Capítulo 759: Chapter 130 Wang Dong: I Will Avenge Qin Xiao_1
"Crown Prince."
Jing Hongchen called out with reluctance.
He knew that if the Crown Prince and His Majesty did not agree immediately, it meant that his proposal was very likely rejected.
They were simply delaying, not wanting to disgrace him and Kong Deming in public.
But this matter concerned Qin Xiao... He had no choice but to fight for it once more.
Ye Xishui said indifferently, "Lord Hongchen, the Crown Prince has said that he needs to consult His Majesty. You might as well go back and wait for news. Besides, isn't the post-disaster reconstruction work keeping you busy enough?"
Without a doubt, in her heart, nothing was more important than waging war.
Because if war was waged, the Holy Spirit Cult would be the ultimate beneficiary.
The inexhaustible supply of souls was crucial for the Holy Spirit Cult, as it would allow their strength to increase exponentially.
As for the Body Sect, they were to be dealt with, but now was definitely not the best time.
"You..." Jing Hongchen wanted to say more, but thinking of the harsh words he was about to utter, he swallowed them back down, flung his sleeve, and chose to leave the grand hall.
Kong Deming said, "Your Majesty, Crown Prince, this old man pleads with you to reconsider."
When he said this, he simply didn't want the Crown Prince to rush to a decision, because he had already made up his mind to explain the importance of Qin Xiao to the Crown Prince after everyone had left.
By then, he would be willing to accept whether they directly attacked the Body Sect or waged war against the three great empires: Heavenly Soul, Dou Spirit, and Xingluo.
After all, Kong Deming had a quarter of the royal bloodline, and despite being one of the most powerful figures in the Sun-Moon Empire, his loyalty to the royal household was absolute.
...
Meanwhile.
A short distance from the entrance of the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy, Wang Dong curled up in the dark corner of a back alley.
Tears slid down his cheeks continuously, clearly showing his deep sorrow.
"Hmph, who made our little princess so sad? Tell me, and I'll go smash him into scrap!"
Suddenly, a cold snort sounded in the alley.
Wang Dong hurriedly looked up and saw a towering figure, like an iron tower, standing at the entrance of the alley, blocking the sparse light.
Seeing him, Wang Dong couldn't hold back any longer and burst into even more severe crying.
"Second dad..."
Crying, he rushed into the arms of the burly man.
The only one who deserved Wang Dong's call of "second dad" in the entire Soul Land was Titan, the Second Sect Master of the Hao Tian Clan.
Upon seeing this, the rugged face of the Titan Ape softened as he stretched out his broad hand to gently pat Wang Dong's back, comforting him.
Listening to Wang Dong's sobs, Titan's heart was nearly breaking.
"Tell second dad who upset you. I'll tear him apart right now to avenge you," Titan said, his voice filled with an icy killing intent, as if Wang Dong only had to name someone and he would be ready to confront that person immediately.
"Second dad, that guy might already be dead…" Wang Dong sobbed.
He hadn't expected that shortly after he left the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy, the academy would suffer an attack.
By the time he arrived near the academy, he could see several powerful fighters battling within, and even the aftermath of the fights was terrifying for him, too much for him to approach.
His heart wrenched at the sight, because the epicenter of the incident was the laboratory building where Qin Xiao was.
In agony, he waited until the fighting ceased, then he immediately rushed into the academy, heading straight for the laboratory.
But what he found was a vast hole in the sky above, and the laboratory itself was a mess with not a single person in sight.
Wang Dong was struck as if by lightning, his complexion deathly pale.
He stood still in the laboratory for a long time until Ju Zi arrived and asked in surprise why he was there. Only then did he come back to his senses.
The first thing he asked about was Qin Xiao, how he was…
But the answer from Ju Zi sent a chill through his heart.
Famed prodigy of the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy, Qin Xiao, remains missing to this day.
Then, he left, looking utterly disheartened and dejected.
It was only at this moment that he realized, without being aware of it, how considerable a place that mischievous guy had carved for himself in his heart.
Of course, this feeling wasn't necessarily romantic.
It was more about how Qin Xiao could always bring him a glimmer of hope when Wang Dong was in despair; his heart was filled with gratitude for Qin Xiao.
"If he's already dead, why are you crying? Shouldn't you be smiling instead?"
The Titan couldn't understand.
Despite having lived among humans for several decades, he had never encountered such complex emotions.
Wang Dong: "..."
"Second Dad, Qin Xiao wasn't my enemy, he could be considered my friend... and he also helped me a great deal; I owe him a debt!"
"Is that so?"
The Titan realized he might have misunderstood Wang Dong.
He tried to make his tone more amiable, "I'll have a proper talk with Second Dad; tell me exactly what happened. Maybe Second Brother can also think of a solution for you..."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong nodded heavily, "Here's what happened..."
He succinctly told the Titan about how he met Qin Xiao, how Qin Xiao had helped him, and finally, the circumstances of Qin Xiao's untimely demise.
The Titan blinked his enormous eyes, his expression growing more shocked as he listened.
So much had happened.
In the end, he awkwardly scratched his head, "So I misunderstood. That kid isn't your enemy... "
"However, the people of the Body Sect are ruthless in their actions. Anyone who falls into their hands is more likely doomed... You should prepare yourself psychologically."
"What?" Upon hearing this, Wang Dong cried again, "Didn't you say you would help me find a solution?"
The Titan: "..."
What could he do if the person was already dead?
The Titan added, "Although we can't bring him back to life, you can avenge him. As long as you become strong enough to exterminate the Body Sect completely, I believe his spirit in heaven would be very happy, and he could rest in peace. In doing so, you should be able to repay him for his kindness."
Wang Dong was taken aback upon hearing this.
He analyzed the Titan's words carefully and had to admit there was some truth in them.
"Second Dad, I'll return to the sect right away, strive hard in my cultivation, and aim to take down the Body Sect as soon as possible."
At these words, the Titan gave a slight smile.
Isn't this what you would call the innocence of a child? The strength of the Body Sect was so formidable that even he found it troublesome. For Wang Dong to think of exterminating the Body Sect, it was like talking about a pipe dream.
It was impossible without decades of effort.
But he couldn't say this, so let it be a well-intentioned lie.
...
Three days later.
On an imperial road, Qin Xiao asked, puzzled, "The route we're taking seems a bit off, doesn't it?"
Next to him walked Poison Not Dead, his head bald and hair long.
He casually asked, "What's different? Aren't these all roads...?"
Qin Xiao said, "I've memorized the map of the continent by heart; normally, with our speed, we should've reached the Heavenly Soul Empire's imperial city by now.
But we're still not there, and the mountains I saw earlier are all along the border. So I'm sure we've been following the border..."
"You're quite observant," Poison Not Dead commended. "Indeed, we're not on the way to the imperial city."
"Where are you taking us?" Qin Xiao asked, puzzled.
Poison Not Dead replied coldly, "To the junction of the three great empires, to kill Xuan Zi!"
