Chapter 906 - The Enemy Territory

Thanks to Li Mo Zhen, their smooth acting was able to ride the Sword Saint sect to enter Yu Jin city, the reason they had to go to that city was none other than because they wanted to finish off the Heaven's Gate sect because they knew Wei Zu Tian wouldn't let them go so instead of waiting for Wei Zu Tian's next attack it would be best if they attacked the Heaven Gate Sect first especially while they were still battered from their defeat in the whispering forest, after all, it's better to hit Iron while it's still hot.

Meanwhile, they also got acquainted with people from the Sword Saint Sect, it turned out that the young man was the next heir of the Sword Saint Sect, his name was Tao Bing Wen and the man they spoke to was the Sword Saint Sect leader right -hand man Tao Jing Xi and his name are Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao was assigned to protect Tao Bing Wen after the boy insists to hunt down a sacred beast named Huan, the beast is known to live in the deep of the mountain, the beast has three eyes and three tails with an appearance similar to a giant cat.

The reason Tao Bing Kami chased the sacred Beast because he was mocked by one of the Sacred Sword sect members who say that he was a disgrace for the Sword Saint sect, he was weak and useless and nothing alike with his powerful grandfather Tao Jing Xi or his talented Father Tao Ji Fang, even though at the end the one who mocked Tao Bing Wen was punished but Tao Bing Wen still couldn't forget what they say about him.

Therefore, he insisted on hunting sacred beasts to prove his worth of course his father who knew Tao Bing wen's ability all too well refused his son's request flatly but Tao Bing Wen didn't back down, and then one day he snuck out of his home so he can hunt the Beast if that not stupid enough Tao Bing Wen also brought two his female companion to accompany his suicide adventure.

When Tao Bing Wen's father found out about this he was enraged then immediately sent his most trusted subordinate to take the stupid boy back home, unfortunately, Tao Bing Wen refused to go home without killing the sacred beast He also threatened Yang Zhou that he would commit suicide if Yang Zhou forced him to return. Therefore, Yag Zhou was helpless, still, to ensure Tao Bing Wen's safety, he agreed to help Tao Bing Wen kill the sacred beast.

Tao Bing Wen didn't dare to come home because he had bragged in front of everyone that he will kill Huan the sacred beast so if he came home empty-handed people will definitely mock him? Tao Bing Wen shuddered at the thought of people laughing at him if it really happened Tao Bing Wen didn't know how he could raise his head again among his sect members let alone lead them.

Of course, Yang Zhou didn't tell frankly but guessed from his demeanor and how Tao Bing wen bragging that he will kill the Sacred Beast with his own hands they pretty much know what happened, meanwhile, the only ones encouraging Tao Bing Wen were the two beautiful girls who were his friends while Yang Zhao and others looked at Tao Bing wen with a resigned look.

But they were not alone because the Li Mo Zhen and the Mong brothers also did not expect how stupid Tao Bing Wen was, how could this stupid young man be related to Tao Ji Feng and Tao Jing Xi who were famous for their intelligence and strength, Tao Jing Xi himself was famous because with his own hands he made the Sword Saint Sect the second strongest sect on the Hwang Wu continent only one level below the Heaven's Gate Sect.

The shocked looks of Li Mo Zhen and the Mong brothers at Tao Bing Wen's stupidity were misinterpreted by Tao Bing Wen as an expression of admiration as he felt even more convinced by his decision. Tao Bing Wen puffed out her chest with a smug smile.

[Aaah, how nostalgic...] Girsha sighed.

[What do you mean?] Lory hearing Grisha's comment through telepathy asked in confusion.

Girsha then nonchalantly replied [Doesn't he like you?]

[What, me? Impossible!] Lory rebuked strongly and also felt offended to be compared to that stupid young boy.

[You, don't remember? when you were eleven you hunted the white eye Behemoth alone and almost died because our powers weren't fully synchronized because you were too young, luckily Marcus and the ArchKnight came just in time!] Girsha reminded her.

[Hey I'm eleven so naturally, I'm a bit stupid after all that Behemoth has a limp one of its front legs so I guess....]

[Behemoth is as strong as a celestial beast in this world not to mention Behemoth is famous for being fierce, I don't know how many hunters died in its claws, you're lucky you didn't die then] Girsha laughed at him now but at that time she panicked and forced herself to merge with Lory, unfortunately, Lory's body still too small and unable to bear Girsha enormous strength, as a result, their power collide and exploded even though the power manage to kill the giant beast but Lory also almost died from it, If not because her healing gift and Marcus found her in a right time there's no question that Lory will be dead.

Luckily everything ended well but Lory was punished for a month and added to the punishment she had an extra lesson with Fred and Fargo who were ten times scarier than the ferocious Behemoth.

Lory recalled the memory and shuddered not because of the giant Behemoth but because of the amount of homework she got from Fred and the spartan lessons from Fargo, it was also the first time Lucas had ignored her in anger at the reckless behavior she made, Lory recalled at that moment she felt so guilty she almost cried.

[I made a mistake alright….but I don't do it to show off, like that young man, you know!] Lory still tries to defend herself.

[Yes, you are much more worst than him because you did it out of curiosity....] Girsha rebuked her.

[…] Lory admits she was wrong.

"So, where is this sacred Beast Huan you searching for?" Li Mo Zhen continues to ask.

Tao Bing Wen's eyes flashed excitedly, "It's in the Empyrean green forest!"

Immediately Lory, Yang Xing, and the other's attention perks, Empyrean Green Forest is the forest surrounding Yin Shan Mountain so coincidentally they were heading to the same place however, Lory and the others tacitly agree to avoid Tao Bing Wen and his group because, to be honest, Tao Bing Wen seemed quite troublesome.

"Young Master you should think again, the empyrean green forest is filled with high-level beasts that are even stronger than the Huan, it cannot be counted how many great and experienced cultivators have died in that place, I also heard according to people who live near the forest, there is a strange vibe that suddenly came from the Yin Shan mountain that usually quiet for hundreds of year. 

Some people think Yin Shan mountain is somehow reactivated again, everyone worries the Yin Shan mountain will be erupted so many villages near the forest become empty because the villager moves out" Yang Zhao solemnly warned Tao Bing Wen.

Tao Bing Wen who had a bit of gut was actually scared after hearing Yang Zhao's explanation but considering his reputation was at stake Tao Bing Wen still persistent "No, I will stay there or else, everyone will doubt my abilities if it continues how can I lead my sect in the future?!" After expressing his stance vigorously Tao Bing Wen was a little embarrassed by the gazes of the people around him, but suddenly his two beauties looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"Young master is right, you are actually very talented, I believe you can do it!" said one of the beautiful women named Han Shi Jiao who turned out to be Tao Bing Wen's childhood sweetheart.

"That's right, with great determination I believe young master's wish will prevail, after all, I will be here to support you," said another beauty named Xi Dai Yu who was Tao Bing Wen's senior in the Sword Saint sect, compared to Han Shi Jiao, she is more mature but she is still sixteen years old so she is still stupid enough to follow Tao Bing Wen despite knowing his lack of ability maybe she thinks she is strong enough to help him but that's another stupid assumption.

It took a whole day until they finally arrived at the Yu Jin city gate, looking at the long queue in front of the gate one could see how strict the inspection was for those entering the city, but when Yang Zhou showed his identity the guard's stern face changed instantly, they suddenly smile amicably and kindly invites them in without asking Li Mo Zhen who acted as their group leader too many questions.

However Lory felt several guards checking her, thankfully Lory's ordinary appearance didn't attract too much attention but they glanced at Yang Xi Ying a few times, however, after seeing her slightly bulging stomach their suspicions immediately disappeared after all who in their right mind would infiltrate enemy territory while pregnant? well, they were right, too bad they didn't know Yang Xi Ying.

"Master Yang, Young Master Tao, thanks for your help, we will not trouble you any further" Li Mo Zhen bowed his head politely.

"Don't mention it, wish your brother-in-law get well soon." Yang Zhou replied politely.

"Thank you for your kind words," Li Mo Zhen said with a smile.

After they exchanged prayers, the two groups split up, Lory saw the group of Sword Saints disappear among the crowd then she turned towards Mong Ki "Let's go..."

"Yes madam" Mong Ki gave a firm nod, they became even more alert as they closed the Heaven's Gate sect territory.
