659 The Great War (1/2)
”All of you, leave!”
After dismissing all of the soldiers, Li Rubi looked at Shi Sheng and suddenly stood up, solemnly bowing.
The Shi Sheng calmly received it, yet at the same time, he shook his head. ”Why are you worshipping me?”
”Within the Kun Wu mountains, I'm indebted to you for taking care of me, and I really appreciate it!” Li Rubi said honestly.
”Hehe… If that's the case, it truly is not without reason for me to receive your worship. I only pity my younger sister apprentice…” Shi Sheng smiled coldly and said.
”The younger sister… what happened to her?”
Li Rubi's face turned dark.
”Hmph… While you were proclaiming yourself as king, declaring to dominate the human realm, and enjoying a luxurious life… younger sister was, instead, sentenced to enter the Red Cloud Hollow after losing the elder's Nine Transference Golden Pills. Day and night, she suffered the torment of the Red Clouds and has yet to be released,” Shi Sheng said as he grunted coldly.
”Ahh?!”
Li Rubi's facial expression changed greatly as he tightly clenched his fist and blue veins started bulging out. He then sat back on his chair dejectedly. ”I thought… nothing would happen to her…”
”Hey! You are, after all, a small carp who actually managed to have such a transformation after obtaining the Golden Pills. You know how precious it is, yet you even believed that after I had lost this treasured item that I wouldn't be punished?”
The Shi Sheng laughed coldly. ”Even though I am the direct disciple of the elder, I'm afraid I still do not have this privilege.”
”At the moment… I'm flustered and confused…” Li Rubi circled around a few times and suddenly said, ”Have you come back here to catch me then? I've already made my mind to go to the Kun Wu mountain to apologize and take responsibility for this. I must rescue younger sister!”
”If you go back right now, I'm afraid that besides from you becoming a prisoner there, there wouldn't be any point…”
The Shi Sheng shook his head.
At this stage, he was instead proactively considering this matter on behalf of Li Rubi and the younger sister. ”The master's every move and sentence hides a profound meaning inside. This time, you made me go down the mountains. You must've predicted that I would run into you. You also talked about chaos around the world…”
He looked at Li Rubi with a serious expression. ”Do you have the intention of dominating the whole world?”
”Correct. I desire to dominate the whole world and become the king!” Li Rubi directly admitted.
”Becoming the king isn't enough…”
The Shi Sheng shook his head. ”You need to become the first generation human emperor to benefit mankind and obtain the boundless virtues. Only at that moment would you be able to enter the Kun Wu mountain and, perhaps, use your virtues to oppose master and trade for younger sister's freedom.”
”Using virtues to oppose? This magical technique is great!”
Li Rubi eyes shined brightly. Very evidently, he had also considered this suggestion long ago.
Immediately, he asked with some uncertainty on his face, ”Has the venerable sir met Yuan Hong earlier?”
”He… should be inside the Xuan Nation's large camp?” The Shi Sheng felt his head hurt a little.
”Correct! When he saw me that day, his temper was explosive, and he ultimately submitted to the Xuan Nation…” Li Rubi's mouth revealed a bitter smile. To him, this was practically an extension of the previous Kun Wu mountain.
Bullied by monkeys on top of the mountain, and even after going down the mountains, the other party actually continued to be as relentless as before!
”Yuan Hong… sigh…”
The Shi Sheng touched his head and felt that the circumference of his brain had expanded by a great deal.
…
At the same time, inside the Xuan Nation's large camp.
Inside a corner of the tent, the whole place was lively and various wines and meat were being served. There were also flexible and seemingly boneless dancers dancing to the beat of the music.
”Haha… Come, let's drink again!”
Yuan Hong sat on the throne while he hugged women with both hands in a state of pure ecstasy. ”These few days of joy and happiness within the human realm exceeds that of the Kun Wu mountain by a few notches…”
”Hehe… So, Brother, you were born on the Kun Wu mountain? I don't know which personage passed down these spiritual techniques to you?” A teenager wearing a green shirt, who was transformed from a golden-winged Pengornis and acting as his accompanist, asked with a smile.
”Naturally, it is the Holy Elder!”
Yuan Hong finished this sentence, and his heart turned cold. He stopped saying anything else and focused only on eating and drinking.
”Brother Yuan, you are our tribe's higher being. I offer you a kanpai!”
At this moment, a seductive, beautiful lady raised her glass of wine, causing Yuan Hong's eyes to stare directly at her.
”I wish immediate success for the general!”
The beautiful lady smiled gently and drank the cup of wine in one mouthful.
”Of course!”
Yuan Hong stared at this scene blankly and only focused on drinking. Traces of wine flowed down along the sides of his mouth.
At this moment, he was drunk and inadvertently grumbled, ”All of you don't need to worry. Me and the leader of that Mountain tribe are completely irreconcilable, and I will definitely chop off his head!”
In his heart, he was extremely infuriated with that carp.
”Being the child of the Holy Elder, I had to be very careful with my conduct on the mountains. That small fish obtained the Golden Pills and had such a majestic transformation. This is really unfair!”
In reality, if it wasn't for Li Rubi's own cultivation being profound at this moment, coupled with the protection of the army and the higher mutant beings that were involved, Yuan Hong might've wildly sneaked in a surprise attack early on.
It was precisely because of this that it made him change his original intention of depending on Kun Xie, and he instead chose to give in to the embrace of the Xuan Nation. It was easy to understand what mindset he had—without even asking.
”That small carp, when it's wings have been broken, this Ape elder will personally strip off its scales and pull out its tendons, causing it to neither live nor die. This can slightly soothe the grudge from the thunder whips!”
Initially when Li Rubi swallowed the pill and escaped from death, not only did it harm the younger sister, even Yuan Hong also suffered from many thunder whips.
Naturally, he didn't hate his own elder, and he only threw all of his anger onto Li Rubi.
Unbeknownst to him, the hearts of the two demons accompanying him were also like the fierce crashing of waves and tides as they kept asking themselves, ”Kun Wu mountain? Is that where the ancient Gods are residing?”
However, seeing the Yuan Hon's lasciviousness and his wild habit, when he achieved his own ambitions, they slowly shook their heads.
