Chapter 313 - The Strange Vanishing of Qin Hao (2/2)

”The ultimate treasure?” An indiscernible edge was projected from Ye Tianping eyes, ”Master, do you mean...?”

”The Square Livid Dragon Cauldron.”

Although Ye had guessed the answer, he was still greatly shocked when Gu Hong said it in person.

It was all right that disciples of the Medicine Sect did not hear of other treasures, but they must have known the Square Livid Dragon Cauldron. It was the totem and the most sacred thing worshiped by all members. It was also the sacred treasure by which the ancestors established the Medicine Sect.

Everyone knew that originated in the Ancient Martial World, the Medicine Sect was well-known for medication alchemy. The Square Livid Dragon Cauldron was the most powerful and the highest-ranked vessel, which could make pills that the whole Martial Cultivation World were crazy for. In this way, the Cauldron was a semi-divine artifact.

Every year, the Medicine Sect would hold a ceremony to worship the Square Livid Dragon Cauldron. But it was the picture of this treasure that they worshiped at the rite. No one had ever seen the real Cauldron.

It was said that it was lost when the Medicine Sect moved to the Semi-Ancient Martial World. For hundreds of years, successive leaders tried their best to find it but they did not know it was right beneath their base.

But now in this empty room, they still could not see the Cauldron.

”Master, is the Square Livid Dragon Cauldron really here?” Ye Tianping looked around this underground room and the doubt on his face became more.

”Watch Qin Hao and you'll see it is right here.” Saying this, Gu Hong turned his eyes to Qin Hao.

So Ye also fixed his eyes on him.

At this time, changes around Qin Hao got weirder. He had fallen into an unconscious state and the green jade was floating over his head. The color of the light became denser. In the end, it turned dark green.

The dark green jade started to rotate over Qin Hao's head. As a result, streams of air formed a violent storm and a vortex, which then revolved rapidly. Qin Hao's hair was raised upright and the edge of his clothes also rolled upward.

Next moment, something amazing happened. Qin Hao himself took off from the ground and headed to the whirl automatically.

”Hao!”

Ye Tianping screamed and was about to rush forward when Gu Hong gave a loud and stern shout.

”Tianping, don't move. Let him go.”

Ye Tianping paused and in this instant, Qin Hao was sucked into the vortex and disappeared.

”Master, Hao was...”

”Don't worry. He will be all right.”

Gu Hong answered calmly. With a relieved smile, a word was whispered out from his mouth: ”Truly he is the chosen one.”

A while after Qin Hao was sucked into the vortex, the strange phenomenon disappeared with it. The Dragon Soul Jade also vanished. It looked like nothing had happened and all was just an illusion.

Ye Tianping looked at where Qin Hao left from his sight transfixed. He scratched his head hard: ”Master, where did Hao go?”

”He went to the world of the Livid Dragon Cauldron. As for what it is like, I don't know either, for I'm not the chosen one and have no opportunity to see the real Cauldron.” Gu Hong smiled bitterly.

Ye Tianping frowned. Even a powerful man like Gu Hong was not the chosen one, in other words, the inheritor. Then why it was Qin Hao? What was special in him?

No one, even including Gu Hong could answer this question. It was totally under the guide of the Dragon Soul Jade that he found Qin Hao.

As for which world Qin Hao went to, only he himself knew.

...

The night was late. If counted by the urban time, it was already past three o'clock. This was the most dangerous time with the night dark and the wind strong.

In the tavern at the foot of the Medicine Sect mountain, Shadow just fell asleep when a light knock woke her up.

”Little Sister, let's move.”

Outside the door came his Senior's low voice.

Shadow got up instantly. As the mission would start at any minute, she slept clothed so that she could rise from bed immediately.

She took a short moment to make her clothes neat, and then flashed out of her room. Outside there had been more than ten black figures waiting for the order. The head was certainly Ghost.

Ghost glanced at the crowd and asked in a low voice: ”Is everyone here?”

All the black figures nodded as a response.

”Great. I have just received the message that the target will show up soon. Now go to your post and the action begins.”

As Ghost waved his hand, the order was taken by the black figures. Then they vanished to their own position as arranged beforehand.

”Senior, what should I do?” Shadow found she had not been assigned to any task.

”Just stay by my side.” Ghost answered indifferently.

”By your side?” Shadow was shocked.
