Chapter 196 - Decisions
Southern border, Ten Thousands Great Mountains
Before the vast Black Forest which Ghost Li and Jin PingEr had just traversed, stood a dozen people Most of ere FenXiang Valley’s elite disciples, led by Li Xun, a ShuShu fro Yun sect As for WenMin ith theation, h they were cultivated disciples but entering deep into the unfathoerous Ten Thousands Great Mountains, was still not an easy feat for the ShuShu, ere all well skilled, looked like their usual selves
Unfortunately, staring at that dark and mysterious forest in front of them, could not cheer anyone up
Above this stretch of black forest, the highly toxicby the sky was not possible With the Black Forest vast perio around the forest, in addition Li Xun who had taken the role as the guide had been very clear, that in accordance to the legends by the southern border natives, the Beast Deity’s lair was in the Subdue Devil ancient cave just behind this Dark Forest
This forest, walking through it seeht exuded fro in Lu XueQi’s hand, contrasting against her snohite and lonely figure Without WenMin, not only did she rarely spoke to Li Xun and the FenXiang Valley’s disciples, even Zeng ShuShu frohout the journey, the barren hills and wild rivers, poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, all of which would have terrifiedthe them doith her sword No one knehat her deepest inner thoughts were
Li Xun did not know, and neither did Zeng ShuShu Li Xun coughed discreetly towards Zeng ShuShu and asked in a low voice, “U senior brother,over in silence all day?”
Zeng ShuShu was non-plussed, smiled wryly, “Li senior brother, I think you have asked the wrong person!”
Li Xun glanced at hih
At theto prepare for the journey through the Black Forest, Lu XueQi stood alone, far away on a rock, surveying the distant hills Behind her, frequently there wereonto that delicate back figure
Li Xun and Zeng ShuShu stood aside, the for gri senior brother, we better invite Lu junior sister to coood?”
Zeng ShuShu nodded his head and agreed, “That is a good idea” He then turned around and walked to Lu XueQi, spoke to her in a low voice, Lu XueQi re ShuShu, she then looked at Li Xun, Li Xun forced a s aard
In a short while, Lu XueQi and Zeng ShuShu walked over together Li Xun coughed once and started the conversation, “It’s like this, once we have crossed this section of Black Forest, ill be close to the lair of the Beast Deity We…”
“Li senior brother!” Suddenly, Lu XueQi called Li Xun, interrupting his words
Li Xun was startled, since entering the Ten Thousands Great Mountains, it could be said that this was the first time Lu XueQi spoke to him, in surprise, he asked, “What is it?”
Lu XueQi looked at hi, said, “For the past few days, I have so that I don’t understand, and will like to ask Li senior brother”
Li Xun nodded his head and said, “Lu junior sister, please go ahead”
Lu XueQi’s expression did not soften from Li Xun's politeness, still asked in an icyValley, are all saying that this Ten Thousands Great Mountains is an extreerous place, even you all rarely enter too However, for some reason, on the way here, Lu senior brother you seemed to be very familiar with this place, couldn’t it be that you have been here before? And, the Beast Deity’s tracks are extremely furtive, not to mention how hidden the location of the lair is, hoould FenXiang Valley be so well infors?”
Li Xun’s expression reation, as if he was prepared He smiled and responded, “Lu junior sister, as I have told you earlier, in the past us FenXiang Valley indeed did not pay attention to the existence of this Ten Thousands Great Mountains, but when the catastrophe of demon beasts happened, it was only natural that we started paying attention to this place As for the lair of the Beast Deity, it is discovered when our disciples pursued the remnants of the de ShuShu and Lu XueQi frowned simultaneously, it was clear that this e at hi so confidently, they were unable to directly refute the story and so could only remained silent
Li Xun s of which reminded me, that senior sister WenMin from your honourable sect, before ere about to enter the Ten Thousands Great Mountains, suddenly had to return so abruptly to QingYun sect?”
Surprised, Zeng ShuShu couldn’t help but glanced at Lu XueQi before replying with a s urgent came up and senior sister WenMin had no choice but to return”
Standing by the side, Lu XueQi slightly cast her eyes doard, and did not speak The reason WenMin had to rush back to QingYun sect, not even Zeng ShuShu was not too clear about it, actually to say it, naturally it was because of that day in the Mountain River Hall, when Yun YiLan abruptly asked the one question about the ‘Zhu Xian Ancient Sword’
Not knowing the truth, Zeng ShuShu treated it as a joke and had forgotten about it, but after Lu XueQi and WenMin discussed, decided that it was no trivial matter and in the end decided that WenMin would rush back to QingYun Mountain and report the news to the various elders and teacher uncles, so as to be prepared for a change in situation After all, to the QingYun sect and the rest of the world, the significance of ‘Zhu Xian Ancient Sword’ was too iood relations with QingYun sect, and its leader Yun YiLan, the unexpected show this ti
However, the matter of the Beast Deity was also very iiven up So after deliberations, WenMin would return back to the QingYun Mountain, and Lu XueQi with Zeng ShuShu would re Valley this rich and powerful sect, at present see its odd behaviours
At present, Li Xun and Zeng ShuShu had already been discussing for a while,detailed plans for matters that required attention once they have entered the Black Forest Through this conversation, Zeng ShuShu learned many new unheard information about the Black Forest, a real-opener to hirossed in the conversation
Lu XueQi listened along, for soain and walk to the side, gazing off towards the horizon In the distance, faint outlines of huge undulating mountains, shaped the landscape under the wide blue sky, while cold histled past the Yun Mountain, Big Baht, while the Big Baht footsteps echoed from the Observed Silence Hall Contrary to his normal habits, Tian BuYi walked out, already dressed
The dawn’s light illurave expression, the shadows forhts in his mind SuRu followed from behind, and one could not tell if the couple woke up early or if they had not been able to sleep all night
SuRu’s face was lined with concern, as she walked out of Observed Silence Hall, she first looked at the disciples dormitory, saw that it peaceful as expected, spoke in a low voice, “BuYi, I still think what you are about to do is not right, we should discuss it further!”
Tian BuYi’s face solemn, his eyebrows never seemed to relax once, replied in a deep voice, “This er be delayed, ever since we came back from the Founders Ancestral Hall, Reverend DaoXuan senior brother’s condition has been getting worse Yesterday the news fro Tian Peak, heard that he actually laid hands on Fan elder and Xiao YiCai ent to persuade him”
SuRu surprised, said, “What, ould sect head senior brother fight, how are the both of them, what provoked sect head senior brother, was he hurt?”
Tian BuYi grunted and said, “What else would they fight about, naturally when they noticed DaoXuan senior brother behaving strangely, they went forward to advise I heard that DaoXuan senior brother was cordial at first, but I aument, with one palm strike, he immediately seriously injured Fan senior brother, luckily that kid Xiao YiCai was quick-witted enough and ed to escape in time”
