Chapter 1091 - Chapter 1091 Chapter 385 Farewell

Chapter 1091: Chapter 385: Farewell Chapter 1091: Chapter 385: Farewell “Bring the prisoner and the prison cart into the tent!”

For the officers inside the West Camp’s main tent, the man on the prison cart had become more than just remnants of the Yun Clan, he also represented a treasure, a mountain of gold.

For such an important prisoner, no amount of formality was excessive.

After receiving the order, the warrant officer left the tent and ran through the dark training ground to the outside of the camp, instructing the leading officer in charge of escorting the prisoner, “By the camp commander’s orders, notify the first battalion to unbind and escort the prisoner into the dungeon, to await interrogation tomorrow!”

“Understood!” The officer saluted the warrant officer and then ordered the soldiers escorting the prison cart, “Unbind the prisoner, throw him into the dungeon!”

The door of the prison cart opened, and the warriors, fierce as wolves and tigers, dragged out the fatty by his limbs and, with four men carrying him, took him to the dungeon.

As the prisoner was pushed into the camp, three martial artists from the Xiang Family, also descended slowly from the sky.

The warrant officer glanced at the descending figures, his mouth twitching cornered as he then said to the officer, “Thank you for your hard work, Generals. The camp commander and the young clan leader are waiting in the tent for your report. I need to go to the dungeon to make sure the prisoner is securely detained.”

The battalion officer walked with the warrant officer toward the dungeon, while the three martial artists strode towards the training ground tent. Although they hadn’t captured the Ghost Assassin that night, they had caught an ally and successfully escorted him back to camp.

Receiving commendation from the West Camp officers for such merit seemed appropriate, but as the three martial artists stepped into the tent and met the shocked gazes of the young clan leader, Xiang Loulan, and the camp commander, Xiang Guang, both knew something had gone awry!

At the same time, the West Camp’s grand array suddenly activated, a light barrier enveloping the entire camp, the training ground as bright as day, with alarms ringing to the heavens. The warriors of the West Camp, who had been resting, were immediately roused, and the entire camp erupted into chaos.

In this tumultuous environment, the camp commander Xiang Guang was the first to react, turning to the three martial artists who had entered the tent and asking with a heavy voice, “Where is the prisoner!?”

“He has been escorted into the dungeon by the first battalion soldiers!”

The leading martial artist of the Xiang Family immediately responded.

Without hesitation, Xiang Guang transformed into a stream of azure light and ripped through the tent, heading straight for the dungeon.

But when he entered the dungeon, all he could see were unconscious guards and an empty cell–even the stone floor had been melted into a large hole.

Even the magical array beneath the ground had been torn open, which must have been the trigger for the West Camp’s array disturbance!

Xiang Guang’s face turned ashen with anger, the Ghost Assassin had snatched away the prisoner right under their noses, a humiliating blow to the Xiang Family Army.

The Xiang Family martial artists who arrived shortly thereafter also wore expressions of shame, uncertain of how to explain themselves.

“Reporting to the camp commander, the battalion warrant officer, Xiang Zuo, has been found unconscious in the training ground’s sand, stripped of his military attire!”

The timely arrival of the warrant officer only added to the already uncomfortable atmosphere in the dungeon. The camp commander Xiang Guang, with a darkened expression, ordered, “From today on, design a set of passwords that change daily for communicating orders and transferring tasks between the camps. Take today’s incident as a warning, and do not let it happen again!”

“Understood!”

…

In the Spirit World Passage

The plump man who’d been rescued clearly hadn’t yet recovered from that terrifying brush with death; his entire body shook with fear, and the glances he cast at Brother Tian ahead of him were full of shock. Although he had long suspected Brother Tian’s true identity and had even guessed that Brother Tian might be a descendant of the Yun Clan,

It still came as a hard blow when Brother Tian changed his appearance before him and, with a wave of his hand, knocked out all the jailers in the cell. The reality was somewhat difficult for him to accept.

Swallowing saliva, the plump man said in a trembling voice, “Brother Tian… Are you really from the Yun Family?”

Brother Tian, who had been pushing the wheelchair and looking down as he walked, paused for a moment before replying, “Yes, I am.”

The atmosphere inside the passage fell silent again. Despite the years they had spent as brothers, it felt like they were suddenly facing a stranger. The familiar past seemed now to be veiled in mist.

The transformation from gang leader to descendant of the Yun Clan made the plump man almost unable to look directly at his old boss.

Perhaps giving the plump man enough time to digest everything, Brother Tian remained silent the entire way, until they reached a fork in the road.

“Plump man,” Brother Tian turned around and began softly, “The Xiang Family already knows my identity. You can no longer stay in Chaochang. There are two roads here: one leading west to Lingjiang, and the other leading east to Da Lin. Choose one.”

The plump man looked left and right, feeling coldness in his hands and feet. He had lived in Chaochang since birth, and the farthest he had ever gone was to the Fuyun Temple in the Wilderness. Although he had long been prepared to leave his hometown, when the time actually arrived, he realized he wasn’t as carefree about it as he thought.

His usually shrewd brain turned to mush. Clutching the precious items in his bosom tightly, the plump man raised his head and asked Brother Tian, “Brother Tian, wherever you think is best, that’s where I’ll go.”

Even if you tell me to stay in Chaochang, I won’t frown a bit.

Though he left the last half unsaid, Brother Tian read all this information clearly in the plump man’s eyes.

“You’re too conspicuous; it’s easy to give yourself away!”

After teasing the plump man about his size, Brother Tian said, “Go to the Lingjiang Seven Cities. Right now, it has great momentum for development; many artisans from Chaochang have gone there to make a living. More importantly, the Longxi Alliance doesn’t have much major trade with the Xiang Family of Chaochang, and the reach of the Xiang Family’s influence cannot affect that area. At least you won’t have to worry about the Xiang Family sending someone to capture you.”

“Okay, I’ll follow Brother Tian’s advice!”

The plump man nodded, then fiddled with the valuables on his belly, mumbling, “Then Brother Tian, will we still have the chance to meet in the future?”

“We will,” Brother Tian nodded and said, “The world of martial arts is vast, but life is long. As long as your heart yearns, there will be opportunities to meet again!”

“Alright!” the plump man seriously said, “Brother Tian, once I get to the Lingjiang Seven Cities, I will start a braised meat business. I’ve already thought of the name – ‘Divine Meat.’ With my skills, it won’t take ten years to dominate the Longxi braised meat market. When the time comes, if Brother Tian wants to find the plump man, just look for the ‘Divine Meat’ shop!”

The sorrow of parting was dispersed by blustering boasts, but Brother Tian earnestly clasped his hands and said, “Then I wish Boss Dao prosperity!”

“May Boss Yun prosper too!” After the plump man solemnly returned the gesture, he plunged into the western passageway. It was a while before a dull thud came back: “Plump man is off, Brother Tian, remember to take care of yourself, and that limping lad, take good care of Brother Tian, or the plump master won’t let you off!”

As another one of Brother Tian’s followers, the plump man was after all a senior, and for a senior to give a junior a bit of scolding, what could be wrong with that?

But if he knew that it was because of this extra remark, Tang Luo gave up the thought of writing back to Longzhou, would he feel any regret?
