Chapter 48 Elders And Twins

The strong cry reverberated throughout the town, announcing everyone somethings arrival.

The crowd in the gate looked up and saw three shadows gradually becoming bigger.

Among the crowd were many cultivators, they immediately knew what those shadows were.

"Is that what I think it is?"

"Yes, you are right. It is the rare Flame Eagle Roc."

"I cannot believe I would be fortunate enough to see one."

"I heard they are good for carrying people because of their huge body size and the ability to fly longer in the sky than other flying beasts."

"Hmph, it is also great at fighting. I heard a matured Flame Eagle Roc is as strong as middle stage Soul Formation Realm."

Slowly, the flying beasts became visible to everyone.

The crowd became shocked by its sheer size and the pressure it was exerting.

"I see this every year, but it never fails to amaze me."

The local citizen who lived here has been seeing this beast everywhere but it still made them flabbergasted like other first timers.

The Flame Eagle Roc had a pair of wings that stretched across five houses in a row. Its feathers were spiky red, which looked like fire was coming out of them. The humans on its back were the size of its eyeballs. It had a long, sharp beak.

Shows

The moment the beasts landed on the ground, they blasted a strong wind that almost blew everyone in the air. Fortunately, the guards and the cultivators used their spiritual energy to block it.

After the dust settled, everyone saw the Flame Eagle Rocs glaring at them. They unleashed a murderous intent that sent everyone's heart racing.

"Hey, stop doing that. They are our people."

Suddenly, a calm and soothing voice sounded, which calmed the murderous intent in the air.

Step

They saw a slender man who was wearing a black daoist robe that had three white claw marks on his right chest. He had long black hair that was tied down by a ribbon.

Behind him were two other men who were wearing the same robe as him but who only had two white claw marks on their chests. They both had short green hair.

Like them, four more men were also there, and they had one claw mark.

After the beasts descended, a bunch of young people came down from the back of the flying beasts.

They were also wearing the same robes, but instead of claw marks, they had white dots on their chests. Some had one, and some had two.

A stern-looking man in armor was waiting in front of the gate. He walked forward and came before the slanderous-looking man.

The stern-looking man bowed a little and cupped his fist. "Greetings, Elder Odino."

The stern-looking man's name was Odino. He was one of the inner elders at the White Jade Sect.

Odino, with his hand behind his back, said."You have grown much bigger, Vik. I still remember you trying hard to survive among the inner disciples."

Vik's stern face vanished instantly and was replaced with embarrassment. He rubbed the back of his head and said."Elder Odino, please don't bring back such shameful memories."

"Hahaha…" Odino laughed and waved his hand. "You're the same as you've always been. Anyway, bring us to the arena. We have to quickly announce the participants about our first test."

"Yes, yes. Please come this way." Vik nodded his head and respectfully stepped to the side for Odino to go.

Odino walked forward, and behind him followed the two green haired men. Vik also showed respect to them by cuffing his fist. "Greetings, Elder Joy and Roy."

"Hmph, you hairy kid. Forget about us; go quickly escort Elder Odino." Joy ordered Vik, rudely.

Roy on the other hand, face palmed and said."Vik, forget what my brother said. Just keep doing what you've always done."

Vik, who was a bit stumped at first, quickly recovered and went to escort Odino.

After Vik was gone, Roy said to Joy."Brother, you have to be nicer to people."

"Heh? Why would I? I am just letting them know that the world is not as nice as it seems." Joy said that as he walked forward.

Roy followed beside him and said."You are right, brother. But still…Aghh…you know what….forget it."

These two were brother's born from the same mother. Their behavior might look like twins, but they are not. They were a sort of anomaly.

Roy was born first, and six months after his birth, Joy was born. The reason Joy was born late was because Joy's fetus needed much more time to grow.

Everyone wanted to say they were twins, but the one thing that needed at least to match to call them twins was their faces, and both looked totally different. Joy had a rough face, and Roy had a smooth, slightly feminine-looking one.

And the main thing, they were outer elders at the White Jade Sect.

The people behind them who had one claw mark were deacons of the White Jade Sect.

As you all have probably guessed by now, the number of claw marks represents their position in the sect. While the dots are for the disciples. One dot indicated that they were outer disciples, and two dots indicated they were inner disciples.

As the elders and deacons went to the arena, the disciples spread out into many corners of the town to enjoy their time. Many disciples were from other towns, so for many it was a totally new place.

The business seeing these disciples were drolling slightly. They seem to see walking and talking spirit stones.

…

Meanwhile, inside a small restaurant.

Two teenagers were sitting at the corner table. One of them was Niloy and other one was average looking boy. However, that was just a disguise, and under that disguise was none other than Gale.

Niloy pointed his head at the counter table, focusing on a mature man who was drinking beer.

Niloy spoke softly. "That is our target."
