Chapter 814: Measuring The Trend (2)
Silk Destroying King had a cheerful smile as he said, "Exactly. For example, Great Han King and Great Song King will count themselves lucky if they can find even the memories from three months ago. But...I'm different. I'm the King of Time. Little Zhou, time for you to learn something. For me, I can easily reproduce the events from nineteen or even a hundred and nineteen years ago. Isn't that interesting?"
Great Han King laughed and said, "Silk Destroying, stop bragging in front of juniors. No matter how worse off we are compared to you, we can still reproduce events as far back as three years ago. Meanwhile, you'll probably reach your limit with thirty years."
Silk Destroying King laughed, "You're such a boring person. You should stop bragging in front of juniors instead. It's fine. The matters of the Luminous Domain Mansion happened less than twenty years ago. I can give it a try. But it will be quite exhausting. Sigh. This is so annoying."
Right after those words were spoken, some people lost their calm. Soul search! They had all pushed for the soul search because even Invincibles couldn't search too far back. They could only search recent memories.
They had never heard of anyone capable of searching as far back as decades ago. Beside Zhou Mingren, Qian Jun had a complicated expression. Silk Destroying King said nothing else and reached out to grab Feng Ji's head.
Right at that moment, Su Yu felt like the world itself seemed to have changed. Silk Destroying King had disappeared! No, he was still there. But at the same time, he seemed to have left for a different plane of existence.
The eyes of Great Han King and Great Song King shone brightly as they gazed at the two. Su Yu and the others hurriedly tried doing the same, looking over with shining eyes. But all they could see was a dense fog.
***
Feng Ji's entire consciousness turned blurry.
He felt as though time was turning backward.
He was being dragged to the past by Silk Destroying King. During the journey, he saw the scenes of his life in prison during the past few days. All the scenes became a blur. When he regained his consciousness, he had arrived near Great Wu capital.
At that moment, the tunnel of time trembled very lightly. It was almost undetectable. Silk Destroying King raised his brow slightly, but he said nothing and continued onward.
Before long, darkness surrounded them. They had arrived at the time when Feng Ji was delirious. At times, he would regain his clarity of mind for a short moment. He wasn't able to see much, but he did manage to witness the murders that had happened. They continued traveling. Eventually, Silk Destroying King saw Chen Yong.
"Take care of Jia for me."
Chen Yong left only that sentence behind before vanishing.
Silk Destroying King frowned. At that moment, the tunnel of time trembled lightly yet again. The shining eyes of Silk Destroying King flickered as he realized something. Chen Yong...how brazen. And how capable.
Suppressing the slight tremble of the tunnel, he continued onward with Feng Ji in tow. His legs moved at a rapid pace, as though he was stepping on moonlight to chase after the twinkling stars in the night sky. They continued moving past the countless scenes around them rapidly.
Before long, they arrived at the Starfall Mountain. Here, Silk Destroying King tried to see more instead of passing by these scenes like before. But the moment Zhu Tiandao appeared, the tunnel of time trembled for the third time. Once again, Silk Destroying King's eyes flickered as he suppressed the trembling tunnel.
He stopped paying attention to that event and moved even further forward. What he saw next was Feng Ji's life as a spy.
He saw what Feng Ji did in the Six-Winged Divine Sect, he saw Chen Yong's arrangements, he saw Feng Ji's cultivation sessions...
During those years, Feng Ji lived a relatively stable life.
They moved faster and faster. One year, two years, three years...in the blink of an eye, they were back to a certain point more than ten years ago. Silk Destroying King's expression was starting to change due to the rapid drain of his energy.
And finally, he saw it! He saw Chen Yong carrying a dying Feng Ji out of the Allheaven Battlefield.
A lot of people had been wondering how Chen Yong managed to bring Feng Ji back into the Human Realm. After all, his return was not recorded anywhere. But now, Silk Destroying King finally knew the answer. Great Han King and Great Song King finally knew the answer as well.
Outside the main human headquarters in the Allheaven Battlefield, Chen Yong extracted all the blood essence from the dying Feng Ji before destroying Feng Ji's body. Then, Feng Ji's sea of willpower was kept in a mythic destruction beast skull before being taken into Chen Yong's sea of willpower.
Chen Yong did not bring Feng Ji back to the Human Realm. He only brought some blood essence and a sea of willpower with him. Nobody would bother checking those things.
No wonder. No wonder they saw that scene earlier. There was a scene of Feng Ji walking out of a pool of blood earlier. That was actually a reconstructed body instead of his original body.
This had happened around twenty years in the past.
The three Invincibles had an odd look in their eyes. Chen Yong was too brazen and talented. Twenty years ago, he was already capable of preserving someone's sea of willpower and extracting one's blood essence to smuggle someone back into the Human Realm.
Feng Ji himself seemed to have learned about his body reconstruction for the first time. After all, he was unconscious when it happened.
In fact, they were only faced with darkness when they were traveling through the memories during the time when Feng Ji had yet to reconstruct his body.
Feng Ji had an odd expression as he looked at how Chen Yong completely destroyed his body with complete indifference. That was something that must have left its mark in his memories, but he must have forgotten about it due to his serious injuries. Nevertheless, his blood essence had still recorded this entire event.
Silk Destroying King did not stop there. He continued onward. It was getting harder and harder to continue forward. But Silk Destroying King merely snorted and pushed on. Before long, the Luminous Domain Mansion appeared before them. Numerous powerful presences rose all around them. That signified the presence of Invincibles in this location back then.
The pressure from those presences seemed to have traveled through time itself to block Silk Destroying King's path. Silk Destroying King snorted again. These were merely the presences left in someone's memory. What could they do to him? The pressure on him vanished with that snort.
Suddenly, from deep within Feng Ji's memories, a cold voice rang out, "Wang Hu, damn you!"
"Silkwyrm?"
Silk Destroying King blanked out slightly before he shouted in fury, "Fuck your mother! My new name is Silk Destroying King. Wait for me. I'll go out and fuck you up soon."
Silk Destroying King was naturally not his real name. His real name was Wang Hu. Naturally, Silk Destroying King would not retake that name until he washed his shame with the Silkwyrm King's blood.
With a rumble, the final Invincible pressure shattered.
At the same time, Silkwyrm Realm.
Silkwyrm King looked up at the sky with a frown. Had Wang Hu gone mad? Why was that fellow chasing after his past? Was that fellow beating his past body from someone else's past memory because that fellow couldn't beat him up in reality?
Was that fellow so desperate? To the point where he was settling with defeating some projection from the past? Silkwyrm King shook his head and decided to ignore that idiot.
After so many years of rivalry, Silkwyrm King was feeling very helpless as well. Even when he was hiding in the Silkwyrm Realm, that fellow would occasionally enter the Silkwyrm Realm itself to pick a fight with him. Fortunately, Silkwyrm King was slightly stronger in his own realm, allowing him to slightly suppress that madman.
***
Silk Destroying King continued onward.
Ahead of him was a large sea. It almost seemed boundless. In the middle of the sea was a door. The door was massive. And it stood there all by itself. At the moment, it was tightly shut. That was the door leading to the Luminous Domain Mansion.
Silk Destroying King was just about to enter the mansion with Feng Ji when an incomparably powerful undulation rippled out of the door and sent Silk Destroying King flying away.
"Fuck!"
He cursed furiously.
"Help me!"
Both Great Han King and Great Song King moved out and suppressed the door. However, the two of them were unable to reach that far in the past. Thus, their attacks hit nothing. Next, Silk Destroying King's projection was crushed into pieces. Yes. A single door had destroyed a projection of his body.
***
Inside the hall.
The fog around Silk Destroying King dispersed, revealing the unconscious Feng Ji.
Silk Destroying King had an unsightly expression, but his face returned to normal almost immediately. He spoke through voice transmission, "Shit! I actually can't enter the Luminous Domain Mansion even through past memories. That damn place is too abnormal."
Great Han King and Great Song King were quite shocked as well. Great Song King said, "If even you can't explore the mansion, it must really be the residence of the ancient Human Emperor."
"Who knows?" Silk Destroying King felt very helpless. With a calm expression, gaze abruptly landed on Qian Jun as he coldly said, "The search has been completed. He has been in a delirious state all along, so he knows nothing about the murders. We can only be sure of one thing. He was with Chen Yong before he fainted outside Great Wu capital.
"We don't have solid proof that Chen Yong was the murderer. But he is still a suspect. An order will be issued to recall Chen Yong to Great Xia. He will need to explain his recent whereabouts and his actions after he left Feng Ji."
Zhou Pochong frowned and asked, "Lord, are we only going to issue an order for him to return himself?"
Silk Destroying King asked, "What else are we supposed to do? None of us saw him committing those murders. But it is true that he's a suspect. Thus, we need him to return and explain himself. Are we supposed to be issuing a bounty for his head instead? Sure, you can do that if you want. But you also need to shoulder the consequences of that."
Zhou Pochong stayed silent. Consequences? Everyone understood what would happen if he went after Chen Yong without solid proof that Chen Yong was a criminal.
At this time, Great Han King spoke through voice transmission, "There might be some issues with his memories. Didn't you notice the slight tremble of the tunnel of time when we were moving through it?"
"Yeah." Silk Destroying King indifferently said, "But we should stop when we can. Do you really want to force the Xia Family to turn against those people? If we can smooth things over, we should do it to extend the peace. We naturally can't spare Chen Yong if we can find solid proof of his involvement, but now, we have no proof. So what if there are some issues with the memories? That won't change anything."
Great Song King asked, "And how should we answer to Great Qin King and the others? They will need an answer for this or the military will remain unstable. Who can bear the consequences of that?"
"It will be fine. The three of us will search the entire Human Realm and hunt for those two fellows from the Six-Winged Divine Sect. The Myriad Race Cult will be forced to abandon the two. We can use their heads as the answer for the military."
Three Invincibles would be personally searching the Human Realm to make life hell for the cult. The cult could very well end up abandoning the two Sunmoons. After all, if the search continued, they might lose more than two Sunmoons.
Great Song King helplessly said, "Fine. I hope that Great Qin King and the others can agree to this. Otherwise, it will be very hard for us to face them."
"That's something for you to worry about. I'm only in charge of inspecting the memories. And there is no proof that Chen Yong is the murderer in the memories. He must have modified Feng Ji's memories."
Great Han King nodded, "He sure is brazen. That fellow might have experimented on humans before. No matter what, he needs to be caught. But that will no longer have anything to do with us."
The three Invincibles reached a decision.
