CHAPTER FIVE
" So Xhou saved your ass?" Force second childe of fire clan asked Weng as they all sat around the firewoods with fire at night ,all were eating and drinking after the stressful journey they embarked on " Enough Force" Xhou coldly ordered not looking up at the freak he was scolding at " A Very boring prince, I wonder who will marry you?" Hissed Force as stuffed his meat inside his mouth . " I have been seeing Weng around here ever since his escape and I normally teach him some things to enable him cope with the world, but he was so very annoying and very intelligent too" Sir JoJo boasted as he poured the wine into a cup handing it over to Weng " huh? he was? and he kept running his mouth that I am annoying and I am a cow without a brain" Xhan chipped in pointing at Weng who spat out the wine in surprise " aren't you a cow without brains?" Weng asked pointing back at him " if I am going to be a cow Then you are more less than a pig" Xhan defended creating an arched eyebrow on Weng's face.
"You can't marry looking like a dung" Weng fired back gulping down the wine to have full energy to argue with this lad " and you think you will have a soulmate by your looks? No lady will bother having you as a pig talk more of a friend to a soul mate" Xhan savaged making those enjoying the show to giggle , he stuck out his tongue at Weng who grabbed a handful of sand and dropped it on his tongue " It stinks" Weng smirked dusting his sandy palms.
" Master" Xhan spat out everything with a smile, why on Earth was this guy his master? " you can never get away with this" he threatened washing his mouth amused by the show " this is not the First time,if I were you I will just calm down and save my energy for something more or less important" Weng mocked patting xhan's back " Don't touch me " Xhan snorted hitting off his master's arm but Weng wouldn't listen at all as he kept pestering him even worse with made Xhan to smile inwardly. " You two are really close unlike my master" the childe on black robes said " me too" another childe on green robes agreed nodding his head " But here lies Xhou and Lan who finds their boring master very interesting....ah... I can't strive to be this boring" Force said feigning worry and looking at the two childes he mentioned " Hia and Liam understands what boring means, how can we be forced under our class just to recite laws that kills me? " Force continued as he opened his paper fan to use it " I hope your name makes you what you are" Xhou replied coldly stunning Force who scoffed finally.
Weng weakly smiled before turning to Sir JoJo who was already smiling at him, waiting for whatever questions weng had in mind " Did my people come after me?" he asked him and as expected Sir JoJo nodded " yes they did and nearly caused a brawl making the king to understand you better and why you were running for your life" he paused to see Weng's reaction " He also wants you back" he let the cat out of the bag shocking everyone " His Excellency wants him back?" Force asked excited and Sir JoJo nodded with a smile before locking gaze with Xhou who released a quiet sigh.
" No I am not coming but you can take Xhan with you" Weng meekly rejected making xhan's eyes to widen " No I am staying with you till death" he pouted crawling towards his master and hugging him tight " you picked me up and saved my life, why should you leave me with them?" he cried hugging him tighter and causing a soft atmosphere around them " Who said I am leaving you behind? you are staying with me" Weng smiled weakly knowing what this kid had passed through, both of them were clearly sailing on the same ship " I can help build a home for you two here" Force suggested giving them a sweet smile. This guy wasn't as bad as xhan thought " Thank you but we are wanderers" Weng replied with pain but hid it behind his charming smile , his response made Xhou to secretly clench his fist and only Sir JoJo saw his reaction " Why not join us to Dijin since his Excellency wants you over?" Sir JoJo asked trying to convince Weng and calm Xhou " yes yes....my sister will be getting married to flower clan and I will love you too come" Hia said with excitement and oh no! everyone was liking him already " Hia" Xhou called his eyes blazing discipline " why are you so jealous?" Force suddenly asked taking Xhou aback but he held unto his discipline giving Force a look "You know what jealousy means don't you? But do I look jealous?" he sneered sending waves of panic into Force.
" Sorry" Force frowned covering his mouth but he was sure that xhou was so jealous about everyone suddenly picking up a conversation with Weng but how can he prove it? He peered at Xhou who gave him a killing glare instantly " Tch!" he muttered before looking away. "I will be going to sleep" Sir JoJo announced getting up " Okay" they chorused eager to continue their conversations with Weng " We have different clans now unlike sixteen years ago" Hia started, picking up a conversation with Weng " Purple clan, Butterfly cave of Iyi , Mountain dew and lot's more" he continued as Weng gave him his full attention but someone out there was wasting his eyes on Xhou to find a hint of his reaction " when will you stop looking at me?" Xhou drily asked as he closed his eyes to cultivate " till you agree that you are jealous" Force whispered making xhou to release his white spike at him " Boring" Force muttered as he looked away after dodging the holy spike of Xhou.
Few minutes, everyone was asleep on the grasses ignoring the tents bulit for them. The snoring of all of them finally brought Xhou back after his cultivation only for him to catch gazes with Weng " not yet asleep?" he asked trying to act calm " Yes just finished my cultivation" Weng replied before averting his eyes on the sleeping Xhan. Xhou still sat cross-legged his eyes never departing from the slender figure in front of him who was caressing a calm soul sleeping beside him " You seem so attached to him since kids" he heard Lan say calmly behind his back and he came back to his senses " I am just worried about him that's all" Xhou replied getting up with modesty " I feel he might be a weapon to someone with certain goals and we need to bring back to Dijin to prevent such motives" Lan whispered as he and Xhou walked inside the tent , both with discipline around them " I also feel that he Rather kills himself than to become a weapon" Xhou replied turning back to take a final look at Weng and the urge to protect him soon overwhelmed him .
* * * .....* * *
The morning sang a beautiful and lovely song awakening all people of the world, reminding them that a new day was also a new hope and there was weng sitting with his legs crossed in a yoga form as he mediated with deep understanding to awaken his third eye while xhan woke up from his slumber yawning like a proper idiot " Master" he called but Weng was in another world struggling between life and death . Force emerged from his tent greeting everyone with a smile but halted on his tracks when he saw black energy emitting out of weng's body and he was probably struggling and fighting with something or about his past " WENG" he yelled running towards to him but the power shielding him sent him flying backwards and dashing him on the ground making him to spit out blood. What type of shield is this? He hurriedly got up and ran towards the tent to call Xhou for help "Master" Xhan who has never seen his master this way was totally confused and scared " Step back" he heard Xhou yell and he stepped back with fear written on his face.
He watched Xhou ascend like a god releasing his white power that looked more like a smoke around Weng who was still struggling to be set Free,he makes the justu sign spreading two transparent white spikes on Weng's body and clenching his fist tightening the energy of the spikes " The spell" he yelled holding unto his fists that were tightly clenched pinning Weng down " What spell?" Force asked panicking as the sky started changing color and the weather becoming eerie as strong winds blew past them " Spell of binding evil" Liam yelled holding unto the tent as the heavy winds blew strongly around them, what on Earth was weng doing? Lan who knew how to cast the spell ascended towards the sky with his palms joined together and eyes closed controlling the dreadful wind and summoning the spell,he casted the spell on Weng which looked like a shooting star sealing inside of Weng and suddenly an explosion cracked throwing all of them backwards with massive force before everything seized to normal.
All eyes fell on weng from the place which the explosion had taken them to trying to see what actually happened to Weng. Weng suddenly opened his eyes panting like someone who just came back from the dead and his eyes fell on all them that gazed at him with jaws dropped " why were you summoning your third eye?" Xhou suddenly asked getting up slowly but he received sheer quietness from him " it's dangerous especially with you having a mixed power black and white" he sternly said walking past everyone towards his tent.
" I was also summoning my dead parents" he coldly said standing up but he was too weak to do so " you..." Force was stopped halfway by the burning eyes of Xhou, what on Earth was wrong with him? Why was he acting possessiveness around Weng? . Weng acted like he was strong enough with a weak smile but staggered and fell on Lan's arms widening the eyes of Xhou immediately, he suddenly looked away when he felt Force was trying to turn to his direction " Where is Sir JoJo?" Hia suddenly asked alerting all of them " This is not good" Weng gasped immediately he felt a black energy few meters away , he sped off flying towards the direction and confusing them all but what should they do? " Follow him" Lan ordered and all ascended towards the sky casting sleeping spells on their guards and the disciples with them before trailing behind Weng Xing.
Weng himself descended as soon as he reached the traces of the black energy with his eyes searching for Sir JoJo, his sixth sense felt an invisible being behind him holding a sword and all he did was to act neutral knowing someone was trying to put a serious trick on him " Stop being sneaky and step out" he coldly said still fixed on the same spot and not moving " oh Aish! you are this powerful to know I am behind you" a voice replied him but Weng wasn't here for chit chat " Even a blind man can tell" Weng replied rather irritated by the voice which made the being to laugh.
"I am Boa, Lord of seven demons" the voice replied and Weng clenched his fist Knowing that he was been lied to " where is Sir JoJo?" he asked impatiently trying to hold himself from starting a fight " oh that white guy? Of course he is locked up in Hades" The being roared into laughter and it was at this time, that the childes descended hiding behind the bushes to watch the season about to unfold .
" I ask for the second time, where is Sir JoJo?" Weng felt his voice change and his eyes turned red with impatience running out " do...." the invisible being was suddenly grabbed by the neck and his true being appeared in full form astounding him , how was this possible? " One of the elders of sharata in form of The Lord of seven demons, didn't your Excellency teach you better ways to lie?" Weng calmly asked with a smug face " let me go you evil child" The elder said struggling to free himself but he wasn't given a chance as Weng snapped his head out his body and throwing his headless body on the ground which sent fear into the childes watching them" we are taking him home" Xhou concluded. His guts were clearer now that weng was definately a black cultivator and can go berserk when angered especially when it came to his his loved ones and those he called friends and family... according to what he knows, black cultivators stay away from people and live in caves to avoid anything that will swell up their anger.
They all emerged from their hiding place as soon as Weng became normal running towards sir JoJo who was bounded around a particular tree with a black steaming chain around him, he was about to break the chains when a white sword splited the chains into two,freeing sir JoJo from it's shackles " let's get going before we will be attacked again" Xhou said putting his sword back to his sheath and finally looking up only to see Weng's eyes on him " what?" he asked but Weng ignored him walking past all of them with Xhan trailing behind.
