Chapter 1868: 24.129 Sixth Violet Star - Avoidance |
After learning that the command center was attacked while he was unconscious, Mu Liao, this Mercenary King’s first thought was to contact his father who is staying with the Long Clan. If the Long Clan and the survivors had been moved to the military compound, once it was attacked his father would be in danger as well. He was eager to contact the command center and when the call had been connected no one knew how happy he was. After all, he had just lost all of his comrades leaving only a few which can be counted in one hand.
Pei Jin’s crazed laughter echoes in his quiet mansion. But right now aside from him there is no living being, behind him is a multiple headed snake demonic beast, Ouroboros, currently napping. In front of him are groups made of undead, demonic beast and evil beings that his beast has summoned for him.
He is delighted with the news he heard though, "That’s good. Two of the Long Clan members died! This is the best news I’ve heard from you so far."
"How about Long Juedi? Is he dead yet?"
"Master... Long Juedi had disappeared. It seems that the Old Marshal had guessed you would target him and they hid him somewhere. He is not on the Military Compound," said Shadow.
Tsk!
"That old thing is truly an old fox. Thankfully, he is dead." Pei Jin cursed.
He had always been more on guard towards this old marshal than the current one. After all, this is an old leader who had eaten more salt than he is even if he had added up two of life’s ages combined. Now that he is dead, that is better than him being alive and acting as an annoying guardian.
However, he can never ignore the halo that Long Juedi possessed. He looked back and asked his beast, Ouroboros.
"That one? He had been brought over to the ancient forest. If you want to kill him now is the only time you can do so. If not today you can only wait for when the two of you turn into adults," the three headed, black, snake, demonic beast called Ouroboros said.
"That ancient forest once again. In the future when I am stronger I will destroy that place as well!" Pei Jin declares.
He didn’t notice how his demonic beast looked at him like a lunatic. Even he at his peak wouldn’t dare to fight against the guardian of this cosmos no matter what world. After all, only the guardians are unbound by the rules of the universes and everything within the cosmos.
Pei Jin thought for a while and asked, "Shadow, can you kill Long Juedi if given a chance?"
"...Yes, Master!" Shadow knew that his master would never accept an answer except for yes.
Pei Jin said, "Alright. I want to see you do it~. Let’s go!"
With the master leaving the mansion, all of those under him had left with him. This includes the recently born Evil Beast God who had hid in his beast tamer’s core. With Pei Jin leading his house, their movement causes the whole city to be in chaos. .

At the command center...
After the call with the Mercenary King, Mu Liao, was ended. The soldiers in the command room didn’t know how to react at this moment. The deaths of the old marshal and the Mu Patriarch are simply beyond their control as the two willingly did as they wished in which resulted in saving the rest of the humans. However, the deaths of Long Huang and Mu Yao might be a heroic gesture to the others but for their family it is nothing but a tragedy.
The Beastmen Leader, the Ninetailed fox Beastman, Huzi, after defeating the Undead King that appeared in the East reported to them the situation of the Mercenaries that lead the clean up to this region. There were almost all killed and not barely six men including the Mercenary King still lived. Compared to the other regions the losses of this group are simply too big. There is a huge difference between an undead warrior and an undead king. The Undead Warrior are simply creations of the Undead King. They should have thought it through. Since the undead warriors had appeared, which means an Undead King existed to create it.
"What should we do? Based on the report from Lord Huzi, he had successfully killed the Undead King."
"Which means the survivors of the East Region will be coming back."
"This includes the Mercenary King, Mu Liao."
"How can we tell him what happened to his father?"
"Tell him the truth?"
They truly couldn’t decide what to do at this point.
"How is the Marshal? Is he awake?"
