In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!

Chapter 390: Consumed by Hatred

That was not something that could increase significantly within a short period of time.

Rong Zishen understood this very well.

Internal energy was not something that could be accumulated overnight.

It required years upon years of gradual cultivation.

Unfortunately, time was exactly what he lacked most right now.

He simply did not have enough of it.

After Keshun Sanfeng’s death, the Nine Abyssal Gate had already begun to fracture internally.

Its forces had split into numerous factions, becoming even more chaotic than The Black Archon itself.

The news regarding the false Imperator Jin had been spread by Rong Zishen personally.

His purpose had been to stabilize the hearts of the people.

If he failed to bring the members of the Nine Abyssal Gate under control soon, the organization would descend into complete chaos.

And that chaos would transform the Nine Abyssal Gate into an extremely dangerous place.

The Nine Abyssal Gate was an organization with a legacy spanning countless years.

Its history was nearly as long as that of The Black Archon.

However many years The Black Archon had existed, the Nine Abyssal Gate had existed for nearly the same amount of time.

Rong Zishen had no intention of allowing such a place to be destroyed under his leadership.

Because of this, he had implemented many measures in an effort to save the Nine Abyssal Gate.

The fake Imperator Jin was merely the first step.

This attack on The Black Archon was another part of his plan.

In truth, he had not come directly to confront Yue Mingxuan and Shang Qinghua.

Before arriving here, he had already caused considerable disruption throughout The Black Archon’s territory.

Only afterward had he come to seek out Yue Mingxuan and Shang Qinghua, intending to create further trouble for them.

His goal was to create internal conflict within The Black Archon and force the members of the Nine Abyssal Gate to unite, at least temporarily.

His foundation within the Nine Abyssal Gate was still shallow.

He knew very few people there, and his status within the organization was not particularly high.

Yet before Keshun Sanfeng died, he had entrusted the entire Nine Abyssal Gate to him.

This kind of appointment in a moment of crisis, almost like entrusting an orphan to a guardian, had caused significant dissatisfaction among many influential figures within the Nine Abyssal Gate.

Although Mogushu stood on Rong Zishen’s side because of his friendship with Keshun Sanfeng, there were still very few people within the Nine Abyssal Gate who truly supported Rong Zishen.

Most people believed that the Nine Abyssal Gate could not be entrusted to an outsider.

Although Rong Zishen was Keshun Sanfeng’s biological son, Keshun Sanfeng had never publicly acknowledged that fact while he was alive.

After learning what these people thought, Rong Zishen merely sneered inwardly.

Keshun Sanfeng had indeed kept the matter secret in the past, but that was only because he had originally intended for Rong Zishen to become the emperor of Dongyue.

Rong Zishen kept these thoughts to himself and did not voice them aloud.

It was true that compared to Dongyue, the Nine Abyssal Gate was much smaller.

But he was no longer Dongyue’s Second Prince.

The people responsible for taking all of that away from him were Shang Qinghua and Yue Mingxuan.

He did not know how those two had ended up joining forces.

But he wanted revenge.

He wanted revenge against both of them.

That was why, after throwing everything into chaos today, he had come to seek out Shang Qinghua once again.

He could have simply left and never come here at all.

But that was not enough to satisfy him.

He wanted to see Shang Qinghua again.

He wanted to see the man who had stolen his throne.

Even if he could not take revenge today, he still wanted to make Shang Qinghua suffer.

That was Rong Zishen’s current way of thinking.

He did not want Shang Qinghua’s life to proceed smoothly.

Everything he had endured, he wanted Shang Qinghua to endure as well.

Although he did not yet possess the power to accomplish that, he could at least inflict some physical suffering upon Shang Qinghua.

That alone would slightly ease the burning desire for revenge in his heart.

Naturally, Yue Mingxuan had no idea what Rong Zishen was thinking.

The moment he saw Rong Zishen, however, he could not help remembering Rong Qinglei’s death.

The incident had already left him unable to eat or sleep peacefully.

Now, seeing Rong Zishen standing before him in person only caused his anger to surge even higher.

How could this man have so casually killed someone who had been his younger brother at the time?

Although Rong Zishen had spent years away from the capital, commanding military forces and acting with complete arrogance, Rong Qinglei had still been his brother.

At least, he had been at that time.

The more Yue Mingxuan thought about it, the angrier he became.

His attacks gradually lost all restraint.

A single ice needle shot through the air.

It missed Rong Zishen’s forehead by only a fraction.

Had it pierced into his skull, Rong Zishen would likely have died on the spot.

Seeing that Yue Mingxuan was on the verge of losing control, Rong Zishen immediately chose to retreat.

He withdrew completely while he still had the opportunity to do so.

When Yue Mingxuan tried to pursue him, however, Shang Qinghua grabbed hold of him.

Yue Mingxuan’s current state was extremely dangerous.

If Shang Qinghua had not stopped him, he might already have fallen into cultivation deviation.

"Mingxuan, calm down!"

Shang Qinghua practically shouted the words.

Yue Mingxuan’s condition was simply too dangerous.

If he truly chased after Rong Zishen, then the only person who might die today would not be Rong Zishen.

If Yue Mingxuan recklessly charged forward in this state, he himself would likely lose his life as well.

This was clearly not a condition suitable for battle.

Shang Qinghua made that judgment immediately.

Therefore, even at the risk of being hated, blamed, or resented by Yue Mingxuan, he still chose to stop him.
