Master of Untold Daos Chapter 382 - You Shouldn’t Have

Chapter 382: You Shouldn’t HaveChen Ming’s shadow came next to Yang Hun, “Go, this is enough.”

Chen Ming planned to have Heavenly Court holed up tighter than a hair in a biscuit since Lu Qingxuan and his a.s.sa.s.sins could only defend Heavenly Prison Star.

After a month, the cultivators saw the horde of immortal beasts rus.h.i.+ng over them. It didn’t escape their eyes that the riders all wore masks.

A widespread notion captured their minds, Faceless is upon us.

His army was darting through the Scarlet Dragon Star River. His target, Devil Gate Star!

Darkness descended.

It once again shrouded the Galaxy. Faceless wanted to take back the constellation!

In Vile Dragon Star River cultivators wanted to flee, but found all paths to Scarlet Dragon Star River barred.

They thought of Jade Lake’s Jade Dragon Star River but it sealed its paths to.

What a joke! Jade Lake saw the miserable state Heavenly Court was in after that brief encounter with Faceless so why would it let anyone enter Jade Dragon Star River?

The powers in Vile Dragon Star River under illegal owners.h.i.+p of territory chose this moments to pray, the only sensible choice at the moment; praying for a better fate.

As for duking it out with Faceless’ Blades, What kind of sick joke is that? Heavenly Court was beated to the curb and are we to be f*cking next? We have all our lives ahead of us!

Heavenly Court and Jade Lake were aware of Faceless’ descent, and of its swift and ruthless entrance.

They could only resort to nabbing this century’s Soul Beads then bolt. This was also their final hope.

They couldn’t run away in the open, though. War deserters earned a one way ticket to prison for centuries to come.

It’d be better to s.n.a.t.c.h the Soul Beads. Taking it from under the Faceless’ nose would earn a hefty contribution once they got back.

It was the same as killing a general!

As everyone knew, Faceless was the picture of dread and cruelty.

It one thought about it, Chen Ming was the biggest humiliation the Faceless had ever seen.

The worst in power.

One that dragged all Faceless down.

But then again, how long was it that he was Faceless? He has once century to turn this around!

The constellation was in panic. In the people’s minds, hordes of immortals had to be laid buried already on the Devil Gate Star.

What could an old immortal ever amount to in such a war?

Three months pa.s.sed quickly. With Lu Qingxuan’s help, despite his failure as a.s.sa.s.sin thanks to many many unforeseen reasons, his a.s.sa.s.sins’ stealth was leagues beyond and killed their way through until know. Lu Qingxuan was on Heavenly Prison Star overlooking the unfamiliar masked Blade.

He was atop the city gates bearing witness to the horde of immortal beasts and the bare-chested men roaring and shouting.

“Barbarians?”

Riding immortal beasts and sporting tribal tattoos are people from the barbarian tribe!

Barbarians weren’t common in the Galaxy. Their practice in riding immortal beasts was surrounded by blood. They pitted a newborn child against a newborn immortal beast’s cub in a death match then let him become the immortal beast’s pup. If he was to the immortal beast’s liking, then it would raise him as its own. This was how the child earned the right to ride an immortal beast.

But the issue here was the gap between beast and humans.

Seeing the horde shrouding the sky left even Lu Qingxuan in shock. In the lead was a barbarian, his body filled with tribal tattoos, riding a golden-purple lion.

The golden-purple lion landed before Lu Qingxuan and Li Suyi started roaring. A peak immortal beast came next to it, a Dragon Horse(1) wreathed in white flames and covered in scales.

Lu Qingxuan pointed at the Dragon Horse then at Lu Qingxuan as he feigned a broken speech, “Right wing!”

He was oblivious to Master’s plan needing this a.s.sa.s.sin mounted on a horse, but Li Suyi still abide his wishes.

Why bother anyway? Master is always right!

Lu Qingxuan was caught by surprise, not quite getting his meaning.

Li Suyi kept playing the fool, “Chum!”

Lu Qingxuan took his time before he got the gist. Barbarians speak the beast language and not the common speech. From what I can feel from this fellow is that he means friends.h.i.+p!(2)

Li Suyi handed the reins. Lu Qingxuan took them without second guessing. Since he’s a friend, and shows good intentions, let’s see where it leads.

Lu Qingxuan held the harness astride the Dragon Horse and felt peculiar; his thoughts cleared.

What’s this?

He-he, let this Immortal Master Chen tell you. There’s a bodhi tree fruit in the harness. You must be thinking, its effect works only mounted for Lu Qingxuan?

It had no other reason than to make him addicted to riding!

This would trigger the Rider Among Thousands Aura.

Lu Qingxuan was hooked on the spot. Such a cozy feeling let him fish out the Heaven-drawn Halberd and started swinging it.

Hot d.a.m.n, my power doubled just like that!

What the h.e.l.l is this?

You mean to say this horse is my mount of destiny?

He also found the Dragon Horse very docile. Going wherever he instructed without so much as a fuss.

Lu Qingxuan sank deeper in his addiction. To h.e.l.l with playing a.s.sa.s.sin! I was never stealthy in my life anyway!

This Lord is a General!

Lu Qingxuan watched Lu Qingxuan taking the Dragon Horse for a tour, testing out his reactions in different situation. But in his eyes, this was the most crude riding skill he ever bore witness to. If I hadn’t trained the Dragon Horse before, such riding would’ve killed it!

Li Suyi didn’t point it out though, only giving him a double thumbs up.

Other disciples, “Wu, wa, wu wa, (Why are you turning a blind eye third senior brother, won’t it hurt your conscience)?”

“Roar, growl, snarl (Third senior brother, this is over the line a bit)!”

“Meow, purr (It’s already crossed)!”

Li Suyi’s eyes sparked with annoyance, “Roar, roar, roar, (What’s the harm? It’s like duping a child anyway)!”

At his words the disciples followed his pristine example and gave Lu Qingxuan a round of thumbs up, “Howl, roar, (d.a.m.n, so ugly)!”

“Roar, roar, (He’s like a clown)!”

“Wu, wa, wu, wa (I can’t hold it much longer)!”

Lu Qingxuan didn’t understand a whiff of their roars and shrieks. But he seemed to feel something from their big thumbs, Are they encouraging me?

“Please, you shouldn’t have!”

Don’t praise or I’ll become arrogant!

I say, the roars of these barbarians are music to my ears!

A trace of relentless savagery makes the heart beat faster!

(1) A wise, auspicious beast which looks like a hybrid of a dragon and a horse. It’s somewhat similar to the Qilin.

(2) Right wing sounds the same as friends.h.i.+p in Chinese.
