Chapter 118: One Man Holding the Pass (2/2)
”You're Wu's disciple. Wu's is just a small ironware shop. What good is it to stay there? To stay in that kind of place is to bury your talent. Why not come back to the Sect of Flame with me? Not speaking about the rest, after a few years, making you a Venerable would be no problem!”
Junior Leopard only lightly smiled.
Venerable?! In the Sect of Flame, that was a position second to only the Sect Master and Hierarch. This Sect of Flame's Sect Masters and Hierarchs could be counted with five fingers. The position was extremely high.
Junior Leopard, however, didn't have any good vibes about this kind of evil sect. In addition to the fact that the Sect of Flame conquered Zhonghe City and began a big massacre. It was only to hide the underground fire vein found here and make Prince Xiaoming's training convenient. Junior Leopard's opinion only paled.
In front of such an expert like Prince Xiaoming, he naturally didn't dare reveal his own thoughts. This didn't mean that he rejected it in his heart. It could be said that he extremely detested it. Hence, he could only respond in silence.
”Hey, are you going to agree or not?!”
Seeing that Junior Leopard did not answer for long, Prince Xiaoming asked again. This time around her tone was much gentler. Junior Leopard could even hear a tinge of playfulness in it.
Hearing it in his ears, he heaved a breath of cool air. He nearly heaved himself to death. Just when he didn't know how to reply, Wang She couldn't continue looking on.
”It's better for this kid to stay in the Wu's!” Wang She's sentence broke Prince Xiaoming's thoughts, ”There is so much Earth Fire Yuan Essence here for you to absorb. If there isn't enough, you can always invite him to go over next time. There isn't a need to get him into the Sect of Flame!”
”When is there a need to ask me to go over?!”
Junior Leopard didn't hear the other words clearly, yet he heard this sentence in extreme detail. His brain involuntarily shrunk. What kind of words was Wang She saying?
He was, however, able to hear through it. Prince Xiaoming had fancied the special usage of his Fist Intent. This fella practices a fire attribute cultivation method. His Fist Intent was able to attract the Earth Fire Yuan Essence, which was what she needed. To her, even though the underground fire veins were few in numbers, it could still be found. The Sect of Flame wasn't like the Wu's, they were one of the Great Jin's three great sects. They also emphasized on the Fire Way Method. Junior Leopard definitely didn't believe their hands didn't have any underground fire veins.
Prince Xiaoming's cultivation just entered into Level Nine, her position in Sect of Flame swelled as a result. To think about it, soon she would be promoted from Venerable into Hierarch. Entering the underground fire vein to cultivate was something that was taken for granted!
”Very well, next time when I have a need, I will send someone over to him. You, however, have to promise me that he will not be rejected!”
”I cannot guarantee this!” Wang She shook his head, ”This kid has an ambitious heart like a wolf. I can guarantee you that he will still listen to you when his strength is beneath yours. When his strength surpasses you, he won't heed your call anymore. Junior Leopard, what do you say?!”
”Till his strength is above mine, I will not be so foolish as to look for him!” not waiting for Junior Leopard to reply, Prince Xiaoming began to laugh coldly, ”You are right. This world depends on strength to speak. Junior Leopard, I think that you won't be clear on this point?!”
”Once His Excellency Prince Xiaoming has ordered, this disciple naturally doesn't dare disobey!” Junior Leopard said, ”However, my cultivation recently had reached a certain level. When I go back I will have to undertake a closed-door training. I am afraid I'm unable to assist you then!”
”You are really an uppity kid. You still don't have the strength to talk terms with me. Relax, I have already absorbed enough Earth Fire Yuan Essence. At least in the next five years, I wouldn't need your help. Oh right, you won't take five years to train, right?!”
”Of course not!” upon hearing the five-year duration, Junior Leopard silently heaved a sigh of relief. He saw the both of them and said, ”Two seniors, if there isn't anything else, this junior will take his leave!”
”Don't run! What are you running for, are we too scary?!” Wang She frowned. He turned his head and said to Prince Xiaoming, ”Ming, little girl, you have absorbed so much Earth Fire Yuan Essence. You won't be able to digest it in time. I think, however, it will be extremely beneficial to your Spirit condensing. You might as well strike the iron while it's hot, and condense your Spirit here. This Earth Fire Yuan Essence also has benefits for me as well. I too need some time to digest it. I need roughly three days. Junior Leopard, you go to the cave entrance to guard it for three days. Within tĥose three days, don't allow anyone to come in. Those who disobey, kill them without exception!”
”Ah?!”
Junior Leopard's face revealed a difficult expression.
”What, you are not willing?!”
”That is not necessarily the case. It is an honor for me to work for you. Those who could reach here, however, have a cultivation, above me. I'm afraid I cannot block them!”
”You don't need to belittle yourself. Your current cultivation has reached the Full Closure of the Skin-Toughening Realm. In this hundred mile radius, you could be considered a number one figure. Adding to the fact that your Fist Intent is extremely compatible with the surroundings, to execute it under this environment will increase its power by manifolds. You already won't lose to a normal Bone-Forging Realm expert. Today the city was just broken. No matter how fast the news spread, the people who could come in won't be many. Within a hundred mile radius, it is not bad to have a few Bone-Forging Realm experts. Even if they have come, there isn't a need for you to clash with them. Just tell them that I am cultivating here, and I need three days to cultivate. Within this three days, I cannot have anybody disturbing me. In this case, there may not be people wanting to fight!”
”What if they don't believe me?!”
”Then there is a reason for them to die. If I'm practicing and they dare to interrupt, no one cares if I kill them. You shouldn't reserve your strength!” Wang She said plainly, ”Don't worry, I won't let you labor for nothing. Three days will benefit you!”
”How can I ask for benefits when working for you?!” Junior Leopard hurriedly said, ”Since you have asked for this, I won't dare to shirk away!”
After speaking, not waiting for the two of them to waste any breath, he exited the cave. He then walked a hundred feet outwards and sat down in a somewhat narrow area. Looking at the passageway spiraling upward, his heart birthed forth some pride, ”The so-called one man holding the pass should be like me now?!”
