Zhao Qinghu branded Luosai Hu's butt with a cigarette butt.
Then he grinned, holding a cigarette in his mouth.
“I heard about it, but knowing it is useless. How many normal people go into the Land of Eternal Night without going crazy? Even the Eternal Night Army, after so many years, can only be considered to be on the fringes of the Land of Eternal Night, and cannot fully live in its heartland.
The Elf King is almost in the heartland of the Land of Eternal Night. Those people from the Eternal Night Army probably don’t even have the guts to go look for him.”
Mad Dog Chen Shaoyi chimed in, “But there isn’t only the Eternal Night Army in the Land of Eternal Night. I’m afraid some positions might find the Elf King earlier! According to the current trend, Eternal Night Descends is only a matter of time. I now suspect whether the Eternal Night Army is rushing south because they discovered something in the Land of Eternal Night!”
Ye Xing shrugged his shoulders, “None of that can be said for sure! What we already know has emerged are the King of Calamity, the King of Reincarnation, plus this soon-to-emerge Elf King. Nearly half of the Seven Kings have appeared!”
Liang Feng said in a muffled voice, “Did you forget the King of Slaughter?”
“The previous one wasn’t the King of Slaughter; he couldn’t even be considered a substitute!”
“Then has the King of Slaughter emerged or not?”
Zhao Qinghu pulled open Luosai Hu’s waistband and flicked cigarette ash into his crotch. The air was filled with a burnt smell, and Zhao Qinghu chuckled mischievously, saying, “The King of Slaughter has emerged! A long time ago, I heard people say that an anomaly appeared at the Church Headquarters, and the Pope himself saw it—the King of Slaughter had emerged! And the Pope secretly issued an order, the implication being that he wanted to either tame the Seven Kings or nip them in the bud!”
Mad Dog Chen Shaoyi lit a cigarette, and upon hearing this, he sneered, “Pure nonsense. Since the Seven Kings were born, who has been able to nip them in the bud? Has the Holy Light fried his brain to say such crazy things?”
“You brat, if someone tells the Church what you just said, you’ll definitely suffer for it!”
Chen Shaoyi sneered, completely ignoring him.
“A Xin, didn’t your Deputy Director Gong Siyuan of the Ninth Division look for a Judicator before? Have you found any clues recently?”
Fang Xin shrugged and spread his hands, “After Jiuyou snatched the Judicator found by the Ninth Division, both Judicators from both sides were killed. Now, both the Ninth Division and Jiuyou are at a loss, not knowing who was so bold.”
Zhao Qinghu, holding a cigarette, said, “I asked someone, and the situation that day was that both factions basically dispatched T1-level experts. To intercept two Judicators under those circumstances… I was joking with my old man before, saying that person has truly big guts; he’s definitely someone. If I could meet him, regardless of our factions, I would definitely befriend him!”
Fang Xin scratched the side of his face nonchalantly.
He was a bit embarrassed by the praise.
Liang Feng continued, “I heard the Pope consulted a Diviner about the Zero Arbiter.”
Zhao Qinghu let out a strange chuckle upon hearing this, “Don’t even mention the Pope consulting a Diviner. According to reliable sources, the Eternal Night Great Emperor, the boss of the Eternal Night Army, also went to their Grand Priest to try and divine about the Zero Arbiter.”
Fang Xin felt a little nervous hearing this and quickly asked, “What was the result of the divination?”
Zhao Qinghu unhurriedly tossed his cigarette butt into Luosai Hu’s crotch. Luosai Hu, who was tied up, writhed on the ground like a maggot in discomfort as the cigarette butt landed in his crotch.
Fang Xin was a bit speechless; compared to him, Bai Mao Zai didn’t have so many little tricks.
Zhao Qinghu wrapped his cloak around himself, “The result was that both the Pope and the Eternal Night Great Emperor were rebuffed. Neither the Diviner nor the Grand Priest gave them any information about the Zero Arbiter. It was as if the two had discussed it beforehand; they both just said, ‘Prepare yourselves, the Age of Dharma Decline is about to descend!’
That old geezer, the Pope, still didn’t believe in evil and found another perception-type expert to forcibly divine the whereabouts of the Zero Arbiter.”
Zhao Qinghu paused here, then took out some dried meat from his spatial ring and distributed it among them.
The other three were used to Zhao Qinghu’s ways, but Fang Xin was quite anxious, “Brother Zhao, did the person the Pope found divine anything?”
Zhao Qinghu bit into a piece of dried meat, “Divine my ass. That perception-type expert exploded directly. Have you ever seen one of those old-fashioned hand-cranked popcorn machines pop a crayfish? It went ‘bang’ and just exploded, all liquid. His internal organs were all shattered, and the shit, piss, and undigested food in his stomach were blasted everywhere.”
“Really? Is that true?”
Zhao Qinghu munched on the dried meat with great relish, “Why would I lie to you? I knew the guard outside the divination hall at the time. That kid was the Pope’s personal guard. He was waiting outside and said he heard an explosion inside, so he told his subordinates to be on alert. Then, when he opened his mouth, a shrimp flew in. Later, he found out that the perception-type expert had eaten stir-fried shrimp before the divination. That kid hasn’t eaten shrimp since then.”
Fang Xin looked at the dried meat in his hand and suddenly felt it hard to swallow.
Zhao Qinghu, however, ate with gusto, narrating animatedly.
Ye Xing and the other two ate expressionlessly, seemingly long accustomed to Zhao Diaosi’s eccentricities.
“Brother Hu, logically speaking, divining about the Zero Arbiter shouldn’t have such a backlash, right? How could he explode?” Liang Feng asked unhurriedly while eating his dried meat.
Zhao Qinghu licked the meat fibers from between his teeth, “Maybe the Pope wanted to eat shrimp.”
People often laugh when they are extremely speechless.
A few of them couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.
Zhao Qinghu became slightly serious and said, “I heard my old man say that he chatted with a Diviner and subtly asked about it. This generation’s Zero Arbiter is extraordinary, very powerful, and full of variables. It’s highly possible that he will be the first terrifying existence in history to integrate the thirteen Judicators and the Seven Kings!”
Everyone held their breath, and their movements of eating dried meat paused slightly.
Fang Xin ate a piece of dried meat, “You’re exaggerating, Brother Zhao, aren’t you? One Judicator, integrating the Seven Kings and all Judicators? Isn’t that a bit too much of a boast?”
Zhao Qinghu ate his dried meat, then took out a bottle of good wine and poured it for everyone, “You can’t say for sure. The Age of Dharma Decline is descending, accompanied by unexpected rises and widespread chaos. At that time, anything is possible. By conventional wisdom, the identities of the thirteen Judicators are already established. The other twelve Judicators have more or less shown traces, but only this Zero Arbiter has never appeared once. Based on my intuition, I always have a feeling that this scoundrel is hiding somewhere, observing the big picture.”
Fang Xin bit into a piece of dried meat, raised his wine glass, “Brother Zhao, excellent insight!”
