Chapter 282 - An Unfortunate Life In This World

Chapter 282 An Unfortunate Life In This World
Wang Tianzong was staring at the sea.
The sea was churning.
The sword intent around him was also churning along with the sea.
Snow Country was across the sea, which was also the direction Wang Tianzong was staring at.
He had been standing here for about twenty-four hours.
The sun rose and set.


The ice cold sea breeze was whistling.
His black coat was flying vividly in the wind.
Wang Tianzong stood still, like a statue.
This was Beihai Province.
This was Mount Dibing.
The highest spot in the Mount Dibing.
The flowers and grass flourished in four seasons of a year, but this place had no bright color at all.
Rocks.
There were just rocks everywhere.
The rocky path reached from the low spot to the highest stone platform. After hundreds of years of rain and wind, countless rocks had become ancient and worn. The stone platform at the most top spot wasn’t big, and it was just a space of hundreds of square meters. A stone tablet with the height of dozens of meters stood at the highest place of Mount Dibing and blended in perfectly with surrounding rocks, looking stern and boundless.


The sky was gloomy.
The sea was also dark.
The ancient stone platform between the sky and the sea looked darker and darker.
The sounds of waves and sea breeze were whistling together.
Wang Tianzong stood on the stone platform with a calm face, and the whole scene looked severe.
Seriousness was a kind of hesitation.
Wang Shengxiao slowly climbed up to the stone platform from the foot of the mountain. Looking at his father, he didn’t say anything, just bowed gravely at the big stone tablet behind Wang Tianzong, then said softly,
Dad, mom sent me to tell you to go back, she made you some soup.


No.

Wang Tianzong shook his head and said calmly,
Leave me alone.

Wang Shengxiao felt awkward, but he couldn’t do anything about it.



Have your Second Uncle come back?
Wang Tianzong suddenly asked.
…

Yes.

Wang Shengxiao froze for a second.
He came back this morning. He heard that you are here, so he didn’t came to bother you.

Wang Tianzong said after being silent for a while,
Tell him to come here.

Wang Shengxiao answered, took out his phone and started calling.
As Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State, Wang Tianzong was different from other big shots in a lot of ways. The biggest difference was that Wang Tianzong didn’t have his own study room.
Or his study room didn’t serve the same purpose as other study rooms did.
Wang Tianzong rarely read books or documents or had meetings in the study room. He was also reluctant to think about life in his study room.
The so-called study room was just a decoration of the house.


Wang Tianzong preferred this stone platform now.
This place was quiet enough for him and had the glory that he wanted.
This was a forbidden area of the whole Mount Dibing, and it was named Stage of Formidable Person.
A place where hundreds of years of ups and downs, honor and glory of the Wang family of Beihai gathered.
Wang Tianzong turned around and looked at the stone tablet in the middle of Stage of Formidable Person.
The stone tablet looked desolate under the gloomy sky.
This was the Stone of Formidable Person, which was famous in the whole Dark World.
Hundreds and thousands of names were carved on the Stone of Formidable Person, some names looked worn and faint, but they were still glorious in the river of history.
There were a lot of names like this, but on the Stone of Formidable Person, they only took a small part.
The names on it belonged to the ancestors of the Wang family of Beihai, the pioneers of Zhongzhou State, the powerful figures in the Dark World and tycoons in politics and business.


The ancestors of the Lin Clan were up there.
The seniors of the Li family were also up there.
In hundreds of years, all the people who contributed a lot to the Wang family of Beihai were all up there.
Honor, pride, romance, prosperity, all the glory of the Wang family of Beihai gathered here.
Wang Tianzong gently stroke the stone tablet in front of him.
There was respect in his serious expression.
The waves kept hitting the Stage of Formidable Person.
On the Stage of Formidable Person, the current formidable hero of the Wang family of Beihai was facing the Stone of Formidable Person.
It was like today facing the past.
They were all alone.

The future Wang family of Beihai will eventually belong to you.

Wang Tianzong didn’t turn around, just said softly,
Be responsible for the future of the Wang family of Beihai.

Wang Shengxiao rarely saw his father acting like this before. He nodded and said with a deep voice,
Dad, I got it.


Li Tianlan rejected me, so I brought Yuetong back.

Wang Tianzong sighed gently, with obvious regret.
If he was willing to come to Mount Dibing, in the future Dark World, in the next decades, nobody will be the opponent of you two.

Wang Shengxiao didn’t answer.
He was calm all along, so he didn’t show any hostility when bringing up Li Tianlan.
But hearing this name, Wang Shengxiao always thought of his bow at Li Tianlan back in Changdao.
His eyes looked calm, and he said softly,
We are opponents.


Opponents?

Wang Tianzong raised his eyebrows.
You don’t have any opponent, at least not right now. God knows where Li Tianlan is. If he doesn’t show up, you don’t have an opponent. If he shows up, maybe you’re not his opponent.

Wang Shengxiao raised his eyebrows, feeling unsatisfied, but didn’t dare to say anything else.
The whole Wang family of Beihai was upset about Li Tianlan going missing.
Wang Shengxiao rarely left the Wang family of Beihai, but he knew the situation of Zhongzhou State very well. Li Tianlan became famous after the battle in Heaven Capital. The Wang family of Beihai and Kunlun City were immediately sensitive about his coming back to life.
That was why the two parties cooperated together to push the reformation of Zhongzhou State Special Warfare System.
Southeast Special Warfare Headquarters was the result of the reformation.
Now that the reformation had appeared, but Li Tianlan had disappeared.
In this case, Kunlun City and the Wang family of Beihai had gained a lot from this reformation, but they lost the joint enemy, so their relationship got weird again. A few months had passed, Southeast Special Warfare Headquarters was established, but the following work had to be postponed due to various reasons.
Different voices appeared inside the Wang family of Beihai.
It also became messy inside the Special Warfare System.
Now his father sent him to bring his Second Uncle over, probably to talk about this.

Dad, after the Spring Festival, If nothing special happens, I want to go travel.
Wang Shengxiao stayed quiet for a while, then said softly.
…
Right now, he was in the Thunder-shocking Realm. He got in within less than a year, but his combat strength could reach the peak of the Thunder-shocking Realm. He wasn’t even an individual superior of the Half-step Invincible Realm. In this particular and sensitive period, Wang Shengxiao needed to pursue his path, find the right Martial Arts for himself and prepared to rush into the Invincible Realm.

You’re the future of the Wang family of Beihai. Right now I’m here, go ahead if you want to.
Wang Tianzong said softly.
…
Wang Shengxiao nodded. In his sight, Wang Xiaoyao had appeared on the Stage of Formidable Person.
He greeted his Second Uncle.
Wang Xiaoyao nodded, then looked at Wang Tianzong and said,
Brother, what happened?


The Patriarch of the Lolita Clan is dead.
Wang Tianzong said.
…
Wang Xiaoyao and Wang Shengxiao froze at the same time.
The news was no longer a secret. It had spread around the whole world in the past two days. But neither of them expected that Wang Tianzong spoke about what happened abroad instead of what happened in the homeland.
The Lolita Clan was a wealthy family of Snow Country and one of the energy oligarchies of Snow Country, and it was powerful. Also, this family was a significant part of the Polar Ground Alliance.
The Polar Ground Alliance was an alliance, and their internal structure wasn’t like the other superpowers. On the contrary, this was a loose but colossal organization.
The Lolita Clan was an extremely important turning point of the Polar Ground Alliance.
But…
Wang Xiaoyao felt upset.
I know about this. It’s said that it was an internal conflict about power, and it was a clean kill, but I don’t think this has anything to do with us?


It was a clean kill?

Wang Tianzong laughed.
Maybe there are cleaner ways that we can’t see.

He took a look at Wang Xiaoyao and said suddenly,
What do you think of Samsara Palace?


Samsara Palace…

Wang Xiaoyao was a bit hesitant, a bit sad and a bit nostalgic. He suddenly couldn’t say anything.

Because you used to please Qin Weibai, we had a few cooperation with Samsara Palace, so we are more or less aware of some forces inside Samsara Palace. And behind these forces, we can roughly figure out some of Qin Weibai’s methods.

Wang Tianzong thought of Qin Weibai’s gorgeous face and sighed softly. He was old enough to be Qin Weibai’s father, so he wasn’t that interested in her beauty; he was just very shocked at her methods.
That was the most amazing woman he had ever seen in his life. If she was willing to marry Xiaoyao…what a pity, still a pity.

Brother, do you think that Little Bai was behind the Lolita Clan affair?

Wang Xiaoyao frowned.

I can’t see her, and I can’t see anyone. This happened so fast, and it was such a clean kill that it scared me.

Wang Tianzong said softly. Now he had figured out the subordinate families of Samsara Palace. By chance, those families had been through the great power switch. Everything seemed neat and clean, but after that no one knew they had joined Samsara Palace.
Thunder happened in silence.
This method was so quiet and clean. It suddenly happened to the Lolita Clan which had been peaceful in recent years, so he had to be cautious.

But…even if Samsara Palace launches attack on the Polar Ground Alliance, it still has nothing…


Samsara Palace is working with the Purgatory of Heaven Capital.

Wang Tianzong interrupted Wang Xiaoyao.
The Purgatory of Heaven Capital now has East Island, if Samsara Palace continues to take Snow Country, what will happen to the Wang family of Beihai?

Wang Xiaoyao froze, his face turned pale instantly.
The Purgatory of Heaven Capital took over East Island.
If Samsara Palace took over Snow Country…
Then the Wang family of Beihai would be right in the middle of East Island and Snow Country.
By then if the two superpowers declared war on the Wang family of Beihai… It seemed that whether Snow Country or East Island, both of them had the reason to support the two superpowers with all of their strength.
What a big scheme.

Wake up.

Wang Tianzong looked at Wang Xiaoyao.
We won’t be friends, you have to know that. Neither of the Purgatory of Heaven Capital or Samsara Palace will be a friend to us.

Not a friend.
Then they would be the enemies.
Wang Xiaoyao’s expression looked complicated, and he wanted to say something but didn’t.
Wang Tianzong knew what he wanted to ask, but he didn’t answer, either.
From the moment he saw God’s sword in Heaven Capital, he knew that he and Purgatory of Heaven Capital wouldn’t be friends.
Also at the night.
In that sharp and determined sword light, he recognized the sword of the Master of Samsara Palace.
So Wang Tianzong knew that he and Samsara Palace wouldn’t be friends, either.
Wang Tianzong felt really upset after Li Tianlan turned down the Wang family of Beihai.
Not only for himself, but for Li Tianlan.
The Heavenly Son of Zhongzhou State would become a tragedy in the end.
There was a bit of mocking in Wang Tianzong’s eyes.
The Wang family of Beihai.
The Li family.
Kunlun City.
There wasn’t any nobility or evil.
Everybody wanted something, so they fought for it.

Any news about Li Tianlan?
Wang Tianzong asked.
Ever since Li Tianlan left Huating, tracking him became a priority of the Wang family of Beihai.
But they still hadn’t gotten any valid intelligence.
Wang Xiaoyao shook his head and said softly,
We are still looking for him.

Wang Tianzong answered and suddenly said with a thought in his mind,
how’s Ning Zhiyuan doing lately?

Wang Xiaoyao’s eyes focused, and then lifted his head and looked at Wang Tianzong.
The Commander of Zhongzhou State Eastern Theater of Operations, Ning Zhiyuan.
One of the core figures of the Southeast Group.
Recently there had been voices in the Southeast Group that asked the group to take the Li family back in and resumed the old time the Wang family of Beihai and the Li family spent together. Some influential figures had vaguely stated their standpoints.
And Ning Zhiyuan was one of the loud voices.
No one was surprised at his attitude, because the father and son of the Li family were the ones who promoted Ning Zhiyuan back then.
…
Only Wang Tianzong was very surprised because his attitude was too normal, so it seemed abnormal in his eyes.
…

He’s doing fine.

Wang Xiaoyao answered discreetly.
Brother, trust me. I’ll convince him.

Wang Tianzong took an in-depth look at Wang Xiaoyao, nodded, and said,
Three things recently. First, summarize all the intelligence about Snow Country in detail, expand the input in Snow Country. Secondly, find Li Tianlan. Thirdly, invite the tyrant of the Polar Ground Alliance over to the Wang family of Beihai for a visit.

Wang Xiaoyao nodded, then said suddenly,
Brother…about Yuetong…


I’ll tell her myself.

Wang Tianzong waved his hands with no expression on his face.
Wang Xiaoyao didn’t say anything anymore, walked down the Stage of Formidable Person with Wang Shengxiao.
Wang Tianzong no longer looked at Snow Country.
He stood in front of the Stone of Formidable Person, reached his hand and touched the giant stone with so many meanings in silence.
Wang Shengxiao looked back while walking down the mountain.
In his sight, the Stone of Formidable Person was huge.
His father looked very tiny.
He looked at his father while he touched the stone tablet.
That was a kind of careful discreet and respect deep in his bone.
Maybe only the Sword Emperor on the Stage of Formidable Person, was the real Sword Emperor.
Wang Shengxiao watched in silence.
On the Stage of Formidable Person, the Sword Emperor took off the invincible halo on him.
He showed fear, weakness, discreet and hesitation.
For the first time, Wang Shengxiao felt the burden on his shoulders.
Suddenly he remembered his father in the old days.
It seemed that ever since he could remember, Wang Tianzong rarely smiled.
He had always been quiet, silent, one man with one sword. He had been rushing to the peak while carrying the whole Wang family of Beihai on his weak shoulders.
That place was too high.
The peak path was dangerous and had no way out.
He couldn’t step back, because tens of millions of people and soldiers in Beihai Province were behind him; the rise and fall, glory and shame of the whole Wang family of Beihai were behind him.
He couldn’t step back, and he didn’t dare to step back.
So even when he was invincible in the whole world, he rarely felt relieved.
Under that invincible halo, he couldn’t be confident or carefree, and he couldn’t do whatever he wanted.
Instead, he needed to be careful and discreet, or even timid.
The scene at the highest place in the world might be great.
But it could be very unfortunate to stand there.
He lived an unfortunate life in this world.
