122 Chapter 122 (1/2)
”Please refrain from uttering our true names, Daoist Twilight Moon. We don't know if our enemies are spying on us even as we speak.”
The one that was referred to by the little girl as Hu Yin replied for the group. However, the three of them ignored the unreasonable request of this overbearing little girl.
There would come a time when they would take away with veils but that moment has yet to come.
”Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. You grow old and senile at this age but still you love to play hide and seek, Daoist... errr... What was your Daoist Title again, Hu Yin?”
Twilight Moon scratched her head in confusion.
She would have been very funny to watch in some other time and place but her outrageous behavior did not earn even a single curve of a smile from her three spectators.
Her fellow True Immortals were not amused at all. Alas, since they could also do nothing against the little girl, the best strategy was always to move on.
With or without this annoying Daoist Twilight Moon.
”Since we are already here, it's time for us to meet the boy.” Hu Yin uttered in his usual beastly voice.
Although this was merely a facade and all but the effect it lent to any of his listeners could bring a string of unhealthy nightmares in their sleep.
”BLINK!” With no other word spoken, Hu Yin disintegrated in place.
No traces were seen of him and not even the eternal influence of fate and karma could associate him and the place to where he stood from before in any way, matter or form.
If anyone wished to pinpoint his exact location, they would see no traces whatsoever as his trail from all realms and its myriad mysteries was totally erased from ever existing.
”BLINK!” Shen Jing followed and did the same trick to escape from the wheel of time and the influence of space itself, marking his own passage as merely invisible to any prying eyes who may have been interested to know otherwise.
”BLINK!” A third disappeared next which only left behind a little girl in their wake.
”Hmmm... Hmmm... Hmmm... These people never change. Still so bland as usual!”
Twilight Moon sighed and the same as her counterparts, vanished in her spot but not as subtle as the three Immortals that had gone before her.
There was a rainbow of moons in different shapes and sizes that flowed gently towards the half buried giant sword of a forgotten World Traveler Expert.

”That's the boy! He was the one who slaughtered Yun Teng like a worthless trash!”
”Yun Teng could not even fight back! I've seen it with my own two eyes and I still could not believe it!”
”A 4th Stage Mortal Shedding Realm has mercilessly defeated an 8th Stage! What has this world come to?!”
”I only slept for one afternoon and I woke up with the world already upside down for my understanding!”
”PAK!” The thousands of Outer Disciples gossiped amongst themselves and one particular man got a resounding slap for his efforts.
Nevertheless, every eye was concentrated entirely at the slow procession that was happening before them.
”Young Master Clark, this is the Outer Disciples Court. It will be in here that you will be taking your first steps towards the endless ways of cultivation.
You don't have to worry at all because cultivating is not as hard as everyone might h...”
Feng Lin led the way and even if Outer Disciple Wu Da had very much wanted to gain some nice points towards our good gamer but alas, he was not suicidal yet to interrupt when a Peak Stage Foundation Establishment Expert was speaking.
”Isn't that Elder Feng Lin and Elder Feng Ren?”
”HAHAHA! I think the Elders are going to punish that arrogant boy for his sins earlier!”
”Heaven really has eyes! It will never forsake those people who believe in its Divine Providence!”
Hushed laughter abounded in a particular spot and it was easy to tell that these men were those four friends of the recently departed Yun Teng.
”But... don't you think it's strange?” A voice interjected near them.
”What? What's so strange about it? A fresh fish doesn't have the right to kill anyone of us Outer Disciples.
He would have to undergo the test in the Assessment Pavilion first before he could become officially one of us!”
One of the four defended their unjust fixation on a verdict that they wanted to believe for themselves.
”Look! I think Elders Feng Lin and Feng Ren are acting as fine escorts towards Young Master Clark.” The speaker noted how the Elders, particularly Elder Feng Lin, smiled kindly towards the boy.
”WHAT?!” Yun Teng's friends exclaimed at the same time. In a group nearby, the jolly Outer Disciple from before could not help but comment...
”There must have been a mistake or something! I must still be dreaming!”
