Chapter 1331: Fear And Shock!

Pu Long disappeared after he finished his thoughts.

A few minutes later, he reappeared on top of the same road lamp. He scanned the area around him with scrutiny, and saw there was no one present. He shook his head. "Is my mind playing tricks on me?"

He came back again because he felt a gaze looking over him. However, after looking around carefully, he couldn't find the source of that gaze and that feeling was gone too. It really did seem his mind was playing tricks on him.

But, as someone who had reached quite high in physical skills, he wouldn't ignore his instincts when it signaled to him.

Unfortunately, he didn't find anyone. Reality told him that it was really his illusion.

"Forget it." Pu Long sighed regretfully. So what if someone was peeping at him? They would only know that Lord Zhen knew what happened here. It really wouldn't affect them.

After Pu Long reassured himself, he disappeared again. This time, he really left. As a member of the 13 Lords' faction, he didn't need to be so careful.

A few minutes passed by again, a black figure slowly appeared under a road lamp.

The person raised his head slightly, revealing a face that was covered with a silver mask. "The people of the Lawless Lands are really impressive. I used the aura-restraining technique Rabbit taught me but he still detected my presence."

"Lord Zhen?" Li Lanfeng smiled. "Maybe he is a good partner to work with."

Li Lanfeng's figure slowly disappeared. He left too.

Soon, the news about Lord Gen failing and Ji Ming losing to a young brat was known by the other 12 Lords as well as the leaders of the other factions.

"Rainbow Raiders. It looks like they're serious this time." One of the representatives sent by Rainbow Raiders was already on par with Ji Ming. If they still thought that the Rainbow Raiders was just casually passing by, they should just leave the Lawless Lands.

"They formed a grudge with Lord Gen the moment they arrived. Their journey on the Lawless Lands will be difficult."

"I don't know about that. There are just too many conflicts between the 13 Lords to know what their intentions are. Even if they offended Lord Gen, the other lords might not be unhappy. So it's hard to say for now."

"That'll depend on the attitude of the other 12 lords. If most of them chose to drive out the Rainbow Raiders, the Rainbow Raiders will be unable to do anything too, even if they are a top-class mercenary team."

"We'll know the results tomorrow. What we know now is that Lord Gen won't forgive them easily.

"If other lords step out to help the Rainbow Raiders, it'll be more fun."

"Do you think Lord Zhen will help them? After all, he has been at odds with Lord Gen for a long time."

"That'll depend on the other lords too. If they support Lord Gen, Lord Zhen won't move."

"It's hard to determine anything…"

"We must wait for the 13 Lords to give their final say. We mustn't be implicated by this and give the 13 Lords a reason to take us down."

On the surface, the most powerful people in the Lawless Lands were the 13 Lords but there were many strong factions below them who wanted to become the 14th lord. To prevent their grip over the Lawless Lands from loosening, the 13 Lords scrutinized these factions carefully. A few days ago, Lord Gen and Lord Zhen worked together to wipe out a new faction that was developing rapidly. It had many capable people under its wings and its strength was formidable too. A lot of people really thought that the leader of this rapidly growing faction would become a new lord.

But, Lord Gen and Lord Zhen, who used to be at loggerheads with each other, suddenly cooperated and uprooted the new faction in a blink of an eye. After that, they quickly segregated the faction's territory.

Of course, it was impossible for them to destroy a faction entirely within such a short period of them. So, there must be other lords helping them. These were all secrets that outsiders wouldn't be privy of.

However, no matter what, Lord Gen and Lord Zhen's swift uproot still stunned all the factions. Those that were planning for some grand scheme decided to keep low for the time being and bide for some time first. All of them were afraid that they would be the next target.

The guard team of the port locked their rooms and went to bed after they returned to their rooms. None of them could actually sleep a wink that night.

The next morning, their leader woke them up to continue patrolling the area.

Unconsciously, they walked to the area where the 7th Bugle Call was docked at. It must be because they were all subconsciously thinking about this ship.

They thought that the ship would have been taken over by Lord Gen but surprisingly, the people from the 7th Bugle Call were still there maintaining the ship and cleaning their area.

The ground around their ship was surprisingly very clean but the leader still saw bloodstains that hadn't been cleaned on the floor.

Instinctively, he led his men over and talked to the nearest crew member of the 7th Bugle Call.

"Brother, what happened last night? Why are you cleaning the port so bright and early in the morning?" The leader pretended to be oblivious to what happened last night and asked with a curious face. He even passed a cigarette over to the man.

Cigarettes were a luxury item in the Lawless Lands. High-class tobacco couldn't be grown here so if they wanted pure tobacco, they needed to rely on the smugglers. Normally, only those with a certain status had high-class cigarettes. Normal people could only smoke on low-quality local tobacco. Even so, the price of local tobacco was still expensive.

"Nothing. Some bold thieves tried to steal our goods. Aren't they looking for death?" The crew member's eyes lit up when he saw the cigarette. He smiled happily as he took it.

The leader took out his lighter and lit the cigarette for the crew member. He continued asking, "From the bloodstains, it looked like there were quite a number of thieves."

The crew member took a deep breath and enjoyed the cigarette. After satisfying his craving, he replied, "That's right. There were close to a hundred people."

"A hundred people? That's a lot. How many people did you send to fight them?" The leader appeared to be frightened by the huge number.

"One person from our Team 05 is enough to tackle those nobodies…" The crew member gave a look of disdain.

The leader chatted with the crew member for a while longer before parting ways.

After they walked out of the vicinity, the leader heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and reminded his team members, "You should stay as far away from the 7th Bugle Call as possible in the future."

"Why?" One of the team members asked. When their leader was chatting, they went to chat with the other crew members too. They found the other party very friendly so they had a good impression of them.

"Someone who can kill Lord Gen's men and still appear nonchalant must either be ignorant or very confident in themselves. Do you think that the people on the 7th Bugle Call are ignorant?" The leader asked.

Everyone shook their heads. The crew member they talked to didn't seem like frogs in the well. They weren't arrogant either.

"The 7th Bugle Call isn't simple. However, Lord Gen isn't simple either. Small fries like us don't have the right to watch their battle. We should just stay away from them. Don't die without knowing how you did." The leader sighed loudly. He turned back and looked at the 7th Bugle Call fearfully.

Yesterday night, he was afraid of Lord Gen. Today, he was scared of the 7th Bugle Call.

Chapter 1332: Liar Liar Pants on Fire!

It was no surprise to the leader that soon the 13 Lords immediately gave out an order to close off the area where the 7th Bugle Call docked at.

In the afternoon, swarms of people could be seen to and fro the 7th Bugle Call continuously.

The 7th Bugle Call seemed to have already made preparations for these uninvited guests. On the deck of the starship, they had prepared a banquet with many types of food and drinks on the side. Although there weren't any flamboyant decorations or classy displays of antiques, it was still luxurious and elegant enough to accommodate these guests.

'They probably hold high positions in their ranks.' Thought the chief manager of the spaceport after seeing the display of dishes in front of him. He raised his opinion on the people from the Rainbow Raiders in his mind once again.

Determining a person's position and power didn't require them to be there in person. It was possible to see some of it through the arrangements that person made.

However, he no longer had the time to keep guessing the position held by the captain of the 7th Bugle Call. That was because out of the 13 Lords, five of them actually sent representatives to attend the banquet, which was quite a shocker to the crowd. It should be known that newly arrived factions who wanted to make a name for themselves in the Lawless Lands, no matter how good their reputation was, the 13 Lords would only send one or two representatives to scout them. There had never been a time when there were more than three representatives. Thus, with five representatives coming all of a sudden, the chief manager of the spaceport was so stunned that his mind was all jumbled up on all the theories on why they would send five representatives.

It was no surprise that Lord Gen, who the 7th Bugle Call had a bone to pick with, sent Guardian Ji Ming and Guardian Yu Shangfei here. Alongside them, they brought three domain realm masters who rose to fame recently. It was clear with their entourage that they were looking for trouble.

Everyone also guessed that Lord Gen's eternal rival, Lord Zhen, would send representatives as well. Maybe it was a coincidence, but a few minutes after Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei arrived, out of the 12 of Lord Zhen's Thunder and Lightning Enforcers, the 9th Enforcer, Bai Nuo, appeared with two of his subordinates.

However, everyone was shocked by the following appearances of Lord Holy's Angel Zhi, Lord Li's Magistrate Shadow Flame, and Midnight Rider. They were shocked because they didn't know whether the 13 Lords had reached a consensus to make such arrangements or not. However, everyone knew the answer to their questions would be known soon, as the captain of the 7th Bugle Call was about to come out.

In the banquet area, all the guests had more or less arrived. However, even after 10 minutes of waiting, the 7th Bugle Call as the host, had only sent out servers and crew members to entertain them. There wasn't a single authoritative figure from the 7th Bugle Call's side on the deck. That included the titled domain realm formidable warrior who was rumored to be someone that even Lord Gen's guardian, Ji Ming, couldn't go against.

However, the situation was only temporary. The captain of the 7th Bugle Call would definitely show up. It was just unknown whether it was that title domain realm master who already had a name for himself, or was it someone else. All of the guests who came were all extremely looking forward to knowing the answer.

Right at that moment, they heard some footsteps coming towards the deck. Everyone turned towards the large door that led to the deck, and three people were revealed under the glistening sun.

The middle-aged man walking at the front of the group had a rugged face, but he soon revealed that he also had a piercing voice. His voice reached those on the deck before he even arrived, "Hahaha… I'm sorry everyone. We were too busy counting our supplies. Sorry for making you wait."

Out of the two people behind him was a man who was around the same age as the middle-aged man who spoke, but he looked more charming. The other one was a handsome young man. Despite the three of them walking in one after the other, everyone's attention was completely drawn in by the young man after glancing over the middle-aged man. They couldn't stop looking at him.

"It's him," Ji Ming said as he gritted his teeth.

"That kid killed a hundred of our men? He looks too young." Yu Shangfei couldn't help but frown. According to the way the young man stood, he didn't give an impression that he was the captain of the ship. If a deputy was already that strong, then just how strong was that leading middle-aged man? Thinking up to that point, Yu Shangfei couldn't help but be more cautious. Although he was stronger than Ji Ming, even if by a little, they still wouldn't be able to do anything to them if the middle-aged man was stronger than the young man.

Luckily, in order to make sure everything went well, Lord Gen had another ace up his sleeve. Yu Shangfei admired his master because he could always think deeper and more clearly about matters like these.

Aa the three from 7th Bugle Call walked onto the deck, a lot of the crowd were closely paying attention to Ji Ming's face. When they saw him looking at the young man with a hateful look, they guessed that the young man was definitely the titled domain realm formidable warrior Ji Ming couldn't do anything against.

Everyone was shocked by their guess. Just how old was that young man? It looked as though he was 17 or 18 years old or at most in his early 20s. If he was a titled domain realm master at such a young age, then at what age did he become a domain realm master? Although the Lawless Lands provided their citizens an optimal environment for them to enter the domain stage and to become mecha pilots at a young age, there still weren't many people who have reached titled domain realm master at such a young age. Those who did, had already been taken in by the 13 Lords to nurture and develop into their strongest killers.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am James, the captain of the 7th Bugle Call. This is my deputy, Fedoran, and our 5th Team Leader, Luo Tianhua." Tian Fang irresponsibly and randomly created a few fake names. Luo Yang looked at Tian Fang helplessly. He knew that when there was the matter of fake names, Tian Fang would easily go off on a tangent.

Luo Lang on the other hand was carefully thinking about the fake name, Luo Tianhua. His final thought was that it was much nicer than his real name so he was extremely satisfied with it. Who knew he would actually hate his name 'Luo Lang'…That was something unexpected.

"We don't actually need to tell you where we are from, right? Everyone probably already knows, and we don't plan on hiding it either." Tian Fang continued to use their built impression of them to deceive them. Of course, if the real Rainbow Raiders came and interrogated them, he wouldn't be afraid. When did they say they were from the Rainbow Raiders? I mean who asked them to jump into conclusions before confirming with them first

Tian Fang's dismissive statement about their origin was very successful. Everyone nodded slightly after hearing his statement. With his words, everyone was certain that the 7th Bugle Call was a part of the Rainbow Raiders. Of course, they were already extremely certain of that fact, but Tian Fang's words cemented that fact.

"Our objective coming here is to open up a business route, so I would like to ask everyone to help us and cooperate with us." Tian Fang smiled as he put his hand out and bowed. His calm and respectful demeanor left a really good impression on everyone.

However, even if they had a good impression on James, they didn't have the authority to accept their request. Everyone looked at the representatives sent by the 5 lords in unplanned unison as they waited for them to answer.

Lord Holy, Lord Li and Lord Yu's representatives pretended to not hear anything as they looked forward calmly while swirling their wine glasses.

The scene suddenly became silent and the atmosphere turned awkward.

Ji Ming smirked coldly. The Rainbow Raiders shouldn't think so highly of themselves and get involved in the Lawless Lands. They should be given this cold shoulder treatment.

Right as he was relishing in the awkward atmosphere, a sharp voice pierced their ears. Lord Zhen's enforcer, Bai Nuo, spoke up, "No problem. With an extra business route, the Lawless Lands will receive much more resources. Why not?"

Ji Ming's expression changed instantly as rage burned in his mind. He didn't think that Lord Zhen would recklessly accept the 7th Bugle Call's request without asking for the approval of all 13 Lords. What he was doing was clearly slapping Lord Gen in the face.

Chapter 1333: Taking Us Down a Notch

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Tian Fang felt the awkward atmosphere but he instantly smiled when he heard a response, "Thank you for your support, Enforcer Bai. It's a rare moment for all of us to be here together. I am very happy at everyone's arrival. Please, everyone sit down and discuss our future plans." Tian Fang gestured to everyone to sit and talk.

Everyone sat down on the nearest seats beside them. Before Tian Fang could open his mouth again, Ji Ming angrily spoke up, "Captain James, your men killed all of our innocent subordinates who passed by this area yesterday night. We came here today to ask you how you plan on rectifying this issue. Is the Rainbow Raiders inciting a war with the 13 Lords of the Lawless Lands?"

1Just one sentence from Ji Ming turned this entire banquet into a public hearing. It was clear that he planned on taking the newcomers down a notch, showing the Rainbow Raiders who was the boss here.

The representatives of the other lords all watched calmly after hearing those words. Some even half-smiled at Tian Fang. Even Bai Nuo, who was being kind at the beginning, only focused his attention elsewhere and pretended to not know what was happening.

The smile on Tian Fang's face slowly vanished. He looked at Ji Ming with a sharp glare and said in an unchanging tone, "Yesterday, we cleaned up a group of no-good thieves who tried to rob us of our supplies. So they were your men?"

This insult disguised as a question made Ji Ming's face red hot with anger. Ji Ming's anger instantly rose even more when he saw Bai Nuo looking at him with a clear look of mockery.

Yu Shangfei, who sat beside Ji Ming, held down Ji Ming's body that was about to jump out from his seat and smiled lightly towards Tian Fang. "We heard Luo Tianhua had taken some forbidden medicine and went rogue in the middle of the night."

Tian Fang raised his eyebrows. "So?"

"Our men were unlucky to have encountered him when he lost control…" Yu Shangfei smiled as he looked towards Luo Lang, who was leaning on the wall behind Tian Fang. "In the Lawless Lands, dangerous individuals who cannot control themselves need to be eradicated even if he is a titled domain realm master."

All of that Yu Shangfei had just said was fake. However, did that even matter? In the Lawless Lands, if the 13 Lords wanted to erase someone, they just needed to brand them with a crime. No one would dare object if they valued their lives.

Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei's goal was quite clear. It was to completely erase this monstrous individual who could grow to become their strongest opponent in the future.

"Heh, how come I don't know Luo Tianhua has this problem?" Tian Fang smiled coldly. "Do you think we're children? Trying to fool us with those words."

Ji Ming then said, "In the Lawless Lands, other than the 13 Lords, no one has the power to refuse anything."

Tian Fang forcefully slapped the armrest of his chair and stood up. A gleam flashed between his eyes. "Are you showing us up?"

Ji Ming looked up and said proudly, "You can assume so."

Tian Fang slowly leaned back onto his chair with a cold expression on his face. The entire deck's atmosphere became oddly heavy. Everyone was just watching Ji Ming and Tian Fang's battle of words. If the Rainbow Raiders couldn't bring out strength that would satisfy them, these people would just lean back and watch Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei teach Tian Fang's group a lesson in blood.

As for the Rainbow Raiders, they were indeed one of the three largest factions in the mercenary world. Their regiment commander was also one of the three kings who could rock the entire mercenary world just by stomping his feet. However, they were only part of the mercenary underworld, so no matter how strong he was, he couldn't affect the Lawless Lands. Additionally, if the Rainbow Raiders were to come and seek justice, Lord Gen would come out and deal with it. They wouldn't be blamed for anything, so they didn't feel any responsibility to help them so they were just watching it unfold.

Tian Fang slammed on his armrest again, "That's fine. Let me see just how strong the people working under the 13 Lords are. After all, we don't want to do business with a bunch of weaklings."

Tian Fang's answer wasn't anything that Ji Ming and the others hadn't predicted. In reality, the goal of the series of words and conversations they went through was to make the opposition challenge them to the battle.

"A battle of domains is difficult to control, so everyone will be responsible for their own lives," Ji Ming coldly stated.

A gleam in Tian Fang's eyes turned colder. He slowly said, "Guardian Ji, I hope you won't regret what you said."

Ji Ming smiled coldly. "I have never regretted anything in my life. I also hope you won't regret anything, Captain James."

The two of them stared into each other's eyes for a few seconds with killing intent in their eyes. Tian Fang then suddenly smiled. "Then, let us see who will be regretting their words. Go ahead. Tell me how do you want to fight?"

Ji Ming looked at Tian Fang and then snorted coldly as he continued, "Although this is the Lawless Lands, we won't bully you with numbers. We will fight fair and square. Zuo Ming!"

"Here!" A young man in his early 20s, who came with Ji Ming earlier, walked into the spotlight.

"He will fight with your 5th Team Leader," said Ji Ming.

Tian Fang looked at Zuo Ming curiously. He didn't know where Zuo Ming came from. Lord Gen actually placed such a large amount of hope onto him to fight with 5th Team Leader, Major General Luo Lang, who had already shown that he was a titled domain realm master.

(Oh yes, I forgot to mention. Although Luo Lang is deemed as MIA after the battle at the Twilight Empire, the merits he earned in that battle were still not forgotten. It was also because of Luo Lang's disappearance that made the military headquarters give him the rank of major general to comfort the Luo family, and thus the Lingtian Independent Army has another major general in its ranks.)

"Are you not going to introduce him? Our 5th Team Leader isn't someone that is willing to fight a random nobody." Tian Fang was very cautious so didn't let Luo Lang fight right away. Instead, he wanted to know more about Zuo Ming.

"What's wrong? Scared?" Ji Ming wouldn't satisfy Tian Fang's request. He loved seeing his opponent's suspecting and second-guessing expressions. It made him feel like he succeeded.

Tian Fang wanted to say something else, but Luo Lang stood up straight and said coldly, "Forget it, I don't need to know a dead man."

Luo Lang's words caused Zuo Ming's eyes to burn up with anger while also freezing Ji Ming's joyful expression in place.

Luo Lang slowly walked out. Zuo Ming looked towards Ji Ming and then walked into the middle as well.

Without being given any reminders, those who were spectating on the sides, scooched backwards with their chairs. In the blink of an eye, an empty area with a diameter of 100 meters was cleared out.

Luo Lang raised his head and looked towards his opponent. At that moment, Luo Lang's eyes became oddly calm. His calm personality had already taken over of him.

The calm personality frowned slightly. From one look, Zuo Ming actually gave off a very faint presence. It was as though Zuo Ming was not standing before him.

Right at that moment, his opponent suddenly exploded upwards.

Many of those watching from the side instantly cheer in shock.

Luo Lang somersaulted and backed up by more than 10 meters, evading everything Zuo Ming flung towards him.

"Ah! What is that?!"

Chapter 1334: My Condition.

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Luo Lang landed on the ground firmly. He frowned and his squinted eyes couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes.

The spot where he was originally standing, as well as the spot where Zuo Ming was standing on, was now densely covered with countless squirming black beetles. The beetles all squirming against each other created a revolting sight to the eyes of anyone with trypophobia.

3"It's insects." Seeing the sight, Bai Nuo frowned as he took a sip of his wine. The scene in front of him reminded him of Lord Gen and his ability to control the five poisons of the world. Just thinking about it, he could already feel his hairs standing on end.

'No wonder Ji Ming dares to send him out. There's a high possibility Zuo Ming is the legendary beloved disciple of Lord Gen,' the representative of Lord Holy, Angel Zhi, thought as he raised his eyebrows in mild surprise.

"Is he finally revealing his disciple?" The other two representatives' eyes lit up when they saw the mass amount of beetles. Every lord had secret disciples whom they groomed carefully and diligently. Rumours about them spreaded across the Lawless Lands, but none had ever seen these disciples before. Normally, they would have to wait for a few more years before the new wave of disciples would surface from the shadow of their masters, but the appearance of the Rainbow Raiders caused Lord Gen to reveal his disciple earlier than normal. This was good news to them.

Luo Lang flicked his right wrist and a long knife that looked Tangdao appeared from thin air.

"Can you deduce his domain concept?" Ji Ming asked Yu Shangfei quietly.

1"He's able to make knives appear from thin air so he might have a metal element concept." Yu Shangfei frowned as he racked his brain for some logical explanations. "You also said he could create metal chains out of thin air. That could be done if he had a metal element domain concept."

"But his speed is problematic." Yu Shangfei seemed uncertain.

In the arena, the overwhelming number of black beetles suddenly swarmed towards Luo Lang in a giant wave. Even if the scene was revolting to him, Luo Lang wasn't flustered in the slightest. In response, he waved his knife while flickering in and out of everyone's vision. None of the bugs could even touch the edges of his clothes

"His speed has exceeded the speed capable by a domain realm master. He might have a speed domain concept," Ji Ming said grimly.

"Double domain concept. Who knew we would see one here. Out of the 13 Lords, only Lord Qian managed to control two domain concepts. However, Lord Qian's second concept is derived from his first domain concept. It is a domain concept that complemented his first domain concept. It is not an entirely unique concept like what Luo Tianhua has." Yu Shangfei was confused by what he saw.

"Let's continue watching. We'll get an answer soon," Ji Ming said coldly.

Even if Luo Lang exceeded the speed domain realm master could theoretically achieve, he was still only passively dodging and not attacking. Out of all these beetles, there was only one life bug. No matter how many of the other beetles he killed, it was useless unless he killed the life bug as it could just reproduce more beetles than he could kill, and once his domain energy got depleted after slashing waves and waves of them, he would become a feast for these beetles.

Lord Gen had a strong and oppressive personality but the other 12 lords put up with him because he had the ability to control the five poisons in the world. If they couldn't find the life bug of Lord Gen, they wouldn't be able to do anything to Lord Gen. Moreover, no one knew how many life bugs Lord Gen had, so realistically, he was semi-immortal. Thus, the other lords had to put up with his irritating attitude as they were too lazy to use all their manpower to maybe have a chance to end him.

"We can't carry on like this." The calm personality realized this problem after realizing he would never win being this passive.

"We need something else." They were able to evade the beetles with their high speed but ultimately, they were forced into this passive position. Moreover, signs of corrosion began to show on the knife. All in all, there was a time limit to the amount of time they could dodge passively like this.

"Lightning and fire would be the best to roast these bugs alive, but how unfortunate!" Luo Lang was able to interchange with his other personalities freely but the abilities he could use were restricted by his innate element. His innate talent was the metal element, with the water and earth element complimenting it. There was a lack of lightning and fire element. Thus, no matter how he combined his personalities, he wouldn't be able to use lightning and fire elements.

2"Damn it, why don't I have Boss's ice element. If I just have it, I can use Ice Blockade and freeze all these beetles," the primary personality, Luo Lang, grumbled in frustration.

"Even if you have it, you won't even be able to use it," the calm personality replied indifferently.

There were many elements found in Luo Lang's body, and thus the concentration of any particular element wasn't as pure as someone who had only one element, making the complementary domain energy he could supply to his domain concept lower than those with only one element. So, even if he had the ice element, he wouldn't be able to use Ling Lan's ultimate move, Ice Blockade. He would at most be able to materialize an ice sword for fun. In actual fact, creating the spider web made from metal chains yesterday night was already the limit for his metal element domain energy. He wouldn't be able to do anything more powerful.

"Little Leng, you're so heartless. Can't you let me fantasize?" Luo Lang asked in frustration.

"If you continue fantasizing, I'll be rude to Ling Lan in front of him," the calm personality threatened. The slow Luo Lang usually didn't have any sense of urgency but when he heard the threat, he could almost feel Boss Ling Lan's cold stare piercing through his back mercilessly.

"Oh my god! Hurry up and choose someone! I still want to live." The primary personality felt a chill down his spine as he shuddered.

"Argh! I don't care anymore. I'll choose you." The calm personality gritted his teeth and pulled out someone he never wanted to see.

"Hahaha… are you finally begging me?" The evil personality smiled mysteriously at the calm personality.

"Stop your bullshit." The calm personality rarely looked so furious.

"Don't forget my condition." The evil personality suddenly leaned closely towards the calm personality until he was just a hair away from his face then he blew right into his ears.

1"Get off!" The calm personality shouted loudly while he pushed the evil personality away. The primary personality, Luo Lang, was stunned. What was happening?

"Hurry up and come over." The calm personality quickly hugged the primary personality. 'F**k, why are all of them so hard to deal with. I have such a difficult time controlling all these irritating personalities.'

For the first time, the calm personality felt that his life was miserable. If he had a choice, he wanted to push his responsibilities away.

"Okay." The primary personality listened to the calm personality obediently. Looking at the obedient primary personality, the calm personality felt that without him, this stupid fellow would be devoured by all the other personalities.

During that instant when they merged, the calm personality and the primary personality, who were hugging each other, didn't notice that the dark aura around the evil personality had gotten thicker.

In the arena, Luo Lang suddenly stopped moving.

The numerous beetles took the opportunity and pounced on him without any hesitation. Just as Luo Lang was about to be engulfed by the beetles, a frightening aura started to spread throughout the deck.

"What's going on?" Everyone felt an unprecedented chill on their spines.

Ling Lan, who was hiding among the crowd and watching the fight, suddenly became serious.

"What is this?" Li Lanfeng stared at the fighting scene in shock. His domain energy activated automatically due to this aura.

Ling Lan pressed Li Lanfeng's shoulder and a warm stream energy flowed into his body. The restless domain energy quietened down instantly. It stopped fidgeting.

Chapter 1335: Homicidal Maniac!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Boom!

All the black beetles were suddenly blown away before imploding in the air. Their blood and body parts splattered all over the deck, staining the deck black with a hint of red tint.

Luo Lang, who hadn't moved for a while, raised his head slowly. The corners of his lips slowly lifted before fully unfolding into a seductive smile. With that tempting smile, he exuded the charm of a seductress, but everyone who saw the smile felt their sphincter loosening.

'A vicious beauty,' everyone thought internally.

What made everyone almost commit a very embarrassing act was the dangerous aura Luo Lang was exuding. They could imagine that if they got nearer to Luo Lang, they would be devoured by the aura, eternally trapped in that depressing aura.

"This is very fun." Luo Lang lifted his fair and small hand and opened his palm, revealing a black beetle that was trying furiously to run away from his palm. However, just as it was on the edge of his palm, it twitched and stopped moving.

Liquid started to flow out of the black beetle's body. It was the poisonous venom of the beetle. It was supposed to be a devastating biochemical weapon. Yet now, the venom didn't have any effects on the fair hand. But, some of the spectators could see that there was actually a layer of energy protecting and segregating the beetle and the venom from the hand.

"However, it's too irritating. I don't like it," Luo Lang said seriously. Then, he clenched his fist, crushing the black beetle into tiny bits. Then, he flicked his finger, throwing the bug away.

"So, I also don't like who created this." The Tangdao in Luo Lang's hand, which had many holes in it because of the corrosive venom, suddenly exploded into mist and disappeared.

Everyone thought that Luo Lang was going to form a new weapon, but the mist didn't form into a new weapon nor did it dissipate. Instead, it started to grow thicker as it spreaded throughout the deck.

The charging black beetles suddenly seemed frightened and agitated when the mist approached them. Their orderly formation broke, and they started moving about messily. They started retreating in a large tide, stepping all over each other just to get away at the fastest speed possible.

"What is happening?" Ji Ming, who was feeling confident, suddenly leaped up from his seat. This was the first time he saw the black beetles ignoring the command of the life bug. Was the mist such a lethal threat to the bugs? Was that why they went out of control?

The ongoing spectators had a similar thought too. Suddenly, someone from the crowd, who was either very bold or very dumb, walked to the edge of the mist and touched it with his finger in an attempt to deduce the reason why the bugs were so deathly afraid of it.

3In the next second, the very idiotic person screamed in pain, "Help!"

Following his scream, his finger started turning gooey. Slowly, his arm basically melted away like ice under the hot sun. His face was filled with despair. He realised that he couldn't stop this frightening energy that was literally melting him. If no one could save him within a few seconds, he would end up as a puddle of blood and water.

Shing! A black light flashed past everyone's eyes. And after they recovered their vision, they saw the melting arm getting chopped off. But, before the arm could fall to the ground, it completely melted into a mixture of blood and water.

The person clutched his now empty shoulder. His face turned pale from the excruciating pain as he retreated two steps back weakly. His friends quickly came to hold him and carried him back for treatment. The leader of them looked at someone gratefully. He cupped his hands together and said, "Thank you, Midnight Rider."

Midnight Rider, who was sitting at the side, returned his sword back to it sheath slowly. Then, he replied in an even tone, "You're welcome."

Midnight Rider's decisive act saved the life of the dumb man. However, the man's tragic condition scared everyone. They didn't expect the Rainbow Raiders to send such a vicious man here. The mist was obviously poisonous. It was the kind of poison that was incurable the moment you touched it. Compared to the mist, Zuo Ming's black beetles seemed almost friendly.

1Ji Ming's expression was gloomy. By now, he had already realised that Zuo Ming was the one in danger, not Luo Tianhua. Yet, he already said that they would be responsible for their own deaths at the start of this fight. If Zuo Ming really died, their master would skin them alive.

What made them the most miserable was the fact that they still didn't know what Luo Tianhua's domain concept was. At first, they thought that he had the metal element domain concept. Now, they felt that it was a special domain concept. There were no other ways of explaining why his single-target technique, the sword, became a territorial technique, the mist.

"Is this a new combination? Impressive. I've never seen it before," Li Lanfeng complimented.

On the other hand, Ling Lan's expression remained serious. She stared at Luo Lang's eyes intently. She had already noticed that this combination was different from other combinations. She realized this time, the person in control wasn't the calm personality whom she trusted. It was a personality that never appeared before. Ling Lan's Profound Insight told her that this wasn't a good sign.

Luo Lang looked at the Midnight Rider slowly and smiled. The killing intent in his eyes was obvious. "You're a busybody."

The moment he stopped talking, the thick mist formed into a line and shot towards the Midnight Rider.

The Midnight Rider frowned at the incoming mist. He slashed his sword instantly and a black sword aura shot out of the black blade, colliding with the line of mist.

Bang!

The entire deck started vibrating. No matter how sturdy or strong a ship was, it couldn't withstand the battle of two domain realm masters so it started audibly cracking.

Ling Lan stomped her feet and energy flowed from her legs into the ground. It counteracted the shock caused by the collision of the two energies, and the 7th Bugle Call became stable again.

1"Your opponent isn't me." The Midnight Rider glared at Luo Lang coldly before putting his sword back in its sheath.

"Okay. I'll take care of this annoying bug before playing with you.�� Luo Lang gave a devilish smile. This was a rare opportunity for him. He finally managed to come out, and moreover, he was lucky enough to meet such interesting opponents. He couldn't control his restless heart. He really wanted to kill everyone here and turn this place into a sea of blood.

"What a strong killing intent." Everyone felt Luo Lang's killing intent. Was this the bright and beautiful young man just now? He was like a homicidal maniac now.

They couldn't help but look at Tian Fang. Tian Fang was still smiling and his expression was calm. No one knew that deep down inside, he was agitated too. He had never seen Major General Luo act like this before too.

But, when he remembered that there was still Ling Lan monitoring the scene, he felt more at ease. Tian Fang had only followed Ling Lan for a short time so he never experienced any dangerous situation with her before. Hence, it was normal for him to feel anxious since he didn't know how powerful she was. But, as an experienced soldier, he wouldn't let his opponents see his real thoughts until the last second.

Chapter 1336: Lord Gen!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Luo Lang looked at the black beetles that were running away in a flurry and smiled gently. He didn't care which one was Zuo Ming's life bug. All he needed to do was to kill all these black beetles.

He stretched his hand and the mist around him immediately flew towards the black beetles. The black beetles started escaping frantically. Their primal instinct told them that the mist would kill them in an instant.

The entire situation took a turn. At first, Luo Lang was the one being chased by the black beetles. Now, the black beetles were the ones running away.

"What is this poisonous mist made up of?" Angel Zhi, who was sitting beside Midnight Rider, asked. Among all of them, only the Midnight Rider had exchanged blows with Luo Tianhua, which meant that he was the only one who could provide some explanation.

Midnight Rider glanced at him before pulling a small section of his sword out of its sheath, revealing the black blade.

Angel Zhi's expression changed when he saw the holes in Midnight Rider's sword. It was corroded and the corrosion was still continuing. It hadn't stopped.

But, the Midnight Rider's sword never came into contact with the mist directly. He just used sword aura to clash with the mist, not the main body of the sword. If so, why was the sword corroding?

"It's water molecules," Midnight Rider explained. As someone who exchanged blows with Luo Lang before, he knew where the corrosion came from.

"So his domain concept is the water element?" The water element domain concept was indeed able to create poisonous liquid. This would explain the mist. Did this mean that Luo Tianhua had two domain concepts that could interchange freely?

"No. Poisonous liquid alone is not enough to corrode my sword. My master, Lord Yu, strengthened this sword with his domain concept." Midnight Rider shook his head.

"What else is there?" Angel Zhi asked.

"I don't know. I'll have to report to Lord Yu and hope that he'll have an answer." A thought went through Midnight Rider's mind as he replied.

Angel Zhi stopped probing Midnight Rider when he heard this as he was prepared to ask his Lord Holy about this matter too.

Zuo Ming's technique, Insect Creation, was indeed very powerful. When a huge number of them were created, they were an invincible presence. But, when they met their rival, for instance, Luo Lang's poisonous mist, the insects could do nothing but run away.

The black beetles ran away quickly but they couldn't escape the inevitable poisonous mist that was spreading everywhere. When a black beetle came into contact with mist, it turned into a puddle of blood. As time went by, the number of black beetles got lesser and lesser. Just as they were about to be annihilated by Luo Lang, Ji Ming, who couldn't remain calm anymore, raised his hands and shouted, "Stop! We admit defeat."

Although it might be embarrassing and although he might get punished severely by his master for endangering his beloved disciple, he mustn't let anything happen to Zuo Ming.

Luo Lang only gave an evil smile as a response. He continued controlling the mist with his hands towards the direction of the last batch of beetles. Once these beetles were dead, Zuo Ming would be dead too.

Although the evil personality took control of Luo Lang's main body halfway through the fight, he felt Zuo Ming's desire to kill him the moment he took over. As someone who loved killing, how could he forgive an enemy that wanted to murder him? To the evil personality, killing one person wasn't enough. He must kill them all.

He wouldn't let anyone go, including these people who were here to watch a good show and wanted him dead.

The devil blood aura in his eyes seeped out, along with a malicious smile. This was the real him. Since the calm personality released him, he must kill as many people as he could. He needed to answer to the boring years of being locked in a little black room.

As the black mist got nearer, the black beetles suddenly disappeared and a figure in their place. It was Zuo Ming. Fear was written all over his face. He quickly rushed towards Ji Ming in hopes that Ji Ming would be able to help him.

"Too late!" Luo Lang flicked his finger and two balls of mist flew towards Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei with the rest rushing towards Zuo Ming.

These two balls of mist were to prevent Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei from helping Zuo Ming. The evil personality truly wanted to kill Zuo Ming.

This was the person who teased him with his little bugs during the first half of the fight. In this world, no one dared to tease him like this. He must kill him!

Just as Zuo Ming was about to die under Luo Lang's mist, Luo Lang heard a huge roar. "How dare you!���

"Pfft~" Blood spurted out of Luo Lang's mouth. The sudden roar slowed down his mist.

A figure appeared in front of Zuo Ming. Zuo Ming was elated and surprised as he shouted, "Master!"

Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei turned serious. They quickly kneeled down. "Welcome, Lord Gen."

At the same time, everyone stood up from their seats and bowed. "Lord Gen!"

Lord Gen was a sinister-looking old man with graying temples. He wore a black gown and was staring coldly at Luo Lang who got injured due to his roar. He said calmly, "How dare you try to kill my disciple with your sub-par party tricks. Pay with your life!"

He waved his hand and a huge snake appeared out of the air. It opened its mouth and shot towards Luo Lang.

Luo Lang waved his hand to shift the mist in front of him. The snake didn't seem scared by the mist as it swallowed the mist, which scared the hell out of the black beetles. It even burped in satisfaction.

Luo Lang's expression changed. He didn't know that his invincible mist was useless in front of Lord Gen.

Lord Gen glanced at Luo Lang indifferently. The giant snake seemed to have received a command as it opened its maw to take a bite out of Luo Lang

Luo Lang retreated back quickly. However, he wasn't as fast as the giant snake. Just as he was about to get swallowed by the giant snake…

Bai Nuo wanted to move. However, he was advised to not interfere with the matter of the lords by his subordinates. If Lord Gen didn't appear, they might be able to help. However, now that he appeared… If they actually helped the young man, they would be being disrespectful. Only their Lord Zhen was able to stop Lord Gen.

Bai Nuo couldn't help but look at Tian Fang. The only person who could save this young man was his captain. Of course, the captain must have the ability to block Lord Gen's attack. If not, there would be two deaths, not one.

Bang!

Suddenly, the giant snake got pressed to the ground by a huge force, throwing the dust into the air.

Lord Gen looked up calmly in a certain direction.

The spectator in this direction suddenly felt an invisible force shifting them to the side. Finally, two young men in black trenchcoats appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

One of them looked very handsome but the oppressive aura around him made his looks forgettable. The force of presence of this young man couldn't be underestimated. The other was wearing a mask that covered half of his face. His gentle aura left a good impression with everyone. These two people had two entirely different styles but they seemed very compatible.

Chapter 1337: Who Are You?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

While everyone was guessing who these two people were, Tian Fang and Luo Yang stood up and bowed respectfully. "Boss!"

Everyone was stunned. They thought that the person-in-charge of the 7th Bugle Call was the middle-aged captain but instead, it was an extremely young youth.

The young man with a domineering aura took a step forward first and walked over. The young man wearing the mask walked behind him. Everyone immediately understood who the 'boss' was.

Ling Lan stopped around five metres in front of Lord Gen. She cupped her hands and said, "I've heard many things about you, Lord Gen."

Lord Gen arrogantly scanned Ling Lan from head to toe indifferently before asking coldly, "Who are you?"

As one of the 13 Lords of the Lawless Lands, he didn't think much of these younger generations.

"I'm the head of this ship. I hope that Lord Gen can give me some face." Ling Lan didn't mind Lord Gen's attitude. She just put down her hand and spoke calmly.

"If White Monarch comes personally, I might give him some face. You however, you don't have the right." Lord Gen flicked his coat and sat on the chair Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei brought over.

Ling Lan glanced at Li Lanfeng. Seeing the glance sent by Ling Lan, Li Lanfeng rushed out and picked up Luo Lang, who was vomiting blood on the ground. He prepared to bring him back for treatment.

Lord Gen glared at them when he saw them disregarding his presence. He scoffed. "Who allowed you to take him away?"

The space around Li Lanfeng suddenly became distorted. However, in the next second, it went back to normal. He didn't seem to have heard what Lord Gen said as he continued pulling Luo Lang away. He calmly took one step at a time towards the exit.

"Impudent!" Lord Gen was infuriated when he saw his words being ignored. He waved his hand in Li Lanfeng's direction and a huge two-tailed scorpion appeared near Li Lanfeng. It struck its black and beautiful tails at Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang.

Seeing the scorpion, Ling Lan lifted her hand in the direction of the huge scorpion before tightly clenching her fist.

1The giant scorpion seemed to be crushed by a huge force. It started rolling on the ground in pain.

This move allowed Li Lanfeng to leave successfully with Luo Lang. Soon, they disappeared from everyone's vision.

"Lord Gen, you should let the younger generations deal with their own fights. It isn't right for people like us to step in." Ling Lan released her hand slowly and the giant scorpion fell down. Before it landed on the ground, it turned into black smoke and disappeared into thin air.

Ling Lan's sentence placed her on the same status as Lord Gen. The people around her gasped. Where did this arrogant young man come from? How dare he say that he was of the same status as Lord Gen? Even if the leader of the Rainbow Raiders, White Monarch, came, he would be polite to the 13 Lords. Even a mighty dragon won't attack a snake in its own territory.

Lord Gen squinted at Ling Lan's words. A dangerous expression appeared on his face, turning the atmosphere on the deck tense. Everyone felt a huge force of presence pressing down on them. Those that were less powerful couldn't withstand it and kneeled on the ground with a hideous expression on their faces. Some even vomited blood as they laid on the ground.

Lord Gen just released his domain concept and a portion of the spectators couldn't handle it already. Even the representatives of the other lords activated their domain to resist the force of presence.

"Lord Gen, there are normal people on my ship too." Ling Lan released her force of presence to block Lord Gen's aura.

Those people that were hurt by Lord Gen's force of presence suddenly felt the pressure on them being lifted. They immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Many of them looked at Ling Lan gratefully, including those who brought their families to watch this confrontation.

"It looks like the Rainbow Raiders have decided to go to war with us?" Lord Gen narrowed his eyes. Ling Lan's actions were challenging his authority. He didn't like the Rainbow Raiders from the start but now, he had the intention of eradicating them.

The killing intent was well-hidden but the powerful representatives of the other lords detected it immediately. Bai Nuo's face turned pale as he looked in a certain direction.

The other representatives complained silently too. They asked their men to move back so that there was more space for Lord Gen.

Once Lord Gen got angry, there would be blood. Every time he unleashed himself, not even bones would be left behind.

They needed to think how they should protect themselves from Lord Gen's rage. After all, those bugs would attack anyone in their way, and they didn't want to become food for the bugs.

"You're the one that decides if there'll be a war between us," Ling Lan replied calmly as she placed her hands behind her back.

She had already expected this inevitable fight between Lord Gen and her. If she wanted to have a spot in the Lawless Lands, she must let everyone know about her strength, and the best way to do this was to earn her name through a fight.

At first, she thought that this fight would come later. After all, the people who came were all representatives of the lords. Ling Lan just wanted to heighten the conflict between one faction and her team by attempting to kill some of their more important men. That way, the other party would be enraged and their lord would come to find her for revenge.

Surprisingly, things went very smoothly. One of their important disciples came to fight with them, forcing Lord Gen to appear.

This was a chance given by heaven. Why would Ling Lan let go of this opportunity? She decisively revealed her arrogance which successfully offended Lord Gen. Logically, a fight would ensued.

"Haha… good, good. They who know nothing fear nothing. Let me teach you a lesson on behalf of White Monarch." Lord Gen opened his arms as he laughed coldly. An endless amount of poisonous bugs began to fall down from his body. There was no end to it.

2"It's here!" The other representatives felt their hearts dropping. They had seen how Lord Gen fought before, and it was frightening. Everywhere they looked, there were poisonous bugs. They were like locusts flying through a farm. Nothing could survive their ravage feasting.

Everyone frantically began to squeeze themselves in the corners. Those who were stronger all their domain to protect their subordinates. They could only hope that Lord Gen wouldn't lose his mind and implicate innocent bystanders like them.

Most of the people in charge started regretting coming to the deck. If they knew that Lord Gen would appear and be provoked, they would never have came.

"I'm not sure how to answer to Lord Zhen," Bai Nuo mumbled.

"It can't be helped. The young man is powerful but too arrogant. He doesn't know his position. This is the Lawless Lands. This is a place where the 13 Lords can kill anyone they want. No one can save him. Even if he dies, he deserves it." The assistant beside him gritted his teeth. This stupid brat was the one who placed their lives at risk. What an irritating fellow. Even if he didn't die, he would suggest to Lord Zhen that they mustn't work with the reckless Rainbow Raiders.

Chapter 1338: Space Concept.

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Just as everyone thought the 7th Bugle Call would turn into a ghost ship, an anomaly happened that blew everyone's mind.

What they saw was a huge swirling black hole appearing behind Ling Lan's back. The black hole could be seen getting bigger and bigger. As it became bigger, a strong suction force began to come out of the black hole. In the end, the entire space behind Ling Lan warped into the shape of a funnel.

"What's that?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Bai Nuo was closest to Ling Lan so he had a clear look of how strong the suction force was. If his domain concept didn't cement him to the ground, he suspected that he might be sucked into that hole.

Angel Zhi looked at the weird scene behind Ling Lan intently. His golden eyes started shining. He seemed to be looking at something.

After trying to inspect the black hole, his expression turned twisted as he shut his eyes in pain. A drop of blood began to flow down from the corners of his eyes.

Midnight Rider, who was standing beside him, asked in surprise, "What happened to you?"

"I wanted to see what his domain concept is but I failed. Not only that, I even received a backlash." Angel Zhi smiled bitterly as he used his domain concept to heal the broken capillaries in his eyes.

After healing it, he opened his eyelids slowly, revealing the now dull golden eyes. It looked like this backlash wasn't as simple as he said.

"Are you alright now?" The Midnight Rider asked in concern.

"I'm fine. It's just a small injury." Angel Zhi wouldn't answer him honestly. His relationship with Midnight Rider might seem good on the surface but no one knew if they would draw their sword against each other the next second. They might be friends today and enemies tomorrow. Thus, Angel Zhi was used to being vigilant.

1"We can confirm that the man isn't simple. He has the right to be arrogant," Angel Zhi continued.

The strange domain concept was enough to earn him a position in the Lawless Lands.

"It feels like the space domain concept." On the other side, Bai Nuo made his prediction out loud.

"That's impossible. Besides that person from the central region, I've never heard of another person having the space domain concept." Someone beside him refuted instantly. He didn't believe that this irritating fellow was such a powerful person.

"Not hearing it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. If White Monarch dared to assign him here, he must have some outstanding ability." Bai Nuo felt that his analysis was right. Without this heaven-defying domain concept, he wouldn't have the guts to fight with Lord Gen.

Everyone in the Lawless Lands knew that all the 13 Lords were very close to reaching the imperial realm. No, they might already be an imperial realm formidable warrior. They just didn't want to be noticed by the various nations so they didn't reveal their true might.

1As an imperial realm formidable warrior, White Monarch definitely knew this too. Hence, he wouldn't send this young man if he wasn't capable enough to fight on-par with the 13 Lords. Well, unless he wanted to kill this young man using someone else's hands. But, from the looks of it, it didn't seem like the case.

White Monarch was someone with a high status in the mercenary world. Was there a need for him to send him here to get killed? The answer was obvious. This young man was a truly powerful person. He wasn't an ignorant young man who came to seek death in the Lawless Lands.

Lord Gen frowned slightly when he saw this swirling black hole. He commanded his poisonous bugs to get close to Ling Lan to deduce what her domain concept was. When they reached around three metres away from Ling Lan, his poisonous bugs got sucked into the hole behind her.

"Space domain concept." Compared to the uncertain crowd, Lord Gen immediately knew what Ling Lan's domain concept was.

It was actually this troublesome domain concept!

Lord Gen complained secretly about his bad luck. He wasn't able to deal with this legendary heaven-defying domain concept within a short period of time unless he revealed his ultimate trump card. Otherwise, he would be helpless here.

Lord Gen was a decisive person. When he realized that he couldn't kill Ling Lan, he clenched his fist and the poisonous bugs obediently climbed back into his body. In a blink of an eye, the insects had all disappeared from the deck. It seemed as though they never appeared before.

"Hahaha, what a promising youth." A bright and clear voice was heard.

Bai Nuo's eyes lit up. He retracted his domain concept and kneeled down respectfully. "Lord Zhen."

"Lord Zhen." Everyone except Lord Gen and Ling Lan kneeled down to welcome Lord Zhen too.

A middle-aged man with long silver hair in a purple gown appeared in front of everyone. The smile on his face lightened the tense atmosphere.

Lord Gen sneered when he saw Lord Zhen. He flicked his coat unhappily and said, "What is a lazy bum like you doing here?"

"If you took the effort to come here, then I should be here too, right?" Lord Gen's bad attitude didn't affect Lord Zhen's mood. He continued smiling as he talked.

Lord Zhen turned to look at Ling Lan. He said gently, "Are you the person sent by Brother White Monarch? What a promising youth. It looks like White Monarch groomed an amazing disciple."

'Lord Zhen!' a thought flashed through Ling Lan's mind and the black hole behind her disappeared instantly as she kneeled down on one knee and cupped her hands together. Her attitude was vastly different from when she was greeting Lord Gen. Her posture was that of a junior greeting his elder.

This difference in treatment made Lord Gen even more furious. However, he couldn't do anything to Ling Lan as Ling Lan's space domain concept was hard to deal with, and with Lord Zhen here too, he was even more helpless. Lord Zhen was treating Ling Lan as his junior so he had to give Lord Zhen some face.

The feeling of not being able to kill the person he wanted made him frustrated. He turned and glared at Ji Ming before shouting, "What a bunch of trash! Hurry up and go back, you disgrace!"

Ji Ming was quite a famous old man in the world of the Lawless Lands. So, when he heard his lord scolding him in public, his face turned red from embarrassment. However, he didn't dare to show any signs of anger so he just put down his head and agreed obediently. Soon, he brought everyone from Lord Gen's faction, including Zuo Ming, out of this place.

"You're lucky this time. Don't let me see you again." After giving the warning, Lord Gen left without a trace.

Lord Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Ignore him, Lord Gen's personality is just that irritating. Fortunately, intent to kill you was not set in stone. If not, it will be hard to clear up the situation because of your brash attitude just now."

"Lan Xiao acted rashly this time," Ling Lan lowered her head and accepted the scolding.

"So you're from the Blue lineage…" Lord Zhen was enlightened. "But, Queen Blue has always been calm and thorough… ah, forget it. Things already happened. There's no use talking about it now. But, you must be careful in the future. Don't visit Lord Gen's territory. He's a narrow-minded person."

'Blue lineage? Queen Blue?' Ling Lan felt that she had accidentally struck the jackpot. She just wanted to use her mother's surname and her father's name as a last remembrance of them. This was an unexpected surprise.

After reminding Ling Lan out of goodwill, Lord Zhen turned and told the leaders of the other factions, "This is my brother, White Monarch's beloved disciple, Lan Xiao. Please take care of him in the future."

"Don't worry, Lord Zhen."

"We will, we will."

"We welcome Brother Lan Xiao anytime."

Everyone made their promise to Lord Zhen. Since Lord Zhen had already spoken, everyone was willing to give him some face.

Chapter 1339: It's Fine?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After the guests and hosts had their fill of excitement, Lord Zhen took his men and left. When everyone left the 7th Bugle Call, the smile Ling Lan originally had on her face, instantly vanished.

"Boss, is something wrong?" Tian Fang, who was originally happy that they had successfully gotten into the Lawless Lands, felt his heart sink so he immediately asked Ling Lan.

"You think Lord Zhen is actually going to help us?" Ling Lan half-smiled.

"You're saying they have other plans?" After all, Tian Fang was someone who had been in the mercenary world for many years so he understood something was off instantly when he heard Ling Lan's insinuating words.

"In the Lawless Lands, the 13 Lords have always deemed this place as their territory. How could they just kindly let a new faction join their ranks? Especially when that faction clearly has the muscle to keep themselves there." Ling Lan slowly closed her eyes. The battle had only just begun. Not only did they have to face the pressure given to them by the 13 Lords, they also have to be careful of plots against them. It was going to be more difficult than being in the Federation's military.

However, what did that matter? Ling Lan quickly opened her eyes and a sharp gleam flashed past her eyes. No matter how difficult the path ahead was going to be, she was still going to dominate this place and become the only king. Only then, would they be qualified to go against the Federation's military and take revenge for her father.

"I'll leave this place to you, " said Ling Lan.

"Boss, you're leaving?" Tian Fang asked in surprise.

"Our window of opportunity is closing. I need to make every second count." Ling Lan looked towards a distant land. Perhaps there was where her opportunity laid. However, it might also be her death…

"Little White!" Ling Lan called indifferently.

Suddenly, in the space behind her, a white little ball suddenly jumped out and into Ling Lan's arms.

Ling Lan caressed Little White's head and said softly, "I'll have to trouble you in a bit."

"RAWR (Don't worry master, I will definitely help you fight!)" Little White used his tentacles to bump into its chest as if it was signalling to Ling Lan to leave it all to it.

1"No matter what happens, try your best to keep them at bay until I return," Ling Lan left those words and then disappeared from sight.

Two people were already waiting for her in the plaza of the spaceport below the 7th Bugle Call.

Ling Lan looked at Luo Lang indifferently. "Are you good?"

Luo Lang kept his head down and replied softly, "I already took the second generation Nuwa agent. There aren't any big issues."

"I'm not asking about that. I'm asking whether you can suppress the issue with creating the poisonous mist." said Ling Lan plainly.

Luo Lang's issue with his new combination could fool others, but could not fool her.

Luo Lang had a struggling look on his face. "I-I will try my best."

"If you ever need help, just ask." Ling Lan looked directly at Luo Lang as if she was looking right through him. The penetrative look made Luo Lang put down his head involuntarily.

"Let's go!" Seeing Luo Lang's reluctance to tell her, Ling Lan looked away and said those words. Then, she disappeared from their sights.

Li Lanfeng smiled as he looked towards Luo Lang with a knowing look. "If you don't deal with it soon, it's going to bite you in the ass in the future…"

After saying that, he also disappeared.

Luo Lang's expression wavered for a moment before turning completely calm. Then, he followed in Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng's footsteps and disappeared too.

On the deck, Tian Fang looked at the place where Ling Lan had disappeared for a short while. Then, he suddenly smiled bitterly. "Luo Yang, I feel pretty useless."

"We can only sit and watch as the young men rush towards the front lines and fight for their lives. Us, on the other hand, just stay in the back and do nothing." Luo Yang sighed.

"I just feel that I've lived 50 some years for nothing…" Tian Fang turned around and walked towards the exit.

"Where are you going?" Luo Yang immediately followed him and asked loudly.

"The training room to train. I can't be left behind by too much. Otherwise, I won't be able to have the face to stand on the same floor as them," replied Tian Fang without even turning his head.

"You've already trained enough recently," Luo Yang said helplessly. Ever since they knew about Luo Lang and Li Lanfeng's strength, Tian Fang's training showed signs of being somewhat masochistic.

"That's not enough. I already asked Luo Lang. When Boss finished training them, they were all sprawling on the floor half-dead, requiring Boss to pull them back to their beds." When Tian Fang heard it in the past, he felt these children were masochists. Training shouldn't be done like that. Did they not understand what it meant by moderation? However, now, Tian Fang realized that only such brutal training could make them reach such heights. Only after training until they were half-dead would they be able to not lose against those heaven-defying individuals from the Lawless Lands.

He always dreamed of being a figure that could shake a city just by a step of his foot. In the past, he believed his training philosophy of training in moderation. However, now, he felt that he had wasted his youth doing nothing. He was also frustrated at himself for not knowing someone like Ling Lan sooner. If he had met Ling Lan earlier, perhaps he could have done more in his past. However, it wasn't too late to realize it. Boss just said that the battle had just begun. There were more brutal battles waiting for them ahead. So, he must quickly increase his strength until he was the one protecting, not the other way around.

Tian Fang just headed directly into the training room and tossed Luo Yang the responsibility of keeping the 7th Bugle Call running.

Luo Yang had no qualms about that as he understood Tian Fang's concerns. After all, Tian Fang was already a domain realm master, it was just that he wasn't a titled one yet. If he could somehow become a titled domain realm warrior, he would definitely be of use to Boss. Thus, he didn't say anything and took over all the responsibility required to be looked over on the 7th Bugle Call.

After returning to his own palace, before Lord Zhen could sit, a servant, who served him, came to greet him, "Lord Zhen, the other lords have been waiting for you on the line."

"Troublesome," Lord Zhen said helplessly. In the next second, he appeared behind the desk in his home office.

Lord Zhen sat down and pushed down on his table to turn on his optical supercomputer. A virtual screen appeared in front of him.

These technologies were quite commonly used to communicate in the center area of the Lawless Lands. However, only the higher-ups of the factions could have such things and they were very expensive.

Despite all the factions hating the fact that the nations closed themselves off from the Lawless Lands, these factions in the Lawless Lands still couldn't do anything about it. After all, the Lawless Lands didn't have the capability or resources to manufacturing such devices. If they wanted one, they could only get ripped off by those nations who put sky-high prices. They also had to split a portion of money to the mercenary world that helps in the procurement of these devices.

The 13 Lords and factions in the Lawless Lands had complicated feelings towards the mercenary world.

Although they were grateful for the mercenary world for creating a door to the outside world for them, at the same time, they also hate the mercenary world. That was because when the mercenary world helped them procure abundant and advanced supplies from the outside world, they were also sucking their wealth dry.

In reality, the relationship between the 13 Lords of the Lawless Lands and the three kings of the mercenary underworld, wasn't on good terms.

Soon, seven or eight silhouettes appeared on the screen in front of him. If anyone saw who was on the screen, they would definitely gasp in fear. It was because they were looking at the lords of the 13 Lords.

One elderly man with a head full of white hair and a long flowing beard was the first to speak. He asked, "Lord Zhen, what do you think about the person the Rainbow Raiders sent this time?" This was Lord Kun of the 13 Lords.

"His strength isn't bad. He has the space domain concept and can fight above his stage," Lord Zhen said in a serious tone. "But, he's too young and a bit hasty."

"Space domain concept is a little troublesome." A golden-haired middle-aged man frowned slightly. He was Lord Holy.

With their abundant strength, they knew what kind of monster the space domain concept was. Even they would have a headache if they met an opponent who had this domain concept. It wasn't because they couldn't defeat him. It was because if he wanted to escape, no one could keep him back.

It could be said that a space domain realm master couldn't be killed. If he was a lone traveler, they could attack him together. Even if they failed, it wouldn't be a huge matter. However, this young man was from the Rainbow Raiders. Once they failed, the Rainbow Raiders would use this chance to step into the Lawless Lands. The three kings of the mercenary world had been eyeing the Lawless Lands for a long time. They just needed a valid reason to settle in, and the 13 Lords didn't want to give them this opportunity.

"Where is Lord Gen?" Lord Kun looked around him and frowned.

"He was just humiliated so he might not be willing to interact with us," Lord Zhen replied dispassionately. There was a sneer on his face too.

Everyone knew that he was at odds with Lord Gen. Thus, he didn't hide his thoughts.

"Haha, I still want to ask him for his opinion. After all, he's the only one who fought with that space domain realm master. He might know more than us." A lady with heavy makeup covered her mouth and laughed sweetly.

"Lord Demon, I don't want to hear that disgusting laughter of yours or else my knife will go through your skull." A man with clown makeup suddenly revealed the dagger in his hand and looked savagely at the woman.

"You'll need to have the ability to do that first. Lord Card, I'll be waiting for you in bed." Lord Demon suddenly laid down sexily on her and looked at Lord Card with a seductive gaze.

Slam! Lord Card's image suddenly disappeared. After some time, Lord Demon's screen also went black too.

"They're fighting again." The person who spoke had huge eyebags and a grim face. He seemed as though he exerted himself too much. This was Lord Ghost.

"Don't mind them. How should we deal with the people from the Rainbow Raiders?" A handsome young man with long blue hair raised his eyebrows as he asked. He was Lord Kan. He looked young but he was around the same age as the other lords. He just had some secret techniques which allowed him to retain his youthful appearance.

"We have to deal with them sooner or later. However, we mustn't let the Rainbow Raiders discover what we are doing," Lord Holy said calmly. "The Lawless Lands isn't a place that the mercenary world can control."

"They will soon be trading with the other factions," Lord Zhen reminded them.

"It's time to use the secret factions that we have been nurturing," Lord Kun said.

"Understood," the other lords nodded and replied.

After this sentence, the virtual screen in front of Lord Zhen turned black again.

To the public, the 13 Lords acted on their own and would start a fight whenever they had a conflict. Today, you would fight him but tomorrow, he would fight with me. Some even became arch enemies and bit each other whenever they were unhappy. An instance of this was Lord Gen and Lord Zhen, and Lord Demon and Lord Card. But, in actual fact, this wasn't the case. The 13 Lords didn't hate each other like how everyone thought. No matter how much they didn't like each other, once they needed to discuss something, they would put down their grudges and sit down for a discussion.

The 13 Lords were able to command the Lawless Lands for more than 10 years because they worked together secretly to control this entire place, successfully preventing the appearance of the 14th lord and stabilizing their power and position.

1Lord Gen went back to his rainbow palace. The moment he sat down, he remembered the humiliation he received on the 7th Bugle Call. He instantly slapped the handle of the chair furiously.

Boom! The stone chair handle shattered into pieces. The two maids standing at the two sides shrunk back in fear. They didn't dare to say anything.

"I must kill that brat," Lord Gen said coldly. He had never suffered such humiliation in his entire life.

He could imagine that tomorrow, news about him not being able to handle Lan Xiao would spread throughout the entire Lawless Lands. That brat made his name known to everyone while throwing his name to the mud.

"Gather all the guardians that are left in the palace." Lord Gen was someone who sought revenge for the smallest grievance. So, how was he able to swallow this defeat? He immediately asked his men to gather the guardians and prepared to attack the 7th Bugle Call.

"Yes!" His personal assistance answered before hurrying out.

After some time, five men of different ages and different body shapes walked in. Ji Ming and Yu Shangfei were among them.

"Lord Gen." The five of them kneeled down respectfully and waited for their master's order.

"Choose the best elites from your team. You must kill everyone on the 7th Bugle Call within three days. Every single one of them," Lord Gen said coldly.

"Yes, Lord Gen." The five of them accepted the order. But, before they could get up, Lord Gen's gaze turned sharp. He looked behind them and shouted furiously, "Who's there?!"

The five of them turned around in fright. There was no one behind. Just as they were feeling lost, the space behind them became distorted and a line appeared in thin air.

The line got bigger slowly before separating into a large black hole. A pair of military boots stepped out from the hold. It made a clear tapping sound when it stepped on the pure white floor made from White Onyx.

The hole got bigger. Finally, the face of the owner of the boot was revealed. It was a very young, fair, and handsome face. At first glance, he seemed around 23 years old. However, when you looked at him again, he seemed to be only 17 years old. The childish look on his face had not disappeared completely. He was at the prime of his youth.

Tap! Another boot stepped out of the hole. The black cloak floated behind the person. His attire was simple but it couldn't hide his glory. One look and you would remember him for life.

"It's you, Lan Xiao!" Lord Gen stared at Ling Lan furiously. "Very good. There's a path to heaven but you choose to come to hell."

"From the moment we started fighting, there's no possibility of reconciling," Ling Lan replied calmly. "In that case, why not end it once and for all to prevent future trouble."

"Hahaha…" Lord Gen suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. "Lan Xiao, you're too arrogant. Do you really think that your space domain concept is invincible? However, I'm very satisfied with your arrogant behaviour."

Lord Gen grabbed the side of the armrest that hadn't been broken.

Crack! The armrest got crushed by his hand. "This place will be your grave."

2Following this sound, the five guardians shot up and pounced towards Ling Lan.

Suddenly, two figures appeared in their way. A black light was seen as well as numerous metal chains dancing in the air.

Cling! Clang! The five guardians were forced back.

"Your opponents are us. Don't disturb Boss." Li Lanfeng held his scythe in one hand and smiled as he spoke.
