Chapter 457 Please Hide One Sword Stroke

At nine o’clock in the evening.

The starry sky in Eastern Europe became more and more lonely.

The cold moon dyed the night pale. On the quiet top of the mountain, Lin Fengting was smoking and looking at the direction of the base of the Jiang family of South America, facing the wind.

Gongsun Qi stood on the other side, frowning. He was thinking about the new era that Qin Weibai had mentioned and the position of Zhongzhou State in the so-called new era.

Qin Weibai, who didn’t have Flaming Fire by her side, was carrying a very delicate backpack in her hand. She opened the backpack and took out a thermos cup from it. She took a sip of warm water and was also silent.

Stance had always been a very complicated thing.

Only when there were people would there be different stances. When there were stances, there would be politics. When there was politics, there would be interests.

Interests were placed in the center, and everyone who surrounded the interests had a different direction.

But there was more than just interests in the world.

The future, the present, as well as the past were also in the world.

The world was like a pyramid. It was quiet. The higher it went, the quieter it became. The fewer the positions were, the fewer the people there were.

The hostility and entanglement between the small part of the people at the top turned into grievances in the end.

The entanglement and grievances created today’s complicated and treacherous world.

Lin Fengting thought about the future of the Lin Clan and the past of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

If the chaos in Eastern Europe was destined to be the starting point of the separation between the Lin Clan and the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, then Qin Weibai’s partic.i.p.ation would inevitably bring great changes to the future of the Lin Clan.

With Qin Weibai in the Lin Clan, it was destined to be closer to the Li family and Li Tianlan than ever before.

In Qin Weibai’s new era, Li Tianlan and the Li family were the focus of the dispute.

How could the Lin Clan hide in the secular world then?

What about its friends.h.i.+p with the w.a.n.g family of Beihai over the past hundreds of years?

These were all the questions that Lin Fengting needed to think about.

Gongsun Qi’s thoughts were equally complicated.

If it were really a new era after the chaos in Eastern Europe, it would undoubtedly benefit Li Tianlan, but the interests of Zhongzhou State would definitely be harmed to some extent.

Gongsun Qi was the leader of the Terracotta Army. He was the neutral force of Zhongzhou State.

However, only when his surname was Gongsun could he be neutral.

If he changed his family name, how could he be neutral?

Zhongzhou State was a country.

It was because of his family.

Now it was due to Li Tianlan.

The one in the middle was himself.

Qin Weibai called him Third Uncle and linked all the things together.

A country and a person.

Gongsun Qi, who was standing in the center, also needed to think about making a choice.

The mountain wind was getting stronger and stronger, whistling sharply as it blew over the top of the mountain.

Gongsun Qi took a deep breath and glanced at Qin Weibai.

She called him Third Uncle.

How glorious was it? How heavy was it?

Qin Weibai did not notice Gongsun Qi’s gaze.

Lin Fengting was thinking about the friends.h.i.+p and grievances between the Lin Clan and the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

Gongsun Qi was considering his country.

Qin Weibai was just thinking about Li Tianlan quietly.

The wind completely fluttered her long hair and the scarf around her neck.

Her natural and rich body fragrance filled the entire mountaintop with the wind.

Qin Weibai’s eyes were a little unfocused. She was a little joyful and happy.

At this moment, the general trend, crises, intrigues, tricks, and bloodshed seemed to be drifting away from her.

From Lin’an to Eastern Europe, it was the thirteenth day since she had left him.

She felt that one day seemed like a year.

She really missed him, thinking about the few memories she had with him.

The mountain wind was bleak and cold.

With affection and gentleness in her eyes, she held the thermos cup in her hand.

So warm.

The sound of the text message rang.

Qin Weibai took out her mobile phone and looked at it.

Her mobile phone wallpaper was still a photo of her and Li Tianlan snuggling in the dormitory of the Sky Academy that they took three years ago.

A simple text message blocked her face.

“His Highness Li Tianlan has arrived at the Office of the President. The overall situation has been settled.”

Qin Weibai looked at the text message in her hand quietly.

The tenderness and lovesickness in her eyes faded away. She became calm, sober, and indifferent.

In an instant, her temperament had undergone a dramatic change.

Gongsun Qi and Lin Fengting turned around at the same time.

Qin Weibai stood up.

“Tianlan succeeded.”

Qin Weibai looked at Lin Fengting and Gongsun Qi.

Her voice was very light, but an unimaginably strong aura suddenly diffused from her.

Confident, calm, cold, and proud.

She stood high above the ma.s.ses!

Lin Fengting and Gongsun Qi couldn’t help but look away.

The night was still dark.

However, Qin Weibai, standing under the night sky, seemed to suddenly become extremely dazzling.

Lin Fengting wore a self-mocking smile.

Maybe he didn’t want to admit it.

However, in this world, some people, regardless of their backgrounds, were born to be superior and overlook everything.

For example, Qin Weibai.

There were also some people who were born to climb and struggle in the dark abyss.

For example, Li Tianlan.

She and he got close to each other.

One was at the top, and the other was at the bottom. One was the former, and the other was the latter.

It was as if the sky and the earth were slowly merging together.

When they really faced each other, they would inevitably create a new world.

And a new era.

“Next?” Lin Fengting asked.

…

“It’s our business.”

Qin Weibai whispered, “Anyone who is guilty should be judged.”

Her voice was also very soft when she said that.

But when Gongsun Qi heard this sentence, he clearly felt that the surrounding air was chilly, as if the whole mountain area around him had become extremely gloomy.

In one day, three superiors of the Invincible Realm died.

Next, it was Qin Weibai’s trial of the entire Dark World.

“Are you in too much of a hurry?” Lin Fengting and Gongsun Qi asked at the same time.

…

As soon as they said that, they finally looked into each other’s eyes for the first time tonight.

“Am I?”

Qin Weibai glanced at them.

Gongsun Qi thought for a while and didn’t say anything.

But Lin Fengting, who knew Qin Weibai well, suddenly felt tremendous pressure.

Perhaps except for himself, no one, including the members in the major branches of the Lin Clan, knew why he asked Qin Weibai to be the acting patriarch of the Lin Clan.

It was not because he wanted to help Qin Weibai with the Lin Clan. At least it was not all.

At least in Lin Fengting’s mind, he let Qin Weibai be the patriarch of the Lin Clan because he wanted Qin Weibai to help the Lin Clan.

As for the reason?

Because some people were born to be superior to others.

“I can’t grasp Tianzong’s state now.”

Lin Fengting told the truth.

Lin Fengting had no clear image data about what exactly happened in front of Rekvia Castle so far. Some textual information simply could not help him judge w.a.n.g Tianzong’s current state. He and w.a.n.g Tianzong had reached such a level on the road of Martial Arts that a slight mistake would perhaps lead to completely different endings, not to mention that w.a.n.g Tianzong had made a breakthrough again. Lin Fengting was no longer his match. At this time, he mustn’t make a wrong judgment.

He couldn’t grasp w.a.n.g Tianzong’s state now.

He believed that even Qin Weibai couldn’t do that.

w.a.n.g Tianzong’s breakthrough was beyond everyone’s expectation.

It was the biggest accident.

“At least, for now, it seems that no one in the Dark World can grasp w.a.n.g Tianzong’s state.”

Qin Weibai said softly, “Since we can’t do that, we might as well imagine him as the strongest one.”

“He is the strongest now.”

Lin Fengting raised his eyebrows.

Qin Weibai nodded her head and said, “He is indeed the strongest in the Dark World, but not in Martial Arts.”

Now w.a.n.g Tianzong was truly invincible.

However, there was indeed the real Chosen One above the Half-step Chosen One.

Perhaps such a Chosen One didn’t exist at the moment.

However, the meaning represented by the words “the Chosen One” did exist in Martial Arts.

w.a.n.g Tianzong was not the strongest in Martial Arts.

But Qin Weibai was willing to imagine him as the strongest.

She was not just putting pressure on them.

A glimmer flashed through Lin Fengting’s eyes, and his voice became dignified involuntarily.

His voice was very slow, as if the night sky was shaking slightly. “Do you mean… Tianzong will take the last step in Eastern Europe?”

Qin Weibai kept silent for a long time.

w.a.n.g Tianzong was Half-step Chosen One now.

He would become a real Chosen One after he took the last step.

A Chosen One who was able to overturn the entire Dark World alone!

Lin Fengting stared at Qin Weibai, waiting for her answer.

After a long time, Qin Weibai nodded and said, “He will.”

Lin Fengting’s body shook, and he said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Your speculation?”

“It’s not just speculation.”

Qin Weibai shook her head.

Lin Fengting suddenly didn’t know what he was feeling.

Qin Weibai’s answer was more than speculation. It basically was infinitely close to the truth.

…

w.a.n.g Tianzong would break through completely in the chaos of Eastern Europe?

He was in his fifties this year, and it was already a miracle for him to advance half a step from the peak Invincible Realm.

Would he break through again?

Lin Fengting was in a daze. Recalling w.a.n.g Tianzong’s face once again, he even felt somewhat dazed.

At this moment, he finally remembered their youth.

The talented Summer Solstice, who was regarded as the promising one to be the Chosen One by Senior Li, Senior w.a.n.g, and Senior Lin.

She was the first of the four to break through to the Invincible Realm, and her talent was the best, but in the end, she destroyed her foundation of being the Chosen One for the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.

Li Kuangtu, who was extremely stubborn and never retreated, also had great potential in kendo, but in the end, he had shed all his blood in a treason case.

He himself was idle and ignorant. He cultivated at his will but also reached the peak Invincible Realm today.

What about w.a.n.g Tianzong?

Lin Fengting suddenly discovered that at this moment, he had no idea what w.a.n.g Tianzong looked like when he was young.

Of the four of them, w.a.n.g Tianzong was the elder brother.

But w.a.n.g Tianzong did not have the so-called temperament of the king at that time, and his talent was not the best. Of the four, he was the last to break through to the Invincible Realm. He became the elder brother only because he was the oldest.

In Lin Fengting’s impression, w.a.n.g Tianzong seemed to be silent all the time. When they gathered together in the past, he always watched them play quietly. He practiced quietly, fell in love quietly, and broke through quietly. Everything about him was silent.

He didn’t keep a low profile deliberately.

It was because he seemed to be the least noticeable of the four.

Summer Solstice, Li Kuangtu, Lin Fengting, and w.a.n.g Tianzong.

These were the four people of the year.

They were the people who could overturn the world together.

Now looking back, Lin Fengting found that the one with the best talent lost her foundation, the most serious and paranoid one became a sinner, the idle and casual one still remained the same, and w.a.n.g Tianzong, who had been silent, had become the Sword Emperor of Zhongzhou State as well as the top one on the Divine List, and was stepping toward the road of the Chosen One.

The past was like a long river, constantly making noises in Lin Fengting’s ear and stirring up huge waves.

Lin Fengting was not jealous.

He had gradually forgotten what w.a.n.g Tianzong had been like in his youth, but as he thought about it carefully, everything w.a.n.g Tianzong had now seemed to be what he deserved.

“The Chosen One…”

Lin Fengting murmured to himself.

What did the Chosen One who was capable of overturning the entire Dark World look like?

Lin Fengting knew that the Chosen One was unbeatable.

However, the Chosen One who should have been invincible was not truly invincible now.

At least in the Samsara Palace, there was a sword stroke of the Chosen One in the peak state!

Was it the reality and illusion that was extremely sharp and unparalleled in the world?

Or was it the light and darkness that alternated the day and night with a crazy outburst?

“It turns out that… the Eastern European game is the battlefield between the Samsara Palace and the w.a.n.g family of Beihai.”

Lin Fengting smiled with complicated emotions.

“The battlefield belongs to everyone.”

Qin Weibai whispered, “No matter how powerful w.a.n.g Tianzong is, he has to face the sword stroke of the Samsara Palace. In such a huge battlefield, everyone will have his own position, and naturally, you’ll have your position, Mr. Lin.

“So I never asked you to go to Recchi City. For the rest of the time, if possible, until the final battle, I don’t even want you to take any actions.”

Lin Fengting narrowed his eyes, and he seemed to understand Qin Weibai’s meaning.

“You want me to save up strength?”

In the chaotic situation, she asked him not to take any actions. There was no doubt that she wanted him to stay in the best state and save up strength for the mightiest sword stroke.

But the Chosen One was unconquerable.

No matter how much strength he had saved up, he could only stay at the peak Invincible Realm.

“You can understand it in that way.”

Qin Weibai said, “Strictly speaking, before the final battle, I want to ask you to hide a sword stroke.”
