The Ace Bodyguard

That chilling aura was like the fog that pervaded the deep sea early in the morning. The icy fog enveloped his entire body, and that cold feeling seemed to enter into a person's heart. No wonder Lver said just now that this Night Pearl was classified as yin. Although his words were true, and extremely cold, and very practical for females to cultivate, it was not suitable for males.    

    

The two sides of the secret passage were not man-made nor were they made of bricks. Instead, they were naturally formed. The stone walls on the left and right side of the secret passage were the walls on the belly of the mountain. The surface was very rough and was not neat at all. Due to the dryness and the lack of water, the secret passageway was not wet at all. There were no living things on the walls.    

    

Some of the grayish creatures were suitable for growing in dark caves. As these plants did not have sunlight and could not be used for photosynthesis, they were not big and were also grayish in color. The two of them walked for a long time, but they still did not reach the end of the secret passageway. This secret passageway seemed to be very long, as if it was a long time tunnel.    

    

Who knew how long this secret passageway was, or how long it would take to reach the end. Looking at the endless secret passage in front of them, Wang Xiao was uncertain of himself. Could it be that the two of them wanted to continue walking like this? Right now, they were stuck in a dilemma. They wanted to continue forward, but they didn't know how long the passage ahead would take them or how long they would have to go on.    

    

He wanted to retreat, but he was not willing. After all, he had already entered this place and had been walking for so long. If he retreated now, then he could only say that nothing had happened. Moreover, after thinking that there might be a treasure at the end of the secret passage, Wang Xiao longed to continue onward.    

    

After a short moment of hesitation, Wang Xiao decided to continue moving forward. Even if it was a most dangerous places, or if it was one with a slim chance of survival, one must reach the end of the secret path to see what treasures were inside.    

    

Ta ta ta!    

    

Ta ta ta!    

    

"… …"    

    

Inside the quiet secret passage, the sound of Lver and Wang Xiao's footsteps could be heard. The two people's footsteps were so clear, and so heavy, that each and every footstep could be heard clearly in their hearts. In this secret passageway, it was like a silent world. Everything here was so quiet, so silent that it seemed surreal.    

    

Wang Xiao turned around and glanced at Lver. Under the light of the Night Pearl, Lver's face became extremely pale, just like a piece of Water-ghost Face. It was a good thing that Lver did not know what Wang Xiao was thinking. Otherwise, she would definitely give him a punch in the face.    

    

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lver asked.    

    

If it wasn't for him being clear about Wang Xiao's personality, Lver would have definitely taken a few steps back, or perhaps, thought that Wang Xiao wanted to do those things to him. But because she was very clear about Wang Xiao's personality, Lver knew that Wang Xiao would never do that kind of thing to him, Wang Xiao was not that kind of person.    

    

"Are you afraid I'll eat you?" Wang Xiao asked with a slight smile.    

    

Lver scoffed at him, "What are you saying? I'm not afraid at all, you idiot! Even if I gave you 10 times the guts, you probably wouldn't dare."    

    

felt that Lver was looking down on him too much, to actually say that she did not dare to do so. If it wasn't for the fact that she knew they were in a dangerous and unknown passage, Wang Xiao would definitely have done something to Lver to let her know what would happen if she looked down on him.    

    

"Lver, it's good to have you." Wang Xiao said.    

    

Lver was startled, she did not expect Wang Xiao to say such a thing.    

    

"Idiot, you've only just discovered it." Lver said.    

    

If not for Lver's company, walking alone in this secret passage was indeed a type of torture. It was boring and would cause one's mind to break down. In this quiet secret passage, only Lver accompanied her. He and Wang Xiao walked carefully together, the two of them looked forward with grave expressions, worried that danger might befall them at any moment. Although there might be no traps in this space, there might be other dangers.    

    

Lver saw Wang Xiao looking at him, and said unhappily: "Idiot, don't distract yourself, be careful, do you want to die?" The danger of being in this secret passage was unknown, so Wang Xiao should have to be careful of his surroundings. But he was fine, to actually focus on his own body, could it be that Wang Xiao did not want to live anymore, or was it because he had thought that he had lived for too long?    

    

"What are you afraid of? Aren't I under your protection? As long as you're by my side, I'm fine no matter what danger I face." Wang Xiao laughed.    

    

Tch!    

    

Lver was disdainful: "I don't want to protect a useless idiot like you. If it wasn't for the fact that you are a fool, I wouldn't even want to travel with you."    

    

Wang Xiao thought, could it be that he was truly that bad, that he was truly not worth a penny? Why did Lver always like to strike at him and despise him, as if there was a deep hatred between them? But Wang Xiao was already used to it, it was not the first time anyway.    

    

In truth, I am also a very loyal woman. If you were to encounter any danger to yourself, I will be the first one to escape, and let you be the last one to escape. If something were to happen to you, I will definitely remember you. "    

    

Wang Xiao was embarrassed, this was also called brotherhood, what kind of bullsh * t brotherhood was this. But Wang Xiao also knew, that Lver was only saying it on the surface. If she really met with danger, she would not have acted in such a way, and in the battle of fog area with the Vicious Beast, Lver had attacked her without a care for anything else.    

    

The Vicious Beast was extremely strong, brutal and ferocious. In the moment of life and death, Lver had fearlessly attacked, and in order to help her, she had nearly been severely injured. Therefore, Wang Xiao knew very clearly that she was a woman with a sharp tongue and rotten heart.    

    

The secret passageway was extremely quiet. There was not a single sound or movement. It was as if the secret passageway was narrating to these two people the changes that occurred during the past tens of thousands of years. Wang Xiao and Lver were very close, almost touching shoulders to shoulder.    

    

The two of them did not dare to separate, and they did not dare to be too far apart, afraid that if there was a crisis, they would not be able to help each other in time. To help each other, only if they walked together would they be able to help each other in time.    

    

She was a girl that people loved and hated, a woman that did not mean what she said.    

    

It had been at least a few hours since they had entered the secret passage, but they had not encountered any danger at all. It seemed that Lver's guess was completely correct, people at the level of the Divine Monarch were broad-minded, straightforward, and open, and would definitely not use traps to signal others to hide themselves.    

    

It was precisely because of this personality of the Divine Monarch that when he ruled over the Five Tribes and tens of thousands of tribes, these people were willing to listen to his orders. Even the extremely vicious Zhu Jiuyin was respectful, polite, and admired the Divine Monarch. Even the irritable Thunder God, would not casually kill his entire life after being defeated and persuaded by Divine Monarch. Even though the Divine Monarch was no longer in the world after that, the once irritable Thunder God still remembered his teachings back then, as well as the teachings of his Divine Monarch.    

    

From the secret passage, Wang Xiao could also tell how great Divine Monarch's reputation was, and how upright he was. If it was an ordinary expert, they would definitely set up traps in the secret passage, killing everyone who entered, but Divine Monarch did not do so, he did not want others to die in this secret passage.    

    

The Divine Monarch seemed to have predicted that thousands of years from now, there would probably be many destined people who would enter this place, so he set up some mysterious traps in the secret passage, causing the sealed secret passage to have air and oxygen.    

    

Wang Xiao admired Divine Monarch more and more, and admired him more and more. When Wang Xiao had lowered the sect, it was also because he admired the Divine Monarch. Therefore, he named the sect's order Divine Monarch Sect, and hoped that one day, the Divine Monarch Sect would also live up to its name, and not sully the name of the Divine Monarch.    

    

The Wasteland era was a very chaotic era. During this period, countless tribes were fighting each other and killing each other. The five clans were also constantly fighting large and small battles. Due to the war between the five clans, it caused unrest throughout the great wasteland, and all the tribes there were involved.    

    

This was because the thousands of tribes in the Wasteland, as well as the small nations, were mostly dependent on the Five Great Races. Once the Five Great Races went to war, these tribes would not be able to protect themselves. Just like the current super powers, China, Jin Country, and Big Hsing Country, once these countries started fighting, then it wouldn't be a problem for two countries. Once these super powers started fighting, more and more small countries would be drawn in. Because those small countries could not be neutral, nor could they be neutral, they had to choose their positions, they had to show their attitude, they had to act.    

    

However, during the period of turmoil in the Great Wastelands, although the Five Great Races were attacking each other and the thousands and thousands of tribes in the Great Wastelands were in turmoil, everything was alleviated with the appearance of the Divine Monarch. According to the records, Divine Monarch lived for more than two hundred years, between two hundred and thirty and two hundred and fifty years old. In truth, with the Divine Monarch's supernatural powers, even hundreds, thousands of years wouldn't be a problem. But at that time, a great calamity happened in the Great Wastelands, and this great calamity wasn't something they thought of, but a natural disaster. In the entire Great Wastelands, many strange diseases appeared, spreading like a plague.    

    

In less than a year, the population of the Wasteland fell by a tenth. In order to save the people of the world, Divine Monarch personally tried countless of medicinal herbs. He finally found a way to cure those pestilential viruses, but because he tried too many poisonous plants, it caused him to poison for the last hundred times.    

    

After the death of the Divine Monarch, the experts that usually stood in his way were finally revealed. First was the leader of the Water Clan's Great Wasteland Ten Gods, Zhu Jiuyin.    

    

At that time, the entire Wasteland had fallen into chaos once more. Everyone was in danger, the people were displaced, there was no crowing from the chickens, fierce beasts ran rampant everywhere, and the waters were flooding everywhere. Just as everyone in the Wasteland was living in deep waters, the Yellow Emperor appeared, and this Yellow Emperor was not the Turkish Emperor at that time.    

    

According to some records, the Yellow Emperor was a disciple of the Divine Monarch. Before his death, the Divine Monarch passed down the Five Elements Classic to the Yellow Emperor. The appearance of the Yellow Emperor gave everyone in the Wasteland hope. Everyone believed that the Yellow Emperor would become the second Divine Monarch and he would continue to maintain the order of the Wasteland. From now on, the Wasteland would be peaceful for at least another two hundred years or so.    

    

However, the Yellow Emperor was different. The Yellow Emperor wanted to rule the world, fuse the entire Five Tribes and all the Tribes into one, and from then on, there would be no contempt for him. Without any race, there would be no more wars, and the citizens would no longer be troubled by war.
