Chapter 28. They Sure Know How To Play (¬_¬)
After Ren Qingquan prepared his luggage and left, the remaining people in Formation Peak soon followed suit and sent their respective leave of absence.
Going outside the sect, at first all of them thought of using a normal horse to travel, until elder Zhang said she had better mounts. Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com
Following elder Zhang to Endless Mountain, she found several ferocious beasts that probably could run at high speed and fed them with a pill of hers.
Soon after, those ferocious beasts became tame.
But when Ren Qingquan looked at how those beast's eyes were losing focus while often drooling. He immediately placed fatty's aunt in his list of dangerous people that must not be offended.
'This woman is extremely dangerous!'
From the corner of his eye, Ren Qingquan could see his uncle's complexion turned weird after seeing the condition of those beasts while muttering how her skill has increased.
Remembering how elder Zhang seems to have some affection for third uncle, Ren Qingquan could only sigh in admiration for his uncle's ability to survive until now.
Just like that, 5 days pass with elder Zhang occasionally stopping to feed the beasts that mysterious medicinal pill of hers. During those five days, Ren Qingquan just chatted around with fatty to pass the time because he is already out of interesting novels to read.
He also occasionally helped fatty when the latter cooked ferocious beasts meat for the group to eat.
Which caused some shock to the group, as a chef capable of cooking ferocious beast meat is quite rare, and fatty Zhang is actually one of them.
That afternoon they could finally see the blue sea. From their current location, the group could even see a vague silhouette of an island which is the Meteor Island they are looking for.
"Let's make some rafts."
Looking at the sea, senior brother suggested while pointing at the surrounding trees.
Just when everyone prepared to take action and chop some trees, elder Zhang spoke.
"Have you guys already learned some agility skills to keep balance?"
Hearing her question, everyone reflectively nodded.
"Then, wait a moment."
The group waited for what elder Zhang was going to do. Then they saw her take one flower vase-like container containing some pills from her clothes before throwing one of those things to the sea.
Next, many fishes arrived at the pill's location but floated soon after nibbling at that pill.
After half an hour, a massive wave could be seen at the shore. With a big splash, a huge fish at Martial Saint realm jumped toward the pill floating above the water.
After eating that pill, the huge fish almost floated like other fish until the elder Zhang fed it another pill and proceeded to jump above it.
"Hop on, also prepare your agility skills."
Standing above the fish just like elder Zhang is, all of them circulated their blood energy and activated their agility skills to attach their legs on that fish.
When elder Zhang saw everyone already standing at the fish, she dipped her hand coated in some liquid thing in the water in front of the giant fish toward Meteor Island. The fish sensing that liquid, moved toward it with a jolt and started to swim quickly in Meteor Island's direction.
15 minutes later they finally arrived at Meteor Island. The fish that took them here finally leave heroically into the sea after sending its passenger off.
Upon landing in the island, all of them started hunting some wild animals on the island while also gathering several plants following fatty's guide.
Next, except for fatty Zhang that is cooking, all of them begin to pitch their tent.
When everyone is busy building their tent, Ren Qingquan could see elder Zhang adding some dust like things to one of the leg meat while fatty is not looking.
Suddenly, both of their eyes met and she made a shushing gesture toward him.
Realizing he saw her act, elder Zhang smiled and continued pitching her tent as if nothing happened.
'Guess what? Let's just eat vegetarian food for today.'
Although Ren Qingquan only saw her put that powder in one of the meat. He prefers not to eat any meat at all for today.
During the meal, he saw the third uncle eating the meat coated in elder Zhang's mysterious powder while elder Zhang just smiled and looked at uncle.
Not long after, the Azure Emperor is greeted by ten people wearing luxurious clothings.
From the energy they released, he is sure all ten of them are Martial Emperor level.
"Azure Emperor, what is the reason your esteemed self decided to pay a visit to our Martial Spirit Sect?"
One of the elders asked about the Azure emperor's reason to visit them.
"Nothing much, We are just thinking about taking some souvenirs from this world. Because soon, We are going to leave this world to seek eternal life."
"Leave? Where to? Also, what about the Great Azure Empire?"
Listening to that elder's question Azure Emperor answered with some random thing first.
"My apologies, it seems I still have the habit of calling myself using We. Anyway, I have abdicated as an emperor. I come here mainly to take some of your treasured weapons to prepare for my journey."
Hearing Azure Emperor's calm narration, all of the Martial Emperor are confused before turning angry. One of them even laughed seemingly in anger.
"Hahaha. You sure talk big! Do you think of us as a push over to be trampled all over the place?! If you really think you are worthy then try to take it from our hands!"
After saying his word, that Martial Emperor stepped hard while pulling his treasured sword. Gathering the power of nature at the blade of his sword, he slashed hard at Azure Emperor.
Answering the attack from that Martial Emperor, he just waved the sleeve of his emperor robe to nullify it.
Looking at how Azure Emperor nullified his attack at ease. That Martial Emperor asked in shock.
"Have you broken through the past Martial Emperor realm?!"
"Indeed, that is why I dared to come here."
Quickly exchanging glances between them, one of the Martial Emperor quickly ran toward the bell tower located at central peak.
Sensing something wrong, the Azure Emperor quickly tried to attack that person.
When he just waved his hand to throw some palm skill, the surrounding nine Martial Emperors made their moves.
Using five treasures including the sword on the first Martial Emperor's hand they successfully parried his attack.
*Boom*
One of the palaces got destroyed from his palm attack they parried. Sensing their intent to buy some time, he quickly gathered the surrounding energies and dealt several palm attacks in succession.
This time, he successfully dealt damage to them and made two treasured weapons of theirs to be thrown from their control.
Raising his hand, the Azure Emperor sucked a treasured sword and a jade seal that got thrown toward his palm.
When he just prepared another round of attack, the Martial Emperor running toward the bell tower finally arrived.
Gathering the surrounding natural energies, that Martial Emperor rings the bell with full power while choosing Azure Emperor as its target.
*Ding*
With a crisp bell sound, the Azure Emperor could feel himself knocked back quickly, destroying several buildings on his way.
*Ding*
Soon, that Martial Emperor continued to ring the bell while targeting the Azure Emperor.
This time, he could feel himself getting slightly injured and decided to escape.
While leaving toward the core of Endless Mountain, Azure Empire gets lost in thought.
'It seems I must stop this bad habit of mine. showing off before battle might seriously affect its result. Also, as expected of the Martial Spirit Sect that has survived through several eras, they actually have a weapon capable of stopping someone at my level.'
Looking at the gains from this battle, he nodded.
'At least, I have gained two weapons which should be enough to open the void and leave this world.'
