Blood Moon Hunters - Chapter 314
Chapter 314 Eternal Emperor, Little Nannan
In Eight Diagram Tactics, a 10-foot-wide golden light penetrated through the sky.
“Boom!”
The next moment, there was another loud noise. Everyone on the tactic came under the golden light, which was where Wang Bugui was located.
“Is Big Brother coming out?” Zhao Changge asked.
“It’s almost a month, we all have progress. Big Brother’s skills are better than mine, he must be trying to overcome some difficult stage,” Feng Tianming frowned and said.
“This is such a big movement, could Big Brother be breaking through the Third State?” Chu He exclaimed.
“This…”
Everyone raised their brows in shock. If this was the case, then Wang Bugui was too scary! In just one month, he directly jumped from the middle of Second State to the Third State.
Besides, this was creating Tao Law, not just ordinary cultivation. It was a lot more difficult than that. If he really managed to break through, it would be more terrifying than seeing a ghost; they would be seeing an immortal!
“Friend Bugui had just gone through thousands of years. After my small test and Eternal Emperor’s advice, he is improving significantly.”
At this moment, Zhuge Liang slowly came behind everyone. He was dressed in white and still kept the same peaceful old-man look. He gently shook his feather fan. Describing him as a sage was most suitable.
“Prime Minister, Zilong seems to feel that Friend Bugui is in a very strange state. Why is this?” Zhao Yun also came out.
Zhuge Liang nodded slowly and said, “General, you have good sight. Friend Bugui is not trying to improve. Instead, he has only just figured out the best way to enter the Third State. I’m afraid it will take some time for him to successfully advance.”
“Then let’s continue to wait. After Big Brother comes out, the tomb of immortals should start to appear,” Yu Wude said as he rested his chin on his hand.
He and Shangguan Yiyi successfully took over the Eight Diagram Tactics heritage last night.
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, “No, you all won’t be able to wait for him to come out.”
“Why?” Leng Yueyan’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly.
Hearing this, Zhuge Liang turned around. His brows were furrowed tightly. He said, “I recently calculated the Heavenly Path and found that there will be a change coming soon. If I am right, it should be the disaster that Ying Zheng talked about!”
“What?!”
Hearing this, everyone looked at him in shock. They did not expect this disaster to come so soon. They thought that the two months that Ying Zheng said was really close to two months. They never thought it would come suddenly after one month.
“Whoo!”
“Oh!”
At this moment, Blood Demon King and Lyu Bu emerged from the Small Pendant and double-bladed halberd one after another.
“I also have a hunch that the world will change!” Blood Demon King frowned and said.
“Is it a war? I will listen to you all’s commands. As long as I still have some primordial spirit, I will fight!” Lyu Bu said resolutely.
“Big Capables, please don’t rush. According to my speculation, the fastest this could happen is in two days. Besides, we still have a leader that has yet to come back,” Zhuge Liang smiled and said.
“Prime Minister, are you talking about Senior Ying Zheng?” Shangguan Yiyi asked softly.
“Exactly. Without this Eternal Emperor, there is no way we can rise against this disaster. Everyone, prepare yourselves to welcome this catastrophe.”
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan gently and set his gaze afar. His gaze was like a streak of light, it quickly crossed through the mountains and fell on an ancient street.
“Hmm?”
Amidst the crowds, an imposing man stopped to stare at the sky behind him.
“Haha… he’s still such an interesting person. Seems like it’s time to go back. After all, this world is not Great Qin, there are a lot less water and green mountains, but there are some new forms of beauty.”
“At the end of the day, am I still a bit reluctant to leave? Never mind. Being able to protect this place at the last moment leaves me with no regret.”
This person was Ying Zheng. He was wearing a simple suit, but anyone could tell that he had a unique dominant aura. His gaze was one of its kind.
He walked with his back straight, as if he was surveying the world. After muttering to himself for a while, he turned to leave the crowd.
“Uncle, where are you going?”
Just when he turned around, a little hand of a kid grabbed onto his left hand. Ying Zheng was stunned. He turned slowly and stared at the little girl who was only seven or eight years old.
He frowned and said, “Little girl, you have followed me for a month. What exactly do you want?”
“Uncle, uncle… Little Nannan will not disturb you, I will be very good, don’t leave me…” The little girl sobbed and said.
She wore a white bunny dress and was very cute, just like a finely-carved porcelain doll. The baby fat on her tiny face was extremely soft and tender. She grabbed onto Ying Zheng with one hand.
In the other hand, she was holding onto a stick of candied haw. This was a treat she just pleaded Ying Zheng to buy for her.
“Kid, how can you be so timid? I didn’t punish you, I just told you to stop following me, why are you crying?” Ying Zheng frowned.
“Nannan… has no father and mother, only you…” Little Nannan said with tears in her eyes. She looked very pitiful and her voice was so pure. She was so lovable and pitiable.
However, Ying Zheng was troubled. He was the Eternal Emperor. After ascending the throne at age 13, he had been fighting his own life. How could he have had the chance of bringing a young girl?
He had saved this little girl from a trafficker when he ‘privately visited’ the world. That group of bastards wanted to sell children like her to become wives!
Feeling triggered, Ying Zheng killed that group of people, leaving no scum behind. He even got rid of those whom they know doing the same line of work.
Afterward, he wanted to send the girl home, but after searching his mind sea, he found that it was her parents who actually sold her to this group of traffickers!
Ying Zheng could not help but think of his life experience. He was sent to the country of Chu at an early age. He suffered indescribable ridicules in his childhood. At that moment, he got so triggered and killed her parents.
After they were executed, Ying Zheng did not just go on his way. Instead, he took Little Nannan on a journey to find a home. However, in such a ruthless society, he could not find anyone that he was confident of leaving her with.
Even after he searched through the mind sea of countless people, it was still difficult to find suitable parents. There were just too few people who could raise her up like their own child. After all, stepparents do not have the same relationship as someone blood-related to the child.
As for those who were willing to raise her up, Ying Zheng worried about her future. Either they were too poor or they were rich but did not teach their children well.
He could only have a long sigh and improve the conditions of the families that were good-hearted. Then, he let this girl with a bitter life follow him as he went to places. Today, he was going to leave to rush back to that battlefield full of murderous intent.
He was embracing the battle with the determination to fight until he dies. How could he bring Little Nannan along to suffer with him?
However, the innocent and pitiable Nannan pleaded him not to leave. His heart that had not been touched in over 2000 years was feeling reluctant to leave her behind!
“Little Nannan, uncle is going to a very dangerous place, you can’t follow me. Be obedient. Otherwise, Uncle will not buy anything for you to eat,” Ying Zheng put on a serious front and said.
“No!”
Little Nannan screamed desperately and even threw her candied haw away. She hugged onto Ying Zheng’s leg and cried, “Nannan don’t want to leave uncle! No! Boo…”
“Eh, what’s happening?”
“Oh my, what a lovely little girl! Why is she crying?”
“What’s wrong with this man? He doesn’t even care about her. Does his heart not ache to see this?”
“Is he thinking of abandoning the child? What a poor little girl. He’s so ruthless!”
…
Soon, people on the street started gathering around them. They were being busybodies, a trait of Hua Xia people and all pointed at Ying Zheng and scolded him. However, they would not step forward to do anything. They just kept on making comments.
“You guys!”
Ying Zheng exploded. He could not stand himself being verbally disciplined by a bunch of ordinary folks. He inadvertently revealed a weak trace of his Imperatorial Power, causing everyone to go away.
Everyone’s hair stood on ends like needles. Cold sweat ran all over their bodies. They trembled uncontrollably and almost wanted to kneel down instinctively.
When Ying Zheng saw Little Nannan also trembling violently, he immediately removed his Imperatorial Power. He frowned and carried Little Nannan, saying, “I can help you find a suitable family, don’t suffer with me.”
“I don’t want! Nannan wants to be with uncle! I don’t want anyone else, uncle is the best!!” Little Nannan used all her strength to shake her head.
“Kid, why don’t you listen?! I’m doing this for your good. If you follow me, you will be sad too!” Ying Zheng shouted,
It was not that he did not want to keep the little girl, but he could not. How could he not tell that she was beginning to rely on him?
If he could, he could even let Little Nannan enjoy the benefits of princess of Great Qin and treat her like a jewel. However, he could not do it because he was already dead.
Now that there was another crisis, perhaps a few days later, he would also disappear like the puff of smoke. Little Nannan would only become sadder if she followed him. By then, she would still have no home to return to.
“But you’re all that I have left in my family… you’re also the only one left in my world…” Little Nannan sobbed and said. Her tears fell like beans.
Ying Zheng looked at his sleeve which was already wet. There was an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He could not bear to leave this poor little girl behind!
He was the Eternal Emperor who ruled the world and the Taoist world 2,000 years ago! He was known to be cold-hearted and ruthless. Today, he could not bear to watch this little girl cry?!
“Then you must be obedient and do whatever I say. Otherwise, I will abandon you!” Ying Zheng said with a sullen face.
Hearing this, Little Nannan immediately stopped crying. She put on a bright smile that shone like the sun. She nodded hard and said with a smile, “Nannan will be obedient! I will definitely, definitely be obedient!”
Ying Zheng was really helpless. He could only bring the little girl and left. After he disappeared in the crowd, those people returned to normal.
They all lied on the ground and dared not move. Their faces were as pale as if they had seen a ghost. They did not dare to look towards the adult and child’s direction at all.
