#541 - Chapter 541: Peeping Night in the Toilet

"Your subordinate was unaware of the Holy Lord's distant arrival and was late in welcoming you. I beg the Holy Lord for forgiveness!"

In the next instant, Xuan turned and knelt on the ground without the slightest hesitation.

His entire body was prostrate on the ground, and he kowtowed nine times in a row.

He only repeated, "Your subordinate deserves to die. I beg the Holy Lord for forgiveness!"

The soldiers behind Xuan also didn't dare to be careless. The moment Xuan knelt down, they all knelt down as well.

They also followed Xuan's example, kowtowing vigorously.

For a time, the entire ancient battlefield was filled with the sounds of kowtowing.

Ye Kong was shocked to see this scene from Xuan: What kind of person had arrived, that even the arrogant Xuan was frightened to this state?

Everyone in the arena had the same thought.

Thinking of this, everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came.

They saw that the broken sky in front of them was becoming darker, and there seemed to be a large cloud of darkness, but it also seemed not to be.

Only Hong and Ye Kong in the arena could see that behind the dark cloud was a person sitting upright with a blue flame rotating on their forehead.

However, neither of them could clearly see the person's specific appearance, height, or build.

As if sensing that someone was looking at him, the person slowly raised their head and glanced at Ye Kong and Hong.

Ye Kong's scalp went numb from that person's glance, feeling as if he had been targeted by a venomous snake, and goosebumps rose on his back.

Hong was not much better off.

Perhaps this was the so-called ultimate boss.

Ye Kong thought, pretending to be a well-behaved junior and lowered his head obediently.

"It's fine, Xuan. There's no need to be so formal with me. Get up."

The voice said calmly, sounding like it was smiling, but it was impossible for anyone to laugh.

Hearing this, Xuan couldn't help but tremble a few times. Not daring to disobey the order, he quickly got up.

The moment he got up, he almost fell.

Ye Kong was close to Xuan and, upon seeing Xuan's face, couldn't help but be startled.

It turned out that after Xuan's forceful kowtowing, Xuan's face was now covered in blood, with only his facial features visible.

This showed how much strength Xuan had used and also reflected how terrified Xuan was of the person in front of him.

In fact, Xuan was truly terrified in his heart.

He had received the order this time and quickly led the team to set out, without carefully inquiring about the details.

He didn't know that the person behind this expedition was actually the Holy Lord.

In their Fire Region, what kind of existence was the Holy Lord?

Above all others, the highest leader and absolute authority of the Fire Region. That described the Holy Lord's position.

"The Yama of the Holy Temple" described his power of deterrence.

In the Fire Region, no one dared to discuss the Holy Lord in public, and no one had seen the Holy Lord's true face.

Even more than half of the people were praising the Holy Lord's virtues.

A benefactor who made seventy percent of the people in a world feel grateful was actually a heinous executioner.

But the only person who could do bad things and still have so many people sing his praises was the Holy Lord.

He had the gentlest smile, but used the most cruel methods to torture people to death.

Xuan was considered to be from a middle-class family in the Fire Region. He also had a younger sister, and his parents had died early. He and his sister depended on each other for survival.

In order to support himself and his sister, he had sold himself to the army early on.

He worked as a coolie in the army.

At first, he was just an inconspicuous stable boy in the army, feeding the fire horses and assisting the master.

Once, the master got drunk, and he had no choice but to replace the master to feed the horses.

On that night, he saw an unforgettable scene that made his legs tremble even now when he thought about it.

That day, after he had fed the fire horses, he went to the latrine.

When he was halfway through relieving himself, he suddenly heard faint sounds of arguing.

Xuan listened for a long time, unable to resist his curiosity, and pried open a small hole in the already flimsy wall.

He looked through the hole at the neighboring courtyard.

The courtyard was usually empty.

That night, there happened to be someone there. Xuan only realized after digging the hole that it was a woman's boudoir.

The woman was very beautiful, with a pureness mixed with charm. Her every frown and smile was captivating.

As Xuan watched, saliva dripped down.

He thought, "If I could have such a beautiful young lady, that would be great."

Xuan was indulging in his beautiful dream when he suddenly heard a sound from the door, and someone he couldn't clearly see entered, but he could tell from the voice that it was a man.

Seeing this, Xuan's dream shattered.

How could he covet someone who already had an owner?

Xuan was disheartened, and he didn't feel like finishing his business. He fastened his pants and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, he heard moans and gasps coming from next door.

Xuan had heard the master say what was going on, so he naturally knew what was happening next door.

His face flushed with embarrassment, and he was too embarrassed to listen any further, so he hurriedly prepared to return.

Suddenly, an evil thought arose in his mind: Now that the horses have been fed, I won't be able to sleep even if I go back. Why not steal a few glances?

Once this thought arose in his mind, there was no way to suppress it.

A ball of evil fire窜ed from all directions, seeming to burn him to ashes.

Finally, Xuan hardened his heart and thought: I'll just steal a few glances, it shouldn't matter.

Thinking of this, Xuan tiptoed back to the original spot.

He pressed his eye against the small hole and quietly looked into the room.

The moment his eye touched the small hole, Xuan met a pair of cold, emotionless eyes.

Yes, the gray mass that he couldn't see clearly before now allowed him to see a pair of eyes that made him feel cold from head to toe.

Xuan was very sure that they were human eyes, but they were completely devoid of emotion.

Being watched by such eyes, Xuan's back was immediately covered in a layer of cold sweat, and his mind was frozen. He couldn't think of anything, and a blankness seemed to engulf him.

The owner of the cold eyes in the room only glanced at him and continued to do what he was doing.

Only later, he intentionally let the girl's smooth body turn towards him.

As if wanting him to steal a full view at once.

The girl kept her eyes closed, not even noticing his presence.

Xuan couldn't open his mouth, couldn't move his legs, and his brain had lost control.

The two extreme stimulations caused him to uncontrollably shed a long string of blue nosebleeds.

Seeing Xuan bleeding from his nose, the gray mass in the room chuckled softly.

Xuan didn't know what this laughter meant, but he saw the gray mass accurately pierce a silver needle into the girl's chest.

The small silver needle didn't seem to cause any wounds, but it was enough to place a pure and beautiful life in the wilderness of death.

Watching the girl's faint cries for help, Xuan didn't dare to stay any longer and ran away frantically.
