139 An eight faceted unres (2/2)
The middle-aged man's cold face smiled calmly, ”They say that even if my victories were unwitting, they were still victories…. but one thing is for certain…. A few of the Jun Family's members didn't die at my hands! In all fairness, the three Brothers of the Jun Family were better than me!”
As he said these words, his face suddenly exposed a color of humiliation, and he stated angrily: ”Jun Wu Hui and his brothers have always been the enemies that I've most admired in my entire life, and I will probably never meet anyone as good as them. Even if I had died in the battlefield fighting against them, then I wouldn't have had a single complaint from my life. But the manner in which I won the war was no less than a shame for me. I have come to the Tian Xiang City to escort you; firstly….. secondly, but more importantly, to find out how Jun Wu Hui died!”
”If he was killed behind his back, then even though he was my enemy, I will still avenge his death!” the black-clothed middle-aged man's face was clearly expressing his anger: ”A man with his valor didn't deserve to die in the thickets of a conspiracy!”
”I would expect such words from you.” The Imperial Teacher's face exposed a profound smile: ”Even though I've known you all these years, I still wondered if you ever tried to get him killed in secrecy?”
”What would you even say that? If there was anyone who wanted the three Jun Brothers dead in secrecy, then that was you, not me!” the black-clothed middle-aged man turned around to face his companion, and glared at him.
”The Frog at the bottom of the well always thinks that he's the best since there's no one around.” The Imperial Teacher's eyes were still calm in the face of his companion's glaring eyes: ”I can assure you that I had nothing to do with Jun Wu Hui's death. Although I did intend on getting him killed, and I even made some arrangements, but in the end, I had no part in his death.”
”Well!” the middle-aged man's look changed to a very ferocious one as he shouted out: ”That was a military matter, why would you stick your nose into it?” he paused for a second, and then suddenly yelled out even louder: ”Who are you to stick your nose into it?!”
The Imperial Teacher was silent for a long time, before he finally stated: ”Zhao Jian Hun, some things aren't just military matters…. Sometimes you also have to think about the country and your family…..” he was unable to finish his sentence, and started gazing into the night sky in front of his eyes instead.
Zhao Jian Hun, the middle-aged man in black clothes was the first general of the Yu Tang Empire, and was Jun Wu Hui, Jun Wu Meng, and Jun Wu Yi's sworn enemy!
Zhao Jian Hun smiled bitterly and said: ”Jun Wu Hui and Jun Wu Meng might be dead, but Jun Wu Yi is still alive... I will find my redemption one day, and only then will I be free from the humiliation of this victory!”
”The four consecutive victories over these past years have really driven me mad! Did you know that?” Zhao Jian Hun looked up at the sky and sighed.
~ In another direction ~
This border was being stained by another squadron, who had borne tremendous hardships to get here in time. This border was associated with the Shen Ci Empire.
The distant savanna was led by a middle-aged, black-clothed, iron-cladded man;1 small flacon which was resting on his shoulders flew into the sky as his face exposed a gentle smile: ”A peak level nine Xuan Beast's Xuan Core? That's indeed a good thing; if it wasn't for such a treasure, then I wouldn't have been able to exchange blows with some of the other heroes of this world. I live for these joys of life!”
This tall and straight standing middle-aged man had a very slender body, and even though his face seemed very ordinary, it still exuded an unexplainable breathtaking charm. His long hair wasn't restricted in any way, and was flowing straight down his shoulders. His charismatic temperament had gained him the support of the savanna, and he was practically worshipped in his land! He stood overlooking the heavy blanket of darkness which covered the Tian Xiang Empire, almost as if he was the creator of all beings!
”Tian Xiang City, I've arrived!” this man was known as the 'Falcon of the Savanna', and was one of the strongest of his generation. His looked and the sky, and roared as the weather started to take a turbulent turn over the savanna!
At this point, his troops scattered into numerous smaller factions, mostly comprising of three or five in number, and the largest faction was no greater than twelve, while some men even went alone; but all teams had the same target in sight - The Tian Xiang Imperial City!
All these teams started to converge towards the Tian Xiang Empire…..
At the same time, inside the distant Tian Fa forest, all kinds of mysterious Xuan Beasts were flying above the forest at lightening speeds, disturbing the peace of the Tian Fa forest with the fluctuation of the winds that they brought along with their tyrannical speeds. They rushed over the forest as they continued to carry forward. The animals inside the Tian Fa forest were unable to understand the reason behind this suddenly human unrest….
After a long while, a shocking roar sounded in the skies: ”If we allow a peak level nine Xuan Core to fall into the hands of another, then it will be a shame like no other!” this overwhelmingly thunderous sound caused a ruckus inside the hearts of the wildlife of the Tian Fa forest, and left the living creatures of the forest trembling in fear…..
1 TL's note: the Shen Ci Empire is a savanna land.
