The seven of them did not speak anymore. They stood there and waited anxiously. An hour passed, but the Genuine Qi remained unchanged. The atmosphere in the grotto became extremely heavy. Everyone's patience was disappearing little by little. Finally, when Xi Wen was about to lose his patience, Dumb let out a long sigh. The faint light emitted from his body suddenly shrank, and he slowly opened his eyes.
It was as if two cold stars suddenly appeared in the grotto. The penetrating gaze made Xi Wen and the other seven people startled at the same time.
Dumb finally woke up. Tiangang Kensei's last effort did not go to waste. He successfully compressed and condensed all the power in his body into Dumb's body. The milky white, crystal-like Sancun Golden Body floated on Dumb's chest. Apart from the extra Golden Body, Dumb did not feel any other changes. The inch-high silver Golden Body in his Dantian remained the same, but it seemed to be more lustrous. At the end of his cultivation, he suddenly felt that his mind had become clearer. It was as if there were short scenes flashing through his mind. The scenes were filled with blood and slaughter. He tried hard to recall them, but he could not grasp the exact content of the scenes. After trying several times to no avail, he had no choice but to give up. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that his seven Uncle Masters were standing in the grotto, staring at him. He quickly stood up and floated to the ground. "Uncle Masters, why are you here?" Landing on the ground, Dumb found that his original cloth clothes were full of dried blood. It was hard and a little sticky, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to his skin.
Xi Wen did not have time to pay attention to the changes in his body. He hurriedly asked, "Dumb, where is your Grandmaster? Where is he?"
At the same time, Dumby also realized this problem. He looked around, but there was no sign of the Celestial Dipper Sword Saint. He said sadly, "Grandmaster said that he wanted to go to another world. It seems to be the world of gods. Has he already left?" Thinking about how he wouldn't be able to see the Celestial Dipper Sword Saint for a short period of time, he couldn't help but feel sad.
"God Realm? Master said he wanted to go to the Divine Realm. Dumb, what did Master say to you? "Xi Wen, who had always been steady, no longer cared about his manners. He grabbed Dumb's shoulder and asked.
"Don't be anxious, Eldest Martial Uncle. Grandmaster said that he was too old to survive in this world. He had to go to another world to have a new breakthrough … "Dumb roughly repeated what Tiangang Kensei had said before.
Xi Wen and the others looked at each other. Not only were they surprised that Tiangang Kensei had passed all his skills to Dumb, but they were also surprised that Tiangang Kensei had left behind his words. Ascending to the God Realm? If that was really the case, then Master wasn't dead!
Lu Wen muttered, "Eldest Senior Brother, since Master said that he could ascend to the God Realm, I think it's very possible. With Master's cultivation, there's almost no one on the continent who can rival him. Even the Divine Realm won't be much stronger than Master. It seems that we should be happy for Master.
Xi Wen nodded slightly. After all, they hadn't found Tiangang Kensei's corpse. The white light that flashed in the grotto seemed to be a sign of ascension. All these brought hope to everyone. He sighed and said, "Regardless of whether Master passed away or ascended to the God Realm, we won't be able to see him again. Junior Brothers, let us respectfully send him off. "As he said this, he took the lead and knelt down, kowtowing. The others, including Dumb, knelt down without hesitation. In a short while, eight deep pits appeared on the ground.
After a long time, Lu Wen straightened his upper body and put his hands together in front of his chest with red eyes. "Master, you can go in peace. Don't worry. As long as we Senior Brothers are here, we will definitely make Tiangang School develop according to your wishes. I hope that you can rest in peace in heaven. If you really go to another world, we will always bless you.
Dumb asked curiously, "Martial Uncle, Grandmaster has indeed gone to another world. You, why did you …" After hearing Xi Wen's words, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Xi Wen shook his head slightly and said, "Dumb, don't say anymore. Let's leave this place first." He stood up and pulled Dumb up. Dumb looked at his martial uncles' sorrowful faces in confusion, and said to Tiangang Kensei, "Grandmaster, you should go to the Heavenly Realm first. When Dumb's power is enough, I will definitely come find you." After saying that, he flew to the Yanshi he was sitting on, put away the Light Armor, the Eye of the Serpent, and the Hades Sword, and floated to the sleeping Holy Evil. He took out the Blood of the Divine Dragon from his collar and said, "With the Blood of the Divine Dragon as a guide, open the gate of time and space." After practicing the Life Chant to the eighth stage, not only did Dumb's internal energy become more vigorous, but because practicing the Life Chant mainly focused on the training of mental power, it allowed for better control of Dou Qi. Therefore, Dumb's mental power also improved by quite a bit. Now, he could control the Blood of the Divine Dragon more easily. A blue halo floated out from the Blood of the Divine Dragon and enveloped the Holy Evil's body. With a flash of light, the Holy Evil disappeared. Dumb felt that the Blood of the Divine Dragon once again had life energy.
With a heavy heart, Xi Wen and the others brought Dumby back to the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect. Dumby first washed away the bloodstains on his body and put on the Giant Spirit Serpent Armor given to him by the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect. This was a full body armor. Aside from the head, hands, and feet, it covered every other part of his body. After wearing it, it was as if it was a part of his body. No matter how he moved, it wouldn't affect him in the slightest. After tying the Hell King Sword's leather pouch on the light armor, Dumby put on his ordinary clothes.
Without the Tiangang Sword on his back, Dumb's current attire was no different from that of an ordinary farmer. However, his temperament was completely different. Compared to ordinary people, there was a different kind of aura about him.
In the main hall of the Heavenly Dipper Sword Faction, Xi Wen sat at the head of the table while the other six second generation disciples sat below him. All of them had very solemn expressions on their faces. The main reason why the Heavenly Dipper Sword Faction was able to achieve what it was today was because of the existence of a super expert — the Heavenly Dipper Sword Saint. But now, regardless of whether the Heavenly Dipper Sword Saint passed away or ascended to the Divine World, the Heavenly Dipper Sword Faction would lose his protection.
Dumb stood beside Lu Wen, and the heavy atmosphere in the main hall made him feel as if he couldn't breathe. After a while. Xi Wen opened his mouth and said, "Fellow Brothers and Sisters, since Master has passed away, we must take responsibility for everything in the Sword Faction. This matter must be kept a secret. Seventh Brother, especially you. You're an impulsive person, and it's easy for you to slip up. From now on, you must be careful. Don't inform Second Brother for the time being. He's not young anymore, and I'm afraid he won't be able to take it if he knows about Master's situation. "
Zhou Wen nodded solemnly and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, don't worry. I'll definitely be careful. "
Xi Wen sighed and said, "Dumb, since Master has imparted all his skills to you, you will have a heavy burden on your shoulders. Do you understand?"
Dumb lowered his head and said, "Eldest Senior Uncle, don't worry. No matter when. As long as the Sword Faction is in trouble, I will definitely rush back as fast as I can. "
Xi Wen said, "I know you have many things to do. Including avenging your Master, Owen. We won't keep you any longer. However, you must remember that no matter where you go, you must hold yourself to the standards of a Tiangang School disciple. If you do anything evil, we won't let you off. "Xi Wen's tone became stern when he said the last sentence.
Dumby didn't answer. He just nodded silently.
Lu Wen said, "Alright, I'll be troubling you then, Fourth Brother. From tomorrow onwards, the seven of us and the third generation disciples who have reached the sixth stage of the Birth Mantra will practice the Birth Mantra left behind by Master together so that the Sword Faction's strength can be improved faster. At the same time, Junior Brothers must supervise and urge their disciples to practice harder. "
"Yes, Sect Leader Senior Brother."
Lu Wen led Dumb out of the hall and reminded him as they walked, "Dumb, be careful on the road. If there's anything you can't handle, we'll come. This will always be your home. "
Dumb's eyes turned red as he thought of all the sacrifices Tiangang Kensei had made for him. His heart was filled with sadness. "Fourth Uncle, after I avenge Uncle Owen, I'll definitely come back to see you."
Lu Wen stuffed a wooden tube into Dumb's hands and said, "When necessary, you just need to pull out the cork on the tube and inject Vital Energy into it. Then, you can send a signal to gather your fellow disciples. The disciples within a hundred miles will definitely rush to help you. "
Dumb took the wooden tube and put it into the Blood of the Dragon God. The function of this wooden tube seemed to be similar to the scroll that Xuan Ye gave him.
At this time, they had already arrived at the room where Yanshi and Yan Li lived. Lu Wen knocked on the door a few times and Yanshi's deep voice came from the room. "Who is it?"
Dumb hurriedly said, "Big Brother Yan Li, it's me. Dumb. "
The door opened and Yanshi and Yan Li walked out. When they saw Lu Wen, they hurriedly bowed. Lu Wen smiled and said, "Alright, you brothers don't have to be so polite. Pack up and follow Dumb down the mountain. Xi Wen will give them pointers on martial arts. However, they have always been free, so they've already grown impatient. Traveling around the continent is what they yearn for.
"Dumb, is the Sword Saint willing to let you go?" Yan Li asked.
Dumby looked at Lu Wen, nodded and said, "That's right! It's been more than half a year. It's time for us to help the elves search for their people. Otherwise, it won't be good if we delay things. "
Lu Wen said, "Alright, I'll go back first. You don't have to bid farewell to us when you leave. Be careful on the road and don't be rash if you encounter any problems. "With that, he patted Dumb's shoulder and turned to leave.
After watching Lu Wen's silhouette disappear, Yanshi laughed and said, "Dumb, we can finally go. It's really stuffy here! Come, enter the house first. We'll tidy up first. "
The room that the Yanshi Brothers stayed in was very simple. There were only two beds, a table and some daily necessities. As Yanshi tidied up his clothes, he said, "Dumb, you've changed a lot in this half a year! The skill you used to cut the snakeskin yesterday was really amazing. If you use it to attack the enemy, the power will definitely be even greater. "
Dumb scratched his head and said, "Big Brother, you're flattering me. You're also very amazing! "
Yan Li had already packed up and returned his belongings. He chuckled and said, "Alright, you don't have to be so polite. Originally, I wanted to spar with you. However, after seeing your energy movement skill yesterday, I don't want to try anymore. Otherwise, if I were to be clicked by your yellow scissors, everything would be over. "
Dumb was not as excited as the Yanshi Brothers. After they had packed up, the three of them quietly left the Sword Sect. Under Yanshi's lead, they went down the mountain along the main road in front of the mountain.
"Big Brother Yanshi, how is the martial niece whose leg I broke a few days ago? Has she recovered? "Dumb was still brooding over the matter of breaking Yi Yi's leg that day.
Yanshi said, "How can it be so easy? It takes a hundred days to recover from a serious injury. That girl will need to rest for at least three months to recover. Yi Yi is a naughty girl. Now that her leg is broken, it's a good time for her to restrain herself. That way, she won't cause a ruckus in the Sword Sect. "
Dumb murmured, "If only Yue was here. With her recovery magic, maybe Yi Yi's leg injury would recover faster. "Holding the Bracelet of Elves that Xuanyue gave him, Dumb's heart surged with a strong longing for Xuanyue. Although he understood that it was almost impossible for them to be together, he still could not let himself forget all the things that happened with Xuanyue.
Looking at Dumb's expression, Yanshi sighed slightly and said, "You miss Yue. We miss her very much too. I really didn't expect it. She is actually the daughter of the Red Dress of the Holy Hall. Why don't we go to the Holy Hall to find her? "
Yanshi's suggestion made Dumb's heart skip a beat, but he quickly rejected the idea. "No, I can't go to find her. She and I are people from two different worlds. It's better not to meet. Otherwise, it will definitely bring her more trouble. Maybe, she has already forgotten about me. " Thinking that Xuanyue might have already forgotten about him, Dumb's heart suddenly ached, as if there was a big stone pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe. Although he had been avoiding his feelings for Xuanyue, his heart would not lie to him.
Looking at Dumb's sad expression, Yanshi could not help but think of his wife who died a tragic death, and said sadly, "You are better than me, at least you know where your beloved is, but what about me? Yun 'er is dead, and he also took away my heart. "
Yan Li looked at the two people who were in pain, frowned and said, "Alright, don't think about it anymore, if you continue to think about it, you will go crazy. Let's hurry up and see who can run faster." After saying that, he took the lead and ran down the mountain quickly. Dumb and Yanshi looked at each other, and both of them showed a comforting look at the same time. With a long whistle, they chased after Yan Li.
In the year 995 of the Holy Calendar, Dumb and the Yanshi Brothers, who had received all the skills of Tiangang Kensei, left the Tiangang Mountain together and embarked on a journey to save the catastrophe.
After a day of rushing, they finally got out of the Tiangang Mountain Range. Looking back at the rolling mountains, the three of them had a feeling that it was a lifetime ago.
Yanshi said, "It's dark, let's take a rest first. Tomorrow morning, we will keep going west from here. It is estimated that in three or four days, we will pass through the Brightness Province of the Huawei Empire and reach the territory of the Sunset Empire. Then we will search the cities one by one, and we will definitely find the whereabouts of the elves. "
Dumb's expression suddenly changed, as if he had sensed something. He discovered that there seemed to be a few indistinct bursts of energy around the three of them. Standing up cautiously, Dumb's body emitted a faint white light, and he searched everything around him. He heard all the sounds of insects and birds, but he did not find anything special.
"Dumb, what's wrong with you?" Asked Yanshi.
Dumb sat down embarrassedly and frowned. "Just now, I seemed to feel that there was someone around, but when I listened carefully, I didn't feel anything. "
Yan Li laughed and said, "There are very few people around the Tiangang Mountain Range. Why are you so nervous? Even if there is someone, it has nothing to do with us. "
Yan Li was wrong. The people in the dark were following them from the foot of the Tiangang Mountain. Four figures were hidden about a hundred meters away from them. They were all surprised by Dumb's spiritual sense, and they carefully hid their aura. They were the four Holy Judges sent by the Holy Hall to secretly protect Dumb.
Two days later, the three of them passed through the Tiangang Province and entered the Guangming Province.
"Wow, what a tall city wall!" exclaimed Yan Li. In front of them was a huge city. The city wall was more than 30 meters high, and it was completely built by the huge Yanshi. In front of the city was a moat about 20 meters wide. A drawbridge was put down to connect the two sides, and the bustling crowd was constantly passing through the drawbridge. Yanshi and Yan Li grew up among the Puyan people. This was the first time they had seen a city, so they were naturally amazed.
Above the wide city gate in the middle of the city, a stone plaque was hung high with three large words written in the language of the Holy Holy Hall — Guangming City.
Yanshi unfolded the map and carefully looked at it. "This should be the capital of the Guangming Province, Guangming City. In the Huawei Empire, this is one of the few big cities. It's really magnificent! I heard. A few years ago, the Huawei Empire fought a few small battles with the Luori Empire using this place as a base. Both sides suffered losses, and no one could do anything to the other.
Dumb agreed with what Yanshi said. From the outside, this Guangming City was much bigger than the small cities of the Red Biao race. The wide city wall stretched as far as the eye could see. "Big Brother Yanshi, let's go in and find a place to rest first. We'll continue tomorrow. Also, this city is so big. There must be nobles here. Maybe we can find traces of the elves."
Yanshi shook his head. "I don't think so. The Huawei Empire had always regarded itself as a righteous empire. It was the only empire other than the Suo Yu Federation that did not have brothels or casinos. If it wasn't for their righteous conduct, they wouldn't have received the support of Tiangang School, and no nobles would pay a high price to buy elves as slaves. The Moon Scar Brothers said that the Luori Empire was the most likely culprit of capturing elves. The Luori Empire is the complete opposite of the Huawei Empire. They are the darkest country on the mainland. Not only do they have brothels and casinos, but many dark forces have their headquarters there, including your Vendetta Society. "
Dumb's expression changed. "The Assassin's Guild. Big Brother, do you know where their headquarters are?" Now that his power had increased, Dumb's confidence had also increased. He wanted to avenge Owen as soon as possible.
Yanshi smiled bitterly. "The Assassin's Guild's headquarters are very secretive. I don't know. Even among the members of the Assassin's Guild, only the higher-ups know."
Dumb was a little disappointed. "Looks like we can only search slowly. Big Brother Yanshi, what kind of place are the brothels and casinos you mentioned? Why haven't I heard of them? "
Hearing Dumb's words, Yanshi was suddenly speechless. Yan Li laughed. "You'll know when you get to the Luori Empire. It's a money-squandering place."
Yanshi glared at Yan Li and said, "Brother, it's not a good place. It's better if you don't come into contact with it."
Dumb did not understand. He nodded and said, "Then let's go into the city first."
Yan Li seemed to have suddenly thought of something and screamed. Yanshi and Dumb could not help but look at him. Yanshi asked, "Why did you scream when your tail was stepped on?"
Yan Li said with a bitter face, "Big Brother, we seem to have forgotten something very important."
Yanshi was stunned. "What is it?"
Yan Li said, "We don't have money with us. It's hard to do anything on the mainland without money."
Yan Li's words made Dumb and Yanshi stunned. Yan Li was right. They didn't have money with them. Dumb had given all his money to Xuanyue and had spent most of it on the way. When they left Mount Tiangang, Xuanyue was in a mess. She only remembered to give the bracelet to Dumb, but forgot about money. When they left Mount Tiangang, Xi Wen and the others were immersed in the grief of Tiangang Kensei's disappearance. No one had time to care about these details. "
Yanshi said with a bitter smile, "Yes. How could we forget this? We can't even afford food without money. Alas, do we have to find a place to work?"
Dumb suddenly thought of what Owen had told him. He said in a low voice, "Big Brothers, I have a way to get money."
Yan Li was overjoyed. "What is it? Tell me."
Dumb used Yanshi's tall body to cover himself. He took out his red magic card from the Blood of the Dragon and said, "Did you forget? I'm a mid-level magician! This card can be used to get a monthly stipend. I haven't received it for more than half a year. The money should be enough for us for a while. "
Yan Li laughs out loud. "Brother, you're still the best. How could we have forgotten about this? But you're really different from other magicians! The kind of magician with great martial skills but terrible magic. Ha-ha! "
Hearing Yan Li say that his magic was terrible, Dumb couldn't help but think of Goris. In his mind, Goris was a great magician. He thought to himself, "Teacher Goris, when we finish dealing with the elves, we'll go see you as soon as possible. At that time, you have to teach me more magic! Dumby will definitely learn from you. He really wants to return to the Psychedelic Forest as soon as possible! But with the elves, he can't leave. "
Yanshi smiled. "Don't make fun of Dumb. Now that we have money, let's go into the city."
Light City was worthy of being one of the most prosperous cities in the Huawei Empire. As soon as he entered the city gates, he was greeted by a wide street. Shops lined both sides of the street, and the sound of hawking could be heard. There was an endless stream of people coming and going, and occasionally, there would be carriages of nobles being driven slowly by charioteers. It was a scene of prosperity and prosperity. Being here, Dumby felt as if he had returned home and felt very comfortable. The people around him all had the same black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, and no one would look at him curiously.
Rock and Rock Power were the exact opposite. Their bodies were tall and sturdy, their heads were shaved, and they carried weapons on their bodies. Immediately, they became the focus of attention of the passersby, causing the two of them to feel very uncomfortable. Rock Power almost flew into a rage out of humiliation several times, but he inadvertently discovered that there were actually some beautiful ladies among the people looking at him. The anger in his heart immediately subsided, and he even put on an appearance of holding his head high and chest out.
Hearing that the Sorcerers Guild was in the east of the city, the three hastened their steps and went straight to the Sorcerers Guild.
Just like the small city of Red Mongol, Radiant City's Sorcerers Guild was still next to the Mercenary Union, but the Sorcerers Guild here was not as desolate. Although the number of people coming in and out was far less than the Mercenary Union, there were still many magicians coming and going. Moreover, in terms of architecture, the Sorcerers Guild was much larger than the Mercenary Union. The tall hexagonal building completely dwarfed the Mercenary Union. Dumb didn't know that this was the headquarters of the Sorcerers Guild on the mainland.
"It's here, let's go in." The three walked towards the entrance of the Sorcerers Guild. Just as they reached the entrance, a wooden staff suddenly appeared from within the door, and an old voice said, "You've gone the wrong way, the Mercenary Union is next door. This is the Sorcerers Guild." Dumb looked over and saw a person sitting at the entrance. This person had white hair and beard, and looked at least seventy or eighty years old. He wore a common commoner's clothing, and his eyes were drooping. He didn't even look at Dumb and the others.
Dumb had encountered the same situation before, so he quickly and politely said, "Grandpa, I'm a magician, and I'm here to collect my monthly stipend. These two are my people, please let us in." The old man slowly raised his head and looked at the three. His eyes were dirty and yellow, and he looked slow. Dumb was afraid that the old man wouldn't believe him, so he quickly handed over his magic card. The old man didn't take it, only glanced at it, and said, "Since you're a magician, you can go in. These two aren't, so they can't go in."
Yan Li's anger surged. "You old man, why are you so dumb? We're just going in to take a look, not to cause trouble. Once my brother and I get our money, we'll leave immediately."
The old man snorted, and didn't even look at Yan Li. "Those who aren't magicians can't go in."
Yan Li was about to explode, but Dumb quickly pulled him back. "Big brothers, if this grandpa won't let you in, then forget it. He's so old, and he still has to guard the door. It's not easy for him! Let's not make things difficult for him. Wait for me here, I'll be out soon. "
Yanshi pulled Yan Li's sleeve. Yan Li snorted, and lowered his voice. "Brother Dumb, then hurry up and come out. Don't you see the restaurants on both sides of the street? I've been itching for a long time. Later, we'll have a good meal. Ever since Tiangang Mountain, I haven't had a good meal. My taste buds are getting bland."
Dumb nodded, and turned to enter the Sorcerers Guild. Yanshi pulled Yan Li to a corner and sat down, waiting for Dumb.
As Dumb passed through the door, he said to the old man, "I'm really sorry. My big brother is actually very kind, just a little hot-tempered. Please don't mind him."
The old man's cloudy eyes glanced at Dumb, and said lightly, "Public morals are degenerating day by day! There aren't many young people like you. Hurry up and go in. "
Dumb smiled, bowed to the old man, and walked into the Sorcerers Guild. The light in the Guild wasn't very strong, and there was a large six-pointed star on the floor. On the inside, there were a few unmarked counters. In the middle of the hall, there were already a dozen magicians gathered together, chatting. It seemed like they were talking about magic. One of the magicians saw Dumb walk in, and greeted him with a smile. "Little brother, you look unfamiliar! You must be new here. "This person wore a red magician robe, and looked to be in his thirties. The symbol on the robe showed that this person was an advanced magician.
Seeing the person greet him, Dumb hurriedly said, "Hello, I'm new here, and I'm here to collect my monthly salary. May I ask, from whom do I collect it?"
The middle-aged man smiled. "So little brother has come from afar! What level of magician are you? Why aren't you wearing a magician's robe? "It should be known that magicians take pride in wearing the Sorcerers Guild's robe.
Dumb said a little awkwardly, "My robe broke, so I came here to collect a new one. I passed the intermediate level magician certification."
