950 The Tianjue Ruins (1/2)
”General…General, Sir…Something's wrong…”
The tribune's expression was full of panic as he stuttered. Unless he had guessed incorrectly, that young man was a powerful individual in the Primordial Soul Realm. He was someone that the general and the entire vanguard could not afford to offend, let alone a tribune.
Even though the army was powerful, a powerhouse in the Primordial Soul Realm was already beyond the mortal realm. No matter how many men they had, they would not be able to threaten him. Killing a million men in their army would be a piece of cake for powerhouses in the Primordial Soul Realm. They could kill anyone they wanted.
”Why are you panicking?”
Hu Hong frowned slightly. The air in the army tent froze, and a killing intent spread throughout the place. The temperature dropped sharply, and it became freezing cold.
The tribune shook. His shaking body froze when he sensed the killing intent. He did not dare to shake. He calmed himself down instead, although he felt extremely anxious.
”What's the matter?” Hu Hong asked lightly.
”Lord Marshal, it's like this…”
The tribune recounted everything that happened in Xu village. Even though there were many events which the tribune found ridiculous, there was withoutno doubt that they had offended a terrifying entity.
”A powerhouse in the Primordial Soul Realm? Are you sure that the young man has such a cultivation level?”
Hu Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression grew grave. He was shocked when he heard his subordinate say that the young man was likely to be a powerhouse in the Primordial Soul Realm. Any cultivator in that realm was a high and mighty entity in their minds. They were not someone an ordinary army could afford to offend. However, Hu Hong had decades of experience. He had seen a few powerhouses, and was not frightened to hear of one.
Furthermore, his subordinate was just a warrior in the Embryonic Breathing Realm. It was a good way from the Primordial Soul Realm. He might not have an accurate gauge on the other party's cultivation levels. After all, to the tribune, there was not much of a difference between an ordinary martial arts grandmaster and a being in the Primordial Soul Realm.
Perhaps the young man was a slightly more powerful martial arts grandmaster. The world was so big, and there were many such geniuses around. As for a young powerhouse in the Primordial Soul Realm…Could they really run into meet such a character, just like that?
”That person named me and wants to see me?” Hu Hong asked.
”Yes.” The tribune lowered his head, not daring to look at Hu Hong.
”Since he wants to see me, I am afraid I have to go see him. Considering his behavior, he is probably fearless and has a significant background.”
Peace had returned to Xu Village. However, the villagers all hid in their homes and did not dare to go out after the shock they had previously received. As for the Fengyu soldiers, they were all thrown out of the village by Mo Wen. They were suspended on the trees outside of the village.
Mo Wen stood atop a tree with his hands behind his back. He waited silently.
Soon, the sound of rustling wind could be heard. It was none other than the commander of the vanguard, Hu Hong, as well as his tribune.
”Sir, you wanted to see me?”
Hu Hong saw Mo Wen from far away, and, also, recognized him immediately. He did not need the tribune to point him out. Hu Hong walked on air and traveled several dozen miles in the blink of an eye. He was very fast, and the three-hundred-mile journey took him only 10 minutes.
As a general of Fengyu, Hu Hong's cultivation level was not low. He was already in the second martial arts grandmaster realm, and was just a step away from the third grandmaster realm.
”Are you the commander of the Fengyu vanguard?”
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and lightly continued, ”Come here. I have something to ask you.”
”You sound very serious. I wonder what Fengyu has done to wrong you for you to come here so aggressively?”
Hu Hong landed on a branch across from the youth. His eyes glinted brightly as he stared at Mo Wen, unblinking. He also wanted to know if the young man's cultivation level was really at the Primordial Soul Realm. If he were really a powerhouse in the Primordial Soul Realm, Hu Hong would not dare to do anything that would defy the young man's will. He would do everything the young man said. However, if not, he was a general of Fengyu. He had 100,000 men in his troops. He was not someone to be trifled with.
”In this world, the strong prey on the weak. The words of the powerful are the rules. The weak serve the strong. Just like how you hurt the people as you wish. So why can't I just step on the head of Fengyu?”
