Chapter 892: Fatalism

Chapter 892: Fatalism

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As everyone went down the mountain, Ren Baqian received some attention.

It was probably the first time that the crowd focused on him rather than the empress.

This was regardless of whether it was the officials of the imperial court, the students of the academy, or the winged cavalry.

Many of them looked at Ren Baqian in awe!

As if they were looking at the empress!

He finally saw that kind of reverent look in their eyes. In all honesty, it felt pretty good!

After all, he had been viewed as a gigolo for so long…

Even a gigolo had dignity!

“Your Majesty, seal off this place and don’t let anyone enter. We must pay attention to the situation here at all times, and there must be multiple groups of personnel patrolling daily. They must wear protective clothing and must not stay in the area overnight! This entire area is about 50 kilometers!” Ren Baqian whispered to the empress’s ears.

“So cautious? What’s going to happen?” she asked.

“It’s not good… Radiation is harmful to the human body, so we can’t simply launch nuclear bombs whenever we want. The entire area will become uninhabitable. In addition, it may cause mutations in animals and plants. Hopefully, there won’t be any adverse effects,” he explained.

Anyone from Earth would know about the threatening effects of radiation.

“Everyone, let’s wait here for a day,” Ren Baqian turned around and said to the crowd.

They hadn’t made their decisions yet since they still needed to go take a look at the underground palace.

However, they also couldn’t get off this pirate ship. (TLC. Not sure about this term. Maybe add a footnote? It appears in the next chapter as well.)

There were some things that one couldn’t back out of after hearing.

As such, Ren Baqian directly launched two nuclear bombs and was preparing to launch one more to give them the misconception that these bombs were conventional weapons.

If they didn’t want him to launch the fourth one at them…

Of course, everyone understood that they were feeling very conflicted right now.

“Don’t think too much. Our goal is for everyone to unite and fight against the foreign races. Other than that, it has little effect on you.” Ren Baqian always spoke with a smile, and it was almost an iconic expression for him. It was the same at this moment as well.

Everyone nodded. Some of them stayed while some moved into the distance.

Before heading to Lan City, they still had to explain to their disciples and attendants from afar.

“Zhao Prince Consort, I have something to ask.” Ren Baqian heard a voice after dinner.

He turned around and saw Li Yuanzhu standing in the dark.

He nodded at the empress and walked over to Li Yuanzhu, asking, “What’s the matter?”

She looked into the distance and said, “Su Xianxian. How are you going to deal with him?”

Ren Baqian turned to look at the side of her face. She had a spiritual aura.

The empress always seemed to be looking down at all beings from the top of an iceberg, but Li Yuanzhu was easy-going and treated everyone with compassion.

The two had completely different personalities and temperaments, but they both felt very similar to him.

Ren Baqian knew some things about Li Yuanzhu. She had attained the Spirit Wheel level at the age of 17, obtained a Heaven-grade weapon at 21, and became the third most powerful expert in the world at 23. She was currently 29, two years older than the empress.

After she became a Spirit Wheel expert, she fought a total of 42 times, but had never killed anyone.

She also rarely injured people.

Ren Baqian fell silent for a moment, then said, “He chose the wrong path.”

He didn’t pay much attention to this person in the past. What happened in the mountains actually surprised him quite a bit.

However, there were countless types of human personalities, and it was the same for experts as well.

Su Xianxian seemed pretty hostile to Dayao and very contemptuous toward Ren Baqian. After realizing that it was Ren Baqian who had invited everyone over, Su Xianxian immediately made sarcastic remarks and left.

If Ren Baqian could let someone like him off, then what about the other experts?

His mind turned into flowing water.

No matter which angle he looked at it from, he must never let this person off.

“Luohua Sect isn’t a big sect. Including all the disciples and helpers, they only have a total of about 300 people. Su Xianxian did wrong, but not the others.” Li Yuanzhu turned her head, looked at Ren Baqian calmly, and asked, “Can you let those people live?”

Ren Baqian suddenly felt like laughing.

In fact, he felt very good about her. Moreover, he still owed her a favor from years back.

Besides, Li Yuanzhu didn’t say that he had to let Su Xianxian off. She simply pleaded for the others.

However, at a time like this, he wouldn’t hesitate if taking hundreds or thousands of lives could intimidate all the experts and make them recognize the facts.

“Not unless I see Su Xianxian’s head!” Ren Baqian replied resolutely.

“I’ll go!” Li Yuanzhu responded, startling him.

“You?” He was surprised.

Ever since she gained her reputation, she had never killed anyone.

Yet, she actually said that she was going to take Su Xianxian’s head?

“As you said, Su Xianxian chose the wrong path. I know what you want, and I understand that you can’t go easy on him. However, if taking his life can save the others, then he shall die!” Li Yuanzhu’s voice had an inexplicable feel to it.

It sounded compassionate and lamenting, among various other things.

According to Ren Baqian’s plans, he would simply launch a nuclear warhead at Su Xianxian. Then, the other experts would know the correct path to take.

However, since Li Yuanzhu said this, he couldn’t oppose it.

After all, she was the third most powerful expert in the world.

Out of all these experts, Li Yuanzhu and the empress had the greatest potential.

Besides, her setting out to kill someone would also serve as considerable intimidation.

The most important point was that her choice had already explained her attitude. She had been exposed to this history only half a month before the others, but this easy-going and spiritual person came to a decision before Li Fu.

Although this decision made Ren Baqian very pleased, it was also unexpected. After all, she had previously decided to go to the Sixty Thousand Mountains to see the foreign races with her own eyes, but he simply didn’t expect her to make this decision so soon.

It was so quick that he felt it was abrupt.

“The deadline shall be in six months!” he said.

“I’ll do my best!” Li Yuanzhu’s Daoist robes fluttered in the night wind.

Ren Baqian slowly walked away with his hands behind his back and departed with a sentence, saying, “It’s a pity to dirty your hands!”

She then stretched out her hands and looked at them.

“Dirty… my hands?”

Her palms were fair while her fingers were long and slender. Her entire hand was silky smooth.

“Have you decided, Senior?” A person appeared behind Li Yuanzhu and stared at her back.

“Yes!” she replied faintly.

“Isn’t it too soon?”

“Li Fu, Lin Dong, and Blood River Demon. Those people could not have lied about it. The scene I saw in the underground palace keeps appearing in my mind these days. Remember what I said before? I saw the bloody struggle of my ancestors.

There’s a voice deep within that tells me this is the path I should take—that this is my fate! Me, Qi Zixiao, and Ren Baqian were born for this! So why procrastinate?” Li Yuanzhu explained with constraint.

It was rare to see Ning Qing not blabbering on. She was just worried.

What Li Yuanzhu didn’t tell anyone was… she saw someone in that scene… who looked just like her!

At that moment, she seemed to have seen her past life.
