I Have an All-Knowing Mirror

Chapter 47: Kill him 1

The fate of all living beings is not immutable. As long as Su Yuan intervenes, he can alter its course.

In fact, the fate of all living beings on Blue Star has already undergone one very thorough and massive reversal.

Over a month ago, when Su Yuan inquired about the fate of anyone he randomly encountered, the answer was almost always death in the massacre carried out by the alien forces' interstellar colonization ship.

It was precisely Su Yuan's appearance that changed the future, allowing the majority of current Blue Star inhabitants to survive.

......

Eight hours later.

Chiang Mai Airport.

Aromu disembarked from the plane. After thirty years, returning to the Southern Ocean region, his heart was naturally filled with exceptionally complex emotions.

"Kunlong, the grudge between you and me should be settled today."

Aromu let out a soft sigh and headed directly towards a specific location.That place was the sacred land of the sorcerer lineage in the Southern Ocean nations, and also the place where successive generations of grand sorcerers typically resided. Thirty years ago, Aromu was the master of that very place.

But after losing to Kunlong, the sacred land naturally came under Kunlong's control.

On his way to the sacred land, Aromu was also adjusting his own condition.

Without a doubt, this upcoming life-and-death struggle with Kunlong would inevitably be an unprecedentedly arduous battle, even surpassing the one thirty years prior.

After all, compared to thirty years ago, both Kunlong's and his own strength had improved.

"No matter what, the final victor will definitely be me!"

Aromu felt his spirits lift.

This wasn't due to confidence in his own strength, however.

In fact, if it relied solely on strength, Aromu still believed he was inferior to Kunlong.

But Aromu had Su Yuan standing behind him...

Aromu's confidence came entirely from Su Yuan.

There was no way a powerhouse like Su Yuan would command him to come to the Southern Ocean nations and then just sit back and watch him get beaten to death by Kunlong, right?

How could that be?

Aromu simply didn't believe it.

If Su Yuan wanted him dead, it wouldn't be this troublesome; he could just directly detonate the Mental Force seed planted deep within his soul.

In that case, Aromu's soul would suffer at least severe damage, and with a severely damaged soul, Aromu's outcome would be either instant death or becoming a vegetable.

There were no other possible results.

Therefore.

Aromu believed that Su Yuan must have other backup plans in place.

"Could it be that the master has already dispatched other powerful experts nearby, waiting to act at the critical moment of my fight with Kunlong?"

Aromu thought to himself.

This was also the most likely speculation.

As for why that expert wasn't showing themselves now to join him in surrounding and killing Kunlong...

Kunlong wasn't a fool. If he saw two experts of the same level coming for him, he would definitely turn around and flee.

And Su Yuan's command was to kill Kunlong, which required a certain amount of planning.

Using Aromu as bait to lure Kunlong into going all out, then when Kunlong was powerless to escape, the expert lying in ambush would descend from the heavens, joining forces with him to slay Kunlong...

The more Aromu thought about it, the more excited he became. This was also the most promising method to kill Kunlong.

When experts of the same level clash, determining victory is easy, but life and death... that's much harder.

After all, if one side realizes they can't win, they will certainly run. And if experts of roughly equal strength are determined to flee, the other side basically cannot stop them.

Thirty years ago, even though Aromu's strength was inferior to Kunlong's, didn't he still manage to escape?

"If that's the case, later when I fight Kunlong, I must go all out to create the greatest opportunity for the expert dispatched by the master."

Aromu had already decided on his fighting strategy.

That was to trade injury for injury.

He wouldn't seek to defeat Kunlong, only to lower Kunlong's condition, creating an opportunity for the expert lying in ambush nearby.

......

Soon.

Aromu arrived in front of a majestic temple.

The temple was built among mountain ranges, ancient and vast, enshrining numerous ferocious-looking statues.

This was the sacred land of the sorcerer lineage in the Southern Ocean nations. Successive generations of grand sorcerers had been stationed here, their prestige shaking the surrounding regions.

"Kunlong...."

Aromu gazed distantly at the majestic temple, a look of confusion appearing on his face.

Because even now, he hadn't sensed the slightest trace of Kunlong's aura.

It was important to know that he and Kunlong came from the same lineage; within a certain range of each other, they possessed a mutual sensing ability.

This was also the reason why Aromu hid in Magic City, not daring to secretly return to the Southern Ocean.

But now?

He didn't sense whether Kunlong was in the temple or not.

"Could it be that Kunlong cultivated that secret technique?" Aromu's heart jolted with alarm.

Within the sorcerer lineage's heritage, there existed techniques to shield and isolate one's own aura, which could also block this kind of mutual sensing.

However, to master such a technique required cultivating at least to the peak level of a grand sorcerer.

"Kunlong's strength is much stronger than I imagined."

Aromu felt heavy-hearted. If Kunlong truly was a peak grand sorcerer, then he basically stood no chance.

"But with the expert dispatched by the master here, it's not like there's no opportunity."

Aromu reconsidered, and his heart settled slightly.

No matter how strong Kunlong was, he was just one person.

What was there to fear?

Thinking this, Aromu took a step forward, activated grand sorcerer techniques, and directed a voice like thunder towards the distant temple.

"Kunlong, come out and receive your death!"

The words, uttered one by one, suddenly exploded, shaking the hearts of the many sorcerers inside the distant temple.

"Who is that?"

"That's... Master Aromu..."

"What? Master Aromu, wasn't he thirty years ago..."

As the sacred land of the sorcerer lineage, there were naturally many sorcerers here, all of whom obeyed the commands of the grand sorcerer of the sacred land.

As the master of the sacred land thirty years ago, many sorcerers within the temple still had an impression of Aromu.

"Not coming out?"

Aromu waited for a while and noticed that although the many sorcerers in the distant temple were restless and apprehensive, Kunlong, the master of the sacred land, never showed himself.

"This shouldn't be happening?"

Aromu was puzzled. He understood Kunlong, knew his violent temperament; it was absolutely impossible for him to endure such humiliation.

"Could it be that Kunlong isn't here?"

Aromu thought to himself.

This reason could also explain why he hadn't sensed Kunlong.

While successive generations of grand sorcerers were typically stationed at the sacred land, it didn't mean they were always here without exception.

Sometimes, to handle personal matters, they would also leave secretly.

"Fine, I'll just wait here for Kunlong to return."

Aromu wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he sat cross-legged, conserving his energy and building up strength.

Right at that moment, Su Yuan's voice suddenly came through the miniature earpiece.

"Go to the southwest area outside the temple now."

Before leaving Magic City, Su Yuan had given Aromu a miniature earpiece for communication at any time.

"Southwest area?"

Aromu looked up.

By now, the temple sacred land was in chaos. The grand sorcerer from thirty years ago had come knocking, and Kunlong had yet to appear, causing many sorcerers to begin fleeing the sacred land.

This was a perfectly normal reaction, and Aromu saw it clearly.

After all, no one knew what Aromu might do later. If Kunlong didn't show up, would he vent his anger on them?

Or if Kunlong did show up, and the two grand sorcerers fought, would the aftermath affect them?

Regardless of the possibility, staying away from the temple was currently the best choice.

"Alright."

Aromu immediately followed Su Yuan's instructions, quietly moving to the southwest area of the temple.

This place had lush jungle growth, and the temple walls faintly bore traces of dried blood.

Just then, a slight noise came through.

Aromu looked up and saw an elderly sorcerer quietly sneaking out.

Aromu glanced at the elderly sorcerer. His soul aura was weak, no different from an ordinary person. He had probably used connections to blend into the sacred land of the sorcerer lineage.

"You?"

This elderly sorcerer, after escaping the temple and before he could even sigh in relief, saw Aromu, and intense terror appeared on his face.

Aromu felt slightly strange, but he didn't dwell on it. After all, it would be abnormal if the other party wasn't terrified.

However, the next moment.

Su Yuan, far away in Magic City, his eyes showing a peculiar light, spoke into Aromu's ear: "Kill him."

The 'him' here naturally referred to the elderly sorcerer with the terrified expression.

This sorcerer's true identity was Kunlong.

But it was Kunlong in his period of weakness.

In the sorcerer lineage, upon reaching the grand sorcerer realm, a ten-year cycle of weakness occurs.

The weakness period lasts half a day, during which the grand sorcerer's soul and Mental Force plummet to the level of an ordinary person.

For any grand sorcerer, their own period of weakness is an absolute secret. Whoever knows about it must die.

Of course, this didn't include Su Yuan.

Su Yuan had long known about Kunlong's weakness period through the gray mirror.

......

In fact, Kunlong had made extremely thorough preparations for his period of weakness.

Not only had he changed his appearance and identity, but he had also hidden his true aura, so even Aromu didn't recognize him.

This way, even if enemies happened to come knocking during Kunlong's weakness period, they wouldn't know where Kunlong was.

As long as Kunlong could get through the half-day weakness period, everything would naturally be smooth sailing.

But unfortunately, Kunlong was facing Su Yuan.

The reason for summoning Aromu this time, commanding him to return to the Southern Ocean to kill Kunlong, was precisely because Kunlong's weakness period was approaching.

"Kill him?"

Aromu was stunned. Currently, aside from the elderly sorcerer, there was no one else in front of him. So, with a slight movement of his mind, invisible sorcery spells enveloped the other.

Only half a second passed from receiving Su Yuan's 'kill him' command to the elderly sorcerer's death.

Kunlong, a grand sorcerer of a generation who had shaken the Southern Ocean nations with his prestige, died silently in this place.
