Chapter 216 – Is It Over?
At the battlefield of Jinyang territory, Lu Zhi, his family, Zhou Cang, and the rest of the team exited the portal made by Li Feihong . All of them appeared behind the large troops of heavy cavalries .
"This . . . "
Zhou Cang and Lu Zhi were astonished .
"Long story short, I’m also a sorcerer like Tong . Well, you can also say I’m also an immortal like he has proclaimed himself," Li Feihong tried to explain his ability .
"Ah, I see," Lu Zhi’s eyes gleamed while Zhou Cang slowly nodded . Everything made sense if both of them were immoral colleagues .
Li Feihong closed the portal as everyone was rescued . He gazed at his monitors to check to others .
Gao Shun had already taken over the leading role from Lu Bu, and he was in the middle of the battle with the remnants of Zhang Yang’s soldiers . Meanwhile, Zhang Liao took a battalion to the top of the hills to flank this leaderless army, trying to get them to surrender .
Lu Bu, on the other hand, climbed the mountain to check the geography . He gazed at the northern areas where there were dust and commotion .
"I sensed a stronger warrior over there," Muttered Lu Bu before he licked his lips .
"A worthy opponent . I hope he is not our ally this time . "
"But I still need to teach Tong a lesson for ordering me around! I’m not his subordinate!"
. . .
Friday was tidying the battlefield by absorbing the corpses by her borrowed wing . The battle of this section was over .
With the supporting arrows from Hua Shi and Friday’s absurd speed, they annihilated the isolated Imperial troops with ease .
Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji did not jump into the fray as the archers and repeating crossbows were more than enough to kill the majority of the trapped troops .
Out of the 50,000 soldiers who were isolated, only 10,000 survived and surrendered . The rest were turned into porcupines and eaten by Friday’s tentacle .
Friday and Hua Shi looked at their status with a bright smile . It was a bumper harvest for them .

Hua Shi gained lifespans with her [Sword Mastery] lifespan draining after a kill, while Friday absorbed the life essence from the corpses . Friday’s current lifespan had not stopped increasing as she only finished 8,000 bodies out of all 40,000, which made Hua Shi stared at her in envy .
Hua Shi suggested, "Donate some of yours into the clan . We can give those lifespans to our clan members like Feihong or Tong’s father . Come to think of it, Feihong doesn’t have enough lifespans for this year upkeep . We should give him at least 4,000 years or so . "
"Aye aye, let me finish all of these juicy bodies first . " Friday sang a corpse under her left foot turned into dust .
The eyebrows of Hua Shi twitched .
’I think I understand how the others looked at me when I was a cannibal now . ’
While the two girls were happily clearing the dead bodies, the soldiers of Julu looked at them in fear as they kept their distance from the two housewives .
"T-T-The body has just turned into ashes?"
"Was it sorcery?"
"It’s a hex!"
"Didn’t you see how they fight? They’re grim reapers!"
The soldiers began speculating and whispering . A new rumor about the Friday was born .
"The mistress is [Goddess of Death], and her bodyguard is [Death Apostle]!"
. . .
. . .
*Beep*
An alert sound came from the system menu while Tong was settling a temporary tent for Huang Zhong to stay .
He gazed at the clock . It was already 3 PM . By now, the battle on the other side should have been concluded .
Dong Bai: Liu Ping is dead .
Hua Shi: RIP by butt-sex and BBQ .
Tong clenched his fists as that troublemaker had finally died for good . At the same time, he had a chill running down his spine as he noticed the comment of Sunday .
"What do you mean butt-sex? I can guess that BBQ means they have burnt him, but butt-sex?" Tong was baffled .
Zhang Tong: Great job!
Zhang Tong: BTW, I’ve captured Huang Zhong .
Zhang Tong: But I have to release him back in a few days . I can’t recruit him yet .
Hua Shi: My scouter said your luck is over 9000+
Hua Shi: How the heck did you capture him!?
Hua Shi: Isn’t Huang Zhong’s skill almost the same as Lu Bu in archery?
Dong Bai: Obviously, he cheated .
Dong Bai: And plot armor .
Dong Bai: Lame luck .
Hua Shi: Right .
Hua Shi: LAAAAME .
Tears dripped from Tong’s eyes . Did it hurt to give him a bit of credit? These girls were bullies . As he was discouraged, his pole raised its flag and pointed at his face .
If Tong’s little brother could speak, it would have said something like, "Let’s break those two once we get home! We shall get our revenge!"
Tong nodded, "That’s right! Let give him a mind-break tag! Since my [Sloth] has come back, we shall trample them on our bed with my unlimited regen!"
The long pole in his pants waved its shaft, "Don’t forget . We can also add a time-stop tag! We should increase this skill level and give them an experience of a surprise time-stop dual-cultivation .
"Nice idea! It’s a good plan!"
"Right? I’m a genius at this after all!"
"HAHAHAHA!"
"WKWKWKWK!"
<your [insanity]="" has="" 12 . 19="" percent="" ...="">>
In the tent, Tong was laughing and talking to himself . The squad of ten guards broke a sweat as they heard everything that their young lord had said .
"Is he alright?"
"He’ll be fine . He’s done that a lot . "
"You knew?"
"It’s a habit of a talented commander . Our lord’s personality is a little bit weird . Get used to it . "
"That’s not a little bit . He’s bonkers . "
...
An hour later, Li Feihong also sent an updated news .
Li Feihong: Reporting from Jinyang, I’ve rescued Zhou Cang and his party .
Li Feihong: Lu Zhi and his family are safe!
Li Feihong: I’ve transferred them with Zhang Liao and co ATM .
Li Feihong: Lu Bu and Gao Shun are clearing the Imperial force now .
Li Feihong: Everything should be over by the evening .
Tong’s mood got better after he saw Li Feihong’s report . Everyone made it, and all plans succeeded .
Li Feihong: BTW, Lu Bu said he wants to duel with you again after this war .
Li Feihong: He said unless he beats you to a pulp, he can’t sleep soundly .
Tong collapsed onto the ground in an Orz position as he cried a river .
Normally, warlords should have been rejoiced and celebrated after they had achieved a hard victory from a series of difficult battles, yet Tong continued to sulk till night .
"Why everybody wants to bully me *sob* . "
. . .
. . .
At the altitude of 2,000 feet above the ground, Zuo Ci was observing the battle below while he stood still in the air as if there were a floor under his feet .
In front of him, a small transparent ball floated and moved around in confusion .
Zuo Ci extended his ten wings which they reached and wrapped around a small transparent ball . This ball could not be seen with naked eyes, but to him, it was as noticeable as a lighted torch in the darkness .
The ball was the soul of Liu Ping, who could not return to his realm after death .
Zuo Ci stared at Liu Ping’s soul with a frown . They soul circulation system in this dimension had not even constructed yet, but this soul required a place to settle .
Normally, he could have sent this soul into a body of an empty shell embryo right away to reincarnate it, or he could give the soul his blood to turn it into an angel in the next 20 years . However, Liu Ping’s soul was an exception .
Zuo Ci had read Liu Ping’s past and learned about his feuds with Tong long ago .
When the two reincarnated into this world, a massive thread of karma appeared and bound the two together, which alerted Zuo Ci and Lilith .
There were other karma threads among the others as well, but they were thin . Those thin lines were neglectable as it could be severed with a few good deeds as a redemption .
Unfortunately, both Lilith and Zuo Ci could not ignore Tong and Ping’s fate as the two could influence many natives in this world .
They came to a conclusion after a discussion . One of the two had to die by the other’s hand! Had they let them be, the two could have created battles and wars on a larger scale .
Thus, Lilith deliberately created a scenario where both Liu Ping and Tong had to fight each other early on so one of the souls would be sent back to the original dimension . Once one of them gone, the karma thread should disappear as well, and the stability of this fragment dimension could enjoy more of its tranquil .
Alas, the creator suddenly took Lilith away and severed the connection of both dimensions, causing Liu Ping soul to get stuck in this world .
This posed a serious problem to Zuo Ci . He was not powerful enough to create a realm for the souls!
After Liu Ping died, Zuo Ci immediately came to this place .
As the sage of this world, he should be neutral toward the affairs of the world . However, in the depth of his heart, he wanted to destroy this sinner spirit . It was a soul that did not deserve to enter the circle of reincarnation .
"Since one of you is unnecessary in this world, I should destroy you!"
Zuo Ci exerted a bit of his wings’ strength, planning to crush this soul into pieces . Contrary to his inner thought, his wings did not harm Liu Ping .
Biting his lower lips, he clenched his fists and attempted to destroy Liu Ping’s soul again, yet the wings did not do anything to it . Rather, Zuo Ci had not exerted any power into his wings at all .
"I can’t!"
Zuo Ci was afraid of the karma backlash . Despite the fact that he was one of the tops of the food chain in this dimension, he still wanted to obtain another pair of wings .
He wanted to possess twelve wings like the first generation archangels or Morning Star .
Zuo Ci was aware . If he saved this dimension and the natives by destroying this soul, he would have been stuck at 10 wings bottleneck for the rest of eternity because of the karma interference .
The ambition of getting twelve wings was the only thing that gave Zuo Ci the drive and the motivation to continue his duty in this forsaken realm . Else, Zuo Ci would have gone insane by the boredom and the solitary life .
’Damn it all! I can’t!’ Zuo Ci screamed in his mind .
’I want to kill this piece of garbage so bad, but I don’t want to sacrifice my future!’
’WHY DO I HAVE TO THROW AWAY MY FUTURE FOR THIS EMPTY WORLD!?’
In the end, Zuo Ci’s greed prevailed over his justice .
He gazed at the soul again, and the humongous thread of karma could be seen by Zuo Ci’s eyes . It extended toward Li Feihong, Tong, Hua Shi, and Friday .
Earlier when Zuo Ci gave Medusa a sermon, he miscalculated . He thought that the karma thread size would decrease its volume if Tong’s subordinates were to kill Liu Ping . But in reality, it increased instead . Furthermore, it even bound Hua Shi and Friday, who were responsible for killing him .
"Do I really have to let these two fighting each other?" Zuo Ci muttered and sighed .
The wings of Zuo Ci released the soul of Liu Ping, which floated around aimlessly as it had lost its conscience and will .
Liu Ping at this stage was like an infant without his previous memory . As his soul had not perfectly synchronized with his body, the ejected soul came out from the dead body without a memory . However, it still contained his instinct and his trait inside .
"I hope that you can redeem yourself, Ping . I’ll let you go on your own . "
The soul continued to float toward the northeast as if there was a magnet that drew his soul toward the direction . Zuo Ci also noticed this, but he allowed it to go as he thought that it was the work of his fate and karma . </your>
