BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
56 - Towards the Tianzhi Sect

Chu Kai flinched, the voice of the subject in front of him was indeed like that of a teenage boy, but this was not too similar to a human voice nor was it the voice of a dead person, let alone belonging to a demon.

"Long Yang Wang...?"

Chu Kai's hearing was never wrong. He could distinguish the type of every voice he heard. A special talent that is not even possessed by humans or other warriors in general.

Humans, ordinary beasts, demonic beasts, demons, the dead, as well as other types of creatures... They have a special characteristic in their respective voices. It was just that indeed among these creatures, Chu Kai would have trouble if it was about demonic beasts and demons.

Generally, the sounds of demonic beasts and demons that were at a certain level of practice became difficult for Chu Kai to detect. But if he could come close like this, he would be too troubled. This boy named Long Yang Wang... It has a voice that is between the human and the demonic beast.

"Mixed Blood..."

Chu Kai could only remember this word if he paid attention to the subject before him. He looked at the teenager and then said, "Long Yang Wang... Your name is pretty good, but I've never heard of the Long clan. Where are you from?"

"My margaret is behind the name. It was to distinguish my identity from that of a human, just like the color of your eyes."

"You..." Wei Zhang Zihan looked at the boy sitting nearby when he heard the remark. As if he had noticed it, the boy looked over.

Long Yang Wang said, "Thank you for saving me and for the bread. It's bland and hard, but it's at least better than hunger."

"Listen," Chu Kai opened his voice. "You haven't answered my question. Where are you from and what are you doing here? The townspeople thought that you were a demon and because of saving you, the good name of the Swordsman Wei Zhang Zihan and the Wushi Mountain Sect are now labeled bad."

"I never asked to be saved,"

"What?" Chu Kai flinched. "You're an ungrateful child,"

Long Yang Wang snorted before finally looking back at Wei Zhang Zihan. He said, "For what you do... I already returned it. The people outside it... They won't remember anything about what happened today. You're gonna be okay,"

"What do you mean?" Chu Kai asked and watched this boy carefully.

"The devil has special abilities and for his case... He is an expert in the use of spiritual energy needles,"

!!!

The foreign voice made Chu Kai and Wei Zhang Zihan spontaneously set their sights on them. The one who spoke just now was none other than Ruan Zhao Sheng, the swordsman of the Tianzhi Sect had apparently started to wake up.

"Ruan Hero?" Chu Kai deftly helped Ruan Zhao Sheng who seemed a little difficult to sit down.

"Is Pendekar Ruan okay?" Chu Kai asked with a worried tone. Inwardly he wondered about since when Ruan Zhao Sheng had regained consciousness.

Ruan Zhao Sheng nodded slowly in response. He looked at the teenager before him and then said, "Having the blood of humans and demonic beasts... You're mixed blood. Where are your parents?"

Long Yang Wang noticed the subject before him. His forehead slightly rose as he opened his voice, "Aren't you the one who should know where they are when compared to me?"

?!

Chu Kai and Wei Zhang Zihan gasped when they heard Long Yang Wang's words. What this teenage boy said seemed to signify that the subject had a relationship with Ruan Zhao Sheng.

"I don't understand what you mean. What are you saying?" Ruan Zhao Sheng himself looked puzzled. This was the first time he had met this child, but why did the figure before him speak like that? It was as if he knew the parents of this teenage boy.

"You're from the Tianzhi Sect, but if you don't know who I am... Then maybe you're just a new student."

"What?" Ruan Zhao Sheng did not expect to hear such a remark from a boy. He blinked and then said, "I've become a student by the age of 7. How could I not know about my own school. You-"

"Hmph, even if you're now 30 to 40 years old... Still you are still too layman in the sect. L'm... Long Yang Wang is going to the Tianzhi Sect and collect someone's promise,"

Ruan Zhao Sheng flinched. He was just about to speak up when the pain in his chest returned. Chu Kai spontaneously held onto Ruan Zhao Sheng's arm and this action was witnessed by Wei Zhang Zihan.

Long Yang Wang noticed Ruan Zhao Sheng and then said, "You asking won't even understand my intentions and goals. It's much better if you go home and treat your wounds, that,"

"You... Wh-wait!" Ruan Zhao Sheng grimaced. The teenager he saw woke up and started walking out. Long Yang Wang again covered his head with a hood and did not speak at all anymore.

"Stop-"

"Boyar Ruan, your wound.." Chu Kai was worried. Ruan Zhao Sheng coughed out blood and the breath of this white-clothed man started to be irregular.

"I... I can't let him go to the sect." Ruan Zhao Sheng tried to endure the pain from his internal injuries. His voice was slow as he said, "He's mixed blood. Tianzhi Sect... Not allowed to enter by such a creature,"

Chu Kai watched Ruan Zhao Sheng before staring at Wei Zhang Zihan. He said, "Executor Wei. Please help me hold the kid,"

Wei Zhang Zihan had indeed not taken any action, even when Long Yang Wang stepped away. He simply sat down cross-legged and looked at Chu Kai for a moment before calmly speaking.

"But..." Chu Kai looked at Wei Zhang Zihan before starting to catch his breath. He said, "Then please take care of Swordsman Ruan for a moment. I'd like to see the boy and talk to him,"

"Kai, you better not act recklessly..." Wei Zhang Zihan had yet to finish his words when Chu Kai had already walked out of the temple.

Chu Kai searched for Long Yang Wang's whereabouts and only found those townspeople who were currently still unconscious. He looked around and could not find the boy in the black hood.

"Where is the boy..?" Chu Kai scratched his cheek before returning to meet Wei Zhang Zihan. It just so happened that the young man he wanted to meet was now walking out of the temple while addressing Ruan Zhao Sheng.

"Boyard Ruan, how are you?" Chu Kai asked while in front of Ruan Zhao Sheng.

Wei Zhang Zihan breathed slowly and replied, "He needs a healer."

"No... I'm..." Ruan Zhao Sheng grimaced. His voice was weak as he said, "I'm fine..."

"Subordinate Ruan," Chu Kai said, "How can you be fine if you are like this? You obviously need treatment from a healer,"

"No, i... I must immediately return to the sect.." Ruan Zhao Sheng's breathing was irregular. He said, "There's something I need to tell Shizun right now."

"But you are injured," Chu Kai looked at Ruan Zhao Sheng's face that was so pale and became anxious. He looked at Wei Zhang Zihan and asked, "Is Swordsman Wei unable to treat Swordsman Ruan?"

"I've tried it before, but it can't heal his internal wounds completely. He still had to be cared for by a healer,"

"No need, I'm really fine." Ruan Zhao Sheng said softly, "Secte Tianzhi is not far from this place anymore. L'm... Gonna go now. You can continue... Your journey,"

"What do you mean, Swordsman Ruan?" Chu Kai opened his voice. He held onto Ruan Zhao Sheng's arm, pulled him up and then without warning carried Ruan Zhao Sheng on his back.

That Chu Kai action not only shocked Ruan Zhao Sheng, but Wei Zhang Zihan as well. Chu Kai said, "I've brought Swordsman Ruan here. So there's no way I'll leave Swordsman Ruan alone, I'll take him to Tianzhi Sect."

"You..." Ruan Zhao Sheng blinked. He could not even say anything more because Chu Kai was behaving like this.

Honestly speaking, Ruan Zhao Sheng was actually not feeling good because he had previously been rude and even wanted to kill Chu Kai. Now, the young man who had originally become his opponent had now become so friendly and instead wanted to drive him home.

Wei Zhang Zihan himself watched Chu Kai and sighed softly. This young man was very cunning in making use of the situation. It was obvious that Chu Kai was indeed eyeing the Tianzhi Sect in search of herbs. Even without Ruan Zhao Sheng, this young man would still go to the Tianzhi Sect.

"Specker Wei, you came to this town with Miss Xia Ling Qing. Where is he now?" Chu Kai thought of Xia Ling Qing. The girl should not be left alone.

"He's at the inn. I'll send him a message,"

Chu Kai nodded slowly, "Tell Miss Xia Ling Qing that we will go to Tianzhi Sect. I don't want him to worry,"

"Hmph, who are you to worry about?" Wei Zhang Zihan paused and then walked away. His words made Chu Kai cluck and appear to be pouting.

Paying attention to the citizens of the city who were currently lying unconscious made Chu Kai take a breath. The naturally green-eyed youth began to practice the body lightening technique that Ruan Zhao Sheng taught and made Wei Zhang Zihan startled.

!!

Chu Kai should still be a beginner in terms of the use of body lightening science. That was why when he saw that the young man was now able to do so, even perfectly making Wei Zhang Zihan stunned and with shocked eyes.

Wei Zhang Zihan followed Chu Kai. He also used a body lightening technique and darted beside the green-eyed youth who was even in a state carrying someone on his back.

"How can you learn a technique like this?" Wei Zhang Zihan opened his voice in disbelief at what he saw now.

Chu Kai looked at Wei Zhang Zihan for a moment before replying. He said, "I got guidance from Pendekar Ruan. And the things I didn't understand while getting guidance from you, I can now ask Swordsman Ruan."

Wei Zhang Zihan actually did not matter if anything could make Chu Kai thrive. It was just that indeed the name of the Tianzhi Sect was less convenient for him. He heard a lot of strange news and was actually quite serious to discuss about this sect.

Wei Zhang Zihan was just a little astonished and felt that Ruan Zhao Sheng was eyeing something from Chu Kai. Moreover, he was so kind as to brief this young man in an understanding of body lightening techniques.

On the other hand, Wei Zhang Zihan had indeed already sent word to Xia Ling Qing. Even before Chu Kai asked for it and at this time the news might have reached the beautiful girl.

Both Chu Kai and Wei Zhang Zihan did not know that currently Xia Ling Qing was engaged in a showdown with some swordsmen. The expression on the girl's face looked cold and her voice was so sharp. It didn't even take long until the dispute was now an exchange of attacks that ended fiercely.
