Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 822 – North-west line

Yuwen Wuming’s heart was heavy, and pretended to be carefree. In truth, in An Zheng’s eyes, it was not hidden at all. Yuwen Clan was currently in an awkward position with Da Xi. After all, a prince had fallen in Yuwen Clan’s mansion, and no one could explain it clearly even if they wanted to. Furthermore, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that the head of the Yuwen Clan had resolutely decided to risk his life in the capital just because of this matter. To trade a life for a life, the Yuwen Clan had actually profited.

However, although the Yuwen Clan was saved, their position in the Holy See was not as strong as before. In the past, he had always kept a low profile, but now, he would be in dire straits if he didn’t need to be swayed. The two youths from Yuwen Clan were in fact, individuals in the capital.

An Zheng was similarly weighed down by matters of the heart. When two people with heavy hearts walked together, they seemed to act as if nothing had happened, so it was inevitable that the topic of conversation would become awkward as well.

“We’re right in front.”

Yuwen Wuming pointed to a large green grassland, witow of thatched huts visible in the distance. An Zheng’s mind was in turmoil, but he was immediately sealed by the Dao Sect’s seal in his left eye. He did not dare to be careless Old Cow’s warning to An Zheng.

The closer they got to An Zheng, the more Yuwen Wuming observed him. He was a straightforward and generous person, which was why he couldn’t be hidden. An Zheng pretended that he did not discover anything, because this was obviously the Holy Emperor Chen Wunuo’s arrangement.

The old cow was still lying on the ground outside the low fenced area. The grass around him was still slightly bald from eating too much. The old cow looked at An Zheng and the other two as if he was bored to death, before he continued to lower his head and closed his eyes, appearing to be very tired.

A young man from Star Observation Pavilion wearing a white linen robe walked over with a smile. After he walked in front of An Zheng and Yuwen Wuming, he bent down slightly: “Greetings, Daoist Chen, Greetings, Sir Yuwen. My Pavilion Master told me to wait here for you two. If there is anything that you need my help with, just say so. ”

He looked like a kind-looking young man, with a sincere and unassuming smile. An Zheng and Yuwen Wuming returned the greeting at the same time, then laughed: “There’s nothing I need to trouble you about, I was just curious and came over to take a look.”

That young man said, “I will accompany you. If you think of anything, just tell me, I will be ordered to accompany you. The pavilion master has told me to speak without reserve. If the two of you have anything that you need to ask me, please do not be courteous. ”

An Zheng laughed and nodded, he kept feeling that there was something strange in this young man’s eyes. Even Yuwen Wuming couldn’t tell what was wrong with this young man, because he didn’t have An Zheng’s previous life. As someone who had handled cases for many years, what kind of person had An Zheng not seen before? At first glance, this young man did not look strange, but An Zheng felt that he was a little strange. After thinking about it carefully, An Zheng confirmed that the strangeness was in that pair of eyes … An Zheng had a misconception that this young man’s eyes were not his.

About a mile away from where the old cow was, in an ordinary looking wooden house. The Pavilion Master of the Star Observation Pavilion, Tan Shanse, was sitting cross-legged on his bed. He was clearly sitting in front of the empty room, but he seemed to be looking at something fun and interesting, and he was looking at it with great interest.

When the Old Bull raised its head to look at An Zheng, there was no grief or joy in its eyes. It was as if he was looking at someone else in the big courtyard who would visit him from time to time, and An Zheng was the same. When he looked at the Old Cow, his expression did not change at all.

“Do you think this old cow is stupid?”

The young man from Star Observation Pavilion pointed at the old cow and laughed, “No one has tied him up, but he never leaves this place, he only nibbles at the surrounding weeds. He would rather starve than get up to graze in a slightly further place after he finished eating all the grasses around him. He would have to wait for the new grass to grow. I think it’s either lazy to the extreme or stupid to the extreme. “Of course, animals and humans cannot be compared in the same breath. A beast is a beast.”

He looked at An Zheng with a faint smile.

“Yeah, what a fool.”

An Zheng looked at the old cow.

The young man acknowledged, “There’s something even more foolish. At the beginning, it resisted, but later on, when it was time to extract the blood, it just laid there waiting, as if it knew that there was no point in struggling. Don’t just look at him as a beast, the Cultivation Power really cannot be underestimated.

An Zheng acknowledged: “Yes, a beast is still a beast.”

The old ox raised its head and shot him a furious glare.

“Look, he can even glare at people!”

The young man went up and gave the old cow a kick, then placed it on the old cow’s mouth. “You can’t be merciful to animals. There’s only one way to teach these beasts a lesson, and that is to beat them up. Now, its meridians and Cultivation Power were sealed, and every single acupoint was nailed to the ground. “No matter how arrogant he was in the past, he’s just an ordinary old cow now. Even if he were to stew meat, it wouldn’t taste good anymore.”

He kicked at An Zheng with his foot, “Do you want to try? This was actually quite a good feeling. An ancient cow that even the Dragon Lion and Divine Beasts did not dare to provoke. Now, I can even kick it a few times … Life is really interesting. ”

He asked An Zheng, “Do you want to try?”

An Zheng shook his head: “I don’t think it’s that interesting.”

Pointing to the thatched cottage not too far away, he said, “This old beast is very interesting. Although he knows that this is not his home in the Immortal palace, perhaps because he looks exactly the same, he would often misunderstand that this is his home. Occasionally, he would turn his head to look at that thatched cottage and cry … Hahahaha, a beast can actually shed tears, I don’t know if it misses home or what. ”

An Zheng replied with an “oh”, as if he had lost all interest in the old cow. He turned around and glanced at Yuwen Wuming: “An old bull that used to stand at the top has now fallen to this stage. I no longer have any interest in watching him anymore. Originally, I wanted to see if I could gain some insights from him, but now, I can only see an ordinary old bull waiting to be slaughtered. ”

Yuwen Wuming didn’t have much interest in the beginning, and felt that the young man was going too far. No matter what, this old cow was once a sacred object at the peak of the world. Now, Star Observation Pavilion would casually come over and kick him twice, which would make people feel uncomfortable.

“Let’s go.”

Yuwen Wuming nodded, then turned and left with An Zheng.

One mile away, Tan Shanse who was inside the thatched cottage frowned slightly, and muttered to himself: “Could I have seen wrongly?”

After leaving the hunting grounds, An Zheng bade farewell to Yuwen Wuming, looking a little disappointed. Yuwen Wuming said apologetically that he would treat you to some fun things next time, and this time was indeed meaningless. After he said his goodbyes, An Zheng walked towards the Hollow Jade Temple alone as he cried.

Imperial Palace, quiet garden.

Chen Wunuo nodded after hearing Wen En’s report, “Looks like Chen Liuxi doesn’t have any special feelings for that old cow either. “Let him bring his men to the northwest. The chaos of the demon beasts there is too rampant. He has trained with those six hundred people for quite some time now. It’s time to bring them out and see if they can fight for the great Xi.”

Wen En lowered his hand: “This old servant will pass down the orders right now.”

Halfway there, Chen Wunuo instructed again, “Tell Chen Liuxi not to force it. His life is much heavier than those six hundred people. In my opinion, six hundred people, six thousand people, and sixty thousand people are not even equal to him. We can help him choose more out of these six hundred people, but he shouldn’t be too impulsive. ”

Wen En said in his heart that his Majesty truly valued Chen Liuxi, so after he agreed, he went straight to the Hollow Jade Temple.

After An Zheng returned to the Hollow Jade Temple, he locked himself in his room. No one knew what he was going to do. Even Gu Qianye had only said a few times that he wanted to rest, other people would not be able to see him.

No one knew just how much of an impulse An Zheng had restrained at that moment. He even wanted to contact the ship and ask the Oldman Huo to control the strongest weapon on the boat to attack the hunting grounds and bring away the old ox and Dragon Lion. Only, An Zheng held back this time, if he was this impulsive, he might cause all of State of Yan’s citizens to be thrown into it. But even so, since ancient times, he was the only one who thought of bombarding Jinling.

Not long after, Wen En came over and passed down the order for An Zheng to bring the six hundred elite soldiers to the northwest region to kill the Goblin Beasts. An Zheng calmly looked as if he had agreed, and then, early the next morning, he led the group and left the Jinling. Regardless of whether the pavilion master Tan Shanse, who was waiting for the situation to develop, or the Sacred Emperor, had made up his mind.

Hearing that An Zheng had already brought his group to the northwest direction, Pavilion Master Tan Shanse obviously did not believe him.

“I know him.”

Tan Shanse sneered and said: “It’s not the first time I’ve interacted with this person. He doesn’t know how I’ve interacted with him, but I havhorough understanding of his personality. “There’s no doubt that he met that old ox in the immortal palace. He will definitely think of a way to save that old cow …”

Lu Wan Rou said, “But, if he really does that, there won’t be any benefit at all.”

“Benefits?”

Tan Shanse said: “You think he’s someone who does things for benefits? No matter if it’s that An Zheng in the State of Yan or the Chen Liuxi in the current Da Xi, he has never been one to do things for benefits. ”

Lu Wan Rou replied, “You said that you understand him, but Pavilion Master, when did you come into contact with this person? I think we should report this to the Sacred Emperor. No matter what the Sacred Emperor decides to do, it has nothing to do with us, the Star Observation Pavilion. “I am not worried about anything else. I am worried that if His Majesty finds out in the future, it will be detrimental to you.”

Tan Shanse laughed, “Unfavorable? If I really run over to tell the Sacred Emperor that I know who that person is, it would be really bad for me. The Sacred Emperor only asked me one thing, you have never left the Jinling before, how do you know who he is? ”

He looked at Lu WanRou and asked, “What did I say?”

Lu Wan Rou was stunned. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say. She was only worried for Tan Shanse. Whether it was the Sacred Emperor or that whatever An Zheng, it had nothing to do with her.

“Fortunately, that old bull isn’t that important anymore.”

Tan Shanse got up, “Let’s go to the Royal Tomb. Chen Liuxi has gone to the northwest, it’s about time for us to experience the world. I only found the correct method more than twenty years ago, and adding on the accumulated wealth of all of the previous Pavilion Masters, I have not wasted my time … This is the truly earth-shattering event. ”
