Crossing to the Future, it's Not Easy to Be a Man Chapter 1338

Just as everyone thought the 7th Bugle Call would turn into a ghost ship, an anomaly happened that blew everyone's mind.

What they saw was a huge swirling black hole appearing behind Ling Lan's back. The black hole could be seen getting bigger and bigger. As it became bigger, a strong suction force began to come out of the black hole. In the end, the entire s.p.a.ce behind Ling Lan warped into the shape of a funnel.

 “What's that?” Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

 Bai Nuo was closest to Ling Lan so he had a clear look of how strong the suction force was. If his domain concept didn't cement him to the ground, he suspected that he might be sucked into that hole.

 Angel Zhi looked at the weird scene behind Ling Lan intently. His golden eyes started shining. He seemed to be looking at something.

 After trying to inspect the black hole, his expression turned twisted as he shut his eyes in pain. A drop of blood began to flow down from the corners of his eyes.

Midnight Rider, who was standing beside him, asked in surprise, “What happened to you?”

 “I wanted to see what his domain concept is but I failed. Not only that, I even received a backlash.” Angel Zhi smiled bitterly as he used his domain concept to heal the broken capillaries in his eyes.

 After healing it, he opened his eyelids slowly, revealing the now dull golden eyes. It looked like this backlash wasn't as simple as he said.

 “Are you alright now?” The Midnight Rider asked in concern.

 “I'm fine. It's just a small injury.” Angel Zhi wouldn't answer him honestly. His relationship with Midnight Rider might seem good on the surface but no one knew if they would draw their sword against each other the next second. They might be friends today and enemies tomorrow. Thus, Angel Zhi was used to being vigilant.

 “We can confirm that the man isn't simple. He has the right to be arrogant,” Angel Zhi continued.

 The strange domain concept was enough to earn him a position in the Lawless Lands.

 “It feels like the s.p.a.ce domain concept.” On the other side, Bai Nuo made his prediction out loud.

“That's impossible. Besides that person from the central region, I've never heard of another person having the s.p.a.ce domain concept.” Someone beside him refuted instantly. He didn't believe that this irritating fellow was such a powerful person.

 “Not hearing it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. If White Monarch dared to a.s.sign him here, he must have some outstanding ability.” Bai Nuo felt that his a.n.a.lysis was right. Without this heaven-defying domain concept, he wouldn't have the guts to fight with Lord Gen.

 Everyone in the Lawless Lands knew that all the 13 Lords were very close to reaching the imperial realm. No, they might already be an imperial realm formidable warrior. They just didn't want to be noticed by the various nations so they didn't reveal their true might.

As an imperial realm formidable warrior, White Monarch definitely knew this too. Hence, he wouldn't send this young man if he wasn't capable enough to fight on-par with the 13 Lords. Well, unless he wanted to kill this young man using someone else's hands. But, from the looks of it, it didn't seem like the case.

 White Monarch was someone with a high status in the mercenary world. Was there a need for him to send him here to get killed? The answer was obvious. This young man was a truly powerful person. He wasn't an ignorant young man who came to seek death in the Lawless Lands.

 Lord Gen frowned slightly when he saw this swirling black hole. He commanded his poisonous bugs to get close to Ling Lan to deduce what her domain concept was. When they reached around three metres away from Ling Lan, his poisonous bugs got sucked into the hole behind her.

“s.p.a.ce domain concept.” Compared to the uncertain crowd, Lord Gen immediately knew what Ling Lan's domain concept was.

 It was actually this troublesome domain concept!

 Lord Gen complained secretly about his bad luck. He wasn't able to deal with this legendary heaven-defying domain concept within a short period of time unless he revealed his ultimate trump card. Otherwise, he would be helpless here.

 Lord Gen was a decisive person. When he realized that he couldn't kill Ling Lan, he clenched his fist and the poisonous bugs obediently climbed back into his body. In a blink of an eye, the insects had all disappeared from the deck. It seemed as though they never appeared before.

 “Hahaha, what a promising youth.” A bright and clear voice was heard.

 Bai Nuo's eyes lit up. He retracted his domain concept and kneeled down respectfully. “Lord Zhen.”

 “Lord Zhen.” Everyone except Lord Gen and Ling Lan kneeled down to welcome Lord Zhen too.

 A middle-aged man with long silver hair in a purple gown appeared in front of everyone. The smile on his face lightened the tense atmosphere.

 Lord Gen sneered when he saw Lord Zhen. He flicked his coat unhappily and said, “What is a lazy b.u.m like you doing here?”

 “If you took the effort to come here, then I should be here too, right?” Lord Gen's bad att.i.tude didn't affect Lord Zhen's mood. He continued smiling as he talked.

 Lord Zhen turned to look at Ling Lan. He said gently, “Are you the person sent by Brother White Monarch? What a promising youth. It looks like White Monarch groomed an amazing disciple.”

 ‘Lord Zhen!' a thought flashed through Ling Lan's mind and the black hole behind her disappeared instantly as she kneeled down on one knee and cupped her hands together. Her att.i.tude was vastly different from when she was greeting Lord Gen. Her posture was that of a junior greeting his elder.

 This difference in treatment made Lord Gen even more furious. However, he couldn't do anything to Ling Lan as Ling Lan's s.p.a.ce domain concept was hard to deal with, and with Lord Zhen here too, he was even more helpless. Lord Zhen was treating Ling Lan as his junior so he had to give Lord Zhen some face.

 The feeling of not being able to kill the person he wanted made him frustrated. He turned and glared at Ji Ming before shouting, “What a bunch of trash! Hurry up and go back, you disgrace!”

 Ji Ming was quite a famous old man in the world of the Lawless Lands. So, when he heard his lord scolding him in public, his face turned red from embarra.s.sment. However, he didn't dare to show any signs of anger so he just put down his head and agreed obediently. Soon, he brought everyone from Lord Gen's faction, including Zuo Ming, out of this place.

 “You're lucky this time. Don't let me see you again.” After giving the warning, Lord Gen left without a trace.

 Lord Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly. “Ignore him, Lord Gen's personality is just that irritating. Fortunately, intent to kill you was not set in stone. If not, it will be hard to clear up the situation because of your brash att.i.tude just now.”

 “Lan Xiao acted rashly this time,” Ling Lan lowered her head and accepted the scolding.

 “So you're from the Blue lineage…” Lord Zhen was enlightened. “But, Queen Blue has always been calm and thorough… ah, forget it. Things already happened. There's no use talking about it now. But, you must be careful in the future. Don't visit Lord Gen's territory. He's a narrow-minded person.”

 ‘Blue lineage? Queen Blue?' Ling Lan felt that she had accidentally struck the jackpot. She just wanted to use her mother's surname and her father's name as a last remembrance of them. This was an unexpected surprise.

 After reminding Ling Lan out of goodwill, Lord Zhen turned and told the leaders of the other factions, “This is my brother, White Monarch's beloved disciple, Lan Xiao. Please take care of him in the future.”

 “Don't worry, Lord Zhen.”

 “We will, we will.”

 “We welcome Brother Lan Xiao anytime.”

 Everyone made their promise to Lord Zhen. Since Lord Zhen had already spoken, everyone was willing to give him some face.
