The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 114 — Jade Wolf Sect
Lian Haocun could not feel how long time had passed, when he opened his eyes, only darkness was visible, just like when he closed his eyes.
Lian Haocun felt as if he was floating in the calm water on the surface but was extremely ferocious. The water felt like an angry roar towards Lian Haocun and intended to swallow him several times.
Although Lian Haocun faced a very confusing situation, his brain never stopped thinking to make theories about what really happened to him. A theory flashed in Lian Haocun's mind, ‘What does this have to do with sirens?’
But the theory was immediately dismissed by Lian Haocun, because of all the books he read and studied, no one said anything about this, he said, which means what should have happened to Lian Haocun, was not related to the siren.
Again Lian Haocun tried to move his limbs, unfortunately not even a finger budged at all, as if his body was nailed and tightly stuck to the water.
He did not know how long time passed outside, nor did he know what happened to him, which should have been very frightening if experienced by people who were at ease with him. But, this is Lian Haocun, whose mentality is very difficult to shake, he remains calm despite not knowing what happened, and focus ‘fight’ with water who want to intend to swallow it.
In that cold, gripping darkness, Lian Haocun could only hear her beating heart, a sign that she was still alive.
‘He waited for me..’ Inner Lian Haocun thought of his twin sister.
...****************...
It had already been two more and a half days since Chao Bence, Shui Zuo, Lian Huanran, Bai, had passed, Cheng and Long Yuan got to Vekado City and exactly two months had passed since Lian Haocun was unconscious. During those two days, Chao Bence, Shui Zuo and Long Yuan went to observe the business development of ‘HaoRan’ as well as solve some problems.
While Lian Huanran was with Bai and Cheng nearby, reading books on medicinal plants as well as diseases that attacked cultivators. Although medical experts have said that there are no abnormalities or oddities in Lian Haocun's body, Lian Huanran did not give up and look for the answer himself.
But three hours after Chao Bence and his group left to observe the business development of ‘HaoRan’ again, Lian Huanran who was reading the book was shocked by the sudden change of Lian Haocun's appearance again! But, unlike before, five seconds after Lian Haocun's appearance changed, her appearance returned to its original, blond haired state. Lian Huanran was very confused by this sudden occurrence.
But soon Lian Huanran's attention was diverted and a feeling of joy burst into her heart. Lian Huanran yelled, “Sister!! Finally Brother realized!”
Lian Haocun who had originally intended to sit on the edge of the bed, was pushed back by a hug from Lian Huanran and again lay on the bed.
Lian Haocun, “..”
Lian Huanran did not notice that her Brother was in a state of confusion, saying in an emotional tone, “Huh, I am very worried for Big Brother! Two months of it! Two months! How could Big Brother be unconscious for that long!?”
Lian Haocun gently stroked Lian Huanran's head to calm Lian Huanran's chaotic emotions. After Lian Huanran calmed down more, Lian Haocun asked, “What happened?”
Lian Huanran took off her tight hug and began to tell succinctly what had happened during the two months her brother was unconscious. Lian Haocun took important information from Lian Huanran's long story, then Lian Haocun said, “So, the only clue obtained from the Ruins of Gorgona is the Jade Wolf Sect? Can you give Brother the key you found?”
Lian Huanran stood up and wiped the watery tears that were in her eye sockets, then she took out the black key from her storage ring and handed it to her Brother. Lian Haocun observed it for a few seconds before returning it to Lian Huanran. Lian Huanran refused and asked her brother to keep it. Lian Haocun did not reject her and said, “So, what do you think about Big Brother's appearance changing suddenly?”
Lian Huanran replied, “I thought it might have something to do with the ancient race. I once asked Bence about this, but he himself did not know it, but Bence was very sure that Brother would be fine.”
Lian Huanran exclaimed ‘Oh’, then he asked, “So what will we do after this?”
Lian Haocun, “Actually not necessarily the perpetrator of the Thano Village case related to the purpose of the demon race. It could be that the case was unrelated, if this case was not related to the purpose of the demon race. Automatic, the Ruins of Gorgona also have nothing to do, as well as the instructions of the Ruins of Gorgona ‘Secte Wolves Jade'.”
Lian Huanran was silent and listened to the continuation of Lian Haocun's words.
Lian Haocun, “But there is no harm in us trying to investigate the Jade Wolf Sect. Plus Shui Zuo mentioned that in the Jade Wolf Sect there was one alchemist, you could learn alchemy from him. Has Chao Bence gotten any information regarding the Jade Wolf Sect?”
Lian Huanran shook his head, a sign he did not know.
Lian Haocun stood up and said, “Let's wait for them.”
Lian Huanran, “No, Big Brother must eat first ah! Is your body not hungry, not eating or drinking anything for two whole months?”
Lian Haocun said in an indifferent tone, “No need.”
Finally they argued for a few minutes, before Lian Haocun was forced to follow Lian Huanran's wishes. With Bai and Cheng, they went to look for a restaurant near the inn and ordered some food for two people. After spending less than fifteen minutes, they finished their meal and returned to the inn.
Chao Bence, Shui Zuo and Long Yuan who had already returned to the inn, looked at Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran who entered the room together.
Chao Bence said in an excited tone, “Oh! finally the master realized.”
Shui Zuo asked, “What do you feel when you wake up? Do you know why you were unconscious for two months?”
Lian Haocun briefly answered Shui Zuo's question, “No idea, I didn't feel anything upon waking."
Then without waiting for a response from Shui Zuo, Lian Haocun asked, "Chao Bence, what information did you get regarding the Jade Wolf Sect?”
Chao Bence who had already guessed the question, said, “The Sect of the Jade Wolf, one of the three top-tier sects in the Afer Continent and what a coincidence, is, currently this Sect was opening a registration for new disciples. This sect had many talented cultivators, one of whom was Guan Hong,.”.
Chao Bence mentioned some names that were unfamiliar to everyone in the room. Then Chao Bence went on to provide some additional information regarding the Jade Wolf Sect and gave a report regarding the business of ‘HaoRan’.
Chao Bence, “Business development ‘HaoRan’ is excellent even more than I anticipated. Some businesses from other fields also invite us to work together. How does the master want to respond to this?”
Lian Haocun, “Give me some reports and information regarding businesses that want to invite us to cooperate, I'll sort it out later. For now, get ready to travel to the Jade Wolf Sect tomorrow.”
