Chapter 741: Chapter 741 – Sovereign’s Successor
Zhou Fa broke into cold sweat as he felt the sting in his throat.
Gritting his teeth, he said, “I can tell you but you can’t kill me.”
When Zhou Xuanji heard this, he pierced the Proud Mortal Divine Sword deeper, making Zhou Fa grimace in pain.
Zhou Xuanji then expressionlessly said, “My patience is limited.”
He must figure out Zhou Fa’s origin and then uproot it.
Otherwise, some Zhou Zui and Zhou Xing might pop up after he killed Zhou Fa.
“I am the previous Sovereign’s successor. As long as you let me go, I can tell you what will happen in the future!” Zhou Fa, taking a long and deep breath, said in a deep voice.
Zhou Xuanji raised his brow and asked, “Are you kidding me?”
Zhou Fa immediately became infuriated as he lashed out, “I have never deceived anyone in my entire life. You can forget about humiliating me!”
Zhou Xuanji was rendered speechless by his exaggerated reaction.
For some reason, Zhou Xuanji suddenly found Zhou Fa familiar.
I seem to have seen this Kid somewhere.
It’s not the face but the aura!
After giving it a thought, Yang Kai pulled the Proud Mortal Divine Sword from his throat and said, “Tell me, why are you targeting me?”
Wei Yi, who hadn’t spoken all the while, furrowed his brow as he pondered. His eyes flickered with a cold glimmer as he looked at Zhou Fa.
Zhou Fa glanced behind him and said, “Help me kill him, this matter is of great importance.”
The old man in gray immediately cried after hearing this, “Young Master, you…”
But just as he said this, a crystal suddenly pierce through his glabella. Immediately after, his body dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye before he was finally reduced to ashes. Not even a wisp of his soul remained.
Zhou Xuanji and Zhou Fa both turned their gazes at Wei Yi. Both of them were a little terrified.
Was that a divine ability?
“Speak,” Wei Yi said, maintaining a straight face. His current temperament was devoid of all the finesse and elegance. It was as oppressive as Beast Sovereign.
Zhou Xuanji was surprised.
Why is this guy suddenly acting like this?
Did he guess something?
Zhou Fa calmed himself down before speaking, “The last Sovereign surpassed everything and went beyond the Kunlun Origin Court. As I was not affected by time and space, I got selected by him by luck. He hoped that I would become the Sovereign. Therefore, he taught me his legacy. I have learned a supreme divine ability that can let me see the past and the future.”
“The reason why I caused trouble for you is because I have seen the Evil Sky Divine Range’s future and the past of Beast Sovereign. They don’t deserve you. You should belong to me. That’s why I blocked the Evil Sky Divine Range again and again. I haven’t done anything to you because I don’t want to kill you.”
Zhou Xuanji was baffled after hearing this.
Wei Yi also had a strange look on his face.
“Then what’s your relationship with me? Are you just after my aptitude?” Zhou Xuanji patiently asked.
Zhou Fa nodded and said, “You are the strongest genius of the Kunlun Origin Court. In the future, you can become the sword emperor in the true sense, but you trust the Evil Sky Divine Range too much and that will eventually be your downfall.”
He then looked at Wei Yi before continuing, “Not just him, you too will be buried by Beast Sovereign. And the Beast Sovereign will betray you. You will all die at the Void Boundary Palace and no one will collect your corpses.”
Wei Yi remained unmoved. He still looked at him indifferently.
Zhou Xuanji sighed and said, “It’s not convincing. It’s bragging at best, I will send you off to hell then.”
Zhou Fa anxiously cried, “I am speaking the truth. Sovereign will sign a secret agreement with the Mortal Divine Range and Emperor Divine Range to save Origin Court War God. As long as he hands over 115 geniuses, he can save Origin Court War God. After he hands over a hundred geniuses, the Mortal Divine Range will go back on their word and say that it’s insufficient because another Divine Range wants to trample the Evil Sky Divine Range.”
“After hundreds of years of confrontation and helplessness, you will be sent to Mortal Divine Range as bait. In response, the Mortal Divine Range will use Origin Court War God as a shield, which will in turn cause you to be seriously injured and almost die. Your son Zhou Tanhu will become the next victim. In order to save you, he forcefully charged into the Mortal Divine Range and miserably died before you. You will collapse at the sight of this and eventually die in the Mortal Divine Range as well.”
Zhou Xuanji furrowed his brow.
Why is this guy’s bragging sounding more and more true?
Wei Yi’s expression changed as well.
He was very clear about the relation between Beast Sovereign and Origin Court War God.
If Origin Court War God was really held hostage by the Mortal Range, Beast Sovereign might really compromise.
“You can really predict the future? After you say it, won’t it change?” Wei Yi asked, staring at Zhou Fa.
At their level, they already disdained destiny. But Zhou Fa was the successor of the last Sovereign, so he might really have the ability to see the future.
Zhou Fa replied, “Some things have nothing to do with life but are connected with the heart.”
Even if such a thing didn’t happen, the next time Origin Court War God was in danger, Beast Sovereign would still do it.
Wei Yi sunk into silence.
“That’s not right! If you really wanted me to leave the Evil Sky Divine Range, why did you threaten me, again and again? I think you are afraid of death and cooked up a story,” Zhou Xuanji placed the Proud Mortal Divine Sword on Zhou Fa’s neck and sneered.
Zhou Fa sighed and said, “Since you don’t believe me, go ahead. Stop teasing me.”
Zhou Xuanji’s heart suddenly softened after seeing his expression.
With Zhou Fa’s strength, there were many opportunities to kill Zhou Xuanji but he didn’t do so.
And coupled with the reasons he just said, they could also be connected to each other.
It was just that he didn’t believe that his future self would die.
Not only would he die but even his son Zhou Tanhua.
“Actually, there is another reason,” Zhou Fa added. He raised his eyes to Zhou Xuanji. There was a complicated look in his eyes.
“Speak,” Zhou Xuanji said with a cold smile but most of the killing intent in his eyes had receded.
Zhou Fa, gritting his teeth, said in grief and indignation, “In my heart, you have been the strongest existence. But you are still relying on the power of the Evil Sky Divine Range and not the you in my heart.”
Zhou Xuanji was stunned.
What the hell is this!?
Wei Yi came over and asked, “In that case, are you willing to disband Black Sword Court now?”
Zhou Xuanji turned his head, looking at him.
This guy is really not affected by the Exterminating Divine Eyes!?
Time and space has already been frozen by the Exterminating Divine Eyes, but he can still move.
How advanced is his cultivation!?
He had scruples against Wei Yi in his heart.
Wei Yi wouldn’t happen to be here to monitor me?
“No, I must topple the Kunlun Origin Court!” Zhou Fa stated in a deep voice. He had a firm and determined look on his face. No one could change his mind.
Wei Yi walked to him and said coldly, facing each other face to face, “Then tell me, is the current Sovereign still alive?”
Zhou Fa’s expression slightly changed. He looked at him with surprise. Immediately, a look of ridicule appeared on his face.
“So that’s the case, I see why someone like you lowered yourself to be in the Evil Sky Divine Range! You wanted to determine whether Sovereign is alive or not,” Zhou Fa said in a thought-provoking tone, smiling in ridicule.
Zhou Xuanji couldn’t help but wonder, Does Wei Yi have another identity?
“I can tell you that Sovereign disappeared a long time ago. No one knows whether he is alive or dead. If you want to fight for the position of Sovereign, it’s best to stay away from Beast Sovereign,” continued Zhou Fa. He broke into a strange laughter, making it difficult to tell whether he was speaking the truth or making things up.
