Chapter 277 (1/2)
Translator: Radiant Editor: Radiant
Before Xue Ying had left for the Temple of the Earth God’s main headquarters on the Xia Clan World, in another location, there existed an island that held the Meishan Clan Master’s hidden accommodation.
Within a plain and simple courtyard, a lonely old man was currently pouring some fruit wine while two people accompanied him. One was a black-robed male whose eyes held a nefarious yet crazy light within them. The other, however, was a beautiful young lady garbed in white robes. At the current moment, both anticipation and excitement graced their faces.
“It’s been so long since we reunited, Third Brother.” The black-robed male said excitedly. “Ever since you left the Temporal Temple’s restriction and arrived in the Xia Clan’s World, we’ve always wanted to come and find you. As you know, however, Reincarnators of the Temporal Temple don’t have free will. If we’d attempted to travel to this world specifically, the price we’d have had to pay would have simply been too great. Fortunately, in the end, we’ve been reunited here once more for yet another life and death adventure.”
“Big Brother Wu Huang, why do you always act like an old man despite being so elegant?” The white-robed young lady asked. “Just go back to your usual appearance.”
“That’s right, you’re Wu Huang! You’re supposed to shake the world wherever you go; how could you be so lethargic?” The black-robed male shook his head.
“Wu Huang is already dead! I’m merely a guest of Meishan.” The lonely old man smiled, “Nowadays, I’m known as the Meishan Clan Master.”
“Meishan, Meishan… you still can’t forget about her, can you. You still can’t forget about our big sister.” The black-robed male shook his head.
“Forget? Why must I forget about her? The days that we spent with Meishan were the happiest days of my life. Even though the time we shared was short, it’s enough. However, the Temporal Temple’s restriction prevented me from having my own free will.” Hatred blossomed in the lonely old man’s eyes. “We faced life and death battles time and time again; in the end, it resulted in Sister Ping’s death. Not only does the Temporal Temple control our destinies, they also control our souls! How could I ever be willing? I didn’t mind paying any price to escape from it. This Xia Clan World’s Crimson Rock Mountain is actually an inheritance that was left behind by a major existence from the Deity World. Within it lies hope for me to bring Sister Ping back to life.”
“You still wish to bring Big Sister back to life?” Both of his comrades were shocked.
“Did you think that Sister Ping was already completely dead?” The lonely old man sneered, “That’s not the case. Even though she went through three punishments—three hell rank missions—Sister Ping still wasn’t able to get away from them. In reality, the Temporal Temple has merely taken away Sister Ping’s soul and kept her under their control. If the Temporal Temple wasn’t able to squeeze our potential dry, how could they let us die so easily?”
“Ai, we’ve long guessed that was the case.” The black-robed male shook his head. “However, we aren’t as courageous as you were. After all, you were willing to pay any price for just that little strand of hope. Do you remember how hard it is to regain our freedom the moment we sign that contract? I believe that only after we bravely advance forward—after we’ve not only become Deities, but we’ve become huge existences in the Deity Would—will we regain our freedom.”
“Right, bravely advance forward!” The white-robed young lady echoed.
“Second brother, little sister, I’ve already given my promise to a World Deity from the Temporal Temple. Naturally, I’ll do my best! I’ll use all my effort to help him obtain what he wants.” The lonely old man said, “The two of you can follow me at that point of time. Oh right, since we haven’t met for so many years, what improvements have the two of you made in terms of combat power?”
“It’s truly gotten harder to improve the further we’ve gone. The effects that life and death missions bring to us are getting weaker as well. Our current combat power can barely equal that of yours when you left,” the white-robed young lady said.
“Mn, not bad. A tremendous number of dangers exist within the Crimson Rock Mountain though; it’s much more dangerous and terrifying than any mission the two of you have participated in! As such, you two definitely need to follow me.” Meishan Clan Master’s eyes were filled with a sharp glow. “And this time, nobody will be able to block my path! Whoever dares to do so, I’ll kill!”
A terrifying killing intent emitted from his body.
The eyes of the black-robed male and white-robed young lady were once again filled with anticipation and excitement.
This was truly their captain of that time—the one whose fame had spread far into the remote lands, the one known as Wu Huang! Who other than the legendary amongst the legendary… Someone who’d grasped hold of a grade one True Meaning! In reality, those who’d grasped hold of a grade one True Meaning wouldn’t normally risk their lives at the Crimson Rock Mountain, as these absolute geniuses had a value equal to the Crimson Rock Mountain itself.
As for the Temporal Temple’s Reincarnators who’d grasped hold of a grade two True Meaning, there were some who were weaker, and some who were even more terrifying. There were even Transcendent paragons who merely lacked a grade one True Meaning! The Temporal Temple would certainly give people such as these special rights.
In reality however, that single step they lacked…was still a single missing step.
Those who’d grasped hold of multiple grade two True Meanings would never surpass someone who’d grasped hold of a grade one True Meaning!
But Wu Huang was one of the brightest Reincarnators amongst all those who had at least one grade two True Meaning, and he’d even done something extremely shocking in the past—he’d actually taken the initiative to receive three hell rank missions! That was truly transcending beyond the Temporal Temple’s control! After completing the three missions, escaping the restrictions of the Temporal Temple, and regaining his freedom, he’d became a legendary figure.
When he’d escaped the restrictions of the Temporal Time, he’d requested that they place him on the Xia Clan’s World. He’d stayed here, his killing intent silently festering within his heart!
He was waiting!
