Chapter 1158 – The Happy Tang Old Master

Gao Huan was not looking at the elder's eyes, but at his brows.
He remembered very clearly that there was a mole in one of those brows.
It was really there.
Gao Huan suddenly felt a deep pain.
Heartache.
The instant he saw that mole, he knew that he had been tricked.
Since this elder was here, his surprise attack was doomed to failure.
This also meant that this war was about to end in a human victory.
This was naturally worthy of heartache, especially for someone like him.
”Tang Three! Tang Jingtian!”
Gao Huan madly roared and flew into the sky in a bid to escape.
There was a clattering of metal as several chains flew into the sky, pulling taut as they grabbed onto his ankles.
At the same time, several zither strings stabbed through the flexible armor made from the tail thorns of the Monster Bull.
Minister Wei took out a brush and drew several large words.
An array covered the sky.
The Tang Old Master flew into the air, his fist smashing into Gao Huan's chest.
Blood rained down!
Gao Huan's childish face was covered in blood and madness, and he was still ready to fight it out to the end.
But he noticed out of the corner of his eyes that the flames on the plains were beginning to dim.
The twilight was deepening, and it was precisely the moment when dusk shifted to darkness. Logically speaking, the flames should have been getting clearer and clearer, so why were they dimming?
Were they being extinguished? Impossible!
In Gao Huan's plan, burning the supplies of the human armies had always been the most important goal, far more important than killing any number of human experts.
He had led the demon experts in charging into this wagon circle precisely so that he could distract them.
To a certain extent, he had succeeded. In the battle just now, the wolf cavalry had succeeded in setting many supply wagons on fire.
If nothing unexpected occurred, those flaming supply wagons would have rendered the rest of those wagon circles completely into ash.
How had those fires been extinguished? It had to be mentioned that the wolf cavalry had not been equipped with ordinary tinder, but flammable oil from the frigid seas of the extreme north. Even water and sand would find it very difficult to extinguish this flame!
The entire world gradually became silent.
Gao Huan stood on the plains in utter despair, doing nothing else.
Golden blood drenched his body, and in the last rays of the twilight, he appeared a particularly moving and tragic figure.
He was actually a pure-blooded Imperial.
For a member of the Imperial clan like this to become the Chief Elder of the Council of Elders, what did this mean?
It was no wonder that the previous Demon Lord so feared him that he wanted to forcibly remove him without regards for the tremors this would send through society.
Countless gazes fell on Gao Huan and then moved to the Tang Old Master.
To the people of the world, the Tang Old Master was unquestionably the most famous yet most enigmatic individual.
In the last two hundred years, he had never left Wenshui, not even when Mo Yu came with the Tianhai Divine Empress's edict to cordially invite him to the capital.
The Tang Old Master looked at Gao Huan and indifferently asked, ”You recognize me?”
Many people now remembered the words this demon Divine Domain expert had shouted upon seeing the Tang Old Master.
'Tang Three! Tang Jingtian!'
These extremely simple exclamations had exposed at least three facts:
The Tang Old Master's exalted name, his seniority in the clan, and that this demon expert recognized the Tang Old Master.
”We met many years ago in Luoyang.”
Gao Huan looked at the Tang Old Master and said, ”I thought that you would remember.”
The Tang Old Master calmly gazed at him and said, ”Oh, so it was you. Hehe, no wonder you could speak a few human words.”
Yes, Gao Huan's grasp of the Human language could not be compared to those dukes of Xuelao City who had developed some interest in the language. He was truly familiar with it. But the Tang Old Master's words clearly had two meanings, and everyone could hear the scorn and harshness within.
He really had recognized him.
”Gao Huan, Gao Yanchen!”
The Tang Old Master stared into his eyes. ”I thought you died a long time go. Though I think that right now, you probably wish that you had died earlier.”
