298: Chapter 49: Slaying the Red Dragon_3 298: Chapter 49: Slaying the Red Dragon_3 Xie Xuanyi stared at Xie Sheng, with a hint of mockery in his tone.
Xie Sheng’s face was pale, his expression blank.
If seeing his father could bring him a bit of peace of mind,
the sight of this unfamiliar shadow
plunged him into complete disarray.
But for Xie Xuanyi, it was entirely the opposite.
The moment he saw the residual Divine Thought of Great True Master Chong Kan, he remembered the “details” he had overlooked during the great competition at the Sword Palace.
Daoist Zhu, the Incense Fire Pavilion Master, was a disciple of Great True Master Chong Kan…
Xie Xuanyi had always been curious.
Did Daoist Zhu expend such great effort solely to snatch Xie Sheng away from the Sword Palace?
The Taoist path values causality and fate.
There is a cause for every effect.
The Incense Fire House was sparsely populated; Daoist Zhu was isolated and without strong backing.
His descent from the mountain to find Prince Jiangning was hardly in line with Taoist principles…
There was already a cause.
His descent this time was merely to reap the result.
With that in mind, everything made sense.
For so many years, the Jiangning Xie Family had maneuvered around the district, placing Xie Sheng at the pinnacle of worldly tumult, but their ultimate goal had never been for him to ascend to the top of the Sword Palace!
From the beginning to the end, the path Xie Zhisu arranged for Xie Sheng was not the Sword Palace, but the Taoist way!
If not for “himself,”
Xie Sheng, defeating many foes and becoming the top of Lotus Peak to take control of Xuanshui Cave Heaven, wouldn’t have truly joined the Sword Palace.
Qing Sun was the Holy Empress’s pawn, and the Xie Family was the same.
This was the reason why this wisp of residual thoughts appeared amidst the array patterns of the great wasteland at this very moment.
Xie Zhisu had found Master Chong Kan…
and let this wisp of residual thoughts reside within the Red Dragon Cave Heaven of Xie Sheng.
If Xie Sheng were to ascend to the top of the Sword Palace, and Master Chong Kan’s Divine Thought appeared,
whichever came first,
the Da Sui Sword Palace would have no choice but to give up this strand of fortune and accept the fact that the Prince Jiangning had long been taken as a disciple by Master Chong Kan, handing over Xuanshui Cave Heaven and the small prince of the Xie Family in the process.
they would have to fight with the Taoist way.
Xie Sheng was not foolish.
Seeing the dark shadow and hearing Xie Xuanyi address Chong Kan, he too thought of many things.
The voice of Prince Jiangning sounded hoarse as he spoke, his voice filled with entreaty.
Xie Zhisu’s Divine Soul was already torn apart and no longer existed; it couldn’t hear this call.
Now, standing in for Prince Jiangning was the residual Divine Thought of Great Perfected Master Chong Kan of the Taoist way.
The shadow turned slowly, calmly gazing at Prince Jiangning, who sat on the ground.
it shifted its gaze away.
Xie Xuanyi spoke without any hint of respect.
He knew that even a being as powerful as a Yang God, couldn’t possibly span such a vast distance with its residual Divine Thought to bring back any message to the Great Yue Kingdom.
The Great Yue Kingdom had layers upon layers of array patterns.
there were countless Black Evils to stop it.
This place was the Ancient Battlefield, a natural “Soul Comforting Village.”
“What exactly do you see in Xie Sheng, esteemed Taoist elder?
Is it the person or the fortune?” Xie Xuanyi asked softly, posing a question that was even more heartbreaking.
Master Chong Kan’s residual Divine Thought.
It had been residing in the Mei Xin Cave Heaven within Xie Sheng’s brow for many years already.
Prince Jiangning’s rage, cruelty, and indiscriminate killing were all witnessed by Prince Jiangning.
His attitude was one of indulgence.
The household of Prince Jiangning cleaned up all the trouble for Xie Sheng.
Whether it was beating servants to death or grievously injuring his opponents, all the mistakes committed by Xie Sheng were paid for by the household of Prince Jiangning.
Everyone thought it was just the prince’s doting love for his only son.
this indulgence might not be as straightforward as everyone thought.
Xie Sheng had been practicing for twenty years.
The Red Dragon Fortune had grown for twenty years as well.
And what grew alongside Xie Sheng was not only this Red Dragon Fortune, but also the “secret” that Prince Jiangning Xie Zhisu hid within the cave heaven of his beloved son’s brow.
A wisp of Master Chong Kan’s residual Divine Thought.
