Guided by an unseen force, the golden basket descended through the celestial layers. ....... .... but would such a special infant of two powerful bloodline die easily ?? find out...
Chapter 25: Encounter in the Sky Forest
Chapter 25: Encounter in the Sky Forest
Denny Cing had bid farewell to Grand Elder Han and embarked on his journey to the Sky Forest. The forest's outskirts were vast and wild, filled with ancient trees and untamed vegetation. Denny knew that within its depths, countless challenges awaited him.
As he ventured deeper into the forest, he sensed the subtle changes in the atmosphere. The air grew denser, and the sounds of chirping birds and rustling leaves filled the surroundings. It was a place where the rules of nature held sway, where one's strength and instincts were truly put to the test.
It wasn't long before Denny's senses detected the presence of others. Emerging from the dense foliage, he encountered a group of young martial artists. They were a formidable bunch, with eight of them at the War Realm and two at the Law Realm. The aura they exuded indicated that they were highly skilled practitioners.
One of them, a man with a chilling aura and eyes that seemed to conceal dark intentions, caught Denny's attention. His name was Gu Chang, and his affiliation was with the Ghost Skull Sect. Gu Chang's demeanor was unnerving, and his cold, emotionless face sent shivers down Denny's spine.
Beside Gu Chang stood a woman from the Blue Whale Sect, Jiang Meijer. She possessed an imposing presence and an aura reminiscent of the deep sea. Her beauty was striking, and her marine-like aura hinted at her profound connection to her sect's techniques.
The group of martial artists noticed Denny Cing's arrival and exchanged glances filled with reverence. It was clear that Gu Chang and Jiang Meijer were considered among the most talented in their respective sects, which explained the group's admiration.
Jiang Meijer, noticing Denny, approached him with a welcoming smile. "You seem to be new to the Sky Forest," she said, her voice carrying a soothing quality. "Would you like to join us? It's safer to travel together in this perilous place."
Denny, however, had other intentions. He turned down her offer in a rather impolite manner, his refusal laced with arrogance. "I prefer to tread my own path," he replied curtly.
His words did not sit well with Gu Chang, who had been eyeing him with suspicion from the beginning. The rejection ignited his anger, and he began to secretly plot against Denny as they ventured deeper into the forest.
Meanwhile, back in the Bull Fight Sect, Grand Elder Han was deep in thought. "What if I take Denny Cing to that mysterious expert? His talent is not something of this Jade Continent."
As he pondered this, he was suddenly joined by Sect Master Liu Cung of the Bull Fight Sect, who respectfully greeted him. Liu Cung was a seasoned and powerful martial artist, his gaze filled with curiosity.
"Are you truly willing to go to such lengths for that young man?" Liu Cung inquired.
Grand Elder Han leaned in closer and began to share some of the enigmatic details about Denny Cing. He explained how Denny's potential might elevate their sect to the status of an overlord within the entire continent.
Liu Cung's surprise and desire were palpable. "Even I can't become an outer elder in those big forces," he mused, "and you're telling me that he can make us one of them."
With a determined glint in his eye, Liu Cung continued, "Let me contribute, Grand Elder."
He dispatched a trusted member of the Bull Fight Sect to protect Denny Cing from the shadows. Additionally, he devised a cunning plan. Rumors were spread throughout the region, suggesting that a member of the Bull Fight Sect carried valuable treasures on his person. The intention was to attract bandits and assailants, all under the guise of intense training to transform Denny Cing into a formidable martial warrior.
Grand Elder Han nodded in approval, knowing that Denny Cing's journey was filled with hidden perils, and every measure had to be taken to ensure his safety and growth in this perilous world.
