Chapter 203 - 169.4 : Kang Prodigy (2/2)
'For a such a young girl to be a God... now that is a real genius.'
Compared to her, all the geniuses people are talking about are nothing but trash. Arthur soon pieced things together and was able to guess that her real strength is concealed from the public. To have such a genius as a daughter will cause jealousy and the powerful factions outside would not tolerate her. They would either try to rope her in and if it is not possible then the only result will be her death. Even with such a long-standing power such as the Kang Family, they can't manage all the titans outside of the wall alone.
Arthur checked the girl and saw that she looked even younger than her actual age. With a short height and a long hair, it reminded him of Lucy, but unlike his wife, who was indifferent to everyone but him and Saly, the girl kept looking around curiously and checking everyone from all sides, she only stopped when the middle-aged man threw a reproaching glare at her.
When he was staring at the young girl, the latter suddenly turned her head and looked at his direction which greatly alarmed Arthur yet he his surprise soon subdued as waves of strange energy rushed from his Dantian and calmed his muscles and relaxed his mind, making him feel comfortable and unaffected by the girl's previous actions.
'This should not be possible, I used the System and refrained from unleashing even a tiny bit of my Nether Energy.... her senses must be sky high. MMhm.. our paths shall not cross, whether fate will it or not, my goal is clear and my plan is perfect, all obstructions shall and will be eliminated!'
A minute passed since the middle-aged man, Kang Amidel, left his chariot. He waited for the silence to arrive before he faced them, mainly on the direction of the three big factions and spoke with a friendly tone
”Thank you all for waiting. The tomb will be opening soon and all are eligible to enter but please let the young generation enter first as they lack experience and need to explore the mysteries of the world.”
As he finished speaking, another hoarse voice was heard from the other end of the crowd, exactly originating from Elo Huo's faction. It was an old man standing behind him, he was a bit short and had long white hair. The old man showed a peaceful smile as he greeted the middle-aged man and replied
”It is as you say, Lord Kang. We, the old ones, should only look after the youngsters, after all, it is their era and not ours anymore.”
Many people approved as they nodded their heads, others greeted Kang Amidel in an attempt to create a long-standing friendly relationship with the city lord but it was futile as Amidel would nod back at them without uttering a single word.
Low whispers resounded near Arthur, some talked about the beauty of Amidel's daughter and others discussed his mysterious son. His son rarely showed himself but it was known that he was talented in cultivation and possibly inherited the physique manual from his father, who perfected it.
The useless talk was done after a couple of minutes and the three leading old men floated towards the gate with each holding a hexagonal blue lightning formation, a bit similar in type to the one Arthur cracked in the Treasury House, however, this one's intensity and complexity far surpassed the other one.
The four each flew into a specific location and then pressed the formations on the gigantic gate above the city. Compared to the gate, the formations were so minuscule that they could barely be seen. The four formation touched the gate simultaneously, which in return, caused an earth-shattering tremor all around the city, even the sky seemed to be collapsing.
It happened so fast and in a matter of a few seconds, the two large door started opening slowly. Although it seemed to be a very simple process, in all actuality, it was too difficult to open such a gate and this was easily noticeable by the pale faces of the old men, who were trembling and barely able to maintain their positions.
During the opening of the gate, they must cooperate perfectly and one mistake could lead to the death of the other three, but this was a dangerous yet very rewarding task so they agreed to do it, plus, as members of the Kang Family, they naturally had the duty to help the family head.
Exactly sixty seconds, that's the time it took the gate to fully open. What laid behind was a lush forest, full of greenery. It was a peaceful scene, unlike what a tomb should look like.
Birds sang and flowers bloomed in this small Realm, it took the crowd a moment to snap out of their daze and look again at the scenery with both amazement and cautiousness. Despite its breath-taking scenery, it was still a tomb and is rumored to have deadly beasts and fatal traps. One simple mistake can make one lose his life so they must tread carefully.
