Weapon seller in the world of magic

Chapter 578: A summon from Mark (part-2)



As Lan Jing apologized and sat back, Sylvandria continued, "Secondly, I (Lu Zhen) am going to resurrect the Lan Sect. Over the past few months, many techniques were compiled into a book by Mother (Lan Jingyi) and Fu Sheng (Eol). I want you to become a temporary elder of the sect and gather prospective disciples in whatever way you can. I also need you to announce to the world that the betrayers will be forgiven if they return to Mt. Ku and help you in the revival of the sect. That is my condition to help you back into the clan."

The first part of the message made it seem like he could fly to heaven but the second part of the message put a mountain on his head, increasing the burden.

As a result, Lan Jing became silent, going into deep thinking. He knew how difficult the task was. Lan Jingyi hates him very much to work with him. Fu Sheng, another disciple from the clan, was the army commander who had to take care of the Alliance's security. He won't have time to work with him either.

Lu Zhen (Mark) might be the grandson of his brother but he doesn't know a thing about Lan Clan's techniques and Lan Jing highly doubt whether his grand nephew would even be willing to learn them as he had gotten strong enough to even kill demigods. Discover exclusive tales at m,v--NovelBin.net

Hence, he had to do it alone.

As for the betrayers, the ones he knew were all respected figures at different sects and scattered all over the world. He was sure that they wouldn't return and it wouldn't be easier for him to track them down too. While the task only said that he had to announce, it was also indirectly asking him to bring them to the sect, even if he had to use violence.

Adding on top of that, he also had to take care of Eastern Sun. He had to make sure the Ouyang Dynasty would stay secure even after he was gone.

There's too much work and it made him wonder whether it is worth returning home, where he might not be welcomed by his clansmen even after being forgiven.

Leaving Lan Jing in dilemma, Sylvandria then turned her attention to the young king, who was still pondering on how to deal with the consequences, "King Ouyang, the message for you is not that complicated. You have to depart from this place right away with me and reach Lunaris City by morning. Lu Zhen is going to announce something big and he needs all the members of United Celestial Dominion must attend it."

"Eh?" "Huh?"

Her message was probably also shocking enough for Lan Jing that it brought him out of his thinking about his own headache and focus on it. "Right away? What is it that Xiao Zhen wants to announce?" he couldn't help but ask.

Ouyang Zen also expectedly looked at the elf.

But, both of them only received disappointment.

Sylvandria shook her head, "I'm not aware. But, based on the events that transpired lately, I believe it could be the announcement of the launch of a new firearm, one that could destroy the balance of powers in the world. He would probably offer it to the alliance in exchange for something." She gazed at the teenager in a serious manner and continued, "King Ouyang, I'm really not sure what's going on in Lu Zhen's mind, but the series of incidents that happened over the past few months indicate that very soon, this world will be embroiled into chaos. During the past three months, two beasts emerged from the ocean and made breakthroughs in the demigod realm. Now, they have taken over White Tiger Continent/Beast Empire completely. Everyone suspects 'Kun' is behind it and we all know the reason, to maintain the balance of powers. Today morning, there was another incident occurred in the ocean but it even blocked my perception. I don't know what happened this time, possibly the Kun has broken through to the immortal realm. No one knows. People are not aware that Lu Zhen's presence indirectly prevented many things across the continent, because no one could gauge his powers or perceive his thoughts. But, once he is gone, everyone with their schemes will come out, especially the ancient sects and dark organizations. If I were you, I'd be prepared for the worst."

For a while, silence filled the room as Ouyang Zen and Lan Jing were busy digesting Sylvandria's words.

Meanwhile, in the Qilin Empire's Royal City;

"So, if I were you, I'd be prepared for the worst…"

Similar words were spouted in front of the Ming Dynasty's Emperor. Surprisingly, Sylvandria was here too. The conversation between her and Ming Xianzhi went almost exactly the same as with Ouyang Zen.

But, the response from them was quite different from each other.

While Ouyang Zen quietly took her warning to heart and listened to Mark's request/order, Ming Xianzhi neither took her seriously nor followed her to Western Moon.

Of course, it isn't that he is not afraid of offending a demigod or something. If he isn't afraid of such existence, there is no way he would seek membership in the alliance and even go as far as forming a relationship with Western Yan through a marriage alliance or paying a significant portion of taxes in exchange for the protection.

He promised to be at Lunaris City by morning but did not follow her as he was asked, as he could use a special teleportation formation recently built between his palace and the temples at Western Moon's palace and Western Yan's Church of Nuwa's cathedral. As for the other three (Northern and Southern Phoenix, Eastern Sun), the constructions are in place but not completed.

As it is merely a prototype, its functions are currently limited. First of all, it is currently a one-person travel. Secondly, it takes a tremendous amount of ether crystals to use these teleportation formations. Last but not least, it only works when the formation is opened from both sides.

Since he had no direct contact with Shen Niu (communication scroll), Ming Xianzhi had to send one of his generals, Wu Shi, to follow the demigod elf's clone to Lunaris City with a letter.

As for why he didn't heed her warning, only he knows.

Feng City, Western Yan;

In one of the alleys of Feng City, the witch and its puppet were seen hiding in the darkness; the old woman had her breath suppressed to the point that she seemed lifeless.

Above the buildings, a golden dragon soared in the sky, amidst rain and thunder.

As it disappeared from their sight, the old witch finally exited the alley and let out a heavy breath, sighing in relief, "Finally, we got rid of that dragon. Things aren't easy here. Publicly, the dragon is on the side of the royal family, but we don't know its relationship with Shi En. It would be best if I could divert its attention elsewhere while I take care of the target. But, before that, I have to confirm his current location. Intruding into the cathedral is not easy. Not to mention, the defensive spell inside that will suppress my cultivation. Perhaps, I could draw him out instead. Hmm…"
