My Waste Husband -
Chapter 1348
Chapter 1348
After running for quite a while, Henry and Ranjeet finally found somewhere safe.
The old lady and the girl followed behind them, not losing their way in the fog.
"Phew, this should do. It should be safe here. That old fella won't be able to catch up with us for now." Ranjeet let out a sigh of relief, then greeted the girl. "Amitabha, I can see that your blood is rushing vigorously, you've possibly suffered some internal injuries. Please sit cross- legged and remove your clothes. I shall heal your wounds."
"Thank you, eminent monk, but that won't be necessary. We're just a little tired," the old lady replied on behalf of the girl.
Anyone could tell from the perverted look on Ranjeet's face that he was not a decent monk. However, seeing that he had helped them earlier, the old lady said no more.
Ranjeet ogled at the girl like the pervert he was, nearly drooling as he stared.
Henry was not interested in the cute girl before him. He asked bluntly, "Why did Joselito attack you? Are you also an inheritor?"
The moment the old lady heard Henry mention the word "Inheritor", her gaze turned much cautious instantly.
This time, it was the girl who took the initiative to nod and answer, "Yes."
The old lady tried to stop her, but it was too late. She moved closer to the girl, readying herself for the unexpected.
"No wonder." Henry narrowed his eyes. "You just yelled out Joselito's name. Have the both of you known each other for a long time?"
The girl nodded, then quickly shook her head. "I don't know him personally, it's just that the name Joselito has been widely spread among the inheritors. Every inheritor has their own uniqueness, but among inheritors, we all still get along with each other, until Joselito appeared. He plans to devour the inheritances of others. Within the last few months, two inheritors have already died in his hands. He searched for information about the other inheritors and hunted them like they were his food. Now there is no inheritor that doesn't know who Joselito is, he has destroyed the peace among the inheritors. There isn't a single person who doesn't want him dead, however his protector is too powerful."
Henry snorted coldly. "Someday, I'll slaughter him!"
The girl tilted her head a little and looked at Henry curiously. "You want to kill Joselito? Are you also an inheritor? I've never heard of you."
Henry shook his head and slowly took off his shirt.
"Hey, bro! You can't do that! I fancied this female benefactor first. You can't just do something like that. You don't even know her name yet. Put your clothes back on now!" Ranjeet rushed at Henry aggressively, trying to make Henry put his shirt back on.
Henry's muscular torso appeared before the girl's eyes.
Her pretty face flushed red instantly.
Henry pointed at the wound on his abdomen and said, "You inheritors should be able to feel it. This wound of mine has something to do with the sword that Joselito wields."
Upon hearing Henry's words, Ranjeet breathed a sigh of relief. "Bro, you could have just told me if you're just trying to show the wound. I nearly thought that you were going to transform."
The old lady fixed her eyes on Henry's abdomen and nodded. "Yes, this wound is caused by a fierce Qi from a sword, which is similar to sword technique of the Western Xia."
Henry put on his clothes. He had no intention of proving anything, he just felt the hostility of the old lady. That act of his was just to allow her to calm down. Regarding the matters of the inheritors, Henry still did not know much about it. He too, had just got to know that the inheritors had formed a community from the girl, and this group wished to get rid of Joselito as quickly as possible.
The enemy of his enemy was his friend. Henry knew very clearly how powerful Verrall was. He also knew that with his current strength, it would be very difficult for him to kill Joselito under Verrall's watch. These successors would provide good assistance someday.
Sure enough, the old lady calmed down and let her guard down after Henry's actions.
The girl's face returned to its normal complexion. She then told Henry her name.
The girl's family name was Wei, and her given name was Lan. The inheritance of the Wei family was not well known. It belonged to the branch of smaller inheritances and did not even have an ancestral ground of their own. Every one of their inheritances were handed down from one generation to the other. Wei Lan's ancestor, was brave fighter, and once broke the enemy defences of 300,000 men with just 100,000 soldiers, but it was not recorded in history, and because his contribution was not recognised, he was not given the honour of building his own ancestral ground.
The inheritance of the Wei Clan that was passed down in such a manner made it impossible for the heroic spirits within it to settle, and fell apart more and more from one generation to the other. As a result of that, the heroic spirits of the Wei Clan have lost all hope of awakening.
Wei Lan told Henry that almost every inheritor, except for those of Western Xia, Loulan and other top-tier inheritances, was in that state. It had been too long, even for the top- tier inheritance like
Western Xia. Its heroic spirit had gone into a slumber too deep. Joselito could only rely on devouring other heroic spirits to strengthen himself in order to awaken his heroic spirit one day.
This time, many inheritors have gathered at the Loulan ancestral grounds not because they had any ill intentions. They were very clear that with the inheritance energy they possessed; it was impossible for them to devour the inheritance of the Loulan ancestral grounds. Their reason for travelling all the way there was just to seek protection. Otherwise, the smaller inheritors would end up being devoured by Joselito sooner or later.
From Wei Lan's story, Henry roughly understood the problems regarding the power of the inheritors, Wei Lan also got to know Henry's
name.
"So what's your plan?" Henry asked.
"We intended to join forces and fight under the name for Loulan, but we all got separated the moment the formation of the Ancestral Ground of Loulan was activated." Wei Lan's face was filled with sadness. "The fog can block us out, but it won't stop Joselito at all. We originally had five people from the Wei family on this journey, but now, only the two of us remain, the other three have died in the hands of Joselito. We had noticed some markings that hinted us along the way, but other inheritors have also been attacked by Joselito. We don't know what has happened to them, so all we can do for now is to gather first and try to figure something out. If this goes on, we would all be devoured completely by Joselito before we could enter the Ancestral Grounds of Loulan."
Henry was puzzled. "Where are all of you planning to meet?"
Wei Lan replied, "One of the seniors left us with markings. As long as we follow them, we will be fine. We don't know where the meeting point is specifically for now. Brother Zhang, if you have
unfinished business with Joselito, you can come to the meeting point with us. We can all discuss about how to deal with Joselito together."
Henry nodded and said, "Let's go, then. I'll go to the meeting point with you."
Seeing that Henry was willing to join them, a happy smile appeared on Wei Lan's face instantly.
The old woman glanced around, then asked, "Henry, can the hidden master swordsman from back then join us?"
Henry had a puzzled look on his face. "What master swordsman?"
Upon seeing Henry's confused expression, the old lady just shook her head silently.
