Poison God's Heritage Chapter 591: Standoff

"Run!" said Shen Fu"To where," I replied. "Whatever's coming for us, will catch up to us in a blink, might as well wait and see," I replied as the blinding red glow was surging toward us. The power was getting closer and closer, and the more close it got the drearier and scarier it became.I was honestly feeling that death's looming scythe was already around my neck.Yet before the scythe would tear my neck out, I had a way out, simply I'd jump along with Shen Fu into the Lord of Lords pagoda once shit gets ugly.But just as the life ending power of the person coming toward us was about to fully grasp us into itself, a burst of golden and white aura washed over us and the entire land we were in, deflecting the red glow and instantly easing our breathing.The sense of certain doom and end was suddenly washed away by a glow of hope and prosperity. This light could only be described with one word… Holy.It was so pure and powerful that it easily pushed aside the domineering red glow and pushed it aside. The power of this glow was so gracious that the very dry and cracked land we were standing on was completely renovated. The ground turned moist then grass grew, seed opened up and trees rose up from the dead ground revitalizing it completely.Far above us, and at the same level of the incoming red glow, two people moved forward to intercept, and only then did the red glow stop.Far away, three men stood in the high skies, a standstill between the three. And just there and then, one of the three, a man wearing a full set of robes turned his heard towards us, and I could see it from far away, him winking at us and saying the words, "Keep going forward Shen Bao, we'll handle this."The man was thousands of miles away, and only thanks to my high cultivation level was I able to see his face, but the fact that I heard his whisper, not even through a divine sense, from that far away, as if he was standing just next to me was testament to this man's power and might."Let's go…" I told Shen Fu as the two of us headed forward leaving the three of them there.***"Lord of Lords… and The Wisest Sun," the man in red spoke."Slaughterer," the wisest sun lightly nodded his head, acknowledging the person in front of him.

The Lord of Lords turned his head back to the Red Sun and said, "You seemed to be in a hurry," he said."I'm sure I wasn't the one in a hurry, having the two of you move here so close to my territory, are you planning on waging a war?" the Red Sun laughed taunting the two."Only you would benefit from the spilling of blood, no, we're not here to fight," said the Wisest Sun."Then step aside, I found something interesting!" the Laughing Slaughterer replied as he was eyeing the two people running away towards the direction of the Sea of Demons."Those children belong to us, Laughing Slaughterer, I'm sure you're not going to bully juniors to satisfy your curiosity," said the Lord of Lords as he lightly began galvanizing his Qi. Doing so caused even more of this dead land to grow trees and weed, grass and spiritual herbs all over the place.The Red Sun sighed as he looked at the two and said, "Why did you come? How did you even allow people who belong to you to delve so deep into territory not belonging to yourselves?""Stuff happened," the Lord of Lord shrugged."Stuff happened? Huh, interesting. I had received information that a couple of spies ended up within my land so I had to come and check," the Red Sun said."Surely you don't mean the great Red Sun would personally move for the sake of a mere two presumed spies, I can promise you they mean no harm to you or your reign, you can leave them be," said the Wisest Sun."You old crook, don't give me that holy and sagacious behavior, I know you're more bloody than most, as for them they crossed my land they have to pay a tax," the Red Sun said."Are you sure you're not hunting after them just because that child has something that belongs to me," said the Lord of Lords.The Red Sun frowned, having been seen through he just shrugged."I suppose you wanted to capture the child and see his relationship with this old fool, but don't worry, today marks the first time I ever told him a word. So he isn't of great value to consider threatening or hostage material to me," said the Lord of Lords."I always thought you're a man who tell no lies," said the Red Sun."And I do tell no lies," said the Lord of Lords.

"No, it's not that you don't lie, you tell half-truths, indeed, this must be the first time you spoke to the child, but that doesn't mean he isn't of value to you. Since if he was of no value, why must you cross so far into my realm to protect him," the Laughing Slaughterer's smile grew wider."Fine, you win, Red Sun. What do you want," asked the Lord of Lords."I'm a curious man, I haven't had a thrill in a very long time, so tell me, why is he that interesting to you? Why must you come all the way here to protect him if he was of no value," asked the Laughing Slaughterer.The Wisest Sun and the Lord of Lords looked at each other and then back to the Red Sun, "It's going to take a while to explain, how about a drink?" asked the Lord of Lords.The Red Sun smiled then said, "There is a good inn nearby, let's go there," he said."Which inn do you think could accommodate three Suns?" asked the Wisest Sun. "An inn there," the Red Sun said as he pointed where Shen Bao and Shen Fu were running to.The two Suns beside the Laughing Slaughterer realized what he wanted to do.He wanted to intercept Shen Bao and Shen Fu, although they can prevent the Red Sun from harming Shen Bao, it would be unwise to get on the Red Sun's bad side. So they couldn't help but sigh as they nodded, "Let's go to the Sea of Demons then. We'll explain then," said the Wisest Sun as the three of them headed forward, while the Laughing Slaughterer… well, laughed.***"Bloody hell, what was that," cursed Shen Bao."That, was three Suns!" said Shen Fu as his entire body was still shivering from that encounter."You mean all the Suns in this Beyond are like that?" I replied as I glanced back, we were so far away I couldn't even see the three of them. But was sure as hell they could see us as we ran forward as fast as possible."Yeah, and trust me, they were controlling their power so much just to not affect the world itself. The Suns are not named Suns just like that, it's because their power is so incredible that they're able to dictate life and death over the world. They're as close to deities as you can believe," said Shen Fu."And you plan on fighting one of them?" I asked him, hinting at the Darkest Sun. Follow current on storynovel.net

"Yes, if there is a will there is a way, though we're weak right now, we can reach that realm. It's not easy, but for me, I have to reach it… I must reach it."I could see the desperation in his face flash for a moment, yet it was washed away as it was replaced with vengeance and hope."It's strange though," I said as we were on the run crossing mountains and rivers with each step. "How did that person know of my name?" I muttered."Who?" asked Shen Fu."The old one, wearing full white," I said.But the reply didn't come from Shen Fu, but actually the automaton from the Lord of Lords pagoda."That was the Lord of Lords, my creator, and my lord, the maker of the Pagoda that you dwell in. It is his most prized possession and it was gifted to you Master Shen Bao," he said."I see…" I replied. "And the one who was next to him," I asked."That was my Master's Only remaining true friend, the Wisest Sun, he was the one who made the Five Keys that created the Vast Expanse," he said."And I suppose the other one was the Red Sun," I said."Yeah, anyone could guess that, that was the Dao of Slaughter, and it wasn't even unleashed. The power behind those old crows is too much for us, let's keep heading forward. I have no idea why they came to assist us, but we have to count our blessings," he added."How far?" I asked."At our speed, we can make it in a month. The Sea of Demons isn't far, but it is vast in itself," he said."Right, but I'm not a fan of this speed, Get up," I said as I pulled out my Hoverboard. It was damaged from all the shit that it went through in the exiled celestial city, but it was still far faster than the both of us right now and we wouldn't have to exhaust any energy."Interesting tool you got there, I suppose it's fast," he said."It'll show you the meaning of haste! I used to cross space using this," I replied proudly."You should still have taken slightly better care of it than this though," he said as he pointed out at the state of the board."It was your heart demons that did a number on it, but don't worry, it can still carry us both to our destination," I said. "Now hop on and let's go."
