The God of Cataka
122
THE TRACK!
THE TRACK!
The sound of knocking on the floor of the throne hall dominated. Liuwang Palace turned silent.
Solemnity.
THE TRACK!
The same voice was also heard in the dungeon of the Knight Alliance Headquarters.
Xiao Mao kneeled down with both hands stretched out on his sides, tied to a chain in the middle of the room, his head drooping and drowning.
THE TRACK!
Shen Zhu stepped slowly into the throne hall, wearing a bright white silk hanfu decorated with golden silk embroidery. His hair crown and shoulder protector were gold, as were his hand guards. His golden robe was dragged on the floor behind him. Golden silk waistband ties wrapped around her slim baked fitting.
Little fairies danced around her sprinkling gold-colored light powder. Making the figure of Shen Zhu even more stunning and glittering.
His grandfather waited on the podium accompanied by his similarly aged Guardianship Knight.
THE TRACK!
The door crackled and opened. A dark shadow figure slipped inside and severed the chain that bound Xiao Mao, then snatched the girl's waist and escaped using the power of teleportation.
WUSSHHHH!
The guards and imperial officials were kneeling along the edge of the velvet carpet that stretched from the entrance to the podium steps.
Each footrest of Shen Zhu dropped them one by one.
The clattering of the legs of the knights clashed noisily along the corridor in the dungeon of the Knight Alliance Headquarters.
"There's intruders!" shouted the several guards stationed around Xiao Mao's detention room.
But Xiao Mao had disappeared without a trace.
Reaching the altar of the throne, Shen Zhu knelt before his grandfather resting on the God Emperor Scepter he had conquered. Then his grandfather placed the crown of the emperor on his head.
On another silent altar in the Zainan Temple, a dark shadow figure landed lightly on the floor, then laid Xiao Mao down.
Little fairies flew into the throne hall, spreading colorful light powder and music, making the atmosphere of the room turn lively and sparkling.
The officials inside the hall applauded. Greetings soja and congratulate Shen Zhu.
Shen Zhu pulled up his body and turned around.
Everyone fell down from the hall to the grounds, even to the exit of the gate.
It was the blessing day that the people of Liuwang were waiting for. The day of Shen Zhu's coronation as New Emperor.
The Liuwang people gathered outside the fortress, impatient to see the face of their emperor for the first time in decades.
Shen Zhu stepped out of the hall flanked by his grandfather and the fiercely loyal old Knight Guards.
"People Liuwang!" Grandfather Shen Zhu's voice echoed from the court of the throne hall. "This is your emperor!"
The first fireworks exploded at the top of the tower, followed by other fireworks all over the country.
Moments later, millions of lanterns floated up and flew across the gray-orange sky welcoming night.
The atmosphere turned spectacular.
Contrary to the situation across the ocean.
Explosions of battle were still going on in the Xuang Continent.
All over the place frenzied.
Thick smoke rises from a number of high-altitude points throughout the Jiangnan country.
Some areas look dry, dry and black.
Bodies were scattered among the rubble of buildings that had been flattened to the ground.
The Bao Sect became a sea of fire.
The Majusi Sect flooded with blood.
The disciples of Shu Sect whimpered. The women wailed as they hugged their children who screamed in fear.
The Cheerleader God Sect.
The villagers attacked the four sects, crazily muttering.
The Zainan Temple in the cemetery of Shen Zhu's birth village was destroyed.
Several members were successfully rescued and secured in the Liu Sect.
After dinner, Shen Zhu stripped off his great outfit and replaced it with a shiny black all-tight outfit clad in black armor, then coated it in a dark robe with a hood.
"It's only been a day of being emperor, already wanting to leave?"
The voice on the door of his room jerked Shen Zhu. "Grandfather?"
His grandfather sighed and crossed his arms while leaning one shoulder against the door frame.
Looking at the murmur of anxiety on Shen Zhu's face, the old man sighed again. It then ordered its Guard Knights to keep up such duties for the past twenty years.
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Shen Zhu bowed respectfully to his grandfather and pleaded with himself.
His grandfather shook his hand.
A moment later, Shen Zhu had already disappeared from his place.
His grandfather smiled wryly as he stared blankly inside his grandson's room.
A short while later, Shen Zhu had already landed at the Zainan Temple.
A magic circle was created on the altar floor of the offering. Everyone in the room was dumbfounded.
Bao Yu, Jyang Yue and their son were gathering inside the temple with Liu Tang, Xie Ma, Jyang Ryu and all the people who had been saved from the four sects that were destroyed.
The figure of Shen Zhu settles down from the towering high dome that suddenly opens emitting a tube-shaped golden colored light that descends from the sky.
The whole room turned bright.
"Xiao Zhu!" Xie Ma sizzled softly with a happy and haru expression.
Shen Zhu blinked and looked around, surprised to see everyone he knew were in the same place.
Everyone stared back at him in amazement and dismay.
What the hell's going on? shen Zhu thought suspicious. Then glanced at his Guardian Knight.
Jingwei glanced towards the altar in front of Shen Zhu.
Shen Zhu bowed and was stunned to find Xiao Mao's body rubbed on the offering altar with pale facial skin. "Xiao Mao's?" Shen Zhu suffocated and scooped the girl's body into his embrace.
Xiao Mao did not react.
"Xiao Mao!" Shen Zhu shook the girl's body.
Still no reaction.
"What's going on?" Shen Zhu turned his gaze towards his teacher, then looked at everyone one by one.
Everyone was silent with a guilty face.
"Which bastard dared to harm my woman?" hardik Shen Zhu pitched in wrath.
The temple shook and rumbled.
Everyone was shocked and gulped.
"Long Qiuyun," Liu Tang replied in a choked voice. Then turn and bow. Not daring to stare at Shen Zhu's face that was already completely engulfed in god aura.
Shen Zhu squinted his eyes, throwing a sharp glare at his uncle.
WUSSHHHH!
A strong wind blew from the glances of his eyes.
"He is already a god," Liu Tang added.
Shen Zhu tightened his jaw and froze.
Everyone blinked and bowed in agitation.
"My fault can't take care of him" regretted Bao Yu bitterly. "I'm late to realize it."
Shen Zhu remained unmoved.
"Four of our sects have already been destroyed" Jyang Ryu told. "Allies in the City of Base were imprisoned. So did some Sicarii and the hunter god."
"Long Qiuyun.." Shen Zhu gritted his teeth. Then lowered Xiao Mao and laid him back to his original place. Then clenched both of his hands. His body trembled holding back furiously.
The floor under his feet shook and rattled.
Liu Tang sighed and exchanged looks with Bao Yu.
Shen Zhu tightened his fist, a dagger of crystal element was created within his grasp. He drew the dagger in front of his face. The dagger glittered like lightning.
Everyone is screaming in restraint.
And before everyone realized what was happening, before everyone could react, Shen Zhu punched out his own chest.
