Chapter 254: Chapter 250: Unwilling to be Lonely
Translator: 549690339
As Tang Sen flew over the valley, five warriors of the Slaughter Immortal Army couldn’t resist their impulse upon seeing Ji Fu in his hand, and brazenly attacked.
The outcome was grisly, their reception was a barrage of golden palm imprints that flung them around the valley. What followed was a one-against-five beatdown, ending with their capture alive.
One has to say, the Han Family’s method of training was far superior to the Heavenly Pathway Technique. Despite their absolute disadvantage in spiritual power, the physical strength of people like Ji Qing was much more significant than that of the Tang Clan warriors. It almost took three men to suppress them before another could apply the spirit-sealing technique, they were barely subdued.
With all five fierce realm martial artists captured alive, it implied that Ji Fu no longer had the capability to turn the tides in the valley.
Tang Sen brought Ji Fu in front of Tang Luo and the others. He transferred him into Tang Hongtao’s custody, before heading towards the gold-rimmed chariot animal.
He had to personally ensure Xu Shuhui’s safety, otherwise, he would not be able to rest easy.
Seeing that his father, Tang Sen, didn’t say a word to him, Tang Luo could only give an awkward smile. He knew that his father was angry because he had put his mother in a potentially dangerous situation.
“But the saying goes ‘No venture, no gain.’ Plus, I still have my cousin.” Tang Luo secretly made excuses for himself. After composing himself, he turned to Ji Fu with a smile on his face and said, “See Ji, do you see now who is stronger?”
Ji Fu, who had lost all hope, surprisingly regained his calm. He looked at Tang Luo and said, “If you kill me, will you spare the Han family?”
“Giving up already?” Tang Luo asked with a light laugh.
“It’s not about giving up. I made a mistake.”
“Oh?” Tang Luo’s brows raised, seeming curious.
“My mistake was not killing you directly!” Ji Fu, with red eyes, said with a hateful voice.
He had heaps of opportunities to kill Tang Luo, be it at the auction house or when he first arrived in the valley.
The most recent one, he was only half a spear’s length away from Tang Luo. If he hadn’t held back and thrust his spear, even if he had destroyed the Boundary Breaking Stone, it wouldn’t have mattered.
Because of his momentary hesitation, he landed in this predicament. The regret and unwillingness felt like ten thousand ants crawling into his chest, gnawing at his heart.
But what’s the use of saying all these now? The winner becomes the king while the loser becomes the thief. Is this the end of the Han family? Ji Fu felt increasingly hopeless.
Xu Lao Ying felt Ji Fu’s despair and was also saddened.
Upon hearing Ji Fu’s words, Tang Luo just laughed lightly and said, “Don’t you understand? You’re the one who led the Han family into this dire situation.” “Me!?”
“I am sure your elders must have told you, in a hundred years you will rise as the reviver of the Han family, leading them back to Zhongzhou! But that’s in a hundred years. During these hundred years, you need to be cautious and focus on cultivation, accumulating strength for a leap towards the sky. But you didn’t!” Tang Luo pointed out the saddest reality of this situation with a relaxed smile.
“If you continue down this path, the Han family will be wiped out sooner or later. So why not sooner? I might as well help you out.”
The future is undoubtedly bright, but will it necessarily happen? That’s not assured. Every decision at the moment can turn the future into something else.
The world is always changing, and so are people.
Some changes can take you farther, some can make you stagnate, and some changes will make you never have to change again.
The Han family had their training methods and warriors, just lacking a saint lord level expert. With the arrival of Ji Fu, they finally had a bright future.
However, Ji Fu couldn’t resist the temptations of the world. He came to Xiling with a convoy. Of course, he had the objective of completing his mission, but wasn’t it also an embodiment of his inability to endure loneliness?
After all, the cultivation of spiritual power to break into the Fierce Realm was terribly long and torturous. It wouldn’t be bad to explore the world a bit.
Hence, he became friends with Xiao Zheng. Thus, he attended the Xiao Family auction. Therefore, he wanted to compete with Xu Lao Ying the moment he saw him. Why? Just because of his unwillingness to be lonely!
“What do you mean by telling me all this!” Ji Fu, with bloodshot eyes, asked shakily.
He never thought that his actions could be this dangerous. Although, when he left, his father repeatedly told him to keep a low profile, not to reveal his background, and not to announce his family.
However, when he saw Xu Lao Ying, he threw all these cautions behind. Now, he, the young reviver, was tasting the bitter fruit of his actions.
This feeling was even more bitter than the previous regret of ten thousand ants gnawing at his heart.
“What I mean is, Master Ji, I invite you to visit the Tang Mansion.” Tang Luo invited him with a poker face, “To discuss the matter of the Minor Spiritual Realm treasury.”
“Hahahaha!” Ji Fu laughed defiantly with bloodshot eyes, “You caused the downfall of the Han Family, and now you want to snatch our treasury? Even if I die, you’re not getting the location of the treasury. Get that out of your mind.” “Hehehe-” Tang Luo was left speechless, he started to understand why the formidable Han Family from a thousand years ago got annihilated.
Looking at their young reviver, it seemed like the Han Family didn’t provide him with any wisdomoriented teachings, maybe to nurture his pure martial spirit.
Thankfully, not all people from the sanctum were as foolish as Ji Fu. For instance, Xu Lao Ying had understood the implications of Tang Luo’s words.
“Brother, calm down! Cousin means he won’t kill you, and he won’t leak information about the Han Family to the An Family!” Xu Lao Ying’s face was filled with surprise. He genuinely didn’t want Ji Fu to die there because the hero descendants of the human race shouldn’t die in such a disgraceful manner.
He didn’t feel an ounce of killing intent in Tang Luo’s heart. Considering that the Tang Clan warriors only captured and sealed Ji Qing and the others without killing them, it seemed that his young cousin had discarded the idea of annihilating the Han Family.
The surprise was so sudden that Xu Lao Ying was somewhat at a loss for action. He turned again to confirm, “Right, little brother?”
“I didn’t say anything.” Tang Luo pouted. Having a relative who can sense others’ feelings was really pulling him back.
He turned and headed towards the gold-rimmed chariot beast. He had to go back and commend Xiao Zheng. He handled the situation exceptionally well.
Hearing Xu Lao Ying’s words, Ji Fu was stunned momentarily, “What… what does he mean?”
“Master Ji, would you kindly join me on a visit to the Tang Mansion?” Tang Siyuan invited with a smile.
Ji Fu’s mood had never fluctuated as much as it did at that moment. He was a prisoner just a moment ago, and now he was invited to visit a mansion. He was confused and momentarily dumbstruck.
Xu Lao Ying looked at him sympathetically.
When they first met, he was so spirited. Having the Undying Bloodline with a rank five Dragon Elephant Undying Body, and wielding the Square Sky Halberd, he had an air of despising the world.
But in just half an hour, this domineering warrior started to look fearful.
“Kid, you’re really something!”
Xu Lao Ying sighed inwardly, patted Ji Fu’s shoulder, and said, “Brother, I’ll be with you..”
