1391 Raising Gu?
"Explanation?" Luo Lang raised his eyebrows. He suddenly smiled brightly. Everyone's eyes lit up. It was as though the entire world had become brighter.
Suddenly, Luo Lang's right hand shot out. A white light flashed.
The purple-gowned elder reacted quickly. He took a step back and retreated a few meters.
A piece of purple cloth slowly floated down from the sky and landed on the ground. It was originally part of the purple-gowned elder's sleeve. However, now, it had been cut off neatly.
At that moment, Luo Lang was holding an unsheathed sword in his right hand. It was this sword that cut off the purple-gowned elder's sleeve.
The purple-gowned elder looked at the piece of cloth on the ground. He slowly raised his head. His gaze was cold. "Four Heavenly Kings …"
He was one of the 12 enforcers under Lord Zhen. Before coming here, Lord Zhen had told him to be careful of the four Heavenly Kings under Lord Gen.
The original 12 enforcers were familiar with each other. They knew each other's bottom line. Normally, there wouldn't be any problems. However, they had never seen the four Heavenly Kings before. Although they had heard their subordinates mention their unique looks, their image in their minds was still very blurry. They didn't even know their temperament and bottom line. Lord Zhen told them to be careful because he was afraid that they would be careless and have conflicts with the four Heavenly Kings. After all, in this battle, both sides were working together. If there were conflicts, it would be disadvantageous.
At the start, they were also very careful. However, no matter how careful they were, they didn't know that there was someone who looked as pure as a young lady among Lord Gen's Four Heavenly Kings. Luckily, his useless grandson had taken a liking to that young lady. Their carelessness caused this kind of trouble.
Why was the purple-gowned elder so sure? At their level, they could roughly sense the opponent's strength with just one move. The purple-gowned elder knew that the young lady in front of him was not much weaker than him. To be able to reach such a level and have an unfamiliar appearance, coupled with the nickname of the Four Heavenly Kings, the words' Pretty Heavenly King 'clearly jumped out.
"What do you think of this explanation?" Luo Lang smiled and asked.
The purple-gowned elder's eyes twitched. The Charming Heavenly King's smile made his heart jump. His smile was pure but it gave him a feeling of danger.
"I'm sorry. We offended you." The purple-robed old man chose to step back because of Lord Zhen's orders and also because he wasn't confident in winning against this pretty heavenly king.
"That's good." Luo Lang's right hand shook slightly and the sharp sword dissipated like a thin mist, instantly disappearing without a trace.
The purple-robed elder's eyes flashed coldly. He suppressed the anger he felt because of Luo Lang and turned to leave.
He had plenty of time for revenge, so he wasn't in a hurry.
Luo Lang watched as the purple-robed elder left. Then, he calmly turned around. At that moment, a person suddenly appeared beside him. It was Zhao Jun.
"You offended him." Zhao Jun pointed out the truth.
"So what?" Luo Lang glanced at him coldly.
"You're not cute. You didn't have such a bad temper in the past." Zhao Jun shrugged.
"Before? Do I even have a chance to perform? "Luo Lang scoffed." I let Xie Yi handle everything … "
At the mention of this name, Luo Lang felt his heart clench in pain. Yes, at that time, as long as he focused on his cultivation, all the trivial matters around him would be taken care of by that person. After he was saved by Boss in the military academy, he didn't seem to have any trouble because of his appearance. Yes, before he could do anything, Xie Yi helped him solve it.
At that time, he felt that Xie Yi was a good brother. Xie Yi knew what he hated the most so he helped him solve it first. Now that he thought about it … was this really just brotherly love?
Luo Lang felt a little confused. Ever since Xie Yi had said 'I like you' at the very last moment, his world had been turned upside down. Now that he thought about their interactions back then, he felt as though there was something more to it.
"Forget it. I won't think about it if I can't figure it out." Luo Lang shook his head and pushed the confusion away. "When Xie Yi comes back, I'll be able to figure it out."
Ever since he brought the Jialan Ship back to the Lawless Lands, Boss hinted that Xie Yi might still be alive. This made Luo Lang ecstatic. Although Ling Lan also said that nothing was certain, Luo Lang trusted Boss Luo very much. However, Luo Lang trusted Boss completely so he was certain that Xie Yi was still alive. He would definitely come back.
"You're right …" Zhao Jun remembered Xie Yi, the person who was the closest to Xie Yi. He nodded in understanding.
However, he didn't expect the battle at the Qingri wormhole to be so tragic. They didn't even know if Xie Yi was still alive. Luckily, Boss said that Xie Yi should be fine. If not, he would have wanted to go back to the Federation and barge into the military headquarters to ask them for an explanation.
Zhao Jun still wanted to say something when he suddenly felt a wave of energy in front of him.
He exchanged glances with Luo Lang. Almost at the same time, the two of them disappeared. On the other side, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran also disappeared.
In the next second, the four of them appeared at the frontline of the battlefield. They stood in a fan formation behind Ji Ming and the other guardians.
On the other side, 12 people had already appeared. There were six of them on each side. They were all wearing the same uniform. However, the colors they chose were two extremes. On one side, there were black Daoist robes. On the other side, there were colorful robes that dazzled the eyes.
Ji Ming knew that the four of them weren't familiar with the Lawless Lands so he explained to them in a low voice. The group in black was Lord Li's six out of the twelve Daoists. The ones with the most dazzling colors were Lord Demon's six out of the twelve Daoists.
Six Daoists? When the four of them heard this, they almost couldn't maintain their facial expressions. Just think about it, six men dressed in flamboyant clothes and calling themselves Charming … It was really a little shameful.
"Then, this time, they only sent these 12 people?" Tang Ningyu was the one who controlled his emotions the best. He was the first to ask Ji Ming about the situation.
"Who knows." Ji Ming shook his head. "Maybe they're just the ones on the surface. There might be more behind them. Maybe there are only these 12 people."
"Actually, that's not the problem. Look behind those 12 people." Ji Ming pointed to a place further away.
There were many people standing there. Although they were far away, they could still see them clearly. It was as though they weren't far away from them.
"Those are mechas." Zhao Jun's eyes narrowed. This scale should be no less than 5000 people.
"Yes. Do you really think that this battle is just for us?" Said Ji Ming. "It's mainly for the mecha battle. We're just there to help. At the same time, it's also convenient for us to settle some grudges."
"Only 5000 mechas?" The two lords' alliance only had this number. To Zhao Jun, who had been through many battles and fought with hundreds of thousands or even millions of mechas, this number wasn't enough for him.
"This is just a test battle." Ji Ming looked at Zhao Jun with disdain. "There's a limit of 5000 mechas. When the real battle starts, how can there only be so few? Of course, these 5000 mechas are the elite mecha operators chosen by the two lords. Their combat power is even stronger. "
"There's actually a limit to the number of mechas in the battle …" Zhao Jun felt that this battle was just like playing house. It didn't feel real at all.
"This is the agreement between the 13 Lords. It must be followed. Other than this, everything else is real," said Ji Ming calmly. When he first entered the Lawless Lands, he also thought that this was a game. However, after experiencing countless battles and seeing countless people bleed, he understood that to the 13 Lords, this was just a game. However, to the people below them, every battle was a gamble that required them to put their lives on the line. No one knew who would be able to return.
Zhao Jun seemed to have understood the meaning behind Ji Ming's words. Originally, he didn't think much of it, but now, his expression became serious.
"I don't understand. Since the 13 Lords have a good relationship and can coexist peacefully, why do they still have to have a huge battle every year? Why do they have to make countless people bleed and sacrifice their lives?" Tang Ningyu, who was listening at the side, frowned and asked. He really couldn't accept this kind of rule. It was as if other than the 13 Lords, everyone else was an ant.
Ji Ming didn't reply. As a spy, he knew what this was for. They were doing this for the nations in the central region … However, he still didn't know whether this was for the Lawless Lands or for other reasons.
"It should be to raise Gu," Mu Chaoran thought for a moment and replied.
"Raise Gu?" Luo Lang looked at Mu Chaoran in confusion.
"Because the Lawless Lands are sealed off by the nations in the central region, although their economy is restricted and they can't develop, they still prevent enemies from invading." Mu Chaoran told him what he was thinking. "Life comes from hardship, and death comes from ease. Although this sentence doesn't seem to fit the situation in the Lawless Lands, it still has its meaning. Without the threat of external enemies, it's like being kept in captivity. It's very easy for the people in the Lawless Lands to lose their wildness and terrifying fighting capabilities. Also, isn't this the reason why the central region is so wary of the Lawless Lands? Once they lose this … the Lawless Lands will really be hopeless. "
"Without enemies, in order to maintain their combat power, they can only start a civil war." Mu Chaoran's words also reminded Tang Ningyu. He continued, "Through regular battles, the people of the Lawless Lands will always have a strong fighting spirit. They can also evolve and improve in the battlefield, eliminating a portion of the weak and leaving behind the strong ones."
Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu's words shocked Ji Ming. Was this the truth?
The 13 Lords didn't start all these battles just to put on a show for the nations in the central region. They also wanted to use this opportunity to make the people of the Lawless Lands stronger?
"This explanation makes sense," Zhao Jun said calmly. "Otherwise, there's no other explanation."
"But, in the end, they still have to kill each other, right?" Luo Lang asked. Was this a good reason? Luo Lang, who followed his instincts, was very uncomfortable with the 13 Lords' decision.
"Yes, no matter how good the reason is, it's still killing each other." Mu Chaoran's expression was a little cold. When people in power made decisions, they were usually cold and heartless.
PS: This chapter has more words than the previous one. It's to make up for the missing words in the previous chapter. I don't know why, but my condition hasn't been very good recently. I hope that I can adjust as soon as possible. That's it for today. Goodnight, everyone. Muacks.
