Chapter 248: Chapter 198: Pleading for a Plan with the Vermilion Bird

Ding Dong—

A sound rings out.

The elevator doors slowly open.

What comes into sight is a red color that occupies the entire view of Xuanwu.

This red color covers the entire corridor.

Nothing is excluded, from the floor to the walls or the ceiling above.

It’s all covered.

On the two sides of the walls, there hang a series of oil paintings.

In those paintings.

There are either raging fires, devouring everything in sight,

Or amputated limbs and blood splashing everywhere.

All that meets the eyes.

Is the endless red.

Being in such an environment is enough to induce bouts of discomfort in people.

However.

This isn’t Xuanwu’s first encounter with Vermilion Bird.

He has experienced their eccentricities before. Therefore, he didn’t react with much surprise.

He took a step forward.

Xuanwu walks step by step deeper through the corridor.

The corridor was quiet.

Giving off a deathly silence.

Only the sound of footsteps on the carpet echoed rhythmically.

Xuanwu frowns slightly.

As he continues deeper.

His frown grows deeper as well.

The surrounding air gradually distorted.

Rolling heat waves assaulted him head-on.

With every step forward, Xuanwu felt the surroundings getting hotter.

It felt like standing on the edge of a volcano.

Or standing in front of raging flames.

This made Xuanwu, who was adapted to humid environments, extremely uncomfortable.

Step.

His footsteps settled.

“Enter.”

Before Xuanwu could act, a voice came from behind the door.

Without any hesitation.

Xuanwu turned the handle and pushed the door open.

The vast office presented itself before him.

The interior design of the office was just like the corridor.

Behind the rosewood office desk.

A strangely young man in a red suit, red hair, even having red eyeshadows around his eyes, was lazily leaning on a boss chair.

His body leaned sideways, legs crossed.

He held his cheek on the palm of his hand, giving Xuanwu an ambiguous smile.

His gaze seemed to possess a substantial heat.

Under his gaze, Xuanwu’s body felt waves of warmth, his blood boiling as if about to evaporate.

The surrounding air visibly twisted.

Xuanwu watched as the strands of hair in front of his forehead twisted and charred under the influence of high temperature. “Senior Vermilion Bird. ”

Xuanwu kept a serious face, bowing his head slightly.

The reason he addressed Vermilion Bird as a senior was not because he needed something from him.

It was purely out of respect for elders.

Even though Vermilion Bird looked like a young man on the outside.

But just like Azure Dragon, they were the old hands who joined the Holy Sect since its inception.

In terms of actual age, they were at least sixty or older.

Naturally, they were worthy of being addressed as a senior by Xuanwu.

“Xuanwu.”

“I know about what happened to you.”

Vermilion Bird’s voice was just like him, neither male nor female, extremely neutral.

“You’re not…trying to ask me for help, are you?”
