Towards Eternity
Ch 548's. Spied
Inside a restaurant located not far from the inn that the Weng Lou group had rented, the Jade Bamboo Sect group decided to stay here while Weng Lou quietly followed them.
Those people no one was aware of his presence, even as he chose to sit around two tables from their place. Disguising as well as eliminating his presence was a skill that Weng Lou had trained in the Northern Heavens Sect. When he still had Qi, he was able to suppress his Qi to the point of being undetectable by Martial Practitioners in the 5th stage of Soul Unification realm and below. He was also able to make his soul power not felt by his opponent.
However, after having no Qi, Weng Lou could dissipate his presence at a much higher level. He would not be able to be detected by his opponent through the Qi or Profound Power examination. The only way for him to be discovered is by detection through smell or soul searching.
Sitting at one of the tables, Weng Lou calmly listened to the group talk of the Jade Bamboo Sect. Folding both of his hands in front of his chest, Weng Lou grinned as he listened to the complaints of the young man who had previously searched for things with him regarding himself as well as his 'uncle'.
"Senior, wouldn't it be nice if we just let those people go? Wanna put where our faces are if anyone from the other two sects knows this?! They will laugh at us for letting go of those who dare to vilify us in public!" The young man spoke to the woman who was summoned as Senior Nuan.
Nuan only silently listened to the complaints from the young man before then looked at him with a cold gaze and made the young man speechless in his seat.
"You want me to do what? Attacking those who don't even attack us? We are wrong for disturbing them. They did nothing wrong, so forget it. And also, you should be thanking me for getting you out of there alive" Nuan said with a serious face.
She drank her green tea gracefully and began to rethink the eye gaze that Weng Lou had given her. That gaze, he felt like he was being stared at by a human-shaped beast that was ready to tear him apart whenever he wanted. That feeling could not be completely lost from his heart, he continued to feel uneasy and thought about what if Weng Lou did not let them off at all and would give vengeance to all of them.
Yet no one was aware of this other than Nuan, all the members of the Jade Bamboo Sect who were there looked at him in surprise while listening to the explanation he gave the young man. He spoke as if the young man could die if not taken away from that place.
"What does he mean, Senior? You're saying someone's gonna kill me? Wh who? Is that person from the Demon Worshiping Sect that we killed a few days ago?" The young man looked curious. He had previously not felt any killing naps at all, so felt quite surprised by these words of his senior.
But the answer from his senior was just the opposite, "No, but the child who spoke to you before him will kill you. If you had just carried out your attack earlier and I hadn't stopped, I could have guaranteed you would have died on the spot immediately because of that child."
"What?! He's not even a Martial Practitioner! He did not even have the slightest bit of Inner Energy on him! How could he kill me who had been at this 6th level Foundation Base? I've even been able to conduct pure energy attacks remotely!"
Of course the young man did not believe what he said, even everyone who was there said the same thing, but Nuan did not give his explanation and chose to be quiet and enjoy his food. Seeing that, the others did not continue the matter any further and also began to eat their food.
"Hmmm. Yes, anyone would have a feeling of fear when looking into the eyes of someone who had taken hundreds of lives. But this sect is quite strange, I heard that they only accept tier 3 Foundation Martial Practitioners who are not yet 12 years old, almost the same as the Weng Main Family in White Star City. But the strength of these people is weak if according to the information I got from the headquarters on Border Island.
Supposedly if they were to leave in groups like this, there should be members who are in the Soul Cleansing realm as their guardians, but from what I see, there should be members who are in the Soul Cleansing realm as their guards, the strongest power was only at the foundation base of the early 12th level, that is, the woman who was summoned as Senior Nuan.
They must have been secretly protected. From these clothes that Senior Nuan wore, he should be a valuable core member of the Jade Bamboo Sect. It should be that their guards are at stage 3 or 4 then I will continue to observe them silently before deciding on my next move."
Weng Lou immediately got up from his place and threw a gold coin at the servant near his desk before stepping out.
"Ah, Teacher! I searched all over the inn but didn't find you, where did Master come from?" Du Zhe immediately greeted Weng Lou as soon as he returned to the inn.
It seemed Du Zhe was still busy having breakfast at his place before ordering food. Looks like the other crew members used it so as not to bother looking for a place.
Weng Lou patted Du Zhe on the head and said that he had just taken a walk, then told Du Zhe to go back to eating while he had returned to his room. However, someone was already standing waiting for him at the door of his room and immediately walked up to him as soon as he saw him.
"This is the path you want. I've already signaled all the dangers that need to be avoided as well as some special paths in case something happens on your journey." The person waiting for him was the leader of the pirate group that Weng Lou had met yesterday.
He handed over a map that involved a new one to Weng Lou before then immediately walking away as soon as possible. The frightened face of the man could not be hidden from Weng Lou's eyes. Weng Lou knew that this man must have gone to check their ship yesterday and must have seen the figure of the Black Ape Fighter on that ship. But Weng Lou did not pay attention to that, he deliberately let those people because he wanted them to know the limits they could do to their group.
*tap....* The door was closed, and Weng Lou walked up to a table and placed the map he had just brought on the table, then opened it.
Some very detailed images could be seen from the map once Weng Lou opened it. There are several images that have an explanation of the name of the place and some lines that are the path that can be taken on the map. This map is arguably a fairly complete map and Weng Lou must admit that the work done by the man who was previously very satisfying.
"Let's see....The Jade Bamboo Sect....Bamboo Jade... ah, here it is! Hmm.so the location is indeed very remote and hidden like the information I get. But there is a special line here that can arrive in two days from this port, but this is quite suspicious. A special path will usually not be passed easily, there must be some kind of safety here.
As for the main line, I have to rotate far enough if by land and can only arrive in one week of travel. Hmmm.it seems like I should follow the group. For Du Zhe." Weng Lou then began to mark some paths that had the possibility of being a trap or having danger passed by the man who gave this map to Weng Lou.
Time passed, and it came in the afternoon.
The atmosphere of the port as it turned quiet, and there were only a few people who were in effect hauling goods. Weng Lou was observing the movement of the Jade Bamboo Sect group from the top of a building that was in front of the inn occupied by the group while sitting down casually.
Due to the affairs of monitoring this group, Weng Lou had given some direction to his ship crew as well as to Du Zhe.
The crew members who came with him from the Huwa Islands joined because they wanted to do their adventure on Fenshu Island. But because of the terrible journey they went through, making their family feelings began to intertwine even though only a few together.
As a result, half of them chose to stay and continue to join Weng Lou, while the rest kept their original plans to start their own adventures. Weng Lou did not reject the choice of those who chose to stay, because he actually wanted to offer them the same since he planned to go to the Jade Bamboo Sect.
