Long Live Summons

Chapter 949


Chapter 949: Liberty Queen?

Sky Execution and the Dragon Emperor looked at each other as they remained silent.

However, Chief Steward Ye, who had reacted in shock, stood up tremblingly, “My Lord, if you have any last words, please entrust it to sir Sky Execution. I have a humble status, so I am afraid it would be difficult for me to take on a heavy responsibility.”

Although flustered, Chief Steward Ye was not a fool.

In these critical moments, his first choice would be the mighty Sky Execution.

Now that Young Master Titan was not present, the three Country Lords Qinglang, Wanjiao and Louluo were staring at each other. If they were allowed to intervene, not only the Green Willow City, but perhaps the entire Zhi Feng Country would be split among the three. Therefore, it would be better to entrust the Lord’s will to Sky Execution and wait for Young Master Titan to return. From there, he would arrange the matters, hopefully fulfilling any last wishes of the Country Lord Zhi Feng.

“It appears that you are still the loyal one…” Country Lord Zhi Feng smiled bitterly and suddenly stood up.

The energy on his body burst out like a blazing light, and he, who was originally weak and dying, quickly recovered to what his state was before. If it weren’t for the fact that a poisonous assassination dagger was still stuck in the back of the heart and the blood dripping from his body, people would doubt whether their vision was misleading.

Chief Steward Ye, the other City Lords and the Heaven Ranked warriors couldn’t help cheering loudly.

In any case, they didn’t want Country Lord Zhi Feng to die.

If Country Lord Zhi Feng were to die, then they would have to be under a different dictator.

After the change of ownership, their current prosperity and wealth would not necessarily remain the same. It would be okay if they were entrusted to Young Master Titan or Sky Execution; they didn’t seem to be the type who would take advantage of the situation and control the Green Willow City according to their selfish needs. It was very likely that everyone would have their own share of dividends and rights. However, if they were to fall under the ownership of the three Country Lords, the hopes in their hearts would flicker and dim. The influential City Lords would also probably be eliminated and the people would have to rebuild from scratch. No one was willing to see things regress this way, so seeing Country Lord Zhi Feng standing up and reverting to his optimal form made everyone cheer in joy.

Qinglang, Wanjiao and Louluo were slightly disappointed, but their gazes were sharp.

They noticed something that ordinary Heaven Rankers weren’t able to pick out and their lips curved into a small smile.

Though Country Lord Zhi Feng recovered, did he really heal back to his state as before? That would be impossible as there was a dagger in the heart and the blade was draped with poison. Country Lord Zhi Feng, who was not an elemental body, would have no chance of being immune to the poison. The assassination was actually borderline successful.

The current Country Lord Zhi Feng was just showing his strength on the surface.

However, with Sky Execution and the others present, Qinglang and the other two Country Lords remained unmoving, pretending that they didn’t see through his facade.

“Sir Sky Execution, Zhi Feng has a lot to be sorry for, but I don’t hope to amend this merely by verbal apologies. Today’s incident was entirely the fault of Zhi Feng alone and it has implicated Young Master Titan and all the other distinguished guests. Everything else can be put aside as long as the Young Master Titan is fine, but can I know how we are to locate him to make sure that he is safe?” After saying this, the Country Lord Zhi Feng fell silent again. Young Master Titan was also nearly assassinated just now, but nothing should happen to him as that would lead to the downfall of the entire Green Willow City.

“There is Hui Tai Lang guarding him, so there shouldn’t be a problem,” The Dragon Emperor temporarily stayed in the hall as Sky Execution quickly left.

Ten minutes later.

Sky Execution brought back Hui Tai Lang, who was not astonishing in appearance but was actually a Divine Beast that shocked everyone.

It summoned the Grimoire, glittering with golden light as it reflected its luminance in everyone’s eyes.

Seeing the Divine Dog Beast summoning a Grimoire of a Platinum Level, the audience, including Country Lord Zhi Feng, were extremely ashamed and embarrassed. That was because amongst the numerous Heaven Rankers present, only Zhi Feng and the other three Country Lords were able to summon their Grimoires. Country Lord Zhi Feng owned a Silver Level Grimoire, which was the strongest grade out of the four of them, but it wasn’t even close to Gold, let alone Platinum.

The talents in the Heavenly Splendour Territory have severely diminished to the point where there were only a select few who could contract a Grimoire.

Moreover, some Country Lords would kill the younger generations that could summon a Grimoire themselves just to protect the ‘rarity’ of the title and prevent them from attempting to take over even though they might not even have the intention to do so in the first place. This, in turn, caused the Grimoire summoners to become even rarer, to the point where it was the norm to only be owned by the Country Lords.

“Oh great Divine Beast, I was too negligent, please forgive me,” Chief Steward Ye quickly led the first servants of Leader Jin’s class to bow to Hui Tai Lang and pay their homage to him.

“Aooooo!” Hui Tai Lang proudly made an ‘okay’ gesture that he learned from Yue Yang before releasing his master from the Grimoire World.

Everyone watched nervously, hoping that the Young Master Titan who was nearly assassinated, would not be angered by the situation.

They guessed that a sheltered Young Master like him would probably have never felt such intensity before. If it weren’t for the protection of Divine Beasts, even if he didn’t die, everyone thought that the Young Master Titan would at the very least suffer chronic injuries.

As soon as student Yue Yang came out, he immediately burst into laughter, “Not bad, that was very exciting. I didn’t expect that there would be assassins here at the birthday banquet, but that was really fun. By the way, have those assassins been caught? I’m going to interrogate them myself. Prepare a whip and a soldering iron; I want them to know what the torture is like!”

After listening to the words of this Young Master Titan, everyone felt relieved and laughed.

As long as he was alright, everything else could come later!

But having assassins in a birthday banquet was definitely not an enjoyable thing. Something like this shouldn’t have occurred at all, so they hoped that this was going to be the first and the last time an incident as such would happen. Otherwise, it was going to be hard to settle it in the future!

Country Lord Zhi Feng was also relieved. Having an attack against him was something he couldn’t care less about, but it would be bad if the Young Master was injured in any sort of way, that would have been absolutely terrible. He stepped forward to give a slight salute and apologised before he sighed, “The enemies came in with a plan, one that brother Zhi Feng was unable to stop. Fortunately, brother Titan hadn’t sustained any sort of injury, otherwise things would have been bad. But now, the assassins have disappeared into thin air, and they even took my beloved concubine with them…”

He recounted the cause and the effects of the incident.

Of course, the details about his suspicions that it was the act of the Central Palace that came to assassinate the Young Master Titan and trying to pin the blame on the Vengeance Domain Emperor— that should be left unsaid for the time being.

It will be brought up, but not in front of Qinglang and the others.

He was going to wait for a good opportunity to tell the Young Master Titan in secret.

I haven’t lost yet.

With Young Master Titan standing on his side and with the support of the other powerful rankers such as Sky Execution, the Dragon Emperor and the Underworld Emperor, he still had the power to fight!

“It’s fine that the Divine Blood was taken away, I can give you another drop, so don’t fret about it. As for the beauty Zhu Guang, Titan feels sorry that she was dragged into this unfortunate mess. If I get any clues of her whereabouts and can somehow find her on the Central Island of the Zhi Feng, I will definitely do my best to rescue her and bring her back. These lumps of assassins were too arrogant; how dare they ruin this Young Master’s fun! I have decided that I’m going to see to the end of this in person, otherwise, they will think that this Young Master Titan is an easy target to bully! Zhong Guan, get my guards and assemble together; this Young Master is going to beat up those useless idiots into shreds!” Student Yue Yang waved his hands exaggeratedly, indicating that the battle was not over as the battlefield was merely moved to the Central Island of Zhi Feng!

Even for someone who was as stone cold as Country Lord Zhi Feng, he was moved by the declaration. Young Master Titan was his lifesaver— with such a friend like him, there was nothing else he could ask for!

Qinglang and the others were so jealous.

What the heck? What sort of undeservingly good luck does that mutt Zhi Feng have? He didn’t even blame Zhi Feng for losing the Divine Blood, but he even offered to give him another drop? What?

If it weren’t for the fact that the bastard was injured and unable to absorb the Divine Blood, perhaps the Young Master Titan might have even sent a new batch of the Divine Blood straight away to this hall to comfort him. Freaking hell, the luck of Zhi Feng, that idiot, is way too good to be true. Why didn’t Yu Chao just stab him to death just now?

Qinglang, Wanjiao and Louluo exchanged glances and nodded secretly.

They have seen the weakness of Zhi Feng; there was no doubt that it was his ‘heart’.

For the traitor Yu Chao, someone who knew Country Lord Zhi Feng the best, there was no reason for him not to strike the weakest points of his enemy.

For an ordinary Heaven Ranker, the heart was not a weakness, so for a high grade Country Lord, it wouldn’t even matter if his heart was destroyed. For example, Qinglang himself could fight completely without hindrance even if his heart was to be shattered. However, Zhi Feng, who was also at the level of the Country Lord, indisputably fell to the ground when a dagger pierced his heart. If Sky Execution was not present, Zhi Feng would definitely have died if he was attacked again.

Which meant that if they really wanted to kill the bastard Zhi Feng, they had to aim for his heart once more.

The stubborn man was just trying to keep himself from worsening his injury and putting on a straight face.

Country Lord Zhi Feng gave Qinglang and the others a cold look and spoke of words in a secret language towards Yue Yang’s ear. Apart from Yue Yang, no one else could hear him. Yue Yang nodded again and again while Zhi Feng’s eyes became more and more gloomy; instead, Qinglang and the others felt chills run down their spine.

Could it be that Country Lord Zhi Feng was going to put the blame on them? Or did he figure out something suspicious that he could relate to their actions?

No one knew the truth.

But the young Young Master Titan, who was surrounded by the crowd, quickly reacted. He clenched his fists and smiled, showing a murderous glint in his eyes that made the spectators shudder, “Hmph, how interesting. Since that’s the case, then we have to prepare seriously for the battle. It’s been a long time since we’ve been this pumped up! There are many people who want to move this Titan, but how many of them will have the last laugh?”

The people present were surprised to find that when the Young Master decided to become serious, they could collectively feel a sense of coercion pressing down on them.

His strength was not high as he was probably something close to a Quasi-Heaven Rank and he relied on his treasures to boost himself to a power comparable to the Heaven Rankers. However, even the strongest rankers like Country Lord Qinglang and the others could feel the coercion emanating from Yue Yang, let alone the other ordinary Heaven Rankers.

‘In the Upper Realm, no one is weak’— whoever mentioned that, it was definitely true!

They then waited for Chief Steward Ye and the others to prepare the luxury airship, setting course to the Central Island of Zhi Feng.

Ming Ri Hao, the guy who hid himself to indulge in his meals, took advantage of the time where no one was paying attention and fisted Yue Yang, “Damn, your plan really worked. The thing that I respect the most is the fact that those assassins were really cooperative. What sort of methods did you use to get to this stage?”

“I used my brain,” Student Yue Yang answered him vaguely, conspicuously despising this lazy guy for not doing enough work.

“If that side’s forces appear, do you have enough people?” Ming Ri Hao was used to getting scrutinising gazes from Yue Yang and was no longer angered by that.

“What do you mean by ‘you’? Remember, it’s ‘we’. If you are lazy again, this Young Master will leave without saying a word and give you the entire Divine Grimoire. If you have the ability, you can slowly kill the brats in the Central Palace who like to play sneak attacks from behind. It’s easy— deal with them and the Divine Grimoire is all yours,” Yue Yang warned Ming Ri Hao not to pretend to be dead, or else their cooperation would collapse in one shot.

This was what Ming Ri Hao was most afraid of, so he quickly waved his hand, “Hey, hey, I’ll say, Third Young Master, let’s just talk in a civil manner, okay? Don’t get angry. I wasn’t being lazy before; I just acted according to your plan. Besides, if Zhu Guang didn’t go away, she would have seen through my disguise the moment I appeared— wouldn’t that be a bad thing? Whatever happens next, I will follow your orders. If you ask me to go to the west, I won’t diverge to the east; if you want me to shut up, I ensure that there would be no noise from me!”

“Is there really a Divine Grimoire here?” The Dragon Emperor was still a little unconvinced.

“I actually hope the Heavenly Splendour Territory doesn’t have it,” Yue Yang felt that it was best if there were no Divine Grimoires here. Without it, he wouldn’t need to go against someone psychotic like Ji Wu Ri.

“I’m not interested in the Divine Grimoire, but I must test the Palace Master myself,” These were the words of the battling madman Sky Execution. He knew that it was impossible for him to contract the Divine Grimoire so he would rather let the pervert Yue Yang figure it out. However, he wanted to try out the skills of the Palace Master.

“There will be a chance for you to do that, but if you are not afraid of hearing the truth from me, I’m going to say something you might not like— all of you combined together will probably not be enough to fight one of them,” Ming Ri Hao knew that the strengths of the Palace Masters.

“It’s useless to try and intimidate them for they have already killed two Deputy Palace Masters and are darned proud of themselves. If you don’t let them hit the nail, they’re not going to believe it,” Yue Yang snickered happily.

“You guys killed two Deputy Palace Masters?” Ming Ri Hao was so surprised that his eyes were about to fall out.

When did the standards of the Deputy Palace Masters become something so common like cabbage?

No wonder Sky Execution said that he wanted to challenge the Palace Master!

Feng Ji and Jin Yun, the two newcomers who have just joined, were going to burst into tears. They knew where they stood in the ranks of power. Fighting with the Central Palace? Their future was bleak!

Just as Yue Yang, Sky Execution, Ming Ri Hao and others were discussing how to plan the next step, suddenly, a sound rang out from a far-away direction. Like a clear spring of the soul, it instantly sent the people a wave of serenity. The hearts of the people have been cleansed again, calming the turbid tremors of everyone’s hearts.

The Bull Brothers who were eating and drinking immediately jumped up, “Liberty Queen!”
