BAIHU (White Tiger Warrior): Challenging the Dragon
CHAPTER 56 | News spread

Crown Prince Zhang Mou's face darkened hearing the report from Sun Yang. “What happened?” zhang Mou asked with an angry look.

“There has been chaos in the prison of the King's Tomb. Someone from the Sun Moon sect released the prisoners and killed the 3 elders of the King's Tomb sect who guarded the place.” Sun Yang lowered his head.

Zhang Mou's eyes twitched hearing that, “What? One person from the Moon Sun Sect?”

Zhang Mou wrinkled his forehead, all this time other than the head of the Sun Moon sect there was no longer anyone who had high strength in the Sun Moon sect who could defeat the 3 elders from the King Tomb sect.

“Who is that person?” ask Zhang Mou back

“They do not know the name of the person, but they say a boy about 17 years old” said Sun Yang

Zhang Mou stunned listening to that, “17 year old boy? Who's the kid?”

“Guard, get Zhang Ji here!” zhang Mou orders the guards at his doorstep.

Before long the guard came with Zhang Ji to meet Zhang Mou. “What brother called me?” zhang Ji asked his brother Zhang Mou.

“Zhang Ji, is there a 17-year-old boy from the Sun Moon sect who has high strength?” zhang Mou asked Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji frowned, “There used to be a child named Baihu who won an inter-sect martial arts match. Maybe he's around that age now. But I have not heard the news since the incident a year ago, said Zhang Ji.

Listening to Zhang Ji's reply, Zhang Mou's face looked back in contemplation. He thought about the possibility that the child was Baihu according to Zhang Ji's words. “Is that kid in the cave?” zhang Mou thought in his musings recalling the events during the martial arts match last year.

“Good. Sun Yang, come with me to Star City. There is another thing that I also want to talk about with Chen Guo” Zhang Mou said after thinking about it carefully. He wanted to make sure first that it was directly on the scene.

“Good young master” said Sun Yang while saluting him.

Meanwhile Wang Mei in the city of Persik was still thinking about Baihu leaving her. After subtly rejecting the proposal from Zhang Mou, and the Crown Prince, Zhang Mou agreed to it, Wang Mei felt a little relieved. Now he wanted to go with Baihu to find the whereabouts of the sect head Shang Chi.

“Maybe Baihu left me because he got a hint of the sect head's whereabouts. I have to help her” Wang Mei muttered in her heart while walking in the middle of Peaches city.

“But where should I look?”

As Wang Mei walked in the center of Peaches thinking about Baihu's departure, she listened to the talk on the streets about the chaos in the King's Tomb sect. They said they had heard of the incident from the guards who witnessed the horrific fight back then.

One of them called the moves that the boy had deployed so terrifying and left the bodies of the elders smashed into pieces. Those people goosebumps just listening to the story

Wang Mei who happened to pass by them immediately asked, “Where did it happen?”

“Oh miss, it happened in the sect of the Tomb of the King of Bintang” city said the person who told the story.

“Bintang” City Wang Mei ponders about it. He felt it must have something to do with Baihu. And the city of Bintang traversed by the river from the city of Persik to the southwest.

After getting permission, Wang Mei went to the city of Bintang by sailing through the river which takes 3 days to travel.

******

In the Star City, the incident became widely discussed by people. Baihu's eyes became twitching along the way hearing that, making her feel less free to travel.

When he arrived at the inn, it appeared that the sect heads had already completely recovered and were about to return to the residence of their respective sects. They also say goodbye to Baihu and say thank you again.

Shi Yuan was about to return to the northern region where the Wudang sect was located to escort his teacher back. Shi Yuan was talking to Yang Zi outside the room.

“Nona Yang, I will return north with our sect leader. Will miss come with me?” ask Shi Yuan directly

Shi Yuan had feelings for Yang Zi, yet he had not dared to reveal them. He could only slowly try to get close to her.

“Master Shi, we still have to search for the whereabouts of our sect leader. One day we will definitely pay a visit to the Wudang” sect residence Yang Zi said as he looked at Shi Yuan's face which looked disappointed but tried to calm down.

“Alright, I will wait for your arrival to pay a visit to our sect” Shi Yuan said back.

They had agreed to meet again one day if the existence of the Heavenly Sword sect master had been discovered.

Although Yang Zi had been saved by Shi Yuan, yet she did not have any feelings for him. He felt Shi Yuan was more considered an elder brother by him. Yang Zi's feeling was actually on the boy inside the room he saw was cool talking to the sect heads and being accompanied by Mu Lin.

His face was slightly red looking at Mu Lin who was always accompanying wherever Baihu went. He felt really upset and jealous because of it. But he didn't want anyone else to know. Maybe only Xin Ye really knew about it.

“See you again sect head” said Baihu while saluting the three sect heads who were about to leave.

After everyone said their goodbyes, Shi Yuan and the Wudang sect head headed to the northern region using the river. The head of the Huasan sect used the land route to go to the Golden city where the Huasan sect lived. While the head of the Kunlun sect went across the river to the Kun Lun mountain which was in the southern region.

Now only Baihu remained accompanied by three women in the inn. They were thinking about the information that the three sect heads had given before.

“Baihu, what will we do next?” asked Yang Zi then.

Baihu pondered listening to Yang Zi's question, he felt that the relationship between the King's Tomb sect and the kidnapping of the sect's chief was very close. So he decided to go investigate this sect of the King's Tomb.

“Miss Mu Lin, in addition to the cave. Where else does the King's Tomb sect have their residence?” tanya Baihu next.

“Sekte Tomb of the King has many caves for their headquarters. But they also have a main place in the northern suburbs of Star City which they call the King's Tomb.” said Mu Lin who had long worked as a servant of the King's Tomb sect.

Yang Zi and Xin Ye who were listening to frowned, “Could they have locked up the other sect head in the King's Tomb?”

“Entah, I rarely get the task of going there. Last I was assigned there 4 months ago, but I only took supplies for the prison cave sect” Mu Lin said.

“We have to search and investigate to all places belonging to the sect Tomb of the King.” Baihu sahut back.
