Repugnant Gateway Chapter 324 - Unexpected Cause

Two days had pa.s.sed since An Zheng fell to Peac.o.c.k City, yet he did not have the chance to see Xu Meidai even after entering the Peac.o.c.k Palace. However, they had not been idle for the past two days. The people from Korea did not give up and attacked four or five times. However, they did not have much strength and the people they hired were not that big of a deal. The Divisions monk did not show himself after entering the Peac.o.c.k Palace for two days. An Zheng's heart became more and more anxious, and he was unable to calm down no matter what.

Tian Haogong's calamity came from An Zheng. Although An Zheng did not do this on purpose, it was all because of him. If he could not resolve this problem, then he would feel guilty and uneasy for the rest of his life.

On the night of the second day, An Zheng had already made his decision. If there was no news after dawn, he would challenge the Peac.o.c.k Palace. Even though he knew that the strength of sucuge sect would be terrifying to the extreme, he still had to do what he had to do.

The relay station was very big, and An Zheng didn't even know the name of the tree in the courtyard. Every night, there would be people who worshiped the Buddha, kneeling under the tree and bowing, they were very sincere and sincere.

Chen Shaobai and Du Shoushou had already gone to sleep, so An Zheng couldn't fall asleep as he walked out of the room by himself. He stood under the huge tree and stared blankly into the night sky.

"Xu Meidai?"

Seemingly someone softly called out, An Zheng's heart suddenly tightened.

He looked around. There was no one there, and no one else seemed to have heard him. There were quite a few experts living in the relay station. If there really was a sound, how could they not hear it?

An Zheng listened carefully for a while, then smiled bitterly and thought to himself, could it be my misconception?

It was at this time that someone from outside softly called out, "Xu Meidai?"

An Zheng's face changed, with a flash, he rushed out from the inn. The street outside was very clean. Other than the sound of the wind blowing against the sand, there was nothing else. The moon in the desert was especially bright. The lights on both sides of the streets of Peac.o.c.k City were also very concentrated, so they could be seen very far away. An Zheng did not see a single person.

But this was the third time the voice had sounded at this time, and it seemed to be not far from An Zheng.

"Xu Meidai?"

An Zheng suddenly turned around, and it was as if he saw a black figure flash past. He knew that something was wrong, but he still chased after him.

The black silhouette in front of him was exceptionally fast, only stopping after An Zheng had chased him for a few streets did he gradually stop. An Zheng looked around and realised it walace similar to the Beast Battling Arena. There were seats on the stairs all around him, gradually rising higher and higher. Right now he was standing in the middle of the Beast Battling Arena. The black clothed man in front of him turned around and gave him a sinister smile, and then his figure gradually dimmed down, and in the end he disappeared in front of An Zheng.

At this moment, An Zheng even misunderstood that it was a ghost.

"So it's the shadow technique of the State of Zhao."

An Zheng looked around: "Since I'm already here, why haven't you appeared yet?"

As the sound of his voice faded, a dozen or so figures appeared from all directions, hiding behind the stone pillars surrounding the Colosseum. These people all wore the same attire as they surrounded An Zheng. Standing at the very front was a middle-aged man of about forty years of age. He looked somewhat refined, but even under the moonlight, his gaze towards An Zheng was still filled with hatred.

"I thought you wouldn't be fooled."

The middle-aged man walked down one step aime. His footsteps seemed exceptionally heavy.

"My name is Su Mou."

He stopped ten meters away from An Zheng and looked straight into An Zheng's eyes: "King Zhao's younger brother, Su Qingnuan's uncle."

An Zheng nodded his head, "I guessed that you would make a move against me, so there's nothing to be surprised about. Initially, I also could not understand why Su Qingnuan did not want to become the State of Zhao. Why did the people of the State of Zhao still want to avenge Su Qingnuan? Later, I realized that I was noarent, so naturally I couldn't feel the pain. No matter what Su Qingnuan did wrong, she is still the daughter of the King Zhao. "

Su Mu nodded her head: "You are right, no matter what Su Qingnuan did wrong, she is still a member of our State of Zhao, the daughter of our King Zhao."

An Zheng shrugged his shoulders, "That's why, you are no different from those people from Korea who want to kill me. However, it seems that you have a much better reason for taking revenge on behalf of your loved ones. However, it's not that different. Although we made a big mistake and caused a lot of people to die, we can't die. A parent or an elder has problems with their education. Is the reason why Su Qingnuan acted like that have nothing to do with his parents? "

"Maybe from a young age, Su Qingnuan's tyranny and jealousy have already started to show on her face. But what did the King Zhao and the Queen do? You are the daughter of the King, and if you have committed a crime, the King will help you carry it. Thus, you will only say a few words nonchalantly and then pretend as if nothing happened. "

Su Mu's expression turned ugly. "He's already dead. Whatever you say."

An Zheng: "I was the one who killed him, you just have to kill me."

Su Mu: "Actually, with the relationship between State of Yan and his allies, King Zhao could have never minded this matter. Unfortunately, after death, your State of Yan didn't even have a single explanation! "

An Zheng could not help but laugh. "So, this enmity might not necessarily need to be avenged. We just want to see if I can give you some chips, right?"

"You don't look like a big deal."

An Zheng habitually shrugged his shoulders: "I'm sorry, I wasn't like this in the first place."

Su Mu said: "Since you have decided, as long as you give State of Yan 15 counties, and then compensate us with 10 million silver, we can leave you with your life, but you have to cripple your cultivation."

An Zheng: "It's not considered high."

Su Mu said, "The relationship between allies is related to the survival of both countries, so you have to consider this carefully."

An Zheng: "Generally speaking, do you allow cursing during negotiations? If not, please come and fight with me. I have quite a bit of silver, so I won't give you a single copper. I have a lot of power, so I won't give you even a speck of dust from State of Yan. "

"Kill him!"

Su Mu let out an angry shout, and the dozen or so Golden Scale Guards in the surroundings immediately moved. These people were clearly still standing there, but there were afterimages on their bodies that pounced towards An Zheng. An Zheng summoned out the ice spirit from the Blood Pearl Bracelet and it reached out with one hand. The ice spirit circled around his hand and shot out a circle of silver light. The silver light accurately pierced into the phantoms that were pouncing towards them, but those phantoms were not affected in the slightest, as they quickly pounced in front of An Zheng.

A sword pierced towards An Zheng, who dodged to the side. Soon after, the remaining dozens of afterimages also arrived, a dozen plus swords that were like poisonous snakes continuously pierced towards An Zheng.

Suddenly, a ray of light appeared outside of An Zheng's body, summoning the eight Holy Fish Scale s, spinning them to repel the illusions. Following that, An Zheng raised his left hand, and the Orthodox Pure Yang appeared, illuminating the surroundings. As the temperature of the Orthodox Pure Yang got increasingly hotter, those illusions started to distort and then were actually set on fire. Very quickly, they turned into ashes.

"Shadow skill, paper man."

An Zheng said calmly: "After I killed Su Qingnuan, I was waiting for the revenge of you State of Zhao people. Therefore, I have some understanding of the skills that the State of Zhao people are most proficient in. This Shadow Skill is the most mysterious method used by the Golden Scale Guards of the State of Zhao to a.s.sa.s.sinate people. But I happen to know how to hold back. "

The Orthodox Pure Yang in his hand became even brighter, and the entire Beast Battling Arena was illuminated as if it was day. The unsightly expression on Su Mou's face became increasingly clear.

"You know how to trick me out and find a place to attack me, although you guys are afraid of attracting the attention of the people from the Tsukiko. "But because of this, fighting will not hurt the innocent. I won't kill you today."

An Zheng looked at Su Mou and enunciated each word clearly, "Even you all are unable to kill me."

Su Mu could obviously tell that the round sun in An Zheng's hand was the nemesis of her Shadow Skill. So much light, so much heat, there was simply no chance for him to use his Shadow Skills at all.

But at this moment, there seemed to be a very light sigh. Everyone heard it, and then, besides An Zheng, everyone fell. Without warning or the ability to resist, with just a light sigh, everyone in State of Zhao fainted.

"It's you?"

An Zheng quickly turned and looked around.

Xu Meidai who was wearing a white gauze dress slowly walked down from between two gigantic stone pillars at the side of the beast battle arena. Beneath the Orthodox Pure Yang, she looked so real, so beautiful, and so flawless. She slowly walked down from the high place and kept her eyes on An Zheng.

"It's me."

Xu Meidai walked in front of An Zheng, and the two of them were very close. Close enough, An Zheng could smell a refreshing fragrance from her body. So close that the breath she was breathing, could even brush against An Zheng's face. Close enough, An Zheng could see the sorrow in her eyes.

"I …"

An Zheng opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say.

And following that, Xu Meidai's movements made An Zheng become as stiff aock.

Xu Meidai stretched forward and lightly kissed An Zheng's face. It was only a light touch, but both of them seemed to have turned to stone.

Her face was red and hot, but the sadness in her eyes was more intense.

"When I first saw you, I knew you were him. It's just that I don't want to admit that he became someone else. But no matter what, it can't change the fact that you are him. If I can turn back the clock and go back to the time when I first saw you in State of Yan, I will choose to take you with me and leave this world, no matter what happens in this world. "

"However, I have not. Although I am a bit regretful right now, I do understand."

She sat down on the stone steps, her long skirt reaching to the ground.

"Just now, I kissed you because of the former Xu Meidai. She deserves a kiss like this, whether you kiss me or I kiss you. Because she once loved him so deeply, what she should not have taken away was regret. "

She looked up, tears in her eyes.

"But after I left the State of Yan, I suddenly started to understand a little. What I fear is not that you have changed your appearance, but that I feel that I have never stepped into your world. "You are not dead, it is the person I love who is dead."

An Zheng stood there like a stone, not knowing what to do.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

Xu Meidai laughed, with tears still flowing from the corners of her eyes: "I am not trapped here, entering the Peac.o.c.k Palace is my own choice, no one is forcing me. After I left the State of Yan, I came here in search of a peaceful heart. Dharma enlightened me, made me understand how terrible my paranoia was. You don't love me, and although I don't know why you don't love me, I never dared to admit it before. "

She looked into An Zheng's eyes: "But even if you don't love me, if there's anyone in this world who can tell that you're Fang Zheng, then that's me. Your eyes are the same as his. Perhaps you did not remember how many times I looked into your face and your eyes. Maybe you haven't remembered how many times I've felt your breath around me. I'm familiar with everything about you, even the smell from your body. "

An Zheng lowered his head, tears forming at the corners of his eyes: "I'm sorry …"

Xu Meidai imitated An Zheng and shrugged, "How can I be sorry? It's just that I chose you, and you didn't choose me. So, no one has ever let down anyone, it's just that we're not fated to be together. "

An Zheng felt his heart being blocked by a huge boulder, so heavy that he could barely breathe.

"You don't need to feel guilty. The reason I kissed you earlier was to sever all ties with the mortal world."

Xu Meidai stood up, and raised her hand to wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes. "I want to become the Sect Leader of the Peac.o.c.k Palace, and wholeheartedly cultivate with my heart, so naturally, I cannot let go of anything in my heart. Therefore, I must sever everything before I become the Sect Leader. including the relationship between us, that kiss was also severed. "

Her expression gradually recovered its calmness, and she still looked like that arrogant Palace Chief Tian Haogong.

"But this is only a relationship of love between you and me. There is alselationship of love. There is also a relationship of hate."

Xu Meidai said as she slightly raised her chin, "I want to cut off all these, because they will affect my cultivation. The people I invited were all related to your death. If I help you kill them and take revenge, then I have nothing to do with this world anymore. The one who planned to kill you was Chen Zhongqi, he is here. The one who helped to contact Su Qingnuan to set urap to kill you was Su Mou, he is here. The one who was bribed by Chen Zhongqi to imitate the Sacred Emperor is your original subordinate, Yin Zhiting. Back then, among the people who partic.i.p.ated in the siege of you, not only were there people from the Da Xi Empire and the Yan Clan, there was also a person from Youguo. His name was Zhuang Dong and he was once a follower of Chen Zhongqi.

Xu Meidai looked at the fallen people around him. Lifting her hand slightly, all the Golden Scale Guards of State of Zhao turned to ash.

"This is no longer your problem. It is my mortal destiny."

Her voice was cold. "I want to cut him off!"
