Novel Bin Chapter 1006 - Merging of the Soul (5)
At the heart of this wondrous place, Lord Chu Ran was currently feeling quite uneasy as he stared at the bronze gate in front of himself.
“Elder Zheng Qi (frist), I keep getting this unsettling feeling recently that something bad is about to happen.”
The first elder heaves a sigh in return: “Lord, you are overthinking this too much. The world right now is very peaceful so don’t think too much of it.”
“I hope so.” Making a bittersweet smile, Lord Chu Ran wanted to believe that. However, the unease only grew like a dark gloomy cloud hovering over his heart.
Perhaps he’s really jinxed it but its then an urgent looking guard of the Holy Land came running over, his face showed panic and unease when kneeling. “Milord, there is an old man by the name of Jun Huo seeing an audience with you.”
Jun Huo?
It took a moment before the Holy Lord realized who this individual was and where he’s heard the name. What’s going on? Why is the spy Yan’er sent back to the Spirit Realm over here again? It can’t be…. something bad is going to happen?
Making a dark and glum face: “Let him come in at once.”
“Yes milord,” the guard bowed and retreated in haste.
……
Back over on the other side, Jun Huo was currently pacing back and forth outside the main gate when he suddenly realized how devoid of human presence his surroundings were.
To think we have fallen to so low…. A bittersweet smile curls out of the senior’s lip, making him all the more sad in appearance.
Despite not being favored back in the Spirit Realm, none would openly provoke go provoke his lady’s territory knowing how strong Liu Qing Yu was. But now, a simple audience with the Holy Lord requires someone to inform the host first instead of bringing him right inside. That’s a very different sort of greeting if it was in the past.
Of course, the discontent was still only discontent, this old senior would never dare show it on the surface. After all, this place was Bai Yan’s territory. He be courting death to start anything here.
Minutes later, the gatekeeper returns with a tone that’s more respectful than their initial meeting: “Senior Jun, please head on inside, the Lord is already waiting inside.”
……
Along the way, there were countless disciples constantly peering over, their eyes extremely curious as to who this old grandpa was. Nevertheless, Jun Huo never met their gazes, only following closely behind the gatekeeper so that he would hurry up in the feet.
Minutes later after many twists and turns through the forest and gravel pathways, they have arrived at the central island housing Bai Yan’s bamboo cottage.
“I remember Bai Yan had you go back to the Spirit Realm to act as a spy for her, why did you return so soon? Is there something you need to say by seeking me out?” Lord Chu Ran makes a frown that couldn’t be missed.
Hurrying over with his hand cusp into a respective manner: “Holy Lord, I came at the behest of my lady to pass on a critical message.”
“What message?” A wave of unease shook Chu Ran’s heart. His worst fears are starting to come true, he could feel it.
“It’s those people from the Spirit Realm…. They want to attack the mainland, and this time they don’t intend to leave anyone alive, not even the civilians!”
Boom!
The news was like a heavy hammer, smashing into the Holy Lord’s heart until its crushed and scattered to pieces.
“What did you say?” First Elder Zheng Qi snaps, his expression frantic as he grabbed onto the other man’s collar: “What kind of master do you have over there? How can he intend to slaughter everyone, and the innocents as well?”
Damn it!
