Long Live Summons

Heavenly Splendour Territory, Zhi Feng Country, Green Willow City.

Ming Ri Hao saw Yue Yang again after two days. Somehow, this kid was smiling cheekily as if he was a sly fox who managed to steal some little chicks. He asked, “What happened to you? You didn’t go to some odd place to pull some tricks on some girl, did you, you brat?”

Yue Yang naturally denied it. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

Things like elevating Princess Qian Qian’s Guardian Beast, the White Tiger, to a Divine Beast, and even turning her into a real ‘white tiger’— the double satisfaction of this sense of accomplishment and unexpected surprises truly made him very proud, but this could only be beautiful only to him. Only he was allowed to reminisce about it slowly, and it would never be something to share. He waved to Ming Ri Hao, saying that it was his business, telling the hard-pressed uncle to keep his hands to himself.

Ming Ri Hao wasn’t the kind of person who liked gossip and he didn’t like to inquire about other people’s matters either. In fact, he was just curious about Yue Yang;s change in expression, which led him to ask the question.

So he didn’t really care even if Yue Yang wasn’t going to tell him.

It’s just this kid’s proud and happy spring-like mood which contrasted with his own damp bleakness made Ming Ri Hao unhappy for a brief moment.

He had never been as depressed in meeting anyone else, but with this kid, he just felt desolate. He guessed that it was probably a cruel joke that the Gods of Fate played on him, “Tomorrow is the birthday banquet, are you sure you want to attack?” Ming Ri Hao was angry, but he still valued Yue Yang. Although he kind of hated this cunning boy, he was still a first-rate ruthless man with an accredited strategy and success rate. There was absolutely no loss in cooperating with him.

“Actually, I just wanted to squeeze out the secrets of the Wind-Stopping Swamp and understand the Heavenly Splendour Territory. Now that I have you, I don’t have to make cliché conversations with the Lord of Zhi Feng. I think the original plan can be revised— if the fugitive slave in your family is not there, then we don’t have to startle the snakes. In this way, you can first describe the current and hidden power of the Heavenly Splendour Territory in detail. After that, I will see how to arrange my plans around them,” Yue Yang had already talked to Yue Yu before his cultivation yesterday. Princess Qian Qian and the others discussed it and felt that the plan did not have to be carried out as originally intended, especially when an unknown and powerful enemy was lurking behind. Exposing the full strength of their own side at once was a very passive behaviour.

“What if the fugitive slave is there?” Ming Ri Hao naturally put his obsession in the first place.

“Then there’s nothing to say about that; catch what should be caught, kill what should be killed,” Yue Yang laughed. He was not someone who hesitated, nor was he someone who feared the consequences of his actions.

“Okay,” Ming Ri Hao first applauded before he nodded to Yue Yang. He stated, “If the fugitive slave is really there, I;m ceratin that I can arrest her, but I cannot promise the accuraccy of time. As an ally, I can understand and take your concerns and best interests into account. As long as it doesn’t affect your plans, I will try my best to cooperate.”

“Let’s talk about the general situation first, everything else can be discussed slowly,” Yue Yang wanted to know if there was a person as powerful as Ji Wu Ri in the Heavenly Splendour Territory.

No matter what, there was news of a Divine Grimoire here.

There was no reason as to why the people in the Central Palace wouldn’t know about the news. If they knew about it, they wouldn’t remain stagnant either.

Especially through Ji Wu Ri’s diligent pursuit of the Divine Grimoire of the Land of Trials, Yue Yang could guess of a possible situation that was occurring in the Central Palace— there was also a fierce struggle between the powerhouses of Ji Wu Ri’s level. In his dreams, Ji Wu Ri wanted to contract the Divine Grimoire and climb the Divine ranks and become a true God. Hence, there was no reason that the two people who possessed the same strength wouldn’t act the same way.

What’s more was that even if there weren’t Central Palace powerhouses like Ji Wu Ri keeping an eye on the Divine Grimoire, there were countless Rankers who were merely one level lower than Ji Wu Ri. Did none of them know about the Divine Grimoire in the Heavenly Splendour Territory?

This is a Divine Grimoire we’re talking about!

Yue Yang wouldn’t believe that not one person expressed their interest in it even if someone were to beat him up with that fake truth.

Ming Ri Hao was a little hesitant at first, thinking that speaking out directly would arouse this kid’s fighting spirit and cause him to charge forward without hesitation. In the Prison Emperor Divine Palace, this kid was still a scum as he dared to challenge Void and Jiuxiao who were part of the Three Leaders of the Western Heaven Realm.

Now that this kid had grown up, what else was there for him to be afraid of with his guts?

However, Yue Yang was staring at him with his eyes that looked like they were about to emit lightrays like Ultraman.

As a result, Ming Ri Hao reported several names to Yue Yang with the secret technique of sound transmission. Then, he briefly explained the strength and power behind these names.

When Yue Yang heard this, he stood up, turned around and left.

“Where are you going?” Ming Ri Hao hurriedly stopped this kid. He thought to himself that if this kid really tried to go now and wouldn’t call it quits, there was going to be pandemonium. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have told him for the time being and just deceived him for a while before talking about it later on. Just as Ming Ri Hao secretly regretted his decision, Yue Yang’s answer made him almost fall to the ground.

Because what Yue Yang said was, “‘m going home!”

Ming Ri Hao broke out in sweat, “Why are you going home? Are you going home to move the troops? This- the current Tong Tian Tower might be slightly formidable, but compared to the Central Palace, it’s not something to be taken lightly!”

Yue Yang shook his head, “What nonsense, I’ll be an idiot if I were to compete with the Central Palace; I’m going back to avoid the limelight!”

Ming Ri Hao sweated as if he was a waterfall, “I thought you were going to rush to challenge them!”

Yue Yang looked at Ming Ri Hao with a look of disappointed helplessness, “Hard-pressed uncle, don’t think that everyone’s intelligence is as low as yours, okay? Do you think I can touch those guys with the level I am now? I’m going back; just pretend that you never met me in the Heavenly Splendour Territory!”

Seeing that this kid was about to let go, Ming Ri Hao quickly stopped him, “Don’t be like this! You can’t be too unethical; we have already formed an alliance.”

Yue Yang snorted coldly, “Wasn’t the alliance a verbal one? Well, now I regret it!”

Come on, can you be any more shameless, kid?

Seeing Yue Yang’s appearance, Ming Ri Hao felt a pain in his liver. However, he had no choice but to give in, “Boy, if you are willing to stay, we will join forces to fight the enemy. After defeating the enemy, we will obtain the treasure and I can let you choose your pick first. Wait, don’t go, don’t go, let’s negotiate. I mean, if the Divine Grimoire is there, you will also get the benefits first…” Ming Ri Hao looked at this kid with a look of disdain on his face, “If you stay, after this battle is over, I will tell you where my sister has retreated to cultivate! For this, I will definitely not lie to you, otherwise, it’s alright for you to peel my skin and make your clothes!”

Yue Yang was overjoyed when he saw that his desperate cards were turned out and placed on the betting table.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he held Ming Ri Hao’s big hand, “Big brother! Don’t say anything else, I’ll stay here to help you! In fact, you misunderstood me. As I am righteous, affectionate, eager to seek justice, peaceful, motherland-loving, the love of the collective, someone who loves to help out my friends in need and is a fair-faced young man, how can I leave big brother to fight alone? Obviously, you misunderstood me! However, I have a lot of magnanimity, so you don’t need to apologise; I have already forgiven you in my heart!”

Ming Ri Hao’s face turned black with anger.

He almost slapped this kid to death.

Of course, he knew in his heart who this kid was— he wouldn’t lift a finger to help so long as he didn’t gain any sort of benefits. So, Ming Ri Hao could only close his eyes and accept the fact that he was the one at a loss.

Yue Yang loved to take advantage of others; this was true, but he was not stingy at work, especially when it came to his family and his loved ones he would never sit back and reserve his strength. They sat down again and talked about formulating a new plan in every single detail.

After two hours of deliberation, the new plan was finally finalised.

After the final decision, Ming Ri Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart— fortunately, this kid was his ally and was not an enemy!

Outside the street, another shocking wave of news came from the Mercenary Guild. Different from the usual news, this news once again surprised the people of the Green Willow City like a hurricane of chaos. Yue Yang was slightly surprised when he listened carefully and found that it was still about the Liberty Queen that he heard about yesterday. According to the laments of the hungry and poor mercenaries, as well as the cheers of the rich, it seemed that the Liberty Queen would move to Green Willow City. After the birthday banquet of the Country Lord’s Concubine, the beauty Zhu Guang, she was to be executed in public.

“Hard-pressed uncle, what do you think is going on?” Yue Yang pointed out the window.

“I actually don’t know,” Ming Ri Hao shook his head.

“Is she not the descendant of your first love?” Yue Yang felt that it was a little strange. If she wasn’t a descendent of his first love, what was there to be hard-pressed about?

“Maybe it is the descendant of my fourth sister’s disciple or it may be the fifth sister’s descendant. I have never seen it, but I just heard that in Heavenly Splendour Territory, there would always be a ‘Liberty Queen’ once almost every few hundred years. They regard the fourth and fifth sisters as ‘Double Saints’, and these Queens were always filled with compassion and tolerance in their hearts. No matter where they belong, they would save all the poor, the hungry, and all the soldiers. Under this belief passed down from generation to generation, the Liberty Queen would run around the Heavenly Splendour Territory in an attempt to appeal, hoping that the three parties would lay down their weapons and end the war. Because of such an anti-war philosophy, many poor people and disabled soldiers have become her believers and her suitors,” Ming Ri Hao paused before he said slowly, “Because of this, these Liberty Queens and her faithful believers generally don’t live for long. As long as they are caught, they will be burned alive by those in power.”

“Do you not intend to care?” Yue Yang felt that Ming Ri Hao’s big stature was in vain as he criticised him,”This is the best time for a hero to save beauty!”

“Can’t you think of anything else other than a hero saving beauty?” Ming Ri Hao felt that he was seriously unable to keep up with this kid’s thought process. It was obviously a sad and depressing truth, so why did it only involve a hero saving beauty to him?

Yue Yang smiled and gestured for Ming Ri Hao not to be angry. Anyway, she wouldn’t be burned until the end of the birthday banquet tomorrow, so there was still time to save her.

Ming Ri Hao remained silent, as if he was unwilling to meddle in his others’ business.

Downstairs, in the heart of the streets.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

The sound waves made the buildings around the street tremble a little and the window frames nearly fell.

“Bastards in Green Willow City, you damned maggots, leeches that eat human blood, hand over the Liberty Queen immediately,” There was a loud voice that rang out like a bell and Yue Yang looked out and found two men. The axe-wielding warriors with skin as strong as an ox and a head as dark as charcoal stood in the middle of the street outside like two Gods who guarded the gates of Heaven.

“Don’t force me; it’s going to be bad if I become angry!” Unlike the black charcoal-head on the left, the black charcoal-head on the right spoke weakly—even more quietly than a bride who passed the doors of marriage. If it weren’t for the terrifying physique and strong strength, some might think that he was a little girl who only hid at home and embroidered.

“It’s the Bull Brothers, they are here!”

“My God, these two have already arrived…” 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

“Tsk, two brainless fools are just here to die. No matter how strong they are, can they be stronger than His Majesty? These two savages are simply dying in vain!”

Yue Yang heard the discussions around him. When he looked back at Ming Ri Hao, he found that he still had a rigid expression on his face, looking as if he really didn’t want to intervene.

He couldn’t help but wonder since there was no reason for him to behave like this; this hard-pressed uncle did not seem like such a person.

Of course, there might be a reason behind it. Everyone has their own little secret, after all. Although Yue Yang was curious, he knew that Ming Ri Hao wouldn’t say anything and he didn’t want to ask too much. Instead, he paid attention to the streets and saw the followers of the Liberty Queen and the Lord of Green Willow City—what will happen if the two sides collide!

If possible, he was going to pretend to be a fan of the Liberty Queen and go out to make a scene.

That seemed like a good idea!

Ming Ri Hao looked at him and knew that he was going to get a headache. He wanted to say to Yue Yang: The situation in the Heavenly Splendour Territory is already chaotic enough; don’t add your share of chaos into it, you brat!
