Chapter 189 - One Stronger than the Last (2/2)

The three elders didn’t know the anguish and sorrow plaguing the poor father and son, not that they cared. Yan Laoliu sipped his tea and shouted, “Cai Rong, begin by telling me of the experts hiding in the Luo clan.”

“Uh…”

Cai Rong was out of it for a second then bobbed his head, on the verge of hugging their legs and begging for mercy. As for getting rewarded for his merit, that was long forgotten.

“Elders, the Luo clan is a second rate clan at best. Only Grand Elder Lei Yuntian is a Profound Heaven expert, one that advanced two years ago. As for his goddaughter, Lei Yuting, and Captain Pang, they are all in the Bone Tempering Stage! While the Luo clan orphans, Luo Yunhai and Luo Yunchang are even weaker. The rest are inconsequential, beneath elders’ attention… “

Cai Rong blurted out as fast as he could, sometimes pausing, letting Cai Xiaoting join the explanation.

They spilled the beans on anything and everything that happened in the Luo clan over the past two years.

The three elders looked at the two somewhat awkwardly.

They all have seen their fair share of snitches but never ever someone as useless as these two. [How did they even keep their vassal clan status?]

“That’s all. We have no need to know what flowers you planted on the mountain!” Scratching his nose, You Laoliu said, “What of the four arrays? Do you know how to shut them down, or how to avoid them?”

“Zhuo Fan has set them up before his departure. We know nothing about them. Only after betraying the Luo clan, did we find out of the arrays’ existence. You have to believe me, elders…”

“Fine fine, we believe you!”

To Cai Rong’s panic, You Laoliu gestured for him to stop. How could the three elders not believe such dedicated traitors?

The elders nodded.

They had a rudimentary knowledge of the Luo clan so there was no point in asking further. Knowing how the two planted flowers behind the mountain or staking out the latrines for days on end would probably, most definitely, not reveal some groundbreaking secret. They thought.

Just as they were about to ask the two to leave, three men suddenly broke in and the elders got shocked and rushed to bow, “Greetings to the three Venerables!”

[What?! Venerables? Isn’t that a Radiant Stage expert?]

Gasping, Cai Rong brought his head even lower. He was so shocked he almost had a heart attack. Never had he entertained the notion there would be one here, much less see one in person.

The only one they ever saw was the Jade Flute Divine Sword, Fang Qiubai. That man was following the third prince, and it was clear that he had no ill intentions towards them.

While these three Venerables wouldn’t be as tolerant, killing them at a whim if they wanted to. The two didn’t shiver in fear before the elders, but were now rooted on the spot.

The Venerables couldn’t care less about ants, fixing their eyes on the elders.

“We detected three men outside Windgaze City. A Bone Tempering Stage, a Profound Heaven Stage and a 6th layer of Radiant Stage experts!” One Venerable spoke.

The elders were shocked.

[Why would such an expert come here for? Was he a friend or foe?]

“Damn! the Radiant Stage expert is heading for us!” A Venerable shouted.

Everyone was on edge right now, as even the elders broke out in sweat. A Profound Heaven expert was no different than an ant before a 6th layer Radiant Stage.

The three Venerables fixed their gazes outside this courtyard.

The atmosphere was so heavy, no breath was heard and the air grew thick. Cai Rong and his son were crawling on the ground shaking like a leaf.

If all the experts here fought with the newcomer, they would have no chance of survival!

Boom!

Shockingly, Mad Dipper, Li Jingtian slammed into the Sun clan’s yard, kicking up dust. Once it settled, his raging face was terrifying.

“A-aren’t you…”

A Venerable recognized him and pointed a trembling finger.

He didn’t get the chance to continue as Li Jingtian slapped him silly.

The Venerable was bent over as Li Jingtian shouted, “Fools, why haven’t you attacked yet?”

The others were dumbstruck.

Not caused by Li Jingtian’s booming voice, but the suddenness of his slap.

Who was this man to slap a high and mighty Radiant Stage expert, a Venerable?

Cai Rong and his son were paralyzed. Today had been an eventful day for them, to say the least.

In the span of only fifteen minutes, one stronger than the next kept popping up! It all culminated with the arrival of a Radiant Stage expert slapping a seven houses’ Venerable silly…
