Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 558 - 535: Aftermath (Part 1)
Chapter 558: Chapter 535: Aftermath (Part 1)
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a shock in their hearts.
Although they had long suspected Red Hero’s affiliation.
After all, if he wasn’t a person of the Zhao Kingdom.
Why would he consistently risk so much to help the Corpse-Driving Sect, help the Zhao Kingdom, rescue those ordinary people?
But genuinely hearing the admission from the man himself still left everyone deeply stunned.
Bi Yaoyao wanted to continue inquiring about which city Red Hero belonged to and other related gossip.
But she found that the other party’s figure flickered and had disappeared from the spot.
There were many Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators present, but almost none could see how Red Hero left.
This was also the first time Lou Yi, incarnated as Red Hero, admitted in public that he was from the Zhao Kingdom.
Actually, his body should more accurately be considered a person of the Wei Kingdom across the Longjiang River.
But then, there was a major change in Wangjiang County of the Wei Kingdom, and the Five Elements Sect drove them out… Afterward, Lou Yi led his friends and family to flee and had been staying in Zhao Kingdom ever since.
Strictly speaking, he stayed in Zhao Kingdom longer, with friends, loved ones, and sect brothers all here.
Thus, from his heart, he already considered himself a Zhao Kingdom person.
“Great, Red Hero truly is one of us from Zhao Kingdom!” Bi Yaoyao cheerfully shouted, having gotten the answer she wanted, especially since it was the answer she desired most.
Beside her, You Qingyi also broke into a smile.
The other Corpse-Driving Sect disciples around were all very excited and shared in the honor.
Even though Red Hero wasn’t a member of the Corpse-Driving Sect.
The Zhao Kingdom and the Corpse-Driving Sect have always been closely linked, so saying he’s part of the Corpse-Driving Sect is not unreasonable.
“Now some people can no longer say Zhao Kingdom has no one,” someone shouted loudly.
“Exactly, if Zhao Kingdom hadn’t acted, some people would have grass three feet high on their graves by next year!” Another person agreed.
Upon hearing this, ’Invincible Vajra’ Jin Tingfeng’s face turned pale.
He opened his mouth but still didn’t say anything.
Summer Hong, Wang Enning, and others from the Red Sun Sect also became somewhat awkward, finding neither leaving nor staying was suitable.
The more they mocked then, the more they felt a fiery pain on their faces now.
In the end, the boomerang struck them hard.
They still had to rely on the ’peopleless’ Zhao Kingdom to rescue themselves, which only highlighted more their incompetence.
Red Hero left.
But the huge impact of his return to Jianghu was far from over.
“Did you know, Red Hero is indeed one of us from Zhao Kingdom!”
“What, Red Hero truly is one of us? I told you, how could Zhao Kingdom truly not produce a hero?”
“Red Hero reappeared in Jianghu, forcefully defeating the Howling Moon Heaven Wolf, saving ’Invincible Vajra’ Jin Tingfeng, ’Fairy Biluo’ Xin Ziqi, ’Flame Divine Monarch’ Summer Hong… Only shows, even between the top and getting to the top of Demon Elimination List, there is a significant gap, and ours from Zhao Kingdom is the strongest!”
Upon knowing Red Hero was from Zhao Kingdom, the emotions of the Zhao Kingdom citizens were incredibly excited and enthusiastic.
Compared to Lou Yi’s previous life when his national football team entered the World Cup, or some individuals winning gold medals in projects long dominated by the West.
In the past, on the Demon Elimination List, Zhao Kingdom didn’t have even a single genius in the top ten, let alone the top.
The citizens’ emotions were extremely repressed and angry, lamenting helplessness.
Now with Red Hero appearing, instantly taking the top position with force and rescuing others in the top.
The Zhao Kingdom citizens’ long-repressed emotions were instantly released, filled with pride and joy.
Especially Huai City’s citizens, who had already been saved by Red Hero once, now counted as the second time.
Everyone was filled with gratitude.
Almost half of the citizenry’s homes had set up long-life tablets for Red Hero, painted his portrait, and were constantly giving blessings and prayers for him.
Zhao Kingdom, Corpse-Driving Sect.
Within the dining hall of Wendao Peak, rows of redwood tables were orderly arranged.
At its center, a three-foot tall bronze cauldron held steaming porridge, releasing wisps of enticing white steam.
The disciples who were eating occasionally engaged in animated discussions, the name ’Red Hero’ frequently appearing in their conversations.
“Red Hero turned out to be one of us in Zhao Kingdom.
Do you think he was secretly groomed by our sect?”
“I think that’s unlikely.
If he were our sect’s direct lineage, he would have revealed his identity long ago, why keep using the name Red Hero?”
“I heard from my master that Elder Bi once proposed recruiting Red Hero to become our sect’s Guest Minister.
Unfortunately, it was rejected by Elder Fang and his group.”
“Damn it, they’re just full of themselves…” Someone muttered quietly, their tone full of resentment.
“Suggest once and fail, you can suggest again,” another laughed.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up.
Yan Kingdom, True Blood Sect.
Within a meticulously arranged and flourishing garden, many cultivators were amidst it, enjoying flowers and chatting at the same time.
“How could that Green Sheep Demon be a match for Senior Brother Jin? It’s a pity our cultivation is at a critical juncture, or we would definitely go and see!”
“When do you think Senior Brother Jin will seize the top spot on the Demon Elimination List for the eighth time?”
“Soon, soon, aside from Summer Hong from the Red Sun Sect and Lu Chen posing a little threat, the others are far behind…”
“Zhao Kingdom natives are truly a bunch of incompetents.
I think even if we sent Li Yunsheng there, he could be invincible at the same level, receiving full cultivation support from the Corpse-Driving Sect.”
“Hahaha!”
Just then, they saw a familiar small figure, hurriedly running over.
“Huh, just mentioned Li Yunsheng, here he comes?”
“Is there new good news?”
“Guessing Senior Brother Jin already slew the Green Sheep Demon, haha.”
Among the joking and talking.
They saw Li Yunsheng, with a somber face and anxious expression, urgently speaking to the others:
“Not good, something terrible has happened, our sect has suffered great losses this time!”
“Senior Brother Sun Chen has fallen, killed by an unknown snake demon…”
“Senior Brother Jin was no match for the Howling Moon Heaven Wolf tribe, completely powerless.
If not for Red Hero from the Zhao Kingdom taking action, he might have not come back, though he was severely injured…”
With Li Yunsheng’s description, everyone’s face became increasingly shocked and dire.
The atmosphere on-site became extremely grave and gloomy.
“Impossible, how could Senior Brother Jin lose!”
“The Howling Moon Heaven Wolf? Did the wolf tribe really take action, this is tricky…”
“Even Senior Brother Jin couldn’t defeat the wolf tribe, how could Red Hero do it?
Could it be a seasoned Great Cultivator, already cultivating the body cultivation method to the Realm of Perfection?”
“No, according to the Demon Elimination List, Red Hero is merely twenty-eight years old!” Li Yunsheng shook his head.
“Hiss…” Everyone couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
They understood clearly what this meant.
Not even thirty years old yet, likely achieving the body cultivation to the Realm of Perfection.
Even in the thousands of years of True Blood Sect’s history, only one or two people could barely manage that.
“Got to train hard.
We, being the Northern Domain’s only body cultivation sect.
How could we be inferior to possibly a loose cultivator?” Someone unwillingly remarked.
Through messaging talismans, various messages about the distant Zhao Kingdom’s human-demon battlefield were timely transmitted to the sect.
The fall of Sun Chen, Jin Tingfeng’s crushing defeat, astounded the members of the True Blood Sect.
At the same time, they deeply remembered the name Red Hero.
