Chapter 643: Night Demon Alien Race

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Weihai laughed out loud and didn’t speak. How was Kong Yao as bad as this young general said?

The woman wasn’t a rare talent, but she definitely couldn’t be considered an average general. One had to win each battle, at most a person would be more stable. Each time she fought the barbarian race in the north, she utilized large amounts of troops to gain a number advantage.

Although she consumed large amounts of resources, if one had such a subject, one could be at ease to letting her defend a region.

What this world lacked the most was such a talent.

He didn’t have any intention to argue on behalf of Kong Yao, and he also felt that the Gantian ruler was too preposterous.

Rumors had it that this person was lustful. It seemed they weren’t wrong.

Those young people who got famous might really have such talent, but most of them were like that. Have a little talent and they would be gleeful and arrogant. They would often rise quickly and fall just as fast.

Thinking about that, Weihai turned around. His expression turned solemn as he looked over coldly, “Today Zong Shou left angrily. As for whether or not Gantian Mountain will send troops over to help, that is another problem. Kong Xuan, you do know that we can only win this war and can’t lose...”

Kong Xuan’s eyes froze, not as untamed and arrogant as before. He also didn’t bother with the city lords on the side.

The few people in back all lowered their heads, like they didn’t hear anything, and they also didn’t add in their own opinions. A couple of them had a joyous expression in their eyes.

Only those three Taoists were like wooden statues, no reaction at all.

Weihai smiled and didn’t give any reaction, just looking at the land a few hundred miles on the east side.

“My life’s wish is to help Great Shang expand. A real man must immediately obtain success. If one can’t obtain a title, then one should die in battle. If I can help my Great Shang expand ten provinces of land, I will die smiling...”

Kong Xuan bowed once more, saying respectfully, “His Majesty is wise, always rewarding and punishing fairly. If we can win this battle, the court wouldn’t be stingy in giving out titles!”

Weihai looked expressionlessly at him and smiled, not giving much of a reaction, but his gaze became gentler.

“I know that you are good at the art of war and are confident in your talents, which is why you act arrogantly and untamed. It is good for young people to have some personality, I can accept that. I also know that you have some grievances with that Kong Yao. Only, this Gantian army was personally asked for by His Majesty. If we can win, we can use them as help. If we can’t defend this place, we can let them take the brunt of the damage.

“It is best if we don’t offend them. You should be careful with your words! We can’t spoil His Majesty’s plan just because of you!”

The tone was dark and cold, Kong Xuan broke out in cold sweat. He immediately said, “I don’t dare!”

Weihai nodded his head, after this awakening he calmed down. “I need your help in this battle. If we succeed and I become a Marquis, I will definitely help you to become a Chief Commander!”

Kong Xuan was shrewd, and although he was emotional right now, he didn’t show it on his face.

Weihai said, deep in thought, “If Gantian Mountain sends troops over, we can’t treat them too badly. If they send Blood Cloud Cavalry, it is a great help. You can prepare the grain and resources for a hundred thousand people and then send it over...”

Those words were for the people behind him. Those few Huizhou City lords all acknowledged, her faces didn’t have much wrong expressions, instead they were grateful.

Not to mention a hundred thousand, even if a million elite troops came over, with the riches of Huizhou it could support them.

A guest army coming over, they were indeed supposed to provide support.

Weihai didn’t ask for much, showing his protection of them. They were worried when they heard that Donglin was about to send troops over, but now they could be at ease.

Commander Wei being so virtuous really touched one’s heart.

——

Just as Weihai, Kong Xuan and the others were discussing, Zong Shou asked the few woman in the shuttle, “Why did you all come down?”

Ruoshui was more well-behaved and knew that he would leave after a short while, which was why he stayed on the boat.

Kong Yao’s gaze shone, her thoughts were really complicated. “Just now, when I looked at that Lianyun Island, the formations seem inappropriate. Between the platforms there are many weaknesses. The islands seem to be setting up formations...”

He didn’t need Kong Yao to say that, as he could sense it. Some places did indeed seem weak.

He thought that it was because of the lack of money. A hundred Nine Arm Spiritual Crossbows, which were a Grade Nine spiritual artifact. The bows could be compared to those Grade Nine beast crystals, and they weren’t cheap either.

They obviously arranged it like that to save money.

Zhao Yanran looked towards Jingyin. Although she didn’t speak, her expression was obviously saying that she followed the nun down and it wasn’t her problem.

Jingyin frowned and sniffed, saying weirdly, “That island has a thick smell of blood!”

Zong Shou was startled, looking at Jingyin. Bloody smell? He was used to it. Wasn’t any war area like that?

Thinking about it now, that bloody smell was especially thick...

“Speaking of which this matter is really weird. The Great Shang envoys rushes us so much, while this Weihai acted like it was not a huge matter...”

As Zhao Yanran said that, she hesitantly added, “He seems really confident!” Her tone was firm.

That was the feeling that Weihai gave. It was like he didn’t bother much about the crisis ahead.

That Night Demon Race could be wiped out with a flick of the finger. They didn’t reject their arrival, but they didn’t care either.

Zong Shou smiled, he did have such a feeling.

What Weihai showed off was for Zong Shou to not think too highly about himself. Naturally that he didn’t need to think about getting much from this trip to Huizhou.

Like he had treated this Huizhou Island as something in his own bag.

Actually if that was the case then it was the best scenario. Gantian Mountain didn’t need to waste resources and troops to interfere.

However for some reason he felt nervous.

However as compared to this matter what he was more worried about was Kong Yao. Looking over her face was devoid of blood.

He instantly felt guilty. At that moment when he heard the words of that person he really had the urge to pluck his head off.

Only because he considered her thoughts which was why he didn’t act.

Although he knew that decades later Kong Yao would be betrayed by the Kong Family, but Kong Yao herself didn’t know that...

He couldn’t directly tell her that her family couldn’t be trusted!

His mind was in a mess, maybe he shouldn’t use such despicable means on her? He also felt weird. Why did his heart turn soft so suddenly? It wasn’t his character...

Even if he couldn’t be compared to those vicious mighty lords, he wasn’t a merciful person!

In the next instance Kong Yao bowed towards him,”Can husband allow me to return to the army? My commanding ability might not be as good as Zong Yuan and Pillar Qiu, but there aren’t more than ten people in Donglin that can beat me. Even if I just lead a town I am okay with it...”

Zong Shou’s brow furrowed in shock, focusing over. Her face was totally serious.

What was happening?

This situation was really not what he expected.

Her voice was actually filled with pleading. This was also the first time she called him husband.

...what was happening?

Looking closely, there was actually a violent energy at the center of her brows.

He understood, taking in a deep breath and shaking his head,”If you are doing so because of what he said and want to compete with him, I can’t be at ease. I won’t give you a single soldier and troop...”

Kong Yao was startled, looking weirdly at Zong Shou before she regained calm. This time she thought for a long while before speaking,”I am doing this not because of what Kong Xuan said. Since I was born I have loved conquering and fighting. When I was young I held a sword and sword battlefields. The family all said that I am a jinx, maybe they weren’t wrong. Can Ruler give me a chance...”

Her tone was really calm, but it was filled with an unshakable intent...”

Zong Shou’s brow furrowed. He knew that Kong Yao didn’t say the truth and knew that the sudden occurrence today was because of another reason.

However, since she didn’t want to tell him, then he had no need to get to the bottom of it.

“Let’s talk about this matter in the future!”

Waving his hand, he didn’t agree, but didn’t reject it either. Zong Shou looked away, acting like he was totally focused. He drove the Royal Demon Flying Shuttle, directly ripping open space and heading into the void layer outside of the Cloud World.

There were numerous black colored cracks which spread all over. However the Royal Demon Flying Shuttle didn’t have to worry when it flew here.

Although this item dropped to a Grade 2 magical artifact, but the materials it used were celestial artifact grade. He took several hits and then found a narrow spiritual river to enter.

Kong Yao bowed on the ground, seeing Zong Shou not reply, she got back up.

Her face was still calm, but one could see the disappointment and sadness in her gaze. Her aura was really chilly.

Xuan Yunlan who was standing at the side couldn’t take it but she didn’t know how to persuade. Zhao Yanran smiled coldly, she knew that the more Zong Shou did that, the more importance he placed on her.

Who knows what ability this woman had that was worth Zong Shou doing so much for her?

Moments later she didn’t bother anymore, looking outside of the shuttle, only to see that occasionally there were 1-2 people passing the spiritual river.

“This is a Night Demon?”

They looked similar to humans, however their skin was dark. If they travelled in the dark, unless one had some cultivation, one wouldn’t notice them. They had a pair of bat wings growing from their backs, unlike the green-faced and large teeth of the rumors. However, they did look extremely ugly.

Even Kong Yao’s eyes were drawn over.
