9 Chapter 9 Extra acupoints (1/2)
After half a day, Yin Yang finally returned after going off on his own. He brought with him several huge packages. There were clothes, food, spices, and other items; it was enough for a few years. However, his expression was really dark, several times worse than when he left.
Returning to the carriage, he unexpectedly did not hide anything. He called Chuxue into the carriage and explained everything in front of Zong Shou.
”After hiding it from you for so long, with the situation being so dangerous and uncertain, Yin Yang doesn't dare to hide it from you anymore. In truth, there has been no news from master for several months. I tried to find some people to get information, and they said that half a month ago, some people personally witnessed master being forced into the Oblivion Cloud Ocean.”
Within the carriage, there was a slight sound when Chuxue accidentally hit the teapot on the side. All the blood on her face was gone.
Zong Shou's eyes narrowed slightly, and he did not say anything.
Currently, he was on the Donglin Cloud Continent of the Cloud World, hanging over the Cloud Ocean. It was twelve million square miles in size, and one of the five biggest continents in the Cloud World.
The Oblivion Cloud Ocean was located south of the Donglin Cloud Continent. Legend had it that there were many mysteries about this place. No matter if it were beast or human, they would definitely die if they entered that place.
Ten thousand years from now, people investigated the mystery. But at this time, it was still a death zone, especially before the spiritual energy exploded. Apart from those ancients in the Cloud World, probably no one else could go deep inside.
Hence, it was no wonder that his cousin-brother had the courage. Once someone entered the Oblivion Cloud Ocean, their chances of survival were really slim.
Chuxue slightly stabilized her thoughts. Gritting her teeth, she tried to hold on, ”It is only the Oblivion Cloud Ocean. With master's ability, there's definitely a chance he will be able to walk out from there!”
Yin Yang looked expressionlessly at Chuxue. Not bothering about her, he said, ”Master isn't a person with a short life, and I know about his skill. The problem now is the fight for the throne. The brothers and nephews of master are all ambitious. For example, that Zong Yu…”
Chuxue held her breath, not debating that point. She furrowed her brow. ”Isn't it just the battle for control of Gantian Mountain? At most, Young Master won't be the heir!”
”But if we can't borrow the power of Gantian Mountain, what would the prince use to face the enemies of master?” Yin Yang smiled coldly as he clenched his fists tight. In his tiger gaze, there was a cold killing intent.
”My words are equivalent to my life. I have promised Master I would protect the Prince and let him inherit the position of Gantian Mountain Monster King. Even if I die, I won't betray that promise. Anyways, we can't stay here for too long. Before Master left, he ordered us to send the Prince to the Lingyun Sect. It seems like he predicted this.
”We need to rush to Pill Spirit Mountain to be safe! Pill Spirit Mountain has really strict rules, different from Linhai College. This journey will be even more dangerous, so my Prince, please be mentally prepared!”
Chuxue heaved a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with uncertainty, ”We leave now? Young Master and I saw Zong Yu. That Li Ling and Li Du were also there. Who knows, maybe the other brothers are also a part of this!”
The moment her words landed, Yin Yang waved his sleeves, cutting her off, ”Today, it is only one Zong Yu and the Li Family brothers. After a few days, once the others catch wind of it and arrive, it will be even more difficult to take a step out of this Twisted Gathering!”
His tone was certain and not to be doubted. Yin Yang did things with lightning-like decisiveness. He immediately stood up and exited the carriage.
Chuxue's expression was still uncertain. Only after the carriage rose into the air did her expression turn disappointed. ”It is all my fault. If I knew this would happen, I would have let Young Master stay within Linhai College.”
Zong Shou had seen through everything, and he smiled like it was a matter of no concern. On the contrary, it was Chuxue that was worried.
His father asked someone to bring him out of Linhai College, probably because he knew that its strength was not enough to protect him from his enemies. As such, one could see how strong the enemy was.
Zong Shou did not care much about the position of king. He was also thinking about giving it up for his cousins to fight for it.
However, after listening to Yin Yang's words, this did not seem like a smart idea. Apart from taking the risk to flee toward Pill Spirit Mountain, there was no other way he could leave.
In the end, it was unavoidable for them to bring their knives to the battlefield.
On the other hand, he cared about his father's identity.
Gantian Mountain was one of the monster race's sacred places. After the spiritual energy exploded, the ruler of the mountain controlled and ruled over the west of Donglin Cloud Continent's million monster races.
He could vaguely remember that within tens of years, this Gantian Mountain had changed Monster Kings several times.
There were no outstanding people among them. Moreover, those heroes born during the God Emperor era were simply too eye-catching.
