Treasure
Beside the small gentle stream, the ground dragon was drinking water quietly, whose robust body was covered with scales.
Mo Yanyu was sitting upright in a sedan high on the ground dragon and playing a blue smoke bomb in her hand, lost in thought.
Recently, she was very much haunted by Shi Yan. Once she remembers that cold decisiveness in Shi Yan’s eyes, she couldn’t rest in peace. How she wished she could catch him and ruin his veins and bones.
Given Karu’s death, she had already released the medicine slaves who were now of no use.
With her were eleven warriors from the Mo Family who were only at Elementary Level. Their power was insufficient in helping Mo Yan Yu to search for Shi Yan. As such, she could only wait for the relief troops from the family.
All of a sudden, a pale blue light shot up across the sky some five miles ahead.
“They have arrived!” Mo Yan Yu’s spirit rose. She immediately threw the blue smoke bomb up into the sky, and thus the same pale blue light was seen above her.
The warriors around the ground dragon were in a lively outburst of happiness as they were getting ready for a sound fight.
In less than a quarter of an hour, three dark shadows showed up afar and flew in their direction. The first of them had a graceful beard and wore an indifferent smile. He approached near Mo Yan Yu and laughed loudly: “Yu, where is Master Karu?”
“Third uncle, Master Karu is dead.” Mo Yan Yu explained in a very unwilling manner, “We met a thief mid- way. He was only ranked Elementary, but still he was able to kill Master Karu. I just can’t figure it out.”
Mo Chaoge’s smile disappeared at once and his face turned pale: “Got the thing on Karu?”
Mo Yan Yu shook her head: “It was taken by that thief.”
“Stupid!”
Mo Chaoge cursed in a low voice. With a cold face, he observed: “We received information that Karu had stolen an incomplete picture of “Gate of Heaven” from his teacher. His teacher Mu Xun is looking for him everywhere for that incomplete picture. It is said, in the “God Area”, where the Gate of Heaven leads to, were martial skills of Spirit and even Sacred level! I came here in a hurry with two escorts just for that incomplete picture! But you let him die! How stupid!”
“What!” Mo Yan Yu was shocked, “How could that be!”
“Why would Karu leave the Medicine Valley with you if he hadn’t stolen that valuable picture from his teacher? You think he was attracted by the wealth of Mo Family? Humph. He was attempting to get a shelter in the Merchant Union, so that his teacher Mu Xun couldn’t kill him. ”
Mo Chaoge thought for a second seriously and reproached, “ Tell me the details. That man must be still in the dark forest. We have to find him! The picture matters a lot. We, the Mo Family, have to get it! ”
Mo Yan Yu started to realize how bad the situation was. She thus told him all the details, except that she was soiled by Shi Yan twice.
“Dumbass!” Mo Chaoge scolded again. He flew into a rage.: “You didn’t keep tracking him? That bastard is only ranked Elementary! No matter how he killed Karu, he must have paid a lot. He might have been hurt too. Chase him and you could have killed him easily! Too dumb!”
“I was afraid that we would lose more, so…”Mo Yan Yu lowered her head in shame.
“An Elementary guy, and you are afraid of him?”Mo Chaoge got annoyed, “You wasted so much resources of our Mo Family! What are you doing now? Show me the way! You! You! You! Bring the ground dragon back to the Merchant Union through the secure route. Others! Follow me and search!”
……
They looked for Shi Yan for two days but still got nothing.
Under the moonlight, Shi Yan was leaning against an ancient tree and in deep thought. He had decided to stop the chasing for the time being.
He took off Karu’s bag from his back and opened it to look into the contents.
Inside the bag were a volume of poison book, several bottles of poison refined by Karu, and two books about two martial skills of grade Mortal ---- “Dark Light Shield” and “Black Formula”.
Apart from those things, there was one dark yellow incomplete picture, on which were painted two hills. Shi Yan studied it for two days but found out nothing. So he didn’t take it seriously.
Of the two martial skills, to train “Black Formula” required a collection of “Black Qi” first. Thinking hard for two days, Shi Yan didn’t come up with any idea of where he could find the “Black Qi”, and so he soon forgot about it.
Fortunately, to train in the other martial skill “Dark Light Shield” didn’t require anything special. One simply needed to operate his Profound Qi according to the meridian map.
Thus Shi Yan took out the book of “Dark Light Shield” from the bag and started to train in it. He was determined to train in that skill and thus made every effort in remembering the mnemonics of the skill.
“Dark Light Shield” was a defensive martial skill. It used Profound Qi to form a layer of dark light around one’s body, in order to defend enemy’s assault. It was just a Mortal martial skill and needed no requirements but one--- flow of profound Qi.
Shi Yan packed the bag and observed the surroundings for a while. Assured that it was safe, he quietly climbed up a tree behind him, hid himself in the thickets, and started to train in “Dark Light Shield”.
After reaching level Nascent, his veins were as smooth as silk. Once he thought of moving his Profound Qi, it would immediately flow into the veins.
