Chapter 366 - Xu Jingming's Arrival (1)
Blood Rain World, Imperial City.
Xu Jingming wore a cyan robe and carried his spear holster on his back as he walked out of his residence.
I’ve been away for nearly a year. Xu Jingming walked through the familiar streets and could sense the change in the capital’s mood. Before I headed to the mysterious land, General Wang Jiuyan had just defeated the main force of the empire’s rebels in the west. The entire capital was cheering, and the commoners felt that they could lead a stable life. But now, the only stable eastern region has rebelled! The commoners see no hope.
Xu Jingming could sense the repressive mood in the capital.
People lived day by day.
It was even more chaotic outside the city, and they could only live an abject life in the city. They could only hope that the rebels would show mercy to commoners like them when they entered the capital in the future.
“Give me three meat buns and two pieces of cake.” Xu Jingming bought some food and ate as he walked.
“Captain,” a figure shouted from afar.
Xu Jingming looked up and saw Wang Yi with a bow and arrow on her back and a sword at her waist. Wang Yi’s appearance was almost identical to that of reality. After all, she was only an ordinary cosmic lifeform, so there was no need to hide her looks.
“Sister Yi.” Xu Jingming smiled and walked over. “How long have you been in Blood Rain World?”
“More than a month.” Wang Yi sighed. “I heard that the first few batches became Blood Rain Guards. They profited tremendously, but I didn’t get to taste any of it.”
Xu Jingming smiled.
Yes, the more chaotic the situation was, the less the Blood Rain Guard held back.
Xu Jingming and Wang Yi quickly arrived at a secluded alley.
“Have you contacted Old Master Fei?” Xu Jingming asked.
“Master Liu has sent Fang Yu to deliver the news,” Wang Yi replied. “Old Master Fei is very careful. He will arrange for someone to get you after we deliver the news.”
Xu Jingming nodded slightly.
“Why are you eating buns? We’ve prepared a banquet for you. Many old friends will be there,” Wang Yi said.
“I haven’t tried it in nearly a year. I wanted to eat some,” Xu Jingming answered with a smile. “These few buns and pastries are only appetizers.”
The two chatted and laughed as they walked. Soon, they arrived at a private room on the second floor of a restaurant.
“Captain is here.” Wang Yi pushed open the door and smiled.
Immediately, everyone in the room stood up. There was Liu Hai, Tu Ling, Zhang Qing, Fang Yu, Zhou Yi, Zhao Fan, Lei Yunfang, Tie Lianyun, Hao Qianyun, and Wu Sai. They smiled at Xu Jingming.
Xu Jingming was in a good mood when he saw this.
It was rare for a group of Chinese to gather in Blood Rain World!
…
Meanwhile, in the imperial capital’s prison.
Wang Jiuyan curled up in the prison. His hands and feet were chained, and his spine was clamped to chains. Even a super expert couldn’t break free, and even moving his body hurt terribly.
“General Wang sure has a high tolerance. He suffered horrendous torture, but he’s still holding on. If I were him, I would’ve long killed myself!”
“To be tortured so badly, it’s worse than death.”
The guards’ hearts trembled when they saw this.
Under all kinds of torture, Wang Jiuyan’s flesh was torn, revealing the bones beneath. He had long become a cripple, but Wang Jiuyan relied on his strength as a super expert to hold on.
What an incompetent ruler! Wang Jiuyan’s heart was filled with endless regret. He never expected that this incompetent emperor would be so ruthless as to imprison his entire family in prison after he returned to the capital obediently.
His parents and children were tortured to death one after another. It almost drove Wang Jiuyan to madness!
He was unwilling to die!
He wanted revenge!
He wanted to kill that incompetent emperor!
I want to live. I want to live. Wang Jiuyan thought of ways to survive. As long as he could survive, he had a chance of revenge.
“General Wang, you sure are tough.” A voice suddenly sounded from outside.
Wang Jiuyan couldn’t be bothered to look.
Clang!
The cell door opened.
Only then did Wang Jiuyan turn his head slightly and see a fair-skinned palace attendant walk over with a smile. After approaching, he whispered, “General Wang, His Majesty had a nightmare last night, so I’m here to send you off!”
Wang Jiuyan was stunned.
Buzz!
The envoy gently touched Wang Jiuyan’s head with his finger and jolted his scalp, immediately turning his brain to mush.
Wang Jiuyan felt his vision turn black as his consciousness fell into darkness.
“General Wang, what’s wrong? General Wang? Someone—come quickly! General Wang is dead,” the palace attendant shouted anxiously.
…
Imperial Capital, Martial Academy.
Dean Ming stood by the lake and looked in the direction of the prison.
Jiuyan is dead? Dean Ming nodded slightly. It’s time for me to leave Blood Rain World!
Then, he turned around and walked to his house, sitting cross-legged on his bed.
Dean Ming closed his eyes, and his consciousness completely left Blood Rain World. His body stopped breathing.
…
On an inhabited planet.
Wang Jiuyan had silver hair and eyebrows, and he wore luxurious clothes. He stared blankly at the beautiful lake in front of him.
Whoosh.
The silver-haired, silver-browed Dean Ming appeared out of thin air.
“Are you awake?” Dean Ming looked at Wang Jiuyan.
“My life in Blood Rain World was actually spent in a virtual world?” Wang Jiuyan murmured.
“You were the one who decided to block your memories and experience an entire life in Blood Rain World,” Dean Ming said. “Your wife and children in Blood Rain World had blocked their memories before entering. Of course, they were only ordinary planetary commoners. To you and them… their lives in Blood Rain World were no different from a real life.”
Wang Jiuyan nodded. “Grandpa, can you bring them here? I want to meet them.”
“I’m warning you.” Dean Ming said seriously, “Having lived in the Blood Rain World with your blocked memories, it’s very easy to confuse it with your life in reality! You have to understand which is reality!”
