Chapter 440: 440
Xue Wei managed to become focused again . Although there was a slight ache in his heart, he did not show it off .
Throughout the years, he had lost many people . First was his mother, whom he had never known, followed by his father who got killed right in front of him by his uncle for unknown reasons, and then it was his uncle who went missing .
It was not only Tie Haolong who had been lost in his life, and Xue Wei understood that he could not change the past .
Sighing, he and the others went to the Golden-Winged Eagles, and slowly all of the soldiers present moved onto the birds' backs .
Xue Wei felt how the eagle underneath him trembled as he stepped onto its back, but the slight tremble that could be felt when Xue Wei stepped on to the back, was quite different from when Lan did .
The moment Lan's foot landed on the back of the eagle, the eagle collapsed and laid prostrate on the ground, shaking off everyone who had climbed up earlier .
The corners of Xue Wei's lips could not help but twitch . The moment he stood on the eagle, it started trembling from the bloodline suppression, but the moment Lan stepped onto it, it was unable to even move . How would they ever arrive at the battlefield like this?
Lan also embarrassedly touched his nose . He knew that his strength was overwhelming, but he did not think it was at this point .
The two leaders also looked at them with some shock in their eyes . "Perhaps I should meet up with you at the battlefield?" Lan asked he looked slightly embarrassed as if he had been caught red handed, doing something terrible .
The leaders of the army nodded their heads in utter shock . They had never experienced anything like this before, and they could not help but feel that Lan was too powerful .
These leaders of the army camp were not aware of Lan's identity . They had only been told about Xue Wei's identity, and that Lan was his powerful friend .
Lan identity was only known to certain people outside of the Chang'an continent . Although the leaders knew of him, he was not willing to be a household name .
He was satisfied being known as the prophet in Chang'an, but that was because he lived there . It was his home, and thus, he was willing to let them know of him, but even so, they did not know his real identity, and only assumed that he was very strong .
Chang'an was a messy place . Although it seemed very simple on the surface, with a war going on between the two races, the undercurrents were much more turbulent .
Lan could not help but look forward to when Xue Wei returned to get his revenge and to solve the problem . It was clear that he was in for a great surprise .
While Lan smiled, as usual, his eyes were unable to be seen through . They were dark and enigmatic, sucking in one's soul, and making it impossible to guess what he thought .
The happy-go-lucky man's expression cracked when he saw how the eagle was lying on the ground, trembling like a leaf in a storm .
These eagles were all trained by a Primordial Beast . They were bred for use in war, so they should not cower in the face of strength . Even so, the eagle could not even face a single step of Lan .
"We will meet you at the battlefield," the stoic man said . "But, are you able to get there on your own?"
It was not that he was looking down on Lan; he was just worried whether or not he was able to find his way .
But Lan just chuckled, nodding his head and said his farewell to Xue Wei .
"I will wait for you at the frontlines," Lan said to Xue Wei . "Don't take too long to arrive; I hate waiting . "
Having said this, Lan tore open space, and a dark tunnel appeared in front of him . With a casual goodbye wave of his hand, he stepped into the tunnel, and it closed up behind him .
Everyone was stumped when they saw the actions of Lan . How could he casually rip space apart?! How could he just step into it and vanish without a trace like this?!
They all thought that they were strong, but in the face of absolute strength, they realized how pathetically weak they all were .
Xue Wei was also looking at Lan's vanishing with sparkling eyes, but he was not shocked, neither were his friends . They already knew that Lan was much stronger than what they could even imagine at the current point in time .
They were also aware that Lan had made the dimensional space tunnel that allowed them to leave Chang'an . Since he could let them travel through space, it was nothing for himself to do the same .
Silence descended over the rest of the eagles and the riders . They all knew that Xue Wei was strong, but upon witnessing the strength of one of his followers, they all gulped in fear . What was his real strength like then?
Although Xue Wei was unaware of what they thought, if he had been told, he would have scoffed at them . Did they really think Lan was his follower? Yes, he was following along with them, but that was because Xue Wei had something that Lan needed .
It was evident that Lan was not a person who would do something without a purpose, and while Xue Wei still did not know what Lan's true aim was, he knew that he was not malicious towards him .
