Battle Royale of the Sinners

Chapter 476 Zuo Ci’s Interference

Chapter 476 - Zuo Ci’s Interference

"Dong Zhuo?" Guan Yu muttered in confusion.

Tong frowned and spat, "Are you hallucinating or what?"

Unlike the last time, Guan Yu’s body was bloody. Even after he had awakened a new soul, his wounds did not recover. Instead, Tong could see that his wings had cracked lines, signifying that Guan Yu’s souls were damaged.

"You have lost, Guan Yuncheng. The moment you forced awaken your soul, you no longer in a condition to fight."

Guan Yu roared, "I DON’T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM A TYRANT!! DIE!!"

The god of war attempted to fly toward Tong and kill him with brute force.

Before Guan Yu could reach Tong, bright light stunned both Tong and Guan Yu. Even when Guan Yu and Tong attempted to enhance their eyesight or sixth-sense to detect their opponent, they could not break through this curtain of light.

Another entity appeared before both duelists.

Zuo Ci spread his 8 wings and placed his palm on top of Guan Yu’s head.

"Sleep, child."

The oppressing aura from Guan Yu dispersed as if they evaporated into nothingness. Guan Yu’s wings retracted into his body while the consciousness of this general fell into slumber.

The old sage carried the unconscious war god on his shoulder while he glanced at the spectators and Tong.

"Please excuse us. All immortals with eight wings are necessary to this dimension at the moment. I can’t allow both of you to kill each other."

Before Tong could say anything, Zuo Ci activated his system dimension authority and teleported away, leaving the confused crowd.

Tong, Diaochan, Dong Bai, and other generals were looking lost, glancing at each other.

"It’s over?"

"That’s it?"

Lu Bu groaned, "Disappointing! Hey Tong, give me back my weapon, and let’s spar!"

Tong yelled back as he threw Lu Bu’s crescent halberd at the owner, "Piss off! I just broke through, and I just fought a life-and-death battle! No sparring today!"

*PA*

Lu Bu caught his weapon and laughed, "I don’t give a fuck! You have 7 wings, but I have 6, so you will have to give me some handicaps! Prepare yourself!"

In the end, Diaochan and Dong Bai carried Tong’s exhausted body home after he was beaten by Lu Bu. As for the latter, the brute activated his regen skill to heal all of his injuries, caused by Tong’s combination of [Time Stop] and his raw demonic power.

Lu Bu lost the sparring match, but he managed to land a few punches to Tong’s face, using his own derived version of Square Accel, which satisfied this war god nonetheless.

He did not know why. Every time Lu Bu heard of Tong’s name, he got irritated and wanted to beat him to a pulp. Even though Tong and Lu Bu were no longer seeing each other as a foe, both men could not hang around together peacefully for more than a day.

As for the other generals, they helped the local garrison force rebuild the city before they returned to their post.

Cao Cao lamented in disappointment since the result of this duel did not satisfy him. He wanted to see a bloody battle. He wanted to see the fall of Liu Bei, and he wanted to see Tong get himself killed.

In other words, Cao Cao still wanted to see the world burn, so he could benefit from the chaos.

As for Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, they were relieved that both participants ended up in a draw.

Taishi Ci and others did not say or react to the result. Since Zuo Ci hinted that 8-wing immortals were important to the realm, they got inspired to work harder, hoping to reach Guan Yu’s level one day.

.

The news of the battle result spread among Tong’s clansmen and Cao Cao’s subordinates.

As Guan Yu’s threat was gone, many generals and strategists voiced their opinion that they should kill Liu Bei now.

Xun Yu: "Let’s get rid of Liu Bei’s forces now, your majesty. We should return the favor and deploy our immortals to assassinate Liu Bei and his generals, so we can end this civil war for good."

Ju Shou: "I agree. After Liu Bei’s death, we can publicly announce that Cao Cao is our ally. Then, Sun Ce and Sun Fang will have no choice but surrender to us!"

Jia Xu: "I suggest we abduct Liu Bei in secret and kill him without letting their generals know that he’s dead. Afterward, their men will begin fighting among themselves. That way, we can destroy his reputation and brainwashing effects."

Zhao Yun: "I agree with the abducting option, but we should inform him about Guan Yu’s status. If he learns that the reincarnation system exists and Zhang Fei can be reincarnated, we can still reconcile with Liu Bei and bring him to our side."

Sima Yi: "@Zhao Yun, Not possible. Why do we have to waste our time converting him when we can kill him and unify the country before the end of this year?"

Zhao Yun: "That’s true, but shouldn’t we try a peaceful method first before we choose the last option?"

Sima Yi: "I’d love to if Liu Bei were not an obnoxious power-hungry son of a bitch. Right now, I’m not certain that Guan Yu will abuse the heaven’s authority or come back to bite at us in the future. If Liu Bei learns that Guan Yu has become a god, that bastard will definitely extort tributes from us by using the god’s existence as an excuse!"

Zhao Yun could not retort since he knew what Liu Bei’s personality was. He would definitely act as Sima Yi had predicted.

Many other generals also joined the conversation and suggested that they should assassinate Liu Bei. Even though Wei Yan and Zhou Cang protested, their opinion was nonexistent.

But one person silence all reincarnated officers.

Zhuge Liang: "As much as I want to join the conversation, I’m feeling like I’m missing the vital info here. Your majesty, can you share any intel about the heaven realm or the goddess?"

The topic interested everyone. Clan members stopped quarreling to wait for Tong or other otherworlders’ messages.

Te Langpu: "Lilim manages the system of this dimension. You can say that what we’re using now is one of her powers."

Zhuge Liang: "Other than this thing that we’re using, anything else that I should know?"

Te Langpu: "I understand your anxiety. You haven’t gotten your previous life’s memory back like the others, so you’re missing info about the other world’s events."

Zhuge Liang: "Previous life?"

Te Langpu: "I’ll summarize it for you, for now. When Liu Bei’s matter is done with, I think his majesty will give you the memory of your other life."

The former president summarized the history lesson of the Three Kingdoms Period for Zhuge Liang.

Reading the story from Te Langpu, all ministers, who had yet to receive the cultivation method, were amazed.

Wang Yun, the current governor of Nanpi, heard this tale from his adopted daughter many times before and was aware of her real identity. Although he had not obtained the cultivation technique, he had 1,000 years of lifespan as a reward for his loyalty and troubles.

Still, this ambitious minister desired the knowledge of this previous life.

Wang Yun: "Your majesty, Prime Minister Te Langpu, how many officers in this chat that has not received the cultivation technique yet?"

Te Langpu: "I need to check with his majesty. He handles the lifespan distribution."

Tong: "@Wang Yun. Mostly civil officers. I gave the privilege to military officers first since they can utilize them to their advantage faster than civil officers."

Wang Yun: "Isn’t that a bit bias, your majesty?"

Tong: "I don’t see any of our strategists with 4 wings or higher. How many wings do you have, Jia Xu?"

Jia Xu: "... One."

Tong: "Xun Yu?"

Xun Yu: "Two, your majesty."

Tong: "Anyone else with two wings or higher?"

Ju Shou: "... I have two wings."

Xun You: "Two wings here."

Sima Yi: "Bitches, I have three!"

Sima Fang: "Excellent, my child. I only have one wing. I see that your language is somewhat embarrassingly uneducated. I’ll add this to our private lesson in my next visit."

Sima Yi: "... I’m sorry, dad! (T_T)!!"

As usual, the rude Sima Yi got scolded by his father again.

Tong: "Back to the topic, as you can see, martial artists have a stronger constitution, so their advancement rate is faster than frail scholars. Well, Sima Yi is still in his late teen, so his physique is in his prime, and he can adapt to the changes."

With the new info, Wang Yun was heartbroken. He thought that Tong might give him the cultivation technique if they reminded him about the bias treatment. Since Tong had his reasons, Wang Yun conceded.

Still, Tong did not forget about them.

Tong: "Currently, we are using our clan lifespans for the sake of domestic stability and weapon making. Next year, I’m planning to invest in our clan level. It has been level 1 for a long time, and the upgrade price is too high for me in the past. But I think we can afford it if everybody helps."

Tong: "Afterward, I’ll make sure that all officers in this clan can get the cultivation technique. I won’t leave anyone behind!"

All lurking governors in the clan chat, Hua Xin, Huang Wan, Kong Rong, and others, cheered. With Tong’s confirmation, they were looking forward to obtaining their other world counterpart’s memory in excitement.

Tong: "Back to the original topic before we lost track of our plan. About Liu Bei..."

Everyone stopped typing and waiting for Tong to finish.

Tong: "I’m sorry, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Zhou Cang, Zhuge Liang. We will kill Liu Bei as planned."

Tong: "Monster Legion, Redhare Legion, Ghost Legion, you have my order. Kill Liu Bei and his followers."

Diaochan: "What about Guan Yu and his god status?"

Tong: "We’ll deal with it later. For now, I will be hibernating and entering a secluded cultivation period to rush my 8th wing and stabilize my foundation. I’ll let my prime minister deal with the internal affair. As for the Sun Clan’s matter and other clan matters, my prime consort will handle it."

Tong: "As for the military campaign against Liu Bei ... Li Feihong!"

Li Feihong: "Yes, your majesty?"

Tong: "You are the grand commander of all three legions in this campaign. Bring me Liu Bei’s head and capture the Liang Province and Yong Province!"
