Chapter 899: Mentor and the Sourness of Love
Chapter 899: Mentor and the Sourness of Love
Are the rulers of the dead world fighting among themselves?
After hearing Leon's guess, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and then...
"Unlikely?"
Director Capricorn spoke first, blinking doubtfully:
“Although they are all called the Lord of the Dead Realm, the First of the Dead is different from the other Lords of the Dead Realm. Even among the Pillar Gods, he is the strongest one. In his heyday, he can even be compared to the former Four Supreme Pillar Gods.
Even though he later gave away most of the power over Death due to his limited abilities and felt he couldn't properly handle all the dead, he was still the strongest ruler of the dead world. How could he just disappear like that?"
"I also find it a little strange..."
After thinking for a while, the pot-bellied Cancer director frowned and said:
“Although the First Dead is a neutral person and has little control over the others, he is the oldest and is indeed the leader of the Dead World Overlords.
According to the records of the bureau, in order to protect the Six-Faced Elephant Deer who was tired of the dead world and wanted to return to the living world, he once fought with the Third Generation Master. His prestige among the masters of the dead world should be very high. How could he be killed because of an internal conflict?"
"Maybe it's some conspiracy!"
Director Sagittarius narrowed his eyes and said with suspicion:
"The rulers of the dead world may have some plan, so they used the soul fragments of Aquarius to try to pass false information to us... Oh, Lord Sandaime!"
At this point, Director Sagittarius seemed to remember something, turned around and looked at the third-generation old man, frowning and asking:
"You have dealt with the First Dead more times than I have. What do you think of this news?"
"I don't want to watch it!"
He reached into the pot and fished twice, but couldn't even find a spoon handle. The furious old man stamped his feet and roared in Leon's direction:
"I told you not to come over here! Fuck! I've already put the God of Forging into the pot! What's the point of throwing a spoon in there?"
"..."
No... You, a thousand-year-old Parkinson's disease patient, your hands were shaking and you couldn't hold the spoon, so you dropped it into the pot, and you actually blame me?
Looking at the anxious old man who was sweating profusely, Leon couldn't help but curl his lips. Then he didn't bother to pay attention to this blacksmith madman, and directly suggested:
"Sir Taurus, we can't come up with any conclusions just by thinking about it here. How about I go out from the Sage Cemetery and check the situation of the Road of No Return?
You all know my abilities. If something really happened to the first deceased, then [Road of No Return] would definitely stop working. If I can just touch the Road of No Return, I can confirm whether the news is true or not."
"This is the most direct way..."
After nodding his head in approval of Leon's proposal, Director Taurus looked at Leon's pale face and his obviously broken soul, then frowned and said:
"But let's get someone else to go. You look a little bit bad right now, and we're still not sure about the attitude of the masters of the dead world. It might be dangerous if you go out rashly."
"Sir Taurus, I'm fine."
"Nonsense, how can there be no problem if a quarter of the soul is gone?"
After glaring at Leon with dissatisfaction, the silver-haired old lady said without allowing any refusal:
"You're so unsteady when you walk, don't even think about moving. Hurry up and find a coffin to lie down for a while and mend your broken soul!"
"But on the other side of the road..."
"Just let Pisces go."
Director Jinniu shook his head and said:
"The Pisces Palace's secret technique is similar to your ability. It's just to check whether the Road of No Return is stopped. He was the same in the past. You should take care of yourself!"
"..."
All right then. Seeing the stubborn expression of the silver-haired old lady, Leon realized that there was no room for negotiation, so he had to accept her concern and gave up the idea of going out to check the situation. He then found a coffin that had just been dug up and wanted to lie in it to repair his soul, but...
"Change your coffin!"
After taking the rolling-eyed God of Forging out of the pot, the Third Director, whose beard was trembling with heartache, looked at the iron spoon stuck in his forehead and turned his head to look over, glaring at Leon and said:
"I got so startled that the quality of the material has been ruined! Find a coffin far away from me and don't disturb me while I'm forging!"
"..."
You are the only one with a lot to do!
After rolling his eyes at the third-generation old man, Leon had to close the coffin lid and find a coffin farther away, under the confused gaze of the deceased.
"Far away! Further away!"
"..."
Damn, you're not done yet, are you?
Seeing that the straight-line distance between him and the old man of the third generation was more than 800 meters but he was still shouting to go further away, Leon couldn't help but close his eyes. While deciding to make the master-disciple relationship public when he returned, he swallowed his anger and walked another ten meters further away.
"Okay, right there! The one that's been dug!"
Okay, okay, whatever you say goes!
After finally getting the approval of the three-generation old man, Leon walked to an excavated grave with a dark face, kicked open the ebony coffin board full of worm holes, and then...
Emma looked up in surprise and saw what was happening.
ah? ! ! !
Looking at Emma, who was sitting in the ebony coffin with her knees together, with tears in the corners of her eyes and looking at him in panic, Leon couldn't help but be stunned. Then he felt a strong force on his butt, and the whole person was kicked down and fell into a warm and soft embrace.
Haha, let me see how you get out this time!
After closing the coffin lid with a clang and moving two tombstones to hold it down tightly, he quietly touched the old man of the third generation behind Leon, nodded with satisfaction, and then walked back under the strange gazes of the crowd, and said to the stunned Taurus Director in a domineering manner:
"What are you standing there for? Come and help me! Can't you see it's time to put it in the pot?"
"Third generation sir..."
Looking at the ebony coffin in the distance that arched up twice and then stopped moving, Director Jinniu could not help but hold his forehead with his hand and said helplessly:
"What you just did was..."
"I was just eliminating the source of pollution, just like scrubbing the pot before forging. Besides, he will thank me when he comes out!"
After waving his hand to indicate that it was okay, recalling the two intense heartbeats he had just heard, the third-generation old man couldn't help but grin, revealing a kind smile that only belonged to a great glutton.
"Tsk, it's great to be young~ Don't you think so?"
"..."
"really."
……
Ok?
After looking at the [Sage Cemetery], the only thing still standing on the road of no return in the distance, the faceless man seemed to smell something vaguely, and the skin on his face, probably where his nose was, couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.
Strange... Why did a strange sour smell suddenly come out of the Sages' Cemetery?
