Chapter 116: Elite Disciple of a huge sect

“What’s wrong?” Hearing the sudden shatters and self disintegration of that jade seal, and observing the fatty Zhang Zhouyu; without knowing what was happening, even cultivator Zhu knew something wasn’t right.

“Although I can’t tell which sect this person is from, but I can confirm he is definitely an elite disciple of a huge sect.” With a close to tearing expression, Zhang Zhouyu flipped over the tiger head designed black spirit class shield.

Everyone present could see, by the edge of the inverted black shield, a coiling green brilliance was faintly flowing.

Zhang Zhouyu then retrieved that blood-red blade flying artifact that had transformed into a foot long. Identically, it had a coiling green brilliance faintly flowing…..

“This is a unique trailing talisman trace that only a Heaven’s First sect type of huge sect possess. It is to prevent their treasures from being stolen after elite disciples are murdered, and to avenge them. If we keep these, we will definitely be chased down no matter where we go. Only if one knows how to eliminate the trailing talisman…anyway, I don’t have a clue.” Zhang Zhouyu tossed this item down, about to tear he clasped his hands. “Everyone, if anyone knows how to eliminate the trace, then go ahead. Anyway, taking the spiritual stones of an elite disciple isn’t safe as well. If anyone wants, you can have it. My apologies, this one will immediately flee for his life.”

“Wait, I don’t understand yet.” Cultivator Zhu’s thick brows tightened, as he halted Zhang Zhouyu. “What’s with that glossy green jade seal? Why did it shatter……”

“If I didn’t guess wrongly, that is something similar to a Fate-lamp of the Mystic Wind Sect, just that it isn’t as advanced.” Zhang Zhouyu swiftly glanced at cultivator Zhu. “You should know the Mystic Wind Sect right, one of the ten big sects of the Heavenly Profound continent, the one with Shui Ling’er.”

“I know, I know.” Cultivator Zhu fiercely nodded.

“If you know, then let me go and flee!”

“Oh.” Cultivator Zhu released his hand. Yet after pondering something wasn’t right, he halted the fatty again.

“What do you want?” Zhang Zhouyu couldn’t help becoming frustrated. “I’m going to call your big brother.”

Cultivator Zhu apologetically replied. “Don’t need to bother him, I just don’t know what is a Fate-lamp……”

“You pig!” Zhang Zhouyu cried out. “You don’t even know that, how did you become a Divine Sea stage level 5 cultivator?”

What caused Zhang Zhouyu’s vision to darken was cultivator Zhu actually nodding. “Yes ah, little brother is really surnamed Zhu (朱 = Pig), how could you forget that? This little brother’s name is Zhu Xiaochun.”

What caused his eyes to darken further was that muscular, all brawn no brains cultivator scratching his head and speaking, “I’m also a Divine Sea stage level 5, I don’t know as well. Also, Zhang bro, should I still address you as Zhang bro, or call you senior?”

“Just address me with whatever you like to.” Wei Suo could tell this talented fatty could no longer stand the combination of the two blockheads, he interrupted in assistance. “Putting it simply, every elite disciple from the Mystic Wind Sect has a Fate-lamp. Once the elite disciple dies, his fate-lamp would extinguish; it would be able to pinpoint the location of the disciple’s demise. Mystic Wind Sect can then send experts over, and their fastest moment……..It is said that there was once a blinded loose cultivator that killed an elite disciple of the Mystic Wind Sect. Even before he managed to search through the disciple’s body, experts from the Mystic Wind Sect had already arrived…….as for that jade seal, at least it wouldn’t activate on itself. It resides inside the Treasure-Receiving pocket; once it senses a true energy different from that youth, it will be instantly triggered. I reckon it is about time an expert arrives, if you want to keep your life hurry up and leave. Those large sects normally would first seal off a thousand li radius; when that happens, don’t think that no one is coming…..but actually, you’ve already been entrapped, just waiting to be finished off….”

“Big brother, hurry up and leave. Wherever you want to go, I’ll follow you.” Speaking about genuinely fleeing, the surnamed Zhu cultivator had the fastest reaction. In a flash, he latched onto Wei Suo.

“Why are you following me for?” With a pathetic expression, Wei Suo then clasped his hands to Zhang Zhouyu. “Brother Zhang is right, it should be high time the experts arrive. But it seems like brother Zhang is rather adept in escaping, please advise this one a little. Besides, since there are many here, if one is caught there is a chance of implicating us in the future……”

The reason Wei Suo did this, was because he had quietly observed this wretched fatso cultivator for some time. He realized that though the fatso grumbled miserably before, an expressed extreme disappointment in being unable to embezzle the youth’s items, his expression wasn’t truly flustered.

“Fine, count on my bad luck, I’ll just divulge today.” Hearing Wei Suo’s words, Zhang Zhouyu speechlessly sighed and continued, “I have a skill technique; not only can it conceal a layer of my true cultivation, the other aspect is being able to suppress my aura to the lowest. This is done by not moving and not using any true energy, a skill akin to being a dead corpse. Even the powerful Divine sense probing cannot sense me. As long as I find a place to hide, and the opposing party isn’t a Thought-division Stage cultivator, he shouldn’t be able to find me……but since I’ve divulged this skill to everyone here, I plead for everyone to pledge a death-oath not to spread it. I wouldn’t want to see a day when I’m hunting down demonic beasts, and is suddenly ambushed by an unmoving corpse by the side.”

“Sure sure sure. If I leak this out, let my limbs rot and death overcome me.” Cultivator Zhu immediately took an oath.

Feng Zhiyou and the black armoured cultivator suddenly had a sullen and agitated expression. They were exceedingly clear, an ordinary cultivator wouldn’t simply divulge their unique skills to others.

“This guy really isn’t bad.” Wei Suo’s impression of this wretched fatty improved greatly again. Besides, if he really had no idea and just shrugged his hands and left, then Wei Suo wouldn’t be able to do anything……besides if he and Wei Suo, both Heavenly Circuit cultivators were to flee together, the chances of escaping pursuit is higher.

“Let’s go, we’ll talk as we run. We definitely cannot use the nearest transportation array. Let’s hide for a while, before deciding, then we’ll detour to some other transportation array.” Zhang Zhouyu waved his hands, storing that muscular male who was carrying Feng Zhiyou, the black armoured cultivator, and his companion’s corpses into his Treasure-receiving pocket. The group of them didn’t dare utilize any flying artifact or skill, they just followed Zhang Zhouyu and penetrated deeper into the forest.

……

After half an incense stick of time lapsed from Wei Suo’s departure, an astoundingly fast, black flurry shot towards the area where the youth was killed. After sweeping with an abnormally furious divine sense, it completely disregarded the youth’s corpse as it headed towards the direction of Wei Suo and company………

“Have you understood yet?!”

Inside a mountain cave roughly a dozen li away, Wei Suo and the fatty cultivator was immensely desiring to strangle that ‘all brawn no brains’ muscular cultivator.

Zhang Zhouyu painstakingly offered this skill technique called ‘Secret-concealment art’; although it wasn’t as simple to execute as the ‘Cyan-wind blades’, it definitely wasn’t so terribly difficult to comprehend.

However during their journey, Zhang Zhouyu had consecutively explained for 3 times; others had already understood, only this blockhead hadn’t the slightest thread of inspiration. He still had no clue how to execute this skill, this was the fourth explanation……

Moreover at this moment, the bunch of them had already seen that shockingly fast black flurry from afar.

With such a frightening speedy flying artifact, and to rush here to avenge the youth, it was definitely a formidable cultivator.

Such a cultivator, without exception, even if Wei Suo and Zhang Zhouyu tried their utmost, they probably couldn’t rival.

Based on the speed of that black flurry, it just needed a brief time before inspecting this mountain cave that Wei Suo and the rest were hiding in. If the muscular cultivator couldn’t execute this skill, then they very possibly wouldn’t be able to escape the divine sense probe of that cultivator!

At present, what caused Wei Suo and Han Weiwei to almost break out in tears, was that cultivator Zhu interrupted. He fumed angrily at the other blockhead, “Exactly so, you’re a pig! I can’t even understand why you are a Divine Sea stage level 5 cultivator. I just needed two rounds to understand, you still can’t after three times?”

Instead, a massive boulder of burden immediately rolled off Zhang Zhouyu and Wei Suo. After hearing the fourth time, that blockhead finally sighed. “I got it.”

“Thank the heavens! Today’s luck isn’t as bad as I thought.”

As Zhang Zhouyu uttered this statement, his face transformed drastically in an instant. As the group of them casted this skill, even the severely injured Feng Zhiyou was doing so, that black flurry was now directly shooting for their direction.

It was as if it had eyes, and had locked onto them.

Then he abruptly reacted, swiftly stripping off a murky robe that appeared similar to Wei Suo’s one. A true horror finally flashed from his eyes; from the back of his robe, a faint speckle of green formed.

“Wakao!”

When Wei Suo reacted and tugged at Han Weiwei’s hand, preparing to flee.

That cultivator had released a green encircling light skill technique!

This was that same green light beam that shot Zhang Zhouyu down, where he feigned his death. Although Zhang Zhouyu had previously blocked off the might of that green beam, and was completely unharmed; that skill of that youth, actually had a tracking ability!

That youth from before wasn’t planning to let a single one escape from the start!
