King of Creation-Chapter 1613 - 1598: Heaven and Earth Net

Inside the palace south of Shahe City, for a fleeting moment, Ming Tang clenched his iron fists so tightly that they cracked, his expression ferocious, as if he wanted to devour someone.

But it was just that moment, and then it passed.

By the time the gaze of this Liang Wind Patrol Envoy looked over, the savage expression on the face of Marquis of Yellow Wind, Ming Tang, had already returned to normal.

Liang You could swear he wasn’t mistaken; just now, the look in Ming Tang’s eyes was definitely one of someone looking at his father’s murderer, yet in a blink, it was back to normal.

Moreover, this Marquis of Yellow Wind, Ming Tang, had already started evicting guests, "Since this Ye Zhen’s identity is no problem, I must personally go on this visit, so as not to offend him.

A Wind Patrol Envoy like you, Liang Wind Patrol Envoy, is not someone a minor Marquis like me dares to offend. I must treat each and every one of you well, with good food and drink."

Liang You instinctively felt that Ming Tang’s change in expression was suspicious. Something that could cause such a reaction in a battle-hardened Marquis should be worth seeing, so he rolled his eyes and said, "That guy could be considered a colleague, and quite a famous one at that. I, as the envoy, will accompany you, Marquis, so we can get acquainted."

Upon hearing this, Marquis of Yellow Wind, Ming Tang, laughed heartily, "No need to trouble the esteemed Liang Wind Patrol Envoy. I have already prepared music, dance, and fine wine for you at Xiu Shui Pavilion, along with your most beloved pair of twin sisters, who are still untouched!

Enjoy yourself first, I, the Marquis, shall return shortly!"

Leaving you with a knowing glance, Marquis of Yellow Wind, Ming Tang, strode away, with a butler seeing to the needs of Liang Wind Patrol Envoy.

Seeing how insistent Ming Tang was on this matter, Liang You’s curiosity grew even stronger, but after thinking about it, he decided not to involve himself in the messy affairs of these dukes and marquises; the proper thing to do was to enjoy the twin sisters.

"Marquis, should I prepare some gifts?" the Grand Eunuch of the Marquis Mansion, Eunuch Zhi, asked hurriedly as he caught up.

"Prepare gifts?" Marquis of Yellow Wind, Ming Tang, sneered, "Indeed, it is time to prepare good gifts for this old friend."

"Go, carry my Divine Messenger Order to the Heavenly Temple Branch Temple in Shahe City and ask Abbot Zhao Shi to send at least two Divine Masters, a hundred Grand Spirit Masters, and a thousand Spirit Masters. I want to seal Shahe City," Ming Tang commanded sternly.

Grand Eunuch Duan hesitated for a moment; he realized that what the Marquis said earlier was indeed sarcasm, this Ye Commandant was an ’old friend’ of the Marquis.

However, the number of personnel the Marquis was mobilizing shocked him.

Just days ago, even Zhou Dong’s Heavenly Temple forces were stretched thin for the assault on Shahe City.

"Marquis, I will go at once, but having just discreetly requested the Divine Masters from the Heavenly Temple to intervene a few days ago, if we ask them again today, they might..."

"Don’t you get it? I am asking you to go in the name of a Divine Envoy under my command as the Sun and Moon Divine Monarch, not as a Prince of Tianming Marquisate.

Using the identity of a Divine Envoy isn’t about asking; it’s about commanding. Do you understand?" Ming Tang scolded.

Eunuch Zhi bowed deeply, "I understand, Marquis. If we’re going to seal the city, just their manpower won’t suffice; the Prince’s Guards..."

"This guy is from the Heavenly Patrol Department; I don’t want to invite trouble. Remember, no one except my Iron Guards, whom I can fully trust, is to be moved!

Also, make arrangements immediately: after this event, all those involved, including you, should hide in the Little Light Splitting Realm to lie low," Ming Tang instructed.

"Yes, I understand!"

After speaking, Ming Tang glanced sinisterly at Xiu Shui Pavilion, then communicated via Divine Soul Telecommunication, "Send someone to watch over that guy Liang You.

Also, his subordinates, especially those appearing around the Ancient Teleportation Formation, keep a tight watch on all of them. At the first sign of chaos, eliminate them all!" Ming Tang made a slashing gesture.

Eunuch Zhi froze, "Marquis, all of them..."

"All of them!"

"I understand!"

With a few Talisman Communications flying out, countless guards from all directions in the palace started rushing in.

Here, a word about the identity of Ming Tang: Marquis of Yellow Wind, Ming Tang, was granted the title after his meritorious service. Not long after, his father, the second-class Duke Tianming, was granted the fief to establish the Tianming Marquisate. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Over the years, the Tianming Marquisate expanded its territory on all fronts, establishing a broad domain. Ming Tang, besides being the Marquis of Yellow Wind under the Great Zhou’s decree, is also one of the five Princes of the Tianming Marquisate.

However, most of the time, Marquis of Yellow Wind, Ming Tang, operates under his Great Zhou title. The title of Prince of the Tianming Marquisate holds sway only within the Tianming Marquisate and neighboring marquisates.

When in the territories of the Great Zhou, he can’t even enter the gates of an ordinary official’s residence.

As he recalled the grievous events on the True Profound Continent, Marquis of Yellow Wind, Ming Tang continually issued orders.

His hatred for Ye Zhen, who disrupted his plans, ran deep to the bone.

Back then, chosen by the Nine Suns Divine King under the Sun and Moon Divine Monarch and taken as a beloved disciple, he was dispatched to the True Profound Continent—a place with few followers but pure Telekinesis, yet without any recorded information—to serve as a Divine Envoy, tasked with expanding the influence of the Sun and Moon Divine Monarch in the True Profound Continent and gathering followers.

Ming Tang also wished to make great accomplishments.

But the problem was that the lands where those followers resided had no spatial connections, making it impossible to reach by normal methods.

Fortunately, the Nine Suns Divine King could occasionally sense the aura of the standard Soul Artifact, the Sun and Moon Divine Altar, issued by the Heavenly Temple’s Sun and Moon Mountain for the great expansion of followers.

For this reason, the Nine Suns Divine King did not hesitate to expend a trace of Divine Power, using Great Divine Power to break through the endless space and, at the instant he sensed the aura of the Sun and Moon Divine Altar, sent him to the True Profound Continent.

This kind of divine power, which could transport a living person through countless little worlds with just a trace of Divine Power, even for an existence like the Nine Suns Divine King, was immensely exhausting to perform.

The higher the cultivation of the person sent, the greater the consumption.

At that time, his cultivation was at the Peak of the Ninth Stage of the Divine Communication Realm, and to send someone of such cultivation directly to the distant True Profound Continent was beyond even the Nine Suns Divine King’s capability.

Therefore, the Nine Suns Divine King imposed several seals upon him, forcibly limiting his cultivation to the Peak Ninth Stage Establishment Realm, at a half-step to Dao.

Only by sealing his cultivation to this extent could the Nine Suns Divine King possibly send him over safely.

From the fragmentary information obtained through the exceedingly pure telekinesis transmitted from the True Profound Continent, he learned that the highest cultivation on the True Profound Continent was only at the First or Second Stage of the Dao Entrance Realm. With his abilities, he could easily slaughter them.

However, he encountered Ye Zhen.

Originally, his strength was such that he could easily eliminate Ye Zhen.

But after Ye Zhen evaded his numerous killing moves, Ye Zhen used a purple sword light to directly cleave him in two, causing him to lose his physical body.

In the end, he possessed a new body within the Fire Spirit Sect, but was still chased and forced to flee miserably by Ye Zhen and Bai Zizai.

Finally, he chose to return to the Primordial Continent from the Ancient Demon God Hall, escaping back to save his life.

His life was spared, but the mission was a total failure.

Whether it was in extensively recruiting followers or locating the True Profound Continent’s Ancient Teleportation Formation, he accomplished neither, returning utterly defeated.

Moreover, he was defeated at the hands of a mere youngster in the Establishment Realm.

This made the Nine Suns Divine King extremely disappointed. Although he didn’t strip him of his status as a Divine Envoy, his position as a Divine Envoy in the lineage of the Heavenly Temple’s Sun and Moon Mountain became nominal because of this failure.

Fortunately, this great defeat and the nightmarish escape experience had led to a qualitative leap in Ming Tang’s entire being.

He began to cultivate arduously, studied various military strategies and tactics, broadened his knowledge, and gradually emerged, gaining valuable use within his father’s Tianming Marquis Country.

He began to learn and apply, advocating for the strengthening of Tianming Marquis Country, while using its power to extensively recruit followers for the Heavenly Temple’s Sun and Moon Divine Palace lineage; he achieved much merit over the years.

Two years ago, due to his outstanding performance, the Nine Suns Divine King summoned him once and also rewarded him with cultivation pills, essentially forgiving and readmitting him.

His position as a Divine Envoy within the Heavenly Temple’s Sun and Moon Mountain lineage was also reinstated.

This time, his ability to lead experts from Tianming Marquis Country to suddenly attack the economic center Shahe City of the South River Marquisate was primarily due to mobilizing the power of the Heavenly Temple Branch in Shahe City, coordinating from within and outside to capture Shahe City in one stroke.

He controlled the transit hub over millions of miles of territory in the Southern Region, the Ancient Teleportation Formation in Shahe City.

After this battle, throughout Tianming Marquis Country, the call to make him the Heir of Tianming Marquis grew louder and louder.

But for the Marquis of Yellow Wind, Ming Tang, the humiliation on the True Profound Continent had never once been forgotten.

Even though he knew Ye Zhen could not possibly come to the Primordial Continent, whenever he encountered someone named Ye Zhen, he would inspect them closely, at one point even finding pleasure in torturing and killing men named Ye Zhen!

But today, he actually witnessed the spirit image projection of Ye Zhen, who was not supposed to be able to reach the Primordial Continent!

If it weren’t for the spirit image projection activated by the Liang Wind Patrol Envoy, he wouldn’t have dared to believe that was Ye Zhen, whom he wished day and night to torment to his heart’s content!

The appearance of Ye Zhen had been ingrained in his bones.

In this world, there may be many with the same name, but for someone to have the exact same nose, eyebrows, eyes, ears, forehead, and even aura, is simply impossible!

In other words, Ye Zhen, who was not supposed to reach the Primordial Continent, had indeed arrived from the True Profound Continent.

The shocking significance of this was not lost on the Marquis of Yellow Wind, Ming Tang.

Moreover, during his short half-year on the True Profound Continent, he had already discovered that the little world of the True Profound Continent was entirely different from ordinary worlds, potentially hiding an astounding secret.

A talisman communication came down from the sky; Ming Tang glanced at it, and it immediately turned to ash.

This was sent by his Grand Eunuch, Eunuch Zhi, stating that the abbot of the Heavenly Temple Shahe City Branch had received orders, and everyone was in position within fifteen minutes.

"This time, let’s see where you can escape to," Ming Tang murmured. In the short span of a hundred breaths, he had already issued over a hundred extraordinarily detailed orders.

The next instant, Ming Tang’s figure rushed into the sky, where a Heaven and Earth Net had already been laid.

When the net is closed, that will be the moment for him to exact revenge and concurrently gain astonishing benefits!
