Chapter 33
It was getting late into the night, almost midnight . Chu Yang sat on a large boulder with his arms wrapped around his knees . He was immersed in his memories with his clothes fluttering in the night wind and wrapping around him, making him look like solid pine stump .
Another two hours passed . The night’s sky was at its darkest .
Just as Chu Yang was about to stand up to go back to his room, he suddenly sensed something out of the ordinary! His gaze sharpened, and he focused on the mountain range on the right .
There was a small path leading from another mountain range into Beyond the Heavens Sect that very few people knew about .
Under Chu Yang’s intense gaze, there appeared three black shadows gliding forward as quickly as the wind at the foot of the mountain . In the shadows of the night, they appeared and disappeared like apparitions .
Chu Yang frowned, this was the best time for secretive actions! Moreover, this darkest window barely lasts an hour . These people clearly hid there earlier and waited till this hour to take action .
They absolutely had bad intentions!
Remembering Meng Chao Ran’s words about protecting Beyond the Heavens Sect, Chu Yang’s eyes narrowed . He stood up and like a comet, he shot forward . Stepping on the vertical cliff face a few times, he was finally at the foot of the mountain . Using the trees and shrubs as covering, he moved at the fastest possible speed in the direction of the three people .
Even though Chu Yang was currently only a first grade Martial Warrior, he was not afraid at all! If he could not fight them he certainly was capable of escaping . If these people truly had malicious intents, Chu Yang felt he needed to get involved to pay back his master and the sect .
After only a few moments of giving chase, he had already covered a few miles .
Chu Yang moved his body lightly . He was as flexible as smoke . If there was an expert watching him on the side, he would have been shocked . Every place Chu Yang stepped on was in an absolute blind spot . Even though his speed was extremely fast, he continually ended up in places that completely covered his body . The hiding spots that he only just found were actually impeccable positions! Being a few meters away, he could take one glance at the terrain ahead and immediately created a perfect plan of action!
Chu Yang kept moving forward; after chasing for about five or six miles, he could see the entrance to Beyond the Heavens Sect in the distance . He suddenly realized something and stopped charging forth . In a flash, his body blended with the shadows of the night . Afterward, he slowly moved forward along the mountain side, not making even the slightest sound…
The three shadows huddled in a crack on the mountain side and quietly waited .
Not too far in front of them was the entrance to Beyond the Heavens Sect, a place well-guarded day and night by many disciples . Each of the nine peaks sent one disciple to monitor each other as well as jointly guard the entrance .
With the exception of Purple Bamboo Garden, all nine peaks of Beyond the Heavens Sect were part of this mountain range .
These people obviously did not dare storm the entrance even though, in term of strength, they were probably not afraid of these disciples . However, if an altercation were to occur then they basically rustled the grass and scared the snake . (TLN: another saying, meaning acting rashly and alert the enemy)
It seemed that they were either waiting or planned to take some action right there . Chu Yang calculated silently . His body moved little by little in an extremely careful manner . He finally gained another three meters putting the distance between them at less than ten meters .
The three all had black scarves covering their faces . They carefully hid themselves behind a large boulder . When Chu Yang saw where they were hiding he could not help but praise them . It would seem this was not their first time here . The place where they were hiding was blocked off on all three sides with on one side facing toward two possible escape routes, one of which was very well hidden . In the case of some unintended event, they could still quickly escape without being surrounded by the enemies .
Chu Yang slowed his breathing almost stopping it . His body became an extension of the rock as he quietly waited . When it comes to patience, he was certain that there was no one under the heavens comparable to him .
Time slowly drifted when a thin one of the three, having little patience, asked in a low voice, “What’s going on here? Weren’t the appointment time clearly stated already? Why is that wretch not here yet?”
“Be a little patient, don’t be quick to have a temper . ” Another person in a black outfit looked around and gave warning . After that, he looked up again suspiciously and said, “Why do I feel like there are some little movements?”
Hearing this, the other two became alert as well . Their ears perked as they tried to listen to their surroundings .
Chu Yang maintained his breathing, and paid no more attention to their words than he would a passing breeze . He did not move .
This was a kind of sense, like when you are walking on a road alone and someone was following you, you can feel this without turning around . One does not have to be a martial artist, any regular person has this sensing ability . However, if one turns around and sees nothing, then one would just assume that such a sense was wrong .
Sure enough, the three looked around and were reassured . The black robed person who noticed something earlier now mocked himself and said, “I was just being paranoid . ”
“Caution is always a good thing . ” The other two said in low voices .
