Chapter 122 - 120: Xiao De’s Ambush
For this battle against the Golden Lion, the Red Nation mobilized its top three legions, including the Luo Shen Army from the Luosi family. This army was famous throughout the Red Nation. It was this very army that had quashed the surrounding chaos when the Red Nation was founded, securing the foundation of the nation. Luosi joined the expedition to gain greater prestige as an heir.
"Are you sure you’re doing well in the Luosi family?" Lu Hong rode alongside Luosi, asking in a low voice.
"Yes, I’ve told you, it’s like a dream. No one expected Luo Bolun to support me fully. Within a week of my return to the family, I had seized control of the family power with lightning speed," Luosi carefully scanned Lu Hong and continued, "Speaking of which, you really did something, managing to kill Sa Re. At first, I was really worried that you would just die inexplicably. Thank God, you’re safe."
Recalling the incident in the border forest, Lu Hong also felt a bit fortunate. He had indeed almost certainly died.
"You dodged Sa Re’s assassination and didn’t come to find me? Instead, you went to the Demons and met powerhouses like Tong Ling; how did you come to know them?"
"This is a long story." Lu Hong explained all his experiences among the Demons, leaving Luosi astonished. Skeptically, she asked, "You managed to fight Tong Ling to a standstill?"
"To be exact, he lost to me!" Lu Hong stressed, "If he didn’t have that magic defense item."
Lu Hong subtly reiterated his own prowess. Luo Bolun’s gaze had not shifted from Lu Hong and Luosi since they rode together, full of resentment and hatred.
"Hey!" Tong Tang, noticing Luo Bolun’s resentment, whispered beside him, "Do you really dislike that guy named Tu Kulu?"
"So what if I do?" Luo Bolun responded without shifting his gaze from Lu Hong.
