Chapter 244: Once Affiliated with the Azure Dragon
"Behind me?" Evil Bird suddenly turned around but saw nothing. Yang Bin was still standing behind him, and just as Evil Bird turned back, Yang Bin made his move, directly grabbing Evil Bird by the neck.
Evil Bird coughed a few times, desperately clawing at the invisible hands around his neck. Seeing his flushed face, I couldn't help but chuckle; it was rare to see Evil Bird in such a predicament.
"Now do you understand what they are?" Divine Hand did not stop me from laughing and continued to speak from the side, perhaps thinking that "practical action" would be a better explanation.
After enjoying the moment for a while, Yang Bin appropriately released his grip and stood beside me, calm and composed, as if he hadn't just been choking someone.
"Cough cough cough, damn it, you little brat...!" Evil Bird covered his neck with one hand and pointed at me with the other, his eyes filled with rage. If he had a knife right now, he would definitely come over to stab me.
I shrugged helplessly; it wasn't my fault someone choked him. Look at me; I'm not the one you should be angry with—go find the person who did it.
However, judging by their expressions, they probably guessed what the "special power group" really was. I had long anticipated their astonishment, but seeing it firsthand was still quite satisfying!
"Pah! Don't get cocky, you brat! If you have guts, fight me one-on-one!" After regaining his composure, Evil Bird jumped up again.
"No zuo no die!" I couldn't be bothered to fight this guy and walked directly towards Divine Hand. I was no longer the reckless rookie I once was; I felt like I had touched the edges of Divine Sign, so I believed I had enough standing to sit among them.
"Evil Bird, you can't beat him now." Unexpectedly, Divine Hand stood up after saying this and glanced at me before addressing everyone: "Once you've rested enough, let's set off!"
Naturally, I straightened my chest in agreement with Divine Hand; indeed, having strength is important! As for Evil Bird's defeated expression, it was quite pleasing to see.
Naturally following along since we had encountered each other, I decided to walk with them. Considering they probably had as many clues as I did regarding our route, why not follow along with a free guide?
"Curious why I can see them?" Divine Hand asked.
"Yes!" I was indeed very curious.
"Hehe, guess for yourself," Divine Hand said teasingly.
I twitched at the corner of my eye. When did Divine Hand's personality become so unpleasant? If he didn't want to tell me, then why ask? Was he deliberately trying to keep me in suspense? Although I was angry, I soon realized that he probably didn't know my situation either. Since neither of us knew about the other's matters, it didn't seem so infuriating anymore; everyone had their own secrets... (But still, I really wanted to hit someone—ah~ ah~ ah~!)
Kong Guayan and White Two were holding a few sheets of paper in front, scouting the way. Yang Bin and the others were also intentionally separated by Divine Hand's people.
"You and Pei Zi seem to have a good relationship," Divine Hand said casually.
"Not bad," I replied briefly. Although I didn't know everything about Pei Zi, I felt he shouldn't harbor any hostility towards us.
Divine Hand showed no reaction to my answer and continued speaking to himself, "Now that you are here, can I assume you already know about those things?"
"Those? Which ones? Are you referring to the God Alliance or something?" I said nonchalantly, but I was actually paying close attention to his expression. This time, he spoke much more than before! Sure enough, when I mentioned "God Alliance," he didn't show any special reaction, clearly having known about their existence for a while.
"I didn't expect you to be so quick in uncovering secrets," Divine Hand remarked, whether sarcastically or as a compliment. I took it as a compliment and humbly replied, "Not at all. You all knew about this long ago; for someone like me who is still a junior, finding out now is quite late."
Divine Hand shook his head and smiled. He didn't say anything further. As I walked alongside them, I tried my best to recall the time spent with them and the suspicious things they had said. After thinking for quite a while, many details had faded due to the passage of time.
Which side did Divine Hand belong to?
It seemed unlikely that they were part of the Golden Eagle Sect or Black Blade... So could they possibly be from the Azure Dragon Organization? But when he mentioned my good relationship with Pei Zi, I thought I saw a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth?
Lost in thought, I blurted out, "Are you people from the Azure Dragon?"
Divine Hand paused in surprise and then stopped to look at me. I couldn't see his eyes but noticed his mouth moving as he spoke words that left me speechless: "Before asking this, have you considered your own position?"
My position? Again, my position!
"We, the League of Shadows, are temporarily neutral. As for which side to lean towards, we need to understand more facts, don't we?" I truly cannot determine who is right or wrong at this moment. Although I have touched the edge of the Divine Sign, I feel it may not be as we speculate, nor as simple as we currently think!
"Neutral? Heh..." The Divine Hand sneered again. Just when I thought he wouldn't respond, he calmly said, "We were once part of the Azure Dragon, but that is now in the past."
Once part of the Azure Dragon?!
I widened my eyes in surprise and looked at him. "Are you saying that you have separated from the Azure Dragon?"
"Yes, what about it?" Before the Divine Hand could answer, the Evil Bird had already stepped over to my other side, looking as if we were making a big deal out of nothing.
I twitched my lips, feeling quite surprised inside. I almost blurted out to ask them why they separated from the Azure Dragon, but I also knew that even if I asked, they probably wouldn't tell me.
Sure enough, just as I asked, they coldly refused to inform me.
Not getting the reason I most wanted to know left me a bit discouraged, but at least I learned an important fact. I really didn't expect that the Divine Hand and his group had actually separated from the Azure Dragon! Pei Zi and his group had never mentioned this to us. Thinking about how Pei Zi and Big Dragon entered here before us, they must have seen something or someone. So I asked, "Did you encounter Pei Zi and Big Dragon when you arrived? Or anyone else? Like my Spirit Department members?"
"You sure have a lot of questions!" Pei Zi didn't even look at me and merely moved his lips, saying expressionlessly.
"I'm just curious..." I felt a bit embarrassed; it seemed like I was being looked down upon.
