Chapter 8: Cave of the predecessor

“Cousin Xiao Chen, don’t move, it’s me.” Xiao Yulan stood at Xiao Chen’s side as she said in a soft voice.

After getting a clear picture of who it was, Xiao Chen released his breath and dissipated the flames on his finger. “Cousin Yulan discovered them too?” he leaned on the tree and asked.

She nodded her head, looking at the group of people in front, frowning, “cousin, do you know who they are?”

“I am not very sure, but I know that those in brown attire are people of the Zhang Clan.”

Xiao Yulan withdrew her gaze and proceeded to scan Xiao Chen’s body. She found it strange and decided to inquire. “Cousin Xiao Chen, are you alright? You seem to be hurt.”

Within just a day, Xiao Chen’s figure had shriveled up, appearing incredibly weak. However, he had no overt wounds on his body, which was very strange.

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly. “It’s a long story.”

In the forest in front, where the person in blue was located.

“Elder Zhang, where is the cave of the predecessor you mentioned? Where have we been walking for all this time? I am running out of patience.” The voice of the person in blue carried a trace of anger as he spoke impatiently.

The person who was addressed as Elder Zhang appeared to be more than fifty years old, and his cultivation had already reached the peak of Martial Grand Master long ago. He was the Clan Head of the Zhang Clan.

At this moment, when he faced the person in blue, he did not dare to slight him at all, instead replying respectfully. “Senior, don’t worry. That cave was accidentally discovered by one of my clan members, we should arrive there in another fifteen minutes.”

The person in blue just coldly snorted. “Then lead the way!”

The cave of a predecessor—it was likely that strong Martial Techniques and Cultivation Methods were stored there. There were often such legends, of some coincidental discovery of a predecessor’s cave that eventually lead to great cultivation gains for the individual who lucked out. The Seven Horn Mountain actually also had one of these caves of some predecessor.

……

“So, cousin has already condensed his Martial Spirit, congratulations.”

Xiao Chen kept quiet about the Azure Dragon Martial Spirit, only explaining that he was in this state due to condensing his Martial Spirit. It seemed this Xiao Yulan also knew of his reputation as trash, thus she did not question him further.

“Should we follow them?” Seeing that the group of people had already gone far away, Xiao Chen sought Xiao Yulan’s opinion.

“We follow!”

Xiao Yulan leaped down from the tree and gently landed on her feet. Afterwards, her figure flew forward by ten-some-odd meters, as though she was a green fairy. Within a few breaths of time, she was already more than a hundred meters away.

What a fast speed, Xiao Chen quietly murmured. He leaped down from the tree and used all of his strength to keep up. Xiao Yulan evidently did not wish for Xiao Chen to partic.i.p.ate in this and dashed ahead at great speed with every intent to leave him behind.

However, Xiao Yulan was afraid of drawing the attention of the person in blue, thus she did not use her Essence. Although she moved fast, it was only due to the strength of her body. With that alone, it would be difficult to leave behind Xiao Chen.
