Chapter 873 -877: Capturing Ming Meng Alive

Biting into a fragrant pear, Zhu Minglang was staring at the White Holy City.

The original inhabitants of the White Holy City had all been driven out by the members of Ming Meng’s Divine Sword Army. Although the population of the Holy City wasn’t large and Knowledge Saint Honor had taken care of those who were expelled, having one’s own people driven from their homes in their own God Country was a matter of dignity.

Zhu Minglang’s aim was simple: to drive out Ming Meng and his Divine Sword Army.

However, Ming Meng had used some special Divine Oracle Flag that caused the ancient walls of the White Holy City to suddenly become as solid as gold, and they even had the effect of absorbing mana. Anyone who approached this Divine Oracle Wall would continuously lose their own mana.

Besides that, those in the Divine Sword Army somehow produced shields of azure gold, as thick as the Divine Turtle’s Shell.

No wonder Ming Meng was cursed as a head-shrinking tortoise; the formation created by those azure gold Xuan Shields indeed resembled a gigantic Divine Turtle squatting in the center of the White Holy City.

Mustering an army to surround the White Holy City was useless, as the walls would turn most people into brute strength Martial Scholars rather than Cultivators.

Fortunately, Zhu Minglang had plenty of time.

And he knew exactly what Ming Meng was waiting for.

Ming Meng, in this situation, not running away and stubbornly persisting here, was in fact an opportunity to capture him.

…

“Damn Xuan Ge, has she taken the wrong medicine? It was just an intrusion into her Divine Temple, and she won’t even talk peace!” Ming Meng realized that this time Xuan Ge was seriously enraged.

But Kaiyang’s people would arrive in a few days, and all Ming Meng needed to do was hold out until then. As soon as he received the heart method, he would return to his God Clan. Then, leading the army of the Ten Descendant Clans, he would flatten the Xuange Divine Country to relieve the hatred in his heart!

Of course, Ming Meng was unaware that Xuan Ge’s real fury was not just because someone intruded uninvited. Xuan Ge had vented all her anger for being spied upon twice on Ming Meng when, in fact, the true culprit was the very person currently trying to drive him out.

“All these years, it’s the first time I’ve seen Brother Ming Meng so stifled.” A tall, thin man in a dark robe approached, speaking with a hint of mockery.

“Flaunting, don’t spout cold words to me. I’ve heard about your situation too. He destroyed your two revered Heavenly Peaks, so what could you, a Superior God of Tian Shu, do to him? Where did this guy come from, and why is he so bold? Why does Xuan Ge trust him especially?” Ming Meng said.

“You know the purpose of the existence of my revered Heavenly Peaks, Brother Ming Meng. We’ve known each other for so many years, so let’s not beat around the bush. Do you want to get rid of this kid or not?” Flaunting said.

“Of course.” Ming Meng replied.

“I’ve found something. Brother Ming Meng, you just need to send a command back, and this kid will definitely comply obediently,” Flaunting said with a smile.

“What command?”

Flaunting methodically explained to Ming Meng a way to restrain Master Zhu.

…

…

At midnight, Zhu Minglang summoned the Night Empress and had her sneak into the White Holy City to get a clear understanding of its layout.

The mana-absorbing ancient city wall seemed unbreachable, and if others were sent in, there was a high chance that Ming Meng and his subordinates’ Divine Sense would detect them.

Ming Meng was now clinging stubbornly to his more than two thousand members of the Divine Sword Army inside the White Holy City. Although Zhu Minglang currently had command of the God Forbidden Army, he needed to understand the internal formation layout before daring to make a move.

One must not recklessly intrude upon a Divine Oracle Flag or the domains of the deities. It was clear Ming Meng had come prepared, initially seeking peace talks, entering a city within the God Country, then making deliberate difficulties and stalling for time, and finally setting up his deity’s formations.

Apart from the Divine Sword Army who wandered and patrolled outside, Zhu Minglang hadn’t caught a single one of Ming Meng’s subordinates inside the city.

“Sect Leader Zhu, Our God is enraged and demands that we expel Ming Meng within seven days. Time is of the essence. Why not speak with the God Ming Meng again and persuade him to leave our Divine Capital on his own?” Earth Dragon Saint Lian Chu said.

“He won’t leave, Saint Lian. You seem quite afraid of Ming Meng, don’t you?” Zhu Minglang asked with a smile.

“How could that be? I, as a Saint, like Our God, am uncontrollably furious and would love nothing more than to chop down the God Ming Meng right away!” Saint Lian Chu quickly retorted with furrowed brows.

“If you’re up to it, you go ahead, and I shall support from the sidelines,” Zhu Minglang stated.

“Don’t say that, Sect Leader Zhu. Don’t we all know your capabilities? Back when you chopped down our War Saint Qiu He, I, Lian Chu, had some excessive behaviors towards Sect Leader Zhu, and I apologize for that.” Lian Chu immediately put on a smile, somewhat ingratiatingly saying.

Lian Chu had come to understand it now.

The Martial Saint held more and more real power, and with an existence like the God Ming Meng, only the Martial Saint and Sect Leader Zhu, who were utterly fearless, could confront him. If any other God’s Descendant, Saint, or Saint King within Xuange Country Capital heard the name Ming Meng, wouldn’t they be disconcerted?

The God Ming Meng may seem like a turtle hiding in its shell, taking refuge in the White Holy City for now.

But who doesn’t know that he has ten mighty Descendant Clans, each with a colossal God Army conducting wars in the various domains of Tianshu. If the God Ming Meng were to assemble these ten clans, the Xuange Divine Country could not possibly remain as peaceful as it is now.

Neither the Martial Saint nor Sect Leader Zhu are from the Xuange Divine Country, nor do they worship Xuange.

In the eyes of Saint Lian Chu, they were like those who walk barefoot and fear not the discomfort of shoes.

If Lian Chu dared to touch the people of his Ming God Clan, it is likely that even the Divine Lords and Lords of Divine City in his territory would suffer the consequences!

“Sect Leader Zhu, someone claiming to be your friend has an urgent matter and requests to see you,” Qin Zuo approached and said to Zhu Minglang.

Zhu Minglang, puzzled, temporarily stepped down from the city wall and followed Qin Zuo to a secluded place.

Under the trees, Zhu Minglang saw a woman wearing a silk hat, with a mature and alluring figure. When Zhu Minglang clearly saw her face, he showed a somewhat surprised expression.

This was none other than Nie Xiaoxuan, the Sect Master of the Crane Frost Sect.

What was she doing here?

Zhu Minglang remembered he had shown her a clear path, told her to find the Zhu Heavenly Officer and settle down in Li Chuan for the time being…

After arriving at the Divine Capital, Zhu Minglang also received some letters sent by Zheng Yu. Zheng Yu always had the habit of writing to friends, and she also kept Zhu Minglang informed about the situation on the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent and some issues Li Chuan was facing. Of course, she would mention some familiar faces from the Ancestral Dragon City-State as well.

From the letters, it appeared Zheng Yu and Zhu Heavenly Officer were working very well together. They had driven out all the foreign divine organizations’ God’s Descendants, Demi-gods, and Quasi-gods. Additionally, the cultivation level across the entire continent and land had markedly improved with the excavation of Spiritual Rhyme.

Now, if not the whole of Supreme Court, at least Li Chuan Continent had caught up with the Sparrow Wolf Divine Territory and had even seen the emergence of several Demi-gods and Quasi-gods. Zhu Heavenly Officer had stepped into the God Child Level, becoming the sole god-maker in all of Tianshu!

“How come you are here?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“Benefactor, Master Zhu needs someone to move around Tianshu God Domain, conveying some important messages and as much as possible to understand the trends in the entire Tianshu God Domain. So, I came to the Xuange Divine Capital. Although I am not qualified to attend the Leader’s Conference, at least I can learn more about what’s going to happen in the God Domain,” Nie Xiaoxuan said.

“I see. You’ve had a long journey here, and I appreciate it,” Zhu Minglang nodded.

“Not at all. For us from Bai Sang Country, living a peaceful life in a quiet city is already a great blessing. How could this bit of traveling be considered difficult? Benefactor, there’s an important matter I need to discuss with you…” Nie Xiaoxuan said.

“Please, go ahead,” Zhu Minglang nodded.

“The people from Flaunting God Sky Peak have never let us off, and they have also been investigating the annihilation of Hongtian Peak and Black Heaven Peak. Somehow, using some Divine Skills, they found Li Chuan, and it seems they have become aware of your connection to Li Chuan,” Nie Xiaoxuan said.

“No worries, the people from Lin Ji Continent have already been traveling towards Supreme Court. With their strength, even if a True God harbors any ill-intentions, they will have to pay a heavy price,” Zhu Minglang stated.

“But there is this – some friends in the City of Faith informed me through the Thousand-Li Dark Silkworm’s messaging that three Holy Armies of the Ming God Clan’s Descendant Clans are traversing the Four Desolate Regions. Although they seem to be heading to occupy the Sparrow Wolf Divine Territory, the direction they’re marching…” Nie Xiaoxuan said.

Zhu Minglang frowned.

“The position of Sparrow Wolf God should have already had a candidate, and it was even ordained by Hua Chong Sacred Head. This new True God belongs to the Tianshu God Manor faction. Surely Ming Meng wouldn’t be so direct as to oppose Tianshu God Manor, right?”

So the purpose of his Three Descendants Holy Army wasn’t for the Sparrow Wolf Divine Territory.

“No wonder Star Painting asked me to be more careful of Flaunting lately,” Zhu Minglang suddenly understood.

Flaunting had clearly been investigating his background.

And he had even extended his inquiries to the Supreme Court and Li Chuan.

The locations of Hongtian Peak and Black Heaven Peak are very close to Li Jiting, separated only by the Zhongxin Giant City and the Four Desolate Regions. Flaunting must have sought out people like Dream Masters or Seeker Masters, using some methods unknown to him, to find out that he had come from the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent…

Then, he informed Ming Meng of this news.

Although Ming Meng resided in the capital of Xuange Divine Country, waiting for people from Kaiyang to arrive, he could also issue orders to deploy the ten great descendant God Clan Armies.

Xuange Divine Country isn’t easily assailable for him in the short term since they had just suffered a defeat, but other God Countries, other territories, other continents, and lands are all at the mercy of his powerful Ming God Clan Army, ripe for wanton trampling!

“Did you tell Zhu Heavenly Officer and Zheng Yu about this?” Zhu Minglang asked.

“I’ve already informed them through the Wanli Black Silkworm signals; they knew about it immediately,” Nie Xiaoxuan said.

Wanli Black Silkworm is a special type of silkworm capable of traveling through Dark Vortexes, making it extremely convenient for long-distance transmissions. Nie Xiaoxuan raised many of these Wanli Black Silkworms.

“How soon can the Three Descendants Holy Army reach Li Chuan?” Zhu Minglang inquired.

“According to their marching route, they should arrive at North Utmost Ridge within three days,” Nie Xiaoxuan replied.

“So soon?”

“They have the Divine Oracle Flag,” Nie Xiaoxuan explained.

The migration speed on Lin Ji Continent couldn’t match theirs.

At the very least, they would need a month.

Peng Chen and Pengwu wouldn’t be able to partake in this battle.

Of course, Zhu Minglang wasn’t without countermeasures.

Ming Meng’s sudden deployment of troops to strike at Li Chuan only had one purpose: to force Zhu Minglang’s hand, easing the pressure he was putting on Ming Meng.

The most straightforward method would be for Zhu Minglang to have a talk with Ming Meng, promising not to expel him in exchange for an order to stop the invasion.

But Zhu Minglang didn’t want to be caught by this Achilles’ heel, especially since this matter was related to Flaunting God. It was Flaunting who had sold out his secrets to Ming Meng…

Zhu Minglang was now very angry.

Originally, considering that Ming Meng’s good brother took a hit for him, Zhu Minglang could have expelled him from the Divine Capital quite amicably.

But now Zhu Minglang was thinking about more than just expulsion!

“Lian Shengjun!” Zhu Minglang called out loudly.

“Your subordinate is here.” Lian Shengjun was very perceptive, already referring to himself as a subordinate.

“Inform the entire army, I, Zhu Qingzhuo, am going to attack White Holy City. Capture Ming Meng alive within three days!” Zhu Minglang said coldly.

“What????” Lian Chu thought he had misheard.

Capture Ming Meng God alive????

Within three days???

“Should we first consult the Ritual Saint?” Lian Chu suggested.

“Xuan Ge God himself ordered me to reclaim White Holy City, and the God Forbidden Army is under my command. What’s the point in consulting that coward, Ritual Saint?” Zhu Minglang retorted.

“Those two thousand Divine Sword Army soldiers, we do not fear. But Ming Meng is a God-level existence; our entire Divine Forbidden Army and God Army from Xuange Country Capital combined may not even be a match for him alone!” Lian Chu pointed out.

“Why don’t you resign your position as Saint King first, then slowly discuss your thoughts with me?” Zhu Minglang smiled.

“Everything according to Master Zhu’s arrangements,” Lian Chu hastily responded.

“Leave Ming Meng God to me, you deal with the Divine Sword Army.”

“Your subordinate… may I notify several Saint Honors?”

“Suit yourself. Orders to attack with full force, capture Ming Meng alive!”

Lian Chu felt like he was having difficulty breathing. Really issue the order?

He didn’t want to!

He dared not to provoke Ming Meng!!

When War Saint perished, why did he have to stand up for him? This Master Zhu better not drag him into a death sentence!

…

To deal with Ming Meng, Zhu Minglang certainly needed to seek some reliable allies.

The first person Zhu Minglang thought of was Nan Yuso.

If she was going to ascend to Ming Meng’s position and become one of the Nine Star Gods, it would be fitting for her to help diminish Ming Meng’s prestige.

These days, as she had to avoid being detected by the Divine Senses of Xuan Ge and Knowledge Saint Honor, Nan Yuso was cooped up at home, almost growing mushrooms. She had been hoping Zhu Minglang would take her out to have fun. Considering how she had exaggerated things with Xuan Ge God, Zhu Minglang decisively left her at home to reflect on her actions.

Want to go out with him, yet she didn’t even know how to behave herself?

“Zhu Lang, I was wrong, okay? From now on, whoever you want to see naked, I’ll help you with it. Besides, I absolutely won’t tattle to my sisters,” Nan Yuso said cheerfully, flitting over to Zhu Minglang like a happy little magpie upon seeing him.

Zhu Minglang’s face darkened.

What nonsense is she talking about!

“This is a serious matter. We need to capture Ming Meng within three days; otherwise, Ancestral Dragon City-State could be in danger,” Zhu Minglang said to Nan Yuso.

“What happened?” Nan Yuso dropped her carefree smile and seriously asked.
