Chapter 511: Chapter 288: The World is Always Impermanent

Quantai City Tavern.

In the bustling market, King of Qi, Li Shang, and Ye Chen reserved a private room and ordered some drinks to enjoy here.

The flavor of the drinks from the Death Realm was very light, heavily diluted with water.

In the Death Realm, alcohol was an extremely precious commodity, hard to obtain, whereas water was conjured through magic.

Fortunately, with their considerable influence, they still managed to get some strong liquor.

The surroundings were noisy, everyone bearing their own sorrows.

These inhabitants of the Ghost Face Realm either complained about unfair superiors or lamented their aimless existence, bemoaning the scarce cultivation resources they received.

After finishing their drinks, life had to go on.

Those who could vie for such rare positions were all prodigies from big families or sects.

Yet, they understood that in the Death Realm, no one dared to call themselves prodigies.

Because twenty years ago, it was the most thrilling era in the entire cultivation world with Heavenly Pride emerging frequently. Several kings fought in the Death Realm, contending for the ultimate Royal Decree.

Ye Chen drank down a bowl of strong liquor, feeling the burn in his throat, “Li Shang, stop looking like someone who’s lost his dear mother.”

Li Shang angrily retorted, “How can I not have the look of someone who’s lost his mother? My actual mother’s death didn’t weigh on me as heavily as this. This is a matter of obliterating a country!”

“Thinking back a few years, I was still an inexperienced young man, cultivating peacefully under my master’s guidance.”

“It’s like killing in the north was just child’s play compared to annihilating a country.”

“We both hail from royal families. Who doesn’t know that each country is established by Heavenly Destiny?”

“My Li Country followed Demon Suppressing True Monarch through a hundred years of war before it could establish itself.”

“Just like our master, who vanquished several kings and dominated the world. And now, I have to destroy a country that has existed for thousands of years!”

Ye Chen smiled, “At least you still have time, and when it’s due, all our fellow disciples will surely help you.”

Thinking this, Li Shang looked towards King of Qi, “Brother King of Qi, you won’t just stand by when the time comes, right?”

King of Qi laughed, “Not to mention my Qi Country borders Water Country. A battle involving Wen Country and Water Country will surely affect Qi Country.”

“Simply because we are from the same sect, I will help.”

“Moreover, I’m quite interested in the event of erasing a country, wanting to witness the downfall myself. It serves as a reminder never to slack off.”

“According to our master’s judgment, Water Country won’t just sit back and be destroyed, they will surely take military action first.”

“Oh, isn’t the supreme commander of this annihilation campaign right here?”

“Commander Li, what’s your plan for then? It’d be good for me to prepare early!”

Li Shang laughed loudly, “Brother King of Qi, stop teasing. Right now, I’m like a headless fly.”

“Faced with annihilation of a mighty nation, I only feel clueless.”

“When I was young, I always dreamed of being like my master, leading a cavalry across ten thousand miles, victorious in every battle, executing kings and paving my path on mountains of corpses, my ambition piercing the skies!”

“But now that it’s actually my turn, I’m totally clueless.”

“After coming to the Death Realm, I was even hunted by my master for seven years, only to realize my own insignificance.”

“Unaware of where to start or finish.”

King of Qi just smiled, listening to his two junior brothers venting their heavy responsibilities.

Li Shang continued, “I bid farewell to our master yesterday, I visited the Undying Dragon Cavalry, the sight of such military forces chilled me to the bone.”

“They are rumored to be capable of executing King-level fighters!”

“In all of the world, this force is unique, undefeated in all battles, unparalleled.”

“Across the entire Nanli, across the entire Death Realm, the ground is littered with the bones of prodigies they’ve trampled.”

“I really don’t know how our master managed to subdue them.”

“To have such a formidable army heed my commands, how arduous is that?!”

“In their eyes, I’m just a child.”

Ye Chen played with the cup in his hand, saying, “This plain drinking really is tasteless, lacking side dishes.”

King of Qi laughed, “This establishment does have side dishes, it’s just that we can’t get any.”

Ye Chen curiously asked, “This place actually has meat?”

King of Qi replied, “Dragon meat, no less!”

Ye Chen exclaimed, “Does the military back this establishment?”

King of Qi nodded, “Anyone who can get dragon meat is undoubtedly from the military.”

Li Shang immediately stood up, “I’ll see if I can get some.”

A moment later, King of Qi and Ye Chen heard laughter from downstairs, “Where did this kid come from, daring to ask for dragon liver?”

“It’s laughable!”

“This dragon liver was obtained by storming through Heavenly Dragon City and defeating tens of thousands of dragons; do you think you are worthy?”

King of Qi and Ye Chen headed downstairs upon hearing this and saw Zuo Chuan berating Li Shang.

Zuo Chuan was aware that Li Shang was about to become the overlord of the Death Realm, but he was not easily impressed.

Changing the overlord in Death Realm had occurred several times, yet it was unheard of for anyone to command the Undying Dragon Cavalry.

Even Ji Ru couldn’t achieve that.

The Undying Dragon Cavalry was quick to anger, volatile and harbored a deep penchant for violence, now hearing Li Shang demanding dragon liver, they felt provoked.

“If it weren’t for the fact that you are a disciple of Prince Wen, I would have killed you already!”

“Leave quickly, while I’m still not enraged.”

Drunk, Ye Chen shouted, “How dare you look down on us, don’t underestimate people!”

Zuo Chuan laughed, “If you want dragon liver, it’s simple. I’ll call someone over, you send someone out, and if you win, I’ll acknowledge that you’re not just some kids.”
