Chapter 294: 211: Cultivating in Secret and Thunder Breath
Chen Sheng kept moving, heading towards the outskirts of Kyoto.
His destination was Datian Village.
He still had two days before he was supposed to contact Vermilion Bird.
During these two days, Chen Sheng needed to find a secluded place to upgrade Thunder Breath and study secret skills.
The reason he was heading towards Datian Village was that the outskirts of Kyoto were populated with various sect residences.
No matter which direction Chen Sheng chose to leave from, he would inevitably have to pass these sects.
Datian Village, along with the mountain ranges stretching dozens of kilometers behind it, were the only places that hadn’t been occupied by the sects.
If Chen Sheng didn’t want to go too far, this was the best choice.
The only thing he needed to worry about….whether there would be Martial Arts
Association or wu’an Bureau personnel lurking tnere.
Whoosh!
At a certain mountain top outside Datian Village.
Chen Sheng’s figure suddenly appeared.
By his side was the White Tiger he was holding by the neck, looking resigned.
He closed his eyes.
In Chen Sheng’s senses, there were no personnel from the Wu’an Bureau or the Martial Arts Association within several kilometers.
As arranged by Li Wuji.
The personnel who had come to investigate last night seemed to have already left.
As for the villagers of Datian Village, many of them were still discussing last night’s events.
According to them.
A large-scale thunderstorm had caused a forest fire in the deep mountains last night.
And it was accompanied by changes in the earth’s crust, causing an earthquake.
A lot of villagers were warning their children not to go near the mountains in the next two days, in case there were any more disturbances in the mountains.
Hearing this made Chen Sheng’s eyebrows twitch.
A thunderstorm caused a forest fire?
Geological movements caused an earthquake?
Were the people from the Martial Art Association just making up such random excuses?
Chen Sheng seriously doubted whether anyone would believe such reasoning.
But after listening more carefully.
Chen Sheng realized he was thinking on the wrong track.
Many of the villagers in Datian Village didn’t believe the Martial Art Association’s excuse at all.
They even had countless speculations.
For example, someone deliberately started the forest fire.
Or that the Wu’an Bureau was testing strategic weapons.
All kinds of conjectures, everything under the sun, were there.
But the one thing they all had in common was.
From the conversations that Chen Sheng sensed, not a single one of them planned to go into the mountains to check the situation.
Gossiping is everyone’s commonality.
Fear of death, on the other hand, is human nature.
Most people still manage to suppress their curiosity when they know it’s dangerous.
Chen Sheng didn’t bother to listen anymore.
Anyway, he had no intention of staying near Datian Village in the next few days.
The mountain range behind Datian Village, stretching for dozens of kilometers, was vast.
It even reached all the way to the neighboring province.
With such a large area.
Chen Sheng just needed to pick any spot for his practice.
He was just passing through this place to check on Chen Danggui’s situation.
Thinking about this.
Chen Sheng’s figure disappeared from the spot once again.
Datian village.
Chen Family, in the rear yard.
Chen Bi stood on the open ground, instructing his sister Chen Danggui in martial arts.
The brother and sister were lucky last night. They returned to Datian village directly before the battle between Chen Sheng and Xuanwu erupted.
As compensation for Chen Bi “running away” from the Mountain God. Chen Danggui strongly demanded her brother to start teaching her martial arts today.
In response to this,
Chen Bi had no choice but to agree.
Otherwise, he was afraid that once he returned to Kyoto, his sister would take advantage of the family’s lack of attention and run off to the mountains again.
Both of Chen Bi’s parents were ordinary people.
They wouldn’t be able to keep an eye on Chen Danggui, a Qi-sensor, all on their own.
Thinking about this,
Chen Bi glanced towards the deep mountains.
Compared to the ignorant villagers in Datian village,
Chen Bi could probably guess the source of all the strange occurrences last night.
An earthquake.
A forest fire.
The deafening rumbling noise.
All these terrifying natural phenomena, probably came from the “Mountain God” he and his sister met last night.
As for the other side of the fight,
Chen Bi guessed it might be Xuanwu from the Holy Sect.
Could this really be…. something within human capability?
Chen Bi had his doubts.
He had been in the Holy Sect for nearly two months.
Of course, he had heard about the descriptions of the strength of those powerful figures in the Holy Sect.
But until the night before, he had always maintained a skeptical attitude towards these descriptions.
After all,
The accounts of humans shaking heaven and earth only existed in myths and legends.
Without witnessing it firsthand, it was really hard to believe.
But now.
Even though he still hadn’t seen the battle personally,
would he say that last night’s phenomenon had nothing to do with that ‘Mountain God’?
Chen Bi would not believe that even in a hundred years.
Furthermore, the explanation given by the Wu’an Bureau was so poor, it was obviously a perfunctory one.
Chen Bi even suspected that all this was a trap set by the Wu’an Bureau to bait Xuanwu from the Holy Sect.
And those “Mountain Gods”
They are probably people from the Martial Arts Association or the Wu’an
Bureau.
They are the enemies of the Holy Sect!
Thinking about how he was in the Holy Sect and might face such enemies in the future,
Chen Bi couldn’t help but feel a hint of fear deep within his heart.
Maybe… he should look for an opportunity to leave the Holy Sect?
Right when Chen Bi was deep in thought,
His mother’s voice echoed from the house.
“Coming! ”
Chen Bi unconsciously responded loudly.
“Danggui, let’s practice later.”
“Let’s eat first.”
He turned to look at his sister.
The little girl was panting heavily, her cheeks wet with sweat.
Her whole face was flushed.
Practicing martial arts was never an easy task.
Many adults can’t even endure it.
Chen Bi had also thought that his sister might just be spirited momentarily,
and would give up directly once she truly experienced the hardship of martial arts practice.
But now.
Chen Danggui was fully focused, repeatedly Ppracticing her boxing routines over and over again..
