Lin Dong held Tang Mu in his arms and softly said:
"I didn’t want to hide it from you, it was just out of necessity."
Tang Mu, with reddened eyes, said:
"I know, I don’t bla you. I know you have your unavoidable reasons for not acknowledging ."
"I also know that becoming Qin Yitian’s fiancé was also due to the circumstances. I heard Qin Yitian talk about what happened between you and her..."
Lin Dong let out a bitter smile and murmured, "I’m sorry..."
"Don’t say sorry to , never say sorry to . Those three words represent regret, remorse, mistakes... I hope between us, there will never be regret, remorse, or mistakes."
Saying this, Tang Mu began to sob, leaning on Lin Dong’s chest, she choked:
"Lin Dong, do you know, when I heard of your death, I almost wanted to die with you."
"But the Dragon King War God told , I should live on, to avenge you."
"But I am just a common person, how could I possibly avenge you? Your enemies are all Grandmaster powerhouses, even Heavenly Realm Martial Artists. To , they are no different from gods and ghosts."
"However, the Dragon King War God told , as long as I could unlock my General’s Body constitution, I would have the chance to avenge you."
"But my General’s Body constitution, I don’t even know how to unlock it. I asked the Dragon King War God, and he told that coming to Southborne is an opportunity."
"Here is the Land of the Fallen. The forr General of the four zombies fell on this land. If I can find the land where the General fell, then there is a high probability I can unlock my General’s Body constitution."
"Once my General’s Body constitution is unlocked, then I can avenge you..."
Hearing this, Lin Dong was stunned for a long ti, then asked:
"So this ti you ca to Southborne with the people from the War Departnt to unlock your General’s Body constitution?"
"Ye Linglong and Xiao Hongyu, they are all here to protect you, right?"
Tang Mu nodded: "Yes, that is one of my biggest purposes for coming to Southborne. Of course, the people from the War Departnt, besides this task, have another task, which is to exterminate the Brahman."
"The Brahman captured many of our Dragon Country compatriots who ca to Southborne, and the Dragon Country War Departnt warned them many tis. But they still do whatever they want, and this ti, they actually provoked our Dragon Country War Departnt on purpose."
"They killed so of our undercover agents from the Dragon Country War Departnt in Southborne and sent videos of the killings to our Dragon Country War Departnt."
"After seeing it, the Dragon Country War Departnt was extrely angry. They swore not to return until the Brahman is exterminated!"
"And the commander in charge of exterminating the Brahman this ti is personally taken on by the Dragon King War God! The Dragon Group acts as the vanguard. They have already arrived in Southborne."
"The Dragon King War God will co with the main forces after the Dragon Group has scouted the Brahman’s headquarters and various branches."
After hearing all this, Lin Dong finally understood why Tang Mu and Ye Linglong ca to Southborne.
At the sa ti, he also understood why Tang Mu would join forces with the people from the Dragon Country War Departnt.
"I also promised the Dragon King War God that if I can unlock my General’s Body constitution this ti in Southborne, I will join the War Departnt."
"And he will help to avenge you."
After hearing these words, Lin Dong asked: "Does the Dragon King War God know where the land where the General fell is?"
Tang Mu shook her head: "The Dragon King War God speculates that it might be at the Brahman’s headquarters."
"He said the Brahman seems to have so connection with the Jiang Chen Clan. They seem to be the ’Tomb Guardians’ of the Generals."
The so-called Tomb Guardians, as the na suggests, are those who guard the tombs.
When ancient emperors and saints fell, there would be a special clan to guard their tombs.
And the status of the General was akin to that of ancient emperors and saints. They also had a corresponding Tomb Guardian clan.
After hearing this, Lin Dong said to Tang Mu: "When are you planning to make a move?"
"I don’t know, I have to follow the orders of the Dragon King War God."
"During this ti, I will stay in Southborne under the guise of being the spokesperson for Alchemy League Pharmaceuticals. Ye Linglong and the others will protect as my bodyguards, and secretly investigate and search for the various Brahman branches in Southborne."
"Once enough intelligence has been gathered, the War Departnt will take action."
"Lin Dong, what about you, what is your situation, when can you reclaim your identity?"
Tang Mu asked with great anticipation.
Lin Dong pondered for a mont and said, "At least another month, I will soon need to head to the Hidden Dragon Cave to compete for the dicine King. If I can obtain the dicine King and use it to break through to the Tenth Stage Grandmaster, then I will reclaim the identity of Master Lin."
"Only when I achieve that strength can I confront Heavenly Realm Martial Artists!"
Tang Mu looked at Lin Dong, starry-eyed and said: "I will wait for your powerful return!"
She snuggled in Lin Dong’s arms, feeling an unprecedented sense of safety.
Suddenly, Lin Dong sensed a slight movent next door; Ye Linglong seed to have woken up.
Lin Dong quickly made a shushing gesture, almost mouthing the words to Tang Mu:
"Tang Mu, don’t speak, Ye Linglong seems to have woken up."
"I have to leave, do not tell anyone about my identity. Not even Ye Linglong, not even the Dragon King War God!"
"Mm-hmm." Tang Mu nodded firmly, "Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone."
"I understand the gravity of the situation."
Lin Dong nodded, noticing that Ye Linglong, who had woken next door, was coming over.
He had no choice but to leave imdiately.
"I’m leaving, Tang Mu, stay safe. Before I reclaim the identity of Master Lin, refrain from taking any rash actions."
"The Brahman are not simple, and the waters of Southborne are deep. Even if the Dragon King War God cos personally, it may not be possible to quell the chaos in Southborne."
"Moreover, the land where the General fell is not a place you should tread upon."
"Even for Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, stepping into the land where the General fell is a life-or-death situation."
After saying these words, Lin Dong heard Ye Linglong’s footsteps reaching the door of Tang Mu’s room.
He said no more, his body swirling away, completely vanishing from the room.
His speed was so fast that even ordinary people’s eyes couldn’t detect his departure.
At this mont, Ye Linglong pushed open the door and asked:
"Tang Mu, I think I heard sothing strange. Are you alright? Could it be that flower thief coming back again?"
Tang Mu smiled at Ye Linglong at this mont: "No. I just got up at night, the strange noise you heard might have been getting up."
"As long as you’re alright." Ye Linglong let out a sigh of relief, she was a bit on edge, worried that sothing would happen to Tang Mu.
If anything happened to Tang Mu, even if she died as she wished on the battlefield, she wouldn’t be able to account to Lin Dong after death.
Yes, she had already been prepared to die coming to Southborne this ti.
"Lin Dong, under the Yellow Springs, you have to fulfill the bet we made back then, right?"
