Chapter 2164 - 2157: Here to Mourn the Dead

Zhang Menglong observed the flames burning on the Giant Ruler, what could this move be if not the "Flame Splitting Tsunami"?

He could confirm with absolute certainty that no one else could have possibly come into contact with this earth-grade Combat Skill, unless they had once ventured into the world of Battle Through the Heavens.

However, that is practically impossible, so the only possibility is that he had once encountered one of his own ancestors who then taught him this move.

"What a terrifying Transcendence Technique?" In the distance, Lanyu and the King of Tremor Mountain were dumbfounded, they almost felt the surrounding forces of heaven and earth being mobilized, the energy around the Grand Emperor’s body seemed as tumultuous as a tornado.

"This move cannot be blocked by a true seventh-grade Transcender!" Excitement filled the King of Tremor Mountain’s eyes, the Duke of Mansha Kingdom had been so arrogant, now finally he was going to be subdued, he definitely cannot withstand such a powerful Transcendence Technique!

The elder’s arm muscles bulged as the Giant Ruler slashed down toward Zhang Menglong, a terrifying energy surged viciously toward Zhang Menglong, even the colors of heaven and earth changed noticeably.

"Old man, you’re still not very skilled at using this move!" In Zhang Menglong’s hand, another Giant Ruler appeared; it was Xiao Yan’s exclusive Xuan Heavy Ruler, a powerful martial art combined with complementary equipment indeed had some added power!

"How...how is this possible?"

Seeing Zhang Menglong raise the Xuan Heavy Ruler, the elder’s pupils seemed to quake, "How could you use the Flame Splitting Tsunami?"

The elder could even feel that when Zhang Menglong used this move, the flow of energy within his body was smoother, and the execution was even more adept.

"Flame Splitting Tsunami!" Zhang Menglong also slashed out with the ruler.

However, the elder’s Flame Splitting Tsunami was merely ordinary flames converted from energy, whereas Zhang Menglong used Strange Fire! There was a huge intensity gap between the two, the elder’s move instantly crumbled under Zhang Menglong’s slash, as he could only hastily raise his heavy ruler to block.

"Boom!" Zhang Menglong’s power poured onto the elder’s heavy ruler, fine cracks appeared instantly on the ruler, spreading continuously, and soon covered the entire ruler.

"Crack!"

With continuous impact of power, the heavy ruler suddenly shattered into countless fragments, and the elder’s body was abruptly sent flying.

"Grandpa Emperor!"

"Uncle!"

Lanyu and the King of Tremor Mountain hastily supported the elder, blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, his palm was also dripping with blood, it was clear he was injured!

They looked at Zhang Menglong with eyes filled with trepidation, he could actually use the exact same Transcendence Technique, and the power displayed was even greater than that of the Grand Emperor, he nearly defeated a seventh-grade Transcender with the strength of a First Grade Transcender, what kind of monster is this?

"I’m fine," the elder waved his hand, "Thank you, young friend, for showing mercy."

The elder could feel Zhang Menglong holding back a bit at the last moment, otherwise, he couldn’t have suffered just this minor injury.

"You’re not bad, not like your nephew who kills indiscriminately," Zhang Menglong retracted the Xuan Heavy Ruler, "Besides, you should have some ties with my ancestors, for his sake, I won’t hurt you."

"Indeed!"

Although a long time had passed, and he only had less than three days of contact with that senior, the appearance of that senior was deeply etched in his memory.

Just now, he felt Zhang Menglong’s appearance was somewhat familiar, until Zhang Menglong used the Flame Splitting Tsunami, he could practically guess the relationship between them.

"Young man, although you are related to my mentor, this is still the land of my Qinglan Kingdom, where my people reside. I can’t stand by and watch you destroy this land completely."

"But I also can’t stand by and watch you kill my nephew."

The elder sighed, "How about this, use my life as a trade for those three hundred million lives? Although I know this is meaningless, but..."

"Ah, alright alright," Zhang Menglong felt a bit soft-hearted hearing how this old man who was already so advanced in years said such things.

Besides, he was his ancestor’s disciple, so he had to show some respect.

"I can stop destroying the city, and I won’t kill him," Zhang Menglong said, "But I absolutely won’t let the people of Mansha Kingdom have died in vain, I want him to take full responsibility for rebuilding the city, and apologize to all the people of Mansha Kingdom."

"Furthermore, he must build a memorial to the deceased in that city, and needs to kneel and repent at the memorial for a hundred years, without leaving!"

"A hundred years?" The King of Tremor Mountain was extremely unwilling, asking him to repent for a bunch of commoners for a hundred years, he might as well be dead.

"Do you have a problem?" The elder directly gave the King of Tremor Mountain a look that allowed no refusal, "If the Duke is willing to spare your life, that is already a great blessing, if you’re unwilling, I will personally break your legs and feet, ruin your cultivation, then send you over!"

"Yes, I understand," the King of Tremor Mountain saw that the situation had taken a downturn, now there was no one left to help him, even the Grand Emperor had lost, what else could he do?

And given the unclear relationship between the Grand Emperor and this young man, he probably wouldn’t side with him.

"Heal your injuries," Zhang Menglong threw an elixir to the elder.

"This elixir is quite high grade!" The elder sniffed it, realizing that the two Alchemists in Qinglan Kingdom couldn’t produce elixirs of such quality, and even in the academy he once attended, he wasn’t eligible to consume such a good elixir.

He still remembered the best elixir he had consumed in his lifetime was given by that senior years ago, further affirming the relationship between that senior and Zhang Menglong.

"Alright, I won’t handle anything further," Zhang Menglong said, "Three days later, I want to see him mourning at the Mansha Kingdom’s palace gates."

"Did you hear clearly?" the elder looked at the King of Tremor Mountain.

The latter shivered, saying in a voice almost only audible to himself, "Understood."

"Always causing trouble for me!" The elder was quite helpless, then turned to look at Lanyu, "In future, strictly manage the people of the Royal Family, this time we were fortunate, seeing it as a favor to me we can overlook it, but if you encounter someone formidable in the future, things won’t be so accommodating."

"Yes, Grandpa Emperor, I’ll definitely be careful in the future."

"As for the Mansha Empire, other than what the Duke just mentioned, I needn’t say more, right?"

Lanyu certainly understood the implications in the Grand Emperor’s words, this was to urge him to quickly make gestures to ease the atmosphere between the two countries.

Even if the Mansha Kingdom was just a subordinate state, but their Prince was Zhang Menglong, the status of the whole country was different.

Zhang Menglong didn’t linger in Qinglan Kingdom, he returned directly.

The Mansha Kingdom also seemed relatively calm these two days, the city’s rebuilding work had resumed, and for some reason, no one questioned what Zhang Menglong did that day.

Until the morning of the third day, suddenly someone came with news.

"Your Majesty, the King of Tremor Mountain from Qinglan Kingdom is here!"

The Emperor instinctively jolted, what, could it be that the Duke and they didn’t negotiate well, now they’ve come back to cause trouble?

Indeed, there is still too much disparity in their foundations.

"King of Tremor Mountain, take Shadeer and leave the palace, I will buy you time!"

"Don’t panic, your Majesty," Zhang Menglong laughed, "The King of Tremor Mountain is here to mourn, aren’t you going to welcome him?"
