Towards Eternity
Ch 640's. Finding the Trace
Weng Li was silent where he stood. The words he was about to say were stuck completely in his throat when he saw the look in the eyes of the Head Advisor of the Weng Family.
He gritted his teeth and held back the anger.
Exasperated and angry, he stomped his feet and walked out of the room.
*SNAKE!!!*
The door of the room slammed, making a sound echo throughout the room.
The man who was the interlocutor Weng Li sighed and leaned on the chair he was sitting in.
"Haaaah. I can carry out all the plans you make without any problems, but to take the post in charge of it, it really makes me tired" he said, rubbing his forehead.
"Patience.I can feel myself now entering the world of memory inheritance. Three more years, and this responsibility I'll take from you, and I'll give it to myself now."
Suddenly, an illusory figure appeared and sat on the throne seat that was beside the Advisory Head of the Weng Family.
His illusory figure made him look like a translucent ghost that could disappear at any moment. This figure had the exact same face as Weng Lou of ninety-nine lives in age.
He was none other than the soul piece that contained the memories of Weng Lou's ninety-ninth life. Weng Lou's ninety-ninth life being together with Weng Lou's present life was a clone, while the one in the Weng Family's residence was purely a fragment of soul.
"No matter what happens, despite having to flatten the entire Mainland even once, I have to kill the creature. Great sacrifice is necessary for the creation of the best future."
After saying it all, his illusory figure disappeared and Family Head Advisor Weng was left alone in the room once again. For the umpteenth time he sighed and then got up from his place.
"Call all the people I've appointed before to go to the Mainland. Tell them to gather in my room. We will discuss the plan of attack so that there is nothing left of the Ying Family," said the Family Head Advisor Weng as he walked out of the room.
Surprisingly, a man covered completely by a black robe appeared in the corner of the room. He paid his respects to the Counselor before then disappearing from the place in the blink of an eye.
"Ying family, maybe you guys are not very related to what the boy from your family who came to this place did, but the oath must be carried out. The extermination of the entire Ying Family will still be carried out. Let the wheel of fate run."
***
In the former ruins of the city, the figure of three people stopped above the ruins and saw the traces of the city that had been flattened to the ground.
The three took a cold breath. Not a single corpse or human bones could be seen in the ruins of the city, there were only stones and walls of buildings that had been smashed apart.
"From the looks of it, the ferocious beasts had left this place yesterday, perhaps not even a day," Wang Tianfei said as he unleashed his Soul Power and sensed the entire city.
Wang Tianfei turned his head towards the east of the city. He flew through the air and stared in that direction. When he was at a height of fifty meters above the ground, he could see the traces of the ferocious beasts that seemed to be heading towards the east.
"Their tracks are still very clear. They must be in a hurry, seeing from their condition, their destination must be the other city that the Ying Family owns," Wang Tianfei explained as he returned down to the ground.
Weng Ying Luan nodded. He looked around. His eyes stared briefly at some of the holes on the ground that were outside the city. He could estimate what caused those holes.
"The soldiers chose to blow themselves up to kill the beasts," Ying Luan said.
Lin Bei looked towards the direction that Weng Ying Luan was looking at. "They must be the soldiers who work under the orders of the Ying Family."
Why would they waste their own lives fighting a beast if they knew it was impossible to win against a beast whose numbers could flatten a city so easily. If it was herself, Weng Ying Luan would definitely leave without caring about the orders of her superiors, it was clearly a suicide mission.
Shaking his head, Lin Bei then answered Weng Ying Luan's question. "They don't want to, they can't."
"The system within the Ying Family is slightly different from the other three families in Mainland. They place their family position far above those who work for them. The soldiers who worked for them would be given a house located in a place that was heavily guarded by the people of the Ying Family. If any of them were to revolt, then the families of those who lived in the houses that had been given to them would be instantly killed without silence."
The one who replied was Wang Tianfei.
Weng Ying Luan looked at him seriously. He had just heard something like this within the leadership system of a Great Family. On Black Sand Island, no one had carried out such a concept in their government. In the Lin Family he also knew that the way of working in it was not too binding on the soldiers who worked for them.
Although he rarely asked Lin Bei questions while making previous trips with Weng Lou, he listened carefully to every piece of information given to him.
Obviously he was not happy with such a commanding manner. There is nothing more he hates than the act of coercion that binds a person under a leadership. "How could there be such a system in the Ying Family's government? Did the other three families not mind it?"
Wang Tianfei only shook his head. He knew Weng Ying Luan was unhappy with such a system. Actually, he's not happy about that either. His wife was not from the Wang Family or any other famous family, she was a subordinate of his who instead fell in love with him. Sincere love made her melt and fall in love with him too before finally deciding to get married.
No one was against her marriage, the Wang Family only gave a light rebuke to her for performing her marriage over the Eternal Wall.
"To be honest, the other three families were also unhappy with the concept of leadership espoused by the Ying Family. They rule like tyranny asking for the obedience of their subordinates. However the other three families could not do anything, the Ying Family was free to do anything within their territory, the Three Great Families did not have any right to introspect the Ying Family. It was a right earned by the Ying Family after participating in the great war five hundred years ago. Their territory belongs to them completely."
The explanation from Wang Tianfei was very reasonable. Yet Weng Ying Luan remained unhappy with it.
His Soul Power was unleashed and instantly swept across the entire former city. Every corner and basement that was under the ruins of the city he could see clearly. He also saw a long hallway leading out of the city, but did not see a single person in the hallway.
Weng Ying Luan's Sky Thief Gloves let out light, Qi and Energy In nature rumbled around her. The entire city was instantly buffeted by the strong wind like a tornado that revolved around Weng Ying Luan.
Lin Bei was wide-eyed to witness this, he had seen the same event happen in the Lin Family Residence.
His Qi churned like he was struggling to get out from within his body. He quickly focused himself on restraining the Qi in his body in order to stop churning. It was unexpected that the cause of the phenomenon he had seen over a month ago turned out to be caused by Weng Ying Luan.
Wang Tianfei who was at that place was also shocked because of this. His body feels hot. His Qi was like it was being pulled out of his body. With a single sweep of his hand he made protection around him using Soul Power. His Qi calmed down again and he stared at Weng Ying Luan earnestly.
The Qi and Inner Energy of nature was absorbed by Weng Ying Luan's Sky Thief Gloves for a few breaths. After that Weng Ying Luan stopped absorbing the Qi and Energy in nature. He didn't make his gloves full, only a few percent.
After finishing absorbing the Qi and Profound Power of nature, Weng Ying Luan then took a deep breath.
"There were no major murders going on in the city, only a few hundred people, and all of them were city soldiers. No one is an ordinary human being. It looks like they have evacuated themselves before the wild beasts came," he said.
His eyes moved and looked at Wang Tianfei.
"Mr Wang, thank you so much for bringing me to this place. I'm going on the next trip alone, you guys can come back."
Thus he shot into the air and flew towards the east, where the traces of the beasts were pointed.
Lin Bei was silent in his place. Wang Tianfei stared deeply at Weng Ying Luan. A small smile was seen at the corner of his lips.
"I hope you can return safely, young man. The Ying Family was famous for all sorts of cunning amongst the other three Great Families. They will do all sorts of cunning and inhumane ways just to succeed their plans. You'll face many obstacles ahead of you."
