Chapter 833: Chapter 837: The True God of the Divine Land?
She had become even more haggard these days.
During the Leader’s Conference, with hidden dragons and crouching tigers all around, even though Master Zhu’s incident was merely one of many, it indeed caused the greatest impact. Of course, now Knowledge Saint Honor also had very reasonable grounds to suspect Hua Dongming of the Sail Dragon Palace had also met his end at the hands of Master Zhu. With his strength, it would have been all too simple for him to crush Hua Dongming.
To have killed the Chief of Tian Shu God Manor’s Dragon Palace and one of the leaders of Xuange Divine Country, the subordinates of the two greatest gods of Tian Shu were murdered—the accumulation of these two crimes alone should be enough to warrant death ten thousand times over, right?
“Everyone has their bottom line. Once touched, even an unrivaled adversary would fight to the death with them, let alone someone weaker than myself,” Zhu Minglang said with a smile.
“War Saint Honor was also once invincible and made many contributions to the God Country. Despite his many wrongdoing over the past decade, his loyalty to Xuange never wavered. You killed him; the God Country won’t let you off,” Knowledge Saint Honor said.
“Now, Xuange still has three Saint Honors. One is my wife, one is you, and the other is Ritual Saint. I’m not clear on what attitude Ritual Saint has, but as long as you, Knowledge Saint Honor, do not pursue this matter, it will be settled, won’t it?” Zhu Minglang said.
“How is that possible? Xuange’s leaders aren’t people you can just kill at a whim. If I were to conflict with you and you killed me, are you suggesting that my ghost should just let you off?” Knowledge Saint Honor was somewhat angered by Zhu Minglang’s absurd theory.
While speaking these words, Knowledge Saint Honor’s body faintly trembled, the slight anger on her face rapidly replaced by astonishment. Her eyes gazed at Master Zhu with disbelief…
Knowledge Saint Honor instinctively reached out her hand and gently touched the faint scar between her eyebrows.
Scenes that seemed utterly unrelated were piecing together at an unbelievable angle at this moment. Those familiar frames were half-consciously sparked by her own words!
“You’ve already… let me off?” Knowledge Saint Honor uttered these words in a tone even she found hard to believe.
How could that be…
He is a Dragon Shepherd…
Where did that sword come from?
Zhu Minglang also felt somewhat surprised. Judging from Knowledge Saint Honor’s drastic change in expression and speech, Zhu Minglang vaguely guessed what was happening.
At that moment, Knowledge Saint Honor told the man in the tiger-skin cloak to leave, using a commanding tone. Ultimately, the mysterious man in the tiger-skin cloak still walked away.
For a time, only Zhu Minglang and Knowledge Saint Honor remained in the courtyard.
In the pond, Mr. Jinli occasionally leaped out of the water, startling sprays of water followed by ripples that undulated through the tranquil scene…
Knowledge Saint Honor stood still, gazing intently at Zhu Minglang.
Zhu Minglang only felt a bit awkward and uncertain, so he too just stood there.
Prophet…
Such a difficult God and Mortal indeed.
He hadn’t given anything away, yet he was still uncovered by the other party in the end.
Fortunately, after contact over this period, Zhu Minglang found that Mi Rong’s teacher was indeed as virtuous and righteous, kind and compassionate as she said she was, but it also exposed a weakness to some extent.
“It was you who killed Sparrow Wolf God. You’re a God Slayer. But why?” Knowledge Saint Honor asked.
“What ‘why’?”
“You clearly could have blinded me, why did you show mercy?” Knowledge Saint Honor pressed.
“Such beautiful eyes turning into a lifeless pond would be a loss to longevity,” Zhu Minglang said with a tease.
Knowledge Saint Honor furrowed her brows.
Was he mocking her?
“Master Zhu, the sins you’ve committed are beyond the scope of forgiveness. If you really want me to let you off, at least tell me the truth, bring to light what you’ve been hiding. Otherwise, I will certainly investigate to the end, unless you blind my eyes now or kill me just like you killed War Saint Honor!” Knowledge Saint said with unwavering determination.
Facing this God Slayer, Knowledge Saint Honor did not show a hint of fear.
Zhu Minglang felt quite helpless, wanting to muddle through, but Knowledge Saint Honor was so earnest and serious.
But now, indeed some things couldn’t be hidden anymore.
“Alright, I admit, I killed Sparrow Wolf God. However, for the details regarding Sparrow Wolf God, you can ask your disciple Mi Rong. I believe what she says will more objectively establish the truth of the entire matter,” Zhu Minglang said.
“You already knew Mi Rong?” asked Knowledge Saint Honor.
“Mhm, she believes in me, and I trust her. She spoke of you often, telling me you are someone gentle and with a great and kind heart. So, when you used your foresight ability to track me down, I did not stab your eyes with divine sense,” Zhu Minglang said.
“Just because of Mi Rong?” Knowledge Saint Honor asked.
“Yes, she has helped me a lot,” Zhu Minglang nodded.
Knowledge Saint Honor recalled that at the dinner table, Zhu Minglang did not hesitate to clash with Saint Hua Chong. She had assumed that Master Zhu was indignant at their high-handedness, but it turned out it was for Mi Rong’s sake.
“I have several questions and I hope Master Zhu can answer them truthfully,” Knowledge Saint Honor said, calming her emotions and speaking solemnly.
“I can answer, but as for being truthful, that’s hard to say,” Zhu Minglang was also quite frank.
“Yang Bing said that he encountered you at Dragon Gate, where you destroyed his physical body. According to my understanding, you had already surpassed most of the Divine Chosen and deities at that time. Yet, you claimed that shortly after eliminating Yang Bing, you didn’t make much progress. That answer is false, isn’t it?” Knowledge Saint Honor’s question was very cunning, virtually impossible to dodge with lies.
A yes-or-no answer.
Most importantly, when facing a Prophet’s questioning, a yes-or-no answer, even remaining silent, the truth would likely be known by the other party as long as she could inquire face-to-face…
“Yes, I went further than him in Dragon Gate,” Zhu Minglang admitted, knowing he could only concede.
Rather than hiding it, he might as well earn some goodwill by being honest.
“Understood,” Knowledge Saint Honor nodded, clearly having more information than what she had asked.
A destiny so high, certainly surpassing the thirty-three True Gods of Tian Shu, and even possibly contending for the top ten True Gods…
No, he was likely a True God!
A True God not listed among the thirty-three True Gods of the Tianshu ranks!!
North Dipper!!
The bordering of the Seven God Territories is soon to be unified, collectively known as the North Dipper!!
With the birth of North Dipper Divine Land, a new Divine Enthronement clads the Dragon Gate.
He is a True God of the North Dipper Divine Land!!!
But which one???
Suddenly, a piercing pain manifested at the crown of the Knowledge Saint Honor’s head, causing her to purse her lips in agony.
The Mechanism of Heaven cannot be deciphered!
Knowledge Saint Honor felt somewhat annoyed; if her cultivation base had just been a bit higher, she would have been able to ascertain which True God of the North Dipper’s divine will stood before her!!
Did Xuan Ge see it??
She’s a Mechanist, her cultivation base even higher than mine, Xuan Ge must see more clearly than I do!
Is that why she’s not shown herself??
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
Even when the War Saint perished, she did not show herself…
Through this one question, Knowledge Saint Honor began to piece together the context of everything that had happened.
Her chest rose and fell slightly, evidently shocked by learning too much about the machinery of Heaven, making her breathing involuntarily heavier and deeper.
“Your relationship with the Martial Saint…” Knowledge Saint Honor calmed herself again before continuing to ask.
“It is as she said, merely that I entered the Dragon Gate, and three years passed, when originally we should have walked the Tianshu together,” Zhu Minglang said.
“It seems I really should have a proper talk with Mi Rong,” Knowledge Saint Honor realized her female disciple knew much more than she did.
“It’s me who asked her to help me hide it, don’t blame her,” Zhu Minglang said.
“She listens to you that much, deceiving even me, her mentor. It’s also my fault, I always felt Mi Rong wouldn’t lie to me; otherwise I could have learned the whole truth much earlier,” Knowledge Saint Honor said with a bitter smile, feeling like a helpless parent whose beloved daughter had been lured away.
“Most of the gods I’ve met are brash and arrogant, utterly devoid of regard for others. Those gods, who had been through hardships and tribulations as mortals seem to have completely forgotten that upon their ascendance, indulging themselves and venting without end. Deities… are not as divine as one might imagine,” Zhu Minglang remarked.
“Most people assign a perfection they themselves cannot achieve to the gods, it’s the people who overestimate the sanctity that should be expected of the gods,” Knowledge Saint Honor said.
“Regardless, Knowledge Saint Honor deciding to stand down instead of directly confronting my wife and me was wise, after all, Yunzhi and I don’t wish for our hands to be stained with the blood of the innocent,” Zhu Minglang said.
Could a few hundred thousand God Army really stop me?
The Yama Dragon alone could massacre them, leaving barely any survivors, not to mention the Sword Spirit Dragon and the Moon Honoring, Star Responding White Dragon. Xuan Ge, being a Mechanist, does not belong to those with extraordinary martial prowess; her presence alone wouldn’t change anything.
And if Xuan Ge were to gather many strong people from the Capital of Divine Country and use the foundational power of the gods just to keep me here, then what would become of the future proceedings of the Leader’s Conference in Xuange Country Capital, with all its numerous leaders and latent dangers?
“You kept the God Army at bay, showing no intention of a massacre,” Knowledge Saint Honor stated flatly.
If Master Zhu is indeed a True God of the North Dipper Divine Land, then the actions of the War Saint were a provocation of the North Dipper’s divine authority, even implicating Xuange Country Capital.
It had to be let go no matter what.
Knowledge Saint Honor now understood how to proceed with the matter.
The question is, how can she charge this Master Zhu without revealing his identity?
His public identity, just a Sect Master of the Building Dragon Sect.
It couldn’t possibly be as the rumors suggested, could it? That War Saint and Master Zhu fought over jealousy, with War Saint provoking the fight, Master Zhu keen to protect the Dragon Heart, accidentally killing the War Saint in their duel???
After all, this matter can’t be tied to the dignity of a God Country or the pride of the God Army.
Actually, this really could be a solution. If public opinion swayed towards personal conflict, avoiding escalation to God Country issues, then it’d be easier to handle.
But that would sully my reputation!
The pursuits of the War Saint for me in the early years are common knowledge in Divine Land.
Add to that, by sheer coincidence, I allowed Master Zhu to stay at my manor, and Martial Saint Li Yunzhi mentioned it in front of so many, hinting at jealousy. If not for that, the rumors about two Saints contesting over a man wouldn’t have spread so quickly. The rumor gained traction because it contained elements that seemed plausible to people!
A headache!
Knowledge Saint Honor felt that dealing with the Leader’s Conference wasn’t as headache-inducing as this affair!
And this person before her, spreading his hands, showed no intention of actively resolving the matter, completely throwing the responsibility onto her.
Not proactive, not responsible, not taking charge…
“One last question, your divine name,” finally, Knowledge Saint Honor spoke up.
By asking directly, not using a Prophet’s abilities, it wasn’t considered prying into the Mechanism of Heaven.
Zhu Minglang chuckled, but did not answer.
Knowledge Saint Honor too knew that pressing the issue would be meaningless.
She left the yard carrying her exhaustion, seemingly destined to shoulder all of this alone.
At that moment, Mr. Jinli leaped out of the fishpond, looking utterly drained and feeble. He glanced at Zhu Minglang with disdain and said, “You’re not even going to give them a name in the end?”
“Go tend to your fish eggs,” Zhu Minglang retorted irritably.
“How can you curse at me!”
