Chapter 791: Allure.
Shi Lang took a left turn and rushed through the thicket. His speed was not slow, but he could sense a pair of eyes set upon him. It was not a legendary beast, but it was a spirit beast. This thing seemed excited after discovering Shi Lang and chased after him very quickly.
Shi Lang did not wish to fight with this guy because he could tell that it was a spirit beast emperor. He was strong but his spiritual energy was sealed and he would not be able to keep up with the stealthy approach. Even if he used his spiritual energy, the outburst would alert the Legendary beasts.
Just when he was thinking what he should do, when the voice in his mind said, "Stop thinking and run up the mountain before you. That Beast Emperor will catch up to you in seventy seconds."
Shi Lang felt his heart pick up the pace. He gave up the restrains and began to use the kinetic boost in his battle suit. His leaps became larger and his speed became faster. He leaped on the mountain side as if a ram.
Just when he was about to reach the top of the mountain he caught the sight of the enemy behind him. Shi Lang swore that this was the first time he had seen a beast that had a lion head but deer antlers coming out of its forehead.
He quickly climbed the mountain and the voice in his head said, "Do you see the other side of the summit?"
Shi Lang found that the summit was not wide, and forty meters away from him was the other end. He rushed and then heard the voice said, "Jump from there."
For a moment, Shi Lang hesitated and then he decided to see things through and rushed toward the cliff to the best of his ability. He covered forty meters distance in two steps and then his figure leaped off the cliff in full momentum.
Shi Lang looked down and gulped, the distance from the ground was almost three kilometers. He did not realize this when he climbed the top of the mountain blinking. While he was falling down, he managed to twist his body and look at the beast exploding into a bloody mess.
...
Shi Tao was following Fairy Moon Jade to the front and while traveling she was watching everything that Shi Lang suffered from on a small monitor. Moon Jade asked her, "Did you give a similar device to Amelia?"
Shi Tao shook her head and replied, "Mom does not have the patience to look at him going through all the trouble. She never watched any of his mission videos in the lower realm either. However, Hao Mie is very interested in the technology so I gave her a device."
Fairy Moon Jade nodded and said, "Xiao Yu is more like your father. While Xiao Mei shows a lot of his wisdom in her character."
Shi Tao nodded and said, "Xiao Yu has the potential to grow into one of the most feared cultivators in the world and Xiao Mei is capable of growing into a big person who could support many organizations on her own. However, that time is still far away."
Fairy Moon Jade nodded silently. They were moving on a spirit vessel, because Fairy Moon Jade was not feeling well enough to go back to the front. She asked, "Tao, how confident you are in taking control of the army once we get back?"
Shi Tao thought and said, "If I can beat up the strong contenders it will be settled quickly. If I am not allowed to fight with them, just give me a small contingent of women, I will tame the men."
Fairy Moon Jade nodded and then she fell silent to look at the horizon. Shi Tao noticed the oddity in her mood and put away her device as she said, "You are missing Senior Tian Long?"
Fairy Moon Jade nodded and replied, "Yes, I am."
Shi Tao continued, "It is good that you are acknowledging this matter straight forwardly. However, if you stay gloomy things will not turn good."
Fairy Moon Jade looked at her and Shi Tao said, "Senior, I do not mean to lecture you on the state of mind. You have every right to feel the way you are feeling right now. I just hope that you know, this vulnerability should not be showed to the rest of the world."
The lady understood what Shi Tao meant and nodded. She said, "Thank you, Tao. I seemed to have forgotten this fact. After all, these past few days many people treated me with great care and pampered me a lot."
Shi Tao nodded and said, "It was what we all do for the ones we care about. Things will be better soon. Just now Baba avoided getting chased down by a Spirit Beast Emperor. Also, I received a footage from a few of the nano-probes, there seemed to be many legendary beasts in the region."
Fairy Moon Jade was curious and asked, "Show me what is going on."
Shi Tao nodded and handed her the device as she taught her how to use it. She used this trick to make sure that Fairy Moon Jade was distracted and not feel blue.
...
Shi Lang fell through the void and just when he was about to reach the ground, he took out a hover board and the levitation feature kicked in. However, the momentum of the freefall was too strong and even after the recoil force of the hover board he landed hard on the ground.
After getting a grip of himself, he sighed in gratitude that his body was intact and he did not suffer anything more than sprained muscles.
After checking himself, when he turned his head around to check his surroundings he was stunned. He was standing inside a valley located between five mountains. His could not help but think that the place was familiar.
Just when he was thinking about the relevance of this place a calm voice sounded from the side, "Finally, the master of those clones."
The Terran reacted quickly and turned to the side as he assumed a battle stance. He spotted a lady sitting atop a boulder with her white hair falling over her shoulders like a snowy waterfall. Her beauty could not be defined with mere words. Shi Lang could swear that he never saw someone like her.
His heart that was usually stable was trembling. However, he quickly started chanting the Shura Sutra. He needed to calm his mind before anything else. This woman had the power to kill him with just a glance.
The lady noticed this and she nodded in approval. She commented, "You are indeed quick with your wit, human."
Shi Lang finished one cycle before he opened his eyes and greeted the lady with cupped fist and bowed head, "Greetings, Senior."
The lady smiled faintly and asked, "You do not wish to discriminate with me because I am a spirit beast or is it because you are scared of me?"
Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "Senior, I am not the one who discriminates in Humans or Spirit beast. We all cultivate to break the shackles set upon us. Also, yes, you are very strong and that is why I am afraid of you too."
The lady nodded and said, "I am Allure. You must have heard of me."
Shi Lang nodded and replied, "Indeed, I have. You are the personage who helped my clones gain enlightenment."
Allure nodded and said, "So, what brings you here in the depth of the Titan Mountains?"
Shi Lang sighed and replied, "I am searching for a tomb as you know, the movement in the jade ball was to lead me to the tomb but you stopped me from walking into the death trap."
Allure shook her head, Shi Lang could not help but feel worried about himself. Every movement she did, it carried the charm of Dao. She was on a level where a glance from her could make people give up their lives and they would not even realize.
She said, "You were not wrong, there is indeed a tomb in that location. It belongs to the human expert who ventured here in the past. However, now that tomb is a lair of defected Spirit beasts."
Shi Lang was surprised but given the sudden appearance of that beast emperor just now, it was true that Allure was not lying to him. He asked, "Senior, is there any way to defeat them? That tomb holds something of great importance to me."
Allure smiled and said, "I can sense the presence of another soul on you. That tomb might have the inheritance left behind by that human expert. However, you will not find it so easily. You will need to do something for me before you can get to the inheritance."
Shi Lang was confused but given that this was his only option, he asked, "Senior, what do you need me to do?"
