Chapter 706: Invitation

Chapter 706: Invitation

Han Li didn't have full trust in Mo Guang, so he was intently observing the unfolding scene on the stone platform, and his heart also stirred slightly upon hearing mention of the Void Integration Tribe.

The Void Integration Tribe had appeared in the scriptures that Han Li had gathered on more than one occasion, but all records about them were rather ambiguous in their wording, not because this was an extremely secretive tribe, or because the Gray Lizard Tribe's information gathering abilities were lackluster.

Instead, it was because the Void Integration Tribe was an extremely high-ranking noble tribe even in the context of the entire Gray Realm.

In contrast, the Gray Lizard Tribe was a bottom feeder, even in the Black Teeth Region, so the separation between the two tribes couldn't have been any larger, and it was no wonder that the Gray Lizard Tribe wasn't able to gather much information at all.

All Han Li knew was that the Void Integration Tribe ruled over the Young Dawn Region, which was allied to the Reincarnation Region, thereby making it an enemy of the tribes of the Nirarbuda Region.

Aside from that, Han Li knew nothing else about the Void Integration Tribe, and he had no idea that the body that Mo Guang had taken over had once belonged to a Void Integration being.

Despite this unexpected turn of events, the Azure Ape being was too stunned to issue any orders for the Nirarbuda forces to stop what they were doing, so the massacre continued, and many Gray Lizard beings had already been slain.

"Stop them, Mo Guang," Han Li instructed through voice transmission.

Mo Guang didn't immediately spring into action upon hearing this. Instead, he took a glance in Han Li's direction.

Everyone was rather perplexed to see this, and they all turned in the same direction as well. Han Li cursed under his breath as he hurriedly concealed his aura and pretended to be unconscious.

At the same time, the Heavenly Devil Contract that he had signed with Mo Guang was already beginning to appear in his consciousness.

Thankfully, Mo Guang didn't make any false moves, and he turned to the Azure Ape being as he put away his black folding fan, then cracked his knuckles as he grinned to reveal two rows of pristine and even teeth.

As Miao Xiu stared at Mo Guang, all of her fear and panic suddenly faded, and his smile resembled a warm and shining beacon in her eyes.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

In direct contrast with Miao Xiu, the Azure Ape being was absolutely horrified by the sight of Mo Guang's smile, and he felt as if his entire body had been plunged into a glacial pit.

He gritted his teeth tightly as he tightened his grip around the black seashell, hoping that this treasure that had been bestowed upon him by his monarch would be able to save him.

However, before he had a chance to do anything else, the voice of a devil suddenly rang out beside his ears.

"What are you thinking?"

Mo Guang had transformed into a plume of gray mist, which had wrapped itself around the Azure Ape being like a snake completely without his detection. The only part of Mo Guang's body that remained intact was his head, and it was hovering right next to the Azure Ape being's head.

The Azure Ape being screamed in horror, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the plume of gray mist that Mo Guang had transformed into instantly surged into his body through all of his orifices.

An agonized look appeared on the Azure Ape being's face as he dropped his club and black seashell, then clasped his hands tightly around his own neck and stumbled a few steps backward before toppling to the ground.

Only after he fell completely still did the plume of black mist re-emerge from his body before reverting back to form Mo Guang's body.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly, and he was just about to say something when he spotted Miao Xiu approaching them.

She stopped quite a few steps away, then extended a respectful curtsey as she said, "I am Miao Xiu, the daughter of Monarch San Miao of our Black Teeth Region. May I know your name, Senior?"

Mo Guang turned to Miao Xiu with a smile, then blatantly scoured his gaze over her body, and hew as just about to reply when Han Li's voice rang out in his mind.

"Fellow Daoist Mo Guang, we are in a different realm right now, so please do be careful with your words and actions."

"Ah, so you're a young mistress of the San Miao Tribe. My name is Jiang Gu, and these are my servants, Li Han and Shi Chuankong," Mo Guang said with a smile.

"It's extremely fortunate for us that you're here today, Senior Jiang. Otherwise, all of our Black Teeth Region tribes would've suffered extremely severe losses," Miao Xiu said as she extended another curstey.

"I just so happened to be passing through the Black Teeth Region, and I wasn't going to get involved, but that green monkey was really annoying me," Mo Guang said in a casual manner.

"This attack from the Nirarbuda tribes is a declaration of war against our Black Teeth Region, so I have to get back to our San Miao Tribe to report everything to my father. You are the savior of our Black Teeth Region, so please allow us the opportunity to show you our hospitality," Miao Xiu said with a serious expression.

Mo Guang didn't immediately respond to the invitation. Instead, he appeared as if he were mulling over the offer while internally asking Han Li about how to proceed.

"We can go with her. We have no set objective at the moment anyway, so it wouldn't be a bad thing to go somewhere more safe and secure. On top of that, there should be more information at the San Miao Tribe as well," Han Li communicated through voice transmission.

"I suppose it would be rude to turn down such an earnest invitation. Having said that, I'm trying to keep a low profile at the moment, so please keep this a secret. Ideally, don't even tell your father about me for now," Mo Guang said in a serious manner.

Miao Xiu was ecstatic to hear this, and she immediately replied, "Rest assured, Senior, I won't tell anyone about you before we arrive at Serene Millet City. I'll only inform my father of your arrival once we get there, and of course, I'll ask him to keep your presence in our tribe a secret as well."

"That would be best," Mo Guang said with a nod.

"In that case, please allow me to take care of the matters at hand, and after that, I'll make arrangements for our journey to Serene Millet City," Miao Xiu said.

Mo Guang offered no response, merely dismissing her with a wave of his hand.

Following Miao Xiu's departure, Mo Guang turned his gaze back to the battlefield, which was filled with baleful qi from the slaughter that had just taken place, and he inhaled deeply with a content look on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Li, are we not taking too much of a risk here?" Shi Chuankong asked with a concerned expression.

"It's fine. With Fellow Daoist Mo Guang's identity as a Void Integration being, the people of the San Miao Tribe wouldn't dare to examine us too closely. All we have to do is be on our guard, and we should be able to maintain our covers," Han Li replied.

Shi Chuankong didn't say anything further, but the concern in his eyes didn't fade away, either.

1. The name that Han Li proposed (将古) can translate to imminent history, implying that Mo Guang is about to become history. Having said that, 古 (Gu) is also a pretty common name, and as far as I can tell, there's no intentional foreshadowing here or anything like that. ☜
