“This concerns the future of humanity. Why is brother Undying not here yet?“
Zhou Mengxian smiled at the people there.
The Undying Geezer was a nickname for the Experts Alliance’s chief, Yao Changsheng. Zhou Mengxian had one too, Timeless Immortal.
Zhou Mengxian shouted, “Is brother Undying here?”
No one answered.
“This truly brings me back 150 years ago, at the time of the great demon war. I and brother Undying fought side by side, killing the demons to such extent they never dared come out and mess with people.”
The people were shocked. In this wretched environment, even one with incredible talents that reached the peak of fifth level, had his lifespan increased by a few decades at most. But 150 years? Even if one had two lives, they’d never live for so long.
A black figure flew from the sky at Zhou Mengxian, who replied with a fist.
Rumble!
The space cracked, sending a shock wave that swept everyone off their feet.
The weak were robbed of the right to even stand before the truly strong.
The black figure stood before Zhou Mengxian, looking identical to Kaskk.
“I am King Kaskk’s number one warrior of the Cricket race, Ula!“
“Zhou Mengxian, human!”
“This is no place to fight, Ula. Dare you fight me in the sky?”
“My race is renowned across the universe as a fierce race. I do not fear anyone. Zhou Mengxian, I wish to fight you!”
Ula’s wings hummed and was airborne.
“Fellow Daoists, I’ll be right back.”
Zhou Mengxian made a sign and the flying sword came over.
Daoist Kame showed envy at his display.
Zhou Mengxian and Ula vanished in the skies above. Kaskk and his army didn’t stop for nothing, wreaking havoc on the city still.
First, they couldn’t fly, and secondly they were weaker. How then could these people block Kaskk’s army?
Boom~
A hundred missiles hammered Kaskk’s army, but once the rumbling stopped, there were no casualties seen.
“Kneel, take Kaskk and Rosa as kings, and I shall spare you. Any who refuse will die!”
Kaskk roared as he flew above the capital.
“Noisy!”
A frail voice traveled, followed by a huge spiritual qi hand rising from the ground and squeezing Kaskk’s army…
Pu~
What a hundred missiles couldn’t do, this attack single handedly crushed them all.
Kaskk’s eyes were bloodshot, “Yao Changsheng, are you going to meddle as well?”
There was no reply.
“You had an agreement with Rosa. You’re not to mess with our affairs and neither would we. When did this all became moot?”
No reply.
In the next seconds, the crushed warriors shed their shells and were now as good as new.
“I’ll take this act as it never happened. I’ll mind my affairs, and you yours. And if there is a time you need me, you need but speak and I shall come. What do you say?”
“Kaskk, I do not care if you, aliens, want to look for treasures on Earth. But I urge you to give up this plan for world domination.
“Humph, I, Yao Changsheng have lived for three thousand years and not even I dare to spout such rubbish like world domination.”
Yao Changsheng’s voice was faint and feeble, like he was going to draw his last breath any second now.
But Kaskk knew how hard it was to make this bag of bones breathe his last.
When they met three hundred years ago, he had the same look as today. Kaskk had attacked the geezer a dozen times with his warriors, but not once could he kill him.
“The Gates are ruined, isolating Earth completely. Yao Changsheng, what do you think of ruling this planet together?”
“You’re unworthy.”
“Does that mean you will meddle?” Kaskk was angry, but was reduced to only glaring at Yao Changsheng before taking his army back.
“We shall let China be for now. But that doesn’t go the same for other countries!” Kaskk roared.
Hum~
Kaskk and his army flew out of China.
“Brother Yao, long time no see.”
The white youth, Zhou Mengxian, flew on his sword on the roof Yao Changsheng was staying.
Zhou Mengxian looked untainted by anything in those immaculate robes.
Yao Changsheng lay on his bed with closed eyes, as his breathing felt incredibly faint and shallow. He was so thin, just like a skeleton. If not for the faint movement of his chest, one’d think he was a corpse.
“It’s been three hundred years, but brother Yao is still alive. I am pleased to see you.”
Yao Changsheng cracked his eyelids and asked, “And your mom?”
“Mother is currently assaulting the 9th Hall. She’s been in seclusion for hundreds of years.”
“What fond memories I have of your mother. I was this close to sleeping with her, he-he.”
Zhou Mengxian was calm, “I have also heard of you and mother. But it seems it was a pity it never happened.”
Yao Changsheng coughed, then closed his eyes.
“Pretty boy, just like that loose flossie, you can stay in your twenties, but it’s a different matter with lifespan. Death shrouds your face, and if you do not break through to the 9th Hall, you won’t live past this century.”
“Am I right?”
Zhou Mengxian’s face changed, but was back to normal in a blink.
“For a human to live a hundred years is already wishful thinking. How can I not be content having lived three hundred already? The way I see it, you won’t last more than three decades as well.”
“I don’t need you to remind… me.” Yao Changsheng spoke for so long, his voice grew fainter.
“Brother Yao, I came out to repel demons but also in regard to what we discussed.”
Yao Changsheng snorted, “Repel demons? Think I don’t know you? Think I don’t know how close you’ve been with Kaskk?”
Zhou Mengxian smiled, “It takes one to know one. You may have declared that you protect China, but isn’t it just a cover to fulfill your selfish desires? For you to live for so long, how many girls did you sacrifice? The higher ups of China already know, but they turn a blind eye since you’re still helping them.“
“Speaking of, we both walk the same path.” Zhou Mengxian sighed.
“To us, repelling demons is just a front. What we want in the end, is the same. Am I wrong, brother Yao?“
“An one more thing. If brother Yao gives me the Undying Art, I will give you the Everlasting Art. They were once one. Only by cultivating both halves can one aspire at eternal life.”
“If you offer Everlasting Art first, I will definitely give the Undying Art.”
“At the same time then?”
“I do not trust you. Let’s drop this.”
Zhou Mengxian was disappointed.
