Towards Eternity
Ch 359's. Weng Baohu Zhe
Weng Baohu Zhe, was the outer elder of the Weng Ancestral Family who had the role of being the overseer of the disciples in the Weng Ancestral Family.
His task was to report every development and obstacle that each disciple faced to the Elder who had higher authority than him.
Although he was only at the realm of Soul Unification stage 2, he was, but the level of practice of his was arguably quite high because the average of an Elder who did not have too much powerful influence within the Weng Ancestral Family only had strength in the realm of Soul Unification stage 1.
A few weeks ago, he was ordered to become the bodyguard of the 10 most talented disciples who were educated by the Weng Ancestral Family.
At first he did not want to do this task at all because he thought this task given to him would only make his practice hampered, because he thought it would only be hindered, his fellow elders of the same age would definitely be able to catch up with them if he was absent from his regular training.
But after being told that he would be given access to the Soul Purifying Pool of the Weng Ancestral Family for one hour after the task of being his bodyguard was completed, Weng Baohu Zhe accepted the task with pleasure.
The Soul Refining Pool was a solemn pond capable of helping the person soaking in it to purify his soul further, and also helping to unite his soul and body at an incredible speed.
He believes, in one hour just soaking in this pool, then the level of his practice will rise with a speed that is far above his expectations.
And that was how he finally set out along with the 10 most kind and talented disciples that the Weng Ancestral Family possessed headed to Hundan City to take part in the Free Martial Tournament. He didn't really know what a Free Martial Tournament was, but it definitely had to be a very large tournament as it was able to attract the attention of all the Martial Practitioner Masters present in Black Sand Island.
This morning, after a journey of tens of minutes, the group arrived in Liming City, which is a resort city used by travelers or traveling merchants.
But instead of seeing a magnificent and crowded city, they actually found a city that had been destroyed overtime which according to the story of one of the residents there, they found, the city has been ravaged by a giant, four-legged monster capable of shooting earth thorns from its body.
Why would he know that the culprit was an Earth Dragon? That was because there was only one living creature that had a large body and was able to shoot out the earth thorns that killed almost half of all the residents in this Liming City.
Walking further into the city, he could see all the residents living in this city were busy to repair their homes and buildings.
As he was busy looking around, without him noticing, a nearby building dropped a stone about the size of an adult body that pointed right at his head.
One of the residents who saw it exclaimed and warned Weng Baohu Zhe of the stone.
"Hm?" his eyebrows shot up listening to the warning.
He looked up and found the stone meant by the man was only a few feet away from him.
But he did not panic in the slightest, he calmly raised his right hand.
Pack up!!!
The stone shattered into pieces as soon as it smashed into his right hand.
Weng Baohu Zhe lowered his hand back and cleared his body of the dust stuck to the shattered rock.
"Hey sir? You okay?" asked a woman who had previously given him a warning of the stone.
Staring at the woman for a moment, Weng Baohu Zhe nodded, "I'm fine, thank you for the warning."
Even though he was in the realm of Soul Unification, it did not mean that he would be fine if the boulder had hit his head. That's why he thanked the woman.
"May I ask? Where was the appearance of the giant monster that destroyed this city two days ago?" weng Baohu Zhe asked the woman.
Weng Baohu Zhe nodded hearing that and thanked him. He resumed his journey and reached the city center within seconds of running at a fairly fast pace.
He halted his steps right in front of the giant hole with a diameter reaching fifty meters with a depth of nearly one hundred meters.
His breath was stifled staring at the hole, he could feel the Qi containing the sealing element on the inside of the hole.
"This...is it possible that the Earth Dragon that attacked this city was the Earth Dragon that had been sealed before? But according to the residents' explanation, they don't seem to know about this...."
Feeling that the information he got was incomplete, Weng Baohu Zhe decided to go down the hole.
Srtttt
He slid down and reached the bottom of the hole and noticed that the deepest part of the hole had a slight shape but also had a much denser structure than the existing hole wall on the outside.
When he wanted to check, suddenly his gaze was fixed on a size emblem that surprised him greatly.
It was the emblem of the Weng Family!
How can inside this hole have the symbol of the Weng Family?
Weng Baohu Zhe never thought about this again, and chose to pay further attention to the inside of the hole, and found the symbol of the Weng Family there is not only one, but also one, but almost all the basic walls of the hole are filled with carvings of the Weng Family emblem.
Seeing all that, Weng Baohu Zhe was left speechless. He took out a paper that looked very old from inside his storage room and wrote down a few sentences in it and then set it on fire.
After doing that, he turned his head towards the carving of the Weng Family's largest emblem from the others and decided to go up and return to the city gate where Weng Wan and the others were waiting for him.
"Chairman, you're back." Weng Wan spoke while bowing respectfully to him.
"Well, I have found the reason why this Liming City could be destroyed" said Weng Baohu Zhe.
Weng Wan and the others seemed interested in hearing that and asked him what caused this destruction.
"This was all caused by an Earth Dragon being detached from its seal which was right in the middle of the city. The Earth Dragon went berserk and destroyed the surrounding buildings. According to the explanation of the residents, this Land Dragon had killed almost half of the population in this city."
All of them who heard the explanation from Weng Baohu Zhe fell silent and looked at him with great surprise.
They knew what a Land Dragon was and they knew how dangerous they were.
"Then teacher, where is the Earth Dragon now?" ask one of the students who was near Weng Wan.
"I don't know, but from what I heard there was a god who killed him by blowing up the Earth Dragon outside the city."
After a few minutes of talking about this Land Dragon, Weng Baohu Zhe also invited the 10 disciples he escorted to continue their journey to Hundan City, in the Central Region.
