Towards Eternity
Ch 526's. The Arrival of the Red Devil College Chairman

The news of Weng Lou's return immediately shocked the entire palace, even reaching the capital in just a few hours.

Weng Lou, a hero who had valiantly liberated the Fanrong Empire from the rule of the ruthless Emperor Shengshi Huangdi and also mercilessly punished his followers. The name Weng Lou has been very famous throughout Fanrong Island, even in remote villages. Everyone who heard his name would glorify his name, especially those who had Weng Lou freed from slavery in the Slums.

With the news of his reappearance, the entire capital was in an uproar, and many people gathered in front of the current palace entrance gate and forced their way in to be able to meet him.

Meanwhile, in the now empty throne room. Liu Ning and Li Min were standing behind the throne seat where Weng Lou had previously appeared. But there was nothing there other than an ancient relief that had been passed down for generations by the Fanrong Empire. Previously the relief had been smashed into pieces because of the actions of Weng Lou, but now the relief had returned to its original appearance as when Weng Lou descended the underground passage behind it. Liu Ning who looked in disbelief, repeatedly asked Li Min, regarding what had actually happened. However, Li Min herself who was in the room at that time could only say what she had said before to Liu Ning.

"How could he appear in the throne room? That's bullshit! Dozens of soldiers patrolled outside the throne room, and he just appeared? You want me to believe that information?" Liu Ning frowned.

"Puter-I mean Emperor, I'm telling you the truth. Hero Lou appeared after a huge explosion sounded from within this throne room. If you don't trust me, you can behead me right now." Li Min respectfully bowed his knees before Liu Ning and gave his sword to the woman before him.

Seeing that, the frown on Liu Ning's forehead became more and more obvious, "What did you say? Get rid of that sword! You are my number 1 bodyguard. I will not punish you for such a matter! Stand up!"

Li Min quickly sheathed the sword in his hand, and got up to his feet.

"Just forget about this, there's a more important problem. Is all food cooked and ready to be served?" Liu Ning turned her body and asked seriously.

Li Min nodded and said, "Already, the maids are currently taking him to the dining table. You and your Mother can come immediately to the banquet hall, I'll tell Hero Lou and his student."

"En! Goody! Then let's go. Don't let Hero Lou feel like the preparations we've made are taking too long"

Liu Ning and Li Min walked out of it, while the soldiers standing guard in front of the entrance of the room, immediately closed the door tightly.

In the room where Weng Lou was at the moment.

Weng Lou, who had finished cleaning himself, was busy slathering the medicines in both hands skillfully without a single person there helping him.

Being used to being alone, Weng Lou only asked Li Min for some herbs and asked her to bring them along with the tools to refine the herbs she requested.

Although the Book of Eternity had been taken away, the knowledge possessed by Weng Lou remained within his head. He could easily determine which plants had high effectiveness in treating his injuries. Weng Lou was lucky because all the plants he had asked Li Min were on Fanrong Island, otherwise he would have to rely on other herbs that had lower effectiveness.

Carefully, Weng Lou applied a homemade ointment to the wound on his right hand. Only now, Weng Lou realized that the wounds on his hands were very serious. Previously he could barely feel anything from these two hands as it had swung him for ten days without stopping.

A very stinging pain could be felt, but his facial expression remained calm and continued to smear the ointment. Finished smearing the entire wound on his hand, he deftly closed all his wounds using the bandage given by Li Min without the slightest difficulty.

Finished treating his hand, Weng Lou instantly let his body collapse onto his bed and began to close his eyes. He was not sleeping just resting his eyes and recovering energy on his body.

*tock! Geck!* The sound of knocking on the door rang out, and Weng Lou's eyes immediately opened, and he turned to look at the door of his room.

"Hero Lou, all the food has been cooked. You can come to the banquet room now. I'll take you and your students." Li Min's voice sounded from behind the door.

Weng Lou did not answer. Rising from his bed, he immediately walked over and opened the door, revealing the figure of Li Min standing upright in front of the door. Weng Lou's eyes looked at his figure, and then turned to look at Du Zhe who was behind the man.

Waving his hand, Du Zhe looked delighted to see Weng Lou, "Teacher!"

"En! Let's go." The door was closed and they went to the banquet hall, where the banquet was to be held.

In the banquet hall.

Li Min calmly opened the door of the room and walked in. Behind him were the figures of Weng Lou and Du Zhe following him.

Li Min immediately invited Weng Lou and Du Zhe to sit on the chairs that had been prepared for the two of them.

Before long, Liu Ning along with a middle-aged woman who was none other than her mother walked into the room and saw Weng Lou and Du Zhe who had come first.

"Hero Lou! It's so good to see you again!" Liu Ning saluted Weng Lou with a sincere heart.

"Hero Lou, let me introduce you to this child's mother. As a mother, I thank her profusely for saving her from suffering, and as the wife of the previous emperor, I also thank her for freeing us from Shengshi Huangdi, she said, the shameless criminal who has caused misery all over Fanrong Island."

The middle-aged woman suddenly knelt to the ground, and touched her head to the floor. Weng Lou's eyebrows shot up looking at that, "Hm? You don't have to do that. It is only natural that I do the right thing and punish those criminals! What else has my disciple suffered because of the bondage he has committed."

Mother Liu Ning immediately raised her head and once again thanked her. The two of them immediately sat down at the dining table with Weng Lou and Du Zhe.

After they were all there, food and drink were immediately served before them. Meat, vegetables and fresh fruits were served at the table.

Weng Lou without hesitation immediately took the grilled meat and ate it, while Du Zhe also ate the food served. For the past ten days, she had been eating in this place together with Liu Ning and her mother. Although at the first time he still felt a bit awkward, but after a few days he started to get used to it.

Liu Ning and her mother also ate, while Li Min stood upright near the entrance, just in case something unwanted happened.

Half an hour later, they had all finished eating, and Weng Lou immediately retreated to get some rest and Liu Ning invited her over. Du Zhe also did not ask his teacher anything, and let him rest in peace.

Back in his room, Weng Lou's body immediately fell onto the bed and he fell asleep instantly. All the tired and tired that he had endured for these ten days he was finally able to let go and he rested quietly.

Since Weng Lou chose to rest, Du Zhe decided to continue his training. He ran out of the palace and kept running until he came out of the capital. He also reached the location where he had trained before, seen the figure of the Black Ape Fighter still in that place and was sitting quietly staring at Du Zhe who had just arrived.

"Hm? You're back soon too. Have you asked your teacher for advice?" asked the Black Ape Fighter and was immediately replied with a headband by Du Zhe.

"No, the teacher looks very tired. I don't want to interrupt her, and let her rest. He looked like he had just come home from a fierce battle for days without stopping." Du Zhe recalled the time he saw the injuries on both of Weng Lou's hands earlier as well as the large eye bags under his eyes.

He could not guess when the last time Weng Lou rested until it produced an eye bag that big.

"I can feel that his Qi and soul force have disappeared somewhere, I'm sure his strength has been reduced by more than half" muttered Black Ape Fighter.

Du Zhe who could not hear clearly the muttering of the Black Ape The fighter chose to ignore him and started training.

Unlike before, Du Zhe this time decided not to run around the capital. He had realized what he was doing was a stupid thing and he was ashamed of himself for having done it.

She started by doing some stretches, before then she started to work her hand muscles with push ups, and trained her abdominal muscles with****up. Finally, he tied the rope to his legs which were then connected to a stone the size of his body and began to pull it up to a hundred meters to train his leg strength.

*buk....* Du Zhe's body fell limply in the grass. His breathing was irregular and he looked at the dark afternoon sky.

"If what you're actually doing is still excessive for the 1-day training portion, but you're not too bad either" Black Ape Brawler commented to Du Zhe.

"Hahahaha.it's still not enough. My muscles only look good on the outside, but in fact the strength I have is not much." Du Zhe rejected the praise by waving at the Black Ape Fighter.

The two of them were silent and stared at the afternoon sun for a while and then the Black Ape Fighter got up and was followed by Du Zhe.

"Go back, it's dark" said the Black Ape Fighter who then walked into a deeper part of the forest.

"Ah, fine! You careful! I'm good about you!"

Du Zhe then went back to the palace and was immediately greeted by the soldiers who were on patrol, "Young Master, you're back."

"Yes, tell the Emperor I won't go to dinner with them."

"Alright," the soldiers immediately continued their patrol and left Du Zhe who had gone inside the palace.

Du Zhe walked through the hallways of the palace casually like it was his own home. He quickly reached his room and went inside.

With a single move, he undid all his clothes and immediately cleaned himself up and changed his clothes with new ones. After that, he lay down on the bed and began to fall asleep.

***

At the foot of the hills, the rice field stretches wide and is planted by rice that is still green and young.

A young man with a headband that has the symbol of the Weng family was humming beautifully and busy planting rice on an empty rice field.

There was not a surge of Deep Power, Qi, nor any Soul Power from the young man's body, which signified he was an ordinary human, not a Martial Practitioner. But the muscles protruding from both his hands and his huge body said something else.

Usually, Martial Practitioners who were at the Foundation Base level 1 to 2 did not have any Inner Energy at all in themselves, but still had Deep Energy in their Dantian without them noticing. But this young man with a warm smile on his face did not have the slightest surge of Deep Power.

From the edge of the rice field, a young woman called out to the young man and waved her hand. The young man immediately turned his head, and looked with a serious look at the young lady.

"What?! It wasn't that their nest had moved to the other side of the mountain range?! How could anyone show up here?!" The young man cried out in disbelief. But he immediately released the pottery on his back which contained the rice seedlings he was about to plant and placed them in the ground.

His right leg tightened, and he jumped up high and landed in front of the young woman who called out to him.

The woman was not surprised in the least and immediately answered the young man's question, "One of the hunters found a Human-Faced Tarantula nest not far from the village and took something from inside the nest. The hunter thought that the nest was no longer inhabited, thus angering the Human-Faced Tarantula and attacking the village!"

The reply from the woman immediately made the young man's forehead wrinkle. He nodded in understanding, then immediately hugged the woman tightly around her waist.

"Holding on, I'll get us to the village quickly" he said seriously.

*Bum!!!*

Like a bullet darting fast, the young man ran down the road on the outskirts of the rice field, and then within a minute they immediately arrived at the village which was approximately 4 kilometers from where the young man had been before.

The young man stopped running, and arrived at the village which was currently in a state of ravage. Residents scattered and ran to save their lives, while in the middle of the village, the, a giant spider was standing and eating a middle-aged man whose body was half-living because it was eaten by the huge spider.

"Village Head!!" The woman who was with the young man screamed hysterically and immediately turned her face away, unable to see the incident any longer.

"You wait here, and keep your eyes around. I'm worried if there's more than one Human-Faced Tarantula around here" the young man said and began to step forward.

The Human-faced Tarantula who was in the middle of the village hissed towards the young man and exuded a terrifying soul force. From the radiance on his body, the strength of the Tarantula was no less than peak 3rd stage Soul Unification.

"You've picked the wrong place, you son of a bitch. This is my village, where I was born and raised, if anyone dares to mess around here, then he will accept the consequences!" The young man exclaimed furiously and removed his headband that covered his entire forehead earlier.

Now his face looked clearer, and that face was Weng Lou's face. Not similar, but the exact same just different ages.

The young man immediately jumped up and lunged towards the Human-Faced Tarantula and was immediately greeted with one of the tarantula's large legs.

*Shuu!!!*

The large, sturdy leg displayed a pointed angle and resembled a sharp object towards the young man's body. However, before the two met, the young man had clenched his hands hard, and punched the tarantula's leg to make it look for a moment.

"YAHHHHH!!!"

The furious hissing of the tarantula echoed loudly. He opened his mouth and spewed out a ball of liquid that gave off a very pungent smell towards the young man's arrival.

"Hm! A futile action!"

Very quickly, the young man made a cutting move, and said the giant wind immediately made the ball of liquid split open and made the young man able to pass through it without any problems. The young man had now arrived in front of the tarantula's head, and his right leg immediately kicked his head from the side.

*SIR! PSSHHHH!!!!*

The Human-Faced Tarantula's body was thrown to the side for approximately fifty meters, and made the houses it passed through to be destroyed unceremoniously. The body of the tarantula was upside down and revealed a terrible human face at the bottom of the tarantula's abdomen.

The human face seemed to be in great pain and suffering On the edges there were four folds that indicated his age of four hundred years.

Before it could counterattack, the young man had already shot back and then punched out with all his might the tarantula head and had it smashed and purple-colored blood immediately splashed in all directions. The tarantula's headless body wriggled and continued to rebel. The damage done to the village grew, and watching that, the young man took action immediately.

He began to pluck out the eight legs of the tarantula, and made it finally die completely.

The citizens who had previously run in fear of escaping, now stopped and saw the now-dead Human-Faced Tarantula at the hands of the young man.

"That's Lou! Lou has already killed the Human-Faced Tarantula!!!" a young man who contained the same as the young man who killed the Human-Faced Tarantula pointed at him and exclaimed happily.

The other citizens immediately walked over and thanked and thanked the young man called Lou.

In the distance, the figure of a young man who was none other than Weng Lou watched all those events in silence and put on a serious facial expression. The strength displayed by the young man called by Lou was far above the strength possessed by him, and he had managed to kill a Human-faced Tarantula that possessed strength equivalent to Martial Practitioners who were at the peak stage 3 Soul Unification realm!

Weng Lou could not help but sigh after seeing that.

The young man was obviously Weng Lou, but it was Weng Lou who was in his previous life. Weng Lou did not know exactly he was the life of existence, but clearly this one was just an ordinary human being born without a Dantian.

"If without Dantian it can already gain such great strength, what kind of hard training does it go through?" Weng Lou felt his head start to hurt at this moment.

To be able to obtain the great power that Weng Lou had now, he had to practice forging and swinging the special hammer made by Kun Ling using the help of his Inner Force. Yet this one of hers had gained great power without her Dantian since birth, which meant that she had trained much longer and harder than him now.

Weng Lou began to understand why he could see the fragments of his life, "I don't know if this was Zhi Juan or what, uh, but clearly by looking at this piece of memory I could tell that even without Dantian I could still get stronger even without Qi. I think Zhi Juan wanted to see me suffer like this. But good as well, I was able to start focusing myself on body strengthening exercises. I want to see how far the limits of the human body can get its natural physical strength."

Weng Lou nodded while rubbing his chin. Before long, the surrounding view became blurry and dark. He began to feel his body becoming heavy and faint voices could be heard.

!!!!

Both of Weng Lou's eyes opened and stared at the dark-looking ceiling of the room. Weng Lou's forehead shriveled and he stared at the surroundings that turned out to be in his room.

"Ah, it's in the room, isn't it?" He got up from his place and started to sit down.

His eyes looked at his two hands that were still rolled up by bandages. There was no more pain he felt, and his entire body felt as if it contained great strength, and his stamina had fully recovered.

"Hmm.not bad. I only realized after losing all my Qi, it turned out that the natural healing of my body far exceeded that of an ordinary human." The bandage in his hand immediately opened and revealed both of his hands that seemed to have no scars at all.

He clenched his hands hard and smiled slightly.

*BAMM!!!* Suddenly, an explosive sound rang out from outside the room Weng Lou and Weng Lou immediately rushed out of his room and hurriedly searched for the source of the explosive sound.

Above the palace gate at this time.

The figure of a bearded old man was hovering above a sword that looked extremely beautiful. The man stared intently at the soldiers below him.

"Call out your new Emperor here! Tell him, the Red Devil College Chairman came to take Heishin City and the White Rice Metal mine in that city!" The man's voice echoed and trembled the soldiers who were on standby under him.

The soldiers gulped when they found out the identity of the old man.

The Red Devil College was the main force that became the backer of Shengshi Huangdi that allowed him to stage a coup and become the emperor. The power of the Red Devil College was enough to make the soldiers of the Fanrong Empire seem like little children in the eyes of others, and currently their chairman who was the strongest person of the Red Devil College had now appeared in front of all of them.

Seeing no response from the soldiers, the man thought that they had underestimated him and he began to snort angrily.

From his hand, another sword appeared and grasped it tightly. The sword began to emit a faint golden light, and then the old man swung the sword towards the soldiers below.

*Shuaa!!!* An energy attack was immediately created and shot towards the soldiers.

*BAMM!!!* Explosion is created, the soldiers who were hit by the attack instantly die and their bodies are scattered in all directions.

"Hmp! I count to ten! If your Emperor doesn't come out, then I will carry out a massacre in this place!" He snorted furiously and a killing aura immediately burst out from his body, afflicting the bodies of the soldiers and making them all breathless.

"Ah...finally her leader appeared as well. I had a chance to think about how I could get out of Fanrong Island without using Qi, but it seemed like I could handle the matter now."

From the entrance of the palace that had been destroyed due to the old man's previous attack, Weng Lou's figure walked out and put on his smile when he saw the figure of the old man hovering over the palace gate.

The old man looked at Weng Lou with a serious look, but he found nothing from his body. From what he saw, Weng Lou was only an ordinary human being, but how could he speak without any manners to her?

"Who are you? And where is Emperor Liu Ning?" ask her in a cold voice.

"Hm? Who me? Ahahahaha.I am your new master."
