Chapter 419: People From the Southern Plains!
“The two of you, eat something first. I have something to tell you.”
Returning to his room, Victor threw the food he had packed to the two girls and found a place to sit down.
“These things again, I’m going to throw up. Na[1], Victor, roast meat for me to eat!”
Lian Hua looked at the food dispiritedly and lost her appetite.
‘Na na na na? You’re also a second-dimensional character?’
Victor held back his sarcasm and explained, “These are the only food found in the wine shop. It’s useless to change it. As for barbecuing meat, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, it’s better to forget it.
“However, although I can’t barbecue meat, I can let you eat me down there!”
“Eat you down there? Is It delicious?” Lian Hua frowned, looking innocent and cute.
“Well… it’s hard to say. After all, one’s physique can not be generalized. Some people don’t taste bad below, and some people’s aren’t edible at all. It varies from person to person.”
Victor forced himself to explain with a red face. Then, he cleared his throat and returned to the original topic.
“Let’s get down to business. I’ve received news that in the next few days, the Southern Plains will send people to the Central Plains Sect Alliance to discuss the matter of setting up a path in the Great Snow Mountain. It’s said that the leader of the Southern Plains is most likely the Xiao family. What do you think about this?”
“The Xiao family? The top family that is known as the unworldly dynasty?”
“It’s them.”
“I see. Then, I have a question!” Lian Hua raised her right hand with an excited expression.
“Say it, share your opinion.”
“Alright then. First of all, whether the Southern Plains comes to the Central Plains or not has nothing to do with us!
“Also, how can it be so easy to establish a Dao in the Great Snow Mountain? Only sects that have gone through ten card exchanges were allowed to establish a Dao at the peak of the Great Snow Mountain. What kind of level was this?
“In the entire Central Plains, only the people from the Central Plains Sect Alliance had such wild ambitions!
“However, in terms of strength, they were still a little lacking. Therefore, if I were to say, this matter has nothing to do with us, we should just put it aside.”
“Your analysis is very thorough. As expected, you’ve improved quite a bit during this period of time.” Victor nodded his head in satisfaction and pinched Lian Hua’s delicate cheeks.
“However, this time, it’s not something that’s unrelated to us. Lian Hua, have you forgotten? Didn’t you ask me to bring you back to the Southern Plains in order to find your true identity?
“Now, the opportunity has arrived. As long as we can infiltrate the team from the Southern Plains, we can easily go to the Southern Plains with the help of the magic array. This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone.” As he spoke, Victor noticed that Lian Hua’s expression did not seem too good. As for the reason, Victor already had a guess in his heart.
“If this is really the case, we should indeed seize this opportunity. Otherwise, if we head to the Southern Plains, not only will we have to pass through the Bone Transformation Swamp, but we will also have to face countless demon beasts. With our strength, it’s too dangerous.” Regarding Victor’s plan… the little senior sister also expressed her agreement. In this kind of situation, she had always known what to do.
“No! If it’s the Xiao family as leaders, we can’t act so rashly! When I was in Carefree City, I often heard that the Xiao family acted tyrannically and was completely egoistic. As long as it didn’t bring them any benefits, they usually wouldn’t interfere. Therefore, if we were to come into contact with them, there would only be harm and no benefit.” It was very strange, Lian Hua’s attitude was very firm on this matter.
She would rather go through the Bone Transformation Swamp than get close to the Xiao family.
Regarding this, although Victor was a little puzzled, he did not say it out loud.
To put it bluntly, getting close to the Xiao family was only for convenience. Even if they did not, with Victor’s strength, passing through the Bone Transformation Swamp was not a problem at all. It was just a little troublesome…
Nevertheless, Victor would not upset Lian Hua over such a small matter, because there was no need for that.
“Since that’s the case, we have nothing to worry about. After we investigate the details, we will leave immediately.”
This matter concerned the Great Snow Mountain, so it was inevitable that Victor would pay attention to it. Moreover, Victor had long heard of the matter of the Great Snow Mountain establishing a Dao, but he did not know the details.
As the saying goes, understanding yourself and your enemy was the way to have countless wins. It was always good to know more.
“Speaking of which, little senior sister, the Fire Sect is also a member of the Central Plains Sect Alliance, right?”
“Yes, it used to be a second-rate sect after all. But, why are you suddenly asking about this?”
“I’m just curious.” Victor waved his hand and continued, “Logically speaking, if I killed the master of the Fire Sect, wouldn’t it be equivalent to slapping the Central Plains Sect Alliance’s face?
“But they don’t seem to care too much about me. In fact, they only issued a wanted notice and didn’t pay much attention to me.”
“Of course. There are countless cultivators in the Central Plains Sect Alliance. How could every one of them have an official position? Most of them are unspecialized. Even if such people die, the Central Plains Sect Alliance won’t feel sorry for them. To put it bluntly, it’s not worth wasting the limited power of the Central Plains Sect Alliance for the sake of the Fire Sect.”
“I see. Alright, let’s eat. After we finish eating, I still have to cultivate.”
Nowadays, using the mountain spirit to nurture the sword spirit and the Rose Sword had become Victor’s daily routine.
After all, this was Victor’s greatest trump card. As for the Soaring Serpent, Giant Ape, and Chief Wolf, Victor only greeted them before he left and told them to go directly to the Eastern Plains’ Green Dragon Sect without bringing them along.
There was no other way. Not to mention that Nalan Lengling and Lian Hua might be afraid, the amount of flesh and blood they had to eat every day was quite a terrifying figure. Victor had no way to help them with food and clothing, and bringing them with him would only be a burden. It was better to send them to the Green Dragon Sect… Firstly, to prevent some people from tampering with them. Secondly, it could be considered as Victor’s reward to the Green Dragon Sect after such a long time.
Those were three genuine demon kings, and their strength was not inferior to a nascent soul realm expert. In a place like the Eastern Plains, they were basically the top existences.
“It tastes bad…”
When he came back to his senses, Lian Hua had already cut off a small piece of beef and stuffed it into her mouth.
The beef was both dried and hard. The only fragrance of the sauce was covered by excessive salt. It really was not delicious, but it was enough to fill her stomach.
Although Nalan Lengling and Lian Hua had been fasting, as a strength cultivator, it was necessary for Victor to eat every day. Therefore, over time, Nalan Lengling and Lian Hua had formed a good habit of eating on time.
“Oh right, Victor, if there’s a chance, take me to the Green Dragon Sect to take a look. I want to meet Ye Lingxuan,” Nalan Lengling said after thinking for a long time.
Victor did not hide anything about Ye Lingxuan because it was futile. They would meet sooner or later, so it was better to confess earlier so that they would not fall out in the future.
“We’ll see. At the very least, we’ll have to leave the Southern Plains before we can go back to take a look. I’m also a little homesick.”
