Chapter 1004 - I Am Who I Am
Chapter 1004 I Am Who I Am
The two of them wanted to fight but they felt the threat in their mindscape. As domain realm masters, they knew what this represented. They knew this fact even clearer than Xia Qingyi.
Third Elder’s expression changed. He looked at Ling Lan and coldly said, “What do you want us to do?” If Ling Lan wanted to do something to the Soul Society, he wouldn’t let her succeed even if he had to die.
Little Blossom immediately reported Third Elder’s resolute mindset to Ling Lan.
“Find out why he’s doing this and erase his memories too.” Little Blossom allowed her to control people’s memories too.
“I understand.” Little Blossom quickly looked through Third Elder’s memories. When he was about to erase those memories, he suddenly got a new idea. He slowly changed Third Elder’s memories so that he would be grateful towards Ling Lan instead of the Soul Society.
After some time, Third Elder started relaxing his stance. He said respectfully, “Master, please give your order.”
Little Blossom did the same thing to Deacon Lin. Deacon Lin’s attitude towards Ling Lan also changed. He started being respectful towards her too.
Xia Qingyi was flabbergasted at the sudden change of attitude, and he got even more fearful of Ling Lan’s capabilities.
At this moment, in the house that the Little Four Mercenary Team rented, there were a few guests.
Light and Dark Dragon, who had came back from killing Ninja, were present. Ye Shao, Dibi Luya, and Qiao Xing were also there too.
The member from the Little Four Mercenary Team were just relaxing the living room while looking extremely tired. Some leaned against the wall, cupboards and chairs. Some were even lying on the dining table and yawning.
Only Qi Long and Liu Furong came to welcome these two imperial stage domain realm experts who came suddenly.
Dark Dragon was a quiet person. He didn’t like to talk so Light Dragon was in charge of communicating with other people.
Light spoke politely with Qi Long. He didn’t see Jiang Hui so he asked in concern, “Leader Jiang is still not back?”
Jiang Hui and Frost Monarch’s battle occurred in the mist so they didn’t know what had happened. They only knew Jiang Hui was the one who won the battle. They knew that Frost Monarch had lost but they didn’t know if he was dead. Hence, they wanted to take the opportunity of fetching their men to ask Jiang Hui about this.
Frost Monarch’s death would affect their mercenary team’s decision regarding their missions in the Chaotic Lands. If Frost Monarch was dead, they wouldn’t have to worry about anything. If he was still alive, they would have to give up on any missions that required them to come to the Chaotic Lands. They were unable to handle such a powerful person even with the two of them at the helm of their team.
Qi Long wanted to reply to him but he quickly stopped himself as he sensed someone was in their room. He smiled, “Our leader is back.”
A man in a mask slowly appeared in the room. It was Ling Lan.
Light and Dark Dragon narrowed their eyes slightly when they saw her. They detected Ling Lan’s presence around the same time as Qi Long. This made them more fearful of the Little Four Mercenary Team. They only noticed Ling Lan’s presence after she had entered the room. This meant that Ling Lan’s understanding and control of her domain was higher than them. Plus, an average-looking member like Qi Long was as powerful as them too.
When Ling Lan appeared, the tired members of Little Four Mercenary Team were instantly reinvigorated as if they got their engines started. Some stood up straight while those that were sitting sat up straight too. Their tired expressions were all gone too.
Light and Dark Dragon were astounded. From the frightened and nervous expressions of these members, they could tell that Jiang Hui was not a kind person to his team members. He might even be someone who was vicious and brutal. This kind of people would change their minds whenever they felt like it so the two of them quickly dismissed their thoughts of forming a good relationship with the Little Four Mercenary Team, as they felt like Ling Lan was not a good partner to work with.
Ling Lan calmly walked to the sofa. Qi Long and Liu Furong quickly stood up and waited at her side respectfully.
Ling Lan hung her windbreaker and sat down like a mafia boss. Li Lanfeng also passed her a cup of hot tea, making her look more like some chinese emperor who had just came back from some excursion.
Ling Lan lifted the lid of the teacup and blew her tea. She took a small sip of it and then passed the teacup back to Li Lanfeng. Then, she looked at Light and Dark Dragon and asked, “What is the matter?”
Ling Lan’s actions and demeanour had stunned Light and Dark Dragon.
‘Damn it. This person is so arrogant!’
Light and Dark Dragon had climbed up from the grass-roots. When they were at Ling Lan’s age, they were just nobodies in mercenary teams. They slowly climbed to their position now. However, when they could be haughty, they were already too old. They knew how to be humble at this age and weren’t as hot-blooded as they were when they were young.
Ye Shao and Dibi Luya were shocked too. They were envious of Ling Lan. Qiao Xing, who was only 12 years old, also looked at Ling Lan with awe and respect.
This was how a leader should act like.
The other children in Little Four Mercenary Team were all staring at Ling Lan with stars in their eyes too. Ling Lan was now their ultimate hero in their hearts. Her position in their hearts would be really difficult to change.
Light and Dark Dragon managed to regain their senses after a short while. They went straight to the point, “We want to know if Frost Monarch is still alive.”
Ling Lan shook her head. “I was lucky to win the fight but I couldn’t kill him.”
Light and Dark Dragon’s face turned serious. This was not a good piece of news.
“What about Hades?” Dark Dragon continued asking
“He is dead,” Ling Lan answered calmly.
Light and Dark Dragon relaxed a little. Two out of the three kings were dead. This was not too bad.
“However, when I was chasing Hades, I met two half step imperial realms warriors. They should be from the same side as Hades.” Ling Lan’s words made their hearts drop again.
“Luckily, I was faster than them. Hades is dead but we can’t stay in the Chaotic Lands for long. I’m preparing to leave tomorrow.” Ling Lan’s eyes were deep and dark.
Two half step imperial realm warriors. No matter how powerful Jiang Hui was, he couldn’t handle two half step imperial realm warriors by himself. It was indeed a good decision to leave the Chaotic Lands as soon as possible. Light and Dark Dragon understood Jiang Hui’s decision and they exchanged glances with each other. Light said, “Your information is very valuable to us. In that case, we’ll leave with the Little Four Mercenary Team.”
Although they were half step to the imperial realm, there were many powerful people in the Chaotic Lands. They didn’t know if there were other half step imperial realm warriors hiding in this place. Even if there wasn’t, one Frost Monarch was enough to defeat them, so it was the best decision to leave. They wanted to leave with the Little Four Mercenary Team because they felt that with three half step imperial realm warriors between both teams, the people from the Chaotic Lands would think twice before attacking them.
But, that would mean that they needed to give up on their mission. Dark Dragon sighed in his heart. There were many missions they could take in the Chaotic Lands, and the rewards for them were good too. Many powerful mercenary teams would take these missions.
