Chapter 238 - Lightning Canyon Appears (2/2)

Zhuo Fan glared at them then turned to Gu Santong, “It doesn’t look like somethings wrong with the kid. So it must be his mental state!”

“Eh?”

Li Jingtian raised an eyebrow, but after a bit of mulling he cried, “It’s fear. How come the great Gu Santong actually knows fear?”

“What?” Zhuo Fan was startled and Li Jingtian explained, “When I was teaching brats in Regent Estate, I was very strict. So much so, some weak minded ones caved in just at my voice alone, taking the same posture as he is now. I’d usually go on and kick out anyone I’ve seen behaving like this. Without guts, I was not going to waste time on them!”

“You’re saying… he’s scared? But what could drive such fear into this little monster?” Zhuo Fan’s heart was perturbed as well.

Rumble!

The thunder only grew in intensity and Zhuo Fan looked startled at the sky.

Then a bolt flashed out of the blue and the sky darkened as black as night, as if a huge hand swept over the area. Next, purple lightning began to fall nonstop.

Each place they hit was turned to dust, wafting everywhere.

Zhuo Fan’s eyes widened, and cried, “Lightning Canyon!”

Correct, this was one of the continent’s three danger zones, Lightning Canyon! It was the place Zhuo Fan had been aiming for all this time, the Heavenly Emperor’s remnant!

Long Jiu once told him about it and has been preparing himself since. But having met with one strange and unavoidable event after another, he had to put them on hold.

And now…

With a flash, the Thunder Skylark’s egg appeared in his hand. His eyes looked at this flickering egg with a bitter face.

He felt regret, [Why haven’t I hatched this egg the moment I got here? Now that Thunder Swarm Mountain is gone, how do I do it?]

But even if he had, the chick wouldn’t be of any use in the Lightning Canyon!

[If only I hatched it sooner. It would’ve matured after a few years.] It was as if fate dictated it was not his time to enter Lightning Canyon!

Watching the purple lightning falling from the clouds, Zhuo Fan sighed and flew away from them, “Let’s go!”

The other five were quick to follow!

They all heard of the notorious Lightning Canyon’s danger. Going in was suicide! The best way is to get out of here following Zhuo Fan!

Luckily, Lightning Canyon just showed up and their speed was more than enough to get them in the clear.

But they flew for a bit and Zhuo Fan looked back all of a sudden, “Where’s the brat, Gu Santong?”

He found that the bold and powerful Invincible Scamp was reacting like any child would in this situation. He was shivering and closing his ears, losing all reason out of fear.

“Ha-ha-ha, the kid is afraid of lightning! Where’d all that fierce attitude go?” Violent Demon mocked.

The other demons joined him, but Zhuo Fan was pausing in thought. Then, he exclaimed, “I get it. He isn’t afraid of lightning, but afraid of purple lightning. We were wrong from the start! “

“Hi-hi-hi, Steward Zhuo, you’re kidding. Who on earth isn’t afraid of purple lightning? Even those Sect Leaders of ours would bolt at the sight of it!” Violent Demon laughed.

Shaking his head, Zhuo Fan’s eyes were fixed on Gu Santong, “This kid is different. The others had the bravery to run, but the kid is lacking even that. Just what is his connection with Lightning Canyon?”

Zhuo Fan suddenly said, “Elder Li, you and the demons leave. I’m getting him out!”

“No, Steward Zhuo!” Li Jingtian was anxious, “Lightning Canyon is about to descend and you’ll be soon crushed to death. You can’t risk it!”

“Yeah, Steward Zhuo, let that punk die for all we care! Wasn’t he almighty? Let’s see him handle purple lighting for a change!” Violent Demon spat and the demons nodded.

The four demons had been nothing but trouble so far, but ever since Zhuo Fan saved their lives by paying an 8th-grade ingredient, their view changed. They held Zhuo Fan with favor, albeit slightly.

Zhuo Fan was gratified but his mind was made, “Elder Li, if anything happens to me, take care of these four. Don’t let them turn the clan upside down!”

Zhuo Fan shot for Gu Santong.

“Steward Zhuo!”

Li Jingtian shouted, but all he could see was his vanishing figure among the purple lightning.

Gnashing his teeth, he eyed the demons and flew away, “Let’s go!”

“What about Steward Zhuo?”

“He’ll be back!” Li Jingtian’s eyes were firm…
