Golden Dragon Swordsman S2
The Pursuit of the Northern Mainland

The shabby youth floating above the high seas looked so pale, his clothes were now soaked in sweat. After stabilizing his condition, he then sighed heavily when he found the heirloom stick he was holding emitting energy that was not as it should be. The young man realized that the energy of his heirloom stick some time ago was absorbed by something he did not know.

"Who can absorb your energy?" Ask the young man on his wand.

"I'm not sure who that person is, but it seems like he has a God-level power. I've been trying to find that person's whereabouts but I can't see it at all. Right now one of the energy shards has been absorbed completely, while the energy of mine and the other three shards are equally absorbed but it's a good thing that that person can't absorb them all." Said the heirloom stick spirit that sounded on the shabby young man's head.

"Is it possible that northern mainland cultivator did all this?" Thought the shabby young man as he shook his head slowly, he seemed hesitant considering the ability of those northern mainland cultivators to be the strongest was only at the Swordsman Realm stage.

"I have to make sure of it myself, it's possible that one of them hides his ability." The shabby youth clearly did not expect that the one who could absorb the energy of the Legendary Heirloom was an eastern mainland swordsman, considering that the eastern mainland warriors had a low ability.

The shabby young man then flew at high speed towards the northern land, and, even though he had lost track of the trouble three cultivators had died in his hands as well as the incident that forced him to stop because something was absorbing the energy of his immortal scepter, but the young man was very confident that those cultivators would return to the northern mainland.

Seeing the northern land was near, the shabby young man then disguised his existence and then flew higher above the sea of clouds to avoid the border guards.

"So this land is also protected by seals." The shabby young man smiled faintly before using the teleportation technique, and he suddenly appeared on top of a tree branch that was on the citizen's estate.

All the visitors to the store seemed to stare at the uneasy existence of a shabby young man who had just entered the store, there were even some of them who stood up and then confronted the shabby young man.

"Go!!! This isn't a place of bums and beggars like you." Snapped one of them with a cruel look.

The shabby young man grinned while scratching his tangled hair. 

"My house on the side of the road flutters the crowds, roofing the clouds. Get off me at the corner. Although this self is only a tramp, please allow this self to enter to just eat."

Everyone who heard the shabby young man say with a cheerful intonation made them all turn their attention towards the shabby young man.

"Hm... Turns out you're good at poetry. Ahaha.." A thick man walked over. "You can come in and eat with me as long as you want to make a poem for my beloved girl."

Everyone wanted to laugh at the words of the man, but they did not dare to do so because they knew that the man was one of the elders of the Southern Cloud Sect located to the east of this city.

"I'm just a tramp sir.

Departing from the dark story stops at every intersection.

Although my ideals are beautiful, but it only exists in wishful thinking.

Which cannot be separated.

Look at me in the side, please,

As a vagrant who meets life with a smile.

Burn the spirit all the way."

The man gawked because he could not understand the intent of the shabby young man. Everyone is like that, they try to understand the meaning of the verse but in the end they can only shake slowly because they feel that the young man is a little crazy.

"Young man, I don't think your poem is suitable for my lover. My lover is a beautiful woman not a midfielder like your poem." The man was upset.

"Love can give you light.

Even in the blind eye.

Love can also be a disaster.

Even to the people in heaven.

Ah, let .. Love needs no words."

The shabby youth just passed by leaving everyone who was made stunned, as if the young man had a spirit capable of shaking their souls.

Understanding the meaning of the verse, the man smiled broadly then approached the table where the shabby young man was sitting.

"I know that love requires evidence and struggle, but when my love for someone is not realizable. So I thought bringing it to life through writing was the right move." The man who was brewok breathed. "That's why I need your verse to get my love."

The shabby young man smiled wryly, he was often in such a situation. Many people ask themselves to make a poem for their lover.

"Like sand in a hand,

It will come off if it is too tightly held, though,

If it is love, you should be able to hold it with love. Not with your great ambition to own and master it."

"Sometimes we can't tell the difference between true love and obsession. Because blind feelings make us justify everything." The shabby young man turned his gaze towards the servant who had come to bring his order. "Don't you travel to the sahara fields to find beautiful trees, for you won't find them in the sahara fields, except for solitude. Instead, look at the hundreds of trees that shade you with their shade."

The man was made to gasp, he nodded his head as if to understand. Then he only realized if the background of the homeless youth was not as it seemed.

"Who are you really young?"

The young man pointed at his own nose. "Obviously no, I'm just a starving tramp." The shabby young man then devoured his food greedily, he continued to put food into his mouth that was still full. The sight made the man feel nauseous and could only shake his head.

Although a little uncomfortable with how to eat the shabby young man, the man appeared to continue watching him carefully trying to read the cultivation level of the shabby young man before him. He suspected that the shabby young man was a cultivator who was disguising himself so as not to attract attention.

"I can't read his mind either.." The man of the brew was inward, he had tried many times to read the cultivation level of the shabby young man, but the result remained the same that the young man was just an ordinary human.

Realizing that there was an energy trying to enter his mind, the shabby young man pretended to cough violently. "Damn it, this food is too spicy. Does this waitress want to make me sick to my stomach." His grunts in the heart, which deliberately so that men can bewok know the contents of his mind.

After drinking the water, the shabby young man grinned towards the man.

"His attitude was like a fool but his words seemed to indicate he was well educated." The fretting man frowned looking at the astonished shabby young man.

"Sir, why do you see me like that?"

"Hmm. I think I can help you change your life for the better if you want." Brewok man regretted the fate of the shabby young man, if you look around the shabby young man has a handsome face and an educated mindset. Therefore he really wanted to help the shabby young man at least become a city official.

"Thank you sir, I'm actually looking for my brother who said he was in the Red Lantern Sect. Do you know where the sect is?" The shabby young man could have read the mind of the man, but he did not want to take the risk, which was why he was looking for a reason to be able to get information on the location of the existence of the Red Lantern Sect from that person.

The man looked surprised. "If your brother is there, it is certain that he is now a member of them. I suggest you, you better not go there. I'm afraid you'll fall and get killed."

The bewok man looked into the eyes of the shabby young man fixedly. He nodded slowly after getting the truth from the shabby young man's words.

What actually happened was that the shabby young man had manipulated his mind, he created an imagination in his mind so that the man could see the image like the one on his coral. Where the imagination depicts an old woman lying weak, she expresses her last request that her son return despite only visiting her grave.

"Even so, going there is still very dangerous. I suggest once again, just undo your intentions."

"Can't sir, but I'll consider it. If getting in there is as dangerous as you say, then I'll wait for him until he gets out." 

The two of them were silent with their eyes staring at each other.

"All right, but be careful. I hope this meeting isn't the last." The man let out a long breath. "You go to the southeast, when you reach Renwu, then go east. After passing through three villages and one more city, you will be able to see putuo mountain. It was near the mountain that there was a lake and in the middle of the lake that was the location of the Red Lantern Sect was located."

"Thank you, sir.." The shabby young man lowered his head several times, then placed a piece of paper on the table before bailing out the shop.

The man grabbed the paper that was in front of him, then he looked at the back of the shabby young man as he shook his head slowly. "Damn, he hasn't paid for his meal yet." The grumpy man was cracking while annoyed.

He then read the contents of the piece of paper that the shabby young man had left behind. His eyes immediately sparkled after reading the contents of the piece of paper, which was none other than the love verse that he thought was so beautiful. He intended to copy it to give to the woman of his tribe, and the paper given from the shabby young man he would keep as a memento.

"Why am I so stupid, I haven't even asked his name." 

The man immediately ran out of the tavern, but when he got outside he did not see the young man again. Not until there, the man was still trying to detect the existence of the aura of the young man he was looking for, but the aura of the young man had vanished as if it was already far from the reach of his technique.

"It turns out my hunch was right, he was indeed a cultivator. But what was the real reason the young poet went to the Red Lantern Headquarters." The man rubbed his brewok seemed to be thinking about all the possibilities related to the purpose of the shabby young man.

"Sorry sir, you haven't paid for the food you ordered." The word of the security guard of the tavern disperse the man's daydream.

***

On top of one of the chunks of rock that was between the swift flow of river water suddenly appeared a shabby young man, he circulated his glance and then shot upwards.

"It turns out it's still a long way away.." The shabby young man sharpened his eyesight combing the dense vegetation of the forest.

After estimating the distance between his position and the settlement he saw in the distance, the young man disappeared again using teleportation techniques and suddenly appeared inside the large wall surrounding a city.

The shabby young man walked down the quiet street, until he finally saw a girl sitting alone under a bonsai tree.

"Miss dressed in blue

Your eyes are beautiful looking innocent

Makes my heart feel uncertain

I want to feel like I'm holding you

I held the friendly in my arms

I kiss your eyeballs gently

I'll take you to the blue clouds

Will you be my wife." 

After saying so, the shabby young man suddenly knelt before the blue-clothed girl, making the girl flinch in shock and misbehavior.

"Who, who are you sir? We just met why do you want to ask me?" The girl looked nervous with red blush cheeks.

"I am your prince,

And you are my queen, my,

O my love, my,

Open a little door for me, your heart,

So that I can dive into your heart,

So that I can enjoy the first full night with you."

"Plaaafowe.. Plaunkt..." 

I heard a slap twice, "Based on a perverted young man." The girl kicked the young man before getting up and breezing away.

The shabby young man smiled widely as he scratched his head, "Miss is not what I mean to tease you, I just want to ask you something."

The blue-clothed girl stopped her steps and turned her body towards the young man with a frowning face in annoyance.

"Why not ask directly from the beginning." The girl said in a sniffling tone.

"Hahaha, miss, your face is more beautiful if.."

"Enough, I don't want to hear any more of your sweet words. Now just tell me what you want to ask, no need to mince words or I'll go." The girl seemed to want to turn the body but was immediately prevented.

"Wait for miss, is Mount Putuo still far away?" The shabby youth stood up while patting his pants dirty by the dust.

The blue-clothed girl pointed her index finger towards the northeast then gawked away with a face that was still scowling.

"Why is it so hard for a woman to understand, when before she looked like me." The shabby young man scratched his head. "Well, I'm lucky I didn't go too far."

Sensing the strong wind, the blue-clothed girl turned her head to where the shabby young man was, but she now did not find the young man there, because the young man had flown into space.

"I must hurry or grandma will scold me for taking too long to complete this mission." The shabby young man sat up while gazing far towards the northeast.

"Maybe it's the mountain.."
