Chapter 21: The Night of Kurotani

  "Happy New Year, Amy!"

  After entering, Ye Huan presented a bag of bread and a quilt with the most sincere attitude. Although they were not worth much, in this broken and windy situation where the only furniture in the room was a straw mat, suddenly having two things that were almost equivalent to saving his life appear before him left the student stunned and speechless.

  His current mentality is that he wants to scold Ye Huan away, but there is always a voice in his heart saying, "Leave him behind, you need the bread and cotton clothes in his hands. Look at the 8,000 poor people outside, do you still want to stubbornly stick to your faith on the surface while letting your body suffer greatly?"

  "Amy, I apologize for my behavior two days ago... Actually, what I want to say is that when we were at the back mountain, it was my first time recruiting a disciple, but you rejected me, so I couldn't help but have some emotional outburst," Ye Huan bowed her head in apology. "But now I'm clear-headed, and since there's no outsider here, I want to sincerely ask you: would you consider joining our Salvation Sect? Believe me, I really need your power!"

  The student continued to stay stubbornly, but after a while, he shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Brother Huan has already said so, what else can I say?"

  A few minutes later, the student followed Ye Huan out of the thatched cottage and came to the door of the next classmate...

  Similar scenes were staged one after another, and in this exclusive conversation, the students' mentality was completely relaxed, and Ye Huan easily accepted their sincerity.

  Of course, there were always some students who didn't buy into Ye Huan's approach, but when night fell, Ye Huan still led more than 200 students back to his fleet.

  Adolf counted out the number of people, and with a snap, the hemp in his mouth fell to the ground. The light in his triangular eyes was like seeing the goddess he admired taking off her clothes. "Hey, boss, although I still don't understand what hypnosis is, you did it! Two hundred and seventy-six people, really more than half of the students have joined you!"

  He became even more tense, "Boss, you must teach me, what did you mean by hypnosis just now... exactly that sentence, how can I make a woman submit to a strong rapist!?"

  “……”

  “……”

  “……”

  Ye Huan's response was: After settling more than 200 believers, he walked towards another area with a large number of students with his head down...

  As for Adolf's problem...

  Alright, it's a secret.

  The big river mentioned earlier runs through the middle of Black Valley, so along both sides of the riverbank, this town of 8,000 people is also divided into two parts - the fleet stopped in the more densely populated East District, but there are some students living in a more remote area in the West District.

  Although he had gained more than 200 followers, he still hadn't seen the most important Shura. Ye Huan thought of going to the Western District to search for him, but just at this moment!

  Hallelujah!

  In the noisy and bustling valley, no one noticed that a batch of strange war horses appeared on the cliff in the noise of the grand bonfire party.

  Its outline is like a batch of ordinary black war horses, but its volume is more than twice that of ordinary horses. It stands on the mountain top, its four hooves treading out a fine rhythm, and when you look closely, its hooves are actually surging with scarlet flames.

  His horse's tail was like a blazing inferno, and his eyes were a pale purple color, shimmering like a dream.

  Nightmare Beast!

  This is a ferocious creature that is said to have walked out of hell during the Great Calamity, and even the weakest among them has the strength of a high-level demon beast with at least a first-class soul master's level!

  Someone once commented that in the vast majority of wilderness areas, the appearance of a Dream Beast is equivalent to the extinction of all living beings in this area. And humans who have the ability to subdue these Dream Beasts are certainly among the most elite of the new human race.

  At this time, the Nightmare Beast was ridden by a person like this.

  This is a figure wearing red armor, his face already hidden inside the red beast helmet, only able to see a bunch of fiery red long hair scattered behind his face mask. His weapon was a pair of slender stilettos, which looked too thin and even out of place under the majestic Dream Beast and the heavy armor. However, as he pointed with both swords, a large patch of fiery red clouds appeared in the night sky, gradually covering the curved moon on New Year's Eve...

  Next to him stood an elderly man with a dignified appearance, wearing a well-fitted tailcoat, his stern expression easily making one think of the old butler in a noble family. He himself was holding a letter - it was a sky blue letter paper, but there were no words on the letter.

  "Second Master, this is the Black Valley that Jiggs promised you. However, it seems to have deviated from what was expected. Not only are there the 8,000 farmers and workers that Jiggs mentioned, but also 400-500 students...and they all seem to belong to the same denomination under one Heavenly Father, holding a New Year's gathering!"

  "What's wrong?"

  The red figure 'heh heh' laughed strangely, "Oh, I understand, Mr. Mige. You're worried that after we devour an entire sect, the old monsters from the Religious Tribunal will come after us, right? ...Don't worry, I'll make sure the kids are very careful and won't leave any clues behind. Even if that three-eyed guy from Mount Heilüshan comes down, he won't be able to figure out it was our doing."

  As he spoke, he noticed that the old butler didn't relax his brow. "Mr. Mig, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

  "Master, I still don't quite understand... Are you really going to choose to save Oda Kiyomitsu after eating these foods?" The old man's expression was somewhat hesitant. "You know that the martial arts tournament on Mount Hei is about to begin, and this year's tournament has attracted a lot of attention, with many strong fighters participating. If you rescue Oda Kiyomitsu at this time, it will likely add another powerful enemy for yourself in future martial arts battles!"

  The figure in red seemed to have been insulted, "But I think it's more interesting to save Oda Nobukatsu here and then kill him again on Mount Hiei!"

  The old man lowered his head, "Since Second Master says so, then I have no other questions... Oh, Heavenly Father, wait a minute!"

  He finally saw a familiar figure in the crowd inside Hei Gu, "Second Young Master, look, Ye Huan is also here, you won't forget him, will you? At the martial arts conference three years ago, even if it was the Eldest Young Master and thirteen others joining forces..."

  The red figure has already jumped down from the Dream Beast!
