“Great-grandmother, Gu Feifei is so powerful?” Hong Dali asked curiously.
“I’ve had my eyes on Gu Feifei for a very long time.” Hua Yueling smiled. “I even tested her secretly. Put it this way, unless Bei Mingxuan goes there personally, other people are not Gu Feifei’s match.”
Woah. He already knew Gu Feifei was the Big Sister in the Divine College. But he never thought she would be this powerful!
It seemed Gu Feifei had a lot of hidden secrets!
“Okay, I understand. Great-grandmother, don’t worry. I will be careful.” The Bei and Zhu families wanted him dead. Hong Dali naturally knew about that. Anyway, he would not put himself in any dangerous situation. He had Gu Feifei and Cutie Ke with him. It should be okay.
“Alright, you need to get ready to set off. I won’t hold you back any longer.” Hua Yueling patted Hong Dali on the shoulder. “Remember to be careful. If you encounter danger, create a big scene. I will send some elite family members to protect you from a distance. If they sense something wrong, they will help you.”
“En, I understand. Great-grandmother, I will go off now.” Hong Dali gave Hua Yueling a hug, then left.
“This rascal.” Hua Yueling looked on as he left. She smiled as she shook her head, then she stood up and left.
When she returned to the Hong Family manor, Hua Yueling looked for a guard and asked, “Is Hong Weicheng and Hong Binhao back?”
“Yes, Old Madam. They’re waiting for you in the hall,” the guard said respectfully.
“En, good.” Hua Yueling replied insipidly and walked toward the discussion hall. She quickly entered the hall. There were already two young men, in their thirties, waiting inside. Both young men looked very strong and were in shiny armors, one red and one blue.
“You’re back.” Hua Yueling looked at them and nodded, satisfied. “Not bad. You didn’t pull down the training. You should be at the peak of the Fourth Order Star Sector-level. How much more to Fifth Order Star Sector-level?”
Hong Weicheng, who was on the left, wearing red armor, said respectfully, “Old Madam, short of some enlightenment. I hope to overcome it within three years.”
Hong Binhao, who was wearing blue armor, said, “Slightly faster for me. Probably two years.”
“En, good.” Hua Yueling sat down and pounded her walking stick. “You should already know your mission this time, right? Protect Dali. No matter what, you must ensure his safety.”
“We understand.” They naturally knew about the Marriage Annulment Challenge between the Hong and Zhu families. The others were in their tightening phase. Hong Dali was where the wind and the waves were the fiercest. His safety was the most important.
“Good. Fiery Star Planet is where you should go. Go now.” Hua Yueling waved her hand lightly.
“We will definitely complete our mission!” Hong Weicheng and Hong Binhao immediately saluted.
…
Hong Family manor back mountains, inside the Wall Tree.
This was a dedicated place for the Hong Family’s head to train in seclusion. At this moment, Hua Yueling sat in front of Hong Xingyu. The Eternal-level equipment from Hong Dali was placed between both of them.
“This is… Eternal-level equipment?” Hong Xingyu looked at the two pieces of equipment and frowned slightly.
“En, that’s what our sweetheart Dali said.” Hua Yueling said curiously, “What is it? Is there something wrong?”
“There’s nothing wrong with the equipment. The key point is where he got them from.” Hong Xingyu crossed his arms and thought for a while with his eyes closed. Then, he slowly opened his eyes and said, “If I’m not wrong, Dali could be the legendary Chosen One.”
“The Chosen One? You mean Dali could be one of the rare legendary Chosen Ones in the astral?!” Hua Yueling was momentarily stunned.
Hua Yueling was very clear about what the Chosen One represented. And because she knew well, she was reluctant to think in that direction.
The Chosen One possessed unlimited strength. The Chosen One usually had an unexpected hidden card.
This was supposed to be a good thing. The problem was, the battles between the Chosen Ones were extremely cruel. In the legendary Shuraba, the Chosen Ones from one hundred astral fought and only one would come out alive! One!
The most important point was that the Chosen Ones were required to take part in the Shuraba. Even if they were Astral Royalty, they could not interfere! After all, that was an obstacle fixed by the Dimension Master.
God’s obstacle!
No matter how powerful the Astral royalty was, they could not be compared to the Dimension Master!
“Highly possible.” Hong Xingyu sighed deeply. “If Dali is really the Chosen One, it should be good news for our family. But, it is definitely not a good thing for him. Do you remember what he always says? He always said he had to squander. I didn’t think too much about it previously. However, if he is the Chosen One, squandering could be his main mission.”
“En, now that you say that, I think it’s possible too.” Hua Yueling nodded, then said, “What should we do next? This is not a simple matter. If our little sweetheart has to take part in the Shuraba…”
“That’s why I’m worried.” Hong Xingyu shook his head forcefully. “Hope we don’t have to worry too much. Oh right, there’s one more important thing. In a few days, Shenglong’s neighboring astral will be visiting. I heard the Chosen Ones have appeared in those few astrals. By then, we would be able to tell if Dali is the Chosen One. If Dali is really the Chosen One, there is only one thing we can do.”
“What is it?” Hua Yueling asked.
“Bei Shihui’s Transformation Soul Stone!” Hong Xingyu took a deep breath. “If Dali is really the Chosen One, we must kill Bei Shihui and get the Transformation Soul Stone. It has the ability to replicate a person’s everything. That could be our only chance.”
“Old man, are you crazy?” Hua Yueling said anxiously, “Who are you intending to give the Transformation Soul Stone to? Who will willingly give up their life?”
“Other people might not be able to use it, but Dali can.” Hong Xingyu said grimly, “Ask Dali to fuse with the Transformation Soul Stone. When he enters the Shuraba, he can mimic a dead person. Perhaps he will be able to escape.”
“You mean ask Dali to mimic a dead person and create the impression that he has died?” Hua Yueling’s eyes lit up instantly.
Transformation Soul Stone. It was not important to be able to change into different forms. The important thing was, after changing forms, one could simulate all the factors and conditions of the form.
Then comes the question, if one changed their form to a dead person, without any sign of life, they would not need to enter the Shuraba, right?
“That’s a good idea!” Hua Yueling praised him. “Old man, your idea is really good! In that case, I’ll make a trip personally. I’m sure Bei Shihui will definitely take action this time.”
“En, be careful. Don’t expose your location. It’ll be terrible if you get assassinated by him.” Hong Xingyu exhorted repeatedly.
It would be hard for Bei Shihui to assassinate Hua Yueling no matter how he changed his looks. But if he changed his looks to look like Hong Dali, it would be bad—Hua Yueling had zero defense against Hong Dali. If she got attacked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
…
At a seemingly quiet location, Bei Yuanqing’s brother, Bei Shihui, had landed on Fiery Star Planet.
As soon as he entered the Fiery Star Planet, he transformed into one of the Flying Dragon Race. It was the lowest form, one that did not have the ability to transform into a person. Flying dragons were all over Fiery Star Planet and were extremely inconspicuous. At the same time, this race was at the top of the food chain. Hence, it was very safe.
“Since Hong Dali is here, Hua Yueling and Hong Xingyu dote on him so much, they would definitely send powerful people to protect him secretly.” Bei Shihui flew in the sky as a flying dragon. “The most possible candidates will be young elites belonging to Hong Weicheng’s generation. These people are in their fifties and sixties, with the strength of a Fourth Order Star Sector-level. They are the best candidates, be it direct attacks or covering retreats. Hence, to kill Hong Dali, it is important to get rid of them first. Otherwise, once I am not able to kill Hong Dali instantly, it will be hard to escape when their reinforcements arrive.”
Since he had devised a plan, Bei Shihui began to patrol the place, looking for possible places where Hong Dali would land—Hong Dali’s location was not important. What was important was the location of those protecting him secretly. That way, it would be easy for him to attack them!
…
“Phew, we’re here.” Landing on Fiery Star Planet, Hong Weicheng took a deep breath and said, “Binhao, be careful. Old Madam predicted that Bei Shihui will be here. If he’s really here, he will definitely guess that we’re here. If he wants to kill Hong Dali, he will want to get rid of us first. Hence, it’s likely we will be attacked by him first.”
“I know.” Hong Binhao smiled. “If he dares to come, I’ll kill him!”
…
On the other side, in the Divine College.
After Hong Dali and the rest left, Bei Yuanqing gathered a big group of people. Since Hong Dali was not in the college, Gu Feifei would not be around as well. This was the best time to attack Hong Dali’s people.
“Listen carefully, everyone.” Bei Yuanqing looked at his people and said grimly, “This is a good opportunity. Both Hong Dali and Gu Feifei are not around. We must get rid of Hong Dali’s people today. By then, everyone can have some fun with his wives!”
