BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
59 - Sect Elder Tianzhi

The white-clothed man with the complexion of bamboo leaves was named Wang Fang Bubai, the Great Elder of Tianzhi Sect. Of course, the age that looked like 43 years was not his actual age. Wang Fang Bubai was much older than Jiang Mu Bai.

"You finally came," Long Yang Wang opened his voice and then started to open the hood that covered his head.

!!!

The warriors of Tianzhi Sect were shocked not to play when they knew that the figure they were facing before was not entirely human. A cry sounded and even Chu Kai was shocked by it.

"He's a Demon!!"

The Tianzhi Sect warriors were about to strike back, but Wang Fang Bubai immediately signaled a hand for them all to not move. Wang Fang Bubai looked at the teenager who was standing not far before him.

Wang Fang Bubai's voice sounded, he said calmly. "You can send me a letter so I can make a welcome for you. But you just came all of a sudden and made a mess of this place."

"I'm not sure your welcome will be as lively as the surprise I'm giving."

Long Yang Wang's words made Chu Kai and the other Tianzhi Sect warriors gasp in shock. They stared at Wang Fang Bubai and Long Yang Wang in turn. Chu Kai and the others clearly felt that these two subjects before them knew each other.

"Just go ahead" Long Yang Wang opened his voice. "I came here to collect your promise,"

Long Yang Wang said, "You promised me two things. Your death and my mother's release,"

Jiang Mu Bai widened his eyes. His tone rose as he snapped, "How dare you talk like that to the Elder! I'll-"

"Don't," Wang Fang Bubai interjected, he looked at Jiang Mu Bai and shook his head slowly before returning to look at Long Yang Wang.

While taking a step closer, Wang Fang Bubai said. "It is true that I promised you both things, but for my death... I don't think it can be with your current strength."

"Between your mother's release or your revenge on me... Which of the two is important for you to finish first?" Wang Fang Bubai stopped right in front of the teenager and said, "To be honest if you choose to avenge yourself... Not only will you fail to save your mother, but you won't be able to see her again."

Long Yang Wang stared intently at the man before him. He clenched both of his hands and seemed to be holding back an outpouring of anger. In between his gritted teeth, Long Yang Wang opened his voice.

"I do hate you, but between my mother's safety and your death... You're obviously not important at all." Long Yang Wang said, "Just give that Dragon Swordsman Sword away if you don't want the talented disciples in your sect to perish in my hands."

Chu Kai looked jolted with Long Yang Wang's words. The teenager had just mentioned about the Dragon Swordsman Sword. He didn't hear wrong and of course it was shocking.

Blinking a few times, Chu Kai looked at Wei Zhang Zihan and pitched softly as he said. "Decider Wei... The sword he was referring to was... My sword?"

"What?" Wei Zhang Zihan frowned hearing the remark of the natural green-eyed young man beside him.

Chu Kai said, "He said about the Dragon Swordsman Sword. Doesn't that mean he's talking about my sword?"

"Hmph, it's impossible."

"But-but..."

"Sst, shut up and listen."

Chu Kai followed Wei Zhang Zihan's line of sight which looked towards Long Yang Wang. The arrival of the teenage boy to the Tianzhi Sect was apparently to obtain an heirloom known as the Dragon Swordsman.

Regardless of where this child came from and who he really was, Chu Kai had no idea at all. He came to the Tianzhi Sect with the injured Ruan Zhao Sheng while also aiming to look for the herbs that became one of the cold poison antidotes. He did not expect to see this kind of thing at all, let alone get involved in it.

"Expert Wei," Chu Kai half whispered. "I guess... We should leave soon. The relationship of the young man with the Great Elder of Tianzhi Sect looks not simple. My gut tells me that outsiders are like us... Can't listen to more than this,"

".............. Mn," Wei Zhang Zihan intended to turn around to check on the condition of Ruan Zhao Sheng right now. But who would have thought that suddenly there was an exclamation and someone ran over.

"Shizun! Shizun I managed to get the map..!"

!!

Chu Kai was surprised, he recognized this voice. He turned around and gasped as he watched Ruan Zhao Sheng rush to this place. Two Tianzhi Sect members ran behind him and looked so worried.

"Senior Ruan!"

"Shizun..!" Ruan Zhao Sheng grimaced as he pressed his chest. Cold sweat poured down his cheeks, he had clearly not fully recovered, but as if forced himself to move and come here.

Two members of the Tianzhi Sect finally managed to grab onto Ruan Zhao Sheng's arm and wield the man. But even while being held back by his two brothers, Ruan Zhao Sheng still tried to get close to Wang Fang Bubai.

"Shizun, I got it..." Ruan Zhao Sheng endured the pain on his internal wound and handed a scroll to Wang Fang Bubai. He realized the presence of the teenage boy who had strange ears and was not at all surprised when this child was in his sect.

Wang Fang Bubai looked at the map in his hand and exhaled. He said, "You shouldn't be this close..."

"What does Shizun mean?" Ruan Zhao Sheng looked at Wang Fang Bubai before gazing towards the teenage boy before him. He said, "It wasn't just Shizun who promised him. He made two things and one of them was that he wouldn't have messed up if we had the map."

Ruan Zhao Sheng's voice turned cold as he said, "But it seems like the remark from a mixed blood is unbelievable. The proof is that he killed and ruined this place,"

"True, he broke his own promise. Then shouldn't the Elder also occupy the promise that the Elder had made to him," one of the Tianzhi Sect disciples opened his voice. His words were approved by his other brothers.

Long Yang Wang snorted and then said, "I said I won't mess around in this place as you guys give me that map before the fireworks bloom. But the flower had bloomed three days ago, I even gave you time by coming late. But... Look now, you just got that map. So it's not my fault,"

Everyone was shocked, some members of the Tianzhi Sect seemed annoyed at Long Yang Wang. On the other hand, Chu Kai instead focused more on the utterance about the Fire Flower. The plant was one he needed in making a cold poison antidote.

The commotion that occurred was broken by Wang Fang Bubai. He tried to calm down the members of his sect while remaining vigilant if Long Yang Wang ran out of patience and instead attacked.

Despite looking teenage and only being alone in this place, Long Yang Wang still could not be underestimated. Killing him was extremely difficult and if it was reckless to do, then the Tianzhi Sect would obviously suffer no small loss.

Especially before, the word about this sect being able to lose its precious members made Wang Fang Bubai think twice about going against this teenager. He could not sacrifice the future of his college just for the sake of finishing off Long Yang Wang.

"Promise keep promise," Wang Fang Bubai opened his voice. "This map contains the location of the ancient tomb and where the heirloom of the lost Tianzhi Sect is located. I'll give it to you and it's up to you to use it for what,"

"Just remember this well," Wang Fang Bubai said, "If you come here to mess with my sect... Then I'll kill you myself even if I have to die, too,"

Chu Kai frowned hearing the remark from Long Yang Wang. He was just about to talk to Wei Zhang Zihan when suddenly Long Yang Wang shot up and grabbed his wrist.

!!!

The incident was shocking and even Wei Zhang Zihan did not expect it. Chu Kai himself shouted as he was taken flying quickly, without even warning. Wang Fang Bubai and the members of the Tianzhi Sect looked surprised instead of playing.

"Broker Chu..!" Ruan Zhao Sheng exclaimed. Chu Kai was the one who had helped and brought him here. He was of course worried if the young man who had been kind to him was involved in the problems in his sect.

Wei Zhang Zihan himself did not remain silent. He did not even say anything to Wang Fang Bubai and immediately darted following the teenager who had already taken Chu Kai away.

"Shizun..!" Ruan Zhao Sheng called Wang Fang Bubai and said, "Broker Chu has already saved me. He's-"

"Calm down," Wang Fang Bubai said, "Take Zhao Sheng back for treatment and the others sort out all this mess then call Wang Xiao Cheng right away,"

"Chairman," Jiang Mu Bai opened his voice, "Why did you hand the scroll over to him? If he obtained the Dragon Swordsman Sword, then this sect would be in danger."

"................" Wang Fang Bubai looked at the man beside him and tonelessly said, "Before I hand the scroll over to him.. I've changed the contents of the map with deep energy. And before he realized the manipulation.. Wang Xiao Cheng had to get the sword first."

"I'd better go,"

"Don't, if your movements are known... Then the warriors from other sects would know about the ancient tomb and this could become even worse. I'll check Zhao Sheng's condition first, you help the others."

Wang Fang Bubai's worry about spreading the news about the Dragon Swordsman Sword inside an ancient tomb was of course reasoned. The sword is an heirloom that is contested because it has great power. He went to Zhao Sheng to find out how the young man had found the map of the ancient tomb.

Wang Fang Bubai should be feeling anxious, as news of the ancient map and tomb had been known to Shuang Ling Feng from Rufeng Tower. Soon, the news will spread to various places.

Chu Kai was dropped to the ground, the place was a bamboo forest and he himself tried to catch his breath. Luckily Long Yang Wang did not drop it hard so he could take a proper landing position.

Chu Kai looked at the teenager who had started treading gently on the ground. He opened his voice and was still in shock.

Chu Kai said, "What are you doing? Why did you bring me here?!"

"You brought the young man to the temple, so you must know about this map."

"W-what?" Chu Kai flinched, "What kind of thought is that? How could I possibly know about a map that I've never even seen its shape."

"Listen, son." Chu Kai said, "I'm just an ordinary person who happens to find Swordsman Ruan. I helped him by taking Pendekar Ruan to the temple, how do I know about the map?"

"But now you know, right?" Long Yang Wang said without a tone, "Then from that I brought you. There is a dragon aura I see from you and I need it to take a sword. You have to come,"

"Dragon aura..." Chu Kai watched the figure before him intently and in a soft voice said, "I think you're wrong... I don't have that kind of thing at all,"

"............ That can be proven later,"

Chu Kai gulped, this child cannot be compromised at all. "De-listen to me. L'm... Don't want to get involved with you or any maps, including ancient tombs and anything else that has to do with it. I have my own mission and i-this is very important because it concerns someone's life. I-so I can't help you let alone come with you,"

"You think of someone's life, but what I'm about to do has to do with the fate of the world. If you don't come, then I won't be responsible for the destruction of this world... But you are."

!!

Chu Kai was surprised by Long Yang Wang's words. He did not know who this teenager was and was involved in a big problem.

Chu Kai said, "What I witnessed before is that you want to get that sword to avenge and kill the Great Elder of Tianzhi Sect. So what's the guarantee that the world will be okay if I help you get what you want?"

Long Yang Wang watched the man in front of him carefully and then said without a tone. "The legend says that the Dragon Swordsman Sword can only be held and swung by the Dragon Swordsman himself and someone with the same aura as the Dragon. You don't have to worry, you're the only one holding the sword."

?!

Chu Kai flinched. His expression was solemn as he stared at the face of the teenage boy before him. He recalled Long Yang Wang's conversation with the Tianzhi Sect elder and felt that this teenager was trying to make use of him.

"I should be free from it, but from what I see... He's a hard man to beat." Chu Kai said, "He is not human and he has without a doubt taken the lives of others. If you act rashly... I could've gone,"

Chu Kai took a breath and nervously said, "If I... Get that sword.. Y-you're gonna do what?"

"I'll ask for your help,"

"He didn't even think when he answered?" Chu Kai breathed slowly, "This child... He's been expecting the question I asked."

Chu Kai blinked, "Help... What do you want from me?"

"Save my mother. I'll tell you later, we don't have much time."

!!

Chu Kai did not have time to react, his wrist was again grabbed and he was taken away. Long Yang Wang darted over the bamboo tree grove while carrying Chu Kai. Their goal was to head north based on the Tianzhi Sect as the central point.

The ancient tomb does exist. the tomb holds many treasures, including heirloom weapons. It was just that such an abundant treasure was impossible without danger. Moreover, not only did Long Yang Wang aim for the tomb, but also the members of the Tianzhi Sect and the warriors from other sects.

Chu Kai himself did not rebel because other than he was curious about the true purpose of this teenage boy... He was also quite interested in that Dragon Swordsman Sword.

On the other hand, the ancient tomb referred to by Long Yang Wang was the same as the location that had one of the herbs for the cold poison antidote. The plant was not a kind of Fire Flower, but was a rare lightning grass. I just don't know why it feels... Long Yang Wang went in the opposite direction to the location of the tomb.

Chu Kai blinked, his forehead shrinking but he did not dare to open his voice. According to him, Long Yang Wang likely had a shortcut or this child chose a detour to trick the warriors. The two people had absolutely no idea of the plan of the Great Elder of Tianzhi Sect.
