Otherworldly Desert Dust

Chapter 223 - 179 Red Port Saint Sect

...

At the Longevity Wine House, the short-clad guards routinely patrolled the streets.

Those of the Lower Seed People were not allowed to gather here on this street.

Suddenly, an object wrapped in brightly colored leather appeared without warning at the top of the stairs, leaking copious amounts of pus and blood.

The guards opened the leather, only to find a corpse tucked inside, its eyes wide open in shock and horror.

"Yan Chao, young master!!!"

A guard recognized him at first glance and immediately cried out in alarm.

This shout disturbed the peaceful slumber of the entire Longevity Wine House, thinking it was an enemy attack, the guards were extremely nervous and deployed in full force, arranging themselves into a martial formation in front of the mansion’s gates.

"Young master Yan Chao is dead... his heart has been gouged out!"

"Who could be so audacious, showing no regard for us Longevity Envoys at all?"

"This is a declaration of war to our entire Longevity Mansion!"

The corpse was carried into the courtyard, and Envoy Yan Yang came out from the house.

Yan Yang’s face was a deathly pale, seeing his own son murdered even caused him to feel nauseated, and he immediately ordered the corpse to be covered with the most expensive brocade.

"This is too much!! Too much!!"

Yan Yang’s whole body trembled, he could never have imagined that the opponent would dare to kill his own son.

In Yan Yang’s view, whether the matter of the Poison Sub-humans was exposed or not, his son Yan Chao simply brought a few Poison Sub-humans into the Nuwa God End, such an act was not deserving of death.

The higher-ups of the human side, if they caught his son, would have surely informed him first, either to gain some leverage in negotiations or to take the opportunity to curry favor with him. In any case, they would never have just slaughtered him like livestock.

They were ones to weigh pros and cons, killing his son would most certainly ignite his endless fury. The Nuwa lineage and their Longevity Sect were still in a phase of peaceful coexistence; they would not dare commit such an act.

But today, early in the morning, what he saw proved the contrary, Yan Yang then realized that one man’s actions were impossible to understand by ordinary human reasoning!

That man, had never considered the interests of all humanity, acting entirely on whim to do whatever he wanted, without caring at all whether humanity and the Longevity Sect could coexist peacefully.

"Yes!"

...

Red Port Inn.

When Wu Hen woke up, he found himself surrounded by many people, including a number of delicate-looking women, their bright eyes filled with eagerness.

This made Wu Hen feel like he was back in the days when he was the young prince of Li City, always the object of unknown sisters casting affectionate glances his way.

Alas, Wu Hen was no longer the playboy he once was.

Wu Hen, who had no taste for worldly desires, opened up a QR code, allowing the girls to scan it themselves.

After recording their "features," Wu Hen then headed towards the location of Chief Li.

Chief Li was unusually not in his tent, but was outside at a stone dining table, eating some strange food from Red Port.

Wu Hen approached, said nothing, but took some food and began to eat as well.

"I have taken care of what comes after for you," Chief Li said.

"With that tone, it’s as if you want to outcast me from the human group, like some major troublemaker," Wu Hen said.

"That’s not something to say lightly: you could banish me, but I dare not banish you. After all, in the Otherworldly Dust exists too much contamination, including contamination of thoughts. Perhaps one day, I will pursue what is called the great human path and gradually lose my humanity, but you won’t. What you believe in is fundamentally different from mine, so you are the most orthodox of humans, unaffected by the outside, with soul and emotion as your highest creed," Chief Li explained.

"What a mess, I can’t be bothered to listen," Wu Hen remarked.

"Yan Yang has decided not to make use of the Longevity Sect’s power to deal with you anymore," Chief Li said.

"He’s cowering in his mansion, unwilling to come out even after his son’s death?" Wu Hen said, somewhat regretfully.

"They have started to collaborate with the Holy Sect," Chief Li said, as if he knew every move of Yan Yang.

"The Holy Sect?" Wu Hen was stunned.

"Yes, the very Holy Sect of the Purple Robed Master, and the Holy Sect Master stationed here at Infinite Red Port has a significant karmic connection with you..." Chief Li revealed.

"What karmic connection?"

"The man is named Cai Huang, and you are his seventh son."
