C4497 The Captain Summoned Him!
C4497 The Captain Summoned Him!
In the main hall of the Jingbian City, the Third Prince sat majestically with an imposing manner. His gaze was like a bolt of lightning as he stared at Ying San below. His cold words carried a trace of rare concern.
Hearing this, Ying San was greatly moved. He hurriedly said, “Thanks to His Highness’s blessing, I was only injured and not a critical injury. After some treatment, I can still hold on.”
The Third Prince laughed and said, “Very good. You are quite fortunate. Alright, since you are not dead, you must continue to move about. There are still many things in the city waiting for you to do.”
Ying San grinned. For some reason, even the pain in his body seemed to have lessened. “I am willing to die for the Third Highness.”
Hearing this, the Third Prince shook his head. With a flash, he arrived in front of Ying San and helped him up. He said, “Don’t talk about whether you are dead or not. Only with life will there be hope. I still need you and the Shadow Guards to do the rest.”
Although the Shadow Guards had almost no effect when the Evil Dead Thousand Corpse attacked them previously, this could not be blamed on them. It was because the enemy was too powerful, and Ying San had no chance to perform at all.
But now, if a great battle were to break out, the Shadow Guards would not be of little use in a chaotic battle.
Hearing this, Ying San said with a serious expression, “Yes, please give me your instructions.”
The Third Prince was quite satisfied. “I have some notices for recruiting people here. Take them and spread them to the nearby cities. Invite more Tribulation Transcenders to help me defend the city and kill the enemy.”
Ying San glanced at the notice and said, “Yes, Third Highness. Your subordinate will go now.”
“Mm, go. It’s very safe for us to stay in the city now.”
Ying San left.
The Third Prince’s eyes were filled with coldness. “Hehe, the Black Heavens Divine Sect has only just begun. We have to settle accounts slowly. There’s no hurry. There’s no hurry. Hehe~”
…
In the main peak of the Fu Family City.
Under the protection of a cluster of flowers, Fu Xue was meditating and cultivating beside the spiritual spring. Her entire body was green and full of vitality. Even the spiritual herbs around her were growing more vigorously.
Not far away from her, Zuo Zhao was staring at her like a god of the door. His eyes were filled with warmth that could not be wiped away.
At this moment, he felt a sense of peace. If he could continue like this forever, he felt that it would be great.
Suddenly, he frowned and looked up. He saw a blood-colored streak of light flying over from the horizon and stopping outside the Fu Family City’s grand formation.
It was a transmission jade slip.
Many cultivators in the Fu Family City saw this scene and flew up to grab the jade slip.
In the next moment, Zuo Zhao’s figure appeared in midair. He grabbed the jade slip with one hand and turned to leave.
When the Fu Family cultivators saw this, they said in unison, “Greetings, Elder Zuo.”
“Greetings, Elder Zuo.”
“Elder Zuo, this jade slip…”
“Don’t worry. I will tell the Patriarch about this.”
Zuo Zhao's words were left in the air, but they had long disappeared.
When the Fu Family cultivators heard this, they heaved a sigh of relief. Since Zuo Zhao had already said so, they could rest assured.
Zuo Zhao was a genuine peak Tribulation Transcender expert, and he had the Bloodgod Armor. His relationship with the young patriarch, Fu Xue, was ambiguous. Anyone with eyes could see it.
Previously, the Fu Family had encountered a great change. Fortunately, Chen Xiao had helped them, and they had managed to survive. Now, they had finally found their backbone and returned to the right track.
Among them, Zuo Zhao had played a big role. After all, with a peak Tribulation Transcender like him guarding the clan, it was a great help to calm the people down.
As for the patriarch, ever since the previous incident, he had been living in seclusion and rarely showed his face. On the other hand, Fu Xue had appeared more and more frequently.
Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the patriarch intended to pass the position of the clan head to him.
After a few breaths, Zuo Zhao returned to the peak of the mountain with an expressionless face.
At this time, Fu Xue had already finished cultivating. She opened her eyes and looked at Zuo Zhao. She asked, "Is it the captain's message jade slip?"
The two of them were extremely familiar with Chen Xiao's aura. The moment the jade slip appeared, they could sense that it was definitely correct.
"Yes." Zuo Zhao nodded and handed the jade slip to Fu Xue.
When Fu Xue saw this, her expression immediately darkened. She raised her head and looked at Zuo Zhao. “Jingbian City? It’s a little far from here. Zuo Zhao, what do you think?”
Zuo Zhao did not hesitate much. He only said, “Captain’s summon, I will naturally go. Captain has a great favor for me, and I cannot forget my roots. Besides, according to Captain’s words, this is to deal with the cult, so I have even more responsibilities. It’s just that you…”
Zuo Zhao’s words changed, and he spoke of Fu Xue, becoming a little worried.
One had to know that the Fu Family’s hearts were unstable, and they still needed Fu Xue to stay behind to stabilize the situation and the hearts of the people. Otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble would arise?
However, on one side was the call of the captain, and she really wanted to go.
“I’ll go.”
Fu Xue did not think much and directly said.
Zuo Zhao was a little surprised, but he also happily smiled. However, he said, “Then what about the Fu Family? If you are not around, I’m afraid that they will cause some trouble?”
“The old ancestor is still here, and those people wouldn’t dare to act recklessly. If they dare to kill, hmph, I don’t mind killing another batch. After all, there isn’t a shortage of people.”
Fu Xue said coldly. She could not see the gentle and lovely appearance just now, only cold killing intent.
Zuo Zhao nodded and said, “Then what about the old ancestor’s side?”
Fu Xue thought for a moment. “I will personally go and say that the old ancestor will agree, and I’ll go now.”
“Alright.”
The two of them turned around and headed towards the warm room behind them.
Creak!
A sound was heard and the door of the warm room was opened. A strong smell of medicinal herbs was emitted from within. Following that, Fu Zhenghong, who was wearing a luxurious long coat, walked out with a crutch in his right hand.
“Ancestor,” Zuo Zhao cupped his fists and greeted.
Fu Xue was shocked and her eyes were filled with worry. She said, “Ancestor, why are you out? The wind outside is strong, so you won’t catch a cold.”
Fu Zhenghong exhaled, “Hmph, the ancestor is not that weak. He won’t fall from the wind.”
“Yes, yes. The ancestor’s body is still good. Come, ancestor, let me help you sit down.”
Fu Xue went forward and hurriedly helped Fu Zhenghong. She sat down on a bench by the side. After taking a closer look, her eyes turned red and bean-sized tears started to roll in her eyes.
She realized that the ancestor’s body was becoming lighter and the wrinkles on his face were deeper. His complexion was also paler and his breathing was weaker. He no longer had the demeanor of a person who could dominate the world. He looked like he was at the end of his life, causing one’s heart to ache.
When she realized that Fu Xue was crying, the ancestor raised his hand and wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.
“Why are you crying? The ancestor’s time is coming. It’s only a matter of time. I’ve been waiting for a long time. However, I’m still worried about you.”
“Ancestor, if you have anything to say, please ask. Xue Er will listen,” Fu Xue said in a low voice.
"Then let's go."
"Go?"
"Yes."
