Towards Eternity
Ch 547's. The Jade Bamboo Sect Group
Weng Lou did not take long to finish clearing the Border Island guards. With the monstrous strength he possessed, all the soldiers in the base could not provide any meaningful resistance to him.
Just when he finished beating the leader of the soldiers, the Black Ape Fighter came to it and told him that he had finished taking care of the guards in the guard tower near the beach. He and Weng Lou did split the task beforehand, Weng Lou took care of the guards here while the Black Ape Fighters took care of the guards that were still left in the guard tower.
After they finished, they began to gather information from the towers and headquarters of these Border Island guard troops. It only took a few hours for them to finish gathering what they needed, and they left the Border Island which they had made into a ravage.
The beachfront of Fenshu Island.
The group ship Weng Lou was sailing slowly towards a fairly dense mangrove forest. They got into a lane large enough for their ships to enter and sailed at minimum speed. With such speed, Weng Lou could easily avoid the mangrove trees.
Sometimes, some long-tailed monkeys can be seen hanging from one tree to another near their ships while observing if there is anything they can do to disturb Weng Lou's group.
On top of the roof of the control room, Du Zhe sat quietly with the Black Ape Fighters while busy paying attention to their surroundings.
"Black Ape Lord, is your residence like this? With your family, you live in the woods and hang together?" du Zhe asked with a curious face.
"Gp-! Good question Du Zhe, Black Ape must have been very happy to have climbed the trees together with his friends," Weng Lou chuckled loosely from within the control room.
The Black Ape Fighter looked at Du Zhe with a probing gaze but he could only find a sinless and curious face. He could only sigh deeply and caress slowly with Du Zhe's head.
"Of course not. My family and I would rather spend some time relaxing and enjoying the day. But due to some interference from the 'Wicked Martial Practitioners', the',
we have to fight to survive every day." The reply from the Black Ape Fighter made Weng Lou's laughter stop while Du Zhe nodded his head in a sign of understanding the meaning of the Black Ape Fighter's words.
Their steamer continued to enter the forest, until they finally reached their destination, a very remote port and covered by dense mangrove trees.
When they entered the port territory, a few pairs of eyes immediately stared at them from the harbor. Visible faces of hostility as well as curious at their gazes when they saw the ship group Weng Lou. Not because of anything, a ship without a sail is something you won't see anywhere in the ocean, the Weng Lou steamship is the first and only ship at the moment so obviously they are curious.
*Shhh.....* The ship soon reached the port and was immediately dismissed by a group of men who had fierce faces and were filled with wounds once they were about to get off the ship.
"Who are y'all? How do you know this harbor?" asked a man wearing an iron claw in his hand. He looked seriously at the initial face of the new Weng Lou ship about to take down the board from the ship.
Weng Lou immediately walked to the front of the crew and looked at the group of men with a small smile. From the information obtained by him on Border Island, this island is one of the hidden ports used by pirates and other criminals to get in and out of Fenshu Island.
The soldiers on Border Island were planning to attack and facilitate this port, but their leader immediately stopped their actions all of it because this port had uses unknown to ordinary soldiers.
From the outside, maybe this harbor is like a nest of evil that needs to be destroyed, but actually this place has a useful value that Emperor Chizi Ryuan himself admitted so as to get special protection by the officials who served in the border waters.
Since Weng Lou had cleared all the Border Island guards, he had of course already obtained information on this and in fact this information was not difficult to obtain by him. There was a large paper cupboard that was evidence of illegal arms sales from this port with people on Border Island, which must have been done by an official or even the leader of the Border Island guard force.
"We? Hahaha.we were introduced by Old Man Black Beo about this place. We need a place to rest and also some special paths to enter Governor Zhonglie's territory" Weng Lou said as he threw a small bag of gold coins.
Hearing the name of Old Man Black Beo from Weng Lou's mouth made the group slightly uneasy. One of the men caught the bag and checked its contents, he saw a gold coin that he recognized as the highest currency used in the Ryuan Empire. He immediately put the bag in his shirt. He nodded to Weng Lou and immediately allowed his crew to take down the board and they got off the ship.
The group then took the crew along with Weng Lou and Du Zhe to an inn at the port. This inn is the best inn here, and it also has a restaurant downstairs so that Weng Lou and the others can eat at the same place.
"If there's nothing you need, we'll go. The path you asked for we will bring tomorrow morning here," said the group's leader who was the man who caught the money bag given by Weng Lou before.
Weng Lou let them go while he immediately reserved a room for everyone who was with him and went to rest.
Everyone got their own room, even Du Zhe, so Weng Lou had a quiet time in his room. Fortunately the Black Ape Fighter was willing to stay inside the ship after Weng Lou promised him some things, otherwise he would be troubled to bring him here.
"Well, the most important thing is how I can have my dantian back, or at least how I can use my soul power. I could feel that my soul power was still stored somewhere inside my body but I could not take it out or control it at all. In order to create a new Dantian, I have never heard of it at all before, but supposedly using soul power without a Dantian should still be possible because soul power is directly connected to the soul itself."
Weng Lou dissolved in his thoughts. The journey from the Huwa Islands to here passed through the Dead Sea, making himself even more aware that without Qi or Soul Power, he would be very hard-pressed to do something. The sea savage beasts he fought on his way proved that without both he could only make a few simple attacks that were not too powerful to the sea savage beasts.
The Sea Vast Beast naturally had a large and powerful body that was a natural enemy of melee combatants like Weng Lou who was in his weakest state right now. Weapon-using attacks or elemental change attacks are the best option against them as they are not limited to their large body size.
After a few hours, Weng Lou did not manage to find out anything from his thoughts and chose to sleep. Because of the fatigue he had been piling up all this time, he fell asleep quickly and fell asleep.
Weng Lou did not think too much of them, he immediately ordered food and ate quietly in the corner by himself.
While he was enjoying his meal, Weng Lou could see the arrival and departure of some people in that place. It seems like criminals and ordinary people are still the same human beings. They start their activities in the morning just like ordinary people.
Over time, the place started to get crowded until no more empty tables could be filled.
Weng Lou was busy listening to the talk of some pirates sitting next to his desk when a group of people came over to him and seemed to have bad intentions for him. The group has the same outfit which means that they are from one organization.
However, Weng Lou pretended to be unaware of their arrival and chose to remain sitting quietly in his place while continuing to enjoy the cake at his desk that he had ordered after his breakfast meal was finished.
"Hey, little boy! Get out of here, this is our table. We've been ordering it for a while, but you've been occupying it!" The early twenty-year-old who was one part of this group walked up to Weng Lou and slowly kicked the chair he was sitting on.
It should have been a little jolted if it was occupied by someone else, but when Weng Lou was sitting on it, the chair did not move in the slightest and instead the young man's legs that seemed to be trembling slightly as the impact of the kick made by him instead returned to him.
But that was enough for Weng Lou, he turned his head and looked at the young man who spoke to him and a slightly puzzled look.
"Hm? Did ya? But my uncle and I have been sitting here since the restaurant just opened. When did you guys order it? Before it opens?" weng Lou asked with a curious eye.
Even so, his tone sounded clear that he was not at all fooled by the young man's words and instead made the young man sound like a storyteller. The young man's face became angry at Weng Lou's words and he immediately held Weng Lou's shoulder tightly.
"Listen, I still speak well with you because I don't want to cause a commotion here. Get out of here soon, and I'll forget your words..." A faint smile was seen on Weng Lou's face as the young man, he replied with a defiant look, "Hmm? But my uncle has come here, you can tell him that."
One of the crew members of the ship Weng Lou was seen coming towards Weng Lou with a look of astonishment as he looked at the figure of the young man with him as well as the group he was with.
He was a man in his thirties with a slightly stocky body and was a peak Level 4 Foundation Martial Practitioner who could use his inner strength at a certain limit. With her wind-elemented dantian, she was perfectly suited to ascertain the weather when they were on their way on the ship, this was the reason she was chosen by Weng Lou.
The young man who was together with Weng Lou turned his head and looked at the figure of the man and raised next to his eyebrows.
"Only a Level 4 Foundation Martial Practitioner? Hah, he will even directly give this place to us!" he said arrogantly and immediately stepped forward in front of the man and stopped his steps.
"Hey, me and my group want to sit in your place and your nephew, do you mind going?"
Compared to asking, the young man's words were more like an order to the man. The man looked at this young man in front of him from top to bottom, then turned to Weng Lou who was sitting sweetly in the corner of the room and smiled at him.
The young man called Weng Lou as his nephew, did he not hear wrong? He clearly knew how terrifying Weng Lou was to be able to fight alone against hundreds of Martial Practitioners at once. The smile given by him was certainly hinting that if he dared to say 'yes' to this young man, then he would be the one to die.
He gulped his saliva, the aura of the young man in front of him had strength at the intermediate 6th level Foundation, and was about to reach the pinnacle, the aura of the youth in front of him had strength at the intermediate 6th level of the foundation, but compared to Weng Lou he was just like a small ant that could be exterminated at any time by Weng Lou.
After taking a deep breath, the man looked at the young man and spoke to him, "Sorry, but my niece and I are here first and we want to enjoy the food in this place. Please find somewhere else and don't bother us anymore."
He immediately stepped past the young man and was about to sit down with Weng Lou, but his hand was immediately caught by the young man and showed his ugly face and clearly he was already very angry.
"You! Let me teach you a lesson"
"Stop that, let's just go find another restaurant." A woman among the group who came with the young man spoke of cutting the young man. He wore a large hat that had a hood to cover his entire face and his clothes looked slightly different to the people he was with.
"But, Senior Nuan, he's been brash to us! Our Jade Bamboo Sect has never tolerated people who do not point their respects at us, let alone at you, Senior!" The young man tried to change the thought of this woman called Senior Nuan.
But the woman actually looked at Weng Lou who was still smiling on her seat with an unpleasant feeling that stuck her heart.
"We'll get out of here, if you still want to argue, then prepare yourself to take the punishment!" he said, who turned around and went out of there. The young man clenched his hands hard and looked at the man who became 'uncle' Weng Lou with eyes full of anger.
"Look, if I meet you outside, then I will definitely finish you off!" After saying that, he stepped away in a hurry while Weng Lou only chuckled at his departure.
"The Jade Bamboo Sect? Hmmmm it should be one of the 3 great sects that exist in the Ryuan Empire. They should have almost the same strength as the Northern Heavens Sect, it seems like I immediately found my destination on this island. Let's hope, do they have something useful enough to help with my soul power problem."
