Chapter 444 – A Huge Reward (1/2)
The middle-aged could guess what Chen Xiang must be thinking. He chuckled and said, “This is not the reward I want to give you, it will let you see a person!”
“Who am I meeting?” Chen Xiang immediately felt extremely disappointed. What kind of a reward was meeting a person? He may as well receive some real treasure.
When Chen Xiang’s gaze landed on that crystal ball, a gust of gentle aura emanated from the crystal ball suddenly, projecting on the ground. A translucent figure, seemingly false and real at the same time, appeared before Chen Xiang.
Seeing this man, Chen Xiang was momentarily dumbfounded. Meanwhile, that middle-aged man hastily bowed down to greet. “Your Excellency, it’s a bit complicated, please listen to me first.”
In fact, Chen Xiang recognized the man projected by the crystal ball. It was none other than Wu Canghong whom Chen Xiang had met under the Heroes Mountain earlier. When that middle-aged man addressed Wu Canghong as ‘Your Excellency’, it was quite evident that Wu Canghong may very well be the Human King.
[TLN: What author has used is 大殿主, roughly translated as Great Palace Lord, but I changed it to Your Excellency.]
Wu Canghong broke into laughter as he said, “Little Brother, we are really destined, we meet again!”
The middle-aged man had not yet had the time to report the matter before he heard Wu Canghong’s word, which greatly surprised him.
Much to his surprise, Chen Xiang had met their Human King. Furthermore, from the looks of it, their relation was pretty good as well. It was very difficult to be appreciated by the Human King. The middle-aged man was quite familiar with Wu Canghong’s personality, he rarely saw that kind of expression in Wu Canghong’s eyes when meeting others.
Wu Canghong was someone who cultivated in Shinto. And Shinto cultivators were pretty rare. Therefore, he was very friendly with Chen Xiang because he believed that Chen Xiang was just like him. In the future, maybe he could discuss the Shinto cultivation with Chen Xiang.
“You go out first! Let him tell me about this matter himself,” Wu Canghong said. That middle-aged man immediately peeked a glance at Chen Xiang with an incomprehensible look in his eyes before promptly taking his leave from this stone room.
Chen Xiang burst into a mischievous laugh as he said, “Senior Wu, your background is really big! You turned out to be the illustrious Human King!”
Listening to Chen Xiang’s remark, Wu Canghong shook his head as he broke into laughter, “Human King my ass, it’s a title given to me by others. I was just a bit powerful in my clan which later brought about the development of my clansmen, nothing more, nothing less.”
“Tell me, how did you come here? You wouldn’t have won that King’s Martial Arts Assembly, have you?”
Chen Xiang roared with laughter as he nodded and said, “I am sorry, your King’s Vein martial artists were beaten by me…”
Thereafter, he once again narrated the details of King’s Martial Arts Assembly to Wu Canghong.
After Wu Canghong came to know of that Evil Skelton Martial Soul matter, he fumed with anger. “This Wang Quan is looking down on my King’s Palace more and more! It looks like, after managing the Divine Martial Palace for many years, his ambition has grown a lot!”
“As for how to deal with him, it would depend on King’s Palace of the mortal world. I am from Heavenly Realm, I can’t intervene in mortal world’s matter. This is a principle. Although I may not adhere to the rules, this thing is conscious, or else all the worlds would fall into disorder.”
“Then, Senior, so to say, I will not be getting any reward, will I? What a pity!” Chen Xiang said, sighing intentionally.
“Kiddo, are you still not satisfied after getting the Luo Tian Door? I can’t give you anything now and also can’t order the King’s Palace to give you anything. However, I can tell you the location of a hidden herb garden. It might not be a mysterious realm but it’s a bit dangerous!”
Chen Xiang’s eyes immediately lit up. This was a pretty big “reward”. He hastily asked, “Where is that place?”
“It’s in the King’s Mainland! Let loose your mind, I will impart the map into your brain,” Wu Canghong said.
