Chapter 752: War Is About To Begin

Chapter 753: War Is About To Begin

Touching his bag, his eyes were filled with hesitation and also frustration.

There were close to 10,000 miles from the Imperial Capital to the nearest port. When he reached there, he might not be able to bump into a cloud ship from Donglin Cloud Continent.

Not only would it use up a huge portion of his funds, but the journey was also extremely dangerous.

It was said that Great Shang was really chaotic and that there were a few Aristocratic Families prepared to revolt…

He shook his head and tossed these thoughts out of his mind.

He continued to walk home, hesitating a little before he bought two meat buns.

Who knows what he would do in the future? How was he going to earn money? His Mother hadn’t eaten meat in several months. For a sick person to survive on porridge, how could she take it?

However, his Mother would probably scold him for this.

He shook his head and laughed helplessly. In just a moment, he entered an extremely dirty and smelly alley.

He was in a daze, relying on his muscle memory to walk toward his home.

When he walked to the door, he was startled.

There was a well-dressed teen standing there.

He was around seven to eight years older than him. Who knows what material his clothing was made of, but it looked really bright. He looked even more rich and noble than the Young Masters from the residence that hired him.

His face was also squarish with a wide smile on it. It was bright like a sun with a bit of devilishness to it.

He sized up Shi’er and then a surprised look appeared in his eyes.

“Are you Shi’er? Do you live here!”

“This is my home!”

Shi’er was totally confused and didn’t know what was going on, “My surname is Shi. For what matter is Sir looking for me?”

He looked into the room. Shi’er’s pupils constricted, the meat bun in his hand fell to the ground.

He saw a woman lying face down, not moving or making a sound at all!

It was his Mother…

His only loved one in the world, who raised him up, both of them relied on one another!

It was like a thunder had struck in his mind as he was at a total loss. She was doing fine in the morning, but after just a half a day, she was gone?

He felt two warm streaks flow down his face. He wiped with his hands and noticed that before he was overwhelmed with sadness, his face was already covered in tears.

He expected that his Mother couldn’t survive the winter, but he didn’t expect her to be gone so quickly.

He shouldn’t have gone to school today! Maybe if he returned early, he could have seen his Mother.

He didn’t worry about the noble Young Master. He walked in and knelt down beside the bed in a total daze. He was stunned as he looked at his Mother’s face, silently crying.

All men would cry when they were sad.

The richly dressed teen sighed and walked behind Shi’er. After a long while, roughly five minutes later when Shi’er calmed down, he spoke.

“I am Shiyue, you can call me Uncle!”

“Shiyue? Uncle?”

He rose his brow in surprise as he turned around. He thought about something, “You are from the Imperial Capital Shi Family?”

Although he was using an inquisitive tone, but his gaze had already confirmed it. His tone was filled with an intent to avoid and distant himself.

“What a smart kid!”

Shiyue smiled, “Yes, the Shi family. Your father is Shitao and is my Elder Brother!”

He reached out his hand and touched Shi’er’s head, only to see the teen subconsciously avoid it. Shiyue was startled and then began laughing, “Don’t blame your father. Your Mother’s matter happened for a reason! I knew you were here because your Mother contacted us today.”

Shi’er kept silent and didn’t say a word.

Shiyue’s brow furrowed and then he calmly explained, “Elder Brother loved your Mother too deeply in the past. Unfortunately, your Mother came from Jingyin Sect, which was one of the Three Sects and Six Schools of Common People’s Path. She was not careful and others found out about her identity. Your Mother wasn’t willing to drag him down and left. Forget it, you won’t be able to understand even if I told you!”

Shaking his head, Shiyue once again rubbed his head. This time, the teen didn’t dodge.

“Anyway, Shi’er you just need to know that your Father didn’t let down your Mother and he had no choice! You have no one left and you can’t be left alone. Since your Mother handed you over to me, then whether you are willing or not, I am not going to see our bloodline wander outside! From now on, you are a member of the Shi Family, my nephew!”

His tone was really firm, there was no room to object.

Shi’er thought about it for a moment and didn’t reply. He turned around and looked toward his Mother’s body.

“Let’s talk after I bury Mother!”

His heart turned cold like there was no one behind him at all. He didn’t even have enough money to bury her.

Shiyue smiled emotionally when he saw that. His nephew was really filial and likeable.

However, what were his cultivation talents like? The Shi Family led the military for many generations and all of them did martial cultivation.

Since Shi’er joined them, then he couldn’t be an exception.

A thread of energy reached in. It flowed through his limbs and bones and in just a moment, he had a weird expression on his face.

This is Combat Martial Body? Xuan Spirit Treasure Body?

“Shi’er, you are ranked second in our Shi Family third generation. However, you can’t use this name. I will go over my ancestors and take matters into my own hands. You will be called Shi Wuji…”

Shi’er’s body jolted and then he nodded his head.

Actually, Shi’er didn’t mention that he wasn’t planning to use the name Shi’er anymore. He liked the name Shi Wuji!

※※※※

Just 7 days later, 700 miles away from the Imperial Capital.

In a greenish mountain range, a single tomb made out of Dali Stone.

A Soul Calling Banner danced, smoke bellowed.

Shi Wuji solemnly knelt in front of the tomb while Shiyue stood to the side with his hands by his side.

“The seventh day has passed! Originally, the rules state that one needs to mourn for a year, but Uncle has an important matter and can’t wait for you. Even your Mother wouldn’t want you to waste time in front of her tomb. What are you prepared to do? Are you going to leave with uncle?”

Shi Wuji frowned and didn’t reply, only looking to the side with a weird expression.

Thinking to himself, did he have a choice?

Shiyue broke into a smile, “That’s true. No matter whether you agree or not, I will still bring you away.”

The moment he said this, he had already flew into the air. A True Qi forcefully dragged Shi Wuji into the air toward the east.

They travelled swiftly and instantly covered 100 miles. He was totally confused and he couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t we returning to the Shi Family?”

The Imperial Capital Shi Family should be in the west!

“You aren’t going back today! Let’s talk about that in the future!”

Shiyue shook his head and then his gaze focused on the east, “Wuji, have you heard about Zong Shou?”

Shi Wuji thought about it and nodded his head slightly, “I have! I heard he is the top expert in the Sword Path, Owner of Donglin, Blood Sword Monster Lord!”

The name of the Blood Sword Monster Lord was something of interest to all Cultivators, so who wouldn’t have heard of it before?

This person is the Ruler of a country, his sword was extremely strong and was totally unrivalled.

A month ago, there were dozens of famous sects who offended him and he wiped them out with just a sword.

It was said that during those few days, blood flowed into a river and millions were killed. He was more cruel than a demon.

The old man from the school said that he was mad, betraying the scriptures and going against the path.

However, there were also people who praised him for being a rare great Ruler, intelligent and strategic.

Speaking of which, if not for Shiyue forcefully dragging him away, he would have most probably headed to Gantian Mountain to see if he could obtain cultivation methods. He would also join the Monster King…

If he could cultivate martial arts and get famous, he wouldn’t care if Zong Shou was a demon or a great Ruler.

His heart sunk. Not going back to the Shi Family, what did that mean?

“This person is not the top in the world, he is unrivalled in the world!”

Shiyue shook his head and corrected him. His eyes were filled with a burning passion.

“Wuji, have you heard about Xiangchu Overlord and Ranwu King? This Blood Sword Monster Lord is the only one who could compete with the few of them in these thousands of years!”

Shi Wuji had heard the few old men talk about history. Naturally, he knew about the two who were heroes and once reigned supreme.

However, he still didn’t understand what the difference was between ‘unrivalled’ and ‘top in the world’.

His mind worked frantically as he temporarily suppressed the doubts in his mind.

“Why do you talk about this person? Do you have a relationship with him? Do you want to visit him?”

He was still unwilling to call him Uncle. He felt both shy and not willing to do so.

“I have no relationship with him, but I owe him what! The Monster King’s personality and actions really makes one convinced. Unfortunately, he is destined to be the enemy of our Shi Family!”

Shiyue laughed, “I am going east to use my fists to fight him once more! I also want to return his favour. I heard that he is about to face his tribulation and a few days ago he built a 9,000-foot platform using millions of men in just a month. It seems like his tribulation date is close! Gantian Mountain most probably has many heroes gathering, demons spreading all over. We definitely can’t miss such action…”

Tribulation?

Shi Wuji’s heart moved. He had heard that once one cultivated to Grade-9, one would face tribulation.

If one successfully survived, then one would become a Celestial and would be forced to leave the Cloud World.

Is Gantian Mountain Monster King prepared to rise? Then, what would happen to Gantian Mountain?

Shiyue smiled and asked, “When he faces his tribulation, there will be a huge battle. Are you willing to follow me to see his greatness?”

Shi Wuji thought about it for a moment and then he nodded his head.

He had no choice now and he did want to see the strongest person in the world…

At this moment, they didn’t know that while Shiyue brought Shi Wuji to leave, a person flashed in front of the tomb. It was a 40-year-old Taoist who looked on as they left, with a smile on his face.
