Chapter 906 - The Enemy Territory (1/2)
Thanks to Li Mo Zhen, their smooth acting was able to ride the Sword Saint sect to enter Yu Jin city, the reason they had to go to that city was none other than because they wanted to finish off the Heaven's Gate sect because they knew Wei Zu Tian wouldn't let them go so instead of waiting for Wei Zu Tian's next attack it would be best if they attacked the Heaven Gate Sect first especially while they were still battered from their defeat in the whispering forest, after all, it's better to hit Iron while it's still hot.
Meanwhile, they also got acquainted with people from the Sword Saint Sect, it turned out that the young man was the next heir of the Sword Saint Sect, his name was Tao Bing Wen and the man they spoke to was the Sword Saint Sect leader right -hand man Tao Jing Xi and his name are Yang Zhao.
Yang Zhao was assigned to protect Tao Bing Wen after the boy insists to hunt down a sacred beast named Huan, the beast is known to live in the deep of the mountain, the beast has three eyes and three tails with an appearance similar to a giant cat.
The reason Tao Bing Kami chased the sacred Beast because he was mocked by one of the Sacred Sword sect members who say that he was a disgrace for the Sword Saint sect, he was weak and useless and nothing alike with his powerful grandfather Tao Jing Xi or his talented Father Tao Ji Fang, even though at the end the one who mocked Tao Bing Wen was punished but Tao Bing Wen still couldn't forget what they say about him.
Therefore, he insisted on hunting sacred beasts to prove his worth of course his father who knew Tao Bing wen's ability all too well refused his son's request flatly but Tao Bing Wen didn't back down, and then one day he snuck out of his home so he can hunt the Beast if that not stupid enough Tao Bing Wen also brought two his female companion to accompany his suicide adventure.
When Tao Bing Wen's father found out about this he was enraged then immediately sent his most trusted subordinate to take the stupid boy back home, unfortunately, Tao Bing Wen refused to go home without killing the sacred beast He also threatened Yang Zhou that he would commit suicide if Yang Zhou forced him to return. Therefore, Yag Zhou was helpless, still, to ensure Tao Bing Wen's safety, he agreed to help Tao Bing Wen kill the sacred beast.
Tao Bing Wen didn't dare to come home because he had bragged in front of everyone that he will kill Huan the sacred beast so if he came home empty-handed people will definitely mock him? Tao Bing Wen shuddered at the thought of people laughing at him if it really happened Tao Bing Wen didn't know how he could raise his head again among his sect members let alone lead them.
Of course, Yang Zhou didn't tell frankly but guessed from his demeanor and how Tao Bing wen bragging that he will kill the Sacred Beast with his own hands they pretty much know what happened, meanwhile, the only ones encouraging Tao Bing Wen were the two beautiful girls who were his friends while Yang Zhao and others looked at Tao Bing wen with a resigned look.
But they were not alone because the Li Mo Zhen and the Mong brothers also did not expect how stupid Tao Bing Wen was, how could this stupid young man be related to Tao Ji Feng and Tao Jing Xi who were famous for their intelligence and strength, Tao Jing Xi himself was famous because with his own hands he made the Sword Saint Sect the second strongest sect on the Hwang Wu continent only one level below the Heaven's Gate Sect.
The shocked looks of Li Mo Zhen and the Mong brothers at Tao Bing Wen's stupidity were misinterpreted by Tao Bing Wen as an expression of admiration as he felt even more convinced by his decision. Tao Bing Wen puffed out her chest with a smug smile.
[Aaah, how nostalgic...] Girsha sighed.
[What do you mean?] Lory hearing Grisha's comment through telepathy asked in confusion.
Girsha then nonchalantly replied [Doesn't he like you?]
[What, me? Impossible!] Lory rebuked strongly and also felt offended to be compared to that stupid young boy.
[You, don't remember? when you were eleven you hunted the white eye Behemoth alone and almost died because our powers weren't fully synchronized because you were too young, luckily Marcus and the ArchKnight came just in time!] Girsha reminded her.
[Hey I'm eleven so naturally, I'm a bit stupid after all that Behemoth has a limp one of its front legs so I guess....]
[Behemoth is as strong as a celestial beast in this world not to mention Behemoth is famous for being fierce, I don't know how many hunters died in its claws, you're lucky you didn't die then] Girsha laughed at him now but at that time she panicked and forced herself to merge with Lory, unfortunately, Lory's body still too small and unable to bear Girsha enormous strength, as a result, their power collide and exploded even though the power manage to kill the giant beast but Lory also almost died from it, If not because her healing gift and Marcus found her in a right time there's no question that Lory will be dead.
Luckily everything ended well but Lory was punished for a month and added to the punishment she had an extra lesson with Fred and Fargo who were ten times scarier than the ferocious Behemoth.
Lory recalled the memory and shuddered not because of the giant Behemoth but because of the amount of homework she got from Fred and the spartan lessons from Fargo, it was also the first time Lucas had ignored her in anger at the reckless behavior she made, Lory recalled at that moment she felt so guilty she almost cried.
