LEGEND OF THE DEMON KING.
420. GUEST ARRIVAL.
A little sweat now will save you a lot of bloodshed later! Or you can stop him from following your father's wishes.”.
“Yunhai, stop complaining and follow Steward Tan Wen Hong's schedule!” Tan Yunchang yelled at the boy.
Tan Yunhai's eyes rolled into his skull and fainted.
Before Tan Wen Hong came, his life was still bearable. Now that he's here, he's going to hell.
Tan Wen Hong shook his head …
Meanwhile, at the foot of Blackwind Mountain, stood four tall and dashing figures.
One of them wore a blue robe and a veil, with twin whiskers, and held a light sword.
Others wore scholarly emblems and waved gold fans. His eyes were so calm as if even a burning world would not affect his calmness.
The third man was brash and big, with fiery hair and eyes holding sparks inside.
One glance was enough to tell anyone he was a powder keg ready to blow.
As for the latter, he was unlike the first three. He was twice as wide as a normal man.
From his bulging muscles, one would instantly consider him a body cultivator.
But his narrowed eyes were quite delicate. Standing there, he looked no different from a sturdy mountain.
The four of them watched the four rows of guards and their eyes shone in shock.
“No wonder godfather sent us thousands of miles here to save them!
This place already houses an incredible figure! ” The man in blue looks to the side to ask, “What do you think about this arrangement?”
With a flash, the second man opened his fan and spoke calmly, saying,
“The intricacies of this arrangement are difficult to understand. But as long as a Profound Heaven expert or higher controls them, even the four of us cannot escape! ”
“Blow that up! Then we travel this far without success? They were clearly increasing their defense! ” The red-haired man shouted.
Blue-clothed man scolded, “Third brother, command is command. And they were given by the Marshal himself.
Whether this place is a volcano, or an impenetrable fortress, we still have to enter.
Did you forget the taste of the Marshal's wand when you entered the drunken rave last time?
The red-haired man stuttered but remained silent.
The blue-clothed man nodded, then cupped his hands towards Blackwind Mountain as he shouted,
“Four generals under Marshal Dugu convey their respect to Clan Head Tan!”
His tall voice sounded for miles, straight into Tan Wen Hong's ears.
His ears were piqued, Tan Wen Hong's eyebrows raised, “Why is the War God Dugu, the second of the Four Pillars, sending his men all the way here? Could it..”
“Young lady, take the boy to his training. I'll go see him!” Tan Wen Hong looked towards Tan Yunchang.
He nodded then dragged Tan Yunhai out of his ear. The Marshall of Tianyu might have come, and although there were always surprises, Tan Wen Hong was here to assuage all his worries.
Despite the magnitude of the impending storm, no one could last long in the face of Tan Wen Hong's careful planning.
This belief had developed into a blind faith in the man, a belief that was deeply rooted in the hearts of all the Tan clan.
Dragged away and through glittering eyes, Tan Yunhai's last shout at Tan Wen Hong was, uh,
“Sister Tan Wen Hong, you alone ruined my life!”
“You twerp who has never grown hair there, what destruction?” Tan Wen Hong teased.
He turned to look down at Blackwind Mountain and took slow steps down the hill.
Hum
With a ripple, the Poison Dragon Array separated. Tan Wen Hong walked in front of the four while measuring each of them, “I am the servant of the Tan clan, Tan Wen Hong. And mr..”
Greetings, I'm Dugu Feng!” The man in blue cupped his hands.
The man with the fan also said, “I'm Dugu Lin!”
“Dugu Huo!” The red-haired fat man muttered an answer.
As for the last and biggest man, “Dugu Shan!”
“Wind, forest, fire, mountain? Four Tigers Tianyu?” Tan Wen Hong cried as he began to make calculations in his mind.
He had heard many stories about the famous Four Pillars. The second of the Four Pillars, Dugu Zhantian, was married to his military career.
He had no children, but four godchildren with great courage and strength.
Given their talent, they did not lack the slightest of geniuses who were raised within the seven houses. Maybe even more than them.
The four of them had repeatedly provided a great military service that earned the people's gratitude in the form of the title of the Four Tianyu Tigers.
Dugu Feng, the oldest, was as fast as the wind and excelled in the surprise attack – was nicknamed Storm Tiger or lightning tiger.
Dugu Lin, the second, as gentle as the forest, memorized the art of war. Due to his peace of mind, he was known as the Squatting Forest Tiger.
Dugu Huo, the third one, was burning like fire, and was also furious. Because of his bravery, he was known as Raging Tiger.
Dugu Shan, the fourth, was firm as a mountain, hard as a rock. Proficient in defense, he was known as Mountain Tiger!
No fourth attempt ever failed. They almost matched the God of War in their fame.
Time and again, the emperor expressed his desire to elevate them to the rank of commander,
and joined Dugu Zhantian into the Five Marshal Tianyu, only to refuse each time.
They would rather stay as Marshal Dugu's tiger, than alone as the four lion kings of Tianyu Empire!
They were always inseparable from Dugu Zhantian. If the four of them arrived, then Dugu Zhantian would definitely exist…
Checking around, clear mind
Tan Wen Hong was easily noticed by Dugu Lin who patted the fan on his palm,
“Steward Tan Wen Hong, no need for you to see. We're the only ones here.
Our orders took us thousands of miles to save you all. Marshal Dugu and his troops are a bit late, I'm worried. ”
“Oh, so Marshal Dugu adorns us with his presence!” Tan Wen Hong nodded and laughed,
“I understand. Then I will tell the young lady and the young master in a hurry. You can come back!”
Tan Wen Hong waved as he left. All four were shocked, even very shocked.
The four of them were praised as the Four Tianyu Tigers everywhere in the empire, even the seven houses were bound to show respect to them.
But here, in this remote Tan clan, not only were they not allowed to enter, the door was slammed into their faces.
To top it all off, he even said he would tell someone.
Isn't this a little too absurd?
Anger has stirred in the hearts of the four. Dugu Huo, who had a famously fiery temperament, cursed on the spot,
“What kind of servant are you acting so unreasonably?
We came all the way to help you but not only did you not show appreciation,
You even slammed the door behind you. That's no way to treat guests!”
“Tuest, you say?”
Tan Wen Hong furrowed his brows, turning his head to look at them more closely,
