Legend of the Heavenly God
Ch. 103 ~ Hibei Village 2
Fu Duan was speechless after giving all the information he had obtained, cold sweat pouring down his temple in fear at the sight of Tiandou's flat reaction. In his heart, the end of life might be coming to him soon along with Tiandou's light steps closer to him.
Tiandou patted Fu Duan on the shoulder, a light pat accompanied by a faint smile.
"I'm quite satisfied with your information, leave before I change my mind,"
Fu Duan gulped his saliva staring at the nanar then lowered his head, "Thank you for the kindness of the swordsman master! I'm not gonna be troublemaking anymore,"
After saying a word and saluting, he rushed to run as fast as he could. Leaving behind Tiandou who was still smiling.
"Rightly what Young Master had expected, this village harbored something special. Worth a lot of warriors being here,-!! They tried their luck apparently, heh." Tiandou's mind as he turned his body prepared to dart back into the tavern.
When in his running pace, he accidentally saw there was a group of warriors with similar robes. Tiandou decided to stop and hide to find out who they were and what their goals were.
There was no need to get close enough to see them, Tiandou used the Eye of Heaven. How shocked Tiandou was when he found out who they were. Tiandou hit the tree trunk where he was hiding while continuing to watch the group of five people.
"Golden Tiger Sect! Isn't that Gao Zhan? Ah ... Goddamn bum! They must have come here to target the Golden Jasmine Flower and the Dragon Hawk Tiger? I'd better hurry back," growled Tiandou clenched his hand.
The information he got from Fu Duan was in fact not a secret, Tiandou was well acquainted with the Golden Tiger sect. A few years ago Elder Jing Yun was seriously injured when dealing with one of the elders of the Golden Tiger sect while on a mission in the Hao Kingdom.
The Golden Tiger Sect was a neutral sect but inclined towards the black stream given the sect's track record during this time, the close relationship with the Green Valley became incontrovertible evidence.
Even some of the Green Valley members who survived the incident a few years ago fled and hid in the Golden Tiger Sect that was in the Hao Kingdom.
On returning to the Seven Golden Spears back then, Elder Jing Yun only mentioned one name, Gao Zhan. This was remembered by all the spear elders who heard the explanation of Elder Jing Yun including Tiandou who at that time did not take a joint mission because of his sadness.
All the traits and powers that Gao Zhan possessed were told very clearly by Elder Jing Yun. Although the severe injuries suffered did not endanger his life but it was enough to make him disappear for 2 years from the martial world.
"Yue Yin! Can you find out the whereabouts of the Dragon Scale Tiger that the jerk told me about just now?" tiandou seriously asked Yue Yin in his running pace.
"Understand, Master!"
Yue Yin walked out of Tiandou's soul room then transformed into a white-haired dove after a moment of discussion. The two split off the road. Tiandou shot out at high speed towards the tavern, while Yue Yin flew towards the opposite direction.

"Are you the one who spoke to me? I'm sorry if my actions made my grandfather uncomfortable" Tan Hao said through his mind.
The shabby-legged old man raised his head, seen by Tan Hao's smile as well as his facial expression so calm and pleasant.
"No problem, no problem!! I like a young man who has high instincts like you. Looks like your friend needs help, try to notice," the old man replied while holding an old flute made from a kind of yellowish-black animal ivory.
Tan Hao flinched then turned his head towards Lan Lihua being, "They can handle it. Oh yes grandfather, my name is Tan Hao! Whose grandfather's name ... ."
When Tan Hao turned his head back, the sideways old man had disappeared. Even Tan Hao did not know the movement of energy that occurred or felt it.
Confusion was clearly implied from his facial expression, Tan Hao stared at the wine glass in front of him.
"Who is that old man! Its power is completely invisible to me, its existence even as if it does not exist. Was that just my imagination, ah ... Goddamnit,"
"Tiandou Senior! Oh you're back ... How's it?" tan Hao said a little surprised.
Tiandou grabbed a chair then sat down beside Tan Hao, his expression so solemn.
"really. In this region there were not only Dragon Scale Tigers like the Young Master said, but there were also Golden Jasmine Flowers. I had already asked Yue Yin to find out the whereabouts of that sky-grade spiritual beast, regarding the Golden Jasmine Flower. Hm ... ."
Tiandou set his breath then whispered.
"The resource was already taken by an old beggar who wore camping and had a flute. According to what I heard,"
"Camping beggars? A flute? The person with the characteristics you mean just now he was here and went somewhere before senior came," said Tan Hao, not believing what he heard.
Tiandou was startled this time, until his cold expression turned foolish.
"No way!"
According to the information Tiandou had heard a moment ago, the old beggar in question had left the forest of the dragon continent after successfully retrieving the Golden Jasmine Flower that was at the top of hibei mountain.
Tiandou also told about the possible movement of the black-flow sects that were eyeing the Dragon Scale Tiger. Including the telling of the Golden Tiger sect.
"I think the shabby beggar was one of the warriors of the past who had long left the martial world,-!! All right, forget about it,"
Tan Hao became calmer after sipping two small glasses of wine. The look on his face did not show that he was drunk but his eyes seemed to be held back for a moment when he turned his head.
"This Zhao Zhan how strong is he?" asked Tan Hao who was looking towards the road towards the tavern.
In the distance, five people in similar clothes were walking casually towards the tavern. There were only two people who looked old.
"Overpower Elder Jing Yun! I felt that it might be on par with my strength before leveling up," replied Tiandou who a moment later looked in the same direction.
"G ... That's them! I mean the one on the left. That's Gao Zhan,"
Tan Hao closed his eyes, he tried to control his body which was slowly starting to get affected by wine.
"How! Does Young Master know his strength?" tiandou asked curiously after Tan Hao opened his eyes.
"Fith ... How what! Whose power? Just now I removed the drunken effect of this wine," Tan Hao replied innocently after taking a slow breath.
Tiandou cursed foolishly inwardly, he had misjudged what Tan Hao was doing. Tiandou simply changed his sitting position to his back to Tan Hao with his stupid expression.
Meanwhile Elder Shuxan was having an argument with the three young swordsmen who were still teasing Lan Lihua and Liu Zey even after she rebuked.
"What's your problem! Stay away. These two girls are ours,"
"Calm, relax. I don't want any violence here. I'm just warning you guys ... ." Elder Shuxan ended her speech upon noticing the expression Lan Lihua was showing.
Lan Lihua glanced fiercely, as if her gaze contained a rage that was ready to explode.
