Mustika Naga's
Towards the Top of Promise

The other two bandit leaders had already raised the sword in front of his chest, they were preparing to slash at Long Guan simultaneously.

Long Guan smiled faintly, he did not take out a sword like his opponent. He still stood quietly. Long Guan shook his head slowly before a shadow of himself disappeared, he appeared before one of the leaders. Quickly he ended it, a violent punch hitting the man's chest.

“Bugh”

His body bounced five to six meters, then fell to the ground.

“Brak”

There was a sound of his body hitting part of one of the bandit headquarters buildings. It is not known whether he was still alive or dead, from a distance the man's body seemed to be convulsing and groaning in pain. After one shrill groan, his voice disappeared in silence.

The other two leaders turned into panic, the man who had just been beaten up was the Head of the Black Cockroach Bandit group. The two of them were just his representatives who had lower strength, how could they continue this fight.

In an instant dazed by the act of wanting to escape, the two men looked at each other with sly smiles. Long Guan was not a fool, such cheap tricks he understood very well.

Behind him, Gong Fei grew increasingly clueless with Long Guan's strength. In the depths of his heart appeared admiration, the figure of a young man who was kind-hearted and not arrogant yet possessed a strength that even he himself was not comparable to. In that case Gong Fei was a little embarrassed, he was a little worried about Long Guan.

The two vice-leaders of the Black Cockroach Bandit began to expend their Qi energy onto the sword they were holding, they intended to make a diversion attack then ran as fast as possible leaving the fighting arena.

Long Guan smiled cynically, “You want to run?” It's not that easy..

With a thousand steps Long Guan's shadow arrived before the two of them, yet had time for their Qi energy to be channeled two fist pieces each darted to the foreheads of the two of them.

“Boom”

“Boom”

The two heads of the Third Universe realm swordsmen were crushed like a watermelon broke apart.

“Very terrible!” inner Gong Fei.

After making sure all the members of the Black Cockroach Bandit were killed, with one flick of the building that had been used as the headquarters of the Black Cockroach Bandit destroyed in the fire.

Gong Fei gulped, he was surprised by the power that Long Guan had just unleashed.

“Since when did the Star Sword Sect have such outstanding disciples like this?” gong Fei muttered increasingly in astonishment.

At first he was a little disappointed with the Star Sword Sect who only sent a disciple with the power of the Second Universe. But now his assessment of Long Guan exceeded all his perceptions.

Gong Fei thought about how low an ability he had in front of Long Guan. His spirit to re-hone his martial skills became resurrected.

Long Guan did not know what Gong Fei was thinking, he was just acting as he should. Annihilating criminals like the Black Cockroach Bandit was already an obligation as a cultivator. Even when he was in the mortal world, he always taught this to his Sectional disciples.

Gong Fei noticed Long Guan's flat expression.

“It seems he did not consider the fight just now, even he seemed to already know the result” he said in his heart.

“Gong Fei, there is something I want to ask you” Long Guan said suddenly

“What is it?”

“Do you know of the ancient tomb spoken of by the residents of Songshan Village?” long Guan asked quite seriously.

Gong Fei slightly shuddered at the sight like that, he still imagined the death of the three leaders of the bandits.

“Of course I know, just an hour from here” replied Gong Fei while pointing to the Peak of Mount Song.

“It was Promise Peak, was the main peak of Song Mountain. The peak is also a sacred region guarded by the ancestors of our Village”, Gong Fei explained.

“Can I get there?” long Guan asked a little unsavory.

“Of course you can, you have contributed to our Village, later I will give an explanation to my father” Gong Fei said casually.

Then the two of them conversed, Gong Fei gave some clues regarding the location of the ancient tomb.

The two then decided to part ways, before parting ways with Gong Fei, Long Guan did not forget to leave a greeting to Grand Elder Han Zao. Long Guan also asked Gong Fei to keep a secret about his whereabouts.

It was still day, Long Guan continued his journey towards the ancient tomb that was once crowded with talk. The existence of not many people who approach, the existence of the Black Cockroach Bandit becomes a frightening specter for residents to cross the path of the Promise Peak.

According to Gong Fei, the distance to the Promise Peak was not far, only about an hour from his current position. Moreover, in plain sight Long Guan could see the height of the highest peak of Mount Song.

A short while later, Long Guan was in front of a Cave that was meant by Gong Fei. At this moment, the power of attraction from within him grew even greater. Long Guan was more and more convinced that in this Cave there was the same Dragon Mustika. There was a strange feeling lingering within Long Guan. This strange feeling he had once felt while in the mortal world when he was in the Forbidden Land. He circulated his spiritual perception, feeling neither the danger from the beasts nor the remains of the Black Cockroach Bandit.

As a formation expert, Long Guan could see the lips of this Cave tied up and surrounded by formations. After looking closely at it Long Guan was able to identify that the formation was in stark contrast to the Protective Array and Illusion Array. These two types of Arrays were exactly the same as those in the Eternal Mist Forest, only that its strength was stronger.

Long Guan believed that the array consisting of this elaborate rune model was made by a formation master. Long Guan tried to focus on finding the core of the formation, after he stomped his feet on a rock with a special pattern, the vibrations were strong enough to make the sound of the rock's shifting crackle. Long Guan could watch as some of the stone arrays began to move, the dim light from some natural stones started to light up.

Long Guan was sure this Cave was not simple then he stepped into the Cave, inside it was a room that was quite spacious and he felt abundant Qi energy. He wanted to absorb it, but he wanted to confirm the contents of the room.

Long Guan's footsteps came to a halt, in front of him was a corpse that was stretched stiff. The shape is still intact does not rot, although it looks long ago. Long guan hesitated a little, but the turmoil in her soul grew even greater.

Inside this room he felt a familiar aura growing thicker. After a moment of calming his feelings, Long Guan continued his steps toward the corpse.

“Sorry if this junior has disturbed the calm of master swordsar” Long Guan said while bowing.

After doing the tribute, he ventured to open a chest with a length of about one and a half meters. He found a long sword, a space ring and a small box. Beside him was a black scroll.

Long Guan read the scroll, he wanted to know what secret was stored in this Cave.

“When this box opens, then my task will be done. Accept this legacy, I have waited long enough for your arrival.”.

The inscription on the scroll is quite long, outlining the description of a Mustika Dragon, as well as other clues to the whereabouts of the Mustika Dragon scattered across the five sacred mountains of the spiritual realm.

Long Guan was very pleased with this hint, he with a beaming gaze stared at the corpse in front of him. According to records of the corpse named Dun Ming, he was a swordsman who lived thousands of years ago. In his heyday he was referred to as the Legend of the Sword of Death. Every enemy he fought must have died under his sword, the sword that was now beside him.
