Battle Emperor - Chapter 83

 ODD CONVERSATION

A dense ice cold killing intent began to be released by The Heavenly King Xing Luo, the air temperature dropped dramatically instantaneously, making everyone within a radius of one hundred meters felt sense of cold bones poke them, one after another began to draw back.

Similarly, the entire eight stars of the Star Luo Mercenary Group, also gives the same reaction.
 

Only Xie Aoyu and Bing Wu who did not seem to affected.

Both of them did not even try to resist the cold air at all, simply because they did not feel anything. Not only those who were there surprised, even Xie Aoyu and Bing Wu also began to feel strange and suspicious as their both looked at each other.

They both clearly did not understand what was happening.

But contrary with The Heavenly King Xing Luo, his eyes were wide open, as he looked towards Xie Aoyu and Bing Wu without blinking, and after a moment of silent, he asked: "Are you a disciple to the Butterfly Queen?"

"That's right, senior."Bing Wu answered with her clear and loud voice.

“Well, apparently she is grooming you to be her next successor." The Heavenly King Xing said, as he nodded.

Successor?

Bing Wu was surprised, as though she is the disciple of the Butterfly Queen, but what does that have to do with being a successor, did he mean that I will inherit the master's legacy?

"Your master is Hu Qingan?" The Heavenly King Xing Luo, asked Xie Aoyu. 

Yun Tian Feng and others were surprised as they all looked at Xie Aoyu.

Li Chaofeng blurts out the words from his mouth: "King Tiger Hu Qingan?" 

"I want to say that I am, but I do not even know that person, as I am practicing alone." Xie Aoyu shrugs, but he naturally knew who Hu Qingan was. 

Across the continent, those who do not know who was Hu Qingan are few.

In the continent today, experts such as Heavenly King-level masters are small in numbers, including the upper-level Heavenly King, which is also smaller in number, where they are known as the ten superior masters. These ten superior masters are not only more powerful, but also stronger than the "common" upper-level Heavenly King master, so for that reason, the title of king was conferred to them.

Of course, the title of king given by the Imperial Court of the empire was in name only without any connection with the nobility, rather it is a symbol that represents the strongest in the whole continent, in which this is precisely why, Hu Qingan that with only depending on his strength alone, can be part of one of the top ten superior masters, is now known as the King Tiger.

“You’re practicing without a master?” The Heavenly King Xing Luocould not help but exclaimed.

Xie Aoyu nodded.

“No one to help or guide you?” The Heavenly King Xing Luo’s tone deepened.

“No." Xie Aoyu gives a short and simple reply.

Listen to the answer that makes The Heavenly King Xing Luo's eyebrows furrowed, as his eyes gradually suffused with a silver white glow, he looked toward Xie Aoyu from top to bottom, with a smile on his lips, he said, "It seems this brother has limitless potential.”He flipped his wrist, and a token appeared," this token belongs to my Star Luo, seeing this, equal as seeing myself in person. So if there's anything that you need, little brother take and show this token to the Luo Star Mercenary Group's station, we will mobilize forces for you. "

"This present is too expensive." Xie Aoyu waved his hand as he spoke.

"Well, as compared with your big contribution, which had saved His Highness the Prince from being kidnapped, this can be considered too light." The Heavenly King Xing Luo laughed, "Accept it, it may prove to be useful to you somehow or another in the future."

Afterwards, The Heavenly King Xing Luo, together with the Prince Yun Tian Feng departed.

At that time, Li Chaofeng came and laughed: "Aoyu, you really ought to envy, you not only have earned the praise of The Heavenly King Xing Luo, you even got his Star Luo's token, after this, your identity along with your status will be quite different. "

Xie Aoyu looked towards everyone, only to find all the people around him seemed to filled with jealousy.

He was only able to smile bitterly while shook his head. It is not that he did not like the token awarded by The Heavenly King Xing Luo, after all, that means that he will have something to protect him, as later he is likely to face the retaliation of the Imperial Crown Mercenary Group, so at least he have nothing to fear.

But the problem here is that the words uttered from the mouth of The Heavenly King Xing Luo.

He was not aware of what is in me, right? Maybe he is similar to Li Chaofeng who always ask only because out of curiosity, but what Xie Aoyu know, that the tri-color sphere within his body reacted strangely.

Furthermore, he know why he was not affected by the Heavenly King Xing Luo murderous aura, as this tri-color sphere likely would be the cause for that to happen.

However, as for Bing Wu, what would be the reason...?

(TN: He thought about Bing Wu, who is also not affected by the cold aura that has been released by The Heavenly King Xing Luo before. So maybe Bing Wu also has a secret which is stored in the body of her. That's why Xing Luo said she would be the heir to the Butterfly Queen.)

And why is that The Heavenly King Xing Luo thinks that he is Hu Qingan's disciple? Is this tri-color sphere somehow or another related to King Tiger Hu Qingan?

"It's just a Star Luo's token, that's all of it." Xie Aoyu trying to copes with the reason.

His casual attitude, caused a student to feel discontent, "Are you for real ah, brother Xie Aoyu, you really do not know or pretend not to know?"

"Know what?" Xie Aoyu stunned, as he holds the star Luo's token, "This is not something that symbolizes the power of the Star Luo Mercenary Group, is it not?"

"This token, is not that simple, it also means The Heavenly King Xing Luo's friendship." The student exclaimed.

"Nobody knows the Heavenly King Xing Luo's actual level of realm, but everyone knows that his older brother is the Ten Kings Xing (星 star) Chen Feng, which this star Luo's token is a symbol of these two brothers, even those who are close to them, did not get their hands on this token. So far, you are the second one. "the other students could not help but raise his voice. 

For such of good items, this Xie Aoyu have the heart to said that's all of it, it's absolutely outrageous!! 

Xie Aoyu rubbed his nose, as he let a dry chuckle: "There is such of thing?" 

Li Chaofeng's face and others have the expression of someone who has been utterly defeated. 

Xie Aoyu absolutely did not expect that this person Xing Luo turned out to be the younger brother of the Ten Kings Xing Chen Feng. So it seems this star Luo's token is likely to bring more benefits than harm, he will keep this, but at this moment, he is more concerned about Bing Wu, because Bing Wu is not affected by Xing Luo's killing intent before.

All of them continue to accelerate their movement towards Te Luo City. 

This is because Bing Wu and others have already completed their ventures. 

"Bing Wu, have your master feed you anything odd like divine elixir or something similar?" Xie Aoyu, and Bing Wu deliberately lagged behind, as to not arouse suspicion, along the way, they also deliberately distanced themselves from others , and the rest of the people can only think that this is a "love-struck".

"Divine elixir? There seems to be nothing." Bing Wu shook her head, "Master has been feeding me a lot of medicine, but that was to transform my physique, so that I can cultivate faster, but the master does not allow me to consume just any potion to directly increased my strength, says that it would only do harm my future cultivation, so it's not good. " 

Xie Aoyu: "You did not seem affected by the Heavenly King Xing Luo's cold murderous aura, what happened?" 

Try to remember something back, Bing Wu appeared unsure herself: "I do not know, I just felt like when the murderous aura was released, my body for a moment as if it was frozen, but then I was recovered in an instant, it was like nothing had happened.” 

"You try to remember the feeling, the reason why you're not affected." Xie Aoyu said. 

Bing Wu furrowed her brows and pursed her lips, for a long time before saying, "as if my whole body rebounded." 

"Huu ......" 

Xie Aoyu let out a breath. 

"Aoyu, what do you think?" Bing Wu asked. 

"I'm sure you take divine elixir, or something similar." Xie Aoyu said with certainty.

“But the divine elixir together with those killing intent does not seems to connect to me , and I do not think that I have ever taken it before. "Bing Wu said, looking unconvinced. 

Xie Aoyu smiled: "Maybe your master secretly fed you the medicine." 

Listening to this, Bing Wu laughed, "That is most likely what has happened, after all,master indeed love me dearly!" 

Seeing the smiles on Bing Wu 's face, Xie Aoyu sighed inwardly , as he still does not have any concrete evidence that can be placed under these circumstances, furthermore he cannot guarantee whether You Lan Ruo will act to kill him if the matter which has occurred previously , disclosed. 

But what has happened today, have made Xie Aoyu to think deeper, because the attempt to kill him previously by the Butterfly Queen, it seems there is more than meets the eye , and there is the possibility that all of this has to do with the tri -color spheres.
