Chapter 142 - Acknowledging Master (2/2)

During this period of time, Zhou Donghuang had been seated cross-legged all the while on his back as he practiced, and even though bitterly cold strong winds had buffeted them, it did not affect his practice one bit.

The Valley of the Medicine Masters was located southwest of the country of Yunyang, and was still some distance from the country of Yunyang.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

“Young Master, we have arrived.”

Since setting out from the Chu royal city of the Western Ridge, Big Gold had spent ten days and had now reached the airspace just outside the Valley of the Medicine Masters, and he informed Zhou Donghuang immediately.

“We have arrived?”

Zhou Donghuang roused himself from his practice and opened his eyes, gazing ahead. With a single glance, he took in the vast valley before him.

Buildings could be vaguely seen scattered in clusters around in the valley, and there were several wide roads that connected the buildings and led out of the valley.

“The environment of this Valley of the Medicine Masters is really not bad.”

Besides the clusters of buildings, the valley itself retained the original appearance of mountain forests, and seen from afar, the swath of green made one feel happy and relaxed.

“Young Master, do we go straight in?”

In the blink of an eye, Big Gold had ferried Zhou Donghuang to the airspace bordering the Valley of the Medicine Masters, and he questioned Zhou Donghuang as he circled in the air.

“We go straight in,” Zhou Donghuang said casually.

The master of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, Su Mo, had already acknowledged him as superior and was willing to be submit to him like a dog.

Now that he was coming to his dog’s territory, why should he have to stop at the entrance to the Valley of the Medicine Masters and let someone announce his arrival?

“As you say,” Big Gold acknowledged, and with a flap of his wings, he seemed to transform into a bolt of black lightning and hurtled through the air into the valley where the Valley of the Medicine Masters was located, entering into the airspace of the valley proper.

“Young Master, how shall we seek out that Valley Master of the Valley of the Medicine Masters?” Big Gold asked Zhou Donghuang as he circled in the air above the valley proper.

“Wait a while, he’ll naturally come over.” Zhou Donghuang replied casually, as though he concluded from his own words that the Valley Master of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, Su Mo would personally come over to welcome him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Donghuang, who had was sitting cross-legged on Big Gold’s back, closed his eyes and began to meditate.

There were observation towers at various points in the valley where the Valley of the Medicine Masters was located, and there were usually elders of the Valley of the Medicine Masters mounted on Great Consummation flying demons there on duty.

The main responsibility of their duty was to be the “eyes” of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, keeping a lookout in all directions.

One of the elders of the Valley of the Medicine Masters soon spotted a flying demon that suddenly appeared and began circling in the air above the Valley of the Medicine Masters. It seemed to be a flying demon of an eagle species.

“The rider is probably the esteemed guest that the Valley Master informed us about earlier,” he thought.

Earlier, Valley Master Su Mo of the Valley of the Medicine Masters had returned from outside, and he immediately convened a meeting of the group of elders responsible for the duty of the observation towers. He informed them to keep a constant watch on the airspace over the valley where the Valley of the Medicine Masters was located.

If there was someone riding a demon eagle into the valley, they were not to offend the new arrival and were to notify him immediately. That would be his esteemed guest, and he would receive his guest personally.

Muttering to himself, this elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters leapt onto the back of an enormous grey vulture. Riding the vulture and transforming into a grey blur, he hurtled towards the side of the valley.

That big grey vulture was one of the Great Consummation flying demons reared in the Valley of the Medicine Masters, a thunder-feathered vulture. Flying demons made up the majority of the Great Consummation demons reared in the Valley of the Medicine Masters.

This could be attributed to the former Connate-stage demon, the Silver-Crowned Crane of the Valley of the Medicine Masters. As a Connate-stage flying demon, that Silver-Crowned Crane could easily hunt and kill Great Consummation flying demons and plunder their eggs.

Those eggs eventually became the property of the Valley of the Medicine Masters.

“Valley Master.”

As soon as the elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters had ridden the thunder-feathered vulture and landed at the accommodation of the master of the Valley of the Medicine Masters, Su Mo, reporting to him that someone riding an eagle species demon had arrived, Su Mo hurriedly mounted the thunder-feathered vulture’s back and rode the mount up into the air.

“What manner of esteemed guest would cause the Valley Master to so hurriedly rush to welcome him in such a manner?” With an expression of surprise and shock, the elder of the Valley of the Medicine Masters watched the thunder-feathered vulture rapidly become a little black dot before his eyes.

“Even when the sect master of the Guiyuan sect arrived, I had never seen the Valley Master lose his composure like that.”

The Guiyuan sect was a sect of similar strength to the Valley of the Medicine Masters, and their sect master was also a late Connate-stage adept.

The Valley of the Medicine Masters commanded a vast swath of territory adjacent to the Sixteen Countries of East Valley, and the Guiyuan sect commanded a vast swath of territory adjacent to the Fourteen Countries of the North Border.

“Su Mo acknowledges Master!”

Zhou Donghuang, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and meditating on the back of the golden-crowned eagle, had waited just fifteen minutes before the Valley Master of the Valley of the Medicine Masters Su Mo arrived.

When Su Mo saw the youth once again, he respectfully prostrated himself on the back of the thunder-feathered vulture with a humble demeanor, as compliant as a well-trained dog!

The thunder-feathered vulture had no true intelligence. Otherwise, seeing the valley master of the Valley of the Medicine Masters kneel before a youth and address him as “Master,” it would probably be so shocked that it would forget to flap its wings and plummet through the air.
