Chapter 1174: Winds Arise (I)
Ying Hongyue frowned, this was not a good sign. The other leaders hadn’t questioned his decisions before. But now, Yama veered on the edge of losing his temper, Celestial Flying Sword didn’t say a word, and the Yonder mountain lord was equally quiet. They were clearly sick of running around and incurring no end of casualties.
Ying Hongyue looked toward Ash Mountain, seeming to want to see something. The look on his face grew graver.
Was it Gan Wuliang hunting him, or was it... Li Hao? Somehow, Ying Hongyue had the feeling that the kid had never given up on killing him. Perhaps he wasn’t here in person because he’d learned a few things.
If Gan Wuliang could identify that Ying Hongyue wanted to head east and search for opportunities, did that mean Li Hao was secretly observing everything from the shadows?
The little fellow that Red Moon had kept a close watch over in Silver City now concealed more and more of his thoughts. Unbidden unease and anxiety rose in Ying Hongyue’s heart, even a bit of inexplicable fear.
He seemed to understand something in this moment. Was he to pay everything back one day? This was what Li Hao had felt in Silver City, wasn’t it? It was like there were eyes on him at every second, ones that threatened to take his life. Someone had arranged for every one of his steps, killing off those beside him one by one until only he was left to await the arrival of death!
These were the thoughts and emotions that came to mind! They were overpowering.
Ying Hongyue could see no way of changing the situation unless he put his life on the line. However, that was a course of action that only Yama could so easily speak of. Once something went awry with the seal, it wouldn’t just be Li Hao’s problem. It would also be Ying Hongyue’s issue. He would be the first to be struck by misfortune!
And Li Hao had said that Yuan Shuo was dead?
Ying Hongyue’s heart churned with nerves—it was an incomprehensible fear and unease. Li Hao no longer had any reservations following Yuan Shuo’s death. Would the young man really be that afraid of the seal breaking?
The seal was the final line of defense that all of them—Ying Hongyue, the Moon God, and Red Dust—had to defend, but it wasn’t Li Hao’s! Wasn’t this ludicrous?
