Chapter 126. Foreign Country (2/2)
The disciples that were around that heard it enviously looked at the three of them. Especially the young woman, who had been looking at Zhou Zihong with doubt in her eyes the whole time. She suddenly said, “Senior apprentice sister Zhou, do you still have that pill?”
Zhou Zihong coldly looked at her and said, “You have to ask junior apprentice brother Mai Liang about that.”
The young woman was angry, but she only smiled and no longer said anything. She secretly thought that the timid Mai Liang must have already died, so how could she even ask? Clearly, Zhou Zihong didn’t want to tell her.
The young man next to her whispered something in her ear. The young woman stuck her tongue out at him and her face reddened.
Hou Hongfei looked at the two and ignored them. He then looked at Zhou Zihong’s group and said, “Okay, since everyone has returned, we should go back. Ancestor Laun Feng came out of closed door cultivation to hear about the matter of the foreign battleground from you guys.” With that, he meaningfully looked at the three of them.
Lin Tao hesitated for a bit and whispered, “Junior apprentice brother Mai Liang is still back there. The situation was grim, so he told us to return first and he will follow suit.”
Hou Hongfei raised his eyebrows and said, with a touch of surprise, “Mai Liang? He is also one of the lucky survivors?”
The moment he said those words, the expressions of the disciples of the War God Shrine became strange. Especially that beautiful young woman’s. She asked, “ Mai Liang didn’t die?”
Zhou Zihong’s expression was strange. She looked at the young woman and said, “Junior apprentice sister can relax. During those years in the foreign battleground, his personality has changed. The current him won’t bother junior apprentice sister anymore.”
The young woman frowned. She shook her head and said, “You guys don’t understand. Ah, how could Mai Liang still be alive?”
Hou Hongfei stared at her and shouted, “What nonsense! Do you wish for Mai Liang to die? Is this what your master taught you?!”
The young woman lowered her head and didn’t dare to speak. The young man next to her said, “What are you afraid of? If he still dares to bother you, I’m here.”
Yang Xiong sighed and said, with a deep voice, “Junior apprentice sister, junior apprentice brother Mai Liang won’t bother you anymore. You can rest assured.” With that, he secretly thought, “That senior’s personality is cold. How could he possibly fancy you?”
Just at that moment, the transfer array suddenly lit up again. Everyone looked at the transfer array only to see a thin and weak figure walk out of it.
Everyone suddenly felt a coldness inside them the moment that person appeared. The coldness wasn’t in their bodies, but in their souls.
It was as if the person before them was a piece of ice that could freeze the soul. This feeling was very oppressive.
The disciples of the War God Shrine were the first to experience the tyrannical nature of the Ji Realm. They couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
The young woman, Xu Si, shivered and felt very confused. Although this person looked like Mai Liang, his aura was completely different from before.
Wang Lin walked out and looked around. When he noticed Hou Hongfei, he quickly clasped his hands and said, “Disciple Mai Liang greets elder Hou.”
Hou Hongfei’s eyes lit up brightly as he said, “It is good that you’re back.” With that, he stared at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin’s expression was cold as he said, “Disciple still has something very important to do. Once I’m done, I’ll return to the sect.”
Hou Hongfei frowned and was about to speak when Wang Lin threw out a bag of holding and said, “This is all that disciple has gathered in these past 50 years. All of the magic treasures have been destroyed, so only these materials remain.”
With that, Wang Lin jumped into the air and flew into the distance.
Hou Hongfei took the bag of holding. He scanned it with his divine sense and his expression became strange. The contents of the bag of holding were very valuable. When he raised his head, Wang Lin had already disappeared, but he didn’t follow him. He had his doubts, but he felt like he should go back and report it to the sect head.
The most important reason he felt that was because he didn’t feel like he could easily make Wang Lin stay. That coldness he felt made him dread Wang Lin.
Even if he had tried to make him stay by force, if he had ended up in a sorry state, he would lose a lot of face in front of the disciples. After considering that, he decided that it wasn’t worth it and didn’t chase after Wang Lin.
