Chapter 1284: Chapter 981: Sword Hanging Overhead (Part 2)

Now he could be considered to be putting what he learned to use.

It seemed to be quite effective, at least the Source Fluctuation from the envoy was quite intriguing—visibly oscillating between ’this might really be severe’ and ’are you freaking kidding me?’

Such cycles continued until departure.

"If that’s the case, I will definitely submit a detailed report when I return." The envoy from Deer’s Sing Hall bid farewell respectfully: "I trust there will be progress in the upcoming bilateral talks soon..."

And after the door closed, Huai Shi’s smile gradually faded, turning solemn.

Honestly, there was a moment he was almost startled...

[General].

The Former Emperor intends to use this battle among the realms to select the supreme leader of the Wu Family in Yingzhou.

——The position of The Great Lord of Yingzhou!

Even going so far as to imply tacitly that if the Owner of Tanbo were willing to deepen relations with Yingzhou, the general position would be easily accessible.

It’s fortunate that Emperor can offer such a thing...

Should it be called ambition or arrogance? Did he immediately feel loneliness after sending off that American, desiring someone to accompany him beside the bed?

Huai Shi couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.

Now the Former Emperor in Yingzhou has already taken absolute initiative internally, and after initiating The Confluence of Gods and Buddhas adjustment, he is already the complete Owner of the Genealogy.

The title of general is already meaningless. It’s just a title that sounds cool, akin to the outer family during the Dongxia Han Dynasty, some Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher, and the Earl of Glamorgan; no different.

Glorious for a moment, buried with grandeur for a lifetime.

Why choose the ones constantly fighting in those corners over Dreamland?

What Huai Shi is more puzzled about is, what does the Yingzhou Phylogeny truly want?

To even risk such a chip like general.

Would they want it themselves after offering it?

Huai Shi has long been deeply aware of the foolishness of Deer’s Sing Hall—but simultaneously, he knows exceptionally well that behind this ’foolishness,’ there is calculated cunning.

As long as they can uphold their own interests, those folks can do anything, not minding to play fools once or twice.

So, do they think he will be swayed?

No, anyone who understands Huai Shi wouldn’t think of luring him with power, would they?

Moreover, anyone with clear eyes can see that Huai Shi is the nailed-on heir of Luo Su; if the Heavenly Kingdom Genealogy is rebuilt, then he is inevitably the future Owner of the Genealogy.

Can he even care about a powerless and substantial general position?

Or is this just another test, with the general position merely their smokescreen?

"This bunch is really annoying..."

Huai Shi yawned, too lazy to think.

Go home and sleep!

.

.

Three hours later, late at night, Kyoto·Deer’s Sing Hall.

The sprawling estate located outside the city is the power agency controlling the entire Yingzhou Sublimators.

In the atmosphere shrouded in solemnity year-round, the door opened and the returning envoy hurried upstairs, throwing his outer clothes to the attendant before entering the deep and elegant Japanese-style room.

"Is Miyoshi back?"

Presiding over the meeting was Nanbu Tadakuni, who had recently assumed the position of Kyoto Sojido. The elderly man sitting at the top raised his eyes and asked, "How did it go? Did the King of Tanbo respond?"

The envoy shook his head and reported in detail.

During the brief silence, Naito, who was smoking a pipe next to him, slowly shook his head: "Didn’t he show any interest? Though young, his actions were overly prudent and conservative, completely unlike the style he has been displaying all along... truly baffling."

"Could this be an act too?" someone asked.

"Acting or essence doesn’t matter; people are always changeable. As long as results can be achieved, it’s enough." Nanbu Tadakuni said, "Ideally, the Former Emperor doesn’t want to be at odds with Tanbo; if Huai Shi could succeed the general position, it might not be a bad thing."

"An outsider?"

"Wasn’t the previous general also an outsider?" Nanbu calmly retorted: "Replacing one outsider may not be worse. Only, they may not value it."

"Lord Nanbu, why belittle yourself?" An elder attendee frowned: "Keep in mind, this place is ultimately Yingzhou."

Nanbu didn’t reply.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly said: "Handle that matter cleanly, don’t leave any traces."

"Please rest assured, Lord Nanbu. That Transmutation Whale is absolutely naturally formed, rushed there by the Wilderness Guard from the Dragon Triangle... no matter how much it is checked, it would merely be considered accidental at most."

The reporter paused briefly, smiling wryly: "However, what was probed out is truly astounding."

The atmosphere inside the room suddenly froze.

Everyone’s expressions turned serious, even through projection, one could sense that chilling aura causing hair to stand.

That thunderous might... 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

For someone like Huai Shi, decisively eliminating a Transmutation Whale, such corpse-like erosion species, wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

But only the span and distance made everyone present feel bone-chilling unease.

Under the probing gaze, the entire process didn’t escape their eyes, and before long, detailed reports arrived before them.

What was brought was a horrifying inference.

Actually, once you penetrate that seemingly daunting shell, its principle is surprisingly simple.

It merely utilized the Crow Flock as relay stations along the way, every few kilometers, forming one electric station after another, transmitting this power like current until it reached the end of the chain.

When Huai Shi personally nurtured Crow Flock to transmit his Source Substance, it had no burden, and divine nature transformation drastically reduced the rate of depletion.

Ultimately, when the Source Materialized Spear of Compassion unfolded again, this brutal power descended from the sky onto the sea, thousands of miles away from Tanbo.

It’s as simple as sending a compressed package through a P2P transmission channel.

Yet such a simple operation, except for Huai Shi, no one else could accomplish. Besides him, no one else possesses such weaponry capable of transforming between Source Substance and material at will.

Using the flock as the extension of Sky’s Command and miracle, it is undoubtedly the Domain of the Great Priestess. And the pervasive power of storms, rain, and thunder, within the reach of this Sky’s Command, belongs to the authority of the Cloud Monarch!

Even though Huai Shi hasn’t reached the Fourth Stage, his divine nature transformation has already led him to explore and gradually master the powers of both the Great Priestess and the Cloud Monarch...

And he attempts to combine them into one!

Wherever Crow Flock is, Huai Shi can rely on the positioning and relay of the flock to deliver a Thunder Strike anytime.

When the interference scope of the Great Priestess and the terrifying execution efficiency of the Cloud Monarch combine, what emerges is such a monster capable of ultra-wide-range attacks at any time!

Just now, that strike was merely a small trial with a prominent knife. According to the descriptions and testimonies by the envoy Miyoshi at the scene, Huai Shi barely showed any signs of strain from beginning to end.

Simply pushing open the window while speaking, then, as if tossing a cigarette butt downstairs, casually threw out his weapon.

Thus, the iron light of destruction descended thousands of miles away.

That vast crow tide is the extension of his limbs, and under the iron wings, the earth is within reach.

Under the probing gaze, they even clearly caught each change of the entire process: The Spear of Compassion, post divine nature transformation, soared in the night sky as radiant light, flying straight forward, continuously jumping and transiting between the nodes formed by Iron Crow, ultimately leaping jaw-dropping distances and delivering this fury onto the sea above without any depletion.

Absolute kill!

The more terrifying aspect is, no one knows if this is his limit.

This power used to guard the Current Circumstances is indeed reassuring.

But if... he had some other thoughts?

Even if he were just sitting still in Tanbo, yet if Huai Shi wished... even the Imperial Palace would fall under his shadow!

Just imagining this, everyone present couldn’t help but feel suffocated.

Feeling the invisible sword blade hanging high over their heads.

"Truly unsettling."

Nanbu lowered his gaze, overlooking the cup of cooled tea, silently sighing: "This potential... given time, might even be more dreadful than the Ghost Duke before."

No one spoke further.
