“That’s bizarre. I don’t see any cuts on here at all!” said Clan Master Qin in a deep voice after inspecting the tiger skin.
Cheng Xiao Xiao took a look around and couldn’t help but asked, “What was this?”
Everybody looked at each other and nobody said a word!
Old Man Ying looked like he was deep in thought so Cheng Xiao Xiao put her attention on him and asked, “Old Man Ying, have you thought of something?”
“I am not sure. I have only heard of it in the past!” said Old Man Ying with a grave look.
Soon after, the other old monsters also seemed to have thought of something and all looking more and more somber.
“Well, what is it?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiao, looking at everyone.
“Have you all heard of the city Heitu (black soil) that is just in the periphery of the country of Shuiyang?” Old Man Ying did not elaborate on that right away, but raised a question to the old monsters in front of him.
The mentioning of Heitu made everyone turned a little pale. It was obvious that everyone had heard of Heitu. Cheng Xiao Xiao had heard of the country of Shuiyang in the far East of the continent, but she had never heard of the city of Heitu.
“What kind of a place is Heitu?” Cheng Xiao Xiao figured there must be something going on with this place if just the mentioning of it could make all these old monsters turn pale.
“Miss, it is complicated and will take a while to explain. Why don’t you go back first? Me and the others will surveil the surrounding area and see if we can find anything.”
Old Man Ying looked at the tiger skin again and said to the rest, “I know it’s difficult, but it’s best for us to look around first no matter what.”
“Okay, let’s split u!”
The old monsters each picked and different direction and quickly headed out, including Old Man Ying.
Cheng Xiao Xiao understood that the best way to find the answer that she was looking for was to go home first.
She collected the tiger skin and summoned another white tiger sacred beast and have him carried Liu Danhuang on his back.
Shortly, the news of Liu Danhuang’s injury startled the entire Cheng’s. Cheng Xiao Xiao comforted his parents before she returned to her main quarter.
“Xiao Xiao, what happened?” Cheng Biyuan wasn’t looking too happy. Liu Danhuang was one of his favorite disciples. He didn’t talk much, but he was very attentive on his assignments. Naturally, Cheng Biyuan was very angry that anyone could hurt one of his disciples.
