Chapter 463 - The Restoration of Morning
The happiest moment for Black Tiger was when his young master sat on him. The vital force of the universe that was shapeless and had no substance would surround Shen Lian's side. It could be said that Shen Lian himself was a spiritual cave where the Qi of vitality would gather anytime. In fact, with his extraordinary divine thoughts that purified the Qi of vitality, those vital force of the universe was actually the spiritual force that was purer than the sun essence and moon radiance. For the Black Tiger to get a breath of it, it was enough to fulfill a whole night of absorbing the sun essence and moon radiance.
This was one of the perks of being in a high state. With the same breathing and respiratory, Shen Lian's efficiency was more than a thousand times of the ordinary cultivators.
However, the one thing that really mattered to Shen Lian was the wisp of dismal vital force within that Qi of heaven and earth. This could help him to legalize the power of the Primordial Spirit from his past life. As for his flesh, he could temper himself naturally and slowly make up for the weakness that was caused by the premature birth.
This replenishment was slow and natural. Shen Lian did not deliberately interfere.
When he reached the outside city walls of Xi Liang City, he looked at the mottled city walls. His divine thoughts then penetrated it. An ancient vital force was felt sensed by him. His divine thoughts borrowed the extension of the city walls. The location of the patrols and the soldiers and the regular pattern of their movements, all these of the current situation were viewed by him without interruption.
Under the order of Shen Lian, Black Tiger climbed the city wall. Each time its paws landed, it would definitely be on the cracks on the city walls. Hit lightly leveraged itself as it continuously rose on an arched route. It finally reached the top of the city and flashed pass. Coincidentally, there was no one around.
This opportunity was only present within the blink of an eye and once it was missed, it was missed. However, Shen Lian did not missed it.
He was not delighted at all. Like a sophisticated computer and even more like the brilliant laws of heaven, he covered all living beings and calculated with precision.
It was as though in that instance, Shen Lian had mastered the past, present and future of the space that is the city wall.
This wonderful feeling made his heart yearn and then detest it. This was because he could touch the past, present and future of the time and space of the city wall so naturally, there would be a greater existence. He had seen pass the past, present and future of all living beings and made best use of the situation. Using this time and space as the chessboard, the masses as chess pieces.
The feelings of self-satisfaction and vigilance existed simultaneously, causing Shen Lian to calm his state of mind.
Black Tiger light paws had gotten through the heavy security and it was getting closer to the residence of the city master.
Shen Lian had not came to the residence of the city master and had never met Gao Jie, but he could find the whereabouts of Gao Jie. He could even feel that Gao Jie's vital force was next to the eccentric person in the black robe.
It was obvious that the both of them were in one spot.
Once Gao Jie had finished speaking to the wizard and she saw that the wizard was deep in thought, she knew that this matter was most probably in prospects. No matter how powerful a person it, as long as there was freed, they would also be used too.
Without waiting till the answer from the wizard, the tightly shut door of the room was opened.
The brilliant green eyes of the wizard stared outside of the door while Gao Jie pulled out her long sword There was an infant riding on a black tiger that waltzed in. It was as though the guards outside had been placed under a spell and they had slipped into a deep slumber.
The gaze of the wizard was focused on the infant. Gao JIe saw the infent and then she thought back to the infants inside the cauldron. Her heart was filled with terror.
Black Tiger moved its steps forward and the sound of its foot pitter pattered on Gao Jie's heart. She was getting more and more afraid but no words could come from her throat. The black tiger pounced with ferocity and snapped her neck with an extremely well-trained movement.
It then turned its head and stared ghastly at the wizard as it let out a low rumbling roar.
The wizard looked at Shen Lian and said, "What backgrounds do you have? If I had offended you in anyway, I am willing to pay for my offences."
A young child voice rang throughout the inside of the house, "You are not qualified to offend me."
Rage filled the wizard's mine. Should one need to be qualified to offend others? This was the last thought in his mind.
This was because his skull had just burst like that. It was unknown when a ray of sword gleam had detonated the various kinds of needs within his mind. It came in a continuous stream and it directly caused the wizard to have his brains to burst out
Shen Lian was not even interested to question this kind of malicious cultivator and he did not think it was even worth it to know his name or background.
Black Tiger that witnessed the entire process of the explosion of the skull of the wizard, in its mind, it wondered just how great it would be when it could learn this trick by his young master.
Shen Lian's voice resonated within its mind, "I can teach you if you want to learn. However, if you do not learn it well, there is a possibility that your own brain will explode too."
Black Tiger shook its tiger tail in a fawning manner, his inner mind answered, "No, no."
Shen Lian felt that this black tiger was slightly funny. It was obvious that it was the king of all beast but t only knew to flatter and cajole to it. It did not had any might bearing. He even suspected that whether it was the soul of the dog that had reincarnated wrongly.
Hardly enjoying the flatters and toadying from Black Tiger's inner mind, he directly ordered Black Tiger to stain its paws with the fresh blood from Gao Jie's body and carve strange and crooked groove marks on the ground. Shen Lian's surging psyche power was infused into the bloody groove marks. It was as though it had primed a hidden force and in a blink of an eye, there was a shapeless vibration that emitted from within the room.
This shapeless vibration was able to spread very far. Finally, within the city, it was as though anyone that had the same blood as the Gao family could hear a special tune and their gazes were becoming more and more lax.
At the same time, Shen Lian was chanting towards the cauldron that the infants were cooked in. The strange syllables disclosed from his mouth and on top of the cauldron, many of the spirit smoke gathered.
Under the syllables that came from Shen Lian's mouth, the spirit smoke began to condense. However, it did not take shape in the end and with a short burst, it dispersed in all directions and it withdrew into the vast universe.
Shen Lian sighed in silence, even the Rebirth Mantra could not let them cross over into the next life.
He found it somewhat strange. Could it be that because the female infants were born due to the Zimu River that it was the reason why there were insufficient innate spirits? It actually turned out that even after death, the resentment thoughts that had not been resolved could not even take shape as it scattered into the universe.
Shen Lian had already done all that he could do. The rest of the following matters were up to his mother to complete.
The night gradually faded away. The sun obeyed the covenant it had with the moon and stars as it gradually risen from afar. Shen Lian rode Black Tiger to the tallest point of the tower and welcomed the ever-changing rosy clouds.
Now, he could exercise more of his divine thoughts. It seemed that a blur silhouette could be seen from that reddish grey sun. It was like a type of bird.
The sun here was definitely not that a giant size star.
Shen Lian felt that perhaps this world was similar to the spherical heavens and square earth that he had read in legends back then.
Simultaneously, Chen Qing calmly and serenely brought hundreds of people to march towards Xi Liang City. The mottled thousand year old ancient city appeared before Chen Qing and the troops. Slowly, there was a commotion within the troop. Many of them thought that their momentum later would not be good and so, they took the first step to stop Chen Qing. This was a great service.
Han Ying protected Chen Qing by her side. Her gaze was chilling and her imposing manner was display undisguised. This shocked and awed the troop of people who were of different minds.
The city was getting nearer and nearer and the sound naturally alerted the soldiers who were guarding the city. Nonetheless, they were still slightly out of their wits. Every people from the Gao family in the military had died without a sound.
There was no breathing and no scars.
It was like there was an unspoken curse which caused the traitors to have a taste of their just desserts and there was no more chance to repent.
The unknown caused fear. The absence of the binding of the leader caused this fear to spread.
Chen Qing took Xi Liang City back without bloodshed. It was easy till the point that even she was surprised.
