The Lightning Driver
Chapters. 36. Intrigue
“Hai! ... Looks like this area is very familiar to me, Eira! Do you know which area we're in?” Gou Long asked breaking the silence of twilight.
“Sstt! Shut up, you always lose your guard, remember! If you want to live long in the martial World, never lower your guard wherever you are, we are currently in the Valley of Lightning Mountain.”
“Befit, this feels very close, apparently this is my place of residence five years ago,”, Gou Long said. He remembered his mother's father.
“Sstt! Notice the area around you, within a radius of five hundred spears, has gathered many humans, some are in groups there are alone.” Eira broke Gou Long's daydream, he whispered softly.
Gou Long came to a realization, immediately paying attention to the atmosphere in that place, just like Eira said, various types of humans were gathering here. Most of them were Earth Realm fighters, and the one leading each group of them was a Sky Realm fighter.
Mostly, Gou Long knew them, namely the Patriarch of the Main Family of Xia Yu City, the Patriarch of the Skull Valley Sect, Kun Hong.
Gou Long who did not want to meet people he knew, moved darting towards the other trees. He realized that there were two people who were also hiding and saw the situation of the Lightning Mountain Valley.
“Hold the attacks of the seniors, I have no intention of looking for a commotion, let's negotiate.” Gou Long who was moving, said with a voice emitting. It could only be heard by the two people who were in hiding.
For a moment, the two people stared at each other and nodded their heads. The fierce attitude that was shown had disappeared along with their willingness with the negotiations proposed by Gou Long.
The two people were slightly surprised when Gou Long stood before them. It really did not occur to them to meet a young man who was very young but had managed to step into the Early Stage Sky Realm.
On the shoulder of the young man, sat with the henchman of a very cute white fox. “Maybe the young man's pet,” thought both. If they knew it was the first grade Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, they might be very frightened.
“Senior two, I'm Gou Long, this mountain was my residence. In these few years I have ventured to a place that I am sure no one wants to go there.”
“I don't know what happened to the Southern Border World, and why are so many people gathered here? Also they formed factions as if they wanted to fight each other, would senior tell me a bit?” Gou Long asked politely, slightly pleading.
“Brother Gou, I'm Chung Munna and this is my brother Chung Bau Im. We are from the Alchemist Guild. We came here just just want to see the crowd, and of course there will be a fight to the death,” said Chung Munna. He seemed very happy waiting for the excitement in that place.
“Don't you know, that the Southern region is warming up in these few months? The death of Patriarch Sun and the entire Murong Family, represents the beginning of all trouble in the South.” Chung Bau Im, connect his brother's words.
“Second Senior, Junior is looking forward to a thorough explanation,” pinta Gou Long.
“Brother Gou, since the death of Patriarch Sun, the position of the ruler of Xia Yu City became a struggle between fellow main families. So, they compete with each other for retreat and solidify the energy foundation in.”
“Out of the retreat, their cultivation realm increased to the Early Stage Sky realm. But, this is still the beginning. Worse, by then there had been information about the Book of Five Yang on this Mountain, the position of the book in the cave, it was behind the waterfall there.” Chung Bau Im explained, while pointing towards the waterfall.
Gou Long realized, behind the waterfall there is a cave. He used to train under the pressure of waterfalls, and when he felt tired, he would fall asleep and lie in a cave.
“Not so the problem, Brother Gou! According to the rumors, the book was guarded by a second-class Demon Spider. So that people who get this information do not dare to pocket the book,” replied Chung Munna, back to connect the story. Chung Munna's character is more assertive when compared to Chung Bau Im.
“By crowding, it will be easier to kill second grade Demon Spiders. This is not to blame for the person who disseminates the information. Brother Gou, can you count how many Celestial Realm cultivators are in the Southern area? Can only be counted fingers.”
“According to the plan of the results of the deliberation of several group leaders a few days ago, after successfully clearing up the demon, the Book of Five Yang will be auctioned at the auction house of Xia Yu City.”
“In order to avoid mutual seizure and deception, each group sent one person as the bodyguard of the book at the auction house.” Chung Munna ended the story.
“Omong empty! Since when was there a book in that cave, and since when were there demons guarding the book there?” Gou Long was unconscious, spontaneously uttering the word.
“Wait Brother Gou, you mean there are no books and also demons in the cave?” Chung Bau Im asked Gou Long.
“Really! There are no two things in the cave,” Gou Long replied firmly, confidence in yourself visible in Gou Long's eyes.
“It feels impossible, look at everyone gathered here. Are they all stupid?” Back Chung Munna cut Gou Long's speech.
“You don't trust me?” Gou Long gave a little affirmation.
“Alright, look at this!” While saying, Gou Long's shadow silhouette had disappeared from where he stood. Without a second thought he darted into the cave behind the waterfall.
“Brother, what are you doing!” chung Munna shouted.
At that time many screams were heard on the side of the waterfall.
“Brothers! Tighten the guard and siege of this waterfall, some of which precede us into the cave.”
Immediately, a human shadow moved around and surrounded the place with a sword in hand. Some were empty-handed, and some wore spears and sticks. They waited patiently for the shadow that had entered the cave to come out.
Gou Long who was moving rapidly into the cave suddenly heard a loud reprimand in the ears, which reprimanded of course the cute fox on his shoulder.
“Foolish boy, again you act as good as your stomach, why don't you think long before taking action? You don't love what life is? I'm starting to feel a little regret binding a soul contract with you.”
“Let's just relax, I've thought a thousand times. It is easy for me to escape from here, if indeed the chaos that arises cannot be overcome. Anyway I am sure everyone present here is not able to rival my speed,” Gou Long replied with a smile.
