Chaotic World Book

Chapter 806: 746: Wherever We Stand Is the Capital City

Chapter 806: Chapter 746: Wherever We Stand Is the Capital CityYue Hongling sometimes wonders what her relationship with the Four Symbols Sect would be if Zhao Changhe didn’t exist.

On the level of power, the Four Symbols Sect and Tang’s faction are adversaries, and it’s said privately that the Vermilion Bird and Tang are lifelong enemies.

But in terms of the worldly society, she and the Four Symbols Sect seem more like the main characters in the worldly stories.

Without Zhao Changhe, she might not go to Beimang, and Xia Chichi might not either, so their first confrontation in Beimang with Luo Qi might never happen. But Xia Chichi’s connection with the Four Symbols Sect stands, and she might have been directly taken and initiated by the Vermilion Bird during the battle at Luo Family Manor.

As a famous demon sect in the worldly society, the chaotic things they do are numerous. Given her temperament, there’s a great possibility she would clash with them in the Central Plains, possibly starting with provoking the newly initiated Holy Daughter Xia Chichi and her Azure Dragon Hall minions, getting tangled with other Twenty-Eight Constellations, eventually confronting the Vermilion Bird Venerable, getting defeated and fleeing, only to return after gaining Creation from the Sword Emperor’s inheritance and striking back…

Many old worldly stories are like that, generally aligning with her and the Four Symbols Sect’s positioning and mindset, the only difference being that the main characters in those stories are usually male.

As for finding out in the end that the Four Symbols Sect is actually a righteous army against the tyrant ruler, and because the tyrant is unjust, whether she could reconcile with the Four Symbols Sect to resist the ruler… that would be another story.

But because of Zhao Changhe’s presence, both she and the Four Symbols Sect deliberately avoided each other, and for such a long time, she unexpectedly met this great Demon King whom she once imagined she would have to defeat and escape from, but now the conflict seems more suited to someone else’s backyard… Beyond that, this Demon King turns out to be one of the most trustworthy people, a strangely peculiar feeling.

Huangfu Qing looked at the girl in red at the street corner, and his first thought was “that red dress looks really gaudy,” then he wished he could slap himself.

, with no way out.”

Yue Hongling was smiling, but Vermilion Bird could see the sadness and loneliness in her eyes.

Her master sold her out.

Vermilion Bird felt a sense of absurdity. Yue Fenghua must have lost his mind, really believing others respected him for his own merits? Everyone is only interested in Yue Hongling! Once she’s dead, who will care about Luoxia Manor? They’re blinded by years of glory.

Yue Hongling continued: “If I were alone, I would consult with Changhe. But since Venerable is here, it’s a perfect setup—if I enter Honglu Temple to confront Bo’e, with Venerable nearby, he can loudly exclaim ‘how come there’s the presence of Bo’e here’, then come to assist me. I will be fine, and Bo’e’s presence in Chang’an will be exposed to the world, nullifying the Li Family’s façade, forcing them to make an immediate choice.”

Vermilion Bird was stirred and deliberately said: “What if their choice is to protect Bo’e and kill us?”

Yue Hongling laughed freely: “We still have Changhe in the shadows. As long as the commotion is big, he will support us, so how can mere Chang’an constrain us? It will just make the Li Family’s plan for a clean image fail, and in the battle for people’s hearts in the world, we’ve already won half.”

Vermilion Bird was already far away. Yue Hongling faintly heard her response: “Okay.”

The truth was, the commotion didn’t need to be big, as Zhao Changhe was already nearby. He was worried about Yue Hongling encountering Bo’e, so he hurried here.

Both parties acted separately, yet their clues converged at a single point.

Not quite there yet, a blinding sword light shot from the sky into Honglu Temple: “Barbarian heads roll!”

The Wei Changming who discreetly warned Yue Hongling about Bo’e inside was scared out of his wits. What’s up with this woman? I risked a lot to warn you to flee, remembering this favor after you leave would be a gain for me! How dare you confront Bo’e knowing he’s inside, are you crazy?

Oh, seeing this sword, has this woman reached the Imperial Realm? That might be okay… but at most you’ve just entered the Imperial Realm, while Bo’e could be at the late stage, and how many elite and traps are set in his home base? Heading in like this, can you still gain the upper hand?

While thinking this, a terrifying burst of Qi Force erupted inside Honglu Temple. In an instant, lightning thundered, the courtyard walls collapsed, and it spread to Zhuque Avenue.

Seemingly far away, Vermilion Bird suddenly turned back, shouting loudly, her voice carried for miles: “How can Bo’e be in your Li Family’s Honglu Temple! We Dahan temporarily suspended past grudges to ally with you, thinking you intended to break off with the Hu, yet you’re still colluding in secret, a treacherous move!”

This was almost heard within half of Chang’an, leaving everyone stunned. Li Boping in the hall was in shock, while Wei Changming over here was momentarily dazed, and a hint of delight flashed in his eyes.

Vermilion Bird’s words rang with righteousness; she transformed into a raging blaze, soaring across the long street straight to Honglu Temple.

“Boom!” Flames erupted, engulfing Honglu Temple in a sea of fire; any ambush or mechanism became null and void.

Bo’e’s voice finally sounded: “Vermilion Bird, Yue Hongling… This is Chang’an, not your Capital…”

Before the words were finished, he felt a sudden sense of danger.

Turning his head, on the far rooftop, there was ‘Qin Jiu’, who appeared yesterday at Louguan Platform, reportedly a legitimate Buddhist disciple, drawing a bow and aiming at his throat.

Is this Chang’an?

As long as we are here, this is the Capital!
