THE VALLEY OF HELL
Chapters 11. The Dong Huang Mission

Fan Tian continued to tell Dong Huang about his life journey until the two met in Miao village.

Although Fan Tian did not tell him fully about his training being taught by his two foster parents as well as the things he considered to be kept secret.

Hearing Fan Tian's story made Dong Huang feel very sympathetic and asked again.

"Keep what about the two people who helped you after you found your brother and family?"

"I will always visit them. But if my life could change and have a lot of money, I would invite them to live with me." Fan Tian replied.

"How can you make so much money if you don't have the slightest skill!?"

"I actually have a skill that I've learned from one of my family medicine books."

"So with that ability, I think I can make money even if it takes a long time."

"Are you able to treat every illness that everyone suffers from?" Ask Dong Huang again.

"Everything I'll try, because if I don't know what disease I'm suffering from, how can I cure it!?" Fan Tian replied.

"Well, if we see anyone who is sick, you must help immediately to heal, for I want to see how great your medical science is."

Fan Tian could only smile at Dong Huang's words and sip the tea that had been available in front of the two.

"Miss Dong, can I also ask you a question?" Fan Tian reopened the conversation.

"What do you want to ask?" Reply Dong Huang relaxed.

"Why are you far away from your sect and in this northern part of Zhong Country?" Ask Fan Tian.

Dong Huang momentarily fell silent and finally told what he was going through to answer Fan Tian's question.

"Initially I came together with one of the elders from my sect to carry out a mission."

"And our mission is to find a disciple of the sect who has defected."

"According to the information, he was in this northern region. But when we found the disciple, it turned out that he was taken by a man who was none other than his father and also was the lover of the elder who went with me."

"The elder told me to go back to report that we couldn't find the student."

"Not only that, the elder also told me to say that he was killed while fighting the group that came from the Valley of Hell." Cover Dong Huang with a face that feels a little burdened.

"That means that the deserter you are looking for is the daughter of that elder?" Ask Fan Tian.

"Really! It turns out that she was the daughter of the elder that was the result of her relationship with her lover."

"So, how could it not be known to the disciples as well as the higher-ups of your sect?"

"According to his confession, while he was on a mission given by the sect, he met and established a relationship with the man until giving birth to his daughter.

"Fearing to be known by the sect head, he finally took his daughter to the sect and admitted that she had been saved and that both of his parents had been killed by a band of robbers."

"And the secret remains awake until now only you and I know.

Are you going to pass on to your sect master that message!?" Fan Tian asked to be sure.

Dong Huang simply nodded his head answering Fan Tian's question.

"Why do you want to do that? Doesn't your actions also seem to have broken the rules of your sect?" Ask Fan Tian again.

"That's right! But I also don't want to ruin their happiness!" Dong Huang replied with a little emphasis.

Fan Tian could only fall silent after hearing the reason given by Dong Huang.

After a moment of silence, Fan Tian took the initiative to ask again.

"Miss Dong, aren't you happy with what you've been through all this time?"

"Who says I don't feel happy with what I've been doing all this time? I feel so happy to have people who always love me!" Answer Dong Huang.

"Aren't you intending to form a family just like the elder did?" Ask Fan Tian again.

"No! I will not break the sect rules just because to form a family like that!" Dong Huang replied firmly.

Hearing Dong Huang's tone of voice, even Fan Tian did not want to continue with his intention to ask again.

The two finally rested and missed the rest of the night in silence and without another word being heard.

Fan Tian could not fall asleep despite having closed his eyes for a while. Likewise with Dong Huang who was not sleeping in bed at that time.

The woman simply sat down and began to think about the question that Fan Tian had thrown at her while recalling the life that the elder had shown.

When the morning sun was just about to shine a light on the earth, Dong Huang immediately woke up Fan Tian to have the two of them continue their journey.

Fan Tian who was not asleep immediately got up from the bed and asked.

"What's Miss Dong?"

"We must continue our journey before the group can find our whereabouts again." Answer Dong Huang.

"All right, let's get ready to go." Fan Tian said and immediately went to prepare himself for the trip.

After the two of them were ready, the two of them immediately left the inn.

"Miss Dong, wouldn't it be better to travel on horseback?" Ask Fan Tian.

"You're saying that, too.let's find a place to buy two horses." Take Dong Huang while looking for the place he was referring to.

Moments later, the two finally found a place that sold horses.

"Sir, how much is that horse worth?" Dong Huang asked while pointing at a horse.

"Sir, this horse is worth ten gold pieces." Answer the horse owner.

"Ten pieces of gold? I can't seem to pay two horses, because I don't have enough money." Think Dong Huang.

"Miss Dong, why? Is your money not enough to pay for two horses?" Ask Fan Tian.

Shamefully Dong Huang nodded his head to answer Fan Tian's question.

"Is your money enough to buy a horse?" Ask Fan Tian again.

Dong Huang nodded his head to answer the question.

"If so, Miss Dong Huang just buy a horse to be ridden."

"But what about you?" Ask Dong Huang.

"Let me alone pay for the horse that will be my mount." Fan Tian replied.

He immediately reached into his pocket and a moment later ten pieces of gold were now in his grasp.

"Sir, I paid the horse for me." Fan Tian said as he handed over his ten gold pieces.

The horse owner immediately took out ten gold pieces belonging to Fan Tian and Dong Huang and immediately brought along the two horses they wanted.

The two soon continued their journey on horseback.

The two are now being stalked by a group that previously wanted to capture them.

After already being five miles outside of Guangfu city and starting to enter the bamboo forest, a net instantly fell down from above them.

Dong Huang was too late to realize that, so he immediately fell from the horse he was riding and was trapped in the net.

While Fan Tian did not experience that, because for the warriors who hunted them, he was not a serious obstacle.

"Miss Dong!" Shouted Fan Tian when he saw Dong Huang was already unconscious and carried by the group.

"Ha..ha..ha...ha...ha...ha....do you think you can escape my hand?"

The man who was their leader felt that he had already won from Fan Tian, for having captured Dong Huang.

Fan Tian immediately tethered his horse and then stepped closer to the leader.

"Hurry and release him! Otherwise, I won't let you all go either." Said Fan Tian with a slight threat.

"It turns out that only a few hours did not meet, your attitude immediately changed drastically...did you swallow food wrong last night?" Reply the leader responded to Fan Tian's remark.

The young warrior was now surrounded by ten warriors holding each weapon in their hands.

While the leader was seen standing arrogantly in front of Fan Tian.

"Hurry up, before I kill you all...!" Fan Tian returned to pose a threat.

"Hey boy! If you want to kill us, just do it, I'm also curious to see how you kill."

The leader of the group further provoked Fan Tian to carry out his threat.

"Sir, hand him over to me. I'll give you all the valuables I have."

Fan Tian's attitude again changed and looked pleading like a fool while trying to reach into his pocket.

"Ha.ha..ha..ha...dad idiot, he thought with the trick he used could fool us all."

They laughed at Fan Tian's change in attitude and underestimated him even more.

But a few seconds later, their bodies could not be moved anymore and could not make any sound.

"Bagamana? Are you still curious about the way I'm going to kill you?"

"All right! Right now I have to kill you first, so that I can ease your psychological pressure when I do it to others."

Fan Tian immediately took out the sword belonging to one of them and started grabbing a finger of the leader's hand.

Just as Fan Tian had just wanted to cut off one of his fingers, suddenly the liquid flowed profusely and soaked his feet.

"Ha.ha.ha.ha..ha..see your leader, at first it looks very fierce, it is still wetting as well."

Fan Tian mocked the leader then carried Dong Huang's body and the two together rode Fan Tian's horse.
