Chapter 114: An Angry Huo Long
Just as Little Fatty started painstakingly constructing his new wind copper bell, Daoist Huo Long was doing the diametrical opposite of him. He was meticulously dismantling the black iron bell.
He couldn’t find any secret with his spiritual sense, hence he decided to slowly take the bell apart. Every single single fragment he took apart would not exceed an inch in length, lest he missed anything out.
The bell was gargantuan and was millions catties heavy. Though Daoist Huo Yun, as a Yuanying cultivator, could smash it apart easily, it was a different case for him to take it apart fragment by fragment. The whole project was seriously too big and required an extremely huge amount of effort.
Helpless, Daoist Huo Long could only call upon 2 of his closest JinDan disciples in order to complete this job. After countless sleepless nights, the 1000 feet tall black iron bell was finally broken down into mult.i.tudinous 1 inch fragments. But, the spiritual artifact which they were seeking, was nowhere to be found!
Faced with such a situation, Daoist Huo Long who gave up his Five Element Essence Sword was anxious. His face darkened as he glared at his two exhausted disciples and coldly asked, “Did any of you find anything?”
“We did not find anything, master!” Both the disciples helplessly shook their heads.
“Did you guys not find anything, or are you guys just hiding it from me!” Daoist Huo Long raged all of a sudden.
Seeing that their master suspected them, the two disciples began to tremble in fear. One of them hurriedly responded, “Master, we were both under your supervision the whole day, would we have the audacity to do anything funny?!”
“Yes master! It is your disciple’s wish to show piety towards you. How would we commit such an impertinent act?” The other hurriedly said, “I suspect that there may be nothing inside at all! You may have been scammed by that darn fatty!”
“Hmm..” As Daoist Huo Long heard that, his brows furrowed as he recalled what happened back then.
Actually, Daoist Huo Long was already a few hundred years old and had seen countless of things. He could be counted as a old and wise person. Normally, those little tricks of Little Fatty would not be able to deceive him. But this time, Daoist Huo Long was completely overwhelmed by his greed. He was so obsessed with the spiritual artifact that he was not able to discern Little Fatty’s scheme. Now that he calmed down and recalled Little Fatty’s expression, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like a complete farce!
Only then did Daoist Huo Long understood that he was actually fooled by that darn fatty! He raged, “Dammit, that darn fatty actually had so much guts to play such a trick on me! In a moment of carelessness, I actually fell for it!”
As both the JinDan cultivators heard that, their brows furrowed together as they snarled, “Master! We cannot let this matter past! We are going to find that darn fatty for an explanation!” As they said that, they turned and was about to walk away.
“Come back!” Daoist Huo Long suddenly called them back and said with frustration, “This deal was completed with the sect master and his wife as witnesses. Furthermore, both of us were willing parties. With my status, how can I casually back out! Do you guys think that my face isn’t thrown enough?”
