Chapter 1922: Changes Among Brothers
Return to Zhonghai City.
As soon as they got off the plane, Xiao Zheng and Evil Eyes noticed Long Qie standing not far away to greet them.
Seeing the two return safely, although he had already received the news, it wasn’t until this moment that Long Qie could breathe a genuine sigh of relief: "You finally came back. If you had been one day later, I was about to bring people over to find you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Didn’t I tell you? You don’t need to worry about us. The issues in the Southern Border have been resolved now. I’ve destroyed the Demon God Sect’s headquarters, and their Sect Hierarch, elders, and protectors have all been slain by me."
"So, how are things on your end?"
After hearing his words, Long Qie hastily said, "There hasn’t been any oversight on my side either. Everyone on the list is dead. Moreover, the wealth obtained from the forces on this list has already begun to be counted by our people."
"These small matters, you just handle them as you see fit." Xiao Zheng said, "Remember not to shortchange your people; reward them as they deserve."
"Don’t worry, I know what to do about things like this." Long Qie said with a smile, "Let’s get in the car first, we’ll have a good lunch outside. I’ve already asked for leave for you from Miss Leng."
Xiao Zheng shrugged and then got into the car.
As for Evil Eyes, he got into the front passenger seat, with Long Qie acting as the driver.
When they arrived at the hotel, Titan was already sitting in the private room.
He looked in high spirits, apparently something good had happened to him.
Upon seeing Xiao Zheng and his companions enter, Titan said somewhat proudly: "Mr. Xiao, take a good look at me. Haven’t you noticed any changes in me?"
"Changes? On you?" After glancing at him, Xiao Zheng immediately understood and couldn’t help but laugh, "I didn’t expect you to finally break through to the Middle-stage Martial Saint after so long. Congratulations."
Upon hearing this, Titan, not without pride, said: "Mr. Xiao indeed has sharp eyes. I knew this couldn’t be hidden from you. That’s right, after ten days of seclusion, I finally broke through yesterday!"
"Ha ha! Middle-stage Martial Saint, I’ve waited so long for this day!"
After saying this, he provocatively glanced at Evil Eyes.
Feeling Titan’s provocation, Evil Eyes immediately said disdainfully: "You just broke through to the middle stage, what’s there to show off? Beating a brute like you, I can do it with one hand."
"What did you say? If you’ve got guts, then bring it on!" Titan stared defiantly, "I know, you’re just jealous of my talent!"
"Pfft! I’d be jealous of you?" Evil Eyes exaggerated, then said disdainfully, "If I were really to be jealous, I’d definitely envy Mr. Xiao. His trip to the Southern Border, he broke through to the Supreme Realm!"
What!
Upon hearing Evil Eyes’ words, Long Qie and Titan looked at Xiao Zheng in shock.
Long Qie felt a bit dizzy and oxygen-deprived; after a moment, he asked in disbelief: "Mr. Xiao, is what Evil Eyes just said true? You, you really broke through to the Supreme Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng, who had no intention of hiding it, nodded and said: "That’s right, you could say it was a blessing in disguise that I unexpectedly broke through to the Supreme Realm during this trip to the Southern Border."
"A blessing in disguise? What happened? Did you actually encounter danger midway?" Long Qie raised his eyebrows and couldn’t help saying, "Anyway, since the food and drink are already served, hurry up and sit down and tell us the details."
Not just him, even Titan looked quite curious.
Once the four sat down, Xiao Zheng began to recount.
This matter could only be narrated by him because, except for him, no one else knew the details. Evil Eyes was in a deep coma at the time; even as a participant, he only learned about it from Xiao Zheng afterward.
Xiao Zheng’s narration was extremely captivating.
Upon learning that the Sect Hierarch of the Demon God Sect used his life as a sacrifice to summon the remnant soul of the Demon God, even Long Qie couldn’t help but gasp: "I never expected this Demon God Sect actually had the power to summon the Demon God from a hundred years ago."
"Even though they summoned just a remnant soul, it was terrifying enough." Titan nodded in agreement, "No wonder Mr. Xiao called it a blessing in disguise, it was quite perilous."
"I can only say it was luck. Fortunately, we sabotaged their plan at Tianxie Manor, preventing them from gathering ninety-nine women with the Profound Yin Body." Xiao Zheng said slowly, "Otherwise, if Liu Yiyi had fallen into their hands, what they summoned wouldn’t have been a remnant soul, but the true Demon God."
Upon hearing this, Long Qie and the others all looked relieved.
Actually, it wasn’t just Long Qie and the others; even Xiao Zheng, thinking back now, still felt a bit of lingering fear. Especially when he unintentionally lost control and swallowed the crystal of Devil Power.
The sort of soul-searing pain, he swore, he never wanted to experience again in his life.
Must find all the Golden Bones!
Xiao Zheng’s eyes revealed a trace of determination, then he turned to Long Qie and asked: "Long Qie, how is the investigation on the Golden Bone coming along? Any clues?"
Hearing him suddenly mention the Golden Bone, the three were a bit surprised but quickly became serious.
Because they all knew, the Golden Bone was vital to Xiao Zheng’s survival.
Upon hearing this, Long Qie said: "We’ve never given up on tracking down the Golden Bone’s whereabouts. Occasionally, we receive one or two pieces of news, but they are ultimately confirmed as false."
"So we haven’t disturbed you."
"Mr. Xiao, are you asking because your body has...?"
He didn’t continue.
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said: "My body is currently fine; it’s just that due to recent events, I feel we should expedite the search for the Golden Bone."
"Not only domestically but abroad as well."
Long Qie nodded and said: "Rest assured, I’ll definitely hasten the instructions. Our Sky Net divisions are almost spread globally, so with so many people searching simultaneously, we’re bound to find leads."
"Alright, enough of this downer talk, let’s eat." Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "If we don’t start, the food will get cold."
Upon hearing his words, Long Qie and the others picked up their chopsticks...
