Chapter 264 - Stopping The Spatial Rift?



Lin Wu knew Shirong would not be able to do this on his own and thus was assisting him with it. A few suggestive thoughts here and there made it seem like Shirong was doing this all on his own.

Even he didn\'t realize that these subconscious suggestions were not his own and belonged to someone else. The radiation vortex eventually got stronger and the suppressive force of it also intensified.

After about ten minutes of hard struggle, Shirong was finally able to close the spatial rift and take a breath of relief. Even with his nascent Soul realm cultivation base, it had taken him quite an effort.

\'If just this took up half of my spirit Qi, how much more can the potential of the Immortal Crystal Armament be extended?\' Shirong wondered to himself as he wiped the sweat from his brow.

The others including the king were in a worse shape than him and directly slumped to the ground. They were drained of their spirit Qi as well and could not move for a bit.

The formation runes fizzed out and the Yezi sealing formation faded away. It looked rather beautiful even when disappearing as the leaves fell one by one, revealing the empty interior.

It was as if an egg had hatched but its shell was made out of leaves and its interior was empty.

The king looked at the place where the spatial rift was and then at Shirong.

"Thank you for your help, Young master Shirong. And I mean for both finding the true identity of Du Yang and also stopping the spatial rift. If it were not for you, I\'m afraid we would have had a ton of causalities." The king spoke with gratitude.

Shirong nodded his head and spoke.

"Do not worry, King Huo. This was not just a problem for you but for me as well. They have been targeting me, so they must suffer the consequence. I swear I will tear them down if I discover where they are." Shirong replied.

"I\'ll send out our intelligence agents right away and they should have some information soon enough." The King stated.

"No need. I actually know where their hideout is in the city, but seeing Du Yang\'s reaction I think they must have already left by now. Try sensing it you will find the spatial fluctuations." Shirong spoke.

King Huo closed his eyes and extended his spirit sense, but was unable to sense anything. Due to the presence of the spatial rift, the entire spatial fabric of this region had been temporarily disturbed and as such he would not be able to differentiate between the spatial fluctuations.

Even Shirong only sensed it due to Lin Wu. There was a clear demarcation between the spirit Qi and radiation due to which Shirong could still tell it. But King Huo or the other mercenaries did not have the same level of expression as Shirong and thus could not tell.

"I\'m afraid, my talent does not hold up to young master Shirong. Though, if you tell me where it is, I\'ll send my men right away to investigate. Even if they left the area, they should have left clues behind." King Huo replied.

\'Oh yes. I should go and see how much more I can trouble my sister and brothers.\' Shirong thought with a grin on his face. 

His back was currently turned away from King Huo and thus he had not witnessed the eerie smile. If he had done, King Huo would not have been trusting enough towards Shirong. 

Shirong\'s act of suppressing the spatial rift was deemed to be a great merit in terms of contribution to the ling kingdom and he would be hailed as a hero.

"Hmm… King Huo, I have a request from you." Shirong suddenly spoke.

"Sure, Young master do tell. I\'ll do my best to fulfill." King Huo replied.

"I would like this matter to be kept secret, or more accurately my involvement in this." Shirong stated.

He knew that while he would get merits for this, there was not much use to the credits. Whatever he could get with them, he either already had or could easily get from his clan. Thus it was not a novelty.

Rather hiding his involvement in this would have him hide his identity and that of the Immortal Crystal armament. Even now the people here thought of it to be a divine armor that Shirong seldom used. It was better if they didn\'t know the true capabilities about it so that he could have an advantage in killing.

The king thought about it for a while and found it to be reasonable.

"If you say so young master Shirong. This matter and your involvement in it will be kept secret. Thankfully, the spatial rift didn\'t get strong enough to destroy the hall, or there was no way the others would have been unaware about it." King Huo replied.

"Exactly. Plus, I believe this may give you the opportunity to weed out the problematic \'apples\'." Shirong stated.

The king\'s eyes narrowed as realization dawned in his eyes.

"Young master is wise…" The King praised.

He turned to the other ministers and advisers who were still recovering and shook his head.

"Everyone that is here shall swear a blood oath to Young master, that his identity and involvement in this matter will not be revealed." King Huo ordered.

"We accept!" They all said in unison.

While some of them wanted to take advantage of this turbulent situation to play politics and gain some benefits, the King\'s Order and Shirong\'s gaze had sealed the deal for them. Neither of them were people that they wanted to offend and doing so would only spell their doom.

At least this way, they may get some benefits as the saviors of the capital. 

Soon Blood oaths were sworn by each of the person and an invisible chain was formed over their hearts. If they were to break their oath, their hearts would be crushed by their own cultivation base.
