Chapter 334 (1/2)

The huge group of soldiers and warhorses had already successfully entered the pa.s.s, leaving Ling Tian alone. Gazing at the plains, he only felt an intense desire to let out a sigh.

At this same time next year, probably even the soil mounds will have disappeared, right? If that's the case, then who will still remember the intense killing done on this piece of land? Who will remember that a once powerful country was reduced to nothing here? And as for the forest of white bones buried below the soil, how many of them still have a beautiful wife at home looking out of the door every day, pining for them? How many of them will appear once again, in the dreams of their lovers at midnight?

Those pitiful bones left to wander along the side of the river,

While their wives at home still dream of their return!

Shaking his head, Ling Tian dispelled his current thoughts to the back of his head. He couldn't help but laugh, sensing how easily he was emotionally triggered by the scene in front of him. Death and turning into bleached white bones, he of all people would understand it best!

From afar came the sounds of galloping horses, resounding like m.u.f.fled thunder! All the soldiers in the Ling Army immediately heightened their wariness, raising their heads.

Ling Tian squinted, looking into the dust clouds from afar while keeping a relaxed expression.

The newcomers only numbered a few, probably a thousand at most, but one could see that every single of them had valiant and fierce looks. Undoubtedly, they were all elite soldiers. Seated at the front was a youth clad fully in black. However, no one noticed that the moment he caught sight of Ling Tian from afar, a gleam pa.s.sed through his eyes, and in that instant, his face took on a weird expression.

”Who are the newcomers? Ah? ….” Ling Nineteen opened his mouth to ask. He was seated in a circle together with Ling Chi and Ling Yun. As for Ling Jian and the rest, they had disappeared a short while ago.

Ling Nineteen had taken the initiative to stand up and open his mouth, but the moment he spoke, he felt as though someone was choking him by his throat, rendering him unable to speak. Ling Chi stretched out a hand and pulled him back, shooting him a warning look while whispering, ”Don't speak, let the young n.o.ble deal with this.”

Those that were about to react the same way as Ling Nineteen caught themselves and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

”Impudence! Who goes there? How dare you show such disrespect in front of this young n.o.ble?! Hurry and dismount!” Ling Tian shouted out with an icy expression. Within his voice could be heard a trace of displeasure, as though he was unhappy at this group of people for breaking his own mental state.

”And who might you be?” The black-robed youth also had on a cold expression as he sternly replied, ”Where is General Han TieXuan? This young n.o.ble has something to ask him, quickly bring me over!” As he spoke, he raised the horse whip in his right hand, attempting to establish dominance. However, for reasons unknown, his finger trembled a little, causing the horse whip to deviate and point at Ling Tian's chest instead of his face. This reduced the domineering effect he hoped to achieve.

”General Han TieXuan?” A smile appeared on Ling Tian's face. ”Are you from Western Han?”

”This young n.o.ble in front of you is the youngest master of the XiMen aristocratic family!” A person beside the black-robed man tried to b.u.t.ter him up. ”He is the last young n.o.ble left in the XiMen Family! Hurry up and pay your respects!”

”The XiMen Aristocratic Family? Hahaha…” Ling Tian laughed so hard that tears rolled down his cheeks. ”So it's that entire family of people with h.o.m.os.e.xual tendencies, preferring huge and muscular males? What a resounding and prestigious name! The last time, the heavens witnessed the number one talent of the XiMen family performing, and the scene is still vivid in everyone's minds. Now hearing this really brings back memories. Haha… I wonder if this last young n.o.ble is also interested in this type of performance! If that's the case, then I'll pray that you just never see me in that way!”

”You're seeking death!” On that black-robed youth's side, a group of men were enraged and immediately drew their swords, rus.h.i.+ng up. However, the youth's hand rose up, halting them in their tracks as they obediently returned back to their stations. While that youth was young, he had a certain sort of influence within that group.

While their side was already on the verge of snapping, the strange thing was that by Ling Tian's side, everybody seemed to have seen and heard the exchange, but all remained sitting by the side without batting a single eyelid. Were they that confident of this guy?!

The black-robed youth breathed in deeply, a strange light flickering in his eyes as he cupped his fists, saying, ”This one here is XiMen Sa, may I request for this n.o.ble's name? Might I know how my family has offended you?” He was directly in front of Ling Tian, but deliberately did not lower his voice, showing that he had a backing that was as formidable as Ling Chi and group.

By the side, Ling Chi and group's faces twitched when they heard, but their faces remained pa.s.sive.
