The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 190 — Preparation Period
After completing the daily training required by the Jade Wolf Sect, Lian Haocun, Yun Shao, Qian Wenwu and Long Yuan returned to their dormitories. Afterwards Lian Haocun went to Noula City again, of course without anyone knowing.
Lian Haocun explored some parts that he had not explored yesterday, but unfortunately, Lian Haocun was unable to find any trace of Bai and Cheng's whereabouts at all. Therefore, Lian Haocun decided to look for traces of Bai and Cheng on the hill which was quite close to Noula City.
However, just as Lian Haocun reached the top of the hill, the view of the city of Noula with fire spread everywhere entering his field of vision! The red-colored flame devoured the city of Noula without mercy, even from afar, Lian Haocun could feel the heat of the flames!
Lian Haocun squinted his eyes, trying to see what was happening from afar. After a few seconds, Lian Haocun found a shadow of someone in the middle of the fire, the figure had a very striking aura. The figure looked very calm, as if it did not see the people around him running and screaming for help.
Then Lian Haocun's eyes caught a child who had fallen while fleeing, and unfortunately, was hit by wood that was burned by fire. Lian Haocun looked at the little boy for a few seconds, and found out that the fate of the little boy had been decided.
Instantly Lian Haocun felt a little complicated, yet he immediately threw away that complicated feeling and observed the person who looked extremely conspicuous amidst the flames due to his calmness. That figure looked quite familiar to Lian Haocun, as it looked similar to the Baran Yangzuo he fought a day ago!
‘But, if it is true that the real Baran Yangzuo, why did he burn down Noula City and the surrounding villages? What to remove the evidence?’ Inner Lian Haocun, the article he has not ascertained whether the big sects already know the existence of the demon race that invaded the Afer Continent or not.
‘I have to ask this to Shen Nong at next meeting.’ Thought Lian Haocun while hiding, however if he was found by Baran Yangzuo, no one would know what happened, it could be that his head disappeared without anyone knowing.
Previously Lian Haocun fought Baran Yangzuo because, he had absolutely no choice to retreat, so inevitably, despite being very risky, Lian Haocun had to fight against Baran Yangzuo. And fortunately, it was not the real Baran Yangzuo, so he and Lian Huanran managed to win. However, naturally, the main reason was because of the angry emotions Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran felt.
Lian Haocun stayed in the same spot while continuing to follow Baran Yangzuo's movements. After burning the entire Noula City and the surrounding villages, Baran Yangzuo disappeared at a speed that could not be seen. When Baran Yangzuo lost, it was inevitable, Lian Haocun's heart beat faster, afraid, suddenly the Demon Aries General was behind him.
Right then and there, a branch broke right from behind Lian Haocun! Reflex, Lian Haocun immediately looked back and found a kitten staring at Lian Haocun. Then, the kitten immediately jumped to a place where Lian Haocun could not see him. No one knew back then that Lian Haocun's heart was beating so fast.
It seemed that Baran Yangzuo did not let anyone live, as the many scars on the bodies of the citizens of Noula City that Lian Haocun had expected, were the main reason those citizens died. Lian Haocun's hands clenched tightly, he did not know what kind of reaction to the people he had already, Yun Shao, Lian Huanran, Long Yuan and Qian Wenwu trying to save.
Yes, Lian Haocun had already seen many dead people before him, but for the first time, he was so emotional about one's death, and the feelings of anger and resentment that he had been suppressing from earlier, he said, start to burn back.
After circling Noula City and the surrounding villages to find out if there were any survivors, Lian Haocun returned to the Jade Wolf Sect. Thanks to his contract with Bai, Lian Haocun could feel that Bai was fine. So Lian Haocun suspected that Bai could be hiding somewhere, or perhaps Bai was no longer in Noula City. Thinking of the latter possibility, Lian Haocun felt somewhat anxious.
The next day, Lian Haocun returned again to Noula City and spent a total of five teleportation talismans in total. This time, Lian Haocun searched the cave containing the Beaver Demon Worm, which he had killed along with Lian Huanran. Lian Haocun could not check it out yesterday due to Baran Yangzuo's uncertain existence, so Lian Haocun decided to explore the cave the next day alone.
However, just like before, there was no trace of Bai and Cheng at all, as if they were lost in time. In the end, Lian Haocun left in vain. Then it returned faster than in the previous days as there were not many areas within the cave that Lian Haocun had to explore.
In the end, Lian Haocun handed over Bai and Cheng's search to Chao Bence, but of course if he had time to spare, Lian Haocun would look for Bai and Cheng again. After that day, Lian Haocun spent almost all of his time cultivating, if he did not cultivate, then he would be in the arena and challenge people. As a result, due to Lian Haocun's cold and indifferent attitude, there were more people at odds with him than before. Not only that, Lian Haocun also started practicing new techniques.
While Lian Huanran, he lived his daily life as usual, but was busier than before. Somehow Lian Huanran felt her mind to run away to find Bai and Cheng had already been seen by Shen Nong, the article said, after returning, the tasks Lian Huanran had to perform increased many times over from before! So before Lian Huanran could think of a plan to escape, Lian Huanran's brain had already ‘stopped working' due to overuse.
Meanwhile, Yun Shao, Qian Wenwu and Long Yuan did what they usually did. Practice physically every morning, go to the arena if you do not have work and choose some missions with a level of difficulty that is not too high to complete. Sometimes the three of them would also invite Lian Haocun to carry out the mission. And thus, two months of time passed as fast as a lightning wind.
On that day, the morning seemed very bright and cheerful, as if not knowing the thunder that would be grabbed in the afternoon. Yes, this is a competition day that many people have been waiting for. Competition for places to enter the realm ‘Midgard’ Ancient Kingdom!
‘I can't wait to see Brother fight!’ Inner Lian Huanran among the crowd of many people.
