Chapter 1157: Senior Master Yun-Hou-Tian
Chapter 1157: Senior Master Yun-Hou-Tian
After killing all the demon monsters, the group of senior hunters sat down to rest and recover their energy, and waited for the two demon senior hunters to return. They did not know that the two of them could not come back any longer.
"It's been quite a while. Why haven't Master Mou and Master Zou come yet? Or has something bad happened to them?" one of the senior hunters asked with a worried look on his face. Because the two demon senior hunters were already the strongest in the group, if anything happened to them to the point where they could not come back, then it must have been a very serious disaster.
"Or are we going to see what happened to them?"
"That's good too. If something bad happens to them, we'll help..."
"Why do you have to help them? It's better to just let them die!" But Senior Hunter Yun-Hou-Tian saw it differently. He would be very pleased if something really bad happened to those two. Therefore, he did not want to help them.
Erm!
You!
The other senior hunters were at a loss for words to convince Yun-Hou-Tian. They tried to find many reasons to persuade Yun-Hou-Tian to let go of his resentment and start over. But it did not seem to be of any use. Instead, it made it worse than before.
"If so, I and the two elders will go to take a look at the two of them to see if anything has happened to them. As for you, the other elders, and that young man, stay here and watch over the demon monsters!" To cut down on the problem and ease the awkward atmosphere, one of the senior hunters offered an alternative.
Huh!
"Up to you! If that's what you want, then do it. But for me, even if there were any real disasters to those two, I can tell you that I would definitely never go help them!" Senior Hunter Yun really did not want to accept that offer. But since the majority agreed, he had to accept it. However, he also firmly stated that he would never lend a helping hand to Mou-Xiao-Han and Zou-Mou-Kuang.
Sigh!
Ten minutes passed...
"Senior Master Yun, may I speak with you, sir?"
About ten minutes after the three senior hunters went out, Zheng-Fu walked over to Senior Hunter Yun, who was sitting cross-legged in a corner, and asked to talk to him.
Hah!?
"You want to talk to me? All right... just say it!"
Previously, Senior Hunter Yun still looked angry and aggressive when talking about the two demon senior hunters. But when speaking to Zheng-Fu, his tone was very calm and friendly.
"I have something that I have kept in my heart for a long time and have not dared to talk to anyone. But today, I heard you speak harshly and hatefully about the people from the Demon Race. So, I think I should be able to talk to you about this." Zheng-Fu did not immediately get to the point. He tried to make a slight detour by referring to the words that Senior Hunter Yun had said just now.
Oh!?
The senior hunter's expression immediately turned serious upon hearing Zheng-Fu's words. He understood a little about the meaning behind those words. He looked slightly left and right before standing up and beckoning Zheng-Fu to follow him.
"What exactly do you want to say? Say it, no need for any roundabout. I prefer straightforward people!" Arriving at a hidden and considered private place, Senior Hunter Yun stopped and turned to address Zheng-Fu with a more serious expression than before.
"Of course, I'm also a straightforward person. But before we talk, let me first ask, what do you think of the people from the Demon Race?" When Zheng-Fu saw that Yun-Hou-Tian was also being forthright, he answered and asked directly as well.
"Are you asking what I think of the people from the Demon Race? You have heard what I think of them. I hate and resent them more than anything. If I have the chance, I'll kill them all!" Senior Hunter Yun answered with his true feelings without hiding or pretending in any way.
"Hearing this, I'm relieved. Because the thing I want to say to you is that I have already killed Mou-Xiao-Han and Zou-Mou-Kuang. In a moment, the three senior masters will surely return with the news that the two of them disappeared!" Zheng-Fu then opened up with the story that he had already killed two senior hunters from the Demon Race.
Hah!!!
"What do you say?! Are you kidding?!" Senior Hunter Yun looked extremely incredulous at what he heard. Zheng-Fu had the same energy level as him, while Mou-Xiao-Han and Zou-Mou-Kuang were one level higher, and there were two of them. Therefore, Zheng-Fu alone was unlikely to be able to kill them. Moreover, ever since they had split into two groups, Zheng-Fu had always been with his group. How could Zheng-Fu kill those two?
"Soon you'll find out whether I'm joking or telling the truth. But that's not important. What's important is that I'm gathering people with the same ideology who want to kill all the people from the Demon Race. Are you interested in joining me? But you don't have to rush to answer me yet. Wait for this matter to be resolved first. After that, you can go find me at Black Rock City!"
Zheng-Fu had expected that the other party would have such a reaction. But he believed that it would not be long before Yun-Hou-Tian would believe and agree to join with him in wiping out the Demon Race.
Ah!
Senior Hunter Yun tried to find out whether Zheng-Fu was lying. But no matter how he looked, he could not see that Zheng-Fu was lying. Because every word and gesture Zheng-Fu expressed was very serious and convincing.
"If this matter is true and those two bastards were really killed, I would be willing to join you without hesitation. But in the meantime, we won't talk about this again. You and I are not related. We have never known or talked to each other before!" Senior Hunter Yun was not afraid of offense. But he needed to keep his distance from Zheng-Fu until the outcome was known.
I got it!
Zheng-Fu understood Senior Hunter Yun well, so he agreed and did as the other party asked.
Half an hour passed...
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Flap!
"Why did only three of you come back? What about Master Mou and Master Zou?"
Upon seeing the three senior hunters who had gone to look for Mou-Xiao-Han and Zou-Mou-Kuang returning, one senior hunter asked.
"We searched everywhere along that route but found no one except an empty hall filled with traces of a fierce battle. I think it probably happened because of the actions of the two of them. But it was strange that they weren't there. And no matter how I contacted them, they never responded!" The senior hunter who led the group to find the demon senior hunters replied with a serious expression.
"Can't find them and also can't contact them? Or something happened to them?! Or have they returned to the guild?"
"I have already contacted the guild. But they said that the two did not return there."
"Did not return to the guild?!"
"And where have they gone?!"
The other senior hunters all had very confused and suspicious expressions on their faces. But Senior Hunter Yun had a neutral expression and was contemplating something. He was thinking about Zheng-Fu's words. And to confirm his thoughts, he turned to look at Zheng-Fu, who was standing not far away.
Zheng-Fu was looking at him, and when he turned, Zheng-Fu raised his eyebrows and shrugged, smiling slyly.
Hah!
Zheng-Fu's expression told him where Mou-Xiao-Han and Zou-Mou-Kuang had gone. But what he still wondered about was how Zheng-Fu was able to kill those two people.
'What method does he use? The whole time, he just stood there and didn't move. And when did he kill those two bastards?' The more he thought about it, the more Senior Hunter Yun did not understand. He tried to analyze the possibilities, but he could not think of anything.
'You don't have to think too much and give yourself a headache. Because soon you'll know how I did it.'
Ah!
It was as if Zheng-Fu could read Senior Hunter Yun's thoughts. Because his voice suddenly sounded inside the latter's head.
"So, what should we do next?! Continue wiping out everyone in this tomb, or will we go down that route and find Master Mou and Master Zou?"
"I think we should go find them both!"
"I agree!"
"I also..."
"I don't agree! Right now, the most important thing is to get rid of the threat first. Therefore, we should focus on clearing out this Blood Tomb as quickly as possible. As for the disappearance of Master Mou and Master Zou, it would be better for us to search for them later, after the mission is complete. Maybe the two of them were out and about their own errands!"
While all the senior hunters were deciding, Senior Hunter Yun interrupted and persuaded the others to continue the mission.
"Correct! I think the same as Senior Master Yun. We should focus on the mission first. Because this Blood Tomb is extremely dangerous. If we leave it like this, you guys, just think how many terrible things will happen!" Of course, Zheng-Fu did not stay silent; when Senior Hunter Yun suggested that, he immediately added.
Umm!
That's right!
"This place is extremely dangerous. If we let it go, it'll definitely have a huge negative effect on humans and every living thing!"
"Also, this Blood Tomb has been around for a long time, and the people here have accumulated much strength. If we don't deal with them when they're weak, we'll lose a valuable opportunity. Ordinary people will definitely say that we are stupid!"
"Then, let's continue our mission!"
Umm!
Agree!
When the other senior hunters heard Zheng-Fu's words, their thoughts changed. Although finding Mou-Xiao-Han and Zou-Mou-Kuang was important, eliminating such threats was more important. Therefore, the weight of the decision shifted to completing the mission.
