Chapter 434 - The Tomb (1/2)
Silver Blade World — [Dragon Blood Tavern]
”Sir Ling Wudi, do you think that Brother Wang Fu will be able to recover from this?”
”I don't know, but whether he does or not has nothing to do with us anymore. I already did him the favor of allowing his heart to see its darkness, if he can't even see his mistakes past that, then that would mean that's his limitations.”
Wang Ling was not talking to Chang Ping, rather to Wang Fei who decided to join them instead of the Wang Family group. Her arm had already been reattached, the meridians did not suffer any major damages, but was still receiving treatment from Wang Ling.
Wang Fei had her arms severed by her cousin who was swallowed by a Heart Devil. Despite them sharing blood it was hard to trust someone who had tried to cut you down once. Wang Ling did not mind her presence and with her joining their group, Wang Ling needed not to hire a guide to the Tomb.
Also, Wang Ling made another deal with Wang Fei that she'd inform her about the war between the Wang Family and the White Tiger Clan. Wang Fei did not say anything against his requests as the war was not some secret.
”This war began when another scuffle erupted when our family and the White Tiger Clan finally decided to reconcile and bury the hatchet by holding a martial conference. The Wang Family Masters against the Second-Generation Deities all stepped up to fight one another, and then, when the White Tiger Clan lost, they caused a ruckus and attacked us like cowards. My Uncle, the Second Elder, received grievous wounds because of this attack.”
Her words had no hint of a lie behind them, it was all the truth. Either that or Wang Ling had lost the ability to see through lies.
”Tch, this is why we are losing against the Abyssal Demons, those bastards from the bigger powers can't even pick their priorities. Instead of helping the Towers, they go about on their own ways prancing about trying to devour each other's powers.” Chang Ping clicked her tongue as she cursed the two Superpowers.
Wang Fei creased her brows at those words, ”I-I may be indebted to Miss Chang, but I will not just stand by as you badmouth my family. We of the Wang Clan values the Universe, we have been protecting the Origin World long before this calamity happened so we have our reasons for not being able to send out our strongest Masters!”
Wang Fei came to defend her family. Her words were, once again the truth. The Wang Family had been protecting the Origin World with the Xiao Family for a long time. They who had been fighting against the enemies inside the Origin World had lasted for millennia.
Chang Ping knew of this as well as she was one of the few who managed to witness the Hero Wang Shu Qing fight against the Abyssal Demons with nothing but a single Spear and his long-time friend, the Blood Spear, Sun Wu.
This was very common knowledge in the Universe, but from the side, Wang Ling's hands stopped as he paused his spoon, ”Is something wrong, Sir Ling Wudi?” Chang Ping asked and Wang Ling shook his head.
”Nothing, I just remembered something, disregard me and just go on and have your conversation.” Wang Ling stated as he returned to eating. He had already cut the mask he was wearing in half after learning that doing would not be a problem.
He ate in silence contemplating the bountiful information he was given, [Father has become the Hero of the Origin World… the realm formed by the Creator himself. Hearing stories of Butler Sun is rather surreal, however.]
Stories like this make Wang Ling feel that there was hope that his family was alive. Even after Centuries and Millenia had passed and their names no longer get mentioned so often, Wang Ling wished to believe still. Even if the newer generations replaced the old Heroes, Wang Ling relished the old days where his family's name was uttered.
Days would come to pass as Wang Ling with his two companions. They entered the Silver Blade World near the Tomb and without delaying anything they would reach the Breakblade Mountain where the Tomb lies in between a small crevice.
