Chapter 572

## Chapter 572: The Lazy One Advances (2)

“Will everything be alright?”

Lu Yi observed the Righteous Martial Alliance headquarters with slightly uneasy eyes.

The poisonous fog that had previously billowed as if it were about to swallow them whole had completely disappeared. However, he felt no desire to return there immediately.

*’It was terrifying.’*

It was such a spooky poison that just looking at it made his spine tingle. If he had touched that poison, Lu Yi would now be just a puddle of blood.

“It seems that fortunately there is no damage.”

Lu Yi quickly lowered his head upon hearing the voice coming from behind.

“Great Sovereign!”

“We must assess the situation.”

“But Advisor One…”

“Yes. The Advisor ordered me to go to Hefei. But that order was given considering that the headquarters might collapse. If the situation has changed, our interpretation of the order must also change. Blindly following orders is not always the right thing to do.”

The Great Sovereign looked around and clicked his tongue.

“Look.”

“Huh?”

“Don’t you see it?”

“Where…?”

Lu Yi followed the direction the Great Sovereign was pointing.

*A dog house?*

There was a dog house from some nearby house.

“Is there something strange there?”

“Probably until recently there was a dog tied there, wasn’t there?”

“Ah…”

Lu Yi looked at the dog house again with new eyes. It was completely empty, as if there had never been anything there. He only noticed that the ground seemed to be wet.

*So that moisture is…?*

The dog had melted without leaving a bone upon touching the poison. Lu Yi shook his head. An incredible poison. If he had touched that poison, he would have ended up like that too. Although martial artists have more resistance to poison than ordinary people, even that has limits. Before such an extreme poison, everyone is the same.

“If someone couldn’t escape, they will have suffered the same fate.”

“…”

It was something he didn’t even want to imagine.

“Let’s go.”

“Huh?”

The Great Sovereign frowned slightly.

“We must see with our own eyes what happened. It seems that everything has been resolved, so we must go.”

“But Great Sovereign…”

What Lu Yi wanted to say was a single thing:

*Can we be sure that the situation there has been resolved?*

Two Bishops had arrived. In addition, the poison that had undoubtedly emanated from the Poison Demon almost killed them all. In this situation, the Great Sovereign’s words sounded too reckless.

But no one knew better than Lu Yi that the Great Sovereign was not that kind of person. In the world there might be people smarter than the Great Sovereign, but few were more cautious than him. That is why the Master of Divine Abilities had entrusted his role to the Great Sovereign.

“There is nothing to worry about.”

The Great Sovereign spoke calmly.

“But the headquarters collapsed…”

Lu Yi had clearly seen how the buildings of the headquarters collapsed. That couldn’t have happened if something serious hadn’t happened inside.

“They are old buildings, they probably fell from the impact.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“The reason is simple. If the Bishops were still alive, I wouldn’t be as calm as I am now. Wouldn’t they have run out after resolving everything inside? That Luoyang is safe is the first proof.”

It was a logical argument.

“And the second reason is even simpler. Didn’t you see the martial artist wrapped in light?”

“Ah!”

Lu Yi nodded repeatedly.

He had also seen it clearly. The light that pushed back the expanding poison.

“In the current martial world, there is only one person who can display that appearance. Wei Yanho, the ‘Radiant Sword’ Wei Yanho has arrived.”

“The Radiant Sword…”

Lu Yi looked towards the Righteous Martial Alliance with trembling eyes.

*Wei Yanho.*

He had also heard the rumors. Anyone in the Righteous Martial Alliance had the name of Wei Yanho engraved in their ears.

The son of Wei Jeonghan, the ‘Sword of the Righteous Hero’, and the younger brother of Wei Sanho, the ‘Demon-Expelling Sword’. The youngest of the powerful Wei family of Guangdong, whose names already resonated throughout the world thanks only to Wei Sanho and Wei Jeonghan.

*And the ‘First Genius of the New Generation’.*

Wei Yanho, who had eclipsed Wei Sanho, considered the greatest talent in a hundred years. Those who classify the information of the martial world no longer dare to place Wei Yanho in the category of “geniuses of the new generation”. How could they call “genius of the new generation” someone who defeated the Poison King and cut down the ‘Heavenly Flowing Sword’?

He was already a powerful master of the martial world.

Not even the most outstanding masters of the martial world could confidently claim that they were stronger than Wei Yanho. Wei Yanho was no longer just the “First Genius of the New Generation”, but was now considered the closest to the title of “The Strongest in the World”.

*Wei Yanho has come?*

Lu Yi’s eyes scanned the headquarters. If Wei Yanho had arrived, he would undoubtedly be of great help. The headquarters was now practically unprotected. Against absolute masters like the Bishops of the Demon Cult, numbers meant nothing. Only when there are masters of similar level who can withstand their attacks do numbers have any meaning.

“But even if Wei Yanho came, didn’t two Bishops come? Even if he could subdue them, so quickly…?”

“It’s something that our minds cannot comprehend.”

The Great Sovereign cut off the topic flatly.

“Humans do not know how dragons live. And there is no need to know. How could we know how many years a snake must live to become an earth dragon, or how many years an earth dragon must live to become a dragon? We only need to see the facts. If Wei Yanho had not subdued the Bishops, would he still be here?”

It was true.

“Let’s go. Anyway, if the Bishops had won, the result would not be very different.”

He meant that even if they fled, they would eventually die. Lu Yi swallowed dryly and followed the Great Sovereign. Unlike Lu Yi, who was very tense, the Great Sovereign walked calmly, as if he was sure that his reasoning could not be wrong.

They soon arrived at the headquarters, lightly jumped over the wall, and entered. Behind them, other martial artists entered en masse.

*It’s a chaos.*

There was a big difference between seeing it from the outside and from the inside. From the outside, apart from the collapsed central building, there didn’t seem to be much damage, but from the inside it could be seen that several buildings were destroyed and the tiles scattered everywhere.

“It doesn’t even look like there was a big battle.”

“That means that the forces that collided were so powerful that this is little. It could have been worse.”

“You’re right.”

Actually…

Considering that masters of that level fought to the death, this damage was minimal. It would have been understandable if the entire headquarters had been blown up.

“If this is the damage for defeating two Bishops, we should have a party. Even if the entire headquarters had been destroyed, it would not have been a loss.”

The Great Sovereign looked around with cold eyes and continued walking. Everyone held their breath and followed him.

*Around there?*

Lu Yi entered the central square after passing through the buildings and narrowed his eyes. In the middle of the square were several people standing.

“Ah!”

Among them he saw the Master of Divine Abilities.

“Advisor!”

Lu Yi ran towards him.

Hearing his cry, the Master of Divine Abilities turned his head towards Lu Yi.

*Huh?*

What was that?

It seemed that the Advisor’s expression was a bit strange, wasn’t it?

*It can’t be.*

He must have seen it wrong.

Lu Yi had never seen the Master of Divine Abilities angry before. Maybe a couple of times he had seen him annoyed, but never with an expression of explosive irritation like the one he had just seen.

The Master of Divine Abilities was not that kind of person.

Look at him.

The expression he saw a moment ago was definitely a mistake. The face of the Master of Divine Abilities was as serene as ever.

*Truly the Advisor.*

Maintaining that calm after going through something like this. Admiration sprouted in his heart.

And another thing.

*Who is it?*

Lu Yi quickly examined the people around the Master of Divine Abilities.

Among them was Wei Yanho. Considering the descriptions he had heard of Wei Yanho… it wasn’t really necessary.

He knew immediately.

While everyone else seemed normal, only one person had a slightly strange appearance.

*That is.*

His clothes were tattered and disheveled. But it wasn’t old clothes. Compared to the beggar next to him, probably a member of the Beggar Sect, the difference was obvious.

Lu Yi frowned slightly.

*He doesn’t seem that strong.*

A master looks like a master.

Although people should not be judged by their appearance, after dealing with masters for a long time, something common could be found in their appearance.

To be exact, it was not so much their appearance, but the aura they emanated or the feeling of weight in their presence.

But in Wei Yanho nothing of that was felt. If he had to describe the feeling…

*A neighborhood thug?*

Or a Lazy person?

He couldn’t help it.

A person’s external appearance cannot accurately determine their character. Lu Yi also admitted that. But there was one thing in appearance that helped a lot in judging a person.

His gaze.

*What is this?*

Young martial masters of that age usually have a determined look.

Their eyes should be full of energy and burn with the determination to achieve something.

But Wei Yanho was not like that at all.

Seeing those lifeless eyes, Lu Yi’s entire energy escaped him.

*Is this person Wei Yanho?*

Does he mean that this young man in front of him, with fish eyes and yawning non-stop, is the same Wei Yanho who is causing a stir in the martial world?

*No, it can’t be.*

It shouldn’t be.

But ignoring Lu Yi’s feelings, the Great Sovereign spoke.

“The young Wei Yanho?”

“Huh?”

The fish-eyed young man replied in an unenergetic voice.

Lu Yi, who had just received confirmation, grabbed his chest.

*This cannot be.*

The “First Genius of the New Generation”, and the “Strongest Man in the World”, should be objects of admiration. Achievements are important, but so is how much their example inspires others. But Wei Yanho’s current appearance was not only not an example, but was perfect for being a bad influence.

“I’ve heard a lot about you.”

“About me?”

“Yes. You are as relaxed as they said.”

“Hehe, I hear that often.”

How is it possible, damn it?!

Who says that?!

Lu Yi’s face turned red.

“That gentleman seems to be sick…”

At Wei Yanho’s direct comment, Lu Yi waved his hands.

“No, it’s not like that.”

“Ah, no?”

Wei Yanho looked at him with slightly annoyed eyes.

It seemed that this perspicacious guy had realized that Lu Yi was looking at him with disapproval.

“So…”

The Great Sovereign confirmed.

“What happened to the Bishops?”

“Did they die?”

“…Did the young man kill them?”

“Yes.”

Wei Yanho’s casual response sent a chill down his spine.

*He really killed two Bishops?*

This young man with an innocent appearance?

The Great Sovereign exchanged glances with the Master of Divine Abilities, who nodded to confirm.

“If that’s true…”

The Great Sovereign looked around the ruined headquarters and spoke in a low voice.

“From this moment, the order of the martial world will change.”

They were words that sounded like a statement.
