Chapter 480: He's back!
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
He wasn't scared of talents.
There were so many talents in the world. However, when a talent was also scheming, then that talent was truly terrifying.
”I will not hide anything from you. I did spend quite a bit of time researching this over the past year. I think you're feeling the effects now. Do you feel like you're unable to move your legs?” Fang Zhengzhi asked caringly.
”You...” Bai Xing wanted to scream for help. Even though it would be humiliating for him to scream for help in his own residence, he still opened his mouth.
However...
The moment he did, he felt something heavy knock against his head.
When he turned around...
Bai Xing saw a pole, a metal pole which had been bent out of shape.
”What a tough head!” The man looked at Bai Xing and the metal pole in his hand, shocked at the result.
”...” Bai Xing turned to look at the man and that glowing red demonic eye on his forehead. He didn't believe that someone would be able to sneak up behind him.
How did it happen?
Did Fang Zhengzhi distract him?
Even so, as an Intermediate Rebirth State cultivator, he should have been able to sense it if someone was creeping up on him.
Furthermore...
Why was he knocked in the head with a metal pole?
Did this man really think that he could be knocked out by a metal pole? How naive...
Bai Xing found everything a little strange. What was even stranger was that he felt as though his head had been pricked my needles.
It hurt so bad that he felt his world spinning.
”Bong!” Bai Xing froze and crumpled to the ground. Just before he hit the ground, a thought flashed through his mind.
No!
He wasn't poisoned... to be precise, he wasn't just poisoned...
”Hahaha, this will be a story for the ages! I knocked out a Demon Domain Chief!” Su Jiu couldn't suppress his excitement as he looked at Bai Xing.
”So, coming to the Blood Shadow City to enjoy the scenery was your idea right?” Fang Zhengzhi replied calmly.
”Erm...” Su Jiu froze.
...
An hour later...
At the highest point of the Blood Shadow City, nine men in shining armor waited at the entrance to a black palace.
The palace was clearly aged.
Ten black pillars supported the entire palace. Each pillar was surrounded by demon soldiers in different armor.
Before long, a demon soldier walked out of the palace.
”The Young Master invites you in!”
”Okay!” The nine males nodded and entered the palace.
Before long, the nine males were in a room inside the palace.
There was a lady in the middle of the room. She wore a snow white dress, her black, silky hair falling to her waist, her eyes calm.
The lady didn't move. She looked out the window at the rising sun. She held a yellowish piece of paper in her hand.
The paper was small.
There were few words on it.
It was just a single sentence.
”Have you eaten?”
There were no other words on that piece of paper. There was no indication as to who the author was.
The lady was Yun Qingwu.
As the Young Master of the Demons, Yun Qingwu has many things to do during the day. Such a piece of paper should not have appeared in her hands.
Yet, this was passed from soldier to soldier, all the way until it made its way to Yun Qingwu.
The reason was simple...
This was the only thing left behind in the Bai Residence.
”Greetings, Young Master!” The nine men fell to one knee when they entered the room.
”Mm, save the formalities, Domain Chiefs.” Yun Qingwu nodded as she looked down at the piece of paper.
”Young Master, about that...”
”Young Master, what are your orders?”
”There is no one in the Southern Region capable of sneaking into the Blood Shadow City and kidnapping Domain Chief Bai. Only those few people in the Great Xia...”
The nine men waited for Yun Qingwu to make her decision.
News that one of the 10 Domain Chiefs had been abducted from the Blood Shadow City had shocked the entire Demon World.
Most importantly...
The most terrifying part of it was...
This person had done it in broad daylight and without triggering any alarms! This was about sending a message! The Blood Shadow City was not as safe as they thought!
”He's back after more than a year!” Yun Qingwu murmured to herself, ignoring the questions of the nine men.
”Him? Young Master, who are you referring to?” One of the men asked, confused by Yun Qingwu's cryptic words.
After all, they had all seen the note. There was no indication of who the author was.
If not for the fact that it was the only clue left in the Bai Residence...
They would have thrown it away without a second thought.
”Someone who has disappeared for more than a year.” Yun Qingwu replied calmly after some thought.
”Disappeared for more than a year?!”
The men looked at each other in confusion when they heard this.
”Young Master, are you talking about Fang Zhengzhi?”
”What a joke. How is that even possible? Fang Zhengzhi may have disappeared for more than a year, but he is a crippled man. Furthermore, both the Great Xia and the Southern Region are hunting for him! He may be dead for all we know!”
”Mm, the Great Xia could have executed Fang Zhengzhi without announcement!”
The nine men guessed as they looked at Yun Qingwu.
However...
Yun Qingwu didn't respond. She knew that even if she said it, no one would believe her.
There was no point in saying it then.
”Ying Feng.”
”Yes, Young Master!” A man stepped forward from the crowd. He was thin and unassuming.
However, when this man stepped forward, those around him instinctively took a step back.
Because...
This was Ying Feng.
He was the current Domain Chief of the Dark Domain. He was the younger brother of Ying Shan and was once promoted to Vice Domain Chief after just a single sentence from Yun Qingwu.
