“Ahhh---, this is nice! Finely a good bath! No longer using the fucking rivers.”
“Levis, use your energy, and infuse it first into the blu rock, then into the red one, if you can not do it well, I will help you.”
“Alright. Hmmm—, f-f-fire and w-wa-water, alright here we go-, a cold-cold, warm—, ah-ahh to hot, too hot—!!!”
“Aahaha— do not use too the fire one for so long, or you will get boiled alive!”
“Put more on the water, and regulated as to how you like it, once the water stops, use it again.”
“Alright, now I understand, how this “shower” works.”
Just before arriving, they did not endure much, as once Levis, Hubert, and Adrian settle in their assigned room, they immediately moved to the shower room. As Adrian and Hubert began to show and explain to Levis how the water could be turned on and warmed, from the strange red and blu stones protruding from the wall.
“New clothes!”
“Hmm? Did you say something?”
“We need to buy him new attires, he can not follow us, or the captain if he is dressed like this. I am sure that the captain and senior Wan, have some ideas, but tomorrow I will address this with them and see what is their opinion.”
However once they were done bathing, and the two men looked at Levis’s rustic clothes, it was hard to understand that the child before them, could be anything but a village boy, from some obscure village, and not a cultivator that could possibly cause a major event of unknown proportions.
Though as the two men were talking to one another, Levis could not care less about any of what they were saying, as he was looking out of the window of their room, to the city outside of the building and place he was in, which was bright and colorful, even as the night was in the full view, covering the sky, that was completely dark.
[Big, everything here is big! Big buildings, big walls, big flying ships, a big river, and a never-ending forest. Even now, we are in a room that is quite high in the air, and the water in the cleaning room can become quite hot. Is this what life is like when many people are living together? And so many cultivators, just as we had moved thru the city there had been hundreds of them and many far stronger than me. How powerful can one need to be, if he is at the head of this city?]
[At the King stage at the very minimum, ruling over tens or hundreds of thousands of people, requires power and influence that Immortal practitioners might not be able to garner.]
[They are the ones that can fly! When I will fly too, I will be just as powerful as them.]
[Yes, yes, enough dreaming of clouds and birds, time to train. Too bad that we are not close to the ground, but you can steal some from the ambiance, the concentration is five-time compared to the one you came from. Moderate yourself, and do not create a spectacle.]
“Levis!?”
[Yes, alright!]
“Levis!!”
“Eh? What?”
“You just seemed out of yourself, so I called you to remind you, that you should go to sleep. We might have tomorrow as a day of rest, but do not overexert yourself, you will visit the city tomorrow.”
“Mhhhu!”
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
While nodding to Adrian, he turned his attention towards the outside of the window one more time, as he chose a bed to lie in, while he took the energy shard and popped it into his mouth, as he began his night training, meanwhile the lights of the room were slowly turning off. However, he was not the only one to train, as both Adrian and Hubert began to do their own respective breathing techniques, while they enjoyed the abundance of energy in the room, provided by the Rud City’s Guard Branch.
[ [I can feel it! His fate is spreading over the place, it is like a spot of ink in water that dyes everything black, and many seemed to be touched by his fate.] ]
[ [I really hope you are right on this one—, because I am questioning if it is not stupidity, and not the grand future, that is truly dispersing around.] ]
[ [Wait and see.] ]
[ [---time.] ]
----------------------------------------
Though, as Levis and the others were in their sessions of cultivation, the city from that perspective did not truly rest, and just carried on. However, as time progressed, the sun was closing in, to break for a new day, and the lights begin to be turned off one after the other, as though, it was during the daytime, that the city could be said to be truly resting.
However, as the dark of the night still had some time before being all but gone, in the south of the city, in a building that was even more apparent, for its larger dimensions, while it was surrounded by an extensive space and many other numerous structures, as all in all, the confines occupied a significant land surface from the city.
Even so, in its underground area, at an unknown distance beneath the ground, two men in armors that had light verdant-green clothing underneath it, were silently remaining on their feet with their eyes close, just before an oversized stone door, as they appeared to be cultivating. Though what stood in their surrounding was a mist-like smoke that they were breathing in, as with every breath they were taking in, the mist was divided as though the men were two maelstroms that drew the mist towards themselves.
Yet, as it could not be understood, for how long the two men had been standing there, they continued to breathe the mist that was never diminishing in quantity.
Until the two of them opened their eyes at the same time, as the door was slowly opening, to reveal a haggard white cloth skinny man with droopy eyes, stained by red dots on his sleeves, the front of his upper and lower garments, giving the impression of a very lethargic and uncaring man.
“So?”
“Dead.”
“Dead!?”
“Yes. The dantian had been damaged beyond saving, even with my skills. Currently, it is dissipating, and more than half is already gone, by this afternoon it will be all but gone, and well, the energy will be collected by the formation. As for his body, all near critical injuries. However, it was his mind, that had been the fatal injury that had doomed him.”
“Nothing you could have done to save him?”
“Are you trying to insinuate that it is my fault?! You should have tried and saved him, if you think of yourself as a specialist in the field of healing arts, then please-, tsk---, even if an Emperor would have come here, he would still have died!”
“We need to rapport to the generals—, general immediately, we leave first for Green, then directly to Ten Tree City to make the report.”
“I agree. However, do you have any comments?”
“Comment!? Well, what can I say that other than whoever it has been that killed him, is a monster, strong enough to toy with a rank 4 King, but there is no need to say it because even you blockheads can understand that. Wait here, in an hour I will be done preparing the body, to be transported.”
“Understood!”
In the same manner, as his entrance, the man turned back as the doors closed behind him, while the two men continue to breathe in the mist, while they closed their eyes again, seeming as though they were sleeping on their feet, while a suffocating silence fell over the underground room, as no sound other than the mist and being absorbed by them could be heard.
----------------------------------------
However, even as the sun was just coming out to illuminate the city, in a dark alley hidden by the sun, two middle age men had a somber faces as they were facing downwards, with concern and fear towards the direction of the end of the alley, where nothing meaningful could be seen, as it was just the side of a building.
“What the fuck happened? How is he here? What are those two imbeciles of yours doing? Huuu—, answer me now!”
“This---, we had received information that they had been seen, but after that, no contact had been accomplished.”
“Fucking worthless morons, you derailed everything, and made this work even more dangerous as of now.”
“Calm down! You are stirring my protection---, now that this has happened it is just a matter of using the second plan, nothing more. Nothing had really changed, after all, the job remains the same as before.”
As the two men were staying still while facing no one, the angry voice of a man echoed in their ears, crushing onto their minds as though trying to kill them, but at the moment that their minds were almost ready to break from the pressure, they were saved by the voice of a woman, that began to calm down the angry man.
“Prepare the men you have under you, once they leave, you will follow them, make sure you do not get discovered. We will find you in a day from now, you can leave.”
With the words said by the woman, the two men left, though as they were still frightened by the man they did not raise their heads, even as they were leaving the alley, while they disappeared in the morning crowds.
----------------------------------------
“Fucking pieces of shit! Incompetent worthless morons!”
“Language and volume. It is your fault for not finding any good helpers, so pipe your mouth, your howling is irritating. Hmmm—.”
“Then why did not come and find some with me?”
“For your own stake in this, you have to do your part all alone.”
“Quiet! You two.”
Though even as the conversation in the alley was over, the two people that were ordering, the two men, were in fact, located several streets away, in a close local, at a table filled with food and bottles of an unknown alcohol.
“The job is still ongoing, just an unfortunate turn, nothing more, what do you think?”
However, the place was not occupied just by the angry man and the soothing woman, as a third and a fourth man were present too. The third man, was of a bigger build when compared with the first one. However even as he appeared to be calm, in truth, was like a masse of condensed stoic brutality.
“Just as you say, the job did not change, we already know what to do so stop howling as a dumb dog, or I will kill you.”
As for the fourth man, he was the only one that was not at the table, as he was resting his scrawny body on the couch, as though he was trying to sleep, but could not.
“Aah—, with you two here, there is nothing to the afraid of.”
“A mere rank 9 Immortal old man, I really want to see what he can do. Though I really want to see the face of East after I am done with this.”
At the words of the woman, the big man, confirmed his confidence to her, as small sparks of fire were erupting while he clenched his right hand into a fist, making the room brighter as the face of all four of them became illuminated by the sudden sources of light.
