Chapter 1159: Collisons between Powerful Ones

As this solemn killing intent gradually spread over Sincerity Garden, the fish in the pond near the two people instantly sneaked into the bottom of the pond; some birds on the treetop flew off in a flurried way; even the stray cat’s meows disappeared. As a result, the entire Sincerity Garden seemed to be frozen.
“Master of the royal prince, if you allow me to return home, Zhengfang will definitely appreciate you in the future!” Han Zhengfang’s voice suddenly turned a bit hoarse; meanwhile, his imposing manner also started to be aggressive and domineering like an iceberg that came out of the sea level.
Han Zhengfang who had been well behaved since he entered the Sincerity Garden didn’t treat the master of royal prince in a respectful and restrained way anymore. In a split second, he started to talk with the master of the royal prince on the equal footing.
Master of royal prince looked at Han Zhengfang as he said, “If you leave Sincerity Garden safe and sound today, how could you stay in Xuanyuan Hill any longer? Your appreciation is my poison!” After saying that, the master of royal prince let out a sigh suddenly. Closely after that, he shook his head and looked at those riprap beside the pond as he muttered one sentence that made Han Zhengfang confused, “Alas, I’ve not imagined that it would come so fast!”
“Does the master of royal prince know why Emperor Xuanyuan is missing?” Han Zhengfang suddenly asked Meng Shengdao with a sneer.
“No, I don’t.” Master of royal prince shook his head as he answered in a distant way.
“Because Emperor Xuanyuan knows that Taixia Country would definitely be exterminated by demons in this holy war. Although the tunnel leading to the Earth-elements Realm in Military Province and Lion Fortress beneath that tunnel could successfully prevent the army of demons from entering the core territory of Taixia Country, this time, they can’t. Because demons’ army has already found another way to reach the territory of Taixia Country by detouring the tunnel in Military Province in the Earth-elements Realm. This time, the strength of the demon army is hundreds of times more greater than that in the former two holy wars between humans and demons. The demon corps on those subcontinents are just a small part of the demon army!” Han Zhengfang smiled more genially when he watched the master of the royal prince who remained as casual as usual, “As Emperor Xuanyuan knows that Taixia Country would not have a chance to win this holy war, he has left for the underground world before the holy war broke out. He wants to look for the legendary Xuanyuan Hill which might bring Taixia Country and Hua people the last bit of hope!”
When he heard “Xuanyuan Hill”, the master of royal prince’s eyes shot out a shrewd light.
Meng Shidao knew that the Xuanyuan Hill mentioned by Han Zhengfang didn’t refer to this nominal capital of Taixia country and center of humans where they were in. Actually, the name of the capital of Taixia Country originated from a legendary supreme item called Xuanyuan Hill among Hua people. In the most mysterious history of Hua people, Xuanyuan Hill was the origin of Hua people. One day, Xuanyuan Hill fell onto the earth from the sky. Closely after that, the forebears of Hua people walked out of this Xuanyuan Hill and came to this world. In the ancient legend, Xuanyuan Hill was a huge cube which carried mysterious abilities. This cube was the real sacred and immortal item of Hua people. Because of the existence and legends of Xuanyuan Hill, some people in Taixia Country called Hua people as immortal people.
Xuanyuan Hill was actually a huge cube; instead of the nominal human city where they were. Only very few Hua people knew this secret. Meng Shidao was one of them.
Emperor Xuanyuan was missing as he was looking for the real Xuanyuan Hill. Even the royal prince didn’t know this secret, not to mention the master of the crown prince!
Watching the silent expression of the master of the crown prince, Han Zhengfang took in a deep breath as he continued, “In order to look for Xuanyuan Hill, Emperor Xuanyuan has already been mired in a desperate situation and completely lost his contact with the outside world. Nobody knows whether he’s still alive or not. He might never come back. Master of the crown prince, why not leave a chance for yourself and your clan at this moment?”
“Even the crown prince doesn’t know it, how do you know that?”
At this critical moment, Han Zhengfang had already displayed his bearing as the master of a sect as he became not that scared anymore, “There was an item of Bloody Soul Temple that really came from Xuanyuan Hill. I presented that item to Emperor Xuanyuan by setting a plot through Gold and Power Law in the excuse that Gold and Power Law gained it by accident. The “Xuanyuan God Sutra” that Emperor Xuanyuan cultivated was metaphysical. As a result, Emperor Xuanyuan has special senses about the items in Xuanyuan Hill. With this item as a lure, I have Emperor Xuanyuan enter a desperate situation himself and sweep the largest obstacle of demons in Taixia Country.”
“What’s the relationship between you and Bloody Soul Temple? As the lacky of demons, what benefits could you gain?” Meng Shidao asked.
After hearing Meng Shidao’s questions, Han Zhengfang burst out into laughter suddenly which sounded a bit miserable and indignant, “Hahahaha, at that time, Bloody Soul Temple just grasped the building method of the bloody sea; however, imperial households and the top 7 sects in Taixia Country joined hands to exterminate us. What crime has Bloody Soul Temple committed? Why would we suffer such a great loss? Almost all the members of Bloody Soul Temple had been slaughtered. The so-called reason that bloody sea violated the universal laws and that disciples of Bloody Soul Temple made troubles everywhere across the country didn’t exist at all. When did our Bloody Soul Temple kill innocent people for building bloody seas? Although there were some belials in Bloody Soul Temple who make troubles across Taixia Country by the secret methods of Bloody Soul Temple, it’s nothing strange at all. Major sects and clans always have tens of millions of disciples of different qualities, even so, more than one disciples of Taiyi Fantasy Sect are being wanted by the Supreme Court. Why not exterminate Taiyi Fantasy Sect? We built the bloody sea only for an experiment. All the blood in the bloody sea came from animals. We didn’t kill any human for building it. By contrast, although you call yourselves decent sects, you arranged moles among the disciples of Bloody Soul Temple and cast greedy eyes on the secret methods of our Bloody Soul Temple. Meanwhile, being afraid that our bloody sea could grow more powerful, you even joined hands to exterminate our Bloody Soul Temple. As the sutra-preach elder of Bloody Soul Temple, how could I not revenge such an animosity? Cooperated with demons, so what? In this word, the winner would become the king while the losers would become bandits. If demons win this holy war, I will be the human emperor of Taixia Country in the future. The justice would be on my side. Only after 200 years, the pettifoggers would nail the top 7 sects and the imperial households of Taixia Country onto the pillar of stigma as rebels and traitors!”
“I’ve not imagined that the finance minister of Taixia Country is the sutra-preach elder of Bloody Soul Temple!” Master of crown prince let out a sigh with emotion as he looked up at the sky. Closely after that, he shook his head.
In Taixia Country, some sects had sutra-preach elders, some didn’t have. The duties of sutra-preach elders of each sect were greatly different from each other. Some sutra-preach elders were only responsible for preaching some ordinary classics to their disciples through enlightenment; some sutra-preach elders could grasp the most important secret methods of their own sects; some sutra-preach elders were appointed by the masters of the sects, whose identity would be known by many people; some sutra-preach elders had their own inheritance system, in which situation, even though the masters of the sects didn’t know who were the sutra-preach elders of their sects; namely, the inheritance system of sutra-preach elders were independent of the sects. sutra-preach elders fulfilled their duties silently. Undoubtedly, Bloody Soul Temple accepted the second inheritance system of sutra-preach elders, which was also the most mysterious kind.
The second kind of sutra-preach elder was the most mysterious figure in a sect. This person got hang of the most important classic secret methods of a sect. Benefited from this mode, if the sect suffered a catastrophe one day, the sutra-preach elder of this sect could serve as a kindling to reinvigorate the sect one day.
The kindling of Bloody Soul Temples was not only preserved but also turned into a big blazing fire of Heavens Reaching Church that almost burned Taixia Country as a whole into ruins.
“You designed the tragedy in Fuhai City, right?”
“The Zhang brat ruined the great plan of our Heavens Reaching Church in Youzhou Province. His potential was really terrifying. If he grew up, he would definitely become the stumbling block of my great undertaking. I had to have forethought. Therefore, I set a plot to eliminate him!” Han Zhengfang smiled as if he was saying something trivial, “I just did something which master of royal prince also wanted to do yet felt bashful to do! I’ve not imagined that Zhang brat could escape from my plot and gain a great fame. I really underestimated him.”
“The enmity between me and Huaiyuan Palace is not for private benefits but for the universal laws. Therefore, I would never use your mean method!” Meng Shidao genially persuaded Han Zhengfang, whose qi grew stronger, “If you fold your hands for capture and could clarify all the plots that you and demons have set in Taixia Country over these years for the sake of numerous lives, I swear to keep you alive in front of the crown prince!”
Han Zhengfang suddenly let out a sigh as he said, “According to your words, the master of crown prince still determines to keep me here?”
“Yup, I have to!”
“If so, master of crown prince, you could…go die!”
Han Zhengfang’s eyes turned bloody at once while two bloody spiritual strikes, which could mess up the mind sea of a heavenly knight, flew out of his eyes like bloody lightning bolts before booming into the head of Meng Shidao in a speed which was much faster than that of lightning bolt.
What an unavoidable spiritual strike!
This was the most powerful and irresistible trump card among all the secret methods of Bloody Soul Temple——Soul-Killing Bloody Spiritual Sword.
This strike could already reach the level of a heavenly knight.
The soul-killing bloody spiritual sword hit Meng Shidao. The aftermath of this strike swept over the entire Sincerity Garden which became deadly silent. All the fish at the bottom of the pond and the ants in the nests were killed in a split second.
When the soul-killing bloody spiritual sword hit Meng Shidao and made his body turn stiff, Han Zhengfang’s punch arrived too. Being as powerful as a meteor that flew from the outer space, this punch broke through the void and passed by the stone mill between the two people, shattering all the trays, bowls and iron bottles on it. Like being blown over by a wind constantly for hundreds of millions of years, everything was dried, weathered and turned into dust and memories…
Han Zhengfang, the former finance minister of Taixia Country or a shadow knight, revealed a terrifying battle strength and power that should be owned by a heavenly knight at his full efforts in a split second…
With a remaining faint dumbfounded look, Meng Shidao’s chest was penetrated through by that punch, sending him to fly off…
Han Zhengfang didn’t care whether Meng Shidao was alive or dead. He instantly strode over 100 m away only by one step. After another step, he strode out of the wooden hedge of Sincerity Garden by one foot…
However, before he started the 3rd step, Han Zhengfang had to stop.
The street outside the wooden hedge had disappeared at this moment. Although he had crossed over the wooden hedge, he entered the Sincerity Garden once again.
Han Zhengfang looked back and found that the street was on his back. Besides that humpbacked old servant who had disappeared, everything in front of his eyes was as same as that when he came to the Sincerity Garden at the beginning.
After leaving the Sincerity Garden, he entered the Sincerity Garden once again. It seemed that the sense of space had disappeared. The low wooden hedge felt like an impassable heavens reaching abyss.
Master of the royal prince was still standing beside that stone table being composed of the stone mill under the old peach tree while looking at Han Zhengfang genially with a small dough figurine whose chest was penetrated through. Meng Shidao said, “I’ve not imagined that you’ve long promoted to a heavenly knight. You’ve really buried your secrets deeply!”
Face turning slightly pale, Han Zhengfang looked up at the sky. The Sincerity Garden and the sky both remained unchanged.
“Semi…sage…realm…” Han Zhengfang uttered the three words hardly.
“I’m sorry…” Master of the crown prince replied bashfully.
