Chapter 1473: If You Want to Go, Then Go

"Lord Red King, so are we going or not?" Liu Qingyan asked again.

"Since it is an invitation from Lingxu-jun himself, I naturally have to go."

Chen Ling also wanted to know what exactly Wu Tongyuan wanted from the Twilight Society. If he could reach a consensus with Wu Tongyuan during this meeting, then collecting the Nine Lords later would become much easier... As for the risks, Chen Ling had experienced too many on his journey; what was this little risk to him?

"What about the other Twilight Society members?" Liu Qingyan paused for a moment. "Even if you are confident in getting out unscathed, it might be too risky for them if they go."

Chen Ling pondered for a long time and finally gave a calm smile. He conjured a brush from the Ancient Treasury of the Drama Path and wrote four large characters in the void with a flourish.

The moment she saw these four characters, Liu Qingyan was stunned...

After writing, the figure in the theatrical robe turned and walked into the distance.

Liu Qingyan bowed respectfully to his back:

"As you command."

……

"Yay!! It's a Hongmen Banquet (trap)!!"

Heart 9 opened his arms excitedly, like a child seeing something novel. Two puffs of steam sprayed continuously from his nostrils, and his whole body was written with the words "want to go."

Plum 8, who was drawing on the side, silently rolled his eyes...

"You're sick."

"Tsk... boring." Heart 9 rolled his eyes back.

But immediately after, Heart 9's eyes darted around, and he locked his elbow around Plum 8's neck, speaking familiarly:

"But then again, do you really not want to go? This is the first time someone has invited our Twilight Society... Don't you really want to go and see what the situation is?"

Plum 8 hesitated for a moment, "But that's their territory after all. What kind of strength do you and I have? If they have malicious intent, how is that any different from sending ourselves to death?"

"Malicious intent? Haha... I'm afraid they don't know how to write the words 'perish together'."

"You go perish together by yourself; I don't want to die yet."

"Oh, don't be so boring!"

"You'd better calm down and wait for the Red King's order," Plum 8 paused for a moment. "With such a big commotion, the old Red King must already know. I guess it won't be long before he sends us a message telling us not to act rashly..."

"Old man? How do you know the new Red King is an old man?" Heart 9's curiosity was immediately diverted.

"I'm guessing... Think about it, the previous Red King seemed to be an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years. This new Red King definitely can't be much younger... In all likelihood, he is also a conservative, steady, mysterious, and unknown old man."

Plum 8 put down his brush and showed Heart 9 the "profile" of the new Red King he had imagined. It was indeed a wrinkled little old man with a hint of lecherousness in his eyes.

"Hiss... an old man, then that's very boring." Heart 9 shook his head regretfully.

Knock, knock, knock—

Just as the two were talking, a rhythmic knocking sound rang out.

Both of their spirits tightened instantly, and they looked at the door simultaneously. You have to know, they were currently hiding in a safe house established by the Twilight Society in the human domain. Normally, absolutely no one should be knocking on the door...

The two looked at each other, and an excited fighting spirit immediately appeared in Heart 9's eyes. He carefully groped toward the wall...

Then he kicked the door open!

Outside the door, there was nothing.

A look of confusion flashed in Heart 9's eyes. The next second, Plum 8 bent down and picked up two letters from the threshold.

Seeing the vaguely familiar pattern on the letter paper, Plum 8 raised his eyebrows, "It's a message from the Twilight Society, and it's one for each of us... Interesting. The last time we encountered a situation where all members received letters at the same time was when the Red King ordered us to go to the Wuji Domain for a 'team-building' session."

"You mean, this is..."

"The first order from the new Red King."

Plum 8 guessed right. With such a big commotion in the Lingxu Domain, it was impossible for this new Red King to have no reaction. He immediately opened the letter, only to find that there were only four large characters on it...

Seeing these four characters, Plum 8's expression became incredibly wonderful.

"Alright... I take back what I just said."

"What did you say?"

"This new Red King is definitely not an old man... On the contrary, he might be unimaginably young."

Seeing this, Heart 9's curiosity was overflowing. He immediately opened the letter in his hand, and four equally flourishing characters appeared before his eyes...

——【If you want to go, then go】 (想去就去).

……

"If you want to go, then go?"

Bai Ye also saw the content on the letter, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly.

The old lady leaning on a cane and trembling beside him also saw the content on the letter, and a faint smile hooked at the corner of her mouth...

"Our new boss... really has courage."

"Compared to courage, his confidence is the core," Bai Ye said slowly.

"【If you want to go, then go】 is not as simple as just letting everyone go if they want to... Behind these four characters, it means that no matter which Twilight Society member it is, regardless of their strength, as long as they go to this meeting, he is confident that he can cover for everyone..."

"This public meeting that has alarmed the entire human domain is, in his eyes, no different from a spring outing or team-building."

"Our boss is really quite interesting." The old lady seemed to like these four characters very much. She carefully folded the letter and put it in her pocket, her eyes smiling into slits.

Bai Ye shrugged, "I actually think... this style is familiar."

"So what do you say? Are we going or not?"

Square Q pondered for a long time, and finally sighed softly, speaking lightly:

"Since this new Red King has said so, if we don't go to join in the fun, it would make us seem ignorant..."

"Lingxu Domain, shall we take a trip?"

"Let's go..."

"I also want to see what exactly Lingxu-jun is up to."

……

A few days later.

Three figures passed through the silent Gray Realm.

"We're almost there," Jian Changsheng looked at the outline of the domain appearing at the end of the horizon. "This Lingxu Domain is really far... If we don't take the domain train, it's really unbearable."

"The human domain finally managed to find a way to replace the failed parts and refit a few domain trains that can barely run. There are only so many trips per day... Since the three of us can't change our faces, it's too hard to sneak on," Sun Bumian shrugged.

"Sigh... fortunately, the calamities in the Gray Realm have decreased, otherwise, having to deal with calamities while walking would be a huge pain."

Jian Changsheng pouted.

"Wasn't it you who insisted on coming to the Lingxu Domain to take a look?" Sun Bumian was a bit speechless.

"That... that can't be blamed on me! It was the Red King who said if you want to go, then go! With him covering for us, what are we afraid of!" Jian Changsheng scratched his head. "But then again...

Who exactly is this new Red King?"
