Young General
Pain.
Unbearable, extre pain cut into The Blind Man's body again and again like death by a thousand cuts. He wanted to rely on wailing to vent the pain, but found that he completely couldn't open his mouth... All his organs seed to be sealed by molten iron. He couldn't open his eyes, couldn't open his mouth, and couldn't breathe.
Pairs of black palms engraved with curses slowly reached out from the abyss below him, gently climbing onto his body, seemingly wanting to swallow him completely.
"——Ah!!"
The Blind Man let out a loud cry and sprang up from his seat with a whoosh, nearly overturning the dining table.
"?" Jian Changsheng, who had just eaten his eighth plate of chicken, was startled by The Blind Man's loud cry and looked up blankly. "No bro, do you have hemorrhoids?"
Jiang Xiaohua silently glanced at The Blind Man, opened a new bottle of wine without a word, and tilted his head back to continue drinking deeply. Two faint blushes of drunkenness surfaced on his cheeks, and his black bandages danced lightly in the lake breeze.
"..." The Blind Man turned his head with lingering fear, instinctively not wanting to co into contact with Jiang Xiaohua again. He laughed dryly and awkwardly:
"Internal heat, you know..."
Although The Blind Man had stumbled against Sun Bumian, at least he knew what kind of person attacked him. But Jiang Xiaohua was different. Apart from endless pain, loneliness, and fear, The Blind Man couldn't feel anything else... He didn't even know what kind of thing had just attacked him.
Even though he had stumbled twice in a row, The Blind Man hadn't gained nothing. At least he could confirm that neither of these two people was the "General Star" he had calculated previously.
Since that was the case...
The Blind Man slowly looked at Jian Changsheng directly opposite him.
"Are you three satisfied with the food?" The Blind Man smiled gently while wiping his nosebleed. "Actually, besides this, we have also prepared so small gifts for you three..."
The Blind Man clapped his hands lightly, and large boxes were carried up. As the boxes were opened one after another, the entire Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake was dyed with a layer of gold.
Looking at these several large boxes full of gold, the double-skin milk in Sun Bumian's hands dropped onto the table with a clatter...
When the last large box was opened, an indescribable aura spread within the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake. That wasn't gold, but a box of bizarre items. The mont he slled their aura, Jian Changsheng's gorging hand paused slightly, and he looked into the box with a surprised gaze.
"This gold is just a token of our appreciation. I know you esteed guests might not care about these worldly possessions, so just treat it as icing on the cake."
"This last box contains so Ritual Artifacts our South Sea Domain has collected over the years. If you three are interested, feel free to take them..."
As The Blind Man spoke, he perceived Jian Changsheng's movents.
Among the three, only Jian Changsheng was the General Star he had deduced. His attitude was of the utmost importance. As for the other two, they seed to have a close relationship with him. If he could keep Jian Changsheng, then bleeding a little more was fine.
This General Star might not like gold, but it was impossible for him not to be interested in Ritual Artifacts. These things could only be encountered by chance, not sought. Moreover, from the looks of it, this General Star was soone who liked to be active in the Gray World. Bringing a suitable Ritual Artifact at critical monts could save a lot of trouble.
Just when The Blind Man was full of confidence, feeling that the General Star would definitely be moved by his sincerity, the atmosphere inside the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake underwent a subtle change.
Jian Changsheng put down his chicken leg;
Sun Bumian moved his gaze away from the gold;
Even Jiang Xiaohua, who had no desires or demands, silently put down the wine bottle in his hand and looked at The Blind Man with a solemn gaze...
They understood Chen Ling. Chen Ling might arrange a welco banquet for them to have a big al, but he would absolutely not give them several boxes of gold and Ritual Artifacts.
And up until now,
Chen Ling hadn't appeared.
"Where is Hearts?" Sun Bumian asked in a deep voice.
"Hearts?" The Blind Man didn't react for a mont, "...What Hearts?"
The breeze blew across the calm lake surface, setting off ripples. An inexplicable chill spread within the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake;
Jian Changsheng's eyes no longer had the casualness from before. Instead, it was replaced by a sharpness like a sword's edge:
"Where is Chen Ling?"
The mont these words ca out, The Blind Man suddenly realized sothing.
"You... you're people from the Dusk Society??!"
The Blind Man couldn't see faces, so naturally he couldn't match them with the wanted posters of the Dusk Society mbers. As for those subordinates he sent to pick up the three, firstly, Jian Changsheng and Jiang Xiaohua were already so dirty and ssy that their facial features couldn't be seen clearly; secondly, even if soone among them had a faint guess, they wouldn't dare to ntion it. After all, these were esteed guests that the Lord of the South Sea had specially emphasized to receive well...
Who could have imagined that this invitation would actually invite three Dusk Society mbers?
"Chen Ling is no longer in the South Sea Domain." Teacher Ye spoke up at the right ti,
"The Lord of the South Sea used the lives of everyone in the Integration Faction as a threat to make Chen Ling swallow a Vow Gu-Insect, forcing him to never step into the Human Domains from now on... Chen Ling had no choice but to return to the Ghost Mockery Abyss..."
After speaking, he deliberately added another sentence: "Now, this is the Lord of the South Sea's ho turf."
At the entire dining table, there had only been one clear-headed person from beginning to end... That was Teacher Ye.
Earlier, when Jian Changsheng and the other two hadn't arrived yet, The Blind Man told him he was going to host a banquet for the "General Star". But when he saw with his own eyes Jian Changsheng and the other two leisurely and swaggeringly coming to attend the banquet, Teacher Ye guessed the misunderstanding.
The Blind Man wanted to host a banquet for the "General Star", while Jian Changsheng and the other two mistakenly thought Chen Ling invited them here.
The Lord of the South Sea forced Chen Ling away, how could Teacher Ye not have resentnt and anger in his heart? But he didn't show it. Instead, he endured it silently until now, only pointing it out with a single sentence at the most critical mont.
The Blind Man also reacted at this ti and imdiately spoke:
"The Lord of the South Sea doesn't care whether you are people from the Dusk Society or not... We are all humans. As long as we can put aside our past grievances and join hands to fight against the Gray World, we are companions!"
"I will personally go and retract the wanted posters for the three of you in the South Sea Domain. From now on, you three can live freely here. Our South Sea Governnt will definitely use the etiquette of treating esteed guests to host the three of you!"
Crack—— Crack...
Bursts of crisp sounds rang out from the stone dining table.
Cobweb-like cracks began to spread on the stone table. At the sa ti, an extrely angry sneer sounded faintly:
"I actually thought that Hearts had a bout of conscience and wanted to host us well here..."
"To actually use children as a threat..."
"Hehe..."
In the next second, the ancient Killing Intent of the Path of the Soldier roared and surged towards the sky like an awakening volcano!!
Boom——!!!
The dining table laden with dishes shattered explosively. The fierce Killing Intent directly strangled all the fresh flowers in the pavilion to death. That erupting Killing Intent actually directly lifted the roof of the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake! The ancient Oppressive Aura stirred the lake water, and bursts of waves spread madly in all directions!
Within that nearly materialized ancient Killing Intent, Jian Changsheng's pupils were completely pitch-black. Pieces of armor condensed from Killing Intent covered his body. His right hand gripped toward his waist behind him, and a Long Sword with a horizontal sheath was slowly drawn out...
Jian Changsheng's ssy hair moved without any wind. At this mont, he no longer looked like the sloppy beggar from before. The black ribbons connecting his armor danced wildly in the Killing Intent.
He stood perfectly straight there, like a general returning from slaughter in an ancient battlefield...
A Young General!
The Young General parted his lips slightly. A phantom of Bai Qi was outlined behind him, and the two overlapped. The ancient Killing Intent from the deepest part of the Ancient Vault of the Military Path mixed into the voice, exploding like thunder above the lake surface!
"Lord of the South Sea!! Are you even human!!!"
