Chapter 86 Leaving Hong Clan, Witnessing The Destruction Of A City
[Your father didn't dissuade you from taking revenge against the Star Hall. After all, when you have released your astral pressure before, even your father felt that the chances of defeating you were quite low even for a Level 99 Revered Constellation such as himself.]
[In this ruthless martial arts fantasy world, only power could make oneself feel secure. Knowing that you have more than enough power to protect yourself, your father was assured that your life wouldn't be in danger even if you leave the Hong Clan.]
[After your father gave you permission to leave the Hong Clan to venture into the outside world, you left the Hong Clan. You haven't explored the martial arts fantasy world that much since in the first simulation, you have only died at the hands of the Crimson Blood Skull Cult's Revered Constellation powerhouses.]
[The only city you have ever explored in this world was Qinghu City but you didn't want to return there. After all, you might be able to wipe out the Crimson Blood Skull Cult without your current power, but you didn't want to do unnecessary things like that.]
[For now, the Crimson Blood Skull Cult wasn't your enemy. The Crimson Blood Skull Cult's enemy was the son of prophecy and the Star Hall. It was only due to mistaking you for the son of prophecy and revealing too much of their plans that the Crimson Blood Skull Cult silenced you.]
[You felt that it was not only a waste of time to destroy the Crimson Blood Skull Cult, but it was also a waste of resources. Why should you destroy them when you could possibly form a so-called alliance with them to destroy the Star Hall?]
[You know how much the Crimson Blood Skull Cult hated the Star Hall and since you also hated both the Crimson Blood Skull Cult and the Star Hall, the best method for you to fulfill your revenge against them was none other than letting the two of those idiots fight amongst each other.]
[Seeing that both of your enemies could fight against each other, you were excited to witness such a spectacle! Not only would it save you time, but also resources. The Level 99 Revered Constellation of the Crimson Blood Skull Cult would prove to be a useful tool in defeating the Level 99 Revered Constellation of the Star Hall.]
[With that plan in mind, you decided to spare the Crimson Blood Skull Cult for now. They would show off their worth in the upcoming war against the Star Hall.]
[After you planned that, you used your air superpower to fly as you started to locate the Star Hall's Pope Palace. According to the knowledge you have acquired from the Hong Clan's library, the Star Hall consisted of three main areas of great importance.]
[The Pope Palace was where the Pope resided. The Star Temple was where most of the members of the Star Hall resided, along with the guards and the other subordinates of the Star Hall. On the other hand, the third place was the Constellation Palace where the Revered Constellation Priests of the Star Hall resided.]
[Most of those who lived in the Constellation Palace were those old priests who stayed there for retirement. They would only come out if the Star Hall was in danger or there was a mission that needed their power.]
[You could care less about the Revered Constellations in the Star Hall since they wouldn't pose a threat to you aside from the two Level 99 Revered Constellations in the Star Hall which was none other than the Pope and the Grand Priest.]
[You were confident in your power since your Trinity (Red) talent allowed you to become three Level 98 Revered Constellations at the same time. And since your Level 98 Revered Constellation power was comparable to a Level 99 Revered Constellation, it could be said that you alone could level the entire Star Hall to the ground and leave nothing but debris of the Star Hall's temples and the corpses of the Pope and those old priests.]
[You kept on traveling in the outside world until you arrived in a nearby city. This time, it wasn't Qinghu City but Xin City. You didn't plan to enter Qinghu City yet since you still haven't set your plan of destroying Star Hall into motion. No use provoking those powerhouses from the Crimson Blood Skull Cult when they could be recycled as fodders for your plan.]
[However, when you arrived at Xin City, you noticed that thick black smoke was rising from the city. Not only that, upon closer look, you noticed that the buildings and houses in Xin City were destroyed.]
[The wails of those in pain resounded in the city. Those who had died had their corpses littered on the streets with their blood dying the streets red.]
[There were several men wearing white robes with golden linings holding books that looked like a gospel walking down the streets. When those men encountered a citizen who was still alive, they would chant "Punish the heretics! Cleanse this world from filth! Praise Lord Star God!". Afterward, countless golden chains with spearheads would come out of their gospels and perforate the body of that citizen.]
[Those several men who were likely affiliated with the Star Hall continued their killing spree as they labeled everyone who was in Xin City as "Heretics".]
[You planned to turn a blind eye to them. However, when you noticed one of the men was about to kill a young child while the other man was about to kill a woman holding a baby, you felt that they had gone too far!]
[Although you felt that you were hypocritical in preventing them from killing those innocent people as you didn't bother to kill innocent lives as long as they hindered your plan, but that was assuming they hindered your plan.]
[You weren't a demonic mad psychopath who would kill innocent lives just for your own satisfaction. And because of that, you haven't lost your bottom line yet.]
[Intending to interfere and prevent the death of that young child and the woman holding a baby who was likely a family, you released your astral pressure which made all of those bishops from the Star Hall freeze in place!]
