Chapter 523: Eight Stars Fall To The Ground! (1/2)

“Don't put on an act before me.” An icy-cold voice came from the depths of the stone chamber. In a place where the light could not s.h.i.+ne stood a man whose whole body was wrapped in a black robe, and was shrouded in darkness all over. His body was hazy, like a malicious spirit from the underworld. “Who doesn't know that little dragon has reached Wind city, do we need your little toads there to play the trick of catching b.a.l.l.s?”

“The guy unable to see people, what qualifications do you have to criticise my instrument that can measure the seasonal winds and the movements of the Earth?” The bearded old man said with a sneer. “If you can keep that evil dragon here, why did you invite me from my Heavenly Blanket Mountain? Since you said you know that the little dragon has arrived, then why are you still standing here? The dragon is here, where is the dragon?”

Why should I explain what I do to others? I go where I want, and I stay where I want. What can you do to me?” The icy-cold voice was increasingly ear-piercing.

“Then go, what are you doing here with me? This is my resting place, it is the location of my instrument, why are you here?”

“State teachers, state teachers.” A man in silk robes came in with a smile, “I can hear your argument from afar. You are the King of the Ghost region and you are the Earth Immortal of Heavenly Blanket Mountain. Both of you are well known across the Divine Continent. How can you let the trifling matter of a little dragon affect your good relations.h.i.+p?”

Next to the shadow sat a dark-clothed, black-haired, cold and gloomy youngster on the ground with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes and nodded at the man dressed in a silk robe: “Uncle.”

“I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you lately?” The man in the silk robe smiled and greeted the black-clothed youngster.

“Good.” The black-clothed youngster responded with one word before he closed his eyes again. On his crossed legs was a strange, dark, slender sword.

“It was that ghostly thing who insulted people first.”

“Gong Zhouyi, you think I don't dare to take your life?”

“There is naturally n.o.body that the Ghost King doesn't dare to kill, but whether you can kill is another matter.”

“You dare look down on me?”

“You're too arrogant.”

“I am going to test whether you have really reached the Earth immortal realm.”

“I also want to know if the King of the Ghost Region deserves his reputation.”

Inside the shadow, the black wind was howling.

On top of the stone coffin, the eight golden toads croaked disorderly, eyes glowing red.

“State teachers, don't get aggravated. We gathered here in preparation for the arrival of that evil dragon. Now that the dragon has arrived the two state teachers are fighting because of a little misunderstanding. If the evil dragon escapes, n.o.body will dare blame the two state teachers, but Bolai's punishment will be severe.” The man in a silk robe gave a cupped fist salute to the two men, “Can you give a little face to Bolai?”

Hearing the silk-robed man say this, the black wind subsided, the golden toads quieten down, no longer croaking incessantly.

Yan Bolai came to the shadow to give a deep bow: “Thank you, Lord.”

And then bowed deeply to the bearded old man. “Thank you, Lord Earth immortal.”

It was only then that Gong Zhouyi's expression eased a little, looking at Yan Bolai, he said: “City Lord Yan, since this matter is overseen by you then we should listen to the order. This instrument, which can measure the seasonal winds and the movements of the Earth, can glimpse into the secrets of the world, imagine the big from the small, and observe the great dragon from the tiniest place. As long as that little dragon comes, he can't escape from my detector instrument. The detector ball fell from the southeast corner just now, indicating that the dragon had come from the southeast. There the dragon qi had broken the balance of s.p.a.ce, which suggests the dragon had already fought with someone and his killing intent is ignited. Otherwise, the dragon qi would not have leaked, the essential qi would not have leaked, the detector ball inside the lion's mouth of the instrument would not have fallen.”

“The detector instrument is a treasure of the divine continent, and the information it monitors is naturally true.” Yan Bolai smiled. “The evil dragon's sister, Li s.h.i.+nian, is being held there, he must have went to save his sister first.”

“His parents are in the stone chamber behind us, but we have deliberately set up a barrier here, so that he cannot sense their presence.” Gong Zhouyi looked at Yan Bolai, saying: “If that evil dragon cannot detect traces of his parents, or mistakenly thinks that his parents are dead, wouldn't he go and escape?”

“No,” Yan Bolai answered with a smile. “Lord Earth immortal has forgotten that Li Muyang is from my Jiangnan city. I am acquainted with him and know a lot about him. He is tough, fierce and determined; he will not give up until his goal is reached. The reason why we hid his parents here is to increase the difficulty of his search, to increase the realness of the drama. If you hide them in a place that can be seen at a glance, he most likely will hesitate to come forward, isn't that right?”

“They're creating disturbance outside the city just to get the attention of people like Lu Wuyong. But what they do not know is that, besides Lu Wuyong, we still have the Ghost King immortal and Earth Immortal here.”

“I'm not an immortal.” The voice from the shadow sounded again, as ear-piercing as before. “Those who pretend to be an immortal are all liars. How would there be immortals on this world? I am a ghost, a malicious ghost who specialises in taking the life of humans.”

“Yes, yes, Lord Ghost King please don't get angry.” Yan Bolai came to the shadow and bowed apologetically once again. “Ghost King is the King of the Ghost Region, but also a Starry Sky cultivator who Bolai extremely respects.”

“When will that little dragon come? I want to kill him soon, to avoid neglecting today's practice.”

“He should be here soon?” Yan Bolai said.

He knew that the idiot son of Lu Wuying was very friendly towards Li s.h.i.+nian and goes to see her everyday.

If Li Muyang had really gone to save his little sister first, then the first thing he do will be to suppress Lu Lin. Once Lu Lin is in that boy's hand, it will be a very simple task to ask for the whereabouts of his parents.

Presumably he will feel much safer with an answer obtained from taking a life?

When that boy breaks into this place, even if he has wings, there is no way he can escape.
