Chapter 864 - Farewell, Gao Yi
Begin Chapter 864 of "MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again" with: Upon hearing the negotiation between the two, the face of the Sect Leader of the... Find out more!
Upon hearing the negotiation between the two, the face of the Sect Leader of the God Catcher Sect grew even darker. He had heard the tomboyâs report and learned that the other party might be a formidable outsider, which sparked his intention to test him. Thatâs why he deliberately chose to bring Lu Hong to this meeting place with the direct descendants of the Gao family, hoping to knock some sense into Lu Hong.Unfortunately, after this maneuver, it seemed he was the one being knocked around.
He didnât recognize Gao Yi, but from the words of the Gao familyâs direct descendant, it was easy to infer this personâs identity, which was at a level higher than the one he had met. Yet such a person was called "little brother" by the man in front of him. Based on this, what terrifying identity and status could this man possess?
Just as the Sect Leader of the God Catcher Sect was pondering how to mend his relationship with Lu Hong, unexpectedly, Gao Yi arrived.
He barged directly into the internal area of the God Catcher Sect, like a whirlwind, arriving in front of Lu Hong.
Gao Yi stopped in front of Lu Hong, his face flushed with excitement. Upon confirming it was indeed Lu Hong, he immediately lunged towards him.
With a thud, the two figures collided heavily, transforming into a big bear hug.
"Haha, big brother, itâs really you! Youâre actually not dead!" Gao Yi was so happy. Because of the incident in Wuzhen back then, he was punished by his family. Later, he heard that Lu Hong was being hunted by the four extraordinary powers of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds and had died under the device of realm rupture. This left Gao Yi in a daze for quite some time.
Gao Yi was somewhat stubborn and determined. Since he had recognized Lu Hong as his big brother, he would follow him for life, only he hadnât found the opportunity to do so yet.
"Big brother!" After the bear hug, Gao Yi spoke, "Now that I can see you, Iâve decided to follow you from now on and never leave your side."
"No, I have no interest in such relationships. Since youâre the pride of the Gao family, you should contribute to them," Lu Hong shook his head, refusing Gao Yiâs request.
"Are you saying you find me a nuisance?" Gao Yi was taken aback, then realized and said solemnly, "I swear I will work hard and never hold you back, big brother."
"Thatâs not what I mean," Lu Hong slightly shook his head, explaining, "Following me wonât help your growth. Itâs better to continue contributing to your family and gain resources for cultivation. Besides, you should know my current situation. If those people find out Iâm still alive, it would be a big problem."
There were still outsiders present, so Lu Hong didnât make things too clear. Actually, it didnât matter if he was straightforward, because these people were too low-level; even if they had information, no one would believe it, nor would they have any opportunity to contact the higher-ups.
Although Gao Yi was stubborn, he wasnât foolish. He immediately understood that his big brother staying in this lower plane was mostly to avoid the pursuit of those top forces. But in this lower plane, communication was difficult, and he might be his big brotherâs future connection to the outside world.
Thinking of the role he could play, Gao Yi nodded, "I understand, I will do what I need to do well."
Hearing this, Lu Hong shook his head helplessly, "Youâre my brother; why does it feel like youâre my servant? Thatâs not how it is between us."
Saying this, Lu Hong turned to look at the Sect Leader of the God Catcher Sect.
Seeing Lu Hongâs gaze, the Sect Leader of the God Catcher Sect quickly smiled, "What instructions do you have, sir?"
"I came to your God Catcher Sect to prove my innocence, but now that Iâve met my brother, I have other things to tend to, so this matter..."
Before Lu Hong finished speaking, the Sect Leader of the God Catcher Sect quickly said, "Youâre too serious, sir. Someone of your stature could not possibly be involved with these mundane matters. Our God Catcher Sect believes that this matter is definitely not your doing. Thereâs no need for such concern on your part."
Seeing the other party speak, Lu Hong nodded in satisfaction and then smiled, "In that case, thank you, Sect Leader. If I have time in a few days, I can help you solve this case."
After speaking, Lu Hong left the God Catcher Sect with Gao Yi.
Watching the two leave, the Sect Leader of the God Catcher Sect quickly called over the dumbfounded tomboy on the side, "Xu Peipei!"
"Ah? Iâm here!" Xu Peipei quickly ran to the Sect Leader.
"From now on, your only task is to monitor this mysterious powerhouse. Grant any requests, and if beyond your ability, report to me at any time. He might bring great benefits to our God Catcher Sect!"
"This..." Xu Peipei, not being a fool, naturally understood the Sect Leaderâs meaning. Isnât this typical flattery behavior? Winning him over with graciousness, even a random reward could make them live leisurely for a lifetime.
"Sect Leader, we have done this kind of thing before, but we got very little of any real use. Those clan powerhouses wouldnât give us anything precious."
"This time is different," the Sect Leader shook his head, "I have a different feeling. This time might lead to a revolutionary change for our Sung Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, Xu Peipei was taken aback. The leadership of the God Catcher Sect has never been inherited by strength but by the selection of the Eye of the Future.
Only those recognized by the Eye of the Future could be called the Sect Leader of the God Catcher Sect. Though the Eye of the Future is usually almost impossible to trigger, it automatically activates during significant moments of fate, allowing the possessor to see glimpses of the future. Depending on oneâs strength, the glimpses can vary in length. Xu Peipei didnât know how much her Sect Leader saw, but these words left no room for doubt, as the events seen by the Eye of the Future would surely happen in reality.
"I must also report this to Your Majesty." Saying this, the Sect Leader of the God Catcher Sect stood up excitedly, "This time, our Sung Dynasty might really rise!"
Leaving the God Catcher Sect, Lu Hong and Gao Yi arrived at the small courtyard in Languifang.
"This is my temporary residence in Sung Dynasty. If you need anything in the future, you can come here to find me."
After examining it, Gao Yi spoke, "If you need money, let me know. I can get you a few villas. Staying here..."
"Do I look like someone who indulges in luxury?"
Gao Yi shook his head, "No."
"Then thatâs settled." Lu Hong patted Gao Yi on the shoulder and then smiled, "Iâve also recognized a younger sister. Iâll bring her home later to introduce you. If it wasnât for her, I might already be dead."
"A lifesaver of big brother?" Gao Yiâs expression turned solemn, "Then she must be properly thanked."
"Hey, hey, donât be too serious. She doesnât know about my matters, so donât reveal anything to her. She hasnât cultivated; sheâs just an ordinary person."
The two chatted for a while longer, eventually bringing up All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.
"Since my incident, howâs the situation in the Constant Domain?"
Gao Yi spoke, "I only know the general situation. But if you want, big brother, Iâll gather the information."
Lu Hong nodded, "Alright, then tell me what you know."
"Since the emergence of the realm rupture device showing its power, the four extraordinary powers have been jointly targeted by the Nine Domains and Eighteen Realms and soon withdrew from the Constant Domain, returning to the Heaven and Earth Domains to lie low. The Constant Domain, because of the appearance of primordial mutant beasts, has drawn widespread attention. More and more family forces are choosing to enter and explore it, searching for primordial relics. Believe it or not, it seems they truly found a site, but I donât know its name."
After Gao Yiâs account, Lu Hong slightly frowned. The widespread attention on the Constant Domain meant that those high and mighty family forces would surely wage wars and invade it, which could spell an unprecedented disaster for the Constant Domain, more terrifying than the Shadow Demon invasion back then.
Although Lu Hong was quite concerned about the safety of the Star Domain, he truly couldnât return and was unable to either.
If his identity couldnât be effectively concealed, he would surely be recognized, and the consequences would be imaginable. In other words, even if he were to leave here, Lu Hong couldnât do so through the Gao family. While Gao Yi had a close relationship with him, it didnât guarantee others in the family shared this bond. Once issues were detected, there was too high a risk of him being exposed.
"Gao Yi, help me gather information about Tang Shi and Tianwu in the Constant Domain as soon as possible. These two worlds are closely related to me."
Hearing this, Gao Yi nodded, "Got it." And with that, Gao Yi prepared to leave to gather information.
