Chapter 931: Being Shameless Is Also An Ultimate Skill?
Ming Ri Hao drank wine for a long time and finally, he asked, “You really don’t know?”
It seems that Yue Yang was extremely abnormal if he didn’t know about the truth. Seeing his suspicious look, Yue Yang is full of anger, “If I knew, do you think I’d be that free to be sitting here and listening to your nonsense?”
After listening to Yue Yang’s words, Ming Ri Hao was more than half convinced that this kid really didn’t know the truth.
It’s just that he didn’t know his purpose in coming to Green Willow City.
“Then why did you come to Green Willow City? The Western Heaven Realm is so big, why did you just come to Heavenly Splendour Territory to mingle?” Ming Ri Hao asked tentatively again with three points of doubt. He believed that Yue Yang didn’t know the truth, but since he came here, there must be someone who instructed him to or some sort of clue he was going to follow. It couldn’t have been a coincidence, after all.
“I used to be in the Conqueror City of the Eight Desolate Territories and I was going to enter the Land of Trials. I accidentally rescued a snake-haired demon man who was said to be the son of the Dugu family of the Four Major Families. He invited me to the White River City to meet up and here I am,” Yue Yang reminded himself half-heartedly through this explanation as well.
“White River City? Then you should go straight through the Wind-Stopping Swamp but you came to Green Willow City?” Ming Ri Hao finally figured it out.
“The power of various elements in the Heavenly Splendour Territory is disordered and the laws are broken and twisted. If I don’t know a little about the situation and go to the White River City stupidly, I might be at a loss! That snake-haired demon man was from one of the Four Major Families, but I am not! I will not mention my business. Of course, I came to Green Willow City to collect some information and there is nothing to say about that. What about you, what are you doing here?” Yue Yang stopped his story and continued Ming Ri Hao’s interrogation.
“This matter… It’s quite complicated,” Ming Ri Hao picked up a huge wine gla.s.s and drank at least a barrel of wine in one gulp.
“Speak,” Yue Yang wasn’t going to waste his time speaking nonsense.
“Let’s talk about why I’m pretending to be a weak mercenary and why I’m here,” Ming Ri Hao suddenly laughed, “When it comes to hiding power, I still learned these skills from you. All the strengths that are displayed would be perceived as majestic, but after suffering a loss, I realised that it was stupid—you don’t have to look at me like that. I didn’t fight with the Prison Emperor for a day or two; I fought with him for two years. We fought for more than ten times over large and small matters alike. If I can’t even pick up the skill to hide my ability after all that, would it make sense for me to blend in with the crowd? Besides, suppressing my power’s greatest benefits was that it was easier to cultivate. At my level, even improving is not a walk in the park… Forget it, you have a brighter life than me so I won’t say anything more.”
“Since I escaped from the seal of the Prison Emperor’s Palace and returned to the Western Heaven Realm, I found that things are different because after being sealed for thousands of years, many things are no longer the same as what they were before. In addition, my strength has not been restored, so naturally, I dare not show up as Ming Ri Hao. Instead, I resort to hiding and wait until regaining a certain amount of strength before daring to reveal myself.”
“My little sister is better than me, but when Jiu Xiao and Void came back, they immediately reported to the Palace. There were several attempts made by the Central Palace in taking the opportunity to challenge the status of the Three Leaders of the Heaven Realm.”
“It’s not easy to be a high-ranking person in the Heaven Realm where the weak are the strong!”
Ming Ri Hao sighed. Even if he was one of the Three Leaders in the Heaven Realm, he had to be careful.
There was a brutal struggle at any level after all.
A battle between the Three Leaders was far more terrifying and dangerous than the battle between the lower-level warriors. Often, if they made a mistake, they would fall into unfavourable situations and never recover.
The two bullies, Jiu Xiao and Void, he could ignore; it was something that Ming Yue Guang had seen coming. The master of the Central Palace was also eyeing and wanting to take advantage of them and a few people joined forces to kill her, who just escaped from the seal, to seize the dominion of the Western Heaven Realm. Moreover, there was a very beautiful chess piece in the Central Palace. They have cultivated and supported several ‘Quasi-Leaders’ in the six thousand years since the Three Leaders were sealed in the Prison Emperor’s Divine Palace..
In a broad way, they let these Quasi-Leaders take action, constantly testing and provoking them in order to challenge the status of the Three Leaders.
Among them, the Nine Headed Ocean Demon King was one of them.
Unfortunately, no matter what, the Central Palace would never have imagined that the Nine Headed Ocean Demon King was too impatient. When he went to the Tong Tian Tower to capture the G.o.d’s Ruins, Yue Yang, a rapidly rising young man, not only ruined their six-thousand-year plan of support,it also brought a life-and-death crisis to the tower, which inspired the forward momentum of the warriors of the tower. Moreover, the Central Palace could never have imagined that the Tong Tian Tower had two ever-changing variables— Zhi Zun and Yue Yang. The two of them broke the silent fate of the Tower’s warriors and pushed them to grow into a new generation of guardians. Under the influence of Zhi Zun and Yue Yang especially, countless young warriors have grown wildly, far exceeding the previous Laws of growth.
Now, the Tong Tian Tower has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Its rise was unstoppable!
“Is she okay now?” Yue Yang could imagine how many powerful enemies Ming Yue Guang, who returned to the Western Heaven Realm, had to face.
“She’s still recovering and is safe and sound, but I don’t know where she is cultivating. I’ve never dared to ask her about her,” Ming Ri Hao nodded, “It’s the descendants of our clan who were almost entirely slaughtered by the Central Palace and the Quasi-Leaders to the point where there was almost nothing left. All the Generals in the past have defected and all the die-hards have been wiped out, leaving a mess that is difficult to clean up, which gives me a splitting headache as I don’t know when we can ever return to the glory of the past.”
“Recovery my a.s.s, I’ll say that you have nothing to do after eating. Just take care of yourself, why bother with taking care of so many!” Yue Yang had different opinions.
“Didn’t the Three Leaders not have a single underling?” Ming Ri Hao looked at Yue Yang in surprise as if he was asking, ‘is that possible?’
“Isn’t it just a matter of one sentence if you have strength and want some subordinates?” Yue Yang gave him a disdainful look.
“But they can’t be loyal…” Ming Ri Hao shook his head and waved his hand.
“No matter how loyal one gets, wouldn’t they betray you with one sealing? Therefore, the important thing is not loyalty, but strength! Strength that is unafraid of betrayal or challenge; a strength strong enough to not spark any form of rebellion even if they had the guts to do so!” Yue Yang thought it’s boring to talk about loyalty with his subordinates. As long as he was strong enough, his subordinates would feel like they would have a potentially great future ahead by following behind, they would naturally be loyal. Otherwise, there was no way to ensure loyalty.
This was the Heaven Realm where the weak would eat the strong. Why should their subordinates be so loyal?
It’s best to use some cannon fodders; a batch of dead ones would be replaced.
Wasn’t that what the Central Palace did when they were in need of people?
Yue Yang gave Ming Ri Hao a lecture and smiled again, “There are really loyal people and you don’t need to say more for them to remain that way. As long as you can see people with discernment, worrying about these is just a fool’s errand. By the way, I know why you came to Green Willow City!”
Yue Yang’s words made Ming Ri Hao’s heart beat slightly faster. d.a.m.n, it’s really not too good for his opponents. Thinking about it, he had only been sealed for 6,000 years, but everything seemed to be reversed.
If he knew those guys were like this ,he would have sent them all to the battlefield to be cannon fodder to avoid getting this worked up now!
He put aside this burden and smiled again on his face, “You little ghost! Okay, then tell me, what am I doing here?”
Yue Yang couldn’t guess it at first, but after listening to his complaints just now, he managed to react as he laughed loudly, “I don’t know the specifics, but I guess you are here to seek retribution. Maybe someone stole some treasures of yours or killed an important relative and hid in the vicinity of the Heavenly Splendour Territory’s Wind-Stopping Swamp, so you pretended to be a mercenary of the Heaven Rank and came to Green Willow City to clean up the traitors.”
When Ming Ri Hao heard what he said, he was stunned, “Good man, your brain is smart. I don’t admire anything else but your intelligent brain and thick skin!”
“Are you praising me or insulting me?” Yue Yang snorted angrily.
“Being shameless is also a skill! In the entire four cardinal directions of the Haven Realm,you are the only one who dares to write those disgusting love letters to my sister. Ahem, I’m seriously in awe!” Ming Ri Hao laughed wildly and nearly couldn’t keep his laughter in check.
“You peeked at my letter?” Yue Yang’s face turned dark.
“No, but my sister’s best friend peeked at it, and she said that no one in the entire Heaven Realm can write a love letter of your level!” Ming Ri Hao burst into tears with laughter.
“…” Yue Yang was speechless,and he was secretly ruthless in his heart. If he knew which best friend of hers was peeking at his letter, even she would be pushed down. Was the little girl not afraid of peeking at others’ love letters? He secretly rejoiced, but fortunately, he didn’t write anything too explicit. If he was like that prince that wrote a letter to his lover, saying that he would live in his lover’s trousers for the rest of his life, that would have been embarra.s.sing.
Fortunately, I just wrote letters to flirt with that chick Ming Yue Guang and didn’t really make a fool of myself!
Ming Ri Hao smiled for a while before his face turned very serious, “Betraying me wouldn’t result in much when I think about the past favours; at most, I’ll let it slip with an eye closed. However, I absolutely do not allow anyone to betray my sister, because not only is she one of the Three Leaders in the Heaven Realm, but she is also the greatest pride in my heart. Any behaviour that challenges and betrays her, I will destroy completely to protect her Supreme Majesty as a Leader in the Heaven Realm. This time, I came here to find a traitorous slave. She was originally a female official of the Moonlight Glazed Palace and she even stole treasure and fled during the period when we were sealed.”
Yue Yang understood and said with a smile, “She’s hiding in Green Willow City? No wonder you came here incognito and pretended to be a mercenary of the Heaven Rank!”
Ming Ri Hao shook his head, “I’m not sure, but there is a secret info that this fugitive slave appeared nearby, so I’ll try my luck. Who would have thought that I found no fugitive slave and met you instead!”
After thinking for a while, Yue Yang offered a condition, “I don’t care if you chase the fugitive slave, that’s your family business. But why did the Heavenly Splendour Territory become like this? What secrets are there in it? I want to know the truth. Don’t try to hide things from me. If it were only for a fugitive slave, I don’t buy that you would show up in a c.r.a.ppy place like this. Speak. If this Young Master is entertained, perhaps I might divide 30% of the rewards of the Green Willow City with you.”
“Who cares about rewards in a shabby place like Green Willow City? Do you think I’m a beggar? I’m not a starving person on the street outside. It’s a shame that you think a little bit of this can touch my heart!” Ming Ri Hao was jumping with anger. It wasn’t impossible for him to tell the truth, but the kid’s att.i.tude was very infuriating.
“I’m willing to give you a share, that’s a blessing that you won’t meet in ten thousand years,” Yue Yang spread his hands. It’s better if he didn’t want it anyway, it’s not like he was going to beg him to have it!
“…Ah, I forgot that you’re a selfish miser!” After hearing that, Ming Ri Hao was suddenly in a good mood.
According to Yue Yang’s miserliness, for him to be willing to share something out, it was indeed extremely rare.
For ordinary people, 30% would indeed be an insult, but for this kid, if he missed the opportunity now, he wouldn’t even think about presenting again.
Thinking of this, Ming Ri Hao patted his thigh, “Okay, 30% is fine.”
Student Yue Yang despised this guy very much and raised his middle finger, “Can your morals drop any lower?”
Ming Ri Hao laughed smugly, “If I can take advantage of you, I wouldn’t worry about my integrity! Besides, my secret is big enough— if you don’t give me a share and you take it all, I really can’t handle knowing that… Have you heard of the Divine Grimoire?”
“Divine Grimoire?” Yue Yang almost wanted to say that he had one in his hand, but he held back, “I haven’t heard of it before. Could it be that the Heavenly Splendour Territory has one?”
“No, there should be no Divine Grimoires in the Heavenly Splendour Territory, but here, there are all the secrets of where the Divine Grimoire is located. Ten thousand years ago, there was a warrior from Heavenly Splendour Territory who was not strong and could even be said to be very weak. But because of chance, he entered a certain Divine Grimoire and obtained a broken G.o.dhead. From then on, he showed great abilities and returned to the Heavenly Splendour Territory in the form of a demiG.o.d, ready to lead the tribe and rise to the Western Heaven Heaven Realm,” Ming Ri Hao explained the past briefly.
“What about the demiG.o.d now?” Yue Yang had never heard of any demiG.o.ds in Heavenly Splendour Territory.
“He has fallen,” Ming Ri Hao’s words made Yue Yang stunned— the demiG.o.d died? Ming Ri Hao gave a positive answer, “It was precisely because of the death of this demiG.o.d that a series of compet.i.tions arose.”
Yue Yang has some confidence in this point.
After the demiG.o.d died, in addition to competing for the incomplete G.o.dhead, the most important thing was to follow the vine and search for the location of the Divine Grimoire.
If there is a Divine Grimoire acting as the driving force and the Central Palace was desperately igniting the fire behind it, it would be strange if the Heavenly Splendour Territory wasn’t reduced to a pulp!
Ming Ri Hao looked at Yue Yang and suddenly smiled again, “Actually, there is another more detailed version of this matter, do you want to listen to it? The truth is often unexpected, but if you promise to join hands with me to fight against the Central Palace, then I will tell the real truth. Otherwise, you will still be your Master t.i.tan and I will chase my fugitive slave!”
Yue Yang was very angry.
He hated it the most when others threatened him with something.
However, it was not too much to join forces to fight against the Central Palace. This guy just wanted a firm commitment and there was really no way. Yue Yang secretly cursed this guy Ming Ri Hao and he planned to take this account. He was going to write it down and look for the little girl Ming Yue Guang to settle this matter in the future, but on the surface, he nodded to Ming Ri Hao and promised, “Okay, let alone the group of rice bugs in the Central Palace, even the Void and Jiu Xiao, this Young Master will fight to the end. However, if you dare to quit halfway through the battle, don’t blame me for turning against you. Your sister is a different matter, but for a Level 8 Innate Supreme like you, I have my ways of ensuring your death!”
These words were threatening and that counterattack frightened Ming Ri Hao inwardly.
Seeing that Yue Yang’s expression did not seem to be fake he believed it a little bit.
It was impossible for others, but this kid was indeed very evil, so it is very possible for him to lose to him at the 8th Level of the Innate Supreme. Forget it, this kid shouldn’t be an enemy, it’s better to make him an ally and let his enemies have a headache for his cunning and shamelessness!
“Okay, actually, the truth is…” Ming Ri Hao decided to be honest with Yue Yang and tell him the real truth.
