Chapter 527 - Blocking His Path (2/2)
On the other hand, Multi-armed King Kong walked normally behind. It was extremely fast too, but it was much slower than a Spirit Grade powerhouse going all-out.
Before long, Hong Feiyu spotted an elder on the path ahead. The elder smiled with his hands behind his back and was not surprised by the man’s arrival.
“Is that you, Brother Hong? I’m being discourteous.”
Hong Feiyu laughed out loud and cut to the chase. “Brother Wu, you don’t need to be so polite. I came by Brother Ou’s order to invite you over.”
He did not expose his ident.i.ty when he first arrived at Canghai City, but news spread after Ou Yangming seized him and asked for his name.
Wu Yuanwei nodded. “Master Ou’s a gifted genius that rose during the Humans’ disaster, and he’s the person that I respect the most throughout my life. Please lead the way, Brother Hong.” He cupped his hands at the man.
Hong Feiyu nodded as he was pleased. Back then, he was forced to follow Ou Yangming, or he could not have survived. Seeing as the only Spirit Grade powerhouse from this realm admired the young fellow so much, he felt better.
If Wu Yuanwei was indifferent toward Ou Yangming, Hong Feiyu would have pulled a long face at him.
When the two of them turned around, they saw Multi-armed King Kong’s mountainous body from afar. Hong Feiyu was already used to it, but Wu Yuanwei also kept a straight face, which astonished the man.
Such a giant beast was definitely distinctive in the lower realm as they could only be seen in the upper realm.
Despite that, the imperial family’s greatest powerhouse was not nervous at all when he saw the beasts for the first time, so it was quite strange.
With a flash of thought from Ou Yangming, Multi-armed King Kong, which was moving swiftly, stopped. It widened its eyes at Wu Yuanwei, who was as tiny as an ant in the distance, and it could not hide the scornful look on its face.
‘Is that the Humans’ greatest powerhouse in the lower realm?
‘Hmph, if it wasn’t for Master, I would’ve slapped you to death already!’
It regarded Ou Yangming as its master whole-heartedly, but it did not think about how discontent it was when it first met the young fellow in the past.
Ou Yangming jumped off the king kong’s back as well, and he used the tips of his toes to borrow force on different points on the beast’s body. He was treated differently from Hong Feiyu because the spirit beast had prepared all 8 of its palms and placed them at different heights, hence he did not need to worry at all.
In actual fact, if Ou Yangming was willing to, he could have asked Multi-armed King Kong to carry him to the ground with one hand, but he was not interested in such a pretentious act.
“Senior Wu, it has been a long time since we last met.” Ou Yangming did a fist salutation from a distance away.
Wu Yuanwei chuckled. He dared not consider himself an elder and returned the salutation as if they had the same seniority. “Master Ou, you were still at the peak of Yang Grade when we parted the last time. Congratulations on entering Spirit Grade.”
Ou Yangming shook his head. “Everything was by coincidence; I simply chanced upon it.”
“The people of our generation only look at the result, not the process. Since you’re that capable, the rest… Isn’t important.”
“Senior Wu, given that you’re visiting me halfway, I suppose you’re aware of the purpose of my trip,” Ou Yangming expressed after keeping quiet for some time.
“Of course.” Wu Yuanwei chuckled.
“Okay, I’ll be honest with you then—I’m here to take Old Man away,” Ou Yangming uttered sternly.
“We won’t stop him if he’s willing to leave,” Wu Yuanwei replied to him without any hesitation.
“Senior Wu, you’re a man of your word, so I trust you.” Ou Yangming laughed out loud. He knew the elder must have a way to not let Old Craftsman want to leave, but he was confident as long as he had the elder’s word.
Who knew, Wu Yuanwei suddenly asked, “Master Ou, may I ask where you’re going to bring Old Craftsman to?”
Ou Yangming pondered for a while but could not make up his mind.
He did not want to get involved in the fight between the imperial family and the inherited aristocratic families from the 8 counties, but unless he and the old man lived in seclusion in the forest, he was bound to be entangled in the matter regardless of the city he was in.
Wu Yuanwei stared at the young fellow and said, “Master Ou, I actually have a suggestion, and I was wondering if you’ll consider it.”
“Senior, please go ahead.” Ou Yangming was moved.
“What do you think if I could possibly send Old Craftsman to the upper realm?” Wu Yuanwei pointed proudly at the upper realm.
Ou Yangming was reminded of what Zhiming the Venerable One told him. Due to the interspatial disorder, the upper realm might build a fixed pa.s.sage.
If the pa.s.sage was successfully built, it would no longer be difficult for people to travel between the two realms.
Besides, this was the only way for earthlings such as Old Craftsman to enter the upper realm successfully.
