Chapter 1237: Crossing the Ruo Shui River with Their Body
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Soon, Han Xue Nai arrived at the Ancient Desert City in the northern desert along with the three little fellows.
In Skywolf Fort, the Fort Master, Qing Lang was shocked when he saw Han Xue Nai return. Fortunately, he told Han Xue Nai about the last time he saw Duan Ling Tian in time. Otherwise, he would have probably been skinned alive.
The three little fellows trailing behind Han Xue Nai stared at him as if they were gawking at a delicious dish.
Their three pairs of sparkling little eyes made his blood curdle.
"Let's go back to the Ten Great Dynasty and take a look." Qing Lang's clue was not very useful, so Han Xue Nai decided to return to the Ten Great Dynasty to find out whether her Brother Ling Tian was in the Darkhan Dynasty.
The Darkhan Dynasty was the source of Brother Ling Tian's roots.
"Little Black, Little White, and Little Gold… Let's go." Han Xue Nai called out to the trio and took the lead to fly away from the Ancient Desert City. They headed towards the south where the Ten Great Dynasty was.
After Han Xue Nai left along with the three little fellows, the Fort Master of Skywolf Fort, Qing Lang only recovered from the shock after a long time. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Those three children don't seem to be human… When they stood in front of me, I felt like I was facing my ancestors. Of course, it wasn't too strong a sensation." Qing Lang still had some lingering fear when he thought of the earlier scene.
As a demon, what more a demon close to the dog type, his sense of smell and intuition were extremely sharp. Therefore, he noticed that the three little fellows beside Han Xue Nai were not human.
Not only were the harmless-looking children not human, but they even gave him a spine-chilling feeling.
Particularly, when their gazes fell on him, it was as if they wished to swallow him alive!
With the trio, Han Xue Nai quickly entered the Ten Great Dynasty area. They circled the Darkhan Dynasty, but they could not find any trace of Duan Ling Tian.
At once, they left the Darkhan Dynasty and the Ten Great Dynasty altogether.
They passed through the northern desert and headed further north.
"If Brother Ling Tian really did leave, he would've departed from here," Han Xue Nai secretly guessed.
She quickly arrived at the Northern Mountain Land along with the three little fellows.
At the Northern Mountain Land, she finally got another clue.
"Brother Ling Tian was at the Northern Mountain Land. He came across something called the Lu Clan!" Han Xue Nai learned this piece of news.
However, when she was ready to head to the Lu Clan, she heard that the Lu Clan had been destroyed and no longer existed.
"Who the hell was it? They dared to destroy the Lu Clan with which Brother Ling Tian stayed!" Han Xue Nai's face sank as she muttered in a low voice. Her eyes were laced with coldness. "If I know who did it, I won't let him go!"
"I'm going to eat him!" Little Gold gnashed her teeth and growled angrily, but she did not look fierce given her appearance as a little girl.
"Brother wouldn't have gotten into an accident, would he?" Little Black and Little White were a bit worried.
Shortly after, Han Xue Nai heard another thing about Brother Ling Tian.
"Brother Ling Tian left the Lu Clan before it was destroyed? Was it possible that he crossed the Ruo Shui River and went to the Inner Land in the Cloud Continent?" Han Xue Nai had obtained that intelligence from someone who used to be close to the Clan Leader of the Lu Clan.
"We'll go to the Inner Land!" As long as there was a clue, Han Xue Nai would not let it go. She continued heading north along with the three little fellows and quickly reached the banks of the Ruo Shui River.
At the banks of the Ruo Shui River, Yin Yang Sect's swift boat no longer existed. Instead, it was replaced by the Ling Tian Sect's swift boat.
Originally, Han Xue Nai did not plan to take the swift boat.
With their strength, the Ruo Shui River did not pose any threat to them. Previously, when they arrived at the outer land, they had already crossed the Ruo Shui River.
"Ling Tian Sect?" However, this time by the Ruo Shui River, Han Xue Nai happened to hear about the Ling Tian Sect from the gossip around her.
Han Xue Nai frowned slightly. "I remember the last time I came to the Cloud Continent… The swift boat along the Ruo Shui River should belong to the Yin Yang Sect or something. It has just been a few years. How come it's been changed to the Ling Tian Sect?"
"This Ling Tian Sect has the same name as Brother Ling Tian. Could it be related to Brother Ling Tian?" Soon, Han Xue Nai and the three little fellows looked at each other and saw the same understanding in each other's eyes.
Han Xue Nai landed and stared at the person who had mentioned the Ling Tian Sect as she asked bluntly, "The Ling Tian Sect that you guys were talking about… What's going on with that? I remember that the swift boat here still belonged to the Yin Yang Sect a few years ago."
"Miss, don't you know about the Ling Tian Sect?" That person was sizing Han Xue Nai up in surprise. Then, he added, "The Yin Yang Sect you mentioned is old news… The Yin Yang Sect was renamed the Ling Tian Sect almost two years ago."
"Why did they change their name?" Then, Han Xue Nai vaguely realized that the Ling Tian Sect might actually be related to her Brother Ling Tian.
This piece of information made sense to her when she figured that the point when Yin Yang Sect was renamed into Ling Tian Sect was only a few months apart from the time her Brother Ling Tian had left the Lu Clan.
"From what I've heard, a powerful existence went to the Yin Yang Sect in rage because of his confidante. He killed the Peak Master of Yang Peak from the Yin Yang Sect and became the Sect Leader of the Yin Yang Sect." Han Xue Na's source told everything he knew about what happened. "After that, he renamed the Yin Yang Sect to the Ling Tian Sect."
"Speaking of the Sect Leader of the Ling Tian Sect, he is indeed legendary… First, he killed many leaders of first-rate forces by himself and then he recruited a lot of grade one weapons craftsmen and grade one alchemists for the Ling Tian Sect." He was amazed while he shared.
"Do you know what is his name?" Han Xue Nai's breathing quickened as she asked hurriedly.
"Duan Ling Tian."
"It really is Brother!" Little White's eyes lit up suddenly as her chubby face became flushed and seemed beautiful.
"Brother's become a Sect Leader… I want to be the guardian of the Ling Tian Sect!" Little Black's eyes glowed as he said excitedly.
"Hmph! I want to be Ling Tian Sect's largest guardian," Little Gold said pressingly, not wanting to be outdone by Little Black.
"I want to be the largest largest guardian!" Little Black insisted again.
"If you're the largest largest guardian, then I'll be the largest largest largest guardian!" Little Gold followed.
…
As Little Black and Little Gold started arguing again, Han Xue Nai couldn't help but have a headache. However, once she thought of the news about Duan Ling Tian, she smiled again.
Many people around them felt speechless when they heard the conservation between Little Black and Little Gold.
Wanted to be the guardian of Ling Tian Sect?
With these two little fellows?
In the beginning, they thought that it was impossible that these two outrageously young children had the strength to be the guardian of the Ling Tian Sect.
On second thought, they felt that something was amiss.
"God! How old are they? How can they control air and fly?" Many people finally reacted in astonishment.
"To be able to control the air and fly, they'll need to be at least at the Void Prying Stage… Unless the cultivation base of these three little fellows has already broken through to the Void Prying Stage?" More people were shocked by that speculation.
The three children before them did not look more than ten years old.
Yet, could there possibly be a martial artist on Void Prying Stage who was younger than ten years old?
"Unless they were demons?" Some of them guessed, but some others quickly vetoed it. "Look at them. They look as innocent as a child… Those demons that could transform were mostly aged. Do you think they could maintain such a level of innocence?"
Many people agreed with this.
For a time, Little Black, Little White, and Little Gold became the center of attention.
"Little Black, Little White, and Little Gold… We should go."
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Han Xue Nai called out to the three little fellows and then took the lead and flew off towards the Ruo Shui River. Her figure vanished before everyone's eyes.
"So fast!" The group of people by the Ruo Shui River never thought that the girl who looked around sixteen or seventeen had such terrifying strength.
Merely judging from her speed, they could see that she was very powerful.
The fact that they could not catch sight of her figure meant that they were weaker than her.
Soon, they were stunned again because they discovered that the three children, whom they thought were Void Prying Stage martial artists, chased after the girl and vanished before their eyes in the blink of an eye.
"How's that possible?!"
"I couldn't possibly catch up with their speed!"
"So, it seems like they're possibly demons in the form of humans. They could've maintained their innocence because of the lack of interaction between humans and demons."
…
Currently, more people were guessing that the Little Black, Little White, and Little Gold were demons. They even felt that Han Xue Nai was one too.
After all, a girl who looked around sixteen to seventeen years old with such a terrifying speed would not logically be human.
Shortly after that, someone reacted and realized that the direction Han Xue Nai and the three little fellows were headed in was the direction of the Ruo Shui River. At once, they broke out in cold sweat for them.
"They headed towards the Ruo Shui River… Are they trying to cross the Ruo Shui River with their physiques?"
"People who are able to cross the Ruo Shui River with their bodies alone are extremely frightening. If they weren't heading for death, their strength would be absolutely beyond our imaginations!" Someone gasped.
"They don't look like they're heading for death… So, it seems like they're four powerful demons," guessed someone else.
"That should be right." Many people agreed.
Han Xue Nai did not know what had happened on the banks of the Ruo Shui River after she left. Now, she was quickly flying across the Ruo Shui River towards the direction of the Inner Land with the three little fellows.
"Brother Ling Tian turns out to be a Sect Leader now… This time, I'll ask him to give me a position for fun when I see him." Han Xue Nai's eyes were gleaming with a mischievous glint.
