BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
145 - Return to Wushi Mountain Sect

There were many customers inside the tavern and the people who had previously noticed Chu Kai were the men who were members of a sect called Lightning Lake.

The five men had quite large bodies with firm faces. Lightning Lake is actually a place flanked by five rocky hills and better known as the headquarters of the bandits.

They wear dark blue clothes and with different weapons. These warriors were quite unsettling as they often robbed and also hurt others, but as long as they were being kind... These people would also not be bothered by other warriors.

"You see that girl? She's very pretty,"

"I recognized his uniform, he was from the Wushi Mountain Sect."

"Aren't they the famous Holy Warriors? Waahs... I should have met him earlier,"

"The girls in our place are nothing quite as pretty as Miss Xia. If only I could kidnap him, I would really do it."

"Ha ha ha, you want to die? Even if Miss Xia's partner doesn't intervene, the beautiful girl can still kill you."

"It doesn't have to be Miss Xia, I'm alone enough to do it."

!!?

The five warriors from the Lightning Lake Sect gasped at the unfamiliar voice. They looked over and a young man approached. The subject's right hand appears wrapped in bandages.

One of the warriors stood up, he then opened his voice. "What did you say just now? Hmph, be haughty as well... It should also have limits,"

The man with the bandage on his right hand was none other than Chu Kai. The natural green-eyed youth stared intently at the figure before him and without warning instantly gave a kick.

!!!

The Swordsman of the Lightning Lake Sect had not expected this at all. He was hit by a kick strong enough to make him pushed back and hit the table in front of him. The atmosphere instantly became boisterous.

"Damn it! What are you doing" one of the warriors was about to snap when suddenly Chu Kai picked up the chopsticks on the table and did something shocking.

Ahhhh!

Screams of pain rang out as the hand of one of the warriors of the Lightning Lake Sect was pierced by the bamboo chopsticks by Chu Kai. The behavior of this natural green-eyed youth invited the attention of many people.

Chu Kai's left hand was still holding the chopsticks he had planted in the hand of one of the men before him. Coldly, he said. "Miss Xia Ling Qing is mine. How dare you and your friends look at him,"

"I only once warned," Chu Kai again opened his voice. "Don't ever do anything like that again or I'll finish you all off, okay?"

Chu Kai retracted the chopsticks he had set and then walked away. The three warriors from the Lightning Lake Sect looked extremely angry and pulled their weapons.

Just about to dart, the warriors were jolted with an unusually dark aura. This aura was so gripping that it was even difficult to step foot. The warriors felt a tightness in their chests and this aura was none other than Chu Kai.

".................." Chu Kai himself stopped his footsteps for a moment and then turned around. His facial expression was very clear hinting that the warriors did not regard his actions as merely a threat. The look in Chu Kai's eyes showed that he could actually do what he said just now.

Those warriors from the Lightning Lake Sect were still at the early stages of the Heavenly Cultivation Level. Their bodies were indeed quite muscular, but that did not mean that Chu Kai had a smaller body than these people. Honestly speaking, when it comes to physique, Chu Kai is a perfect and admirable figure.

The natural green-eyed young man was not one who had a face like a plain young man so that he could be tricked. The scar on his right temple shows the aura of a person who cannot be oppressed.

In addition to the warriors of Lightning Lake Sect, in this tavern were also seen some warriors from other sects. They had only witnessed the incident and had no intention of taking any action. This was all due to Chu Kai being quite mysterious.

"The fighter.... He had a dense murderous aura," one of the warriors opened his voice. His tone was slow, yet could still be heard by the fellow beside him.

"You're right, I feel it too."

"It looks like the young man... It was simply not training the aura change technique. Is he from the black stream?"

"But wasn't he together with the holy swordsman from the Wushi Mountain Sect before? They also looked close, so it was impossible if he was from a black stream. Members of the Wushi Mountain Sect, let alone Sacred Swordsman Xia Ling Qing... Very dislike of the swordsman of the black stream."

Chu Kai who had already left the tavern did not hear the words of the warriors behind him at all. His facial expression changed as usual as he looked at Xia Ling Qing, Wei Zhang Zihan, and Liu Han Ying who were waiting for him under a tree.

"You done yet?" Liu Han Ying opened his voice. He noticed Chu Kai and was answered a slow nod by the young man.

"Heah... It feels relieved. Now let's go" Chu Kai smiled. He followed Xia Ling Qing and Wei Zhang Zihan who started walking first.

"I thought about this since earlier," Liu Han Ying re-opened his voice. He walked up next to Chu Kai and then said, "What lesson did the elder Wang Zhong Xian you were following not arrive at the 'inedia' stage yet'?"

"Didn't anyone ever explain it to you?" Liu Han Ying said, "It's a kind of fasting. You use spiritual energy as a substitute for the nutrients you've been getting from food. Because of practicing 'inedia', most cultivators no longer needed to defecate or the things that humans often do in general."

"Ah... Do cultivators also not need to take a bath?" Chu Kai looked at Liu Han Ying and said, "What I mean is that could it be that cultivators could use spiritual energy to cleanse themselves?"

"Hmph, that would be the coolest thing." Liu Han Ying said, "Only cultivators of a certain level can do it. Ah, right too. Do you want me to show you something interesting?"

"Mn?"

Liu Han Ying smiled. He took something from the bag on his arm. It was a small brocade, embroidered with golden thread formed like a flower, looking extremely beautiful with a red string.

Liu Han Ying explained, "This is the number one most important item for cultivators to carry. This thing is called a qian kun pouch. Although the shape is small, but can hold a lot of goods. Extent... It could depend on the person who owns this thing,"

"Waaah, that means it's a very valuable item. Does Miss Xia have one too?"

"Of course, any disciple who was already at the Heavenly Cultivation Level would be given this kind of thing. Although some have not got it because their abilities are considered still lacking,"

Chu Kai watched Liu Han Ying and then said, "Miss Liu. What was the time of exploration of ancient tombs at that time... You got a lot of valuable things?"

Liu Han Ying blinked before sighing, "Not too much. I only got a few spirit pearls. Haaah... To be honest, I met monsters more often than I found treasures. Isn't that a bitch?"

"Well... It's so annoying." Chu Kai smiled bitterly as he recalled how he monopolized all the treasures from that ancient tomb. Even he could very confidently say that Liu Han Ying's storage pouch could not compare to his universe scroll.

Liu Han Ying continued to talk to Chu Kai along the way. On the other hand, Xia Ling Qing and Wei Zhang Zihan only answered modestly when asked by their two friends.

Xia Ling Qing again took out his fire phoenix made from spiritual energy when he and his comrades came out of the city. By riding these creatures, they would be able to arrive at the Wushi Mountain Sect quickly.

Chu Kai then still pretended to be sick even until he arrived at the Wushi Mountain Sect. As a result of his actions, the disciples who were of his class under the guidance of Elder Wang Zhong Xian became alarmed.

Inside his room, Chu Kai had several times received guests and all of them were liliput. These children are led by Fu Wutian who will soon be 14 years old.

Despite being looked at by the boys who were mostly under Fu Wutian, Chu Kai did not mind at all. He even accepted when Lin Mo and also some other children painted on the bandages that wrapped his hands.

"I'll write a prayer for Kai to heal soon" a sweet girl smiled. Chu Kai was thus powerless to refuse him.

"I'll draw the symbols that make you sick. You'll heal a thousand times,"

"All right, but do it right. Okay?" Chu Kai was truly resigned. Inside his room right now there was only himself and his classmates.

Chu Kai watched as these children were so serious about painting on the cloth wrapped in his right hand. It was just that occasionally Chu Kai looked towards the door and was as if he was waiting for someone.

Previously, Wei Zhang Zihan had said that he would go to meet Elder Xia Feng Hua to report some things. Then Liu Han Ying said he would bring Physician Yun Zhen over to check on him so that the one who delivered him to the room was Xia Ling Qing.

Chu Kai still remembered Xia Ling Qing telling him to rest and the girl said she would bring him some warm soup. He happily waited and became somewhat impatient.

"What's that sound?" Fu Wutian immediately turned his head towards the window when he heard a sound. He blinked when he saw a young man he didn't know enough about.

"Senior Qin Shou?" Lin Mo also saw the young man coming and jumping in through the window of Chu Kai's room.

"Brother, I'll be right here when I find out you've come." Qin Shou walked up to Chu Kai and said, "I heard you were seriously injured. Are you okay now?"

"Mn, I'm better." Chu Kai replied calmly. This young man before him was a friend who lived beside his room.

"Actually I came here in addition to visiting you also want to ask something. What happens until your hands get like that?" Qin Shou was sitting on a chair. He watched Chu Kai intently and the young man before him seemed to sigh.

"Actually... That's a very long story,"

"I also want to hear it," Fu Wutian opened his voice. "Tell me, Kai. You've been gone a long time and must have had a lot of exciting adventurers, right? Let's tell it."

Lin Mo and the other children also looked enthusiastic. Chu Kai also breathed slowly and then nodded. The green-eyed young man smiled, "Alright. It all started when Miss Xia Ling Qing and I did a closed training..."

It was impossible for Chu Kai to tell his secret to these people. He only told me about his mission which was the exploration of the ancient tomb, fought against the dragon with Wei Zhang Zihan and Ling Xian Shu, then faced the situation of being confined inside the tomb for half a year.

That day Chu Kai told me things that not only caught Qin Shou's attention, but Fu Wutian and the others as well. He did not realize that currently one of the members of the Dead Moon Sect was starting to prepare to become a nuisance to Chu Kai's path forward.

Clearly the enemy he had to face the longer, the stronger and with the more honed fighting techniques. If Chu Kai did not immediately realize to renew his strength now, then he could have lost something precious to him.
