The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 949 - 444: Order, the War Has Begun (Part 2)

Chapter 949: Chapter 444: Order, the War Has Begun (Part 2)

His spirituality was gradually reaching saturation, and he could already prepare for the ritual to ascend to the Sixth Rank.

This trip to Hokkaido to arrest the Pharmacist was preparation for his advancement.

There were still many things to do next, and he couldn’t rest yet.

Bang.

The bathroom door suddenly swung open.

Gu Jianlin was pulled inside and pinned against the wall.

Warm water poured down from the showerhead, streaming along his tousled hair and face, soaking his shirt.

Tang Ling’s wet white hair partly covered her beautiful eyes with messy bangs, her face fair as snow with a slight blush. She wrapped her tall and graceful figure with a towel, her other hand propped against the wall.

Their faces were very close, their breaths intertwined.

"I didn’t want to say these words to you because I thought it might be too sentimental."

Tang Ling gazed into his eyes, leaning close to his ear, her breath like orchids, but her voice had a crystalline quality: "I don’t care what your relationship is with that woman, nor am I interested in what happened in the Divine Ruins. But no matter what happens, as long as you don’t betray me, I won’t betray you."

She paused: "Never."

Gu Jianlin was stunned for a moment, vaguely guessing why she said these words to him.

It could be considered a comfort.

Or it could be a confession.

Gu Jianlin was silent for a moment: "Thank you."

Tang Ling acknowledged with a hum, crossing her arms and staring at him.

Gu Jianlin, puzzled: "What is it?"

"Aren’t you going out? Do you want to shower together with me?"

Tang Ling said expressionlessly, "Or does our esteemed Mr. Qilin want me to bathe you?"

Gu Jianlin, rarely embarrassed, swiftly flickered away.

Only the sound of the shower remained in the bathroom. Tang Ling raised her head, letting the warm water flow over her delicate skin. The earlier ambiguous scene replayed in her mind, her cheek’s blush becoming more pronounced, and she smiled quietly.

The black Mercedes started its engine, and the driver already got in to leave.

Tang Zixuan sat on the sofa’s armrest. As the head of a prominent family, he naturally exuded a certain authority and demeanor. At this moment, he said solemnly, "Well, this is it. Our grand Tang Family is completely finished. We, as a couple, will have to travel the world with our daughter, becoming wild Ascenders."

If this were ancient times, it would be called becoming bandits.

Of course, he was not complaining, just a bit wistful.

"After all, the Order World isn’t safe anymore."

Xu Xiu sighed softly.

The actions of the Bai Ze Clan were seen by everyone.

They claimed whoever was a threat and killed them.

No opportunity for explanation whatsoever.

The so-called order had actually collapsed into a brutal divine rule over humanity.

In other words, this had returned to a dark age for humanity.

Even a prominent family like the Tang Family might not be able to protect themselves in such chaos.

Leaving the order might not be entirely bad.

But the problem is, they have become wild Ascenders, about to embark on a journey of escape around the world.

What a twisted fate.

"Dear guests, please be prepared."

The driver said with a smile, "We are about to depart."

Tang Zixuan held his wife’s hand and frowned, "Where are we going? Where is my daughter?"

The driver replied politely, "The lady boss... I mean, Miss Tang is still bathing and will join you shortly. Our destination is Magic City, and there is a high likelihood we’ll take the water route."

The Tang couple was taken aback, expecting to escape the world, not expecting to head to Magic City.

That’s the stronghold of the Order World!

"You’ve misunderstood. We never intended to flee. Our purpose this time is revenge." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The driver smiled slightly.

Tang Zixuan thought these people were indeed insane. Suddenly, he saw a hunched old man in the convoy ahead, his features were as shadowed as a vulture. He leaned on a decayed cane, and with his other hand behind his back, he twirled an ancient Copper Coin with his fingers, wielding an unquestionable authority.

"Si Family."

Xu Xiu said softly.

As someone from the family circle, they obviously recognized this great master from the Dark World.

Old Master Si’s greatest strength does not lie in combat power, but in cunning and divination.

It was unexpected that the person supporting that young man turned out to be him.

It seems the Si Family’s defection to the You Ying Group is true.

Willing to betray the Red King, just to invest in that young man.

The couple exchanged a glance, as if seeing a glimmer of hope in each other’s eyes.

Tokyo Shinjuku, snowflakes fell gently, the long street was frost white.

Bam!

The man’s head was slammed onto the hard asphalt pavement, countless terrifying cracks spread out, blood flowed from the gaps and stood out shockingly in the snow.

It was a noble man, wearing a robe symbolizing Shintoism, with a pattern of eight spiraling jade plates on his back, yet at this moment, he was crawling like a wild dog, completely unable to move.

If a believer of the Orochi Society stood here, they would be appalled.

Because this man was precisely their Tian Zhao Ming.

"That’s all you’ve got, how dare you come to me trying to act tough? Let me tell you, your Ying Province laws don’t apply to me. Even if I kill you, I don’t have to pay or go to jail."

Huai Yin squatted on the ground, pressing his head down like a chick, chuckling carelessly: "Remember, in front of my Master, the Orochi Society is nothing. You are not qualified to cooperate with her; all you can do is be servants. When servants become unruly, the master shall kill a few of your offspring as a pastime, that’s only rightful. Did Susano dare to complain when my Master was alive? When she wanted to kill his son, he obediently handed her the knife."

"You think you’re capable just because you consider yourselves part of the Order?"

He sneered: "Without my Master’s order, dare you even call it order?"

Bam!

Tian Zhao Ming’s head was again slammed to the ground, reverberating loudly in the sky.

He had already been forced to kowtow a hundred times.

"The Bai Ze Clan is indeed remarkable, but do they actually take you seriously?"

Huai Yin shook his head: "You can’t even pass my gate, let alone my junior? Let me secretly tell you, after two hundred years of slumber, my junior’s strength has already far exceeded mine."

Tian Zhao Ming was terrified, unexpectedly missing such a crucial piece of information.

Of course, Huai Yin was just lying through his teeth.

He’s clear about the state of Jiang Yanli.

If he doesn’t exaggerate the power of the Red King now, the Order surely won’t invest heavily against them.

Bam!

Another loud bang.

Another identical Huai Yin was pressing a woman’s head into the snow.

It was a majestic and elegant woman, also wearing a robe symbolizing Shintoism, now drenched in blood, looking like a ghost crawling out of Hell—terrifying and fierce.

Shintoism, Yue Duming.

The strongest demigod of Ying Province’s natives, in front of the King of Qing, was as weak as a defeated dog.

Being publicly humiliated, forced to kowtow to that great existence.

This was a disgrace of tremendous humiliation.

If Shintoism believers were here, their faith would probably crumble on the spot.

"Behave yourself, don’t think I won’t hit a woman."

Huai Yin’s shadow said indifferently.

"Both of you will kneel here and kowtow, to apologize to my Master."

The cyan Qilin hovered in mid-air, overlooking the world coldly: "I know you two are just vanguards, my foolish junior sent you to test me, right?"

"Perhaps you’re mistaken about one thing, I indeed wish for my Master’s death. Because unless she dies, the supreme position won’t be relinquished. But the problem is, she’s my mother, how can I raise a hand against her?"

Huai Yin’s voice turned fierce, like rumbling thunder, deafeningly loud: "I won’t save her, nor will her pride allow me to save her. But that doesn’t mean I won’t avenge her."

Thunderous roars exploded across the sky, echoing to far corners.

The sound of thunder resounded throughout the world!

Boom!

Even as demigods, Tian Zhao Ming and Yue Duming,

"Gold, silver, platinum."

That mighty cyan Qilin stood at the pinnacle of the world, speaking indifferently like a god: "I’ve been displeased with you for a long time. When I debuted, I vowed to step on the gods beneath my feet, even if it takes a lifetime. Two hundred years have passed, now I wish to see, whether the heavens are higher or I am."

"Between your gods and me, who is truly stronger."

An ancient thunder shook the entire world, only that mighty cyan Qilin roared aloud.

"Order, declared war."
