Chapter 715 – Going Into Hiding (1/2)

Just like how even ten people would struggle to stop a man trying to throw his life away, the Bone Eating shamans in the surroundings were like a pack of wolves that had surrounded an enraged bear. Their sharp teeth and claws struggled to be of any use, and they could be killed in a single stroke if they were careless.

“All of you, back away! I’ll stop him!” the Bone Eating chieftain bellowed out. The thought that this was what he faced after a pursuit almost made him spew with flames out of fury.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The urgent sound of gongs rang out from the city walls. The guards called out, “The Bone Eating barbarians are here! The Bone Eating barbarians are here!”

Countless people woke up from their sleep. The entire city was completely thrown into a state of alarm.

At this moment, Li Qingshan had already arrived in front of the Fragrant Flower house.

The house blazed with lantern light, filled with a noisy and confused commotion. With a bang, the gates swung open, and a group of people on horses rushed towards the fighting. In the lead was a furious, beautiful madam. Those behind her were all female too, both young girls and old women.

Li Qingshan heard Goldie A’bao mention that the Fragrant Flower clan was a matriarchy, so the leaders of the clan were all women too. This was very similar to the night roamers, and the reason was basically no different. The cultivation method passed down through the clan was more suited for women to practise. The powerful would be the ones to speak was obviously how the world worked!

The beautiful madam in the lead seemed to sense something. She looked back, casting her gaze into a gloomy alleyway, but she saw nothing at all. She could not be bothered with thinking too much about it. She said worriedly, “The Bone Eating tribe has actually infiltrated the city at night. Are they planning on declaring war？”

Li Qingshan had already leapt over the walls and entered the estate. His footsteps were gentle and silent, quickly crossing through the garden.

All the people in the estate had been mobilised, so the security became extremely lax. He made his way right into the courtyard and came across a steaming pool. There was spring shaped like a huge, fake mountain in the centre of the pool; the air in the surroundings wafted with a special fragrance.

The person who frequently bathes here must possess extremely great status in the Fragrant Flower clan. She might even be the woman I saw earlier!

According to his senses, there was a hollow space inside the fake mountain. He leapt into the hot spring and swum beneath the fake mountain, and sure enough, he found a tiny opening. The opening was the size of a ball, small enough to prevent any adult from entering. However, he was only a tiny baby around a foot long right now, so he entered through the hole with ease and reached the interior of the fake mountain. He let out a sigh of relief.

After the previous experience of washing up in a hot spring with Goldie A’bao, he felt like these hot springs were very nice. The underground rivers had been heated up and boiled by the flames of the earth, which was a manifestation of two types of powers of the world. It would be beneficial to his comprehension of the way to merge water and fire.

Of course, the most important reason was that it was comfortable in it. As he remained in the hot spring and steam surged about, he felt sleepy. He let out a yawn, leaned back on his arms, and laid down. He believed that no one could find him here. All he had to do was get some good sleep and wait for himself to grow. He closed his eyes slowly.

During the morning of the next day, within the drifting mist, the Fragrant Flower market gradually stirred. Everyone discussed what had happened last night the moment they saw each other.

“What exactly happened last night? “You slept through it. The Bone Eating barbarians entered the city!” “The Bone Eating barbarians! The Bone Eating cannibals?” “Who else would there be? “The Fragrant Flower clan and the Bone Eating barbarians engaged in a great battle, which sure was alarming. They forced back the Bone Eating shamans after much difficulty. You should take a look at the city’s east. Several dozen houses have been demolished!” “Why did I hear there was a monster?”

In the Fragrant Flower house.
