Chapter 578 - The Mountain Beast Sect (1/2)

Chapter 578

(Unedited)

…

A young couple is currently walking towards the stream. They both came out from a crevice at the side of the mountain on the opposite side of the river. It seems that the two did something inside that small crevice at the side of the mountain and is currently showing blissful smiles on their faces.

As Shin Jiao looks at the two he froze on the spot as he didn't notice them a while ago. However, before he could act he saw the two looking at him in disbelief.

The two just shared a passionate time together and the beautiful young woman is still blushing. From the way, the two dressed they look like cultivators from the cultivation land. And it seems that the two belong to the same sects.

”Who are you? What are you doing in this place?” shouted the young man in vigilance.

However, the young woman beside him held his hand and stopped him from acting rashly.

”Senior, don't trouble him. He is just washing in the river.�� The woman said with an apologetic look towards Shin Jiao.

The man looks at Shin Jiao aggressively as he wraps his arms on the woman's shoulder. It's like he is telling Shin Jiao to back off and that the beautiful woman is his.

Seeing the reaction of the young man, Shin Jiao just shrugs his shoulder and continue dipping himself in the river. Suddenly the two noticed that Shin Jiao's lower garments are covered with blood. The couple suddenly felt alarmed.

”You… those blood?!…” the young man said as he pointed at Shin Jiao's blood-soaked pants.

”Oh, these… I encountered a group of beasts on the road trying to attack us. I escaped from there but a lot of bandits and beasts were killed in that battle.” Shin Jiao said as he continues bathing without minding the two.

”Beasts? You've killed the beasts in this forest? Are you crazy?” the young man panicked as he immediately looks around.

”Mister… the beasts in the forest is very vengeful. They don��t like people killing their kind. If I were you, I will get out of here and run towards the city… this is not a very dangerous place.” The young woman kindly suggested as she grabs the young man's hand beside her.

”Let's go, we need to warn the sect…” she said in a low voice as she drags the young man.

With a nod of his head, the two ran towards a certain direction.

Shin Jiao on the other hand didn't move and just continue what he is doing. However, there is a slight smile on his face. He heard what the woman said to the young man.

”So there is a sect in these parts… Hmmm… I wonder if there are also cultivators in here.” Shin Jiao thought as he suddenly jumps out of the river and with a flick of his hand took out a robe.

He went towards the bushes and not long later came out with a new pair of clothes.

Shin Jiao followed the trail of the young couple and soon he saw them entering a valley a kilometer away from the river. Shin Jiao then saw the two taking out bangles with engraving on it. The young man step forward and gave the young woman a smile. He then inserted the palm-size bangle and a sound of clicking was heard.

The sound of gears can be heard as a large stone suddenly moved and an opening appears in front of the two. They quickly enter the opening and as soon as their figures enter the stone immediately moved and the opening was closed.

Shin Jiao saw everything that happened and showed interest in his eyes.

”They don't use Qi but instead uses mechanism… this is ancient engineering… interesting.” He muttered as he jumps down and casually walked towards the stone door.

He closes his eyes and carefully listens to his surroundings. He can hear around three people breathing from a hidden place.

”So there are lookouts in this place. Hmmm… I wonder what this sect looks like.” Shin Jiao thought as he walked towards the stone door.

He closed his eyes and tried to feel the stone door. However, his target is the keyhole on the side. Using his absolute sense he extended his senses and covered the whole key mechanism. After memorizing the key pattern, he lifted his hand and then turns around and left.

”Who was that guy?” one of the observers asked.

”I don't know but I have a bad feeling about that person.”

”Yeah, me too. Did you see where that person walked out from? That was a very tall tree.”

”Yeah, he landed like it was nothing. If that person has high martial arts or is a master, then this would be troublesome.”

”What do you want to do then?”

”Let's just report this to the master.”
