Chapter 1110: Widespread Grievance

Proofreader: Papatonks

[What the hell?]

Rooted to the spot, the men had glazed looks of confusion at the unbelievable things they were hearing.

They were so close to breaking this impossibly tough bone, and they just want them to stop?

Even Invincible Sword’s group was left speechless. 

[What in heaven’s name is going on? What are the four lands planning this time?]

Whoosh~

A man in white landed, the venerable in charge of the wave, and walked towards Invincible Sword with a bow, “Sir Baili and Sword Kings, please follow me. Your people are here to take you.”

[Our people?]

Flinching, the six looked at each other baffled. But since they were like lambs to the slaughter, what more could they do to them?

They ignored the strangeness of the invitation and the possible trap, with Baili Yutian coughing blood a couple more times and some Sword Kings lending their arm, they all stumbled forward.

“Why? Just why let them go?”

A howl of indignation and fury broke the sky and a figure in gray shot for Baili Yutian with a savage punch, “My brothers died at their hands. We suffered so many losses, got them ready to reap, so why the hell won’t you let us take their lives? I’ll have my revenge for my brothers! Die, Invincible Sword!”

Bang!

He hardly made any progress towards Invincible Sword as an energy wave flashed past and left him in bloody pieces.

The elder in white flicked his Yuan Qi charged fingers, smirking in disdain at the rest, “Have I not made myself clear? The leaders of the four lands have decreed to let Invincible Sword leave. Any violation means execution!”

The men shuddered and lowered their heads in anger and hatred.

They knew not what got those higher-up to lose their heads and come here right when they were about to succeed only to stop them. Had the tens of millions before died for nothing? 

Ignoring these bugs who were unable to control their fate, Baili Yutian walked away with the old man.

They soon reached a thicket.

Ling Yuntian’s group was waiting, along with a friendly face, Baili Jingwei.

“Jingwei, what’s going on here? Can you explain it to me?” Baili Yutian was gravely wounded but still had the demeanor of a king.

Baili Jingwei cupped his hands as he bowed, “Patriarch, we made peace!”

“Oh, I see.”

Baili Yutian sighed, looking at the hovering image behind him, “Is that a teleportation array? It’s quite subtle and compact. I wager it can only take a couple people at once. Is it your handiwork?” 

“Yes, Patriarch, to be on the safe side, I built it after coming to northern lands.”

“Good, let’s go.”

Baili Yutian walked straight for the portal, uncaring about the situation. the others followed. Ling Yuntian smiled and stepped forward, “Sir, both sides have suffered in this war and are heavily wounded. I hope there won’t be any conflicts in the future…”

Baili Yutian never once spared him a glance, going through the portal at his own pace.

Ling Yuntian’s face twitched, put on the spot.

“Humph, you’re not even fit to talk to Patriarch, not when you cower away from the fight, geezer!” Bali Yuyu huffed and followed through.

The Sword Kings echoed her disdain, going through the portal, including crown prince Baili Jingtian.

Baili Jingwei smiled, bowing with respect at Ling Yuntian, yet his smile felt flat, “Sect Leader Ling, this is just how Patriarch and Sword Kings are. I offer my apology on their behalf…”

“It’s fine. I just hope Prime Minister…”

“Of course, for the next century, we’ll be at peace, ha-ha-ha. Farewell!” Baili Jingwei smirked as he passed through as well.

His mask of kindness fell right as he vanished, revealing the naked scorn beneath.

Hum~

With all gone, Ling Yuntian’s group remained. He was looking tense and heavy.

Feeling his pain, Bu Xingyun laughed, sucking up, “Invincible Sword’s arrogance is common knowledge. It must be hard for Sect Leader Ling to suffer such humiliation yet save the four lands’ foundation.”

“Search everything!”

Ling Yuntian roared, “Why could Baili Jingwei teleport to the heart of northern lands from the frontlines? And what is this secret teleportation array doing here? Why could he enter our Sea Bright Sect like there was no one to stop him? Zhuo Fan was right. Northern lands has a traitor, and of great status as well. This is the only possible answer for a central area to have such a hidden door!” 

Bu Xingyun nodded, “Yes, we must investigate! Sect Leader Ling, leave this to me. I will definitely get to the bottom of this!”

Ling Yuntian nodded and sighed.

[Just who is this traitor?]

In Baili Yutian’s camp, Baili Yutian and his group appeared through the portal, with Baili Jingwei in the rear.

Invincible Sword and the five Sword Kings felt ages since they saw the familiar faces and mood. 

They were finally back in their own domain, to safety. Sword Kings were anxious to go to the security of their hope, especially after suffering through millions of men coming at them relentlessly.

“Prime Minister Jingwei, thank you.”

Crown Prince Baili Jingtian spoke earnestly, “We’re alive all thanks to your timely intervention. But how did Prime Minister convince them to accept a ceasefire so willingly?”

“It’s simple, because they had us by the short hairs.” 

Baili Jingwei shook his head and revealed a jade slip, “The imperial capital reports that the Sword Star Empire now has over a thousand cities that have fallen. Once news of Patriarch’s wounds spread, the four Sword Star Empire won’t sit still. We are beset by conflict from every side and have lost the strength to fight this war. Of course we’d be happy to go home in peace.”

“How did it come to this? For even the empire’s core…” Everyone cried out.

Baili Jingwei nodded, “Yes, Zhuo Fan has made us suffer the worst. We’ll likely need decades to settle.”

“That guy again? How did he manage to get our empire…” Baili Jingtian and the Sword Kings gasped.

Baili Jingwei had a bitter smile, “It is all my fault, Patriarch. The guy had beaten me completely in strategy. It might come as a shock to know that he was appointed as the commander of the four lands, the Grand Marshal…”

Baili Jingwei began telling everything that had happened. The audience was just too out of it to react. They knew Zhuo Fan to be some mystery sect’s disciple, but to think he also held control over the boar, with the five lands dancing to his tune. 

He bested Patriarch and outclassed Prime Minister. Just who was this godlike talent? 

[In short, I only managed to get those geezers to relent because that punk is missing. I fear that not even my presence would’ve swayed them otherwise and I’d have only suffered by going there. That guy is the greatest opponent in my entire life.”

Fear lingering in his eyes, Baili Yuyun was grave. The others sighed, with Baili Yuyun saying, “Prime Minister, you can relax now. He’s no longer a threat to you.”

“Wha-” Baili Jingwei began.

“His corpse got eaten by the sea demon. Who cares how great he was in life? Ha-ha-ha…”

Baili Yuyun narrated their side of the events this time. Baili Jingwei listened with a dumb look.

His eyes then landed on Baili Jingtian’s missing hand and cried, “Curses, is this guy our bane? All of Baili, from young to old, from refined to martial, got smacked around. But in the end he got done over by some mystery sea demon? How are we then to exact revenge?” 

“The one opponent we acknowledge is gone like that. Who are we to fight now? Go take it out on Ling Yuntian and those fools? Are they worth the bother?” 

Baili Yutian frowned hard, his features twisted in anger, his eyes bloodshot.

Blood spurted high and his eyes went black, knocked out. Yet he still had the mind to mutter, “Zhuo Fan, your life… is mine…”
