Chapter 447: World Chapter: Reunion after a long absence

The breeze blew away the dust, carrying a few pieces of dead grass and fallen leaves.
On the endless plain, the two men just looked at each other from afar.

However, Zhao Yun, who was on the opposite side, unconsciously showed a trace of confusion on his face at this moment.

He could feel how terrifyingly powerful the aura of the man opposite him was, so powerful that it was far more powerful than his own! For a moment, he even thought that the man standing in front of him was the man who had a distant relationship with his predecessor; the peerless strategist Zhuge Liang.

They are so similar, but there are obvious differences in their temperament.

These confusions were not resolved until Wang Yao took off the mask of pain on his face.

Under the completely silver-white hair, his extremely pale face is filled with vicissitudes, fatigue, and desolation, but between his brows, there is still some of the original firmness. The unique left eye inlaid with the "Phoenix Eye" also confirms his identity as Wang Yao to some extent.

"Old Zhao, welcome back." Facing Zhao Yun, Wang Yao responded with a slight smile.

At this moment, a rare blush of excitement appeared on his pale face, which made him look a little childishly excited.

Some people say that there are three great fortunes in life: a false alarm, recovery from loss, and reunion after a long separation.
How long has it been? Wang Yao hasn't smiled like this since then.

Perhaps, the best comfort for him now is that he can still meet an old friend in this lonely world.

And Zhao Yun's eyes also turned slightly red at this moment.

After all, they were brothers who had been through life and death together for so many years, and their relationship was so deep that Zhao Yun, who was originally furious, actually had tears in his eyes when he saw Wang Yao's true appearance. He walked over, grabbed Wang Yao's shoulders, and looked at this guy carefully. In the end, he had thousands of words to say, but they could only be summed up in one sentence: "You, how did you become like this?"

indeed.

Wang Yao has changed a lot.

From that kind, sunny, enthusiastic soldier to the vicissitudes, indifference, and heaviness of the present, Zhao Yun didn't know that all these changes happened in just one night.
"I'm fine. I'm fine." At this moment, Wang Yao no longer had his usual indifference, and even his voice was trembling a little: "I'm glad you're back."

Yes, it’s good to be back. There are so many people in this world, but at least from now on, he won’t have to be alone in this world anymore.

"Where have you been these days? Why did you take so long to come back? And..." Wang Yao's eyes were sharp: "Have you broken through to the Grandmaster level?"

"Yes, a lot of things happened, it's hard to describe in a few words." Zhao Yun rubbed the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, then smiled and said: "It was my master, Mr. Guiguzi, who promoted me. In this world, Jixia Academy is not the only one that can promote us heroes."

Zhao Yun's words confirmed Wang Yao's previous speculation; Zhao Yun was not a native hero of Jixia Academy. In this world, there were other forces that were capable of competing with Jixia Academy.

After a pause, Zhao Yun seemed to have more questions to ask Wang Yao: "What about you? I can feel that you are much stronger than me now. Also, why are you dressed so similarly to that man?"

Until now, Zhao Yun is still reluctant to mention Zhuge Liang's name.

Until Wang Yao gave him an unexpected answer.

"He died." Wang Yao said, "At the last moment of his life, he transferred his skill module to me."

Zhao Yun was stunned on the spot.

He had never thought that the godlike man would actually die one day. Perhaps it was too sudden. For a moment, Zhao Yun had mixed feelings in his heart, and all the grievances and entanglements of the past completely lost their meaning at this moment.

In response, Wang Yao simply patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said, "He said that he was sorry about the incident with the previous generation of Cang Tian Xiang Long, and he hopes to get your forgiveness."

"Really?" Zhao Yun raised his head, gazing at the cloudless sky, speechless for a long while.

The person is gone, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze. The person is gone, and now that things have come to this, what is there to talk about?

But soon, Zhao Yun came back to his senses from his melancholy.

"Wait." Because he suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart for no reason: "Where is Luna? Why is she not with you? Isn't that little girl always the one who likes to stick to you the most?"

Some questions actually have answers from the beginning, but the questioner is just unwilling to admit it.

But Wang Yao did not hide anything. He just smiled and said, "She is no longer with us. I was ambushed by Wan Gu Chang Ming at that time. In order to save me, she blocked the fatal blow for me at the last moment."

"What!!!" Zhao Yun opened his mouth wide, but the bitterness and surprise made him unable to even organize basic words.

Unexpectedly, in the six months since I was away, everything in Sanfendi has changed dramatically.

He just stared at Wang Yao in front of him. Although he looked indifferent, Zhao Yun could see the abyss of sadness hidden in his lifeless eyes.
It's no wonder that Wang Yao has become what he is now. Zhao Yun knows their relationship best. It's hard to imagine how he has managed to survive the past six months alone.

"You must have had a hard time." Zhao Yun placed his hands heavily on Wang Yao's shoulders, but he could not think of any more words of comfort.

Wang Yao had indeed suffered a lot along the way, but how could his life be summed up and smoothed out by more than just the word "rough" and a few words of comfort?

"I'm fine, but..." Wang Yao's expression suddenly became depressed again: "I've heard that outside the Three-Point Land, there is a hero called the Alchemy Master, who has a unique resurrection skill. For this reason, I asked Zhou Yu to go find him not long ago, but unfortunately, there was no news in the end." Looking at the depressed Wang Yao, Zhao Yun could only pat his shoulder hard again to cheer him up: "Cheer up, the world is so big, it's normal that you can't find him for the time being. As long as you have patience, I believe you will be able to find this extraordinary person in the future!"

As if not wanting to irritate Wang Yao too much about these sad things, Zhao Yun subconsciously changed the subject and asked, "So after that, you succeeded in defeating the State of Wei, right?"

"Well, as you can see." Wang Yao nodded: "Later, I united the three major forces of Wei, Wu, and Fuso to form the current federal army."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yun's expression suddenly became strange.

Perhaps it was because he had received too much shocking and sad news at once that he suddenly forgot the purpose of his coming here.

Zhao Yun immediately grabbed Wang Yao's wrist and pulled him away, "You can tell me what happened later. Now hurry up and follow me."

Wang Yao asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Of course, it's to stop your soldiers from committing atrocities!" Zhao Yun said without turning his head while pulling Wang Yao, "If it's any later, who knows how many more soldiers will die tragically under their butcher knives."

Then--

With irresistible resistance coming from his hands, Zhao Yun suddenly found that he could not pull Wang Yao.

He suddenly stopped where he was, and Wang Yao's eyes behind him fell into endless darkness under the cover of his hair.

The vast plain is silent.

The two stood one in front of the other, and before they knew it, the air in the area, which was harmonious and warm at the beginning, suddenly became a little gloomy and cold.

"So, did you really give the order to the soldiers to massacre the prisoners of war?" Zhao Yun asked without turning his head.

"Yes." Wang Yao did not comment.

Zhao Yun smiled, but the smile was very forced, and he still didn't turn around: "Ayao, this joke is not funny at all, hurry up and leave!"

But, he still couldn’t pull the people behind him.

Only a cold voice floated over with the wind.

"I haven't joked in a long time."

Sudden--

boom!
But Zhao Yun turned around without warning and smashed Wang Yao's face with a heavy punch!

If it were an ordinary hero, he would probably be knocked away by Zhao Yun's angry punch, but because the gap between them was so huge, facing this [Grandmaster-level] full-strength punch, Wang Yao only tilted his head and took a small step back. Even so, the powerful recoil still caused the ground under his feet to crack a lot!
When Wang Yao turned around and looked at Zhao Yun again, there was already a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. However, he still didn't say anything, but just looked back at Zhao Yun with an extremely complicated expression.

Seeing that Wang Yao really wasn't joking, the anger that had been suppressed suddenly surged up again. Zhao Yun walked over and grabbed Wang Yao's collar, shouting angrily: "Are you crazy, Yao! Do you know what you are doing?!"

This roar spread all over the place, completely shattering the harmony that had just been established.
On the other side, although Wang Yao was grabbed by the collar tightly, he did not resist, but he also did not show any expression.

For some reason, his thoughts suddenly returned to the conversation with the dancer before the attack on Xuanyong.

"I have a willful request, I hope you can fulfill it."

"Please set Brother Zilong free."

"I know that this request is unreasonable, especially at this critical moment, but I still want to beg you to allow Brother Zilong to leave Sanfendi with me."

"Do you think that with Cang Tian Xiang Long's personality, he would be willing to give up everything and go with you?"

"Thank you, Lord. I understand. Perhaps, we are destined not to be together happily in this life. This is our fate."

"etc."

"After you capture Xuanyong, wait for him outside Wudu City."

Oh, how come I almost forgot about this?
Yes.

Both Zhao Yun and he were so disturbed by this long-awaited reunion that they almost forgot what they were supposed to do.

Slowly coming back to his senses, Wang Yao raised his eyes and looked deeply at the furious Zhao Yun in front of him. The next moment, his face slowly returned to its previous coldness and indifference!
"I know."

“But I firmly believe that everything I did was right.”
