111 Shame (2/2)
The restrictive Gate finally broke, and large amounts of magical energy rushed into his conscious mind, making him feel dizzy.
”Not... right...”
In his dizziness, a thought went through. ”This force... elemental force!!! You are a spiritual knight!!!”
Elder Han could feel the astonishing force within him, and it might even be stronger than what Shi Yutong harnessed.
There was only one explanation for this, no matter how impossible it might be. This young man was not even a spiritual disciple, but a spiritual knight with full control of elemental force!
Thinking about how the Spirit Returning Sect was plotting against a spiritual knight, Elder Han felt disheartened, and his conscious became blurred.
”Ahh….. Breaking through the Heaven Gate with brute force would have side effects, and a shortened lifespan right?”
Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders. ”Rather than dying normally, why not do something crazy before dying, something like breaking through Wu Zong!”
This way of forcefully breaking through gates was possible to almost all Wu Zong spiritual knights, but the consequences would be terrible.
Fang Yuan had already practised it for 10 years in his dream, and in theory, it was perfect. He had ultimate control over his dream elemental force, but after doing it, his test subject would not have long to live.
However, he was satisfied with just having this test subject to confirm his prediction.
”Elder Han, hold on tight. Even if you will die, you should die as a Wu Zong and die glamorously!”
He became as serious as he ever would and struck a palm on Elder Han's dantian.
At the same time, he stuffed large quantities of spiritual medicine and the likes of the bamboo fruit into his mouth.
The continuous stream of dream elemental force slowly seeped into Elder Han's dantian, and towards his miniature elemental force, as it slowly initiated the process of breaking through Wu Zong!
”The proper way to attain Wu Zong is to do it without haste, step by step. However, it would still be possible if someone used their elemental force to stimulate and break it through brute force... For others, they would explode while doing it, but for me, having harnessed dream elemental energy, I can still control it even by using brute force!”
Fang Yuan's eyes glittered.
In front of him, Elder Han's appearance became increasingly scary.
He looked ferocious, and veins were popping up everywhere. Blood flowed all around like earthworms digging through the ground, and his entire body seemed inflated like a balloon.
”Con...tract!”
Fang Yuan did not care and commanded the miniature elemental force to continuously compress itself, in an attempt to transform it into elemental force.
”Ping!”
After a long while, a soft sound travelled from the cave, followed by Fang Yuan's sigh. ”I've failed... It seems that the first prediction is impossible, but that's ok, let's continue...”
...
The disappearance of two Elders in the prefecture led the entire Qingye City into chaos.
The new Qingye City Master became anxious, but could only comfort himself that the two Elders were martial artists of the 4 Heavenly Gates, and if they join forces within the prefecture, they would still be able to guard against Wu Zongs, and therefore were likely to be on a secret mission that no one else knew about.
However, five days had passed, and once Shi Yutong returned, he knew that all hope was lost.
”Elder Han and Elder Bian are missing?”
Shi Yutong wore a scarf over her face and appeared wealthy. By her side was Lin Leiyue, who was staring at the new City Master.
”I am useless and deserve to die!”
Even though this City Master was a Spirit Returning Sect disciple, he was still a lowly subject in front of Shi Yutong.
”This enemy is powerful to be able to abduct two Elders without a sound. Even if you have prepared for him, it would still be futile! Return!”
Shi Yutong calmly said a few words, which made Qingye City Master sigh and dismissed him.
”Master...”
When the others had left, Lin Leiyue appeared confused. ”There is suddenly an appearance of a highly skilled person in Qingye City, so what should we do now?”
”It is not likely that even a Wu Zong could take down both of them... It might be a spiritual knight!”
Shi Yutong appeared serious. ”I will personally take charge of this area and deliver a letter to the alliance leader for him to send help!”
A spiritual disciple would be comparable to a Wu Zong, but still highly depended on the nature of his spiritual technique. However, they would still lose to a Wu Zong based on their actual strength and skill.
Recalling the previous fight for the treasure map, both the spiritual disciples were just assisting the Wu Zongs in the combat.
If a spiritual disciple go one on one with a Wu Zong, with an incomplete elemental force, how would they match Wu Zong?
However, comparing a spiritual knight and a Wu Zong in the same realm, Wu Zong would lose.
By predicting the enemy's ability, Shi Yutong thought about the possibility of the mysterious spiritual knight and became on guard.
”How's it going on in the secluded valley?”
Lin Leiyue finally revealed her own intentions. ”The deadline is over, but he has not given me a reply...”
”Secluded valley...”
Shi Yutong looked beautiful, but now had a cold look in her eyes. ”Could it be that the disappearance of the two Elders is related to the secluded valley? Otherwise, why would they only disappear now?”
”Furthermore... I am also suspecting that the previous ambush on our sect is also related to the secluded valley! Even though we have no proof, but there is just too much coincidence, and hard for anyone not to suspect!”
”What?”
Lin Leiyue took a few steps back and tried to imagine Fang Yuan.
Realising that she might be lied to all this while and being manipulated by Fang Yuan, she became frustrated.
