Chapter 20: Encounter (1/2)

•Righteous Path

•Demonic Path

•Corrupt Path

”Remember them! We are from the righteous path” Elder Yue explained. And Du Chan nodded back.

”Hmm, the people who killed your village must be from the corrupt path, only those bastards do that”.

”Why did they even kill the innocent people, the villagers were good and kind to all” Du Chan asked.

”Hahaha, kid, you don't know anything!! They do anything for strength, that's why they are called corrupt” Elder Yue said while laughing.

”Strength? How can they get strong by murdering innocents” Du Chan asked.

”They collect the souls and make a pill with that, and it is a very important pill to break into the Soul Strengthening realm. They need the souls of people who are below the Bone Forging realm and children below 20 years old souls are best. Now you understand I guess” Elder Yue explained.

Du Chan was surprised to know this.

”Then what about the Demonic path? They could have done that?” He asked

”No, even though Demonic path people are brutal and cruel they don't slaughter innocent people. They are proud and arrogant” Elder Yue said. Du Chan looked at him with his confused eyes.

”Okay, listen. Demonic Path people are proud and arrogant because they believe they are descendants of the supreme beasts. No one knows that's true or not, but they are strong, very strong even if we righteous path people gang up on them I think we might be annihilated”

”What!?” Du Chan expressed.

”Yes that's the truth, how can those people slaughter the village like that? It is even funny to think that” Elder Yue said.

”Then it's done by corrupt sects….. How can we stop them from killing more villages?” Du Chan asked as he had already lost his village and if this continued they might destroy many villages.

”Why do you think the righteous path exists, we stop them from killing by killing them, hahaha” Elder Yue said.

”Huh?”

”Cough, those corrupt paths always try something new every time they attack, they should have already collected the souls in your village and the bandits you slaughtered in the west. Hmm they got lucky” Elder Yue said.

Du Chan doesn't know what to say.

”See, there is a land divided by the sects to protect, this area comes under the Extreme Martial Sect and that village is not under our protection so they sure attack that” Elder Yue said.

”Then…. That village was not under anyone's protection?” Du Chan asked.

”It is under the YinYang sect but those guys are busy in 'cultivation' so it's easy to attack the area under them” Elder Yue said.

”This…” Du Chan heard this sect's name before, it was from six years ago. That bandit told him about it and the cultivation technique.

”People from the YinYang sect are strong?” He asked because of curiosity.

”Only some, they have very powerful cultivation techniques but they don't have any martial techniques so they have higher realm but no battle experience and the attack strength, if they have any strong martial technique with that Dual Cultivation technique they might be invisible but that is not gonna happen because they are very lazy to feel pain. They cultivate with pleasure so it's very hard to strengthen the body so that's why only some are strong in the whole sect” Elder Yue explained.

Du Chan was listening to it carefully

”And they don't care about the village of yours even it's is destroyed so leave them, they are scaredy cats that don't want any trouble” Elder Yue told him.

”Okay…” Du Chan said and took note to return the favour to that sect for not even protecting the people under their territory.

”Okay, then I talked enough, let's leave. There is a selection exam in 4 days,” Elder Yue said.

”Ahh, elder Yue he is my brother I talked before” Du Chan whispered

Till now Elder Yue didn't even look at him clearly,

”So? I already told you before what to do” Elder Yue said and started to eat his breakfast.

”No, something is wrong with his body. When I first saw him he had a big scar on his chest that should have reached his heart but he survived and he was 2nd stage of body training realm before but he is at 3rd stage right now so I think there is something in his body” He explained

”Huh?” When Elder Yue heard that he looked at Zho Rong and came beside him and grabbed his shoulder and closed his eyes.

After some time he opened his eyes and sweat dripped from his forehead.

”Hey…kid come with me,” he said and started to take Zho Rong with him. Du Chan was shocked by his reaction but he couldn't stop them.

Elder Yue and Zho Rong vanished. Du Chan sat on the chair and started to eat his breakfast. He knew that the elder was not going to do anything bad to him.

After some time, Elder Yue returned but Zho Rong was not with him.
