Chapter 315 - Making the Deployment (1/2)
“Buzz!”
A golden light broke the barrier of the array in the Eight Array Tactics. Zhuge Liang led the group to greet the expert coming from outside; two figures followed him, one big and one small.
“I’ve been waiting here for a long time, senior. I’ve heard so much about you, and I can tell at a glance that you are extraordinary and imposing,” Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
What he said was by no means flattery; it came from the bottom of his heart. Ying Zheng had already changed into his original attire, exuding an invisible Imperatorial Power all over.
Tall and awesome, he conveyed a domineering stance with his eyebrows. He started glancing over as soon as he stepped in, as if he were patrolling his own lands.
“You do know a lot of Tao Laws,” Ying Zheng said slowly.
He had figured out that the Eight Diagram Tactics was composed of eight different Tao Laws, which complemented each other and were varied in combination, showing great power.
Upon hearing his words, Zhege Liang chuckled and said as he waved his feather fan, “Senior Ying Zheng, you’re flattering me. It took me a thousand years to merely go this far.”
Ying Zheng squinted and said, “Merely this far? You’ve already done a good jobIn, considering this era of the late arts. In addition to Gui Guzi, you’re the only one who can develop an array to such extent in the past thousand years.”
“Senior, you overpraise me. May I know who this little girl is?” Zhuge Liang pointed at Little Nannan and asked.
“I was saved by uncle and I don’t have a name. Little Nannan is my name,” she replied obediently.
“I see. No wonder your return was delayed considerably, senior.”
Zhuge Liang nodded slowly. Just by looking at the little girl, he could guess what Ying Zheng had gone through during this period and what he had done for her.
“I really can’t make friends with you warlocks,” Ying Zhang said as he frowned.
By virtue of his strong cultivation base and rich experience, he absolutely could understand the meaning behind Zhuge Liang’s words, as well as how he had reckoned in secret.
Zhuge Liang said while laughing, “Haha. As a junior, it would be my great honor if senior, the first emperor, wanted to make friends with me.”
“How can I fight against the disaster if I don’t make friends with you, counselor? Just tell me your requirements; all I want is the best countermeasure,” Ying Zheng said with his hands behind his back.
“Wow! Uncle, you’re so awesome and know lots of formidable brothers and sisters, even that fantastic grandpa!” The girl climbed onto Ying Zheng’s shoulder and cried out in surprise.
“Be quiet,” Ying Zhang said as he knitted his brows.
“Okay!” Little Nannan nodded hard and hung on his neck quietly.
“…”
Everyone became speechless after seeing this, for they deemed that this girl was the only one in the world who would dare to do such things to the Eternal Emperor. She was actually unafraid of him; instead, she climbed on his shoulder and relied heavily on him.
Finding that the people present were looking at him strangely, Ying Zheng coughed and said, “She was abandoned by her parents and has nowhere to go. I’ll help her settle down after finishing some affairs.”
“Uncle, I don’t want to leave you…” Little Nannan said in pettish voice.
Her whisper was so sweet that everyone’s hearts went out to her. If Edward and his spouse were there, they would probably scream to be her parents again.
“Senior, you should be aware that it’s inappropriate for me to say more.” Zhuge Liang sighed.
Then he looked at the little girl and said, “As for this child, I believe she will find a good home.”
He looked at the people around after he finished speaking; they clearly understood the meaning of those words. Perhaps the primordial spirits of those seniors would dissipate after this crisis.
They, however, were the only ones who could be trusted. The little girl would have to be looked after by them if the worst consequence came to pass.
“Seniors, we will definitely help Hua Xia turn the corner since we’ll be joining efforts this time!” Chu He said resolutely.
“That’s right! Hua Xia has existed since the remote ancient times. We’ll be able to defend this land once we join forces with our seniors!” Feng Tianming also showed his attitude.
“Brother said that man can conquer nature!” Zhao Changge said with a smile.
His word aroused everybody’s fighting spirit. It seemed that Wang Bugui’s confident look and his firm profile would emerge in their minds every time they heard those four words.
He could stick to his faith with just those four words, no matter what desperate situation he was in. They had heard Wang Bugui saying this over and over again, creating countless miracles shortly after.
The current “Man can conquer nature” was not only Wang Bugui’s Mind Tao, but also the common faith of all the people present.
“At this time, why isn’t he here?” Ying Zheng asked.
He had just discovered that Wang Bugui was not here. After he finished speaking, he activated his spirit mind awareness to reach all the entire Eight Diagram Tactics region; he found that guy before anyone answered.
“Has he actually entered such a crucial stage at this moment?” Ying Zheng frowned.
“Perhaps it’s part of his fate.” Zhuge Liang raised his head and sighed.
“Fate?” Ying Zheng’s brows knitted tightly.
After musing for a moment, he said, “It may be a precious opportunity for him to meditate. If he were exit seclusion, he would probably die in the following disaster!”
