The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 95 — Brunette Man
Shui Zuo smiled at Lian Haocun's very sarcastic words, then said, “I can give you some other information regarding the demon race, as long as you want to ally with me. Plus you guys will get extra power to fight Baran right?”
“You just called the name of that Aries Demon General by the name of Baran, doesn't that mean you guys are very close?” Lian Huanran responded so sarcastically that Long Yuan trembled in fear, afraid that at any time Lian Huanran's head was out of place.
Shui Zuo does not deny it, “Indeed, we are very ‘near’ so that I can get information about your Master.”
Before Lian Huanran could respond, Lian Haocun said, “Then why don't you release our Master? That way maybe we will consider allying with you.”
Shui Zuo shook his head, “I can't do it.”
Lian Huanran felt even more annoyed, “Huh! Are you really sincere? It can't it can't. Then what's the point of us making you our ally?”
Shui Zuo sighed again and said in a nanar voice, “I'm very sincere. I am your ‘brother' Master, Shen Wenhuan... The brother I'm referring to here means a very close friendship. If you don't believe me, you can see this, this is the proof. This is a symbol of our friendship.”
Then Shui Zuo took out a light brown wooden plaque, on which the name Shen Wenhuan was inscribed in the hanzi mandarin. Lian Huanran was already intending to argue again with Shui Zuo and dismantle Shui Zuo's 'lie', but unexpectedly Lian Haocun stopped him.
Then Lian Haocun took out a similar wooden plaque from the storage ring that Shen Wenhuan gave her eight years ago. The plaque looked very similar, only the words it carved were different. The wooden plaque issued by Lian Haocun reads Shui Zuo in the form of hanzi mandarin as well.
Shui Zuo felt very pleased in his heart and thought, 'It turns out Wenhuan still keeps it...'
Lian Huanran's eyes widened in shock and his heart felt mixed. Lian Huanran felt her feelings of distrust towards Shui Zuo, but her logic trusted Shui Zuo. Moreover, there was evidence that was very clear and unconsciously the hostility and vigilance of Lian Huanran to Shui Zuo decreased.
Then Shui Zuo explained in a somewhat sad tone, “We met when Wenhuan was traveling.. At the beginning of our meeting, we felt very familiar like old friends who had been friends for years, so we ended up traveling together, exploring various places.
But time passed and Wenhuan had to return to his Sect, before I could tell him my true identity. That time felt so good, I couldn't forget it until now.
After Wenhuan returned, I returned to my race, I did not communicate with him anymore when he had returned to his Sect, however the paths of the demon race and the human race were different. Moreover, I was not prepared, just in case Wenhuan hated me after knowing my true identity.
Then I learned from Baran that he kidnapped Wenhuan... I originally wanted to save him, but that intention was granted, because other than Baran, the Demon General of Aries, there was also one other Demon General who was in the Afer Continent. I wasn't sure I could beat them both, so I looked for allies.”
Lian Haocun's facial expression remained unchanged at all. It was very different from Lian Huanran who was filled with complicated feelings and felt confused. So Lian Huanran just stayed in place and said nothing more.
Finally Lian Haocun opened his mouth, “Who are the other Demon Generals?”
Shui Zuo shook his head, “He did not appear before me at all, only appeared before Baran. It seems he suspected me of having the intention to betray.
Plus I'm not like other Demon Generals who kill as they please and don't do my job as a Demon General well.”
When saying the last sentence, Shui Zuo's gaze became rather sharp and there were angry emotions that could not be hidden.
Long Yuan, “...” This man still occupying the position of Demon General was a miracle.
Lian Haocun tried to get as much information as possible, “Then what is the purpose of the demon race invading the Afer Continent?”
Lian Huanran and Long Yuan, "..." Is this man really a Demon General?
Lian Haocun asked again, “Why did you choose us? We are still Golden Core Formation stage, not even reaching Nascent Soul stage.”
Shui Zuo responded in a surprised tone, “Hmm.., not knowing. Maybe it's destiny? Isn't that right, Mr Kang?”
Immediately Lian Huanran noticed the other man who was in the room, Long Yuan's attention that had been glued to Shui Zuo and Lian Haocun also turned to the man. Instantly his gaze became respectful and subconsciously Long Yuan straightened his body. Lian Huanran looked puzzled by Long Yuan's reaction and wondered inwardly, who the man really was.
The long tanned black haired man as Forest Leader Mofa did not respond to Shui Zuo's question and instead asked back, “Have finished?”
Shui Zuo did not reply and only smiled.
The tanned black-haired man surnamed Kang asked, “Then I go straight to the point, what are you going to this forest for?” While staring at Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran and Long Yuan with emotions that could not be defined.
Unknowingly Long Yuan's body trembled, while Lian Haocun who already knew who the man surnamed Kang was remained cold-faced.
Lian Huanran started to feel a little confused and whispered asking Long Yuan, “Who exactly is he?”
Long Yuan blinked his eyes and replied in a whisper as well, “He is a Pheonix magical beast ah! Time you don't know!? It was already clearly visible from the fire symbol on his forehead! By the way Huanran, you know what a Pheonix magical beast is?”
Of course Lian Huanran knew, her eyes widened in shock and she froze on the spot.
Lian Huanran immediately responded in a tone of disbelief, “How could the legendary bloodline magical beast be in the Mofa Forest? No.., one legendary bloodline magical beast that was in the Afer Continent alone was already very surprising!”
It was natural for Lian Huanran to react that way. After all the legendary bloodline magical beasts had an indisputable advantage from the moment they were born, since childhood they could already change shape to humans, already, though both rare and common bloodline magical beasts can only change shape to humans at the Demigod Stage.
Not only that legendary bloodline magic beasts could also already speak from the moment they were born plus their Innate level would not be low! Naturally, even a legendary bloodline-striped magical beast would possess a natural skill that absolutely could not compare to a rare bloodline-striped magical beast.
Pheonix was one of those legendary bloodline magical beasts. Plus Pheonix was so famous that even Lian Huanran who only rarely read books only knew about it. Pheonix's natural skill is resurrection from the dead and has the nickname ‘King of the Fire of the Sun’ as well as being a symbol of immortality.
Long Yuan whispered the information that made Lian Huanran even more surprised, “Said only three Pheonix left..
Lian Huanran suddenly recalled that her sister had once mocked the tanned black-haired man who was a legendary bloodline magical beast, Pheonix! In an instant, Lian Huanran felt extremely anxious and panicked for the fate of her Brother.
Undeniably, Pheonix was one of the legendary bloodline-striped magical beasts that an ordinary person would probably never be able to see in his entire life.
While Lian Huanran and Long Yuan were whispering to each other, Lian Haocun answered the tanned black-haired man's question, “We want to borrow the small magical beasts from Mofa Forest.”
The man surnamed Kang asked in a calm tone, “What is our advantage if we lend our magical beast to you?”
