Chapter 834 - I Did This For Everyone’s Sake
Although the strength he blatantly portrayed was only at the 3rd Level of the Heaven Rank, no one dared to look down on him. He was centered amidst Lie Yan, Bi Lu and the beautiful Luo Hua who wore a light veil on her face. Even the blind could be able to tell that this masked young man was no easy opponent!
The fierce man with red hair and blood-red eyes was still seated in his upper seat.
He glanced at Yue Yang and briefly fixed his gaze at Lie Yan and Bi Lu, before finally glancing towards the beauty Luo Hua.
Finally, he looked at the elder executioner Yu Mu: “Yu Mu, was he the one who defeated you?”
The elder Yu Mu nodded and answered honestly: “Besides, he had beaten me in my most formidable skill— speed. In a battle without the blessing of ancient treasures, beasts, nor extra skills on both sides, this subordinate was completely defeated.”
The wise elder Sir Nan Bei carefully assessed Yue Yang’s body. He found that Yue Yang had a Cheating Ring of the highest grade on his left hand and a ‘speed’ sub-artifact ring on his right hand, which made him immediately narrow his eyes. However, his light smile remained as he turned to the Lionheart King and slowly shook his fan: “No wonder the Lionheart King is so confident. It turns out that this friend of his is really a rather incredible guest!”
The Lionheart King laughed: “I have always liked excitement and liveliness. I was just planning to indulge in the party by coming here tonight. As for this little friend of mine, we have only crossed paths once as mere acquaintances. But with this little friend’s noble identity, although I had the intention to befriend him, I can’t help but to be ashamed!”
Amidst the laughter, more than a dozen shadows walked into the Star-gazing Fortress one by one.
No one recognised this group that had the largest number of people.
The leader was a cool-looking human man with electric arcs surrounding his body. Although his cultivation wasn’t high, only at the 4th Level of the Heaven Rank, his natural aura was able to cause an electrifying tension to spur against others. Compared with the 5th Level Heaven Rank Lie Yan, he was no less intimidating. Even the Lionheart King who was an uninvited guest, couldn’t help but take a few more glances at his appearance.
The people who stood behind the cool and handsome guy were all unfamiliar martial artists at the 3rd level of the Heaven Rank. No one knew any of them, but these people all possessed the same chilling aura.
All of which gave off the peculiar vibe that made you feel like you were sinking.
Behind them were a few enthusiastically blazed and evil demon kings.
At the end of this group of people, there are a few Heaven Rankers who seemed slightly familiar. After he pondered in deep thought, the elderly wise man Nan Bei immediately stood up: “Clown Group. You guys are Yue Su and Yong Hui of the Clown Mercenary Group!”
Yong Hui remained silent, acting as if he hadn’t heard anything.
Yuesu smiled bitterly: “Sir Nan Bei, I apologise but we are mere bystanders who were just passing by.”
The surrender trio by his side, as well as the Flying Locusts and Hua Ban, were much more active. They spreaded out, following the handsome man with flashing electric arcs around him, without the cowardice of facing the powerhouse of the Central Palace. Previously, they would have been scared to the point where they would wet themselves, but now they were different from the past. The transformation of being ex-prisoners had not improved much of their strength, but their courage.
In addition to this large group of relatively unfamiliar visitors, there are also two teams of people who were not strangers.
The first was Queen Tai Lun and her friends. There were not many, as including the Queen herself, they only accounted for five members. Although the number was small, the other four were the courageous friends of King Tai Lun and his wife who dared to openly glare at their opponents even when facing the powerhouses of the Central Palace.
However, the second batch of people who showed up exceeded Yu Mu’s expectations.
It turned out to be the Redemption City Lord Qian Hu and the cunning tauren ‘Lima’ that day. The silhouette behind the two was that of the steward, who kept trembling all over.
“It’s you guys? Do you have any idea what you are doing?” Yu Mu execution elder stared at the City Lord Qian Hu coldly.
“Ah, we are definitely on the side of the Central Palace, but I came because it was said that someone came to the Star-gazing Fortress to cause some trouble with the intentions of causing harm to the Central Palace. Although Qian Hu is weak, he has a righteous heart and cannot sit idly by in the face of danger. So, I’m just here to see the deportation. ” The cheeky City Lord Qian Hu replied. Although he said it nicely, even a deaf man could hear that this was not the truth. Unless Yu Mu had a severe brain disability, he would not believe a word that Qian Hu had uttered!
“City Lord Qian Hu is so courageous and clever. But, are you sure it was the will of the Gods? Are you not afraid of someone counterfeiting it?” Sir Nan Bei asked with a smile.
“Sir Nan Bei, God’s will is unpredictable; how can Qian Hu dare to assume? Even if the Heavens gave me the courage, I wouldn’t dare!” The City Lord Qian Hu bowed and laughed with him, acting as if he was afraid of death. However, his actions piqued the interest of the Lionheart King who nodded secretly, thinking that this shamelessly cheeky guy had such a distinct character.
Most importantly, this guy was brave enough.
Despite facing the coercion of the Central Palace, he dared to gamble!
Before he came to the Star-gazing Fortress, even the Lionheart King had repeatedly thought about it, before he finally made a comprehensive analysis of various situations and decided to come.
City Lord Qian Hu, who was appointed by the Central Palace to guard the Divine Punishment Platform, had also dared to come. Although his abilities were relatively good, he had to be bold enough to make such a decision!
“A big welcome to all the distinguished guests for coming. No one is a stranger to the name of the Lionheart King, whereas the City Lord Qian Hu is also a rather named figure and the Queen’s name of benevolence and virtue directly makes the Tailun Continent shine. However, it is a pity that the other guests here are still slightly unfamiliar. Why don’t you all introduce yourselves for a moment?” The elderly wise man Sir Nan Bei shook his paper fan with confidence. With the same smile plastered on his face, he saluted Yue Yang and the others, as if the hospitable host genuinely welcomed the guests.
“Sky Execution!” Sky Execution never bothered to lengthen his sentences as he was a man of few words.
“I, Long Xuan, always admire wise elders like Sir Nan Bei. If you have free time, please give me some advice in the future.” The Dragon Emperor replied calmly.
As for the Underworld Emperor and the Great Demon King Baruth, they were too lazy to bother. After all, no matter how eloquently they spoke, wouldn’t it be futile as they were going to toy with their lives later on? Besides, they weren’t as concerned as to what occurred here, since the main event depended on Yue Yang, the main character of tonight’s story.
Sir Nan Bei looked at Sky Execution before turning towards the Dragon Emperor whilst frowning slightly, as if he could not think of where they originated from.
No matter how good his memory was, it was impossible for him to remember that Yue Yang and Sky Execution had come from the Tong Tian Tower.
No matter how much he tried, it would just be blind guesses anyway.
But Nan Bei quickly regained his composure and smiled at Bilu and Lie Yan: “You are probably the little princess of the Emerald Territory. I know your parents, and I have to say that you look so much like your mother.” He said, resulting in Bi Lu clenching her teeth. She has vaguely guessed by now, that even if her parents were not killed by this Nan Bei, his treacherous tricks definitely contributed to their deaths. Without him backing them up, how could the current fraud of an Emerald Lord, Pang Pei ever dare to murder her father? But she suppressed her anger and said nothing. As if he hadn’t seen the raging anger in her eyes, Nan Bei nodded to her with a kind smile, and proceeded to glance at Lie Yan: “Leader of the Raging Flame Bandits, Nan Bei had always heard of the chivalrous name of the Heads of the Flames. Looking at your charismatic appearance, it seems that you have had another breakthrough, congratulations!”
Lie Yan’s answer was simple, “Pui!”
With her fiery character, it was impossible for her to counterattack him with a smile like Yue Yang’s. She was disdainful by nature, setting aside differences as clear as day like love and hate, or water and fire.
Sir Nan Bei pretended not to see it. Still smiling, he gave a slight bow to Yue Yang: “Although the masked beauty is noble, but Nan Bei’s eyes are not blind. I can still see that the real superior is His Excellency. Nan Bei will be polite here; can I have the distinguished name of this noble guest?”
Student Yue Yang laughed, pretending to return the courtesy, but he looked like a refined little fox, “Sir Nan Bei is so polite. The name of this mere human is not at a level where others would know of. If Sir Nan Bei doesn’t mind, addressing me as ‘Third Young Master’ is fine.”
“Ah, it turned out to be the famous Third Young Master!” Sir. Nan Bei has never heard of the name ‘Third Young Master’, but he pretended that he was a known figure.
“Will Third Young Master enlighten us of the reason you are here then?” Although Yu Mu and Nan Bei held the same position of being elders, he could never be as hypocritical as Nan Bei.In some aspects, he was slightly similar to Lie Yan, as both of them were the more straightforward types.
“It’s nothing serious. I was just walking around, getting in touch with one another. So I figured, at the same time, I would like to borrow something from you.” Student Yue Yang portrayed the ‘I am a guest’ attitude.
“What does the Third Young Master want to borrow?” Colonel General Iron Shoulder asked solemnly.
He felt that it must be an important treasure once the other party had spoken.
It may even be the Star-gazing Fortress.
Anyway, it must be something that was impossible to borrow elsewhere, or something that must be detrimental to the reputation of the Central Palace.
Another possibility was for them to ask for King Tai Lun. As long as King Tyron was rescued, wouldn’t it be possible to prevent the ‘secret’ under Divine Punishment Platform from being exploited?
Yue Yang didn’t answer immediately. He just walked forward till he stood in front of Yu Mu with a cheeky smile. It was less than three meters before he stopped, and smiled and said, “How could we dare to borrow any precious things, we were just finding an excuse to make some connections with the Central Palace. In the Heaven Realm, everyone aspires to have a good relationship with you; hence, we are no exception, haha. As for what we want to borrow, it’s very simple— I just want to borrow the head of Lord Heavenly Ghost and will return it very soon!”
Borrow the head of the Heavenly Ghost?
Qian Hu knew that things couldn’t get any better today, but when he heard Yue Yang’s words, he couldn’t help but feel his legs start to become a little weak.
As for the friends standing next to Queen Tai Lun, they almost bumped their heads on the wall. Who is this kid? He was absolutely too crazy to say these kinds of words!
The fierce man with red hair and bloody eyes remained silent until Yue Yang mentioned, “borrow the head of the Lord Heavenly Ghost,” and laughed loudly: “Yes, this is a strong metaphor, and I love that! Unlike those fools before, who tried to kill without enjoying the thrill and only knowing how to commit an assassination— I’m so tired of it. Boy, as long as you have the ability, you can take this head at any time...”
“Lord Heavenly Ghost is so generous!” Yue Yang stretched out his thumb, praising the other side vigorously before he waved back, “What are you all waiting for? Lord Heavenly Ghost said we can take it whatever we want to, so why are you all being polite?”
“Well, we’re afraid of an ambush!” Except for the beautiful Luo Hua, no one else dared to joke with Yue Yang on the battlefield.
“There is definitely no ambush, but if we don’t take action now, the reinforcements of the Lord Heavenly Ghost will arrive. If I remember correctly, half an hour ago, there was a guy who ran away quickly and left the Fortress to issue a report.” Yue Yang said, which made Sky Execution and the others furious. If he knew there were reinforcements, why was he still taking his own sweet time to talk to them. Lie Yan almost beat the kid with her fist, but student Yue Yang had a reason that he explained with a grin, “Weren’t we all afraid of an ambush? Now it’s clear that Lord Heavenly Ghost is an open book and there is no ambush. So, everyone can start attacking now!”
Lie Yan was very dissatisfied. She stepped forward to shove Yue Yang aside, before she put on an attacking posture: “Just now you discovered that someone was sent for reinforcements, so why didn’t you kill that brat?”
Student Yue Yang still explained reasonably: “If we don’t have a bit of pressure, obviously we wouldn’t be able to fight very well... I did this for everyone’s sake, after all!”
With those words.
He was immediately despised by everyone.
Even the most cheeky and shameless City Lord Qian Hu had a sudden feeling of inferiority!
