Hua Yue

The sound of the explosion sounded in the whole forest. Although it is not that powerful, it still cause the surrounding to brighten up. The silent and peace night was disturb by the sound of the explosion causing some beasts in the forest to be agitated.

In the place where the members of Blood Hall gathered, the leader of the group was staring at the distance where the explosion happened. From the waves of qi that cause that explosion, he knew that his two brothers ended their life. Although he doesn't know what pushed them to suicide, he knew they must have encountered a powerful person.

"After what happened, they will definitely increase their guard while travelling" although he lost two of his brothers, there is no expression of anger on his face. The only thing that change is that the bloodthirsty aura around him intensified, "There is a small village ahead of their road. They will definitely stop there and resupply. We will take that time when they are in the village to set up an ambush ahead. Also, watch them carefully, I want to know who is this powerful person who caused our brothers to commit suicide"

"Yes, Eldest brother" a shadowy figure immediately move and disappeared.

------------------------------

Back in the camp site...

Because of what happened, everyone in the camp was on high alert. Multiple scouts were send and the guards who was sleeping have their eyes wide open. They knew how terrifying the Blood Hall was, if not for the loud shouts they heard. Some of them might be already on their way to the yellow springs.

Inside the white carriage, Elder Hua was sitting in front of a young lady. Beside the young lady was a young woman wearing a maid outfit. Old man Hua has a complicated look on his face as he listen.

"Grandpa Hua, don't worry about what happened. Even if they didn't take action now, they will still do it in the future. The blood feud of the Hua family and the Blood Hall is irreconcilable" the young lady said with her gentle yet cold voice. If one was to see her, they will definitely be shocked because of her beauty.

Elder Hua smiled helplessly and said, "Young lady don't worry, even if they come my first priority is your safety. But please when a time comes that I said you to run, you must listen to me and run. I have a feeling that we will be facing a formidable opponent ahead of us"

The young lady was the only daughter of the patriarch of the Hua family in the capital, Hua Yue. As one of the three great families in the Azure Dragon Empire, the Hua family has many allies at the same time enemies. Hua Yue grow up in the capital, but one month earlier she has to travel with the great elder in secret. The purpose of their travel was to visit a shrine which was said to be hiding a miraculous water. The said miraculous water rumored to have the ability to cure any kind of diseases and injuries.

But their travel that was supposedly to be a secret which only the high members of the family knew, was known by the Blood Hall. Their journey towards the shrine is successful and they also managed to get some of the miraculous water. But in their way towards the capital, they encountered many ambushes and already lost many men. One can easily realize that there is someone behind what was happening. And now that the Blood Hall revealed themselves, elder Hua knew that it will be difficult to return.

Noticing that Elder Hua have a blank look on his face, Hua Yue smiled and said, "Don't think to much about it grandpa Hua. What was supposed to happen will happen whatever we do. Let's talk about something else, I heard that the reason the people from the Blood Hall become exposed was because of a young man. Grandpa Hua tell me about that young man"

With Hua Yue changing the topic, Elder Hua slightly smile and stare at her. Of all the three children of the current patriarch of the Hua family. Hua Yue the only daughter is the one closest to him. Because great elder Hua was busy and serious about cultivation when he was young, he doesn't have a chance to find a partner. Now that he was over a hundred years old, the thought of having a children was already long gone. That's why he treated Hua Yue as his daughter since she was a child. They have a very close relationship that when her father the current patriarch wanted to arrange a marriage for her, great elder Hua instantly becomes infuriated and instantly decline the idea.

That's why when Hua Yue mentioned about the young man, his expression immediately changes, "That young man is different" there is uncertainty in his voice as if there is something he wans't clear about.

"What do you mean by different grandpa Hua?" Hua Yue said smilingly as this is the first time she saw her grandpa Hua makes this kind of face.

"That young man has no qi inside his body as if he was a mortal. But if you pay close attention to him, especially his eyes there is something special about him" Elder Hua said as he gently touch his beard.

"Something special? Grandpa Hua you said he has no qi and is a mortal, what can make you think that there is something special about him" Hua Yue said as she become even more curious about the young man.

"Yes there is no qi in his body, but his eyes were showing an absolute confidence to himself. Earlier when the two people from Blood Hall attack, their aim was him. He must be the reason on why they become exposed and decided to take his life. But that young man didn't even flinch even when all the killing aura of the two was focused on him. He was just there standing with a slight smile on his lips, and the look on his eyes where of that watching a show. It was as if everything that happened around him was a show, and everyone was just the performer. There is also one thing, when the two committed suicide by exploding their qi, even though I created a barrier to contain the explosion. Everyone around was thrown away, as he doesn't have any qi to protect himself and as a mortal. That explosion can severely injure him or kill him, but it did not. He was still there standing with the same expression on his face, there was not even a speck of dust in his clothes. It was like there is an invisible wall in front of him that shielded him from the explosion" Elder Hua said with a serious tone in his voice. As a cultivator who lived for over a hundreds of years, he has already seen many things that no other person see. But this is the first time he witnessed such a strange thing, which confuses his old mind.

Hearing what her grandpa Hua just said, Hua Yue's expression also turned serious. If someone had told her that a mortal can do those things, she will certainly not believe it. But it was different when it was her grandpa Hua, for her his words were always true. She will listen in whatever he said even if her father disagreed to it.

"What do you think we should do about him grandpa Hua?" she asked.

Elder Hua ponder for a moment and replied, "Right now we do nothing, I will observe his moves personally. If I sense that he has some ulterior motives against us, I will instantly take action"

"Okay" Hua Yue can only agreed. She knew that it was the best case if elder Hua would personally watch over the young man.
