Chapter 248: Chapter 198: Pleading for a Plan with the Vermilion Bird

Translator: 549690339

Ding Dong—

A sound rings out.

The elevator doors slowly open.

What comes into sight is a red color that occupies the entire view of Xuanwu.

This red color covers the entire corridor.

Nothing is excluded, from the floor to the walls or the ceiling above.

It’s all covered.

On the two sides of the walls, there hang a series of oil paintings.

In those paintings.

There are either raging fires, devouring everything in sight,

Or amputated limbs and blood splashing everywhere.

All that meets the eyes.

Is the endless red.

Being in such an environment is enough to induce bouts of discomfort in people.

However.

This isn’t Xuanwu’s first encounter with Vermilion Bird.

He has experienced their eccentricities before. Therefore, he didn’t react with much surprise.

He took a step forward.

Xuanwu walks step by step deeper through the corridor.

The corridor was quiet.

Giving off a deathly silence.

Only the sound of footsteps on the carpet echoed rhythmically.

Xuanwu frowns slightly.

As he continues deeper.

His frown grows deeper as well.

The surrounding air gradually distorted.

Rolling heat waves assaulted him head-on.

With every step forward, Xuanwu felt the surroundings getting hotter.

It felt like standing on the edge of a volcano.

Or standing in front of raging flames.

This made Xuanwu, who was adapted to humid environments, extremely uncomfortable.

Step.

His footsteps settled.

“Enter.”

Before Xuanwu could act, a voice came from behind the door.

Without any hesitation.

Xuanwu turned the handle and pushed the door open.

The vast office presented itself before him.

The interior design of the office was just like the corridor.

Behind the rosewood office desk.

A strangely young man in a red suit, red hair, even having red eyeshadows around his eyes, was lazily leaning on a boss chair.

His body leaned sideways, legs crossed.

He held his cheek on the palm of his hand, giving Xuanwu an ambiguous smile.

His gaze seemed to possess a substantial heat.

Under his gaze, Xuanwu’s body felt waves of warmth, his blood boiling as if about to evaporate.

The surrounding air visibly twisted.

Xuanwu watched as the strands of hair in front of his forehead twisted and charred under the influence of high temperature. “Senior Vermilion Bird. ”

Xuanwu kept a serious face, bowing his head slightly.

The reason he addressed Vermilion Bird as a senior was not because he needed something from him.

It was purely out of respect for elders.

Even though Vermilion Bird looked like a young man on the outside.

But just like Azure Dragon, they were the old hands who joined the Holy Sect since its inception.

In terms of actual age, they were at least sixty or older.

Naturally, they were worthy of being addressed as a senior by Xuanwu.

“Xuanwu.”

“I know about what happened to you.”

Vermilion Bird’s voice was just like him, neither male nor female, extremely neutral.

“You’re not…trying to ask me for help, are you?”

Among the Four Saints of the Holy Sect, though it is said that they serve for the sect leader of the Holy Sect.

It’s not that they cooperate with each other.

On the contrary,

The sect leader of the Holy Sect rarely deals with things, and rarely invites others as well.

Only when a certain person among the Four Saints completes a task assigned by him would they be rewarded.

For someone at the level of the sect leader, any tiny thing availed to them would be enough for them to enjoy endlessly.

So, he’s desperate.

However, ever since Xuanwu joined the Holy Sect and received the Breathing

Technique from the sect leader, he has never had a chance to receive rewards.

Most of the time, these rewards would fall upon Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird.

Therefore.

When Vermilion Bird spoke.

Xuanwu distinctly heard the contempt and mockery in his words.

Xuanwu’s expression gradually turned gloomy.

He felt a wave of humiliation rise within his heart.

Even though Vermilion Bird was a senior.

He… as Xuanwu, was on par with him in terms of status.

But now, faced with the mockery from Vermilion Bird, he didn’t even dare to refute.

Even more so…

Xuanwu slowly closed his eyes.

His fist clenched little by little.

The next second.

Thump!

Xuanwu bent his knees and fell to his knees.

His forehead then heavily crashed onto the ground.

Feeling the burning sensation on his forehead.

Xuanwu’s heart was completely filled with a strong sense of humiliation, almost driving him insane.

His body was also trembling lightly.

“Please…Senior Vermilion Bird…Save me!”

Despite the humiliation, he still mustered the courage to ask Vermilion Bird for help.

The next second.

“Hahahaha. ”

Vermilion Bird’s laughter suddenly rang out, echoing in the room.

Xuanwu didn’t react.

He just knelt silently on the ground, letting Vermilion Bird’s laughter hit his heart like hammer blows.

After a long while.

The laughter gradually faded away.

“Interesting, really interesting.”

He heard a voice from above him.

Xuanwu felt a wave of heat again.

He knew Vermilion Bird was focusing his gaze on him again.

“Xuanwu.”

“Actually, I’ve always looked down upon you.”

Accompanying that.

Was the sound of a chair creaking.

It seemed that Vermillion Bird had stood up from his chair.

“Among the Four Saints, your talent is the poorest, and your determination is also the worst of the worst.”

“You joined the Holy Sect relatively late.”

“Yet you don’t know how to devote yourself to work for the Holy Sect, to contribute your strength, and you always think about using crooked methods to attract the attention of the sect leader.” “I’ve been displeased with you for a long time.”

Step, step.

Steady and determined footsteps rhythmically sounded, getting closer and closer to Xuanwu.

Until the last sound, it rang out next to his ear.

Hisss—

Xuanwu’s palm involuntarily started to cramp.

Wisp of green smoke rose slowly from his body.

Each of his strands of hair was twisting and charring, and his skin turned redder at a visible speed.

Whoosh!

Flames suddenly appeared out of nowhere, instantly igniting Xuanwu’s

clothes..
