Chapter 104 With Utter Disregard

He was lost in thought, completely unaware of who his enemies were.

Wei Yuan brought Zhang Xiaoyu and Lin Ling'er to Longhu Mountain.

And beyond that rift to the mountains and seas...

Upon a desolate and vast mountain, precious jades imbued with rich spiritual energy were visible everywhere. Below, a forest of bronze weapons and swords stood tall. A river flowed forth, its waters crimson. A towering figure sat upon it. Strange sounds echoed continuously through the air, like the sounds of chewing.

A figure knelt on the ground, answering respectfully,

"...The target is confirmed. The sword intent is extremely strong, unprecedented."

"In terms of skill alone, this subordinate is short-sighted but feels that he is almost touching the realm of Dayi."

"However, the death energy in his body is extremely dense."

"I fear that within seven days, his body will gradually collapse. From what I understand, this is a terminal illness for humans, caused by the battle with Taotie. Although he withstood the intense aftershocks of the great sun's fall and the direct impact, he chose to attack Taotie, leaving him unable to defend."

"It's like allowing swords and blades to enter his body when facing an attack."

"Injuries and illnesses that could have been avoided have become inevitable."

"Something else is influencing his physical body."

"It is his own illness."

"The stronger the human, the more intense this illness will be."

The chewing sounds continued.

The towering figure exhaled, lowered its gaze, and said slowly,

"So, he only has a little over ten days to live?"

"You have done well... Now I know how to deal with him."

The kneeling figure smiled and said,

"This subordinate did not fight him. I merely drove away a fierce beast and observed from the sidelines."

"I easily learned his weaknesses. Such a person has too many flaws."

"Since he was willing to abandon his defense to punish Taotie, he would certainly have taken action in that situation just now."

There was mockery and disdain in his voice.

As well as a hint of self-satisfaction.

But suddenly, he noticed regret in the eyes of the towering figure.

And then, another kind of look surfaced in that figure's eyes...

Feng Siyu: "..."

The smiling facade couldn't hold on any longer.

"What about mine?!"

Museum Director Wei widened his eyes.

Feng Siyu took a half step back: "The doctor said you can't eat grilled food."

Wei Yuan said: "...Who paid for this?"

"You did!"

Wei Yuan said: "I paid for it. Don't I get a share?"

"Do you think that's appropriate?"

Feng Siyu said plausibly:

"Museum Director Wei, you're an adult. You can't snatch food from us, can you?"

In the end, Feng Siyu still gave the secretly hidden grilled corn to Wei Yuan. After climbing Longhu Mountain, he found Zhang Ruosu and told him what happened. The old Celestial Master frowned slightly, waved his horsetail whisk, and said, "It's alright. These two children can stay on Longhu Mountain for now."

"Your concerns are necessary. However, Wei Yuan, do you have any impression of who did this?"

Wei Yuan shook his head.

The black cat-like creature was at the computer desk, waving its paws and frantically spraying at the opponent. Next to it, Longhu Mountain's number one big cat held a small dried fish, dutifully playing the role of a lackey. Wei Yuan took some time to look at the battle record, 3-34-1, a bit too horrible to bear.

But looking at the black cat-like creature's series of flashy moves,

That didn't seem like the record it should have.

Wei Yuan was silent.

He looked at the furious black cat-like creature.

He looked at the old Celestial Master with a cat paw print on his face.

Wei Yuan seemed to understand something, carefully choosing his words, and said:

"Daoist Zhang..."

"I heard a story."

"There was a restaurant whose takeout was especially bad, and someone bought it back and fed the dog a bite."

"That person's dog got up in the middle of the night and made him four dishes and a soup."

"You..."

Wei Yuan's eyes were sincere.

He seemed to have said nothing.

But he also seemed to have said everything.

Because his skills were too poor, Zhang Ruosu, who was kicked away by the black cat-like creature because it could no longer tolerate watching, was silent, his lips twitching, and he lowered his head to drink tea. Wei Yuan looked with pity at the old Daoist who gave himself the name 'Disdain for Godhood', and looked at the battle record on the computer.

*You make food that even dogs won't eat.jpg.*

*You play games that even cats can't stand to watch.jpg*

It seemed that the 'Invincible God of the Qihuai River' in the mid lane was originally playing quite well.

But he was nearly dragged to defeat by the old Daoist.

Now the black cat-like creature was passionately arguing with that God.

Its little paws were frantically operating on the keyboard, almost creating afterimages.

Shaking his head, Wei Yuan withdrew his gaze, chatted with Zhang Ruosu for a few words, and when he went out, he encountered the Daughter Kingdom's honor guard. Kua Lin wasn't there, and the female general who had led the team before had a stern expression. Noticing Wei Yuan, she frowned, but still nodded and said, "So it's Tu Shan Ge Xia."

"It's been a while."

Wei Yuan nodded in return with some effort.

The female general said politely, "Our alliance with the human world is basically complete. We may return to our country after some time. However, there are two women who are not from our Daughter Kingdom. Instead, they took the opportunity to wear armor and smuggle themselves into the human world. We've been looking for them for the past few days but haven't been able to find them."

"Tu Shan Ge Xia can keep an eye out. If you have any clues, you can tell us."

Armor?

Although Wei Yuan was a little curious, he didn't think too much about it. He just nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

The female general nodded and walked towards the Daughter Kingdom's side. To be honest, these elites from the Daughter Kingdom didn't have a very good impression of this Tu Shanyuan. In fact, they often chatted about it in private these days and were a little resentful. They couldn't understand why their country's invincible general would be fond of a mortal who seemed to be dying soon.

What the Daughter Kingdom expected was a powerful warrior, unparalleled bravery.

But the aura of the person in front of them was so weak that it seemed like he could be seriously injured and fall down at any moment.

Noticing the polite and distant gazes over there, Zhang Ruosu shook his head and said, "...You, you're being disliked."

Wei Yuan said, "It doesn't matter."

"Then I'll go down the mountain first. I'll leave Xiaoyu and the other two to you."

"Don't worry."

At this moment, Wei Yuan and Zhang Ruosu's voices paused. A gloomy aura appeared. The two of them raised their heads slightly, subconsciously looking in the direction where the aura appeared, and the expressions on their faces sank slightly.

There were no mountain and sea rifts at Longhu Mountain, but at this moment, a crack burst out in the world.

Then, a vast and cold aura surged and emerged.

Just like what happened at the Weiming Sect before, the entire mountain and sea rift glowed with a rich, deep streamer, and then a domineering aura surged and dissipated. The Daughter Kingdom elite mounts that lived near Longhu Mountain, those Longhu beasts, felt this aura, and their emotions began to change drastically. They roared and howled in a low voice. Even the fierce tiger mount that Kua Lin had left here was the same.

The female general was shocked and quickly went to appease them.

This was a ferocious beast with the bloodline of a divine beast. If it went berserk, even she would have a hard time controlling it. If such a beast led three thousand Longhu to riot on Longhu Mountain, then the newly established alliance was likely to be affected, and if there were any casualties, it might be scrapped.

Then she discovered that the tiger's emotions made it impossible for it to go berserk.

It was afraid.

The Daughter Kingdom's general's pupils constricted.

She suddenly turned her head to look.

In the sky, a scroll broke through the mountain and sea rift, and then fell directly, surging and vast, transmitting messages across the two realms.

The handwriting was extremely large, and the aura was domineering and vigorous.

Wei Yuan pointed his fingers together and slashed, extending his palm.

He took the scroll in his hand.

A wave of air spread out, and the surrounding wind and clouds surged. Wei Yuan unfolded it smoothly, raised his eyes and scanned it, his expression slowly condensing. Zhang Ruosu frowned next to him, waiting quietly. After Wei Yuan finished reading the scroll, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "...I know who took action just now. So that's it. He was testing my condition. No wonder he chose this time."

Zhang Ruosu was stunned, puzzled.

Wei Yuan handed the scroll to him casually.

The old Daoist unfolded the scroll, scanned it with his eyes, and his pupils contracted.

'I heard that Your Majesty cut down Taotie with his sword, and his sharpness is unparalleled.'

'Although I am not talented, I should ask for guidance.'

'Ten days later, I would like to fight.'

The signature.

"...The untalented son of the Jinyun Clan."

"Taotie."
