Night Without End

Chapter 1539: Chapter 624: From Enemy to Uncle (Part 3)

"This is really... ridiculous!" Even the aloof Wang Pan couldn’t help but sigh repeatedly.

"Haha..." Qi Lin laughed heartily, without a hint of sympathy.

Yun Wangshu stared blankly ahead, his emotions stirring. Could it be that Zheng Guang has a close relationship with a Great Saint? Does he have another identity?

Nearby, there was a clamor.

At this moment, Zhen Gui was nearly petrified. It wasn’t until Zhou Tian smacked the back of his head that he snapped back to reality.

His heart was about to shatter. He had promised to make the madman bow down, but instead, he himself was killed in the Forbidden Land.

Why did he invite his uncle? To support him, defeat the madman on the spot, and gain face, teaching him that there’s always someone stronger and there’s always a higher heaven.

But now, he was so embarrassed he couldn’t stand to be here.

Zhen Gui anticipated a memorable scene would be born today, but he didn’t expect himself to be a part of it.

Moreover, damn it, he was so negative, so miserable, publicly gaining an uncle who was going to perform a grand gesture for this enemy.

"Ahh..." He screamed internally, unable to bear this kind of shock.

Others might say those who offend my family, even if far away, must be executed. For him, it became even if far away, they must become uncles.

Zhen Gui’s face was ashen, his humiliation in front of the crowd was overwhelming, and his mental state was about to collapse.

"Hurry up!" Zhou Tian grasped his shoulder, making a creaking sound.

Zhen Gui was nearly driven mad, thinking it’s better to be killed than humiliated.

He couldn’t understand why this happened. The psychological difference between expectation and reality was too great.

A grandiose questioning resulted in his own social death on the spot. He really wanted to bash his head against a stone pillar and pretend to faint.

Zhen Gui tried to salvage his face, saying, "Little uncle, can we each call each other separately?"

Zhou Tian scrutinized him and said, "Wanna get hit? This is my brother, and you’re still not convinced? Do you want to be of the same generation as us?"

Zhen Gui’s face turned earthy, his body trembled with anger, truly feeling hopeless. Countless eyes were now upon him, and he really wanted to quit and run away.

But Zhou Tian held him down by the shoulder, locking him in place, saying, "This is your fifth uncle. Getting to know him early is of great benefit to you."

Zhen Gui caught the detail in this sentence, his heart trembling with a guess, asking, "Why the fifth uncle?"

Zhou Tian replied, "We swore brotherhood together, he ranks fifth."

Zhen Gui’s eyes widened, asking, "Is he part of the small group sworn with Mu Shiniang, Taiyi, and the others?"

"Of course, your fifth uncle is also a Great Saint."

Previously, Zhen Gui was stubborn, wanting to endure but not losing face, but now... he was utterly lost.

The madman is also someone who achieved the Great Saint title? Well... that doesn’t seem like a problem anymore.

Zhen Gui kept repeating "Great Saint" in his heart, trying to get past that hurdle.

Even if at the moment, he felt awkward, he couldn’t help but lower his head.

"Fifth uncle!" He shouted.

In the distance, the clamor disappeared, plunging the area into an eerie silence.

Because many people overheard their conversation.

Initially, everyone suspected they heard wrong and wanted to confirm with those around them.

"Zheng Guang has... Great Saint potential?"

"He is one of the Five Great Saints?"

"That’s what Zhou Tian said!"

"How is this possible? The madman is only in his twenties, yet he has earned this title? Is it I who have gone mad, or has this world turned chaotic?"

In an instant, the place was in uproar.

Many were shocked, inconceivably, they had once highly appraised Zheng Guang, but did not expect him to be more terrifying than imagined.

The Core Saints suffered the most intense shock, their hearts in turmoil.

They had actually besieged a future Great Saint in the Secret Realm, no wonder they experienced a crushing defeat.

"Am I dreaming? Why does it feel somewhat unreal?"

"A twenty-something Great Saint, could he be the reincarnation of a Heavenly Immortal?"

The old and young were both astonished, feeling it was fantastical, the heated debate was relentless.

It’s obvious, as this identity was unveiled, Qin Ming’s status here will elevate sharply.

Just like when Zhou Tian visited, an Elder personally received him.

"My God, is the lord a Great Saint?" Two maids in the Lu Palace clutched their hearts, feeling as if they were sleepwalking, unable to grasp it.

Outside Lu Palace, the noise soared to the heavens.

Even some were shocked to numbness, staring blankly ahead.

Everyone realized there would be no dragon versus tiger battle today; the anticipated confrontation wasn’t going to happen.

"Flooding of the Dragon King Temple..." Zhen Gui attempted to salvage again.

In the end, he was cut short.

Zhou Tian rewarded him with a few slaps and explained the reason to Qin Ming.

Even knowing that the madman is a Great Saint, Zhen Gui still felt miserable.

How did it come to this? He had invited someone to assist in the fight, only to find himself demoted a generation lower; he now had to call Zheng Guang "uncle" in the future, and he was finding it hard to hold it together.

"Ahh..." He wanted to scream aloud.

The gazes from everyone were peculiarly different towards him.

Such a grand beginning, in the end, it was him who bowed, ultimately turning the enemy into an uncle.

Zhen Gui noticed that his little uncle and Zheng Guang were having a merry conversation.

And those who came just to watch the commotion, after the shock, seemed satisfied having witnessed the big reveal.

For a brief moment, Zhen Gui felt as though the whole world had reconciled, except he was the most hurt.

Especially when he saw Yun Wangshu gazing at the youngest Great Saint, with her eyes almost stretching out, a typical admiration for the strong, he immediately felt the sky collapsing.

"There are plenty of fish in the sea, the next one will be better than her!" Zhen Gui consoled himself this way.
