Chapter 1570: The sour smell of mentor and love
The Lords of the Dead World had an internal conflict?
Upon hearing Leon's guess, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, then...
"Not very likely, right?"
The Capricorn Director spoke first, blinking with doubt:
"Although they are all called Lords of the Dead World, the First Dead One is different from other Lords of the Dead World. Even among the Pillar Gods, it is one of the strongest. In its prime, it could even rival the former Supreme Four Pillar Gods.
Even if later, because its ability was limited and it felt it couldn't properly handle all the dead, it voluntarily gave away more than half of the 【Death】 authority, it was still the strongest Lord of the Dead World. How could it just be gone like that?"
"I also feel it's a bit strange..."
After pondering slightly, the pot-bellied Cancer Director frowned:
"Although the First Dead One was of the neutral faction and didn't have strong restraint on others, as the one with the oldest qualifications, it was indeed the leader of the Lords of the Dead World.
"According to the Bureau's records, in the past, in order to protect the Six-Faced Elephant-Deer who was tired of the Dead World and wanted to return to the living world, he even fought the Third Generation Lord once. His prestige among the Dead World Rulers should be very high, so how could he be killed due to infighting?"
"Maybe it's some kind of conspiracy!"
The Sagittarius Director narrowed his eyes and said with a face full of suspicion:
"The Lords of the Dead World might have some schemes, so they used Aquarius's soul fragment, trying to pass false information to us... By the way, Lord Third!"
When he said this, the Sagittarius Director seemed to have remembered something. He turned to look at the old man, frowned, and asked:
"You have dealt with the First Dead One more times than I have. Regarding this news, what is your view?"
"I don't want to look at it!"
Reaching into the pot to fish twice, but failing to find even a piece of the spoon handle, the furious old man couldn't help but stomp his feet and roar toward Leon's direction:
"I told you not to come over! Damn! I've already poured the God of Forging into the pot to soak! What does it matter if you throw another spoon in?"
"..."
No... you thousand-year-old Parkinson's, your hand shakes and you can't hold the spoon and it falls into the pot, and you can actually blame it on me?
Looking at the old man who was sweating profusely from anxiety, Leon couldn't help but curl his lips. Then, not wanting to bother with this forging fanatic, he directly proposed:
"Lord Taurus, we can't analyze any results just by pondering here. Why don't I go out from the 【Sage's Cemetery】 and check the situation of the 【Road of No Return】.
You all know my ability. If the First Dead One really has a problem, then the 【Road of No Return】 will definitely stop working. As long as I touch the Road of No Return, the truth of this news can be determined."
"That is indeed the most direct method..."
After nodding and approving Leon's proposal, the Taurus Director looked at Leon's pale face and the soul that had a clear sense of fragmentation, then frowned:
"But it's better to let someone else go. Your state looks a bit poor right now, and the attitude of the Lords of the Dead World is not clear. Going out rashly might be dangerous."
"Lord Taurus, I have no problem."
"Nonsense, you lost a quarter of your soul directly, how can you have no problem?"
Glaring at Leon with dissatisfaction, the silver-haired old lady said with an tone that allowed no refusal:
"With your appearance of swaying when you walk, don't think about moving around. Hurry up and find a coffin to lie down for a while, and repair your damaged soul!"
"But the Road of No Return side..."
"Let Pisces go."
The Taurus Director shook her head:
"The secret arts of the Pisces Palace are similar to your ability. It's just checking whether the Road of No Return has stopped working. It's the same if he goes. You should hurry up and take care of yourself!"
"..."
Alright then. Looking at the silver-haired old lady's stubborn expression, Leon, who understood that this matter was not open for discussion, had to accept her concern, gave up the plan to go out and check the situation, and then found a coffin that had just been dug up, wanting to lie in and repair his soul. However...
"Change to another coffin!"
After fishing the rolling-eyed God of Forging out of the pot, looking at the iron spoon stuck in his forehead, the old man, whose beard was trembling with heartache, turned his head and glared at Leon:
"Suddenly startled... the quality of the material has been ruined! You find a coffin further away from me to lie in, don't disturb my forging!"
"..."
You are the one with the most issues!
Unable to help but roll his eyes at the old man, and since the one who can forge is the boss, Leon had no choice but to put the lid back on the coffin that had already been opened, amidst the confused gaze of the dead person in the coffin, and found a further one.
"Further! Further!"
"..."
Damn, you're not done yet, are you?
Looking at the old man who was still shouting to go further even though the straight-line distance was already over eight hundred meters, Leon couldn't help but close his eyes. While deciding to make his master-disciple relationship public when he went back, he swallowed his anger and walked another dozen meters away.
"Alright, that one! The one that's already dug!"
Read every word correctly!
Fine, fine, fine, whatever you say!
Finally getting the old man's approval, Leon walked to a dug-up grave with a dark face, kicked open the worm-eaten ebony coffin lid, and then...
Met Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who was looking up in surprise.
Ah?!!!
Looking at Auntie Auntie Ai Ma, who was sitting in the ebony coffin with her knees together, with two tear stains at the corners of her eyes, and looking over with a panicked expression, Leon couldn't help but be stunned. Then, a great force came from his buttocks, and his whole body was kicked down, plunging headfirst into a warm and soft embrace.
Hehe, let's see how you get out this time!
After slamming the coffin lid shut and moving two tombstones to press it down firmly, the old man who had quietly touched Leon's back couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. Then, amidst the strange gazes of the crowd, he walked back and said to the Taurus Director, who had a look of astonishment:
"What are you standing there for? Come and help me! Don't you see it's time to put it in the pot?"
"Lord Third..."
Looking at the ebony coffin that arched twice in the distance and then stopped moving, the Taurus Director couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand and said helplessly:
"What were you just..."
"I was eliminating the source of pollution. It's the same principle as scrubbing the pot before forging. Besides, he'll have to thank me after he comes out!"
After waving his hand to indicate it didn't matter, recalling the two intense heartbeats he had just heard, the old man couldn't help but curl his lips, revealing a kind smile unique to a great gossip.
"Tsk tsk, youth is really good~ don't you think?"
"..."
"Indeed."
Hmm?
After looking at the 【Sage's Cemetery】 that was the only one still standing on the Road of No Return in the distance, the Faceless One vaguely seemed to smell something, and the skin on his face, probably where the nose was, couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.
Strange... why did a strange sour smell suddenly come out of the Sage's Cemetery?
