Chapter 239

Unfortunately, Eighth Master Chang’s attempt at “flattery” was destined to go to waste.

The God of Slaughter did not even look at him or Chen Daji. He merely smiled at Hua Jiunan.

“There is no need for such ceremony, Young Friend!

“I often heard General Li praise you in the past. Now that we have met, you have indeed not disappointed this commander!”

Chen Daji’s nerves were extraordinarily thick, and he quickly adapted to the killing intent surrounding Bai Qi.

“E-Eldest Master Bai, is the General Li you mentioned Li Guang?

“I know that guy. He’s a good person.”

As Chen Daji spoke, he took the blood-red longbow from his back.

“This is what I got from him in exchange for my slingshot. He didn’t even take my spicy strips…”

Bai Qi looked coolly at Chen Daji, his eyes filled with anger at the boy’s failure to live up to his potential.

“Look at yourself! What have you become?

“A band of wandering ghosts actually chased you into such a sorry state!

“Where is the spirit with which you once held off nearly a hundred barbarian cavalrymen alone?!”

Chen Daji stared at him, scratched his head, and asked in confusion,

“Eldest Master, was I really that powerful in my previous life?

“Then why can’t I even beat Fatty Zhao now…?”

Only after hearing Chen Daji did the God of Slaughter Bai Qi realize that the boy had not broken through the mystery of the womb.

At the same time, however, a question arose in his mind.

If Chen Daji had not broken through the mystery of the womb, how had he recovered his “ghost-form” in the Yin-Yang Realm?

(A ghost-form is a ghost’s appearance at the moment of death.)

(For example, Chen Daji now wore heavy armor filled with arrows.)

Setting the question aside for the moment, Bai Qi continued calmly,

“You were never under this commander’s command. Ask Li Guang yourself if you want the details.

“Nor is the Old General Li I mentioned Li Guang. He is…”

Before Bai Qi could finish, Hua Jiunan could not suppress his excitement and interrupted urgently,

“General Bai, you know my grandfather?!

“Where is he?!”

Bai Qi reached out and patted Hua Jiunan’s shoulder.

Icy killing intent entered his body and instantly calmed him.

“Do not be impatient, Young Friend.

“Old General Li asked this commander to tell you: live as a good person. You will meet again one day, and that day is not far away!”

Hua Jiunan nodded deeply. Only after a moment of silence did he speak again.

“I have not yet thanked the Marshal for saving our lives. Forgive my lapse.

“May I ask whether the Marshal waited here because he has some task for this junior?”

Hua Jiunan was highly intelligent.

He had already guessed that Bai Qi’s appearance here and rescue of their group were no coincidence.

Given the God of Slaughter’s identity and status, why would he lead an army around without purpose?

After all, every movement he made would draw attention from all sides.

Hearing Hua Jiunan, Bai Qi looked at him with even greater appreciation.

“You are correct, Young Friend.

“This commander waited here to meet you because I have an important matter to entrust to you.

“Some time ago, that wretch Ghost Mother injured the jailers, caused havoc in Hell, and released many wanted prisoners.

“I care nothing for the other villains. But my enemy Fan Ju was among them!”

At the name Fan Ju, the killing intent around Bai Qi intensified.

Even the ten thousand soldiers behind him showed anger.

“According to reports, that wretch Fan Ju has escaped to the mortal realm. Because of my special status, I cannot go there to execute him.

“When I discussed the matter with Old General Li some time ago, he said you could help me.

“That is why this commander shamelessly waited here.”

At that, the God of Slaughter Bai Qi paused.

“I have already given Old General Li my word.

“Once this matter is accomplished, I can lead my army to aid you once when you seek vengeance-no matter who your enemy may be!”

Hua Jiunan frowned slightly.

“Marshal, it isn’t that I am unwilling to help apprehend the fugitive. The world of men is vast, and this junior fears I may not be able to find him.”

Hua Jiunan’s words terrified Eighth Master Chang, who had shrunk into a heap.

He wailed inwardly,

*Oh, my young master physician! My little ancestor!*

*You dare refuse a request from this lord?*

*If he gets angry, won’t the lot of us die with one bang after another?!*
