BXBX NOVEL Chapter 735 - Arrival
Chapter 735: Arrival
Outside the Beast King Sect, a Magic Cloud drifted from afar. The layers of the cloud were concentrated and did not disperse, making it look as majestic as a giant beast if one looked at it from below.
A flash of a figure was seen as Yuqi the Venerable One soared into the sky and utilized the air flows around him to zoom toward the cloud.
He floated above the cloud after a brief moment and looked coldly at the beings on it.
“Heh, Brother Yu, long time no see.” Lingfeng the Venerable One laughed.
Yuqi the Venerable One glanced at the cloud layers and remarked coldly, “Brother Ling, you’re quite generous to be using Mount Wuzhi’s ultimate sect treasure.”
He recognized everyone on the cloud with his electric eyes.
They were Ou Yangming’s comrades, who came from the lower realm with him. Yuqi the Venerable One had sent letters many times for Mount Wuzhi to send them here to gather with the young fellow, but the powerhouses on the mountain ignored him.
Now that the Phoenixes made a mighty appearance and appointed Ou Yangming as their race’s messenger, Mount Wuzhi immediately changed their attitude. Not only did not send the young fellow’s companions here, but they also used a massive flight treasure.
At the end of the day, the cloud was also a flight treasure, but it was of a higher level than Yuqi the Venerable One’s flying carpet.
Nonetheless, such a treasure would not normally be possessed by a certain being; it would be a sect’s supreme treasure. Now that Lingfeng the Venerable One came in a Magic Cloud, he had unquestionably added brilliance to Mount Wuzhi.
Yuqi the Venerable One was indignant, but he was helpless. After all, he could not destroy the treasure just because Lingfeng the Venerable One was showing off.
Lingfeng the Venerable One grinned and responded, “Brother Yu, I’m escorting them here with my sect’s ultimate treasure for safety purposes. Hehe...” He stroked his beard and noted casually, “It was also your request.”
Yuqi the Venerable One cursed internally, ‘I’ve sent letters to you countless times, but I never got any reply.
‘Hmph, if Ou Yangming hadn’t become the Phoenixes’ messenger, would you have sent his companions here?’
Nevertheless, he would only keep those thoughts to himself.
“If that’s the case, thanks for the trouble, Brother Ling.” Yuqi the Venerable One calmed down and looked at Multi-armed King Kong and the others. “Now that you’ve come to the Beast King Sect, you’re our noble guests, so please come in.”
Hong Feiyu and Wu Yuanwei quickly lowered their heads. They were deeply in awe.
It was a Venerable One that spoke, and they were nothing as compared to such a powerhouse.
Not only did Lingfeng the Venerable One treat them with special respect, but Yuqi the Venerable One from the Beast King Sect was also being friendly instead of aloof. Hong Feiyu and Wu Yuanwei knew very well they owed this to Ou Yangming, but they could not figure out what exactly the young fellow did for the Venerable Ones to change their attitudes.
Lingfeng the Venerable One suddenly reached out his arm and said, “Brother Yu, you got it wrong.”
Yuqi the Venerable One asked coldly, “What did I do wrong?”
“Since I went on a long journey to escort them here, I should meet their master.” Lingfeng the Venerable One laughed.
A strange smile could be seen on Yuqi the Venerable One’s face as he asked, “You want to meet Master Ou?”
“Yes.” Lingfeng the Venerable One somewhat had a bad hunch when he noticed the smile on Yuqi the Venerable One’s face. Even so, he stated calmly, “Since I’ve escorted them here to reunite with Master Ou, of course, I should meet him too.”
Hong Feiyu and Wu Yuanwei exchanged glances. They were both excited.
‘Master Ou?
‘Ou Yangming was actually addressed a master by these 2 Venerable Ones.’
Regardless if this was due to Ou Yangming’s extraordinary smithing art or not, the fact that the term of address was used by the Venerable Ones had an entirely different meaning.
Yuqi the Venerable One chuckled and replied to Lingfeng the Venerable One, “Brother Ling, what a pity—it would’ve been great if you arrived a few days earlier.”
Lingfeng the Venerable One’s face changed. “Brother Yu, what do you mean?”
“Heh, Master Ou left the Beast King Sect the day before yesterday,” Yuqi the Venerable One answered calmly.
“Oh? Where did he go?” Lingfeng the Venerable One furrowed his eyebrows. “I can visit him there.”
The eyebrows of Hong Feiyu and Wu Yuanwei twitched hard. ‘Visit? A Venerable One actually wants to visit Ou Yangming... Oh god, is this really the Spiritual Realm?’
Wu Yuanwei’s face took on a weird look at this moment. He finally understood what Lingfeng the Venerable One meant when they spoke in the equipment depot the other day.
“Ah, I have no idea where Master Ou went.” Yuqi the Venerable One looked regretful. “Not only me, but nobody in the Beast King knows.”
He was speaking half the truth. Although nobody in the Beast King Sect dared to follow Ou Yangming, Gu Jiacheng knew the reason he left; it was because the young fellow wanted to grow a Phoenix Fire Bamboo.
Since Ou Yangming possessed the Heavenly Phoenix Fire, it would not be a problem for him to breed the bamboo. He would be able to return after 1 to 3 months, but Yuqi the Venerable One would not share this information with anyone or any force.
Lingfeng the Venerable One finally looked displeased. He was slightly furious as he commented, “Brother Yu, don’t you think that you’re inviting contempt?”
Yuqi the Venerable One looked snappily at him and questioned, “Brother Ling, Master Ou was the one that decided to leave. Do you dare to stop him?”
Lingfeng the Venerable One was stunned. A blacksmith that was only an Intermediate Spiritualist was nothing much, but if the blacksmith was the Phoenixes’ messenger, nobody would have the guts to stop him.
He pondered for a while and made his decision. “Fine, if that’s the case, I’ll bring them back first. When Master Ou returns, we’ll come to visit again.” As he flapped his sleeves, the cloud slowly turned around.
Yuqi the Venerable One was infuriated. “Brother Ling, since they’re here already, why are you bringing them back again? That’s unreasonable!”
Lingfeng the Venerable One rolled his eyes and answered, “I brought them here to reunite with Master Ou. Since he’s not here, it’s only natural for me to bring them back.”
Yuqi the Venerable One sneered. “They’re Master Ou’s companions, so I’m sure they have their own thoughts of where they want to go, right?” He first looked at Multi-armed King Kong and said, “You’re the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s descendant, right? Brother 10,000 Beasts sent me a message to let you stay in the Beast King Sect. It’ll make time to come and see you.”
Multi-armed King Kong’s eyes lit up. It lifted its head and responded, “I’ll obey its order.”
Its voice spread far and wide. Other than the beings on the cloud, the people on the ground heard it well too.
Lingfeng the Venerable One had a ghastly look on his face. He knew Multi-armed King Kong was the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s descendant, but he had only pretended not to know all along. Now that the truth was revealed by Yuqi the Venerable One, he was enraged.
If Lingfeng the Venerable One insisted on taking Multi-armed King Kong away, he would provoke Ou Yangming, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, and the Beast King Sect at the same time. It would be too huge of a price to pay.
“Sir Venerable One, I’d like to stay too.” The goshawk suddenly closed its wings and bowed at Lingfeng the Venerable One. “I feel that there’ll be a higher chance for me to meet Master here.”
A fierce look could be seen in Lingfeng the Venerable One’s eyes. ‘How dare a little high-rank spirit beast force me to do this?’
Despite being mad, he could not kill the goshawk in public.
“Oh, do you think that you’ll surely get to meet Master Ou here?” Lingfeng the Venerable One asked in a deep voice.
Multi-armed King Kong answered after some thought, “Since Father gave me an order, I’ll obey it. Besides, I have a feeling that Master will come back for sure.” On the other hand, the goshawk kept flapping its wings as it agreed with the king kong.
They had been staying in Mount Wuzhi’s forbidden area for so long that even their bones became stiff.
Now that they finally found an opportunity to break free from Mount Wuzhi, they would hold on to it without letting go.
Hong Feiyu’s eyes flickered as he mustered his courage and stepped forward. “Sir Venerable One, since they’re both staying, I’d also like to...”
Lingfeng the Venerable On turned to look coldly at him with his blade-like eyes.
Hong Feiyu felt a chill in his heart, such that he could not utter another word anymore.
“Heh, Brother Ling, why are you angry?” Yuqi the Venerable One flapped his sleeves and released an enormous power to block Lingfeng the Venerable One’s momentum.
Lingfeng the Venerable One pondered for some time and glanced at the others. Apart from Wu Yuanwei, who dared not say a word, the others had the same look on their faces. The Venerable One relaxed after some time and said with a smile, “Fine, if that’s the case, I’ll trouble you for a few days then, Brother Yu.”
Yuqi the Venerable One was startled. “You’re staying too?”
Lingfeng the Venerable One stroked his beard and responded, “Since they think that Master Ou will return, I’ll wait here for a few days.”
The smile on Yuqi the Venerable One’s face froze a little. He forced a smile and replied to him, “Brother Ling, since you have the mood to stay here, I welcome you. Everyone, please...” He later flapped his sleeves and fluttered down.
Lingfeng the Venerable One looked deeply at Wu Yuanwei, then he controlled the Magic Cloud to descend to the ground.
Wu Yuanwei naturally understood what the Venerable One meant. When he looked around, he could not help but smile bitterly when he vaguely noticed unusual looks in his companions’ eyes.
He had been working hard to rope in Master Ou Yangming even when he was in the lower realm, but he did not expect things to be the same in the Spiritual Realm.
‘Ou Yangming, oh, Ou Yangming, are you really my bane?’
At this moment, he eagerly hoped that Lingfeng the Venerable One could bring Old Craftsman and Wu Hanning from the lower realm into the Spiritual Realm as soon as possible.
If not, he would not know how to complete the tasks assigned to him by his sect.
