Towards Eternity
Ch 625's. Mysterious Creature (I)
The two days given by Lin Nushen was extremely short. Therefore Weng Lou and Weng Ying Luan did not waste the time they had and immediately prepared whatever they needed to bring along, as well as giving some direction to Du Zhe and the others to wait for them to return.
Du Zhe was at an important point in his training. The results he would get would not be maximal if it stopped suddenly.
So, uh, Weng Lou went to look for their ship and brought the Black Ape Fighter to stay in the palace of the Lin Family Residence and gave some direction to him regarding what exercises Du Zhe should do after him successfully complete the hammer lifting exercise during the time it takes to take a hundred breaths.
If Weng Lou's calculations don't miss, Weng Lou should be able to finish it within the next week.
Black Ape Brawlers ask what Weng Lou's plans are, but only get a mysterious smile in response.
"You'll know if we come back" he said.
After two days, Weng Lou and Weng Ying Luan finally came back to the Lin Family Residence Castle. Lin Nushen had been waiting for the two of them, as well as the eleven Soul Sovereigns who were always on guard behind him.
He stared at Weng Lou and Weng Ying Luan alternately for a few moments. He could feel something different from the two, but did not know what it was. The only thing he could confirm was, both of them had grown stronger compared to two days ago.
Whether what kind of method was used by them in order to become stronger in such a way in just two days, Lin Nushen was unsure.
"From what I've seen, it looks like you guys have finished all your preparations well. Are you ready to go?" Lin Nushen spoke in a flat tone.
"We're ready at any time" replied Weng Lou.
Weng Ying Luan next to him just kept silent and looked towards the Soul Ruler who fought with him two days ago.
He was eager to fight once again with her. But not to fulfill his fighting desire, but because he wanted to beat him to the brunt.
Sitting in his chair, Lin Nushen then explained to Weng Lou and Weng Ying Luan, "Good then. You can leave now. This is your identity medal, show it to the people of the Wang Family when you arrive at the Eternal Wall. They'll lead you to your masked partner."
Two medals were thrown at the two of them and were immediately arrested. Weng Lou stared at the medallion in his hand and could not help but stare strangely at Lin Nushen.
"A member of mixed blood? You kidding?"
On the medal he had, it was written that his name was Lin Lou, and he was a member of the Lin Family who came from a mixed branch of two different families.
The hierarchical system in the Lin Family consisted of those with a Phoenix bloodline of ten percent, twenty to fifty percent, and sixty to eighty.
As for ninety percent and above, only the people from the nuclear family had them.
Of these groups, there is one more group that does not belong to the hierarchy. They are the owners of mixed bloodlines. They were not included in the hierarchy ranks because they had two bloodlines in their bodies, thus making their Phoenix bloodline contaminated.
The people who had mixed bloodlines were known as the bottom ranks and would be viewed as such by the people from the Lin Family. As for how large a percentage of the Phoenix bloodline was within their bodies, they would still be looked down upon, even by those who only had a few percent of the Phoenix bloodline within their bodies.
This kind of identity given by Lin Nushen made Weng Lou wonder, whether this woman before him really wanted to demean him or some other purpose.
Some of the eleven Soul Sovereigns behind Lin Nushen showed a mocking facial expression. There were looks of ridicule in their eyes as they watched Weng Lou and Weng Ying Luan.
"I give you such an identity because you do not have any elemental Dantian. It is impossible for the people from the Lin Family to trust you if I give your identity as an ordinary member of the Lin Family to you. The only solution is to give the identity of a mixed-blood member to the two of you" Lin Nushen explained.
Weng Lou's eyes blinked. He put the medallion under his shirt, not intending to ask anything.
Seeing Weng Lou who understood his point, Lin Nushen spoke again. "I plan to make you go together with the Lin Family's Pursuit Army led by Lin Bei. But you can just turn it down and go alone if you want. I'll give you a map to help with your trip. What are your options?"
Hearing the name Lin Bei mentioned, Weng Ying Luan's facial expression immediately turned to surprise. Weng Lou who saw it immediately asked what the relationship between the two was.
"He's the same person I fought back then in the Battle Arena before then meeting you accidentally. I can't believe that he took your ship, but fate really worked very interestingly" said Weng Ying Luan.
He then spoke to Lin Nushen, "I don't want the Pursuit Army or anything that goes with us, but that person named Lin Bei can go with us. It would be nice to have someone who knows well the territory in Mainland like him."
"Him only? You sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Haaah.no matter what, the Pursuit Army has its present reputation because of Lin Bei's leadership. Then you guys can leave now, Lin Bei will arrive at the outer gate of the city. I've already told someone to tell him," said Lin Nushen.
Weng Lou nodded in understanding. He and Weng Ying Luan immediately left the place, and rushed towards the city gate.
After the two of them left, the eleven Soul Sovereigns behind Lin Nushen went along, observing and making sure their departure went smoothly. There should be no spies watching the two leave the Lin Family Residence.
As everyone left and Lin Nushen was left alone in the room, suddenly two women appeared before Lin Nushen. Both of them were wearing combat clothes from the scales of the Fire Dragon that made their body shapes exposed and displayed flawless beauty.
They lowered their heads in respect to Lin Nushen and immediately knelt down.
"Mother, some representatives from the Wang Family, the Ying Family, as well as the Yang Family have arrived near the lava lake. They asked for permission to enter the residential area and meet with you." The woman on the left spoke.
"Mother, someone we've sent to the Life-Eating Desert came back this morning and gave an important account of a major event taking place in the Life-Eating Desert." The woman on the right spoke as well.
Hearing the report from the two, Lin Nushen fell silent for a while before then got up to his feet and had the two women rise to their feet.
"Allow the representatives of the three families here, but do not bring them to meet you first, take them to rest in the inner region, in the resting house for guests. I'll meet them later" said Lin Nushen.
The woman on the left nodded in understanding, and immediately disappeared from where she was standing.
"The man who came back from the Life-Eating Desert, take him to see me now." This time Lin Nushen spoke to the woman on his right.
The woman just nodded and left immediately. It did not take long, a soft knocking sound came from the direction of the entrance of the room.
"Bring him in," said Lin Nushen.
*Kreeek ........*
The door opened, and a dark red-haired man walked inside while lowering his head nervously.
He stopped exactly a few meters from before Lin Nushen before then kneeling with both feet and kowtowing before Lin Nushen.
"I pay my respects to the Head of the Family!" The man exclaimed in a polite and respectful tone.
"Stand up, tell me what happened in the Life-Eating Desert." Lin Nushen gave the order.
The man immediately stood up, but with his head still down.
"Head of Family, the event that happened was a truly great event and made everyone in the Life-Eating Desert feel the impact. The Life-Eating Desert was famous for making the people inside it unable to use their Qi or Inner Energy. But a strange event happened a few weeks ago, The Life-Eating Desert suddenly gave rise to several teleportation portals that all pointed towards a place that people believed was a much deeper part of the Life-Eating Desert.
Many people who tried to enter the portal and found themselves in a very strange and unfamiliar place. The place was not like a desert, but rather a dark grey dune.
In addition to the undulating hills of the land, there were countless bones of humans as well as beasts in that place. It is said, the people who have returned from there have turned out to be insane and shouted a strange name.
One of the people who had returned from that place managed to return alright and was still sane. But he kept raving about a creature so terrible that he saw in that place. The creature was shaped like a human, yet had no face. There were no eyes, nose, mouth, ears, or hair on the creature. Even the man said the creature had no gender.
What makes the story even more absurd is, the creature, at least from hundreds of kilometers away and still not able to see the whole body of the creature!"
