Chapter 1132: Chapter 50: Turbulent Situation, Demon Sect’s Doom
“It is heroes who, under the Longevity Heaven, swear blood oaths and beco brothers.”
“No one betrays the Longevity Heaven…”
Breaking Army looked at him, his mouth twitching: “But the Wolf King is a Central Plains person.”
Qibi Li: “…”
Breaking Army rubbed his forehead and said, “In this vast world, the generals of the various Western Regions may not know that back in the day, the Wolf King personally broke into the temple and ordered the monks inside to revert to secular life and beco soldiers on the front line.”
“Then he lted the gold leaf from the Buddha statues into gold for military expenses.”
“There are rumors saying he still uses the gold from those days, showing that the monks of Central Earth were truly wealthy.”
“So monks said he slandered Buddha and destroyed Buddhism, condemning him to the eighteenth level of hell.”
“The Wolf King trampled the monk to death and replied disdainfully.”
“He hoped, by then, that hell wouldn’t be so crowded with you monks that there would be no place for him. If there were indeed King Yanluo of hell, then he could also raise troops and beco a king of hell.”
“Such a person, who doesn’t even believe in the reincarnation retribution of the Central Plains, would he believe in Longevity Heaven? Damn, even Chen Dingye would laugh at the sight!”
“He even dethroned the emperor; his ancestors couldn’t stop him.”
“Would he believe in your Longevity Heaven?”
In this era, with its vast territories, rumors, insights, and truths are resources themselves. The generals of the Western Regions galloped across the battlefield all their lives, commanding troops with intuition and courage, relying on orally transmitted knowledge, never setting foot in the Central Plains.
They are familiar with the heroes of the Western Regions, yet they know little about the past of the Wolf King. People like Qibi Li and Fan Qing were unaware of the specifics, and their expressions changed upon hearing this.
Qibi Li’s expression slightly changed, and he said, “Then, at this mont, the Western Regions…”
Breaking Army replied, “Have you ever seen a gambler, General?”
“Don’t gamblers know there’s a risk of losing?”
“But when the benefits in front of them are too great, how can they care about those risks? They know soone will lose, soone will die. So even worry that the Wolf King might not keep his promise, but the benefits…”
“In the casinos of the Central Plains, gamblers can wager their own hand or even their family’s wealth to win. Winning ans earning hundreds of ounces of silver, losing ans suicide, being beaten to death, or having their wife and daughter sold off. Are there not many such cases?”
“Don’t they know they might lose?”
“It’s just a fluke, thinking they won’t be the ones to lose.”
“Thinking they might win.”
“A hundred ounces of silver can compel people to disregard the possibility of failure and death; not to ntion the possibility of becoming a king, leaving one’s na in history? Throughout the silent green history, many heroes have fallen due to [greed].”
Qibi Li asked, “Will the Wolf King kill them?”
Breaking Army replied, “I don’t understand. What the Wolf King does is rely preserve his own military power, letting the Dangxiang and various Western Regions factions slaughter each other. As for afterwards, he certainly won’t imdiately act against those Western ‘kings’.”
“Because he must still consider the Lord and Emperor Ying. That half-million army must be reserved for crucial monts, how could it be used against those Western peoples? Good steel should be used on the blade. If I’m not mistaken, the Wolf King will indeed recognize this king.”
“Then use the general trend to coerce this king, being used for balance against Chen Country and Ying Country.”
“But ultimately, this King of the Western Regions will et with an untily death.”
“Perhaps one day he will fall drunk, or maybe die from a stray arrow.”
“Or perhaps—”
Breaking Army extended a finger, pointing to the sky, and said, “The oath to Longevity Heaven, the blood oath, these two things that could earn the trust of the world, will be thoroughly ruined in later generations.”
“Even Longevity Heaven will be tainted.”
Qibi Li was enraged: “The Wolf King dares to treat my Longevity Heaven like this!”
Breaking Army said, “He is a Central Plains person.”
The pure-blooded Western Khan Qibi Li felt a montary blockage in his heart.
Mr. Po Jun is clever, with genius strategems, yet he loves close-quarters combat, and his words are like knives, stabbing right into people’s hearts.
Breaking Army said, “Unless, there truly is soone from Longevity Heaven descending to the human realm, to raise a military edge, to punish the Wolf King who breaks promises and agreents, so that those who violate oaths receive the punishnt for breaking oaths.”
“Only then can the prestige of Longevity Heaven be maintained.”
“But, from where will they co…”
As the generals fell silent, footsteps approached. The door was pushed open, and a young general in scale armor, clad in a white battle robe with Civil and Military Sleeves, pushed open the door and entered. Inside the door, the generals all looked at Li Guanyi in unison.
Silence ensued.
Li Guanyi asked with confusion, “What’s the matter?”
Qibi Li was stunned, pondered, then suddenly realized, and replied respectfully:
“Nothing at all.”
Hadn’t he already found Longevity Heaven?
Li Guanyi nodded slightly, took a seat, and said aloud:
“I just heard your discussions.”
Qibi Li’s eyes lit up, thinking about the deeds of his Lord, he naturally felt a sense of longing. The people of the Western Regions were raised on the legends of Longevity Heaven from childhood, a prevalence similar to the Central Plains swearing by Buddha, bodhisattvas, and immortals.
The credibility is such that perhaps only the God of Wealth in the Central Plains could rival it.
Or perhaps in the southern coastal areas, there are those who believe in the goddess Mazu.
For the people of the Western Regions, it’s akin to the master of a large fleet from the southern coast swearing earnestly to Mazu, claiming he will absolutely not engage in conflicts.
Longevity Heaven holds for the Western Regions, like the God of Wealth for the Central Plains, Mazu for the mariti regions.
The people of the Western Regions would instinctively have a certain degree of trust.
So Qibi Li’s heart was full of rage, resentnt, and worry due to the Wolf King’s promises affecting Longevity Heaven’s prestige, naturally hoping his Lord could defeat the Wolf King, and upon hearing Li Guanyi’s words, beca even more respectful.
