Chapter 556 - 259: Rules of the Ghost Race
I am clearly Li Hengsheng, and wasn’t this scroll painted by my so-called father, Monarch Yuehan, himself?
Monarch Yuehan was the youngest Painting Saint in the history of the Cangyuan Realm. Painting my portrait should be an easy task for him. Why can’t they recognize me?
Hai Dongsheng was still perplexed.
In Hai Dongsheng’s heart, there was a strong intuition. This intuition told him that Li Yun was Li Hengsheng, but what was going on with this portrait?
The person in the portrait cannot be said to look exactly like Li Hengsheng; they are completely unrelated.
"Commander Hai, I understand your eagerness to make an accomplishment, but arresting someone in the street and assaulting a member of the Human Race is something that, if it reaches the City Lord’s ears, the City Lord might not be pleased." At this moment, a burly man among the four commanders sneered and said.
Hai Dongsheng’s expression was also very awkward.
But at this point, he had nothing to say. He originally thought that since there was no trace of Li Hengsheng in the Three Wilderness areas, it was very likely that Li Hengsheng had come to Cloud Wasteland. And to survive in Cloud Wasteland, the first choice for the Human Race is Ghost City.
Moreover, this Li Yun in front of him met all the criteria of Li Hengsheng.
Cultivation, age, even the cultivation technique was very similar.
Yet, he looked different from the person in the portrait.
This gave Hai Dongsheng a great sense of frustration.
"Enough." General De Kang looked deeply at Hai Dongsheng but said nothing, just calmly stated, "Let this matter end here; Commander Hai meant no harm."
"Since Li Hengsheng is wanted by the new Realm Master of Cangyuan and can even be exchanged for a Painting Immortal Level Painting Treasure, he is certainly not a simple character. Such a person wouldn’t easily appear in our Ghost City, the chance is relatively low, so there’s nothing to regret about not finding him."
General De Kang said, "But everything has its possibilities. Let them see the portrait, and if someone sees the person in the portrait, notify me. There will be a severe punishment."
Upon hearing this, Hai Dongsheng showed the portrait to everyone.
Li Hengsheng also looked at the scroll.
The scroll depicted a young man, sallow and skinny, as if suffering from long-term malnutrition, and even taller than him. Li Hengsheng had never seen this image, nor could he understand why this person would be mistaken for him.
The only relief for Li Hengsheng now was that at least the suspicion that he was Li Hengsheng was gone.
But the next words of General De Kang once again pushed Li Hengsheng, who had just taken a breath, deeper into despair.
"You are called Li Yun, right?" General De Kang leaned back in his chair, looking at Li Hengsheng.
"Yes," Li Hengsheng quickly replied.
"You’re quite capable, killing one of my captains," General De Kang said, his voice devoid of any emotion.
At this moment, Li Hengsheng again felt uneasy. It seemed that this General De Kang would not let him off so easily.
Li Hengsheng’s heart started to pound again.
"Since you killed one of my captains, you will take his place as a captain in my General’s Mansion," General De Kang slowly said.
"Huh?"
Li Hengsheng was stunned.
Make me a captain?
Li Hengsheng looked around and found that no one showed a surprised expression here. Apparently, they didn’t find anything inappropriate about this situation.
"General, the one who died was one of my captains; let him come to my side," Hai Dongsheng hastily stepped forward to say.
Hai Dongsheng still felt that Li Hengsheng was full of suspicious points, so he wanted to bring Li Hengsheng under his command for monitoring.
"General, I find this Human Race boy quite pleasing. Let him come to me. Last month, one of my captains died in battle, and we haven’t found anyone to fill the position. I think this boy’s ability is decent," the burly Ghost Race man who had just mocked Hai Dongsheng also stepped up and said.
"Hong Shen, what do you mean?" Hai Dongsheng was a little displeased.
"This Li Yun killed my man. Now that my man is dead, shouldn’t he come to me?" Hai Dongsheng was somewhat angry.
"Let Li Yun go to Hong Shen first," General De Kang said, then stood up and left.
Since General De Kang had spoken, Hai Dongsheng naturally did not dare to say anything.
He only glared fiercely at Li Hengsheng.
Li Hengsheng saw how his fate was arranged like this, but he did not dare to say anything. At least he could keep his life for now, and staying here as a captain was better than being a slave before.
Moreover, not falling into Hai Dongsheng’s hands was also a very good outcome.
"Kid, there’s definitely something wrong with you. Don’t get cocky. I will find out who you really are," Hai Dongsheng whispered in Li Hengsheng’s ear before turning around and leaving.
Li Hengsheng watched Hai Dongsheng’s departing figure, his eyes narrowing.
Previously in the Eastern Wilderness, he let this Hai Dongsheng get away, not expecting it to become a hidden trouble.
"Li Yun, what did Hai Dongsheng say to you?" At this time, Hong Shen came up, curious about the words Hai Dongsheng had whispered in Li Hengsheng’s ear earlier.
Li Hengsheng stood up and calmly said, "Hai Dongsheng said that I’m really an unfortunate person for choosing the weakest among the four commanders."
"Damn it!"
Hong Shen couldn’t help but curse on the spot upon hearing this.
