Chapter 388: Setback At The Crystal Mine (2/2)
”What the hell was going on here?
”Shouldn't you be in the Light Wind Imperial City? Why are you seeking trouble in the Illusory Spirit Swamp?”
”Owner Bu… there is perhaps a misunderstanding here? Let's have an amiable chat about it. Don't use force, that's never good.” Wu Mu smiled at Bu Fang.
Bu Fang twitched the corners of his mouth and sent Wu Mu a look. However, he didn't utter a word.
Du Kai, who had just rolled down from the city walls, was flexing his muscles, ready to deliver another strike when Wu Mu suddenly appeared.
The Villa Master of the White Cloud Villa, Wu Mu, was a swordsman at the peak of the Supreme-Being echelon. His cultivation was undoubtedly strong, to the point where even the Serpentine Sovereign might not be a match for him. Why would someone like him suddenly appear here?
Plus, judging by Wu Mu's expression, he seemed to be showing reverence toward that human.
”What the hell? You, the formidable Villa Master of the White Cloud Villa, a top warrior of the Southern Region, are showing deference towards a petty human with a mere seventh grade cultivation level?
” Are you freaking kidding me?”
Du Wei was much more sensitive to such details. Could it be that this lad, despite his seventh grade cultivation, had some sort of strong background? That was not impossible. With such a fierce black dog as a companion and that extraordinary black wok, she would be surprised if this human didn't have an unusual background.
”Owner Bu, why don't we sit down and have a nice chat in the Grand Serpentine City?”
Wu Mu suggested with a grin.
He twisted his head towards Du Wei and Du Kai and said lightly with scrunched brows: ”Open up the city gates. I'll directly take Owner Bu to see the Serpentine Sovereign. There must be some misunderstanding here. Let's solve the issue and try to avoid an unnecessary battle.”
Du Wei and Du Kai looked at each other helplessly. All the serpent-men on the city walls were simply stupefied.
The Serpentine Sovereign had crushed the sword rune he left her. This undoubtedly meant something was wrong. Was it because of Owner Bu?
No… it must be something much more dire.
At this point in time, how could the Grand Serpentine City afford Owner Bu and this black dog wrecking havoc on the other end? He must coax the Serpentine Sovereign to not exasperate Bu Fang and this terrifying black dog. That was a black dog that ended the life of a Divine warrior!
Du Wei was bold and resolute enough. Her chest, wrapped beneath the purple cloth, heaved as she ordered for the city gates to be opened.
The other serpent-men were reluctant and baffled but had no choice but to obey such orders.
Though Wu Mu was the Villa Master of the White Cloud Villa, he enjoyed high prestige within the Grand Serpentine City.
Wu Mu nodded in satisfaction and brought Bu Fang and Blacky into the Grand Serpentine City.
Bu Fang planned on having Blacky blow open the city gates with his paw, but who would have thought that Wu Mu would appear. It suited him just fine that Wu Mu brought them into the city.
Once they stepped into the Grand Serpentine City, Bu Fang was slightly awed by its imposing magnificence.
In comparison to the Light Wind Imperial City, this Grand Serpentine City was much more prosperous. The architecture around here was completely different from those of the Light White Empire. There were all sorts of street vendors on both sides of the road shouting out loud.
Bu Fang looked around in high spirits. There must be a lot of exotic gourmet delicacies in such a booming city. Just as he expected, with a few more steps, Bu Fang began smelling all kinds of fragrance.
On one of the streets, there were numerous booths selling food. One of the serpent-men was skillfully frying a squid that was glossy with oil. A rich aroma wafted by.
Another vendor grabbed out a lobster steamed to a flushed red shade. Peeling away its shells, the nearly quivering lobster meat emitted a strong aroma. The fragrance that has already pervaded the air enlivened Bu Fang.
”The Grand Serpentine City is close to the vast sea, and so the main ingredients here come from the ocean. That means there is a lot of seafood. Some lower graded water spirit beasts would also be captured and made into wonderful dishes,” Wu Mu introduced.
Bu Fang nodded and walked on. They reached the majestic serpent-men palace soon enough.
Before the entrance of the palace, one could already see the Serpentine Sovereign's graceful posture. The Serpentine Sovereign scanned the surrounding with a cold, elegant look.
Wu Mu brought Bu Fang up the hill and quickly arrived before the Serpentine Sovereign. He wore a torn complexion. The last of the sword runes he left her had been crushed. He felt somewhat empty inside.
Bu Fang flickered a light glance at the Serpentine Sovereign. He had already met her back in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. This means the Serpentine Sovereign must also recognize him.
The moment the Serpentine Sovereign laid eyes on Bu Fang, her head full of green hair fluttered up and her eyes widened. Waves of energy burst out, and she looked as if she had just recalled something.
”It's you!! The human lad who swallowed the Ten Thousand Bestial Flames!”
The Serpentine Sovereign said with a stern voice. Just as her voice faded, a piercing whistle flashed across the sky above the Grand Serpentine City.
A bloody figure fell down from the above and landed harshly within the crowds.
Seeing that body, Wu Mu's face instantly changed colors.
”Bai Zhan?!”
The person covered in blood and savage wounds, with only a weak force of energy, was the White Cloud Villa Supreme-Being in charge of overseeing the crystal mine… Bai Zhan.
”Why is Bai Zhan so severely injured? Could it be someone invaded the crystal mine?
”Or perhaps… there is a setback at the crystal mine? ”
