Chapter 134 - Boys Should Learn To Protect Themselves Too (1/2)

Aaaaaargh!
In that very moment, Mu Wanqiu felt as if there was a lion roaring inside her.
Clenching her fist, she punched the air several times.
Jiang He turned to look at her in shock, and quickly cowered, exclaiming, “Mu Wanqiu, tell me the truth: Are you sick mentally?”
After all, even boys had to protect themselves when they were out of the house.
“You’re the mental one!”
Mu Wanqiu yelled, and lay down on another end. There was no way she was leaving—the very thought of that caterpillar passing by gave her the creeps!
Pouting, Mu Wanqiu lay on her side, showing her back to Jiang He as well.
Still, the space in a single-person’s tent was very small, and they were almost in physical contact despite having their backs against each other. In fact, all Mu Wanqiu felt was her blood flow quickening and her heart pounding without end.
A man and a woman, alone… it was difficult to sleep!
However, barely moments later…
Zzzz~
Steady breaths could be heard. Mu Wanqiu’s eyes widened and she could not help cursing through clenched teeth. “You actually fell asleep with a great beauty like me beside you… aren’t your preferences the problem here, Jiang He?

While Jiang He was in dreamland, Pudgy Jiang was leading people on a search for the position where the nuclear warhead detonated.
“Be careful. The post-blast radiation is extremely powerful in the forty-eight hours after the nuclear warhead blows up. Get in your hazmat suits and shield yourself up with True Qi, and take a qi pellet if your True Qi is dwindling.”
He barked the orders as he stood nearby.
Reasonably speaking, Pudgy Jiang’s cultivation was the strongest amongst the people present and he should be searching as well, but after several attempts… he realized that he just could not fit inside the hazmat suit.
“Chief Jiang, we’ve found a scorched thighbone over here!”
A martial artist called out loudly then, just as someone picked up a scalp nearby.
Then, another person picked up an Elder Decree.
Despite its refinement, it was still left misshapen under the terrific heat at the heart of the nuclear blast. Once Pudgy Jiang took the token plate and stared at it for a long time, he breathed a long sigh, “The Third Elder of the Sky Demon Cult… he died miserably, didn’t he? And not in one piece at that…”
Still, ‘not in one piece’ was putting it lightly.
All of his flesh was gone, his bones blown into pieces and any narrow rib burnt into ash.
After musing to him for a while, Pudgy Jiang added, “Widen the search area. With the yield of the explosion, I’m afraid… there’s nothing left of Jiang He too!”
Clenching his teeth as his eyes went red, he said tragically, “He’s now slain the Third Elder and the Sixth Elder of the Sky Demon Cult, four Decans in Pain Star, Bound Star, Guilty Star and Killer Star, not to mention five Heavenly Generals: Earth Demon, Earthen Majesty, Earthen Diction, Earthen Savage and Tranquil. His accomplishments are grand, so we must find what remains him, and do him right by giving him a good funeral!”

Meanwhile.
Multiple figures were heading towards Mount Helan from other directions.
There were around forty of them, each of them moving sneakily despite their fine ability, and there was one rank-seven grandmaster leading them.
“Blessed Heavenly General!”
Soon, everyone was gathered and kneeling on one knee and calling out the name ‘Blessed Heavenly General’. It was obvious that all of them were Sky Demon Cultists.
And that rank-seven grandmaster was the Blessed Heavenly General, one of the Sky Demon Cult’s seventy-two Fiends.
Though his title was almost identical to the Tranquil Heavenly General’s1, he was slightly superior in ability.
He had always been hiding within Western Xia and overseeing the other cultists infiltrating the county. That was why he was not a part of the plan to take Lingzhou City, but he was aware of what went on over there.
That was why he had been living in fear recently, afraid that the hierarchs of his Holy Faith would get a stroke and send him to deal with that big-shot named ‘Jiang He’.
In fact, he was almost scared to death when he received Guilty Star’s call today.
Fortunately…
Guilty Star quickly made himself clear, and only then did the Blessed Heavenly General breathe a small sigh of relief, just as he felt a slight thrill.
After musing to himself for a moment, he said, “Everyone, it isn’t, in fact, my orders that gathered all of you here.”
“A while ago, I have been notified that three VIPs: Bound Star, Guilty Star, and Third Elder had arrived at Mount Helan to retrieve a treasure, and we are all here to help them.”
The eyes of the dozens of figures sparkled then, just as the Blessed Heavenly General laughed heartily. “All of us would have gained a great merit if we could help them retrieve the treasure, and secure a bright future with their instruction. And with them here, how hard could it be for their combined strength to deal with the Butcher of Lingzhou City?”
Indeed.
The Sky Demon Cultists hiding in Western Xia now fully considered Jiang He a butcher, and were living in fear day after day that he would eventually come for them.
And now, all of them were excited.
