Chapter 143: Chaos Under Heaven

Chapter 143: Total Chaos in the World

This status of being wanted by the Great Qian imperial court was only lifted after Emperor Yang Wei ascended the throne. It was then that the Heavenly fiend organization was summoned to subjugate Wu Hong, allowing the siblings Huang Hu and Huang Ling to meet the historical Wu Hong once again.

Huang Ling’s face turned pale at Huang Hu’s words, but her inner conviction remained unshakeable. "Brother, I will say it again: I am going to marry Wu Hong."

Huang Ling’s tone was utterly firm, leaving no room for discussion.

Huang Hu’s resolve wavered slightly. Wu Hong had no idea what marriage meant and suddenly asked, "Sister Ling, what does getting married mean?"

"Ah, you foolish sister, look at his current state! Where is his former glory? The current Prince Wuwei is actually the fake Wu Hong whom everyone in the martial arts world once loathed! He has taken the throne! That fake Wu Hong seems to harbor a deep, burning hatred for your lover. He has completely taken control of the former Prince Wuwei’s Mansion, solely to deal with him. Do you think he still has any chance of making a comeback with just his own strength? Even if he were to advance to the Xiantian realm, it would be exceptionally difficult. Now, everyone knows that the five great nations also have their backing forces in the Origin Realm. Over the past two years, experts from the Origin Realm have continuously sealed their powers and descended to the mortal realm to support the five great nations. If our Heavenly Fiend organization did not also have a decent foundation in the Origin Realm, do you think the Heavenly Fiend organization could still exist? Even so, our Heavenly Fiend organization can only survive in the cracks of this turbulent era."

Huang Hu revealed various secrets regarding Wu Hong’s two-year disappearance. Two years ago, the heavens and the earth were in turmoil, and a void directly appeared in the sky. That void was a passage leading directly to the Origin Realm. The once-stable barriers between realms were shattered, and Xiantian experts successively descended to the mortal realm to support their respective factions.

The overall spiritual energy for cultivation in the Tianxing Continent became hundreds of times more abundant than before, and people’s cultivation speeds advanced by leaps and bounds! One Xiantian expert after another emerged and ascended to the Origin Realm. Origin Realm envoys frequently descended. Although their powers were sealed at the peak of the Houtian Great Circle, their actual combat strength was still not something ordinary Houtian Great Circle experts could offend. Every envoy possessed power at the absolute pinnacle of the Houtian Great Circle—the highest limit of energy permitted to exist in this world.

The Great Qian Dynasty, the Great Han Dynasty, the Great Ming Dynasty, the Great Tang Dynasty, and the Great Jin Dynasty all possessed foundational forces in the Origin Realm. Origin Realm envoys descended one after another to guide experts or moldable talents within these major nations. Furthermore, it was not just the major dynasties that had roots; even various sects had deep foundations in the Origin Realm. Most of these sects were ancient and possessed long histories. Newly established sects, by contrast, had no foundation whatsoever in the Origin Realm. For instance, the once overwhelmingly powerful Demonic Cult of Black Wood Cliff in the mortal realm had been established very recently and thus had no existing foundation in the Origin Realm. Consequently, after Wu Hong disappeared, when the Origin Realm envoys descended, the sect instantly became a vassal to the Great Qian Dynasty.

The Number One Alliance in the World had a long history, and its backer in the Origin Realm was the largest alliance of rogue cultivators in the Origin Realm—one that even the Origin Realm forces of the five great nations dared not provoke lightly. Those sects like Kunlun, Penglai, Xiaoyao, and Qingyang, which had previously been considered mere second-rate sects in the mortal world, possessed such ancient histories that people had almost forgotten their past glory. However, once heaven and earth were connected, people abruptly realized that the backers of these fallen second-rate martial sects were overwhelmingly powerful in the Origin Realm. They were all major teachings with countless Daoist practitioners and countless experts. In just two short years, several previously insignificant sects had rapidly grown powerful with the support of Origin Realm experts, and many individuals had already achieved the Xiantian realm.

If Wu Hong were sober right now and heard Huang Hu’s words, he would undoubtedly feel extreme regret. His passing fancy from two years ago had actually triggered a transformation of heaven and earth, directly connecting the realms and producing unpredictable changes purely because of that spatial lightning tribulation.

"Brother, I know everything you are saying! But even if Wu Hong perishes because of this, I am determined to follow him to the death, because your sister is already pregnant!" Huang Ling said with a blushing face.

"What? Sister, what did you say?" Huang Hu’s jaw dropped in sheer disbelief.

Experts at the peak of the Houtian Great Circle possessed absolute clarity regarding their own bloodlines and internal bodily conditions. If a husband and wife were both Houtian Great Circle experts and engaged in intimate relations at the ripe moment, they could perceive some of the most minute changes within their bodies. Of course, this sensation could only be perceived from a single perspective—that of the woman—and was extremely difficult to detect unless one paid special, intentional attention.

However, the vital essence within Wu Hong’s body was immensely powerful; billions of essence particles existed, and every single one of them was mutually hostile to the others. Even though Huang Ling had been completely intoxicated by passion last night, she had also been astonished to discover that the ultimate victor had successfully fused with one of her eggs. This made Huang Ling extremely certain that she was already pregnant.

Yet Huang Hu still found it almost impossible to believe that such a thing could happen to his sister. Under normal circumstances, such a realization required deliberate observation. For the two of them to have been so passionate last night, yet for Huang Ling to be able to confirm her pregnancy with such certainty, left Huang Hu stunned.

A moment later, Huang Hu let out a sigh and said, "Sister, I never expected you to care this much about this brat. Very well! I will grant your wish. Name the date."

Upon suddenly hearing her brother’s consent, Huang Ling’s face lit up with joy. Orphaned early on, she had depended on Huang Long, Huang Hu, and the leader of the Heavenly Fiend organization, Old Man Lone Star, for survival, and she generally followed her brothers' advice implicitly. Today, when she proposed marrying Wu Hong, she had felt somewhat saddened by the opposition of the brother she usually respected so much. Though she had ultimately resolved to elope with Wu Hong even if her brother refused their marriage, she had not expected Huang Hu to agree after all.

Exhilarated, Huang Ling ran over to Huang Hu, hugged his arm, and said, "Brother, you are the best!"

Huang Hu was momentarily dazed. Only he knew his sister’s true personality. Normally, she was aloof, cold as ice, and carried herself with a detached superiority that made people keep their distance in awe. Yet at this moment, she displayed the playful demeanor of a younger sister teasing her older brother.

Huang Hu could only shake his head helplessly, walk over to Wu Hong, and pat him on the shoulder. "Brother, you are truly formidable, and fierce enough and tough enough to make my sister surrender to you completely. The reputation of Young Master Wu is truly well-deserved."

As someone who had only just experienced womanhood for the first time, how could Huang Ling fail to understand the implications of the words Huang Hu had emphasized so heavily—"fierce" and "tough"? The words instantly brought back burning memories of her wild passion with Wu Hong the previous night. Blushing fiercely, Huang Ling cast a stealthy glance at Wu Hong, only to find him looking like a block of wood, completely oblivious to the meaning behind Huang Hu’s words.

Seeing Wu Hong’s wooden expression, Huang Hu shook his head and said, "Sister, I truly don't know what kind of magic this brat possesses to make you adore him so much. Ma Luocheng, the son of the Earthly Fiend’s Yama, has been infatuated with you all this time, yet you couldn't even be bothered to give him a single look—"

"Hmph—him? Even if every single man in the world were to die off, I would never take a fancy to him."

The twin killer organizations of Heaven and Earth had originally split apart, but due to the connection of heaven and earth, the branches of the Heaven and Earth assassins in the Origin Realm had forced the two organizations to merge once again, strictly forbidding any internal strife.

To Wu Hong, this news was undoubtedly a bombshell. However, having suffered head trauma and lost a portion of his memories while passing through the spatial lightning tribulation, his past recollections were scattered, and all of this seemed to have nothing to do with him anymore. Yet some things do not cease happening simply because a person has lost their memory; the karma Wu Hong had sown in the past would inevitably have to be repaid.

"Brother, let’s set it for ten days from now, the first day of next month!" Huang Ling said excitedly.

Huang Hu was slightly startled. "Isn't that a bit too rushed? There won't be enough time to invite the heroes of the world!"

"Brother, are you foolish? Wu Hong’s identity is sensitive! The more low-key, the better! I only need him to marry me; as for some grand wedding ceremony, I don't care about that at all," Huang Ling said, her face blushing crimson.

Reminded by Huang Ling, Huang Hu realized her reasoning was completely sound. Indeed, the fewer people who knew about their wedding, the better; it should not be extravagant. If Wu Hong’s true identity were exposed, it would bring incalculable danger to the Heavenly Fiend organization.
