Chapter 345 - Master and Disciple Reunion (1/2)

Three months later, the Luo clan finally arrived home, to Windgaze City. As the Blackwind Mountain appeared in view, Zhuo Fan’s heart called to it in longing after five years of separation.

He had gone through ecstatic and despair filled moments during this time. And now that he had returned, he felt even more attached to this place.

The word family or clan had been etched deeper into his heart. Absence only made the heart grow fonder.

“Steward Zhuo, let me open the array and give you a proper welcome!” Standing before Blackwind Mountain enveloped in thick mist, Li Jingtian laughed.

Zhuo Fan waved him off with a hint of smile, “No need. I’ll do it myself. Five years have gone by and I want to open the door myself.”

Li Jingtian nodded, while others watched him with warmth.

“Yan Fu, come!” The kid had been traveling along with the Luo clan, and under constant pressure from Li Jingtian’s valiant aura, he had been left a shivering mess.

Yan Fu rushed before Zhuo Fan with even more respect, “Steward Zhuo, orders?”

“Nothing of that sort. You will soon meet Elder Yan, master and disciple will be reunited at last. And you will become one of us now. So I will now teach you how to open the array. Watch closely.”

Yan Fu was excited. He will finally get to see his master, something that had only happened in his dreams so far. His heart was overwhelmed and he nodded instantly.

Under his dazed gaze, Zhuo Fan’s hand made a sign and he shouted, “Open!”

The fog parted in the form of a path up Blackwind Mountain. Zhuo Fan turned with a smile, “Yan Fu, this will be your home from now on. You and your master…”

Boom!

The reverberating explosion cut Zhuo Fan’s speech short. A gale kicking up dust slammed them right in the face and covered the foremost two in dust and grime.

And then came the shrieks.

“Hi-hi-hi, old hag, old geezer, who do you think you are, Zhuo Fan or Li Jingtian, to dare mess with us Four Scheming Demons? You can’t handle us! See how us four will blast you to pieces!”

Violent Demon’s familiar sneer came to Zhuo Fan, then the cheers from the other three demons, “Yep, yep, you two know nothing of how to stop us. There’s nothing you can do to us!”

Zhuo Fan’s mouth twitched, and his fist clenched.

[These little shits won’t sit still for a second. They completely ruined one of my rare good moods!]

The rest sighed and felt vexed. Elder Li brought these Four Scheming Demons five years back as new elders. Everyone was happy, at first.

And then they got to know these pygmies just a bit better. They were outrageous, squabbling and powerful, of course, but they were nothing more than bickering children. A menace every third day and a disaster every fifth. These guys almost had the entire Blackwind Mountain run into the ground with their toying. Even after Li Jingtian’s heavy handed punishment, it only took a day after his departure for them to start cursing him, and the second day for their demonic minds to cook up new mischief.

Everyone knew this was Li Jingtian cheating the four into thinking that he knew the way to control the Bloodworms and make them fall in line. Or hell would’ve broken loose.

“Steward Zhuo…” Yan Fu pointed at Blackwind Mountain with a sunken face, as if to say. [Why is this home of yours not one bit peaceful?]

Waving him off, Zhuo Fan laughed in anger, “Calm down, I will handle it. Just ignore the little shits!”

“Uh, Steward Zhuo, I’ll go set the four shits straight.” Li Jingtian ran over.

Zhuo Fan waved him off with a dark face, “No need. I’ll do it.”

Zhuo Fan stepped forward and the rest followed. Li Jingtian was snickering inside. [Those four twerps will finally get what’s coming for them.]

They all reached the peak to see holes everywhere and even the gate blown outward and slanted.

No doubt about it, those four shits were responsible for all this.

All this while the sound of explosions kept on coming from within. Xue Qingjian raved like an insane hag, “Ah! You damn bastards dare break my thousand year old mirror? I’ll kill you!”

“Hi-hi-hi, biddy, what are you doing with a mirror when you’re so old? We did you a favor!” Sly Demon poked where it hurt with his mocking laughter.

Xue Qingjian grew enraged in her howls, “Bastards, thieves! I’ll have your heads today!”

“Qingjian, stop wasting time with them and use Life and Death Art!” Qiu Yanhai’s own raving voice came.

Li Jingtian paled.

Him and the two had sparred quite often and he knew of the power behind that art. It could blast ten Radiant Stage experts into dust on the spot. All he could do was turn tail.

With the two using Life and Death Art on the four demons, they’d blow Blackwind Mountain sky high.

Li Jingtian rushed, “Steward Zhuo, I’ll stop them.”

“No need.”

A vein popped on Zhuo Fan’s forehead as his finger trembled, “Those four demons were wrong in the head from the start. There’s no point arguing with them. But were these two so quick to lose themselves? Humph, they need to be taught a lesson!”
