Towards Eternity
Ch 569's. Retaliate

Of the many bad possibilities that Weng Lou thought, the situation that was happening now far exceeded all of them.

He did not know whether to be happy or sad because the Patriarch of the Jade Bamboo Sect was willing to help him. However the Ryuan Imperial Emperor was not just any Martial Practitioner. He is a Ruler! One who can lead a vast territory with his own strength and leadership!

He did not need permission to go anywhere he wanted in the entire Ryuan Empire, because he was the one in power. Faced with such a person, the Jade Bamboo Sect Patriarch was no match for him at all.

But, what if there is another aid that is better able to support it?

The elder Meigui, Master Weng Lou in the Jade Bamboo Sect had a relationship with the Emperor. During his two months of searching for information, he did not find too much important information other than Meigui who was once the future fiance of Chizi Ryuan, the Emperor of the Ryuan Empire.

But because of the background problems possessed by Meigui, the two could not step into the marriage and were forced to separate. It was all at Chizi's own discretion, and Meigui respected him. Either way, the two couldn't possibly be together.

The background of the Elder could not be found by Weng Lou, no matter how hard he tried to find it, no matter how hard he tried to find it, it was as if someone was trying to cover it tightly so that no outsider seemed to know about it.

He eventually almost gave up looking further into his teacher's background, and chose to seek out more useful information, until then he knew the full name of the Master and he understood the reason his Master and Chizi Ryuan could not be together.

That was because the Meigui actually came from a family that had existed since the old Empire. His family had their own territory outside the Ryuan Empire, and this was the main cause.

Chizi Ryuan, wanting to unite all the former territories of the old Empire into one in his reign in the Ryuan Empire, wants to unite all the former territories of the old Empire into one, however, the family of Elder Meigui would only grant its territory if Chizi Ryuan changed his surname to the surname of Elder Meigui, and this was clearly rejected outright by the Emperor.

Since the time of his Grandfather, the Ryuan Family has stood alone without support from other organizations or families. They conquered many territories and created a new government, the Ryuan Empire. His grandfather had already fought many things to conquer this land with his surname, where perhaps Chizi Ryuan would change his surname just for the sake of a woman, no matter how much he loved Elder Meigui, he wouldn't do it.

In honor of her first love, Chizi Ryuan promises Meigui that she will not invade her family's territory, despite her ambition to unify the territory of the old Empire.

Currently, inside the protective dome that the Patriarch of the Jade Bamboo Sect had made, Meigui helped Weng Lou heal his wounds with the help of his Qi.

The Qi entered and stimulated Weng Lou's body to heal faster. The wounds on his internal organs began to recover and the wounds on both of his shoulders slowly closed at a speed that could be followed by the eyes.

Elder Meigui was a little surprised to witness this. Weng Lou was like a wild beast that had aged for hundreds of years and was able to heal their wounds in the blink of an eye. Yet Weng Lou was definitely not a beast, he was his disciple, a disciple he had personally chosen to be under his guidance.

"Lou? Can you hear my voice?" Meigui patted Weng Lou's cheeks and his student's attention was immediately directed at him.

"Ah, yes, teacher. I'm sorry, thank you for helping" said Weng Lou quickly and then got up. He felt that his injuries had been treated enough, and there was still something he had to finish here.

"Well, you've recovered a little. Now tell me what happened to you? Why did that guy come here looking for you?" Elder Meigui immediately asked a question he had been anxious to know since his arrival at that place.

To him, Chizi Ryuan and himself were already out of touch, and he chose his quiet life within the Jade Bamboo Sect which was a neutral party within the Ryuan Empire.

The presence of Chizi Ryuan who came here to bring Weng Lou, his new student made him unable to think of a reason that was reasonable enough.

"Teacher, it's actually-"

"Meigui! You don't have to interfere in this matter. I'll leave right now from here, but I'll take your student. He is not from the Ryuan Empire, so this is my business as an Emperor!" chizi Ryuan shouted that cut Weng Lou first before being able to speak further.

Meigui blinked, not from the Ryuan Empire? What the hell does that mean? He was a murderer from another empire or what? Meigui was confused by Chizi's words just now.

"What do you mean he's a spy?" meigui asked Chizi while looking at Weng Lou who quickly shook his head.

Although Weng Lou entered into this Ryuan Empire secretly, he would rather be called an intruder than a spy. Despite entering secretly, he was not the one who came deliberately to infiltrate and search for weaknesses or secret information that was then given to his superiors. He is a free man and is not bound by anything.

"Spies, huh? I don't know who he was sent to, but he's obviously from the Huwa Islands across the Dead Sea. This boy had made it through the cursed area and managed to stay alive intact. I'm not sure who he is, but I want him. You know that crimes like infiltrating the Empire have severe punishments, right? So don't interfere, just go back to your seat" Chizi said flatly and immediately walked over to Weng Lou.

He waved his hand, and the body of the Jade Bamboo Sect Patriarch immediately smashed onto the ground violently. His body was stiff without being moved at all.

"Fucking asshole! Chizi!!!! This is how you treated your former master?!?!!" The Patriarch of the Jade Bamboo Sect exclaimed furiously while trying to raise his body to rise to his feet.

The sound of bones continuously rattling from his body could be heard, and some cracking sounds started to appear. The Patriarch's old face started to turn red and blood came out of his nostrils. But he still tried to get up, without caring about all the wounds on his body that had returned to drain large amounts of blood.

"I told you to shut the fuck up, Grandpa. I've hated listening to your nagging ever since I got your direction. I still can't figure out how could the old me not hold any grudges against you because of your stupid and absurd teaching."

The pressure on the Patriarch's body grew stronger, and a broken bone was heard from his upper arm. That sound like a broken twig actually stopped the futile efforts of the Jade Bamboo Sect Patriarch.

"No! Stop it, that's enough! Please stop! You can kill him!" Elder Meigui took out his Qi and tried to help the leader, but the pressure came upon him and made him fall to the ground, leaving Weng Lou who was still standing alone.

"Well..son, come with me!"

Chizi's right hand tightly grasped Weng Lou's head, then easily lifted her body. Weng Lou rebelled, and with the force of his terrifying muscles, he punched towards the man's chest. But the power of his punch was like hitting a giant mountain that did not even move a bit after receiving his punch that could subvert a Martial Practitioner in the realm of Soul Unification stage 3 peak though.

"Hm? That's a good blow. It is only fitting that you can subvert my subordinates easily. You deserve what you should get. With your physical strength alone this can already be in the position of a General, let alone with the addition of your pure Soul Power that is not tainted by that Qi, you will probably occupy the position of my left hand! Hows it? Are you getting interested in becoming my subordinate?"

Chizi put Weng Lou's face right in front of her face and was only one inch away. Weng Lou could feel the look in his eyes that indicated how much he wanted Weng Lou to be his subordinate. But does Weng Lou care about that? He just wanted to return to his home on Black Sand Island and reunite with all of his family members.

His father and mother, as well as his two adopted sisters, Lingling and Bingbing. His friends, as well as all the members of the Northern Heavens Sect. He wanted to meet with them again, so he would not become Chizi Ryuan's subordinate and settle down in this place.

Seeing from the way Weng Lou looked back at him, Chizi could tell Weng Lou's answer. He sighed, and a slight killing aura seeped out from his body.

"Hey...Do you know how many people want to be in your position? Do you know how many people are scrambling and vying to have a chance to be my subordinate? You little bastard who came out of nowhere, dares to reject me. But that's okay, I'm not a bad guy who likes to bully the weak. But you still have to take responsibility for all the crimes you've committed."

"Killing one of my Commanders, taking out my soldiers on Border Island, and last and most seriously, barging in and infiltrating my territory. With all this evil of yours you will receive a commensurate punishment, which is death."

"Yahghhhh!!!! Aaaaah!!!!" Weng Lou could not stand it anymore, he shouted loudly and unleashed all his strength.

Both of his hands drained his Soul Power and added strength to both of his hands. But all that was still not enough, Chizi Ryuan also added to the strength of his grip, which made Weng Lou feel that his head could break at any time.

"YYYYYY!!!! YOUUUU!!!!!" A Killing aura was unleashed and this time something different had happened.

Weng Lou slowly opened Chizi's fingers one after another, and he finally escaped his grasp. He quickly circulated his Killing Aura and enveloped the entire area around him. The pressure obtained by Elder Meigui and Patriarch of the Jade Bamboo Sect. became reduced, both of them could breathe a little sigh of relief and slowly rise to their feet.

The two of them now stood beside Weng Lou and looked at the Emperor with a clearly visible hostile gaze.

"What's? You guys really want to fight me? I warn you, if you fight me now, then I will assume that you are defending the criminals who have killed the citizens of Ryuan Empire and become criminals with the same punishment." Chizi threatened the two of them, yet it seemed like Elder Meigui and the Jade Bamboo Sect Patriarch did not care about this at all.

They took out both of their weapons and prepared to fight, as well as Weng Lou. He harnessed his Soul Power and took out his twin swords.

"Hmp! I don't care what you do, but you're just pissing me off! I don't know!"

The Soul Power gathered in Chizi Ryuan's hands and formed a gigantic hand which then directly moved towards Weng Lou's group. The Patriarch of the Jade Bamboo Sect snorted, he raised his hand, and a huge hand of Soul Power also appeared and blocked Chizi's Soul Power hand.

Meanwhile, Elder Meigui gently grasped a brush in his hand. He swung it into the air, and thin strings of Qi formed, then completely destroyed the huge hand.

Weng Lou intended to join the two of them to fight against Chizi Ryuan, but the two swords in his hand suddenly let out a very hot air and made Weng Lou's forehead shrivel.

The second layer of his sword underwent a change after being flowed by his Soul Power. The surface became smooth and smooth again as before Weng Lou changed his appearance. Golden glowing lines are also seen decorating the two swords.

Weng Lou had yet to officially name these two swords as having neither Qi nor Soul Power before, with his current Soul Power, he could create a Spirit Weapon summoning ritual and make his weapon level up into a high-level Spiritual Weapon.

The sensation of dark energy in the air Weng Lou could feel as his two swords reddened due to the temperature getting hotter with time.

"Damn, this is not a good time! What happened to these two swords?!" the Umpat Weng Lou.

He was about to leave the two swords on the ground and chose to fight with his bare hands, but suddenly something started to happen. The two palms holding his twin swords started to hurt, and the blood coming out was absorbed by his sword.

Finally, Weng Lou became aware of the situation. He used too much of his sword to fight and kill. Many victims' blood had been absorbed and even some Evil Spirits and Vindictive Spirits were consumed a lot.

If a weapon is used too much, then he will experience a change, but that if it has become a personal weapon given the name, but these two Weng Lou swords have not.

"What do you mean you want to start the naming ritual at a time like this?! That's right!" Weng Lou cursed in annoyance, but his blood was being absorbed more and more.

The energy of darkness and death began to move around him, making Weng Lou feel an oddity. He thought hard, and he got a good idea.

He focused his mind and controlled his Soul Power to form some strange patterns on the flanks on both his swords. As the golden glowing patterns began to stick to the side of his sword, the dark energy began to be absorbed by his two swords.

In fact, the killing aura was also absorbed into his sword. His sword continued to emit light as more and more patterns were created by Weng Lou. These patterns were the patterns he saw when he was making the Night Dragon Sword.

He raised his two glowing swords, and without warning, he thrust both swords into his body.

"Hm?!"

"W-What are you doing Lou?!"

"!!"

The three people who were fighting looked surprised by Weng Lou's actions. They thought that Weng Lou must have gone insane, or that his head might have been injured by Chizi's previous grip.

"I'm calling you from the Dimension of Death!!"

****

Somewhere, the place where Zhi Juan took Ye Lao and Qian Yu, was, the figure of an old man similar to Weng Lou was sitting quietly staring at the screen where it showed the figure of Weng Lou piercing his own body with both swords.

He smiled wryly looking at that, without orders from Zhi Juan, the souls that were in the Dimension of Death would not be willing to respond to his call, so the ritual of summoning a Soul Weapon was impossible.

But something unexpected happened. Inside the Dimension of Death, a portal used to send souls lit up and in front of it, several souls were gathering together and facing the Dimensional Lord of Death.

"You guys...if you do this, you won't be able to reincarnate, are you sure?" ask the Death Dimension Sovereign to the souls in front of him.

They were all souls that Weng Lou had saved from their grudges as Evil Spirits. The lizard that was previously assisted by Weng Lou was also there. They all wanted to respond to Weng Lou's call and become his weapon spirit, but without orders from Zhi Juan.

This was clearly against the law set by the Absolute Author, but they did not seem to care in the least. They wanted to repay the kindness that Weng Lou had done to all of them.

Seeing this desire of theirs, even the Dimensional Sovereign of Death could only sigh at it and allow all of them to leave.

"But remember this! Since your number exceeds your allowed capacity, your soul will be melted down and become one new soul that has a new personality, all your memories will be melted down and disappear as well, do you still want to do it?"

"""Yes!!!"""

"Haaah.I guessed it, then I can just say goodbye."

All these souls enter the portal and on their way through the portal of space and time, they begin to melt and disintegrate, but then merge into one much stronger soul, a soul that is purer and without regard to evil and good.
