Get a glimpse of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" Chapter 478: Gong Yang Road was neither a Tian family in-law nor a born son of the... Continue the adventure now!

Gong Yang Road was neither a Tian family in-law nor a born son of the household, but a guest scholar recruited by the Tian family, and highly trusted at that.This trust even surpassed the trust usually placed in regular members of the Tian family; one could not join this team venturing into the Hidden Star World without being absolutely trustworthy.

Upon hearing Tian Chang’s question, he simply said, “One cannot discern anything from outside the formation; it must be experienced firsthand.”

“In your view, is the risk high to enter the formation?”

Gong Yang Road replied, “The strength of these natural Arrays varies.

But since they are formed naturally, they are not as unpredictable as man-made Formations.

A Killing Array is a Killing Array, a labyrinth is a labyrinth.

Since this Nine Spirals Quicksand is a labyrinth, at worst, we might just end up being unable to find a way out, trapped to death within it.”

“If that’s the case, then I’m relieved,” Tian Chang extolled.

“As long as we give you time, what do we have to fear about not finding a way out?”

His words were meant to bolster the confidence of the rest of the team and also to enhance Gong Yang Road’s prestige.

Gong Yang Road didn’t let it go to his head and seriously said, “I have only a fifty percent certainty.”

“Fifty percent counts as certainty?

Either we find a way out, or we don’t,” Tian Yong said discontentedly.

“I would also have a fifty percent certainty if I went in myself!”

He wasn’t just lashing out for no reason.

He felt that Gong Yang Road should have recognized earlier that it was a labyrinth and along with Tian Chang, led to his Samurai being entrapped.

It was indeed detestable.

Tian Chang did not pay him any mind and simply took out a Compass, saying, “What about with the addition of the Star-Guiding Disk?”

This Star-Guiding Disk was a Magic Artifact made by Tian Anping himself, usually able to indicate directions and determine routes.

Tian Anping hadn’t needed this item in recent years and had given it to the clan’s treasury.

This time, when they came to the Hidden Star World, they retrieved it.

It was due to this disk that they could cross the sand sea with ease and find this green oasis.

“Seventy percent,” Gong Yang Road stated.

“That’s enough.”

Tian Chang directly ordered, “Liu Si, Tian He, stay outside as a precaution.

The rest follow me into the Array.”

Liu Si protested, “Cousin, I want to go with you.”

Tian Chang put up his hand to stop her coquettish pleading, “Follow the instructions outside.”

Liu Si was his cousin, and Tian He was a born son of the household, previously serving his father and later following him; he was utterly trustworthy.

Having these two wait outside the Array, he felt completely at ease.

If it had been Tian Yong on the outside, he would have worried whether he could return.

Tian Yong had no complaint about this, eager to enter the Array and find his own Samurai who may have suffered damage.

And the unscrupulous puppet-mongers charged no small fee for repairs.

With Tian Yong, the troublemaker, staying silent, the others held considerable faith in Tian Chang’s leadership.

After a brief organization, the group proceeded to fly into the Nine Spirals Quicksand one by one.

After everyone’s silhouettes had vanished, Liu Si stamped her foot, “That bastard!”

She clearly understood why Tian Chang had her wait outside, but she was unwilling to accept it.

Because those who entered the Array were the most likely to reap rewards; standing guard outside meant missing out on the greatest credit for the mission.

But her inclusion in this team was already the result of Tian Chang’s arrangements.

She could throw a tantrum but did not dare to openly defy him.

Tian He was a middle-aged man around forty, who appeared somewhat dull and stiff.

Hearing Liu Si’s complaints, he showed no reaction.

If he hadn’t been such a phlegmatic individual, Liu Si probably wouldn’t have dared curse in front of him.

“Hey!” Liu Si suddenly exclaimed.

“Since you don’t need to enter the Array now, take out the Prime Stones assigned to you for this mission.”

Without a word, Tian He earnestly pulled out a small cloth pouch from his chest, carefully opened it, and inside lay twenty Prime Stones.

“The old fellows are really stingy to death,” Liu Si grumbled as she reached out to take them, took nineteen stones, and put them in her Storage Box.

The Tian family of Da Ze was certainly wealthy, and disciples like Tian Chang lacked nothing in their cultivation.

But for a family like Liu Si’s that depended on the Tian family, it was hard to say whether they had enough to spend so lavishly.

Especially since she wasn’t highly regarded in the Liu family, she was only clinging onto Tian Chang.

She well knew Tian He’s disposition—unquestionably dull and weak, who could not even manage a loud fart with three blows to his backside.

If he didn’t possess a measure of loyalty, Tian Chang wouldn’t use him at all.

Tian He remained silent, just carefully wrapped the remaining single Prime Stone and put it back in his chest.

Liu Si eyed Tian He, “If my cousin finds out, you’re dead.”

Tian He muttered back, “It won’t happen.”

“Good servant,” Liu Si said contentedly, “I am not coveting those few Prime Stones of yours.

It’s just that I’ve had some expenses lately and it’s hard to cover them.

Once I marry my cousin, I will certainly make good use of you.”

Tian He nodded, “Alright.”

Liu Si smiled and then, as if she remembered something, added, “Once this mission is complete and we receive the reward, you should make a filial offering to me.

Don’t worry, Miss remembers everything and will repay you in the future.”

“Still don’t know how much I will be rewarded,” Tian He said woodenly.

“Surely there will be a hundred Prime Stones?” Liu Si said generously, “You can keep ten of them.”

This time, Tian He was silent for a while before speaking, “Miss, I need to cultivate too.”

Liu Si frowned and said, “At your age, with your talent, that’s about it.

No wife, no kids.

What are you saving so many Prime Stones for?

To buy a coffin?”

Tian He said, “Since last year, you have been in charge of distributing the monthly stipend.

I’ve only been taking half…

Miss, please spare me.

It’s precisely because my talent is insufficient that I need more resources.”

Liu Si grew increasingly angry, “Are you dissatisfied?

Believe it or not, I could tell my cousin that you were indecent towards…”

Pfft!

She looked down incredulously to see a small knife embedded in her abdomen and the sharp qi from it piercing straight through her Tongtian Palace.

Tian He, who had pulled out the small knife from nowhere, had stabbed her.

One hand on her shoulder lifted her entire body while the other stabbed with the knife.

One stab, two stabs, three stabs.

His movements were quick and steady.

Liu Si’s eyes widened as she stared blankly at him.

Gazing at this middle-aged man, whose expression remained impassive even as he committed the act, she finally lost her breath and her body slumped down.

Jiang Wang hid within the Red Mirror’s Mirror World, watching the Tian family’s people enter one by one, vanishing just like the samurai warriors had.

He realized they had encountered a natural Formation.

He had planned to get closer to observe, but two people from the Tian family’s group remained outside, standing guard.

As the Tian family’s people had only entered the Formation not long ago and it was uncertain whether they could return promptly, Jiang Wang had no choice but to wait.

Then he saw that woman say something, and the middle-aged man took out a Prime Stone and let her take it.

Red Mirror only provided visuals, not sound.

Jiang Wang thought that in the future, he not only needed to enhance the visual range of the Red Mirror but also learn to read lips.

Then he saw the middle-aged man pull out a small knife and stab the woman to death!

The calmness of the middle-aged man as he murdered her secretly startled Jiang Wang.

This man really was inconspicuous, standing in the ranks of the Tian family, he hardly left any impression.

If it weren’t for being specifically left outside the Array by Tian Chang to respond, Jiang Wang wouldn’t even have noticed him.

Even having noticed him, Jiang Wang had not seen, beneath that wooden exterior, a heart so exceptionally cold.

Jiang Wang didn’t look away.

After killing the woman, the middle-aged man calmly wiped the knife on her clothes, then stood up and walked away.

Throughout the process, there was not a hint of panic.

He remained as serene as if he had decided to step out to buy vegetables.
