Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Tiger Hu Qianqiu

A huge ball of fire charged upwards, lighting up the sky.

It was similar to the Pill Fountain Sect’s fire signal, but when this ball of flames exploded it was a giant GAN symbol which didn’t disappear for a long time.

Below where the flame shone, two carriages were lined up right next to each other. Beside them were dozens of majestic horned horses as well as some people.

A sixty-year-old man was sitting on the roof of one of the carriages. He had thick brows on his face as well as tiger tattoos on his body. His eyes were like car wheels, shining brightly. He gave off a really calm and solemn aura, exuding power.

At the moment he was looking forwards with a really ugly expression.

“Where did your Young Master go, why isn’t he back yet? He knows he is hunted, so why is he still running around? Is this how you protect your Young Master?”

In front of the old man respectively stood Yin Yang and Lian Fan. The former was expressionless and unfazed. The latter appeared a little awkward.

As the coachman he had the responsibility of protecting Zong Shou. However, when he completed the matter and rushed back, who knows where Zong Shou went. He spent two full days and was still unable to find any signs of him.

Beside the old man was a thirty-year-old man. He gave off an experienced aura, his body sturdy and muscular. His face was squarish and he was frowning, with nothing else special about it. At the sides of his lips were three strands of a long moustache. They were twitching, like he was extremely furious.

Xuanyuan Yiren and Li Yunniang were standing on the roof of the other carriage. When he heard the words of the old man, her brow furrowed, looking angrily at Li Yunniang, “You should at least know which direction the Prince went in, right? Why didn’t you ask him about it?”

Li Yunniang shook her head as she pointed at the hills by the side as her reply.

She felt bitter; with the character of that little demon, how would she dare to ask? Even if she did ask, Zong Shou wouldn’t bother with her. She had seen clearly that the Young Master treated her like a fly and dust, both feeling disgusted and unwilling to deal with her.

Yin Yang agreed, naturally; on the other hand that older man’s eyes were wide. He scoffed once more before closing his eyes, “Why aren’t you talking? Are you mute?”

Only then did Yin Yang move his body, bowing slightly, “Don’t worry sir. Young Master will return in some time. With his ability he will be safe.”

“With his ability he will be safe? Hei, what ability does the Prince have? I, Hu Qianqiu, really don’t know! Yin Yang, before Weiran fell into the cloud ocean, it was mostly Hui Ling protecting the Prince. But that person is heavily injured, most of the time he needs me to protect him. For you to actually say such words so confidently…?”

That old man laughed coldly, his expression solemn and cold as he looked at Yin Yang, “Now can you speak? You traveled ten thousand miles, rushing twenty nights to invite me here, what for? Although I, Hu Qianqiu, am loyal to king Weiran, I am responsible for protecting my race. If it is as you said and you can persuade me to support him, that’s great. If not, I will personally take his life in case the next Monster King tries to drag down my Iron Tiger race.”

Xuanyuan Yiren stopped breathing, lightly biting her cherry lips, her fists tightly closing.

Lian Fan and Yin Yang were expressionless and didn’t take it to heart. Even Li Yunniang didn’t feel that such a threat would come through, only some anxiety appeared on her face.

Why hadn’t that person rushed over?

Yin Yang smiled, shaking his head, “Yin Yang doesn’t dare, and even if I say it, you would most probably not believe me. It is better to wait for the Prince to rush back and personally talk to you. Don’t worry, he won’t let you down!”

Hearing those words, Hu Qianqiu didn’t believe nor not believe him, but the middle-aged man behind him burst out laughing, “You won’t disappoint my father? The Prince has already disappointed Gantian Mountain these last ten years. What right does he have to not disappoint my father? That’s right, if one doesn’t have hope, naturally one wouldn’t be disappointed…”

Yin Yang kept silent and didn’t speak, Hu Qianqiu’s eyes turned cold as he scolded, “Hu Zhengyuan, shut up! No matter how the Prince is, he is my brother’s son! If you speak another sentence, I will sink you into the cloud ocean!”

Hu Zhengyuan was startled, and shut up in trepidation, showing an unwilling expression. Hu Qianqiu looked into the air once more, only to see that “Gan” word slowly turning dim.

He couldn’t help but frown, “Fire another one! Don’t stop. Since you want to wait until he returns, so we shall. I will wait half a day here for him. Treat it as me trying for my brother…”

Xuanyuan Yiren’s brows rose.

To satisfy Hu Qianqiu… with Zong Shou’s current situation, how could he be satisfied?

Unless he referred to that Meridian Spirit Pill and that Psychic Mysterious Sense Pill? But those could only slightly help him cultivate…

And that Hu Qianqiu seemed to be specially invited over by Yin Yang over. Why was he so confident and assured?

——

That “Gan” flame once again lit up the night sky. Everyone within a ten mile radius looked up to the sky at the same time.

Zong Ling was the same, frowning as he looked into the sky. His eyes were filled with disbelief, “Is this fire signal free? What are they doing? Feng Xiao, is there really a Xuanwu Ancestor there?”

Feng Xiao wasn’t certain, looking towards the Xiantian expert beside him who was holding a sword and quietly riding a Wind Rider Foal.

Seeing the latter nod slightly, he frowned, “His aura is like a dragon, like a gold pillar. He is at the peak of marital cultivators, most probably. This person must be not afraid to shock the world and didn’t bother to cover his tracks, so his strength should be extraordinary. This is the first time I’ve seen such a boastful Xuanwu Emperor…”

“It seems familiar, like someone I have seen before. Was it that Xuanwu Ancestor that was beside Zong Shou that day?”

Zong Ling’s face was filled with questions. He took in a deep breath and ordered the horses forwards, “Let’s rush over to take a look!”

“No, Young Master! His vital energy is strong, and I’m unable to see any signs of injury, it is most likely not him. And we don’t have any Xuanwu Ancestors with us…”

Feng Xiao anxiously persuaded him not to, but after seeing that Zong Ling didn’t care at all, he helplessly ordered the horse to go forwards. The few Xiantian Masters around them also followed.

——

Four hours had passed since Zong Shou climbed out from the hole.

Although he wasn’t injured just now, the Styx River Death Sword consumed too much stamina. Without the Lightning Phoenix Essence, he would have nearly not been able to recover.

The time was mainly spent on clearing out tracks and destroying signs of the corpses. When he obtained the Darkness Blooming Cereus, he didn’t think about it. But after killing those people, he had to handle it.

That Dou Lingzhen wasn’t a problem. Although he was a City Lord, but he killed him, then so be it. Only that Mingjue was a little problematic.

These true demon sect methods were what he wasn’t clear about. There were often internal fights within sects and most of the time a whole bunch of them would die. Most of the time they died at the hands of people from their own Sect. The strong carried on while the weak were wiped out, heartless places.

But the moment a disciple was killed by an outsider or died from a public matter in the Sect, then they would go all out to take revenge.

Thinking back to the dozen Monster race slaves that had already died, Zong Shou sighed slightly. Who knows whether it was a blessing or not for him to act. He had released them from their torture, but it also directly caused their expedited death.

He had still obtained something good from that Mingjue.

The demonic artifacts and talismans on him would expose his identity if he used them. There was only one item he could use without worry.

When he jumped out to the surface, just as Zong Shou stabilized his feet, he looked up into the sky and saw that giant GAN symbol.

“Signal?”

Zong Shou’s brows rose in shock. In the entire Donglin Cloud Continent, only Gantian Mountain used the Gan symbol.

In the next moment, he understood. Most probably it was the person he had invited. Considering the time, it was more or less about right.

He couldn’t help but smile. The number of fire signals were fired successively without stopping; seems like he was impatient.

He couldn’t remain at this place, as the deaths of Dou Lingzhen and Mingjue couldn’t be hidden for long. In just a few hours it would affect the Fenghua City army. Once one side won, there would definitely be people who would enter that hole to take a look.

He didn’t waste any more time, picking up Chuxue and dashing, activating the Lightning Travelling Spirit Bone to cross the mountains.

In just a short while, Zong Shou’s face was filled with helplessness.

“Chuxue, how long do you still want to stare at me for. Haven’t you seen enough?”

“Xue’er will never get enough of Young Master!” Chuxue actually nodded her head like she was in the right, following which she revealed a regretful and upset expression, “Especially when your hair was white, you were so handsome! I shouldn’t have listened to you and should have opened my eyes. Why don’t you use it again and change your hair back for me to see? Young Master, I beg you..”.

When she said that, Zong Shou couldn’t take it anymore and smacked her head, “You dumb brat, do you think that sword technique can be randomly used? It seems like I have to punish you when you return, you are getting more and more unrestrained. I have changed my mind, make two hundred copies of that desolate talisman scripture for me before you eat!”

Chuxue immediately gave out a tragic cry, while Zong Shou was both amused and angry.

In his last life, whenever he used the Styx River Death Sword, be it male or female they feared him like a devil. Who knew Chuxue would like it so much?

Was it because of his looks? But he wasn’t that ugly in his last life? He had rare male characteristics…

Just as his mind was filled with such random thoughts, his footsteps halted.

His eyes squinted as he looked forwards. The forest leaves waved along with the wind, one was unable to see anything wrong.

However that Rising Moon Lion had sent over a message that it wasn’t so. Not only was there someone, he had nefarious intentions!

After a long while and seeing that nothing happened, Zong Shou got impatient, smiling and saying directly, “Friend, do you really think that people cannot see you when you’re hiding there?”
