Chapter 1428 - 1428
"She ran away from home? No wonder. I was wondering why the Phoenix Clan would send her with someone else here since she alone should be enough for this trip," Bai Gu let out.
"Wait a minute. Why would she run from home though?" he asked.
"How should I know? I'm not her assistant," Zhu Chang responded. "I just saw her there when I went down. I don't know her purpose, nor did I care."
"I wonder if she will come back before the battles. Because the Phoenix Clan might have a really bad time without her. They might get the lowest rank there. I don't think their clan would be happy with that," Bai Gu said, sighing.
"Are you disappointed that you won't get to fight her?" Zhu Chang asked.
"Why do you think that?" Bai Gu inquired. He soon burst into laughter. "Don't tell me you can read my mind now?"
"Read your mind?" Zhu Chang asked. "Do you think I even need that?"
"Then how did you know?" Bai Gu asked.
"What's there to know? You and her share the same element of fire. The Qilin Clan and the Phoenix Clan have always been in conflict with each other on who's the strongest fire clan."
"So, of course, you'd want to fight their strongest to prove yourself, especially after the last time you lost against her. I don't think it'll give you the satisfaction after you defeat someone else in that arena instead of her," Zhu Chang explained.
"It's the same with me. I want to fight the true heir of the White Tiger Clan who defeated me last time. Otherwise, I won't feel like I achieved the victory. I don't think you'll be any different."
"You're absolutely right," Bai Gu replied. "I want to defeat her. No one else will give me the feeling of achievement. So it's disappointing to think that she isn't here. I hope she will come back before we reach there."
"Is that the Temple?" Zhu Chang asked, noticing a glimpse of the temple in the distance.
"That's right. That's the one," Bai Gu replied. "The entrance should be on the other side of it."
"It's amazing. I can feel my bloodline getting excited just by being in the presence of it. I wonder why the Temple of my Ancestor was attached to this place."
"That's not the case for only you. It's the case with us all," Bai Gu replied.
"It seems like our First Ancestors were the ones that hid this realm so no one could get here. They also made one key for each of them and made a rule that only three keys could open the entrance which was sealed by them."
"Before going into eternal sleep, they created their own tomb in their separate realms, connecting their tombs to this place. After that, they told their heirs about it before departing."
"Since then, the information is passed from generation to generation with the passing of Godly Core to the heir. But the times are different, so they informed us a bit early to help us investigate," Bai Gu said.
"Why though? Why tell you all so soon? If they just needed to investigate, they could've come themselves, couldn't they?" Zhu Chang asked.
"They can certainly come here, but they can't go inside the Temple. There are certain kinds of limitations which make it impossible for them to enter."
"What limitation?" Zhu Chang asked.
"I have no idea. My father didn't tell me about it. It doesn't matter in any case. Just the opportunity to explore this place in itself is everything!"
"That's certainly true," Zhu Chang agreed.
They reached close to the Temple, which was in the shape of a towel which was at least ten kilometers wide. It was a massive tower that appeared like the tower of heaven.
They flew around the tower, advancing towards the entrance.
Soon, Zhu Chang was able to see others as well. There were people standing at the entrance of the tower.
The Godly Dragon heir, Long Hu, was standing with his arms folded. He kept his eyes closed as if nothing else mattered for him. He looked like a proper warrior that wasn't to be offended.
A shining key could be seen in his hand. He had already located one of the keys, and now he was waiting here.
Standing in some distance was another white haired man who seemed to be in his early twenties.
Unlike the rough and brutal aura of Long Hu, he had a different kind of aura. His aura was very fierce and sharp, as if it could slice anything in half.
The man looked completely different from his aura. He appeared as a scholar, dressed in all white. He was carrying no weapons, but his hand also had a shining key.
Beside him, another person was standing there. It was none other than the Ice Phoenix that had lost one of the keys to Long Chen.
After losing the key, she had come back to this place. She already knew that two keys were here. The third was with Long Chen. She didn't want to search for another key and lose the opportunity of entering the tower with others.
"There they are!" She yelled, pointing towards Zhu Chang.
"Hmm?" Long Hu slowly opened his eyes as he lazily glanced at the incoming Zhu Chang.
"Zhu Chang, it seems you have indeed returned. I heard you had run away from home?" The white haired man asked Zhu Chang who landed with the others. "I thought you got cold feet because of the coming battles. Good to see that you've overcome the fear."
"Baihu Yang, it's not called running away from home. It's called going out to have some enjoyment," Zhu Chang replied. "As for getting cold feet? I don't think I see any reason to."
"It's good. You still have your wits, it seems." Baihu Yang smiled. "Leaving that aside, I heard that you took the key from Yui Ling? Now I don't care what you did to her. The three keys are here. Just open the entrance with us so we can get going."
Long Hu had been silent the entire time, simply observing the guests.
His eyes mostly rested on Long Chen.
Long Chen also didn't shy away, looking back. He even flashed a smile and waved his hand towards Long Hu.
Long Hu frowned, turning to Zhu Chang. "May I ask why a Demon and a human is traveling with you?"
"It's not a place where Demons should roam freely.. I said the same thing to him!" Yui Ling chimed in.
