Chapter 210: The Dust Settles on the Killing of Zuo Lang
To be able to suppress it so easily and simply, and even take away Tai Sui's divine charm...

It can only be the Li family.

That sword, that golden energy, clanging and humming, the entire Cangzhou... including the autumnal energy of the ancient battlefield, has been nurturing this sword. This is the Li family's backup plan.

Zuo Lang finally understood.

The flaws revealed by his group of unfilial sons and the opinions they attracted had more to do with people other than Li Zuofang.

The Li family has been coveting the Zuo family for a long time.

But think about it.

I have been having ideas about the Li family for a long time.

Zuo Qing... was actually someone he had supported himself. Although it was Zuo Qing who was doing this kind of thing, the disagreements within the Zuo family must have been closely related to him.

If Zuo Lang himself had no ulterior motive behind the scenes, there would be no such disagreement.

Perhaps the Li family noticed it.

Ha ha.

Then, regarding the New Year's Eve festival at the end of the year, it is obvious that there is also a plan. The Shui family probably already has the news, right? It is even possible that only the Zuo family is kept in the dark about the information that the Li family is going to take action.

I actually had some feelings before I went into seclusion, but at that time I thought... I could break through two levels and advance to the tenth level in two or three months, and these would be trivial matters by then.

Unfortunately, it was interrupted.

Now it seems that the interruption was planned in advance.

Then, after the destruction of the Zuo family, the Li family should send people to take over all the witchcraft forces in Cangzhou.

Really... I have nothing to say.

No wonder the Shui family has been watching coldly, because he probably knows that there will be no problem with the New Year's Eve ceremony no matter what.

What else can I do? I can only accept defeat.

But before that, I need to find someone to take the blame.

That brilliant idea——

That's him.

Gao Jian still looked confused at this moment.

In fact, he was still looking at Tai Sui.

Because Gao Jian actually knew that in the end, someone would have to clean up the mess, and he, a person in the fifth realm, didn't need to be responsible for this kind of thing. What he had to do... was make a decision, to decide to "draw the sword".

In other words, it means taking the blame. No, it cannot be called taking the blame, because it was indeed Gao Jian who made the decision.

Li Zuofang is taking advantage of Gao Jian's murderous intention.

What happened today was done by Gao Jian. Although a lot of things were used, it was Gao Jian who made the decision personally and without a doubt.

Whether it was the natural disaster, the destruction of the Zuo family, or the intervention of the Li family, all of this would be partly blamed on Gao Jian, and even Li Zuofang himself could only be held responsible for the leadership.

Gao Jian has a strong murderous intention.

The demise of the Zuo family is closely related to him.

and so……

At this last moment, Zuo Lang pounced on Gao Jian.

Since the Li family has already noticed it and taken action, there is nothing he can say. He just lost the bet.

After he reached the Tenth Realm, even the Li Family would not dare to touch him casually...

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as the future.

Zuo Lang didn't feel any regrets or anger.

If you lose, you lose.

But before I die...

The culprit, who had the will to kill, couldn't possibly be allowed to live, right?
------------

"Goodbye!"

"Look at that man!"

"Your tooth will seem to be dying."

"Grass!"

"There's something good to watch."

"What's there to see? The outcome is already determined."

The Sima of the Demon Suppression Division, various noble families, and government officials all witnessed this scene.

I thought everything was settled, but Zuo Lang actually did this!?

Sima immediately stood up and rushed towards Gao Jian!

At the same time, in Baishan River, Duanlong Gorge is located.

Li Zuofang stood there, looked around, and sighed, "It's amazing how close yet so far away! If it were just me, I definitely wouldn't be able to get from Shendu to Cangzhou so quickly. I was able to get here in an instant this time, which really means I took an express train."

The Li family patriarch put away the long sword and said, "Compared to this, aren't you worried? The young man you entrusted with an important task seems to be dying, but it doesn't matter to us."

When he put away the sword, he could see that the water transportation along the entire Baishan River had become smoother, the river became straighter, and the clear water flowed freely. There were deep streams without any embankments blocking the river.

This sword has been suppressing Baishan River for thousands of years, leading to the emergence of the deformed product, Baishan River Dragon Palace, and then giving rise to the ambitions of the Zuo family.

The Zuo family's ambition ultimately led to this result.

The Li family certainly had the ability to destroy the Zuo family from the beginning, but that would also shake the foundation of the Li family and undermine their reputation as the leader of the witches.

Power comes from below, not from above. If the witches and sorcerers below refuse to obey orders, then the Li family will have no power. Although they can gain some power through violence, if they only rely on violence to maintain their power, they will sooner or later be overthrown by violence. The Li family does not have enough confidence to fight against all the witches and sorcerers in the world.

However, the Zuo family sought their own death by doing those things, so it was only natural for them to take action, and it would not provoke resistance from the witches and sorcerers of the world, thus allowing the Li family to easily obtain Cangzhou and gain the qualification to trade with the Baishan Grassland Royal Court.

When I first hung this sword up, it was for today.

Li Zuofang looked at the head of the Li family. It was obvious that the other party was in a good mood. He even cared about Gao Jian's fate. After all, the blame for the destruction of the Zuo family would probably be put on Gao Jian by the Li family afterwards.

This was a scapegoat for the Li family, but a huge honor for Gao Jian.

He may not want Gao Jian to die so early. If so, some of the pressure will still flow to the Li family. At this stage, it is more beneficial for Gao Jian to be alive.

Therefore, Li Zuo nodded to the Patriarch of the Li Family and said, "I am a little worried, but he himself said that... as long as it is a matter of the soul, even an earthly immortal can't do anything to him. I think we can give it a try."

"Oh, so that's the case. Then I'll go first. Do you want to go back to Shendu by yourself, or come with me?" The head of the Li family didn't say much. Since Li Zuofang said so, he believed it.

"Let's go together. If you leave, it will take me at least three to five days to get back. There is no time to waste. There are still many things to do." Li Zuofang shook his head.

"Okay." The head of the Li family did not act pretentiously, and then the two of them disappeared on the spot.

Can Gao Jian survive?

Li Zuofang said yes.

Well, that's right!
So...what is Gao Jian's condition at this moment?

Huge waves were stirred in his heart.

At this moment, Gao Jian experienced what "terror" meant.

In Gao Jian's eyes, he could feel that his own existence was in constant turmoil.

There is a star above the lake of his heart.

That was Jupiter. The power of corruption, disaster, bloatedness, horror, it was a burning fiery red star, but the red on it was not the color of sand, but flesh and blood!
This is a star made of flesh and blood, and above the flesh and blood, there is a golden vertical pupil, which is extremely terrifying.

The skin on the surface of Jupiter was wriggling and churning like a storm!

A symbol of disaster, the terrifying body covered in blood mist was full of brutality and distortion. Gao Jian's heart seemed to be wailing for it, making a strong turbulence.

Gao Jian's heart was shocked, which directly led to the emergence of evil thoughts!
The mouth, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, as well as all kinds of fears and inverted fantasies, bring about demonic thoughts that continuously emerge in the lake of the heart. Demons are born from the heart and are endless.

This was the charm of Tai Sui, which, through Zuo Lang's last strength, began to distort Gao Jian's mind, which brought about an effect similar to 'gravity', and the will of Gao Jian around him was absorbed.

If nothing unexpected happens, Gao Jian will be overwhelmed by this kind of charm, turning him into a madman, or even having his soul annihilated.

This is the spirit of Tai Sui Star Lord, although it is only a partial remnant and not complete, because the complete part has been taken away by the Li family. It is estimated that the sacrifices in Cangzhou will be fully taken over by people sent by the Li family in the future.

But such power, just witnessing it, is enough to shake the mind.

But at this moment, it was in Gao Jian's heart.

But then I saw a layer of freezing force covering me.

The lake of his heart, which had been in great turmoil, suddenly calmed down at this moment.

As calm as a mirror.

"Oh? You want to compete with me in the firmness of your faith in Taoism?" The Tai Sui star suddenly made a voice.

"Zuo Lang, right? I've heard of you for a long time. Today is the third time we meet, right? But you're dying." Gao Jian stood on the calm lake of his heart and looked up at the Tai Sui star in the sky.

"You too." Zuo Lang said.

"It's embarrassing to lose to me, right?" Gao Jian asked the Tai Sui star with a sneer.

"I didn't lose to you. To be honest, you were just a pawn. The Li family and Li Zuofang have been targeting me for a long time."

But Gao Jian just smiled.

He then said, "It seems that you don't want to admit that you lost to me, but that's the way it is. If it weren't for me, the Li family and Li Zuofang wouldn't have found a chance."

"It was me who opened up the Zuo family's weaknesses. It was me who made the Zuo family show signs of fatigue. It was me who brought the internal strife within the Zuo family to the surface. It was me who killed the Zuo family's heir, leading to the subsequent violent outbreak of conflict. It was me... who made Li Zuofang make up his mind. It was also me who made the Li family finally realize that the time was ripe."

"The Zuo family's downfall is because of me."

"It's human nature not to want to admit this, but you're almost dead and you still don't admit it. Then I can only say that the Zuo family deserved to lose. You are not capable enough to support the Zuo family."

Gao Jian spoke eloquently, saying things that hurt the heart.

Yes.

Zuo Lang, no matter how many things you push to him, such as the real dragon, the Li family, Li Zuofang, etc.

But so what?

You still lose.

And he lost miserably.

The root cause of all this is the insight. Without insight, these things would be "hidden dangers".

What is a 'hidden danger'?
You can treat it as if it doesn't exist and deal with it slowly later, but that's a 'hidden danger'.

Zuo Lang had to face the fact and admit that he lost to Gao Jian.

A ninth-level wizard admitted that he lost to a fifth-level junior?

Gao Jian wanted to laugh.

But he suddenly stopped smiling and looked up at the sky.

Because the Tai Sui in the sky shrank, a wisp of Zuo Lang's residual soul escaped from it, and then said: "You are right, I lost to you, there is nothing wrong with admitting it."

"You took advantage of my one-month retreat and accomplished so many things. In less than half a year, you even advanced from the first level to the fifth level. I'm afraid no one would think you're a monster."

"But don't even think about getting off easy. I won't compete with you in Dao Heart. It's meaningless. The sword energy is still eroding my soul. Until then, I'll let a genius like you, with your extraordinary mind and talent, be buried with me."

After saying this, Zuo Lang said nothing more.

Above the sky, the Tai Sui star began to fall.

Jupiter suddenly cracked, as if the sky was collapsing, and countless streams of light composed of divine charm tilted down!

Above Gao Jian’s heart lake, crystal rays fell and trailed light.

When those countless falling stars touched the ground, it was as if thunder exploded, and hundreds and thousands of layers of energy waves burst out all around. Silver waves erupted, and there were ringing sounds throughout the mind, which then burst into billions of fireflies.

Normally, with this level of collision, the heart lake of the Five Realms would definitely be shattered.

Yes.

This is the spirit of Tai Sui Star Lord. Even if it is incomplete, if it were to fall upon us like this, an ordinary person in the seventh realm would have their mind shattered.

but……

Gao Jian's heart lake easily accommodated it all.

Thousands of trees blossomed in an instant, and the information contained therein, those hidden golden seal characters, the things reflected in the flickering light, and all the information transformed by the charm were swallowed by the lake of the heart at this moment.

Zuo Lang was stunned.

"Well, thank you, Senior Zuo Lang. Originally, I wanted to swallow the Tai Sui spirit, which was a little difficult. But with your help, I really made up for the last bit of gain." Gao Jian smiled and said so.

Gao Jian could feel that at this moment, his divine gate had been supplemented with a huge divine charm.

Nightmares, evil thoughts, Buddha's light, and now the light from Tai Sui Star Lord.

All these charms have become part of his spiritual nourishment.

Gao Jian felt that his "divine will" was about to be born. As long as he did it two more times, or in other words, if he opened the acupoint of the divine gate again, he would be able to give birth to the complete divine will.

By then, he will possess the complete power of the Divine Gate, rather than the empty shell he has now.

It was really rewarding.

However, the consumption is also very high.

After consuming the spirit of Tai Sui, he consumed eight inches of the blade!
Now, only an inch of Gao Jian's blade is left.

There was still an inch left, which was used on Zuo An, and it was still worth it.

And Zuo Lang witnessed this scene with his own eyes.

He was stunned at first, then suddenly relieved: "I...I really didn't lose unfairly. You are a monster."

Then, his expression changed again and he laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, you are this kind of monster, that's a good thing for me! You can't stand the Li family, right? "

"It seems like they will come to accompany me soon. That's good news, good news!"

"Life is short, like grass growing in spring, it comes like wind and rain, and goes like dust. It's all worth it for me. In the end, there's nothing I can't rest in peace! Gao Jian, please don't change. If you become like me, or like the Li family, it would be...too boring. If you continue like this, with your talent, I'm afraid many people will be buried with me!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Zuo Lang seemed to be aware of something suddenly. After he finished laughing, the last of his soul was broken apart by the sword energy and completely dissipated.

Gao Jian, on the other hand, remained silent from beginning to end.

After watching him split apart, he went up and hit him a few more times.

Well, dead.

"call."

Gao Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
