Chapter 722 - 421: Western King... Injured! _2

"If you have something to say, just say it. Hesitating like this is really annoying."

Zhou glared at him, just like a woman dawdling around, just looking at him made him furious.

Being scolded, Hong Zhisha sighed deeply, then stopped hesitating, and spoke about the matter of the herb garden.

However, after listening, Zhou’s focus was not on the herb garden, but on ’Xiao Yu’.

"This kid’s ambition is not small, reaching the fifth layer of the Dao Realm and still not satisfied, wanting to go even further."

"Interesting, huh?"

He said with a smile, looking at Hong Zhisha.

"Sigh!"

"Since what happened to Brother Xiao Ming, the child’s whole heart is set on cultivation, not interested in anything else, only focused on healing Brother Xiao Ming’s injuries."

"Last time before leaving, he even insisted on knowing the news about the Heaven-Reaching Bamboo."

"He’s really had it rough."

Hong Zhisha was also pained, but... some things really couldn’t be told to him for the time being.

"It’s not really a bad thing."

To this, Zhou held a different view.

"If his heart is focused solely on cultivation, what’s the problem? As for Xiao Ming... that’s fate."

He now quite admired ’Xiao Yu’.

After all, this is a world where strength speaks, having a bigger fist is better than anything.

It is precisely because of his strength that Great Yu fears and does not dare to truly make a move against Hidden Kill.

The consequences are something Great Yu cannot afford.

To put it bluntly, without him, Great Yu would probably immediately besiege Hidden Kill without a hint of hesitation.

"This, the subordinates understand too, just afraid his state of mind will be affected, which will affect future cultivation."

Dao Realm’s fifth layer seems impressive, but it’s just stepping into the top threshold of the Eastern Continent.

He still has a long way to go.

If his state of mind is compromised, then the high layers of the Dao Realm would basically be out of his reach.

Just like himself, stuck at the Peak of Seventh Layer of Dao Realm, unable to make any progress.

The root cause is that Xiao Ming’s matter has been too much of a shock, affecting his state of mind.

"You, still have the nerve to say this."

"Specially sent Yuan Qing to persuade you, but look at you, still trapping yourself."

Zhou was somewhat disappointed in him.

So many years have passed.

It’s said that time will dilute everything, but this saying does not apply to Hong Zhisha, even sinking deeper instead.

"Let it go."

Zhou’s voice echoed in the hall, directly striking at Hong Zhisha’s heart.

Instantly... Hong Zhisha was drenched in sweat.

His eyes filled with bloodlust, killing intent erupted without reservation at this moment, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Calm!"

Zhou shouted, and at the same time, extended a finger to gently point at him.

Suddenly!

The invisible killing intent crumbled at this moment.

"Poof!"

Only to see Hong Zhisha spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Hoo——"

Hong Zhisha let out a long sigh, that mouthful of fresh blood was like a boulder pressing on his heart.

As it was spat out, it began to dissipate.

A hint of humanity appeared in his previously cold eyes at this moment.

"Thank you, sir."

Hong Zhisha nodded and saluted Zhou.

He felt the gloom pressing his heart vanished, feeling enlightened, and he became much more comfortable.

It had been a long time since he felt this way.

"Originally thought you’d be able to get through it on your own, but now it seems...."

Zhou shook his head, still, he underestimated the impact of that event on him.

This led him to use the Calm Heart Spell to help him out of the predicament.

But this is only temporary, ultimately whether he can come out of it depends on himself.

"I won’t let you down."

Hong Zhisha said in a deep voice.

He knew Zhou genuinely cared for him, and at the same time promised him, "Within three years, I will break through to the eighth layer."

"Hmm!"

Seeing him return to his former self, Zhou nodded with satisfaction.

Only then did he turn the conversation back to the herb garden.

"I knew about this herb garden long ago."

"But since there’s nothing good there, I couldn’t be bothered to take care of it."

Upon hearing this, a helpless smile appeared on Hong Zhisha’s face.

Even a Great Herb of a hundred thousand years is considered nothing in Zhou’s eyes, truly worthy of being the master.

"So... can we make a move?"

Hong Zhisha asked, as this was what concerned him the most.

"Of course you can! Just because I don’t care doesn’t mean Hidden Kill can’t take action. In the Eastern Continent, there are things Hidden Kill can’t do, but a mere herb garden doesn’t have that qualification."

Zhou said casually.

But within his words, there was a hint of dominance.

"But you alone are not enough, the West King has an avatar in the herb garden, probably with the strength of the early Peak of Eighth Layer of Dao Realm, if you take action, bring Yuan Qing... hmm, I’ll speak with Dark Night."

He felt relying on Yuan Qing alone was not enough, so he added Dark Night, the second strongest in Hidden Kill.

"Lord Dark Night has emerged from seclusion?"

Hong Zhisha was also shocked, knowing that after all, Dark Night had been in seclusion for nearly a thousand years.

"Hmm!"

"It’s also a coincidence, just emerged a few days ago."

"But the breakthrough failed."

Zhou also looked regretful.

Dark Night is the existence in Hidden Kill second only to him in Martial Dao talent, and this seclusion was to break through to the Peak of Eighth Layer of Dao Realm.

Before entering seclusion, he was full of confidence, thinking there was no problem.

But... alas, in the end, it didn’t work.

The high layers of Dao Realm, especially beyond the eighth layer, each realm is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

It not only requires Martial Dao talent but also luck.

This time his breakthrough failed, which made him very disappointed because he will eventually have to take the final step.

But that step is extremely perilous, if it fails, it could very likely result in death.

Therefore, he had always had very high hopes for Dark Night.

He even groomed him as the next leader of Hidden Kill, but now it seems... he’ll have to find someone else.
