I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1849: 24.110 Sixth Violet Star - Back Home

Their journey on their way back was smoother than they expected. It was unlike what Mu Liao had thought of. However, unknown to him, there were people who had appeared to stop those who planned to ambush them. In the dark areas of the road, a few men in black robes had gathered.

"Are we truly going to do this? That’s the former marshal!"

"He is a hero who created the military from scratch!"

"You’ve accepted the payment from the doctors, there is no backing away now."

"Moreover, we aren’t here to kill but to steal instead!"

"Can we even win?"

"Do you not see the guys protecting the carriage?"

"Veteran soldiers and a famous mercenary group."

"If we get caught we die."

While the hired men of the doctors from the military border base were talking to one another, a man in camouflage appeared out of nowhere. Moreover, they were surprised that they didn’t even notice him appearing there.

The man said, "What is this? You haven’t done anything yet."

"Who are y---hmppph!!" A cloth-like thing was thrown precisely to his mouth, preventing him from speaking.

The lazy man looked around and only waved a few of his hands to destroy the trap that would cause the carriage to flip on the road nonchalantly. Among the hired men there seems to be one person who recognizes this person.

"T-This! This person... He is that one, the officer directly under Commander Gu’s command. He is Adjutant Sun. Former assassin and the officer who deals with traitors and other jobs connected to the dark side!"

"Congratulations~ you got it right. As a reward, I will kill last and painless."

The men hired by the doctors were frightened. They knew how powerful and skilled this man was. Even if they fight together there is no luck that they will survive. They can only stare at him terrified.

Adjutant Sun listed their sins before execution. After all, he couldn’t kill without permission and reason to do so. This is within the scope of his job as the cleaner.

"You are a soldier but you accept bribes. You left the barrack without permission and tried to move the only person the commander respects~. Moreover, it seems you brought your weapons with you illegally. I shall now commence execution."

The group of men before Adjutant Sun died even before they could scream. A thin and almost invisible string was attached to the necks of these traitors and they were all killed collectively leaving only a string soaked in their blood.

Adjutant Sun on the other hand glanced at the carriage which was moving away farther from the border, he was looking at this scene until the carriage disappeared from his sight.

He mumbles, "That’s the mercenary king. Interesting~ I hope we can clash one day."

After he suddenly left, this part of the road was burned down. Unexpectedly, the fire didn’t spread much and faded only leaving a pile of ashes which eventually blew away by the wind to scatter.

Pei Clan’s Territory

Underground Area

Upon shadow’s return, the report about the mission failure had made Pei Jin go insane in anger. He is now beating Shadow with the latter fighting back. Despite the young body of Pei Jin, his strength is unexpectedly stronger than ordinary children. This is all thanks to the blessing his unhatched beast egg had given.

He was currently kicking and punching Shadow until he curled while laying on the ground covering his head at least. Covered in bruises and cuts, Shadow didn’t even fight back even once. After all, this is the first that saves his life when he is young and if not for him, he wouldn’t exist at all. That’s why he let whatever Pei Jin does to him and followed all his commands despite some of it being absurd.

"You useless thing! You cannot even kill an old man who is one foot to his grave!"

"So fucking useless! What use is it if you can’t even do such a simple thing!"

A voice echoes in the area stopping Pei Jin from going even more crazy with anger. This is the same voice that Shadow had heard in the barren land and had been giving him commands.

{Calm down, Master. It is true that Shadow had failed. But that is not his fault, the Killer Pavilion’s Master had lied to you. The support type Beast that your little rival had used to have lost is still alive and now even hatched. That disgusting little angel!}

Pei Jin was stunned with what he had heard. He didn’t expect to hear this news.

"That damn chicken winged creature is not dead! Just as I thought! Pavilion Master Xie Yun, you are going to pay for this!!!" Pei Jin shouted in anger.

Who would have expected that someone dares to trick him not only for his money but also lied about the results of his commission. He should have understood that the Killer Pavilion’s Master, Xie Yun, had a good relationship with the Long Clan. So it wasn’t surprising that he would lie for the sake of the old marshal.

Pei Jin cursed and said, "It’s that damn old man again! How many times is he going against me!?"

{Master doesn’t need to get so angry. I had Shadow bring you a gift. Something you would love to have~}

Even though receiving a gift at this time feels weird, Pei Jin’s raging madness slightly calmed down upon hearing his beast’s words. Something his beast can consider a gift for him is not that many.

Pei Jin looked at Shadow who was lying on the floor and kicked him once.

"Stand! Where is my gift? Show me. If it’s something that makes me happy, your little life can be spared," said the young lord of the Pei Clan.

Shadow did as he was told to. Ignoring the pain all over his body, he stood up and took out the silver stone from his hidden pocket and presented it to Pei Jin like it was a treasure. The silver stone with blood-like patterns emits the sound of heartbeats which instantly attracts the eyes of Pei Jin.

As soon as the young lord of the Pei Clan saw this stone, the attraction it had towards him was immense. Much more than what he anticipated, his eyes turned crimson with his irises turning into an inhuman patter which no mortal would possess. The pattern of ten pointed stars.

Pei Jin chuckles as he holds the silver stone, "This scent and this energy. It is the same as before. Hahaha~"

"Such a precious gift. I shall spare your life for now. You can go now and have yourself treated."

With permission to leave, Shadow walks away preparing to leave the underground and uses the elevator to go above ground. Before the elevator doors closed, he saw his young lord laughing like he hit a jackpot laughing with immense joy. He looks more crazy than he usually is.

"With this stone I should be able to hatch my beast!" Pei Jin said.

Back to the perspective of the Long Clan

Finally returning home to their own families, all the soldiers who had survived were welcomed by their families. Despite some of them being covered in bandages and injuries, they still happily welcomed the arrival of the Old marshal and the rest.

As expected, as soon as the old marshal had returned, he immediately came to find his eldest son, Long Kian. Long Tian looked so pale from his injuries and stress from work had no other choice but to bring his father and the young ones to see Long Kian who had fallen into a coma.

Seeing half of Long Kian’s face, body, arm and leg missing while lying on the bed shocked the old marshal and made Long Teng cry in disbelief.

Long Teng screamed upon seeing his father’s state, "DAD!?"

At this scene, Long Huang almost fainted on the spot if not for Long Tian and Long Juedi supporting him. Seeing the state of his eldest son, the old mashal felt that something had left his body. He was so shocked that he forgot about the pill given to them by the young gods.

"Dad!" "Grandpa!"

Long Huang was trembling as he tried to walk towards Long Kian. He wanted to reach out a hand to touch his son but saw that half of his limbs were missing making him devastated and felt as if something had dug his heart out. Adding the fact that Long Teng had been crying his heart out calling for his father as if trying to wake him up just made the soul of the old suffer even more.

"K-Kian’er? Father is back. Please wake up," said the old marshal with a trembling voice.

Mu Liao wanted to speak up but his father had dragged him out of the room leaving the Long family inside the room alone. He even got scolded by the Mu Patriarch.

The Mu Patriarch said, "Don’t talk about work with them for now. They need some time together as a family."

"But father..." Mu Liao wanted to tell his father about the pill under his protection which could most definitely wake Long Kian up and also not only treat his wounds but also regenerate his missing limbs as well as his burned skins.

The Mu Patriarch said, "Enough! Follow me to my room. Tell me everything that happened while you were out in the barren lands."
