Chapter 206 – Law of Karma

By the time Medusa and the unconscious Wang Yun reached Henei's air space, an army with the black flags "Dong" had already stationed inside the city .

Medusa gazed at this army while she calculated a scheme in her mind .

'Once Liu Ping is dead, Dong Zhuo will use this chance to take the throne . Then, his cruelty nature will surface, and it is likely that the Anti-Dong Zhuo war will happen like in the other world's history . '

'But if I establish my authority in Luo Yang first, he will have to resort an aggressive action against me to steal the throne, or he can simply pretend to swear allegiance to me while he continues to abuse his authority as the prime minister . '

'I can kill all of them right now, but I'll probably invite troubles if that Zuo Ci knows about it . I can't fight a 10-wing immortal yet . '

'I have to wait until Tong grows more wings and surpass him . Godfather said he has the potential to possess more than 12 wings if he's nurtured properly . I wonder how long it takes for him to get that far . '

'For now, I have to destroy Liu Ping's influence in the palace . One step at a time . '

Medusa ignored Dong Zhuo's troops and continued flying toward Luo Yang . She reached the Capital City within five minutes and landed inside the inner palace without anyone spotting her .

Her tentacle wings carried Wang Yun toward her room . At the front door of her private room, a squad of twenty guards lied down on the ground, sleeping . Before she pursued Liu Ping, she had put these people to sleep, the same what she did with Li Feihong and his men .

Medusa put her foster father on her bed inside the room and closed the door behind her .

'[Lust Soul], transformation!'

Her lamia body glowed in bright light and shrunk into her 6-year-old humanoid form . Even though Lilith deleted all her skills, she could still use her own ability to transform her outer appearance .

'Next, it's time to forge an edict . '

She glanced at the Emperor Seal in her hands with a wide grin . At the same time, another of her conscious, which was controlling her [Wrath Soul], sent back an alarming warning .

Medusa's [Wrath Soul] took ten minutes to reach Nie County . Liu Ping and his army had arrived there and were resting for the night .

Wrath did not waste any time, it dove down from the sky into the government hall within the city wall to search for Liu Ping . Upon entering the main room, it did not find anyone . The hall was empty, and the torches on the pillar had not been lightened .

'Impossible, I sensed his presence inside this hall . How has it become empty!?'

Medusa expanded her sense around the hall, and she detected Liu Ping . He was sitting on the main seat in the hall in front of her . However, in her visual, the building was empty .

'My sense isn't wrong . Something is blocking my vision . '

"Haiz . "

Suddenly, Wrath heard a sigh of an old man . It turned around to look at the source of the voice .

Zuo Ci was standing behind her with his staff . He was frowning and giving the Wrath Soul a bitter smile .

"Great Demoness . Can you not interfere with the mortal's business? We should let these people decide their fates with their own hands . Immortals like us should stay away from things like this already . "

Wrath shook its head and replied to Zuo Ci via telepathy, "I'm sorry, Great Sage . I only need to take one person's life, and I'll retreat from the struggling of the mortals . Can you have your permission on this?"

"Does it have to do with the realm creation?"

Wrath nodded which made Zuo Ci sighed again .

"I'll still advise you not to do it . Karma is something you shouldn't touch . It will curse you for the rest of eternity, and you will never get your ninth or tenth wing . Let your child and that boy handle him . "

Medusa was taken aback when Zuo Ci warned her about karma . This law of consequences was something that even the gods in Heaven avoided like the plague . It was a curse to all immortals as it forbade them from growing new wings . The karmic curse could also destroy their souls if ones decided to ignore it .

This Karma Law was formed by the creator after Lilith's outbreak incidents . It gave power to the universe to punish the crooked immortals who gained benefits from bullying the weak .

This tribulation happens when someone takes something from another person without a proper reason . Once karma has formed a link between two souls or more, it will tie them together for the rest of eternity until the debtor returns the karma deed . Each time they reincarnate, they will keep encountering each other until the debt is paid .

In this case, had Medusa killed Liu Ping here, the karma law would have tied her soul with Ping's soul . Until she repays him with something equal value to the worth of his current life, she would not be able to grow another wing, or her soul could even be destroyed if Liu Ping's soul ceased to exist .

There was also an alternative way to solve the knots of Karma, by either having the debt owners forgiving the debtor or by having the debtor paying their dues in Hell . However, because the connection between dimensions was severed by the creator, Medusa could not clean her soul by doing her times in Hell .

This was the reason the existence of Hell was urgently required for this dimension . It was a washing machine for both mortals and immortals who accidentally formed a karma to clean their crimes and their knot .

"But Zhang Tong has killed many people in the past . Isn't he also bind by karma? He can still grow wings, am I right?" Medusa protested .

"That boy hasn't formed a new karma with anyone in this world . Every being in here is nothing but empty shells without a soul . Killing innocents here will only increase his [Sin] or degrade a bit of his personality . Even if he kills an otherworlder with a soul, the one who will get the karma tribulation will be Lilith and the one who sent all otherworlders into this world . They are the one who forced his hands . "

"But why do we get bound by Karma if we do the same?"

"Because we're not forced to kill or they can kill us, Great Demoness . Liu Ping is neither a threat to you nor to your realm in the making . Besides, Liu Ping and Zhang Tong are bounded by Karma from their previous life . The Emperor will eventually get himself killed either by Zhang Tong or his subordinates if we leave them be . Your action here is unnecessary, so do not get in the way of their fate . Let them solve this themselves, and your boy can grow stronger after this . "

Feeling helpless against the Karma Law and Zuo Ci, Wrath nodded in understanding and flew away, returning to the main body .

Zuo Ci looked at the departing spirit with a relieved smile . This demoness was more comfortable to negotiate than a certain edgy goddess . Although Lilith let them loose, Zuo Ci deemed that Liu Yang was a threat to humanity and the future of this world, so he continued to detain her in his lightning cage .

'I also have probably formed a karma knot with Liu Yang, but it is worth it . She is not a suitable candidate to be the leader of the new Heaven with her personality . If she is let loose, this world is finished . '

'In turn, these demons are troublemakers, but they have proper goals and gullible hearts . At least, they can be tamed and guided to the righteous path . '

'I'd rather turn this world into Hell with tamable demons than having Heaven full of arrogant angels, but that will also break the balance of the soul circulation system . I guess I have to contest with the Great Demoness myself instead of letting Liu Yang do it . '

Zuo Ci left the hall and disabled his spell . The inside of the main government hall returned to normal, and time resumed . Just a moment ago, Zuo Ci paused the time inside the hall and hid everyone in his private space . Liu Ping and the others had no idea that they had escaped death by a hair breath .

October 25th .

5 . 30 AM .

Li Feihong and his bodyguards woke up with a heavy head as if they were dead drunk last night . They opened their eyes and looked around in confusion .

"Where's the monster!?" A soldier shouted which alerted everybody .

All one hundred bodyguards drew their weapons and looked around in a panic . Li Feihong also recalled the existence of the monster and darted his eyes around in fright .

Upon seeing the rising sun in the horizon, their mind calmed as the sunlight gave them a feeling of being secured from evil spirits .

Li Feihong also managed to pull himself together . He checked his surroundings and realized the anomaly .

"Where's the prisoner and the dead?"

The soldiers also noticed the abnormality . They looked at the ground around them and broke a cold sweat . All the corpses had disappeared, and the prisoner was gone .

"Was it the monster?"

"The monster ate them?"

"She definitely took them!"

"She asked for the old man . She ate them!"

Voice of speculation and guesses echoed inside the mountain forest . Li Feihong gulped as he also thought the same with the soldiers . However, he reminded of Lu Bu and his angry face .

'Can I report to Lu Bu that I captured Wang Yun, but a monster suddenly showed up and saved him?'

'Of course not! He will beat me to death if I do!'

Thinking this far, Li Feihong shouted, "Gather up! I have something to tell you all!"

The soldiers heard the voice and gathered around Li Feihong in confusion . They thought he had the answer they were looking for .

"First, what you saw is real . We've just encountered a monster, and she took all of the corpses and our prisoner . HOWEVER," Li Feihong stressed, "We CANNOT report this to our superior as you know how Lu Bu will react! What do you think he will do if he heard [I'm sorry, my lord . We've captured someone suspicious, but he escaped because a monster saved him]? Obviously, it will be our death! So I want everyone to keep your mouth shut, and don't you utter a word about last night incident!"

The soldiers repeatedly nodded as all of them knew about the temperament of their boss . They, too, used to be getting beaten by Lu Bu as a part of the baptism of this army . Only those who sparred with Lu Bu and survived could only be promoted into this army as a heavy cavalry soldier after all .

Li Feihong sighed in relieved as his men were smart . At that moment, the memorable explosive killing intent was locking on the one hundred men and the otherworlder strategist .

By instinct, they glanced at the source of the killing intent in despair .

Lu Bu had been sitting nearby for quite some time .

The search party had located them last night, and Lu Bu came here to find them lying around without consciousness . Thus, he thought that they had fought with something formidable to the point that they were defeated .

As a result, he remained here to guard these people from the wild animals for the entire night, and he heard everything from the very beginning .

Lu Bu smiled at Li Feihong and the bodyguards, who fainted because they knew there were done for .
