Chapter 1379 (A Perfect Match)
The boss felt relieved after hearing the apology. The people around immediately applauded, of course, applauding for the yellow-armoured warriors!
Hearing the enthusiastic applause, Chang Qing and Chang Hen pretended to remain calm, but their faces were completely lost.
Luckily, no one here knew their identities. If they did, and this gossip got out, they would lose all face.
"What are you still standing there for! Let's go!" Chang Qing coldly ordered. Dealing with such matters was hard to stomach. They only hoped to rescue the children later and then plan how to settle the score.
Qin Xuewen and the others stood on the side, not saying anything, feeling like there might be another purpose.
Leaving the snack street, Chang Hen spoke in a low voice, "Chang Qing, did you notice the strength of those patrolling just now?"
"No, but they gave off a very fierce feeling," Chang Qing said in a low voice.
"And a feeling like they're not human," Chang Hen added.
"Yes, the Voidless Empire is a bit weird. We need to be cautious," Chang Qing said.
Both of them looked serious. Jiu Ye was the same. The others seemed relaxed; after all, it was just an empire.
The powerhouse of the north, so what? In front of the Broken Meridian Sect and the Divine Scripture Academy, they were like an ant. There was no way to win, and their retreat earlier was just for a better rescue mission.
Although it couldn't be called elusive, it was done openly.
Following the crowd, everyone slowly entered the execution ground. Inside, Chang Qing felt a faint sound in his ears.
The entire execution ground was filled with a strong gloom, but it was shielded by an aura, preventing these souls from leaving.
This method was truly heartless!
For ordinary people, it was imperceptible, but for powerful Overlords, they could feel it well. With the use of special techniques, they could even see countless souls floating above the execution ground.
"The emperor of the Voidless Empire is truly ruthless," someone couldn't help but say.
Long Aotian didn't express any opinions. One event couldn't be judged just by the present situation; it was essential to consider what these souls had done before receiving such punishment.
To ordinary people, it might be invisible, but for supremes, it was easy to perceive. If they used a special technique, they could even witness countless souls floating above the execution ground.
"The emperor of the Voidless Empire is truly ruthless," someone couldn't help but say, using the term "heartless" to describe it.
Long Aotian didn't express any opinions. One event couldn't be judged just by the present situation; it was essential to consider what these souls had done before receiving such punishment.
According to the numbers provided on the tickets in their hands, everyone took their seats one by one, as if they were watching a play.
An execution ground was actually made so unique. Looking around at the crowd, they were holding... what? Drinking water that made you burp? What was in that big barrel? It looked delicious.
Then they looked at their own hands; there was nothing...
"What are they holding?" Chang Qing asked in a low voice.
"Dean, let me go and ask," Long Aotian said.
Long Aotian smiled, "Dean, these things they're holding are called cola and popcorn."
"Do you know about these things?" Chang Hen asked.
"Uh... I just saw them at the snack street just now."
Chang Hen turned to his subordinates and said, "Go buy some and try."
"Yes!"
Four or five people stood up to buy snacks. Jiu Ye felt like he was watching a movie.
You're here to rescue people; can you put the food aside first? It's better to be serious about this.
After a while, each person had a cup of cola, with ice cubes in it!
Paired with popcorn, it was simply a masterpiece.
"Burp..." Chang Qing couldn't help but burp. Looking at the drink called cola in his hand, after drinking it... it felt so refreshing. The entire throat felt like it had been touched by something ticklish, giving a feeling of satisfaction from the bottom of the heart.
This was more satisfying than any tea he had drunk before.
‘Damn it, I can't stop!’
"This feeling... it's like going back to the past," Long Aotian burped and couldn't help but mutter.
This was the taste of home. He had been here for almost thirteen years, and today he had truly tasted the taste of home.
Back then, he even wanted to settle down here. If he had persisted back then...
He really didn't know how to describe it. So, every choice has consequences. Life is spent in constant decision-making.
Even Qi Xuewen recalled the past, watching a movie, drinking cola, and his thoughts surged.
Shaking his head, he didn't need these thoughts. He was suppressed there; only here could he unleash his abilities.
The execution ground gradually filled up, at least two hundred thousand people had sat down!
The surroundings were adorned with shiny magical tools, radiating white light in the dark night, illuminating the execution ground.
For the people of the Voidless Empire, this was somewhat novel. After all, the previous executions were all carried out during the day, but today, it was set for the evening. The lighting effect was quite appropriate.
Chang Qing and Chang Hen also learned something. Such magical tools could be operated in this way, and in the future, when the academy held competitions, holding them at night would be a good choice.
Suddenly! All the lights from the magical tools gathered at the entrance of the execution ground!
The entire crowd erupted in cheers!
What was the feeling of two hundred thousand people shouting? It would definitely make the blood boil.
But what puzzled the two big shots was, this was the execution ground! Why were these people so crazy?
The establishment of the execution ground was originally meant to deter. With a few deterrents, it seemed to have turned into a weird festival. Everyone seemed eager to see the downfall of evildoers and then tell their families that life is precious.
With a swish!
The iron door at the entrance of the execution ground was opened!
Chang Qing and Chang Hen put down the popcorn in their hands, feeling that the children should have appeared.
These silly kids, they should have personally gone earlier; maybe they wouldn't have done such a foolish thing.
The children didn't come out, but the yellow-armoured warriors did.
The sound of metal rubbing against armour filled the air, creating an atmosphere of solemnity and killing intent!
The entire venue instantly fell silent, a silence more effective than any other.
Chang Hen and others could feel that everyone was carrying a sense of respect, even awe, and some even showed fear.
The yellow-armoured warriors lined up along the side!
Then, the creature that made Chang Qing and Chang Hen fearful appeared!
A skeleton, dressed in golden armour, walked out. The cold and arrogant demeanour made everyone hold their breath.
People knew that the Imperial Family employed individuals, including those from different races.
"This skeleton!" Chang Qing looked at the Death Assassin in horror.
Chang Hen was also unsure. This skeleton gave him a feeling... very similar... very similar.
But the only difference was that this skeleton seemed like a younger brother.
The previous skeleton was the big brother.
Long Aotian and Jiu Ye, sitting nearby, were also surprised.
Isn't this... Teacher?
He disappeared suddenly back then... How could he appear here?
