Chapter 20- Lan Chu Die and Du Yi Shuang
After meditating, Su Mu was done refining the maximum amount of Sword Qi that his body was able to handle along with a lot of Yang Qi condensed into the Yang liquid inside his Dantian to replenish his Yang Qi if needed.
Suddenly, he heard a sound from the Blood Battle Group. It was time for the 50 people from the Bloody Battle Group to enter Heaven's Cave Mansion.
Naturally, these conditions were made while the three Sects had their discussions. Blood Battle Group wished to monopolize the whole Heaven's Cave Inheritance. However, with the other two Sects present, that was simply impossible. Similarly, although High Heaven Pavilion and Storm House both desired the treasures inside the Heaven's Cave Inheritance, Hu Man and the experts from the Blood Battle Group could not simply allow these intruders to take advantage of them. As a result, the schools agreed to pay 1 million in cash and allow the Blood Battle Group to send 50 of their disciples to enter the Heaven's Cave Inheritance six hours earlier as compensation.
Su Mu was naturally not worried about the 50 people going before him. From what he learned at the entrance, to unlock the real inheritance, they need to kill nine monster beasts, which was nothing short of impossible with only fifty disciples of the Blood Battle Group. As for the other inheritances, Su Mu wasn't the least interested in them.
Being the Young Ladies of the Blood Battle Group, both Hu Jiao'er and Hu Mei'er were the centre of the 50 disciples.
Both sisters look exactly alike. Similar to twins. They were both gorgeous individuals, who would attract any kind of male. Their beauty certainly reached the level whereby males would gratefully throw their lives away to gain the sisters' affection. Naturally, if one were to win either one of their hearts, the man would certainly die without regrets.
'Only if they knew that both of them have been conquered by that playboy brat.' Meng Wuya cursed internally, looking at the scene. He wished that his disciple will notice Su Mu's true nature but alas, he doubted she would mind anything Su Mu does at this point.
In a short time, half of the 50 people entered the cave and disappeared without a trace. When the Blood Battle Group's disciples entered the cave, the disciples from the High Heaven Pavilion felt low-spirited.
Suddenly, a form appeared, flying at high speed towards the sky above the cave.
Hu Man and many other experts instinctively shouted, "Who dares?"
"Naturally, it's me!" Meng Wuya shouted in an angry tone as his raging pupils fiercely stared at the Blood Battle Group's experts. He waved his hand and gently shouted. "Come here."
Hu Man and the other experts from Blood Battle Group stared at this approaching figure. As Hu Man had expected, she was a beautiful girl! Although her face was covered by a veil and most of her features were hidden, her limpid clear eyes and gracefully enchanting stature were not something an ordinary girl could possess. However, her beauty was not the only thing that shocked Hu Man. The girl's strength was astounding! Unexpectedly, she was at the True Element Realm!
Hu Man looked towards Long Zai Tian with discontented eyes. The man cursed, "Look at what your grandson has done!"
Long Zai Tian did not reply. Instead, he stared with a gaze filled with hatred towards the pair of master and disciple. However, he was unable to unleash his rage. Meng Wuya's strength far exceeded his. If he were to enact his revenge for his grandson right now, he would certainly die without a corpse. It was hopeless!
"My precious disciple," Meng Wuya said with a gentle tone. He pointed towards the cave, "There are great opportunities there. So go!"
Xia Ning Chang nodded aggressively. She took a glance at the light barrier. Quickly, her gaze scanned around her surrounding as though she was looking for someone. Unfortunately, it was currently nightfall and she was unable to find the person she was looking for.
Noticing her actions, Meng Wuya once again urged Xia Ning Chang to quickly enter the cave. Not daring to oppose her Master, Xia Ning Chang bit her lips with a painful expression and flew into the cave.
From the beginning to the end, none of the Blood Battle Group took action against those two. Nobody dared to oppose Meng Wuya.
Likewise, Wei Xitong and the other 4 Elders looked at this scene and were speechless! They had never known that the man acting as the Contribution Hall's Store Keeper would be unexpectedly so aggressive! Even in the face of the entire Blood Battle Group, he had a calm composure. With just a few words, he had completely overridden the agreement between the three Sects. Allowing his disciple to enter the cave without any repercussions from Hu Man and the others.
To equal this, Hu Man stopped Long Jun, Long Zai Tian's grandson from entering with the 50 disciples to make it even.
Long Jun was extremely excited about this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to enter the Heaven's Cave Inheritance. He had hoped to inherit the skills and knowledge left by the cultivator who made this cave. However, just when he was about to enter the cave and get a head start, Hu Man's order resonated inside his ears. The boy quickly looked towards his grandfather with pleading eyes. Unfortunately, Long Zai Tian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and spoke without any strength. "As Group Master Hu has said, Long Jun, you shall wait for half a day."
Long Jun clenched his teeth and muttered. "Yes!"
Hu Man looked up at Meng Wuya with a smile plastered on his face. "Senior, is this arrangement satisfactory?"
Meng Wuya responded with a strange smile. "Of course I'm satisfied. However, once my disciple returns and complains to me about anyone who offended her, I hope that you will not take my actions as hostility towards you." nove(l)bi(n.)com
Hu Man's complexion drastically changed. Although he had a smile plastered on his face, he was secretly hiding the hostility within his heart. He gave a hollowed laugh. "Of course!"
'My god, now we have to tell everyone that if they were to bump into that girl inside, they must treat her with the utmost respect. We definitely cannot allow her to encounter any form of danger!' Hu Man thought.
Thus, without any further delay, Hu Man quickly spread this warning to the rest of the Blood Battle Group's disciples.
To see Meng Wuya as such a strong figure; made all High Heaven Pavilion disciples along with Yang Kai surprised. Who would have thought that the lewd Storekeeper was so powerful and tyrannical? Even the Great Elder Wei Xitong cannot make Hu Man so obedient.
After a while, the place became tranquil again. All of the disciples continued to focus on meditation, waiting for the time to arrive. They all wish to be in their best condition to get the greatest chance of receiving the inheritance.
Suddenly, Su Xuan Wu sighed. "We can't say for certain that the loss of our disciples will account for our gain in treasures." The one he was most worried about was his grandson, Su Mu. He knew that Su Yan can manage herself and lead other disciples as well, but he wasn't sure about how Su Mu would do, although his cultivation has increased drastically in the past few months. But he couldn't stop Su Mu from entering the Cave because that was Su Mu's decision, not his.
On the other hand, Wei Xitong was more hopeful. "Inside, if one can obtain the inheritance, he would certainly become a person of tremendous potential and ability. Far surpassing us!"
"Let's just hope so"
The dim light from the night sky and the rustling of the forest wind continued as time slowly passed. Suddenly, experts from three Sects shouted out, alerting everyone that it was time. Simultaneously, all the disciples woke up.
The Blood Battle Group's elite disciples have already been inside for half a day. It was time for the whole group to enter the cave!
From High Heaven Pavilion, Su Yan and Xia Hong Chen, a disciple who recently broke through the True Element Realm, took the lead. Behind them were two lines of disciples that formed in an orderly manner. They all took their turn to walk into the cave and vanish from sight.
Unsurprisingly, the girl who was giving Su Mu constant gazes throughout the night was standing next to him.
Su Mu naturally jumped together with the girl standing next to him.
'Here it is.' Just as the teleportation began, Su Mu condensed a beam of Yang Qi before launching it towards his back, interrupting the teleportation process while he was teleported to his desired location. He already had a general idea of where different kinds of inheritances were, so he chose a rather risk-free area to land that was near a Monster Beast's den. The Monster Beast wasn't that strong, only comparable to the 9th Stage of Separation and Reunion Realm.
Although this little stunt most likely ruined the teleportation pattern set by the Inheritance Cave beforehand. Originally, the participants were supposed to be sorted out and teleported according to their cultivation, giving them the highest chance to survive in groups, but Su Mu didn't care all that much about it. Those who are destined to survive will naturally find a way to overcome difficulties.
At first, Su Mu was thinking about teleporting along with the girl who was next to him, but he decided against it. His goal inside the Heaven's Inheritance Cave was the Golden Divine Dragon's Source along with Su Yan.
'Let's go Monster Beast hunting after cultivating for a while.' Su Mu thought, looking around the place for a few hours before he found a well-hidden spot to cultivate. On his way, he also picked some herbs that might come in handy when needed.
Placing his sword next to him, Su Mu sat cross-legged on the ground before he started meditating. The World Energy around him started pouring into his body.
And so, three days passed.
"Haaaah~" With a yawn, Su Mu stretched his back while getting up.
"It feels like I'm rushing through this world." He muttered with a smile, picking up the sword on the ground before walking towards the mountain that was not too far away from him.
In the past three days, he has reached the 4th Stage of Qi Transformation. During that time, Su Mu once checked up on Hu Mei'er and Hu Jiao'er as well just to make sure that they were together.
Entering the narrow cave on the side of the mountain, Su Mu started walking inside.
'This smell. Pills? Was someone teleported inside this den?' Su Mu thought. The den was quite deep for sounds to reach outside, so he wasn't aware of what happened inside within the past few days. Soon, Su Mu noticed the faint breathing of two people, so he decided to head that way. The people here were quite deep within the den, so for someone without their Divine Sense or extraordinary senses like Su Mu, it'll be impossible for them to escape with anything but sheer luck.
"Who's there?" Hearing a shout, Su Mu walked out of the dark tunnel, revealing his face to the opposing party of two beautiful girls.
Surprisingly, it was the girl with big breasts who jumped along with Su Mu and a female disciple from the Storm Hall.
"Young Master Su." The High Heaven Pavilion's disciple exclaimed with a smile.
"And you are?" Su Mu asked without replying, making the girl's face a bit gloomy.
"I am Fellow Apprentice Lan Chu Die, Qi Transformation 7th Stage." Lan Chu Die replied, cupping her fists. With her sharp mind, she of course knew who Su Mu was and what his status was within the High Heaven Pavilion. Not only was he the Second Elder's grandson and Su Yan's younger brother, but he was also related to that mysterious and powerful Treasurer Meng.
Nodding, Su Mu turned towards the female disciple from the Storm Hall. Her stature was quite slender, and was not tall but looked delicate. Moreover, ever since he first arrived, she had a shivering smile on her face. It was obvious that this girl was extremely shy as she even avoided eye contact with Su Mu.
"I'm called Du Yi Shuang. I am from Storm House. Please call me Little Sister Du. I am at the Qi Transformation 6th Stage. Nice to meet you, Young Master Su." Du Yishuang lowered her head respectfully. After hearing about how Lan Chu Die was trying to flatter Su Mu, she understood that the latter's status was not low, and she remembered him standing next to the elders from the three Sects, so she didn't dare to be disrespectful.
Well, one had to admit that Du Yi Shuang's cultivation surely didn't match her delicate appearance, to say the least. Although she looked younger than Lan Chu Die, Su Mu could tell that this girl was the same age as Lan Chu Die, which made her 19 years old.
Looking at their appearance, Su Mu could tell that the past three days weren't easy for them. Their bodies were covered in light bruises and their clothes were messed up and dirty.
"There's no need to be so polite, my cultivation isn't all that high, I'm also in the Qi Transformation Realm similar to the two of you. Anyway, what happened to you guys?" Su Mu asked, looking at the two of them.
"Actually, the two of us were teleported inside this place when we entered the Inheritance Cave. At first, we were looking for an exit before a Peak 4th Order Monster Beast appeared and started chasing us. Things only got worse when several 2nd and 3rd Order Monster Beasts also started appearing everywhere. All we did after entering the Inheritance Cave was run away from Monster Beasts." Lan Chu Die explained. A Peak 4th Order Monster Beast was comparable to a Peak Separation and Reunion Realm Cultivator, Lan Chu Die and Du Yi Shuang couldn't defeat it on their own.
'This place should've been raided by several Separation and Reunion Realm Cultivators. These two are lucky to just survive three days in this place.' Su Mu thought. Looks like the three Sects will all suffer some heavy losses.
"The reason we were able to survive was that there is a pattern in the Monster Beast's attack. According to that pattern, it'll attack after another three hours." Du Yi Shuang added, making Lan Chu Die nod.
