Chapter Six Hundred and Seventy Seven – Seeds of Conspiracy (2/2)

———

Fei Lei travelled over mountains and water. His face was weathered. There were more than one hundred young people behind him dressed in worn clothing.

In comparison ot the others, his mission was much simpler. He received a list with some clans and their general living location.

The mission the blood summon had given him was very simple. He was to find these clans and convince them to join him and form a battalion. The battalion’s name would be the King’s Horn!

The name of this battalion caused Fei Lei’s heart to beat wildly. Was the daren who sent the blood summons a king?

The King’s Horn!

Fei Lei was not as clever as Shui Yue but he was a reliable person. The inheritance he received included mo skills and knowledge on battle generals. He also had experience in training battalions and this was why Pu Yao and Wei had given him this mission.

He went searching based on the list and the surprise he felt increased.

He didn’t know how the daren behind him had found these clans. These clans all had terrible living conditions. Some of the clans only had twenty to thirty people left. After coming into contact with them, Fei Lei was even more astonished. All of these clans possessed a long history and had been great once upon a time.

Fei Lei knew what this meant.

Noble bloodlines!

While these clans mostly had declined due to losing their mo skill inheritances, the blood that flowed within them had not changed. If they could find their mo skill inheritances, they could once again step onto the world’s stage.

Thinking about this. Fei Lei’s heart moved again because the blood summons had also given him countless mo skills inheritances!

The King’s Horn!

Fei Lei’s turned towards the young people that were dressed in varied attired, some looked like beggars. He suddenly felt great anticipation.

Under their dirty and young appearances, the awakening of the noble bloodlines … …

The King’s Horn would blow away the dust of time, and the past glory of their bloodlines would come once again!

“What? You’re crazy!” Youqing Lie’s rebellious face was full of fury as he pointed at Pu Yao’s nose and cursed. “Ye just got out of the jail, and you want ye to go back? Ye tells you, ye won’t do it!”

Just as he finished speaking, Youqing Lie’s body suddenly tightened and he was unable to move.

Youqing Lie strained his neck upwards and continued to curse loudly, “If you have skill, kill ye! Don’t think ye will go back to the jail!”

“Kill you?” An eerie light flashed across Pu Yao’s bloody pupil. His thin blade-like lips curved slightly. “How can I let you off so easily? You know, I have many ways that to make you unable to live and unable to die.”

Youqing Lie stopped talking.

He knew this.

He had inherited all kinds of eerie yao arts related to stealth, concealment, and assassination. Among these yao arts were many torture methods that could make people beg for death. Even he could do them now.

Pu Yao looked down at him coldly. “Your personality is really not suited to moving in the dark. It is a pity that you are the only yao left so the benefits fall to you. That’s fine with me, but if you ruin my plan, I will take back what I have given you -with interest.”

Pu Yao’s icy words caused Youqing Lie to tremble. He knew what the interest was—his life.

Having received the inheritance, he knew just how cruel and ruthless the people that moved in the darkness were.

“What’s the benefit in going to a crappy place like jail?” Youqing Lie’s throat felt dry. He retreated.

“You have to change your way of thinking.” Pu Yao’s bloody pupil was bottomless. He said in a slightly mocking tone, “For a commander of the dark, jail is where talented individuals gather. There are conmen, schemers, butchers, swindlers, cheats, each full of talent!”

“Those are bad people!” Youqing Lie couldn’t help but say.

“Are you a good person? You were also in jail. It is not important if they are good or bad. What is most important is that they are all enemies of the Council of Elders.” Pu Yao tone was cold. “You better familiarize yourself with the rules of darkness as soon as possible. What I need is a commander of the darkness. If you cannot do it, I will switch to someone else. As regretful as the lost time would be, I lack patience.”

“You want me to recruit them?” Youqing Lie was not stupid and quickly reacted.

“Recruit? Haha!” Pu Yao seemed to have heard something humorous and laughed loudly.

“What’s there to laugh at?” Youqing Lie was angry and embarrassed.

“Those people cannot be recruited.” Pu Yao’s bloody pupil narrowed and he looked at Youqing Lie. He said meaningfully, “This is a test for you, good luck!”

Finishing, Youqing Lie felt his vision turn dark and he was forcibly ejected from the Ten Finger Prison.

He just wanted to curse aloud when the door was suddenly kicked open. A group of people rushed in and forced him to the floor.

“Stay still! You have been captured!”

In Zuo Mo’s sea of consciousness, Pu Yao’s expression was displeased. He murmured to himself, “Calling yourself ye in front of me, you don’t want to live!”

He couldn’t help but think of another person that frequently did this but he was one who he could not do anything against. His displeasure increased. He immediately decided to increase the tasks related to Youqing Lie’s mission.
