Chapter 427 - Powerful Return (1/2)
As far as the Sacred Martial Hall martial artists, who were practicing martial dao in seclusion, were concerned, these two months were like a snap of a finger.
Sakra didn’t have the time to lament how quickly time flies. He returned to his original office, sat down on the sofa where Ferrero used to sit back in the day, and calmly gazed at Ferrero behind the desk, who had his eyes closed; he seemed to be cultivating martial dao.
One minute, ten minutes, an hour…three hours…five hours…
Ferrero could no longer continue to pretend to be in lonesome cultivation. He opened his long eyes and looked purposefully at Sakra Azia with some doubt. “Oh? Sakra, how come you had the time to come here?”
…
Sakra stared at Ferrero silently, his face saying, “Why are you asking when you know all about it?”
Ferrero was well aware of why Sakra was here; there was only one thing that could force him to come here and not utter a single word.
Xue Tian! This genius of learning who was even more terrifying than a computer; he had already given a serious blow to Sakra’s confidence in these two months.
Sakra remained silent for a while before speaking slowly, “He is very fearsome.”
A smile covered every corner of Ferrero’s face as he nodded and said, “He is indeed pretty good…”
The two heads glanced at each other and smiled wryly. Although they could teach Xue Tian many martial arts, the problem was that this young man’s absorption rate was simply too fast. Every time they saw his absorption rate they were pleasantly surprised, but at the same time, it would give them a serious blow.
Right at this moment, the wry smiles on the faces of two heads changed as they turned their gaze at the unlatched door.
In the next moment, the door was opened by someone. Xue Tian walked in with a wicked smile on his face. “Masters, I’m lucky to find you together.”
“Is something the matter?”
Ferrero mustered his courage and asked.
“A little matter, a little matter indeed.” Xue Tian rubbed his hands back and forth. “I have finished reading the book given by Master Sakra, I am in the need of something new. Give me a bit more this time, it tiring to run over every time.”
Ferrero took out a copy of Peerless Dual Blades of Eight Desolates while Sakra took out a copy of Brahma’s Blade of Lightning Hell.
Xue Tian, having taken the two secret books, still kept his hand stretched out with a wicked smile on his face.
After a few moments of silence, Ferrero took another secret book. “This is Six Harmonies that I deduced from Eight Desolates…”
“Great Lightning Hell…” Sakra similarly took out another book.
Xue Tian, having received the book, still didn’t leave; there was no change in his wicked grin. Ferrero immediately threw in two more books, the corner of his eyes twitching a few times. “Four Divine Beasts, Tai Chi…”
“Heaven and Hell, Lightning Hell…”
Four secret books but Xue Tian was still smiling wickedly. Ferrero’s face changed immediately; his golden long eyebrows stood erect as his intense emotion worth thousand, ten thousand words were expressed with one word.
“Roll!”
“Yes, Sir, I will roll out immediately.”
Xue Tian made a military salute indifferently, turned, and really ‘rolled’ out of the room. At the sight of this, the two heads really didn’t know what to do with this disciple of theirs.
“I am going to practice in seclusion.”
Having thrown this sentence, Sakra disappeared from the room in the next moment.
Ferrero gnashed his teeth in anger as he derided, “Shameless! You are actually using secluded cultivation to hide from Xue Tian! Now, it seems I have more courage than you. I have decided, I won’t be going into seclusion today for sure! It won’t be too late to enter seclusion tomorrow… right? Wu Zun!? Where is he going? Isn’t that the direction of Qin Fen’s residence!?”
Opening the doors of the room where he actually didn’t live for long, Qin Fen felt a surge of emotions as he gazed at the spotless residence.
Ever since he had joined the army, he never really had a stable place of residence, no matter whether he was a soldier, a police officer, or had entered the Sacred Martial Hall. They had been less stable than when he was a student.
But this life of a wanderer had an inexplicable charm, people even fell in love with it.
Stepping into the living room, Qin Fen took the magnetic disk that he had been holding for two months from his chest pocket and inserted into the projector’s disk reader.
A flickering distortion of light appeared in the air and soon stabilized into an unfamiliar but still a very memorable figure to Qin Fen.
The figure had a pair of eternal cold and deep eyes. His hands were crossed before his chest and he was wearing a neat and pressed uniform on which not a single crease could be found. Just looking at him would give chills.
Obviously, the figure in front of him was a human but Qin Fen felt that he was being stared at by a snake, a very insidious snake.
Snake King – Du Hen appeared in the projection just like his nickname.
“You have already finished practicing martial dao for some time. So, it’s time to return to Shengjing, there is an important combat mission.”
Snake King – Du Hen’s figure disappeared instantly after the short message.
Important combat mission!? Qin Fen put away the magnetic disc and sunk into his thoughts. Is the Federation core government really about to split? That’s impossible! Even if one or two divine beasts want to stand alone, there is the suppression of other divine beasts. I’m afraid it won’t be an easy thing. At the same time, it will also spook other divine beast martial artists who don’t want to split.
Apart from the split in the Federation, Qin Fen could hardly imagine any other important combat mission in the world.
Right at this moment, Wu Zun appeared as mysteriously as before, floating outside Qin Fen’s window. “Have you seen the message?”
“Mhmm.” Qin Fen was slightly taken aback. He had integrated the Godly Fists over these two months and to his surprise, he was still unable to sense the appearance of the opposite party. This guy’s strength is even more amazing than I had imagined.
Wu Zun kept floating outside the window; he didn’t enter Qin Fen’s room. He raised his head, looking at the countless twinkling stars in the sky. “When you see your brother, tell him I miss him very much.”
“What!?”
Upon listening to Wu Zun’s absent-minded sudden ramble, Qin Fen was startled at first but then his eyes lit up. “Do you know my brother?”
“Mhmm.” There was a peaceful smile on Wu Zun’s serious face. “He is more interesting than you.”
“Do you know where he is now then?” Qin Fen sounded anxious. He had forgotten about Qin Zhan while bitterly cultivating these days, but now that he was mentioned, the notion to look for his brother rapidly occupied his mind. “Is he Jupiter’s Azure Dragon?”
“Where he is?” Wu Zun shook his head. “I don’t know about this.”
“Whether he is Jupiter’s Azure Dragon?” Wu Zun shrugged his shoulder. “No one can be clear about this. The way to acknowledge divine beast martial artist is very special. If it wasn’t for the death of White Tiger, it would have continued that way. They didn’t need to acknowledge him face to face, it’s a tacit understanding. Even if they don’t know each other’s identity, they can feel each other’s existences and then, they can acknowledge him.”
Qin Fen’s enthusiasm may have been doused by a bucket of cold water but the flames in his heart had not been completely doused. It had been over six months since he had come to the Sacred Martial Hall but it was the first time he had heard of his elder brother; apparently, he had also been here.
“He is more interesting than you.” Wu Zun repeated his previous words. “Your performance is amazing, but the path you are taking is of complete honesty. Your brother is different, he can do whatever he wants.”
“Take the Secret Art Pavillion for instance.” A smile of recollection appeared on Wu Zun’s face. “You went in by taking on a teacher, you entered in a bright and candid manner. He, on the other hand, entered by himself, ignoring the rules of the Sacred Martial Hall. He stayed in the Secret Art Pavillion for many days and yet, no one found him. It wasn’t until he left did we know, and that was only because he left a note to let people know that he had been there.”
Sneaking into the Secret Art Pavillion!? Qin Fen had no choice look at his brother in a different light. That place uses copper and iron walls for defense, it wouldn’t be an overstatement to call it a dragnet and yet he sneaked into it and even stayed for many days without getting discovered, this was truly a feat as difficult as climbing up the sky.
“Then, why not strengthen the defenses?”
Qin Fen was a little confused. Quite of bit of Secret Art Pavillion loopholes are noticeable. Although they change them frequently, they have not made extensive changes. If someone has sneaked into it, then, why not modify them?
“Why do we need to modify them?” Wu Zun smiled. “Is there a second Qin Zhan in this world?”
Qin Fen also smiled. There was only one Qin Zhan in this world, so naturally, there could only be one person who could think of the method to break into the Secret Art Pavillion. So, why should he worry about the Sacred Martial Hall?
