Chapter 456: How to End the Old Grudge

Ning Que saw Xia Hou for the first time in Hulan Sea last year, and later they were face to face in Tuyang City. At that time, although Xia Hou had failed to possess the "Ming" Handscroll of the Tomes of the Arcane, and was forced to retire by the Academy, he was still calm, confident, and ambitious.

However, Xia Hou looked much older today. He was wearing a brand new suit of armor, his face was as cold and calm as usual and his body was tall and straight, but Ning Que swore the general smelled like a wet and mildewy woodshed.

Xia Hou suffered from continuous assassination attempts by the powerhouses in the Wilderness. Ning Que heard of this even though it was kept a secret by the Military Ministry.
