Chapter 115 Leaving me so soon? Part 3

"In fact, until recently there were only eight gates, with each organization supported by several mythically powerful grand elders."

"The ninth gate only fought its way into existence in the last ten years. But it was already on a completely different level."

"Their power and strength were so tremendous that others couldn't ignore them and they emerged as the ninth gate of hell, against all odds."

Su Lin nodded. She could vaguely understand what Squirrel was narrating and the power of the Ninth gate.

If that organization was not enough then others wouldn't have acknowledged them.

"But, such power and strength came at a price."

"Rumors are that the Ninth gate kidnapped an untold number of civilian children from different parts of the world, brainwashed them and nourished them in ancient martial arts, and built an astonishingly powerful army in a short amount of time."

"The other gates tried to investigate this, but ultimately failed."

"In the end, they all agreed that no one would take any drastic actions, as long as the Ninth gate didn't affect the civilian world too much, and eventually let the matter go."

"But, only we know that the rumors are in fact the cruel truth."

Squirrel paused and looked at his unwavering fearless master's eyes with a hesitant expression. There was an untold amount of pain and fear etched in his eyes.

He then continued, "Once upon a time, we were also among those kidnapped children."

"There is no one who can possibly match first brother's strategy and tactical prowess."

"After ten years of cruel captivity, forced to train our physique and battle stances, first brother finally managed to lead us to our escape."

"Even then we were only able to escape after sacrificing two of our own. There were totally ten of us in our batch, but we lost two of our brothers while escaping."

Su Lin nodded, slightly cringing at Squirrel's narrative.

Someone actually kidnapped small children and forced them to train in martial arts day and night?

Even in her world, she despised these insects and leeches, who solely survived by exploiting others.

If you dared to dream about standing at the top, you need to rely on your own strength to achieve that. Nothing else was permanent.

She recalled the numerous scars decorating Luther's perfectly sculpted body and dreaded to think about the story behind each and every one of them.

Squirrel shivered slightly and ended his reminiscence of the past.

"And now, they are hunting us non-stop."

After talking with Squirrel for some more time, Su Lin tried to gather some ideas about the strength and power of these monstrous organizations.

Apparently, rumors were that the really powerful family elders of these sects can breathe fire and call down the thunder.

Their bodies were indestructible and several of them were definitely more than a hundred years old.

The more Su Lin listened to Squirrel's descriptions, the more familiar she was with the concept.

Isn't he just describing normal cultivators?

Indestructible body and long lifespan - both can simply be obtained by cultivating to Stage 3 Soul Core stage.

So cultivation was in fact prevalent on earth as well!

Though the atmosphere itself isn't completely brimming with spiritual energy, several parts of this world apparently had rich consolidated deposits.

Su Lin herself had confirmed this fact.

These fledgling humans are actually using these small minuscule reserves and dared to name themselves as Nine Gates of Hell! What ridiculousness?

Do these foolish idiots even realize the depth of the cultivation world?

Squirrel expected Su Lin to completely break down and collapse, but he was seeing something entirely unexpected!

His master was actually chuckling, that too very genuinely!

Was she not scared? Did she not hold their elder brother close to her heart?

How could she take a threat to his life this jovially?

Squirrel couldn't help but wonder about their importance to Su Lin.

After all, they were all acquainted with each other for less than a measly year.

Squirrel shook his head, a small tinge of disappointment creeping up his heart.

It's not like he expected Su Lin to join their fight and help them.

That would be too much to ask someone for. They were not fighting against some street corner bullies like the Tang family.

They were fighting against the Ninth Gate of Hell!

But still, he didn't expect his master to just laugh out loud, not taking anything he had spoken to the heart.

Su Lin left Squirrel to brew the body-tempering liquid in peace and went upstairs to meditate for a while.

Before this morning, she had a plan... a rough idea to build her strength.

But now that she had a clearer picture of who they were up against, her previous plan will absolutely topple and fail.

It was simply too slow and futile.

Though they were dealing with mere insects, those insects were all currently stronger than her!

She no longer had the luxury to hide anything from Luther.

He might fear her and even despise her, but it was still better for him to be alive and have all those feelings towards her.

Su Lin made up her mind. She decided to tell Luther everything. She absolutely had to take this risk.

But weirdly, even after she had searched the entire mansion, she still couldn't get a hold of anyone, including Luther.

Even his phone was not reachable.

Su Lin started panicking because she had no idea about where to find him or how to reach him!

"Damn it. You can't possibly leave without even telling me!"

She anxiously sat on the couch, waiting for them all night. But, hours trickled by and still, there was no sign of anyone.
