Chapter 299 - Take an apprentice
Half of the small island that was located in the middle of two crossing rivers was lit by the light emitted by the flames of the spooky green bronze lamps. Dense streams of freezing yet immense power was rising directly into the air. The whole island seemed to have been isolated from the surrounding areas by the green light and those streams of power stream, into an independent, mysterious world.
In the bird nests built on the shoal, the baby chicks were now all huddled up under the wings of their parents and were afraid to move even a little bit. With the instinct that they possessed deeply in their bloodlines, these creatures had somehow perceived the existence of an extremely powerful and dreadful being in their immediate vicinity.
Candle Dragon Gui, that old legendary person, who was called Master Candle Dragon back in the Magi Palace, was now wearing a straw raincoat, and was walking creepily out of the woods near the river like a thief. He moved slowly into an bulrush wood, and carefully observed the small island through the gaps between those swaying bulrush leaves. That light of the gloomy green lamp made it so that he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows in excitement, and soon, he even began waving his arms and stepped slightly on his feet against the ground, nearly laughing out loud.
At the same time he was trying hard to contain his laughter, the handsome man in red cloak, who had been watching the fight between Dishi Yanluo and Emperor Shun while remaining hidden in the void, appeared behind Candle Dragon Gui, just like a ghost.
As the most respected and eldest elder of the Magi Palace, and minister of the human Emperor, and the master Maguspriest of the Candle Dragon Clan, which was the most mysterious one among all the human clans, Candle Dragon Gui didn’t get even perceived the slightest sense of someone appearing right behind his back.
He was still observing with all his focus every single move made by Taisi in front of the altar, on the small island, while chuckling slightly.
“Good, talented boy, very, very talented, haha, if I can take him back and tutor him for a few years, another marvellous, young hero will probably emerge from our human race! Ha, at that time, even the eyeballs of those bloody little idiots would pop out!”
The red cloaked young man had already raised a long sword that was sparkling with a magical light behind Candle Dragon Gui and was preparing to behead him, but hearing his murmur, the fierce killing aura surrounding that young man disappeared instantly.
He thrust the long sword conveniently back into his sleeve. The corners of the red cloaked young man’s mouth curved slightly. He pressed both his hands silently and lightly on Candle Dragon’s shoulders and abruptly pressed him down into the puddle of mud, which was beside the river, then threw a heavy punch on his head.
Poor Candle Dragon Gui…back in Pu Ban City even Emperor Shun wouldn’t talk loud in front of him. As the most respected elder among the entire human race, he had directly been knocked out by the red cloaked young man. With the powerful bloodline of the Candle Dragon Clan, his body was incomparably strong and solid, nearly indestructible, however, he was knocked out straight in a puddle of mud beside the river by the red cloaked young man, without even twitching.
“You little bastard…you should be glad that you were not thinking about taking the same boy as your apprentice as I am. Hm, that boy is mine. Anyone who wants him as well, you can just try if you’re not afraid of death.”
The young man rolled up his wide sleeves, showing a pair of tender arms. He then took out a purple calabash, his face filled with struggle and unhappiness. Grimacing and showing his gritted teeth, this young man carefully unplugged the calabash and took a tiny sip of wine contained in it. At that moment he lost his self-control a bit and took another slightly bigger sip, then another sip. After nine sips, not the single drop of wine was left in that calabash.
“Ah! That big brother of mine really is lazy! This time when I return, I will certainly smash his pill cauldron and force him to make more wine!” Complained the young man while raising his head and looking at the sky sorrowfully, “It would be fine if I was the only bibulous one, but, I have a bunch of apprentices and all of them are like, living on alcohol! If my big brother doesn't make more wine for me, I will have nothing to treat them when I call them together for a lecture!”
Signing, red cloaked young man narrowed his eyes and began observing the six young people, who were standing in the middle of the small island.
Gradually, terrifying scenes that happened when this world was first opened, emerged in the young man’s eyes. Roaring tsunamis, flame streams swooshing across the air along with hurricanes, spaces, time, and the natural power appeared one after another. Clear and positive power rose into the air while muddy and negative power descended into the ground; within the vast and pure, newly emerged natural power, an enormous human silhouette flashed across.
Gui Ling appeared silently behind that red cloaked young man. She chuckled and said in a low voice, “Dear master, all those kids are great.”
