Chapter 688 (Banner Master)
Li Hun respectfully said, “Your Honor, your subordinate has never heard of the force called Nanwu banner.”
Upon hearing Li Hun’s words, Ye Hua was slightly disappointed. When Li Hun appeared, her overall strength was stronger than Zi Shan’s, indicating that she had been alive for a longer time, but she didn’t know about it.
“Zi Shan, do you know?” Ye Hua asked in a deep voice.
Zi Shan replied in a low voice, “Your Honor, your subordinate is also unsure.”
“Oh? Then tell me what you know.”
“Yes!”
Zi Shan took a deep breath and respectfully said, “Your subordinate used to enjoy reading ancient books. By chance, I came across a piece of parchment in the Prince’s study that mentioned the two words ‘Nanwu banner’.”
Yi Hong’s face stiffened beside them. ‘The ex-boyfriend… no, the ex-husband of her wife…’
Zi Shan actually cared about her husband’s feelings, which was why she hesitated earlier. But when Your Honor asked, could she tell a lie? Clearly, that wouldn’t work.
“Continue,” Ye Hua became interested, even the three women behind him were curious.
Of course, the numerous subordinates were not to be left out. After all, a powerful opponent had finally appeared, and they had to approach the matter with a serious attitude.
Zi Shan continued quietly, “The parchment was damaged, so the information wasn’t complete. This Nanwu banner was a group of individuals from the Primordial Era, consisting of a Banner Master and Five Banners. They enjoyed challenging formidable opponents and paid no attention to the weak. That’s about it.”
Ye Hua felt that these six people were somewhat similar to his own ideals. They challenged the impossible, only to be surrounded and attacked by a group of powerful individuals. They broke the seal while he was reborn, but their essence hadn’t changed.
Moreover, they were people from the Primordial Era, which was quite interesting. It was said that all the people from the Primordial Era were wiped out in a great battle, but they should have been sealed, so they escaped the disaster.
Indeed, this opponent was very powerful. ‘This deity is getting excited!’
And they enjoyed challenging the powerful, so there was no need for him to seek them out. They would naturally come knocking on his door.
However, Ye Hua was thinking about something important. If his subordinates’ subordinates were to fight against those five individuals, who would win or lose?
For example, the Green and Red brothers, although they had enhanced their strength, they didn’t possess any techniques or combat experience. It’s likely they wouldn’t be a match.
This time, things were really tricky. He had to think carefully.
“Everyone, be on standby 24/7 and await my orders!” Ye Hua commanded in a low voice.
“Yes!” The subordinates responded in unison.
“You can disperse now!”
After the subordinates dispersed, Ye Hua returned to the Voidless Realm with his wives and sister-in-law.
“Ye Hua, should we inform the outside world?” Donghuang Baizhi curiously asked.
“There’s no need.” Did he have to explain his actions to others? That’s ridiculous!
Donghuang Baizhi didn’t ask further. At present, she relied on her husband’s decisions.
“I’m a bit hungry,” Ye Hua murmured.
Qing Ya smiled tenderly and said, “Alright, I’ll cook for you.”
Ye Hua nodded and then sat in the garden, lost in thought. These five individuals were more powerful than he had imagined, and the Banner Master, what kind of person was he to lead them? He must be even more formidable.
The whole situation had become interesting. He really wished Qing Tiandi was still here, what a pity.
On the other side…
The five Banners of the Nanwu Banner had gathered together. At first glance, there seemed to be only four people, with one person missing.
The five of them sat in a small grove, with a fire burning in the middle, crackling and making sounds.
Luo Hou fanned himself with a folding fan, a faint smile on his face. “The air outside is really refreshing.”
“Yes…” The others responded.
After a minute of silence, Cang Konghong slowly spoke, “Yes…”
The other four didn’t interrupt Cang Kong Hong. They were used to his way of speaking, and it was a form of respect.
Yue Hua was the only female among them. At this moment, she was also dressed in clothes, and under the flickering light of the fire, her delicate face looked particularly beautiful, especially the smile at the corner of her mouth, which was very pleasing.
“How long have we been sealed?” These words came from Bai Gu, as if they were transmitted through the air, extremely eerie!
“Be…en…a long… time…” Scarecrow Kuan Sha said intermittently. His tone seemed a bit dazed, but one shouldn’t underestimate him. Although he stuttered, Kuan Sha’s strength was ranked high.
Don’t underestimate Cang Konghong just because he speaks slowly. His strength is the strongest among the five, followed by Scarecrow Kuan Sha. Yue Hua, made of water, ranks third, Luo Hou is fourth in terms of strength, and Bai Gu made of air is fifth.
Although Bai Gu is ranked fifth, his terrifying power can leave people speechless.
“That’s enough,” Yue Hua said with a soft smile.
The other four paused. It was time to summon the Banner Master!
A gust of wind swept by, extinguishing the bonfire and plunging the surroundings into darkness.
The five stood in a pentagon, forming a formation.
“Summon the power of the heavens!” Yue Hua exclaimed in a tender voice.
“Summon the radiance of the earth!” White Bone spoke with a deep voice.
“Summon the soul of the underground!” Luo Hou said in a low voice.
“Summon…” Cang Konghong shouted, but due to his way of speaking, only one word came out.
“Master… let the holy light… shine upon… the earth again!” Scarecrow Kuan Sha stuttered and shouted loudly.
In the pitch-black sky, a black hole suddenly appeared. The five looked up at the darkness with anticipation in their eyes.
In fact, it was they themselves who sealed the Banner Master. This was not betrayal, but an absolute safety measure.
They had been waiting for this day!
A figure suddenly appeared in the darkness. She seemed to be in a deep slumber and descended slowly.
As the figure descended, her appearance became visible.
It was a young girl, not yet a woman. From her figure, it was evident that she was not tall, probably not even 160 centimeters. Her body seemed to have not fully developed, unlike Yue Hua, who had a well-rounded figure.
Although the young girl’s figure didn’t meet the standard, she had an astonishing beauty in her facial features. While she might not be stunning at first glance, the more you looked, the more beautiful she appeared, and it had an enchanting effect.
The young girl gently lay on the grass, while the five stood respectfully by the side, waiting for the Banner Master to awaken.
After a while, the young girl’s eyebrows trembled slightly.
The five knelt down respectfully and shouted loudly, “We respectfully welcome the return of the Banner Master!”
The young girl suddenly opened her beautiful eyes. They were like blocks of ice, truly breathtaking. Such eyes existed in the world, and they were truly beautiful…
Coupled with her unique facial features, it added to her charm!
The young girl sat up, casting a bewildered gaze around, then looked at her own hands before turning her head to look at the five Banners.
