The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 79 - Leaving the Lotus Temple Sect
The sky was still so early but Xin Fai's entourage and the others were already preparing to leave the Lotus Temple sect, many people who delivered their departure with great joy one of them was the Tao Wei Priest.
The old man put a hopeful look at the representative of his sect, at least he wanted one of them to be the next Imperial Pillar.
Xin Fai himself was currently already considered as part of the Lotus Temple sect as well as a disciple there. So no wonder he was included in the Young Swordsman Tournament as a representative of the Lotus Temple sect.
Sometimes Tao Wei gives advice as well as some other supplies that they will need during the trip. Li Yong's friends gave farewells all the way to the sect gate.
A moment after the party had left the Lotus Temple sect, Li Yong led in front of them with a medium running speed on par with the Wind Steps considering that his disciples were still lacking in perfection in the science of lightening the body.
Unlike Xin Fai who was completely unperturbed by his running speed, he could compensate Li Yong so easily.
The experience during the Cursed Forest had taught Xin Fai that running speed was very important in a fight, especially if faced with a life or death situation.
Xin Fai did not want to repeat the same thing, with that thought also she changed her way of thinking. The first thing Xin Fai trained when free from sealing was his running speed. By practicing diligently for 3 months, he who had now managed to master the Lightning Steps.
Shen Xuemei also seemed to have no problem with it, currently Li Yong was running with Wind Steps. A very basic step in martial arts, even though the two students seemed to have no significant difficulties, but the story was different with Huang Kun.
The young man was still very amateurish in terms of speed, arguably his current weakness was speed. His training during the Lotus Temple had always rested on sword techniques, making it difficult to keep up with the footsteps of his friends.
Huang Kun began to curse himself for being negligent in training his body's lightening skills, Li Yong read the expression of one of his students and then lowered his running speed slowly.
The trip took about five hours, they rested for a while when they started to get tired. Li Yong stopped under a shady tree in front of which was a clear river, while his disciple was resting he intended to catch fish.
As he was about to plunge himself into the water, Xin Fai first spoke to him.
"Senior, maybe I can help you."
"No, Fai'er. You must be exhausted, rest first," Li Yong subtly refused. But after seeing Xin Fai not exhausted at all, Li Yong slightly corrected his words.
"Yes if you want to help, I don't mind."
Xin Fai immediately threw himself into the river water, in a short time he had caught many fish. Li Yong himself was stunned to see the number of catches the boy had. He who was older could only catch two to three fish while Xin Fai had already obtained six fish, not to mention that now in his hands there was still one more.
"Well, good catch Fai'er. How can you do that?" Li Yong went ashore following Xin Fai there. Xin Fai who was drying herself turned her head until a smile rose from her lips.
"Senior, I've caught fish like this many times on the way to the Lotus Temple."
"Ahaha, it seems like my experience in fishing is very amateurish." Li Yong laughed at himself while scratching his head that did not itch, after drying their bodies to make a fire and then burning the fish.
When finding an inn Li Yong immediately stopped there and asked his students to stay overnight because the weather was not supportive. The person who first agreed to it was Huang Kun who was tired of running. He would even believe if anyone said his legs at this time had gone off due to running for too long.
As he set foot in front of the door Xin Fai felt a faint murderous chill from within this inn, his gaze began to be suspicious. But it seemed that no one cared about it other than her and Li Yong either.
Unwilling to think any further Xin Fai directly entered, Li Yong immediately rented a room after that.
While waiting for Xin Fai to circulate a glance around him and find two suspicious people wearing familiar uniforms in his eyes, he was a little surprised when he remembered the clothes were very similar to the robe from the Five Leaves Basil.
"They... Why did it get here?" xin Fai muttered softly, for a moment he only realized the people around him were actually afraid of the two people and chose not to look for trouble with them.
Li Yong heard it, he looked towards Xin Fai's sharp gaze.
"Didn't they come from the Five Leaves Basil?"
Xin Fai nodded slowly.
"Ah, I heard that their group has been destroyed by the Blood Devil Man."
Li Yong's speech made Xin Fai interested, according to him the Five Leaves Basil had absolutely no problem with that Demon Blood Man.
"Didn't they both come from the black stream?"
"Haha, people from the black stream are just like wild beasts. They don't care about friends or opponents, as long as they can achieve their wishes they won't hesitate to kill each other."
Li Yong continued. "I heard that the Five Leaves Basil was after something called Mustika 7 Seasons, because the Blood Demon Man was also after it and suspected that they had it then these two groups fought each other."
"It was definitely the Blood Demon Man who won, considering their strength was immense. Did they manage to get that mustika?"
"From the news I heard they managed to get two mustikas at once. I don't know what their goal is, but I think it'll be bad if they manage to achieve it."
Xin Fai smiled faintly hearing that. With Mustika 7 Season they could have subdued all the power in the Shang Empire so easily.
"They must be stopped immediately, whatever their purpose is." Xin Fai said slowly, he guessed the two people in front of him were the rest of the Five Leaf Basil members who had managed to escape. Stupidly they still use the robe, making people recognize them.
Xin Fai would wait for the two to make a frenzy, with the strength of Li Yong and himself at the moment it was not impossible to subdue the two intermediate warriors. Li Yong had strength equivalent to a great swordsman whereas Xin Fai himself had already entered the tier of a stage 5 intermediate swordsman.
