Bai Siling, Zhao Yatong, Xu Gan, and the others quickly left. Zhao Qiqin, Huang Qian-er, and Wei Anfang and the other members of Deflecting Blade Manor also left.
On this night, many people descended from the mountain.
Just like Wang Chong, many of them needed to go back and give an explanation to their families after all that had happened.
The densely packed Deflecting Blade Manor abruptly fell silent, leaving only a few lanterns swaying in the cold wind.
Cuckoo!
The cry of a Nighthawk suddenly came from above, bringing with it a whistling sound as it flew towards the top of the mountain.
"How much longer?"
In the lonely night, Wang Chong stood at the edge of the summit, his hands held behind his back as he looked down at the pitch-black mountains. The night wind blew at the corner of his robe, making whooshing sounds and making people feel even colder.
"The Imperial Army is already moving out, and I hear that the Court of Judicial Review has already dispatched troops and is on their way. And I hear that there's also some activity in the palace. … "
The Eagle's voice came from the darkness, brimming with worry.
He was standing not far from Wang Chong, perched on his shoulder on the nighthawk that had just flown down from the sky. He had just finished reading a piece of white paper and thrown it into the wind, its fragments flying everywhere.
One had to pay a price for impulsiveness. Quite a few Hu had died in Drunken Sparrow restaurant, and in that courtyard on the edge of the capital, no small number of Youzhou soldiers had died there.
Such a major incident had taken place at the foot of the Son of Heaven, involving an armed melee, and an important minister on the border of the empire like Zhang Shougui. The Imperial Army and Court of Judicial Review could not possibly turn a blind eye to this.
In the previous battle, these factions could be said to have been caught off guard. But now that the dust had settled … there was no question that these people had come to capture Wang Chong.
"In addition, the people of the Chamberlain of Dependencies are currently moving around. They might arrive even faster than the others!"
With these final words, the Eagle's brow was shrouded in a dark cloud.
This was not the first time that Wang Chong had clashed with the Chamberlain of Dependencies. Logically speaking, this matter had nothing to do with the Chamberlain of Dependencies.
But many Hu had died this time, and some of them were Hu merchants from the capital, which just so happened to fall under the jurisdiction of the Chamberlain of Dependencies.
The Chamberlain of Dependencies had a unique status and enormous authority. It had wanted to deal with Wang Chong for a long time. But in the past …
The Wang Clan's authority and Wang Chong's caution had never given them a chance, so they had never been able to do anything to him.
But this time …
It had been delivered by Wang Chong of his own volition!
Wang Chong's expression was calm, not too surprised by this.
Everything had a price, and he had already thought of this outcome when he took action. This was not the first time he had faced the threat of imprisonment.
This was had been the Wang Four.
Wang Wang Wang Wang Wang had Wang Xiaofei, but had, Two had, and had, and, and had, and, and, and had, and, and, and, and, As someone who had lived two lives, Wang Chong had long ago seen through all of this.
He had only appeared here for one goal, for one reason.
'To live and die for the benefit of the country, how can one avoid it because of fortune or disaster? ' This was a famous saying from another world, one that Wang Chong used to console himself.
Thus, whether it was the Court of Judicial Review or the Chamberlain of Dependencies, Wang Chong did not care. What he truly cared about had never been these things.
"I understand. In a little while, whether the people from the Court of Judicial Review or the Chamberlain of Dependencies appear, there's no need to stop them. Just let them come. "
Wang Chong waved his hand, absent-mindedly saying this.
"This … Yes, Young Master!"
Eagle clenched his teeth and finally lowered his head.
Wang Chong said no more. The howling of the wind in the darkness threw the stars into disorder, and it also threw Wang Chong's emotions into disorder.
Following the back of Deflecting Blade Mountain, Wang Chong began to aimlessly descend the mountain. The operation to ambush An Yaluoshan had already failed. After today, he needed to properly organize his thoughts, seriously consider what he should do in the future, and what he should do?
If he ignored these thoughts, Wang Chong's mind would never be able to calm down.
… …
Time slowly passed. Wang Chong strolled alone through the mountains, not allowing anyone to follow him.
At some point, the eastern sky was gradually beginning to brighten. Wang Chong believed that he would continue like this, but the development of the situation was far different from what he had imagined.
Cuckoo!
The strange cry of a bird suddenly rang out in his ears. This cry was completely different from the other cries in the mountains, shattering the silence of the forest and also shattering Wang Chong's thoughts.
Wang Chong frowned and subconsciously raised his head. Through the dim light of the hazy sky, Wang Chong could see that in the southwest sky, a massive bird was flying toward him like a bolt of lightning.
This bird was neither an eagle nor a sparrow. Its body was massive, and its entire body was suffused with a golden sheen. It was at least twice the size of a normal eagle.
But the most eye-catching of all were the two flame-like red rings on its legs.
"Buzz!"
When he saw the red ring on the bird's leg, Wang Chong's dazed eyes seemed to have been set aflame, and he suddenly became clear-headed.
An extremely bad feeling welled up in his heart, and Wang Chong's entire body shivered. At this moment, he no longer felt the slightest bit sleepy.
Wang Chong recognized this bird.
This was a strange bird that came from the Gobi Desert of the Western Regions. It had a fierce temperament and was extremely fast. It could hunt down the 'green sea' that stood at the top of the pyramid in the sky.
Wang Chong had seen it before at the Eagle's place.
But that wasn't the main point. The main point was that this Eagle King, which had been trained with great effort and energy after his demotion, had been given to Lone Wolf by Wang Chong more than half a year ago and brought to the southwest of the empire.
This Eagle King was ferocious and extremely powerful. It could break through the encirclement of birds in the sky like the green sea. So when Wang Chong gave it to Lone Wolf, he had made it very clear.
This Eagle King was not to be used unless it was absolutely necessary, or if there was an extremely dangerous situation or an extremely important matter to report.
So even though Lone Wolf had brought this Eagle King with him, he had never used it. Their usual exchange of information was done through ordinary means.
The sudden appearance of this Eagle King could only mean one thing. The southwest of the empire had undergone a drastic change, and an extremely important one at that.
"How could this be … I clearly told him to use this bird."
Wang Chong's brows twitched as he suddenly had an extremely bad feeling.
Whoosh!
Just as Wang Chong was deep in thought, the wind whistled. The Eagle King's eyes were sharp and bright. It flapped its two giant golden wings and slowed down as it descended toward Wang Chong.
Wang Chong subconsciously stretched out his arm.
Boom!
The heavens and earth shook. At almost the same time, an ice-cold voice that made one shudder suddenly rang out in Wang Chong's mind.
"Host has lived for a year and accumulated more than 400 points of Destiny Energy. The 'Trial of Destiny Mission' has officially been activated. Upon completion of the mission, host will receive a new title, 'Controller of Destiny'. Host's survivability will be greatly strengthened, and host's ability to resist the restraints of the world will be strengthened, as well as the ability to dominate destiny. At the same time, new rewards will be unlocked.
"Mission failed. Host will die. New host will be found!"
Boom! Hearing the warning voice in his mind, Wang Chong's mind shook violently. But before he had time to think, an endless stream of bloody light surged forth.
In front of Wang Chong's eyes, the entire world seemed to be covered in a layer of bloody gauze. Everything exuded a dense blood-red color.
