Chapter 746 - 29: Qin Army
Mount Tai still didn’t answer Ji Xin’s question. Instead, she bit her lip like a young girl and said, "Why did the Yellow Springs issue a warning to all the derived pantheons? Even half forcing us to handle the escaping ’entity’ on another branch? What exactly did you do? Do you know what it means when the Yellow Springs, the starting point of reincarnation that completely follows ancient rules, forces a pantheon?"
"..."
Upon hearing this.
Tang Language’s expression turned serious.
Although she couldn’t understand what this ’Mount Tai’ was saying, because it involved the Yellow Springs, she almost instantly thought of Chen Lusi in the Yellow Springs.
Ji Xin as well.
She slowly released Tang Language’s head, then pushed the wheelchair to ’Mount Tai’ and said, "Goddess of Longevity, I don’t know what happened, could you explain it to me in detail first?"
...
Goryeo.
Yellow Springs Branch.
Threads of golden light blossomed like fireworks, soaring suddenly into the sky, then exploded fiercely.
Accompanied by the entire Goryeo branch trembling violently.
One by one, figures made of golden light of various shapes slowly descended, standing behind Chen Lusi.
A glance showed at least nearly a hundred.
Zhuoli and others were dumbfounded at this sight.
Even Chen Lusi realized something, and turned his head abruptly.
A golden figure was staring at him... although it was said to be staring, Chen Lusi couldn’t see their eyes at all. The figure before him was merely a mass of energy body.
But Chen Lusi could feel that this person was staring at him.
"..."
Chen Lusi pulled the curious Lin Ying behind him, then looked at the golden figure staring at him and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"..."
Because of Chen Lusi’s words.
The others finally reacted, all releasing their Authority Abilities.
None of the people present knew the origin of these golden figures.
And such a mutation happened just as a few of them stepped into the Goryeo branch, so the first reaction was naturally an enemy.
"..."
But in response to Chen Lusi’s inquiry.
The figure did not answer but glanced at Chen Lusi’s face, then slowly moved its gaze down, looking at Chen Lusi’s heart and Tai’e in his hand, and then... gave him a slight bow.
Chen Lusi was taken aback by the figure’s movements.
The others were also a bit stunned.
Before they could react.
The figure straightened, then slowly raised its right hand.
As the hand was raised.
Those golden figures behind it dissipated once more, turning again into fine strands of gold, brushing past the faces of the crowd, and swiftly flew to the depth of the Goryeo branch.
Speed was incredible.
In an eyeblink, they disappeared at the edge of vision.
Soon, there remained only a single golden figure standing there.
It watched the others depart, then raised its arm horizontal, pointing at Chen Lusi.
From the starting point of its raised arm.
... it too began to slowly dissipate, disintegrating, turning into stunning golden silk threads, floating toward Chen Lusi, slowly drilling into his heart.
"How can it be said there’s no clothing? With you, I share robes, the King mobilizes his army, sharpening my spears... with you, sharing hatred."
A faint voice spoke.
An echo entered Chen Lusi’s ears.
Soon after.
It vanished entirely as well.
It didn’t head into the depths of the Goryeo branch.
Instead, disappearing directly into Chen Lusi’s chest.
"..."
"..."
The trembling stopped.
Shanli, Zhuoli, and others witnessed this scene firsthand, looking ahead, then at Chen Lusi, recycling their glances two or three times, still unable to react.
"...!?"
A few minutes later.
Zhou Jian finally came to his senses, looking at Zhuoli: "What was that just now? Is that normal?"
"... not normal."
Hearing this, Zhuoli slightly opened her mouth: "None of it is normal from beginning to end! I’ve never seen those golden figures in the Shallow Yellow Springs, let alone here in the Goryeo branch... I’m not even sure if that’s something that exists on this side of the branch, do you think it is?"
"..."
Silence.
A dead silence.
When it comes to this aspect, Zhuoli is the specialist.
He asked Shanli and Zhou Jian... who do Zhou Jian and Shanli ask?
The few of them were speechless, eventually all looking instinctively towards Chen Lusi.
Chen Lusi pressed his own chest slightly, frowning.
Lin Ying also reached out her hand, gently pressing his chest but seemed to find nothing strange, saying: "Do you feel any discomfort?"
"No."
Chen Lusi shook his head, then looked at Zhuoli and others: "You all don’t know what that was?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Then do you know..."
Chen Lusi recalled, then softly recited: "How can it be said there’s no clothing? With you, I share robes, the King mobilizes his army, sharpening my spears, with you, sharing hatred... what does this mean?"
Zhou Jian vaguely guessed something: "This is...?"
Chen Lusi nodded: "Yes, it’s what that figure said before disappearing."
"That’s the military battle song from Qin land."
Beside Zhou Jian.
Zhuoli heard Chen Lusi’s recitation, paused in disbelief, raising her voice: "So... they are from the mainstream? So what on earth is that!? Why did they come to Goryeo branch singing Qin land’s battle song? Is this related to Emperor Shi’s tour? When did they follow us?"
... still, no one could answer him.
Same reason as before.
This aspect, he is the expert, if he doesn’t know.
No one else can answer.
"..."
Chen Lusi couldn’t answer either, but he vaguely guessed something, looking down at Tai’e in his hand.
Others, catching on, also turned their gaze to Tai’e.
Among everything here, there’s perhaps only Tai’e connected to Qin.
Noticing their gazes.
Chen Lusi looked up, considering, then softly asked: "... how do you think Emperor Shi cut off the Yellow Spring Remnant Vein back then?"
"?"
Not expecting the question from Chen Lusi, the group was unable to react.
After a while.
Zhuoli hesitantly replied: "We don’t know how the empowerer system was like in such a distant era... so we can’t imagine how they did it. This might be something only Emperor Shi would know."
Chen Lusi, hearing this reply, was silent for a moment and continued to ask: "Do you think Emperor Shi acted in the human world or in the Yellow Springs?"
"This of course..."
Zhuoli was ready to answer instinctively, but as soon as she started, she realized something and abruptly turned to look towards the direction where the golden lights had flown: "Chen Tiance, are you suggesting they..."
"This is just my speculation."
Chen Lusi nodded slowly: "If Emperor Shi cut off the Yellow Spring Residual Veins not from the human world but from the Yellow Springs, with a Qin army specifically responsible for this task, then everything just now wouldn’t be so strange."
"..."
"..."
Upon hearing this.
Zhuoli immediately took a deep breath in amazement.
The others weren’t much better off.
Thinking carefully... it’s indeed possible.
The Qin army that Emperor Shi used to cut off the Six Kingdoms’ residual veins... still exists in the Yellow Springs.
Thinking of this, Zhuoli couldn’t help but shiver, feeling both excited and fearful: "Then why did they appear in the Goryeo branch? What do they intend to do? And why did they salute you..."
"I don’t know."
Chen Lusi looked forward, interrupting: "Perhaps it’s due to the sword, or maybe some other reason... we’ll have to witness it with our own eyes, verify it personally."
...
Goryeo Branch.
Root.
Cardinal Lamar Aihai looked at Arakel Tuck beside him: "How much longer will it take?"
Arakel Tuck closed his eyes, thinking: "One to two days. Although this is just a branch... it’s existed for quite some time, and many spirits are resisting. His Holiness the Pope’s scepter needs one to two days to complete the ’purification’ to make this a suitable place for the Great Angel’s arrival."
"One to two days..."
Cardinal Lamar Aihai repeated his words, then chuckled: "Then let’s... await the grand show to begin."
And as he said this... he didn’t notice at all.
Golden spots of light were gathering.
