MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again

Heavenly God Level warrior...

Sword Saint Lu fell silent, not saying a word.

After a while, Lu Hong grew a bit impatient and urged, "Are we still going to fight? If we're continuing, fine, otherwise I'm leaving."

Seeing Lu Hong turn to leave, Sword Saint Lu quickly called out to him, "Wait!"

"May I ask what brings you to the Saint Peace realm this time?"

"My friends accidentally fell into this realm, and I've come to take them back."

Hearing Lu Hong's answer, Sword Saint Lu gave a bitter smile and shook his head, "Once you enter Saint Peace, there's no possibility of leaving; the Saint Master has definitively blocked all the paths out."

To this, Lu Hong was not surprised. If the Saint Peace realm were freely accessible, then over the centuries, some adventurers or the demonic race ruling the Death Zone would have discovered it.

"Why not try and find out?"

Seeing Lu Hong's relaxed demeanor, Sword Saint Lu was reminded of his former self and finally sighed, then spoke, "Did you find the people you're looking for?"

"I'm still missing two; I heard they were taken to the capital, so I came here."

"Why come to Sword Saint Lu, then?"

"Does it matter?"

Sword Saint Lu was stunned, right, does it matter? This man before me is just a stranger; he couldn't possibly have any connections with Sword Saint Lu or the others.

Realizing he might be overly anxious, Sword Saint Lu spoke apologetically, "I'm sorry for disturbing you so late; as a foreigner, you probably haven't found a place to stay yet. If you don't mind, you can stay at my residence."

"Sure," Lu Hong immediately agreed.

At Sword Saint Lu's invitation, the barrier dissipated, and three Second Transition warriors clad in black formal wear bowed respectfully to Sword Saint Lu.

"Everyone, leave us; tonight's events must not be disclosed."

"Understood, sir!"

Led by Sword Saint Lu, the two quickly arrived at his residence, a mansion spanning over several acres.

In front of the brightly-lit mansion, two guards stood up to greet them, "Greetings, Lord Sword Saint."

Sword Saint Lu nodded slightly, "Go have the kitchen prepare some good wine and dishes."

In less than half an hour, a lavish feast was brought into the side hall.

Sword Saint Lu filled his cup with fine wine and raised it, "Here, let me toast you first!"

Lu Hong took the cup and took a sip, the spicy taste hitting his throat.

"So spicy!" Lu Hong immediately set down the cup, "I'm not really used to this drink."

"Ha ha ha, normal, normal," Sword Saint Lu acknowledged, understandingly, "This is made from the fiery peppers that are a special product of Saint Peace, effective in invigorating blood and dispersing clots, an essential in the Saint Peace Kingdom's army, most people find it a bit difficult to handle."

Saying this, Sword Saint Lu took two more bottles of fine wine from the cabinet and filled Lu Hong's cup again, "Here, try this drink."

Taking the wine cup, Lu Hong once again sipped lightly, sweet and refreshing notes of the wine instantly filling his senses, he couldn't help but praise, "Good wine!"

Hearing this, Sword Saint Lu also chuckled and sat back in satisfaction, "Glad you like it."

Nodding, Lu Hong drank another cup and had a few bites of the hot dishes, then said, "My name is Lu Hong, from the Divine Grace realm."

"Divine Grace?" Sword Saint Lu was initially taken aback, and then his expression became somewhat desolate, "Actually, our ancestors also came from Divine Grace."

"If you were originally residing in the divine grace plane as humans, why would you come all the way to live in this remote and desolate place?"

Sword Saint Lu shook his head, "I do not know why our ancestors chose to migrate here, as there are no records about it. The only one who knows the truth is the Saint Master, but according to the Chronicler, the Saint Ancestor has not appeared for three thousand years."

"May I ask the name of the Saint Master?"

"Gui He."

"What?!"

Lu Hong shot up from his seat, shocked, "Say that again! What's the Saint Master's name?!"

"Gui... Gui He." Sword Saint Lu looked puzzled at Lu Hong, "Brother Lu, do you know the Saint Master?"

"Of course I know." Lu Hong calmed himself down and sat back down, smiling, "Gui He was the foremost disciple of the Human War God during the Era of the Gods. According to the records, this Saint Ancestor should have died in battle long ago; it's unexpected that he is still alive."

Sword Saint Lu nodded, "So the Saint Master is the great disciple of the War God. No wonder he has such extraordinary strength, capable of overpowering an entire realm."

"Overpowering an entire realm?" Lu Hong asked curiously, "Do you know where he is?"

"This matter..." Clearly, Sword Saint Lu was hesitating. After scanning around with his divine soul and ensuring nobody was eavesdropping, he finally spoke, "I shouldn't be telling you this, but I believe that with your capabilities, you would eventually uncover these secrets anyway."

Upon hearing this, Lu Hong nodded, "I'm all ears."

First taking a sip of his drink, Sword Saint Lu then began his tale, "This Saint Peace plane is actually a portal, the sole gateway to an outer realm. But regarding this outer realm, only His Majesty in Saint Peace Kingdom knows it well. I only know that for years, the Saint Master has been guarding the portal, preventing invasions from the outer realm into Star Sea. And we in Saint Peace also initiate the Eternal War every thousand years, selecting the finest warriors from our nation to support the Saint Ancestor in resisting the attacks of the outer realm. Meanwhile, those who go there have almost no chance of survival. The previous generation had eighteen Sword Saints, all of whom died in front of the portal, alongside thirty million soldiers who did not return alive."

"Thirty million soldiers?" Lu Hong was somewhat skeptical of that number.

Sword Saint Lu smiled slightly, "It seems you think we in Saint Peace can't muster so many soldiers. But in fact, the Saint Peace plane also connects half the gateways where our main stronghold is located. Countless soldiers receive the strictest training there, some practically from birth, never returning to their homeland."

Hearing Sword Saint Lu's story, Lu Hong nodded, secretly marveling at the strength of the outer realm and relieved that his disciple, Gui He, was holding it back.

Sword Saint Lu continued, "The millennium battle will begin again next year. At that time, I and several other Sword Saints will lead the Saint Peace army to the portal to resist the enemies. At the same time, His Majesty will also pass on the kingship to the Crown Prince and take to the field himself. Therefore, it is a rather tense time currently in the Capital of Saint Antioch."

Hearing the implications in Sword Saint Lu's words, Lu Hong nodded again, "Rest assured, Sword Saint, I will not interfere in the affairs of Saint Peace Kingdom. But should I happen to offend Saint Peace in my search for my friends, I hope you won't hold it against me."

"Who are you looking for, Brother Lu? I've been rooted in the capital for many years and have my ways."

Seeing Sword Saint Lu offering his help, Lu Hong said, "Two women."

As he spoke, he activated his qi and sketched out the likenesses of Danni and Su Yu.

Seeing the appearance of these two, Sword Saint Lu's face turned sour, but he quickly hid it and told Lu Hong, "I have noted it down. If there's any clue, I will inform you at once."

"Oh?" Clearly, the change in expression did not escape Lu Hong's notice, "Haven't you seen them before, Sword Saint?"

Sword Saint Lu still shook his head, "Never seen them."

"Is that so?" Lu Hong smiled, "We've just become friends; I hope, Sword Saint, you won't let down this friendship."

Hearing this, Sword Saint Lu, realizing Lu Hong had sensed something was amiss, sighed, "I advise you to give up, Brother Lu. That person you can't afford to offend."

"Oh? I can't afford to offend? I would appreciate it if you would enlighten me, Sword Saint."

"I can't tell you." Sword Saint Lu clenched his jaw and did not relent.

Lu Hong did not press further, but asked, "Are they currently under any life-threatening danger?"

Sword Saint Lu shook his head, "Although, I can't tell you who did it, I can assure you about their safety. At least until the Crown Prince leaves seclusion, they will face no threat."

"The Crown Prince leaves seclusion." Lu Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, again related to the Crown Prince.

Although the news about Lando and Su Yu still revolved around this Saint Peace Crown Prince, Lu Hong increasingly felt it had nothing to do with the Crown Prince himself. As to who it was related to, it probably only involved the Saint Peace King, who was the closest to the Crown Prince!
