Chapter 131 - Ning Tairan's Bane
Chapter 131
From Shi Xing’an’s recount, Lin Moyu learned the details.
The Abyss launched a large-scale attack, targeting more than one location.
In addition to the First Fortress, the Seventh and Eighth Fortresses of the Shenxia Empire were also attacked.
All the high-level class users in the military went to Seventh and Eighth Fortresses for support.
The fighting over there was more intense, with even class users who have undergone the third awakening participating in the battle.
In addition to Shenxia Empire, Sakura Kingdom, Bongja Kingdom, and Eagle Kingdom have also been attacked. The intensity of the attack the other three countries suffered was no weaker than that of Shenxia Empire.
Shi Xing’an said, “Shenxia Empire fared fairly well. We didn’t suffer any casualties. Meanwhile, Sakura Kingdom and Bongja Kingdom suffered badly. A lot of their class users died.”
Class users fear neither injury nor loosing limbs.
As long as they are alive, then even the most serious injury can be healed.
However, if their life is snuffed out, then there’s nothing that can save them.
War is a cruel endeavor, especially if it’s between mankind and the Abyss.
That is a war of life and death between kinds, a war of extinction, where neither side will take prisoners nor accept surrender.
There are only two possibilities, either death or life.
Shi Xing’an said, “The First Fortress is the farthest from the Abyss, and there are nine fortresses between it and the Abyss for us, so we are the least affected here.”
“In addition, thanks to the heavy defenses set up by the empire’s top powerhouses, the Abyss can’t teleport powerful Demons here.”
“However, this isn’t foolproof either. Although teleportation may be out of question, but there are Demons expert at stealth who may sneak in and try to assassinate you.”
“If you are active on the Dimensional Battlefield, you must be careful.”
Lin Moyu’s performance this time was marvelous. Abyssal Demons have already taken note of him.
If given the opportunity, they will spare no effort to kill him.
Only Lin Moyu can freely kill level 30-plus abyssal demonic creatures at level 24.
If Lin Moyu grows further, he might become a serious trouble for the Abyss.
Mankind has produced many talented individuals, some of whom have been assassinated by the Abyss, before they could grow.
Lin Moyu’s vigilance rose, “I will.”
Ning Yiyi ran up to Lin Moyu’s side and asked, smiling brightly. “Are you done talking?”
Lin Moyu nodded, “We are. Let’s take a break in the fortress first, and then go dungeon raiding.”
Ning Yiyi nodded repeatedly, “Okay, okay.”
Lin Moyu wants to take her dungeon raiding. This makes her extremely happy.
All of a sudden, Ning Yiyi’s communicator rang.
Ning Yiyi smiled and accepted the call, “Grandpa, why are you calling me? Didn’t you say you would leave me alone during missions?”
“Where are you now?” An old and majestic voice came from the communicator.
Ning Yiyi answered, “I’m at the Dimensional Battlefield, in the First Fortress.”
“Stay right where you are, I’ll be there right away.” The voice clearly sounded relieved.
Ning Yiyi’s expression changed slightly, and she let out an “oh.”
After ending the call, Ning Yiyi said, “My grandpa is coming here.”
Lin Moyu said nonchalantly, “Then let’s wait for him.”
Ning Yiyi felt a little uneasy, “Why is Grandpa suddenly coming to see me?”
“He’s probably worried about you,” Lin Moyu uttered.
During the previous battle, the communicators have been out of service. Her grandpa was understandably worried about his granddaughter.
A few minutes later, a spirited old man appeared in the teleportation formation.
The old man is dressed in a robe characteristic of Shenxia Empire.
“Grandpa.” Ning Yiyi called out sweetly.
Lin Moyu furrowed his eyebrows.
This old man isn’t a simple character.
There is an emblem of Xiajing Academy on his body, indicating that he is affiliated with Xiajing Academy.
There is also a military badge on his chest…
Five-star godly general.
Not unlike Bai Yiyuan, he’s a five-star godly general.
Such characters aren’t commonly seen in Shenxia Empire.
They are famous individuals displayed in textbooks.
Surname Ning, five-star godly general, he must be Ning Tairan.
Lin Moyu felt great respect.
This is a great figure on par with Bai Yiyuan, yet he’s unexpectedly Ning Yiyi’s grandpa.
No wonder Ning Yiyi didn’t care about the intermediate skill scroll.
It turns out she’s Ning Tairan’s granddaughter.
Ning Tairan walked out of the teleportation formation and, when he saw that Ning Yiyi is safe and sound, breathed a sigh of relief.
In the next moment, however, his eyes narrowed, and his pupils constricted, revealing a dangerous light.
He saw his granddaughter holding a stinky kid’s hand.
Most importantly, he knows the stinky kid.
“Lin Moyu!” Ning Tairan let out a low shout.
Lin Moyu was taken aback, “Do you know me?”
“Stinky kid, let go of your claw!” Ning Tairan let out another low shout.
“What do you mean?” Lin Moyu was stunned, unable to react momentarily. This legendary character’s temper is quite bad.
Ning Yiyi understood. She snorted and positioning herself in front of Lin Moyu, “Grandpa, what are you doing?”
Seeing Ning Yiyi, Ning Tairan’s overwhelming momentum vanished into thin air, and he plastered a smile on his face, “It’s nothing. I only wanted to see this kid has guts. He seems to be alright.”
Ning Yiyi snorted, a displeased look on her face, “You mustn’t bully Moyu. Otherwise, I will ignore you.”
Ning Tairan’s complexion changed drastically, “This is out of the question. Don’t worry, I won’t bully him, or else Bai Yiyuan will demolish my Dungeon Hall.”
“Then that’s good!”
Ning Yiyi showed a shade of satisfaction, then turned to Lin Moyu and, “This is my grandpa. You must have guessed his name by now, so there’s no need for introductions.”
Lin Moyu nodded and said, “Greetings, Senior Ning.”
Ning Tairan waved his hand, “Alright, alright, drop the formalities.”
When he spoke to Lin Moyu, his tone still hasn’t improved much.
But because of Ning Yiyi’s presence, he still managed to keep his temper in check.
However, he kept his eyes peeled on their hands.
Ning Yiyi continued to hold Lin Moyu’s hand.
Ning Yiyi asked, “Why did you come in such a hurry?”
Ning Tairan blew his top, saying, “I’m here to pick you up. That idiot Second Brother actually instructed you to go to the Dimensional Battlefield for a mission, he must be out of his mind.”
Ning Yiyi had a strange expression on her face, “But Second Grandpa said you were the one who gave out the mission.”
Ning Tairan trembled and blew his top, eyes opened wide, “That’s some fucking bullshit. He didn’t even discuss it with me. I had something to do the past few days, and he took advantage of this gap.”
“Yiyi, come back with me. You’ve had enough missions for the time being.”
Ning Tairan extended his hand toward Ning Yiyi, but she dodged it.
Ning Yiyi shook her head, saying, “Since Second Grandpa assigned this mission t me and I have accepted it, then I must complete it.”
“After all, you were the one who taught me to finish what I started.”
Ning Yiyi spoke confidently, a defiant expression on her face.
Ning Tairan became a bit worried, “You can do missions anywhere. In the academy, there are plenty of missions. Why does it have to be on the Dimensional Battlefield? You don’t know how dangerous this place is. What if something unexpected happens?”
“Second Brother is an idiot. When I return, I’ll give him a good beating.”
Ning Yiyi snorted, “With Moyu around, there won’t be any danger.”
“Moyu promised to take me dungeon raiding, to help me gather the hell outpost set.”
Hearing Ning Yiyi say Moyu this, Moyu that, Ning Tairan’s expression became unsightly.
His jealousy has risen to the surface.
He stared at Lin Moyu, “Stinky kid, what do you think? The Dimensional Battlefield is too dangerous. I don’t want Yiyi to take risks here.”
His words contain a hint of threat.
Lin Moyu said in a low voice, “I respect Yiyi’s choice.”
“You…”
Ning Tairan’s eyes opened wide, and his expression turned ferocious.
Ning Yiyi stepped forward and said, “Grandpa, don’t threaten Moyu. Otherwise, I really will ignore you.”
Ning Tairan’s imposing momentum promptly melted like snow, and he plastered a smile on his face again. “Fine, fine. You say you want to raid the hell rank outpost dungeon with this kid, then how about I send a few people to accompany you two?”
In his opinion, in order to raid a hell rank dungeon, there should be at least 10 people.
It’s troublesome to look for people to form a party. If he sends some people, they shouldn’t refuse.
Ning Yiyi responded, “No need, Moyu will take me dungeon raiding by himself.”
“What do you mean?! Are you two tired of living?”
Unable to keep his calm, Ning Tairan couldn’t help but let out strange cries.
Ning Yiyi uttered, “Grandpa, take a look at this.”
She showed Ning Tairan the Hell Outpost Dagger.
Ning Tairan showed a look of disbelief, “Did you two really clear the hell rank dungeon?”
Ning Yiyi chuckled, “It’s not us two, to be precise, but Moyu who carried me through the dungeon. I didn’t have to do anything.”
“Really?”
“Really!”
Ning Tairan was speechless.
He knows a little bit about Lin Moyu’s ability to raid dungeons.
In the large-scale dungeon Tyrant Desert, he carried 39 people at a time by himself.
Unexpectedly, he can even solo the hell rank outpost dungeon.
That is to say, once Lin Moyu’s level rises, he should also be able to solo other hell rank dungeons.
In this way…
At least he doesn’t have to worry about Ning Yiyi’s equipment anymore.
He saw Lin Moyu in a new light.
He scrutinized Lin Moyu, and then suddenly saw the military badge on his breast.
He issued strange cries once again, “You’re already a lieutenant? How is that possible?”
Ning Yiyi said, “Grandpa, why are you always making such a fuss? At your age, shouldn’t you already have learned how to maintain your cool?”
“In this regard, Second Grandpa is better than you. He doesn’t make a fuss over every little thing.”
“Lieutenant isn’t a run-of-the-mill thing.”
“Alright. Grandpa, you can return first. We’ll be back in a few days.”
After being chastised by his granddaughter, Ning Tairan finally calmed down and said, “You need to come back before the class user competition, which will be held a few days later.”
Ning Yiyi got a bit impatient, “I got it. Now go back. We’ll take our leave first.”
Lin Moyu said his goodbyes to Ning Tairan, “Please don’t worry, I will take care of Yiyi.”
Ning Yiyi left with Lin Moyu, leaving Ning Tairan by himself, in a daze.
There were people coming and going, but they all ignored Ning Tairan, as if he weren’t there.
When the three were talking just now, no one around heard them.
Needless to say, this was all Ning Tairan’s doing.
Otherwise, with his identity, he would have attracted lots of attention.
“This kid isn’t quite normal. I need to ask about him!”
After a while, Ning Tairan turned and walked into the fortress.
