Chapter 208 - The Bug’s Temperament
Chapter 208: The Bug’s Temperament
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Hua family was supposed to be the obscure cultivators of the central plains. They were trying to figure out a way to find the heavenly water spirit for generations. More than a thousand years ago, a dozen of Hua’s first ancestors followed along the Yangtze river and arrived at the Jianggendiru Glacier of the Geladaindong Peak’s southeast slope. However, they failed to find the heavenly water spirit and were even attacked by the strange tadpoles.
After the strange tadpole bore into the human body, it would immediately control its host to dive back into the ice sheet. If the host were to leave the ice sheet, the host would be similar to the Kunlun disciples that Po Tu caught, such that the host would open his mouth and spat out the bug. The host would turn into a dried corpse while the strange tadpole would then look for a new host.
Even the Hua family that cultivated in the water element magic art had never heard of such a local creature in the Geladaindong Peak. Seven of them were suddenly controlled by the bugs and dove into the ice sheet. The remaining Hua family members refused to give up on saving their tribesmen’s lives, so they chased after them laboriously. After a series of twists and turns, with three more lives sacrificed, they finally seized back six of their tribesmen. One of the first ancestors named Hua Laogao, was controlled by the bug but managed to escape. He was never found regardless.
Wen Leyang could not help but laugh, “Hua Laogao? That name…” He occasionally interrupted the conversation in order to make the conversation last for a longer period of time. Not even by midday the next day, by the next daybreak, he would be able to regain most of his combat capabilities. By then, even if the white-robed youth were to carry out any malicious trick, he was capable of handling it.
The white-robed youth could not see through Wen Leyang’s intention. He laughed as he shook his head. Even he found the name funny, “We are obscure cultivators. Our names are only our codes. As long as we can remember each other then it is alright.”
Since that event, the Hua family suffered heavy casualties. The top master cultivators of the family were almost diminished by half. The remaining few persons did not dare to wander through the ice river anymore. They brought along their relatives’ already withered corpses and returned to the central plains in low spirits.
At this point, the white-robed youth’s face suddenly glowed, “No one expected that the first ancestor Hua Langgao who was already controlled by the bug and escaped into the ice mountain suddenly returned to his home. His grand old man did not die and his senses were restored completely!”
Even though he could not confirm if the white-robed youth was telling the truth, Wen Leyang could not suppress his emotions anymore and became slightly excited. He pointed towards the densely arranged Kunlun disciples on the two sides of the ice walls, “After being inhabited by that parasitic monster… by that ‘firecracker’, the human would not die?”
The white-robed youth nodded strenuously. His voice became more and more excited, “Not only was the first ancestor Hua Laogao alive, he achieved great advancement in his cultivation power. He refined into the embodiment of heavenly water!”
This species of strange tadpole would certainly pounce forward upon seeing a human. Once the tadpoles entered the body, there was no way for the human to resist. The living person would immediately turn into the bug’s puppet, but unexpectedly this process was not a parasitic relationship but a mutualistic relationship!
The bug was a monster of utmost disposition in the water element. With the moistening of the water element, all things on earth lived in a mutualistic relationship! Not only was it not considered a disaster when the bug bored into the body, it was an extremely remarkable blessing.
After that the first ancestor Hua Laogao’s body was taken over by the bug, his body was uncontrollable but his consciousness was still present. He could clearly sense that after the bug entered his body, his body was also slowly being transformed into the body of the water element. By the time his body’s element category was exactly the same as the bug, the bug would then leave his body.
However, this entire process was not allowed to be interrupted. Before the body was fully transformed, if the bug were to leave its ‘parasitic host’, it would drain all the moisture from the host’s body.
Wen Leyang’s expression became dull in a moment. They were not aware of this reason earlier. Hence, Po Tu pried out all of those dozen Kunlun disciples from the ice sheet, killing them instead.
“I found a dozen of Taoist priests that were buried in the ice fissure on the northwest slope,” The white-robed youth could make a guess of the sequence of events that took place. His voice was albeit hoarse and unpleasant, his tone of speaking was filled with consolation, “All of you do not know of the ‘firecracker’s’ characteristic, there is no need to blame yourself. Even my family that spent generations cultivating in the water element magic art did not know what to do before we met the ‘firecrackers’, our effort to save the people turned into killing the people instead. ”
In the boundless universe, there were many strange and inconceivable matters in the world. Not only the bug was capable of escaping through water and ice, the bug even contained the Poison of Water that was capable of controlling the human’s body. Shockingly, after a period of time, when the bug was done helping its host to transform his body, it would even return the body back to its owner.
Wen Leyang heaved a sigh. He stopped worrying about that dozen of Kunlun disciples that had already deceased and refocused the topic, “This species of bugs contained the Poison of Water of utmost disposition, even though the amount is too little, it is purest to the greatest extent.”
The white-robed youth was stunned. He looked towards Wen Leyang in excitement, “How did you know that?” The Poison of Water was also a formless matter. Unless one was poisoned with it, there was no way one could notice that. The Poison of Water was pure. Under normal circumstances, the person who was poisoned would die immediately. This concept was similar to ‘no one knew how fast he was riding the motorcycle, those that have seen it died in the collision’.
Wen Leyang did not manage to answer, he gave a forced laugh as he continued, “I wanted to ask if the bug helped its ‘parasitic host’ to forge the embodiment of true water, would it be passing its Poison of Water to the ‘parasitic host’ as well?”
The white-robed youth laughed in a joyous manner. He intentionally stopped the story at a climax to keep the listener in suspense, “Do not be anxious. Listen to my story patiently. It is still early.”
Being able to cultivate into the embodiment of true water, the cultivator would not only become ‘formless true water’, capable of escaping the detection of other cultivator’s telegnosis ability. For cultivators that cultivated in the water element magic art, the embodiment of true water was akin to a person who cultivated in martial art was first trained in the Tendon Changing and Marrow Washing Qigong. His cultivation in the future would yield twice the result with half the effort. The misfortune that dawned upon the first ancestor Hua Laogao became a blessing in disguise. As he returned to his home, he told them about the sequence of events from beginning to the end. The Hua family’s clan elder immediately decided to move the entire tribe to the west. They cultivated obscurely in hope that they could ascend into the heaven and become immortals. The people who were planning to leave the earth did not possess the concept of hometown and native land. Hence, ever since then, the Hua family turned from the central plains’ obscure cultivators to the Tanggula Mountains’ obscure cultivators.
As Wen Leyang mentioned, when the bug was in a parasitic process, not only would it help its host to transform his physique, it would even pass its Poison of Water of utmost disposition to its host.
The first ancestor of Hua family fumbled around for a period of time through trials and errors, before they finally formed the current cultivation method of the Hua family’s disciples. They would first form a mutualistic relationship with the ‘firecrackers’. From there, they received the embodiment of true water while simultaneously received a portion of Poison of Water of utmost disposition from the bugs. Following that, they used the Hua family’s cultivation method and slowly refined the Poison of Water in their bodies into life vitality for the purpose of enhancing their cultivation method.
Wen Leyang frowned, he inquired closely out of instincts, “You can refine the Poison of Water into life vitality?”
The white-robed youth nodded, “That is our Hua family’s special cultivation method, transforming Poison of Water into life vitality. Even though the ‘firecracker’s’ Poison of Water is in a small amount, it is precious because of its utmost purity. After the process of refinement, the water element life vitality that is refined is exceedingly powerful.”
Wen Leyang laughed as he shook his head and did not say anything. In his perspective, refining the utmost purest poison power into life vitality was more like steeping the best quality tea leaves in water. After a few soaks, one poured away all the tea and leave behind the tasteless tea leaves.
The white-robed youth could not tell what was Wen Leyang thinking in his heart, he continued, “But in the final analysis, the amount of Poison of Water that is contained in the firecracker is still too little. By the time it is passed on to the mutualistic host then it is even lesser to increase the life vitality. Over a period of time, we ‘grow’ the ‘firecrackers’ in our bodies for a period of time in order to absorb the Poison of Water in their bodies.”
Wen Leyang’s expression was slightly puzzled, a little confused about that statement.
On the other hand, the white-robed youth was very patient. He chuckled with his hoarse voice and patiently explained to Wen Leyang.
The ‘firecracker’ fancied occupying the human body, but once a ‘firecracker’ occupied the body, the other bugs would never come into contact anymore. To every member of the Hua family, the first ‘firecracker’ they acquired would be the one and only ‘firecracker’ in their lifetimes.
The ‘firecracker’ would help its host to transform his body. After it passed its Poison of Water, it would recuperate for a period of time afterwards and its toxicity would be restored again. At this point, the Hua family disciple would draw the bug into his body again and bore into the glacier to absorb the toxic. This process was repeated over and over again in the future.
After the ‘firecracker’ completed the ‘mutualistic relationship’ for the first time, it would recognize its master and turn into an obedient child from then on. It would never bore into another person’s body anymore.
Wen Leyang had already seen and heard too much new information in his lifetime. Even a person could be sealed into the body of a monkey that was then sealed into the dog-headed eagle’s body. Even though the matter of ‘firecracker’ sounded strange and eccentric, he could still accept it easily. He chuckled as he stretched his body lazily. He then stood up and moved his limbs. His body suddenly swayed once. In the extremely frightened gaze of the white-robed youth, one of Wen Leyang’s fingers had already firmly pressed onto the area between his brows.
Until this point, the matter in discussion was albeit not considered intricate, it involved the cultivation method and the ‘firecrackers’. It took some time for the white-robed youth to explain it. Wen Leyang’s physical strength had already restored partially, this white-robed youth’s cultivation base was still shallow. He could only rely on his embodiment of true body that brought along the ghost-like power. Hence, when he was unexpectedly suppressed by Wen Leyang, he had no room for resistance.
Wen Leyang’s finger pressed onto the area between the white-robed youth’s brows. He would only need to exert a little strength to be able to press a hole into the white-robe youth’s skull!
The white-robed youth was both astonished and furious as he asked Wen Leyang loudly, “Why did you do that!”
Wen Leyang chuckled, “You are even willing to tell me all about the Hua family’s cultivation method. Needless to say, you do not plan to let me walk away from all this alive.”
The method of cultivation, whether it belonged to which sect, it was still considered an exceedingly important secret. Let alone the cultivation sects, even the ordinary martial arts sects, upon discovering the person who stole secrets from the sect they would chase and kill him for a thousand miles. The minor ones would be punished by digging out his eyes and pulling out his tendons, while the severe one would be punished by decapitation or digging out his heart. No one would behave like this white-robed youth, who joyously told about the cultivation method of his family to the others.
The white-robed youth seemed to be slightly confused, “So why did you choose to attack now when you could have just summoned your crescent blade earlier and take me out at that point?”
Wen Leyang blinked his eyes in confusion, he did not what to say. There was already a slight uneasiness in his heart. It seemed that his act of pretending to be a man of long experience was about to embarrass himself…
Regardless of whether it was the act of summoning the crescent blade of Yin’s Error in the campsite to threaten the white-robed youth or the usage of Yang’s Mistake on the snowcapped land recently to resist the ice cliff or the usage of the Yin’s Error to slaughter the enemy, in the eyes of an outsider, Wen Leyang was undoubtedly an enormous power. Of course, the white-robed youth was unaware that the incisive weapon had already passed its expiry date. Since the other party was willing to come forward and discuss with Wen Leyang, he had already tossed the idea of life to the side, as for his purpose there was only two without exception: The better possibility was that he wanted to resolve the misunderstanding, so that Wen Leyang could save the Kunlun Taoist priests; the worse possibility was that he was planning to launch some unknown schemes and plots, such that he could destroy this strong and powerful enemy of his.
Whether the white-robed youth meant well or not, there was no way to distinguish yet at this point. However, since the man was daring enough to show up, it meant that he was already unafraid of dying. In the eyes of the white-robed youth, Wen Leyang’s fingertip was totally the same as the violent crescent blade of Yin’s Error.
As expected, the white-robed youth’s expression had already became infuriated yet insulted, “Whatever I have told you are all superficial knowledge! The most crucial part of the Hua family’s cultivation method was how to use the water element magic art to dissolve the firecracker’s strong poison into life vitality and that is only one of it!” Upon saying that, the youth stopped for a moment, his following sentence truly startled Wen Leyang so much his primordial soul almost left his body!
“Secondly, there is no purpose for an outsider to know about the cultivation method of my family. The Hua family has been growing these bugs here for over a thousand years, we are familiarized with the bugs’ temperament. I will only need to whistle once and I will guarantee you that all the ‘firecrackers’ will be crawling out of its hosts’ mouths and turn those people that stole our bugs to cultivate into a bag of bones!” As he was saying that, the white-robed youth turned over his hands. His movements were swift as he placed a pale blue-colored whistle that was akin to be made from crystal into his mouth. His eyes were glimmering as he glared at Wen Leyang without a sense of submission.
In reality, as long as the Hua family could master the second trick, there would be nobody else except for their family to be able to use the ‘firecracker’ to cultivate. No one could survive if he was halfway through the transformation. When the Hua family member blew the whistle once, the bug would bring along all the moisture in his body and escape. That was why when the white-robed youth was talking about his family’s cultivation method, he was completely unscrupulous, for no one was capable of stealing his sect’s cultivation method!
Wen Leyang immediately retracted his finger. His face was filled with embarrassed smile, “It is my fault. This is unrelated to them! Please do not ever blow that whistle!”
Not that Wen Leyang was incapable of snatching the whistle, he felt that the white-robed youth made a fair point. Even if the Hua family’s cultivation method was revealed to another person, the other person dared not take the risk to cultivate it. Whatever the white-robed youth told him was utterly not considered a secret for themselves. The white-robed youth was obviously infuriated by Wen Leyang. His cheeks were puffed up and his eyes were glaring as if he was hesitating whether he should blow the whistle. Wen Leyang appeared to be relaxed on the surface but the skin underneath on his entire body tightened. As long as the other party attempted to blow the whistle, before the sound of the whistle was heard, he would crush the white-robe youth’s neck at one go!
Finally, the white-robed youth put away the whistle, he frowned as he gave Wen Leyang a fierce stare, “Why are you being so suspicious. If I wanted to kill you, I have my own way as well!”
Of course, Wen Leyang would not challenge his words, Wen Leyang apologized frantically, he was feeling extremely frustrated in his heart. If it was Wen Buzuo, he would certainly not behave as recklessly as Wen Leyang. At least he would clarify the situation first before he made the decision to attack or not.
The white-robed youth had a pretty good character. He did not mind the misunderstanding as much and dropped it after a while, refocusing the topic of discussion onto the situation on hand, “This is the Hua family’s origin and cultivation method. My family spent generations living in seclusion in the Tanggula Mountains, we barely keep in touch with the outsider. We are safe and sound all the while, however…” As he was saying that, there was a sense of enmity and hatred that flashed past his face, he asked Wen Leyang in reply, “So what is going on with those Tibetan people and how about all of you? You ought to explain yourself.”
Wen Leyang did not waste time talking nonsense. He asked the white-robed youth directly, “Have you ever heard of Xiang Liu?”
On the white-robed youth’s face, the expression of recalling a memory floated. It seemed that he was thinking that the two words of ‘Xiang Liu’ sounded rather familiar but he could not recall where did he hear that. He had been quiet all along. Then, he was suddenly enlightened, “When the heaven and earth were born together, the nine-headed monster that caused troubles during the birth of the universe? I have heard of the family elders mentioned it before. Is it a story? So, it is real that this creature exist?”
Wen Leyang nodded. He explained the important incidents that took place ever since he discovered that the nine-headed snake’s followers from all over the world gathered in the small town of the highland. He explained about the Tibetan people, the Kunlun disciples, the identities of the people that traveled with him clearly and finally he emphasized by pronouncing his words with strength, “We are unaware that there is a Hua family that is living in the Tanggula Mountains beforehand! Needless to say that we do not see all of you as the enemy.” Upon saying that, he paused for a moment then he complemented out of his unwillingness to submit, “But it was that family member of yours…Uncle Quan, who wanted to kill us the moment he attacked us!”
The white-robed youth giggled surprisingly. His face was overwhelmed with the expression of joy. He shook his head to Wen Leyang, “Do not be impatient, it is still better to explain the matters one by one…”
Wen Leyang gave out a ‘heh’, “You have been talking for a long while but there is still not a definitive reason even until now!” The sky on the outside was already suffused with the first light of the day. His body was mostly healed but his prediction earlier was wrong. His body required slightly longer time to heal than his prediction.
The white-robed youth’s laughter vanished as he continued, “The Hua family is peaceful for a thousand years. Until about ten days ago, a group of Tibetan people suddenly entered the Tanggula Mountains. These people were penetrating with evil and malevolent energy everywhere but our family would not start a feud with the outsiders, so we pay no regards to them. As long as they do not provoke us, we will never oppose them as well…” At this point, the white-robed youth suddenly became infuriated. He punched ferociously onto the ground as if he was venting anger. A stretch of blue-colored crystal mine was pounded with sand and stones flying everywhere.
The ‘firecracker’ that was hidden in his clothes suddenly sprung out and wrapped around a small chunk of crystal ore. The sounds of scraping and cracking echoed. It took only a while before half a chunk ate off the crystal ore.
The white-robed youth chuckled, “The firecracker’s favorite food is the snow mountain’s crystal or…”
At this point, the sound of ululation suddenly echoed from Wen Leyang’s body. It was unknown since when did ‘You’ve Got Me’ was already awakened from its sleep. It suddenly realized that a water element bug was eating ostentatiously outside. The hard stings on its body stiffened as it dashed outside. That ‘firecracker’ recently passed on its toxicity to the white-robed youth and had yet to recover. It dared not risk its life to fight ‘You’ve Got Me’, so it hugged half of the crystal ore, refusing to let go and ran back to its master’s side in a combination of scramming and running.
In comparison, the fire element’s temperament was explosive, ‘You’ve Got Me’ was akin to a bully, it ululated in a threatening manner. While the water element’s temperament was firm and unyielding, the ‘firecracker’ was akin to an honest child that was protecting its apple, it staggered and cried incessantly.
Ever since ‘You’ve Got Me’ woke up from the hangover recently, it developed narcolepsy. It curled up on Wen Leyang’s chest and slept soundly all the time, barely waking up. Previously when Wen Leyang was fighting the strange tadpole, it was still drifting in its sweet dreams, completely unaware of the situation that was taking place outside, this time it met its opponent that was akin to fire and water (Translator’s note: incompatible), it immediately became high spirited.
The moment ‘You’ve Got Me’ rushed forward, Tutatunte was like a monkey with its tail being stepped on. He suddenly jumped up. He was shrieking and jabbering. His skinny face was all twisted and contorted. It was pointing towards the two sides of ice walls desperately!
On the other hand, the white-robed youth stretched out his hand and retrieved the ‘firecracker’ into his chest pocket. He jumped up similarly with a panic expression on his face, his voice sounded hoarse and stern as he shouted loudly, “How can you still bring around this type of fire element bug. Put it away quick, put it away quick! Be careful you might lead to a great disaster!”
The moment ‘You’ve Got Me’ appeared those ‘Kunlun puppets’ that were standing quietly in the ice walls suddenly became agitated. Their strange and eccentric gaze became incisive yet sharp. Their expressions became savage in a flash. struggling in an attempt to dash out!
‘You’ve Got Me’ discovered a sworn about enemy and rushed outside for a fight. When it realized at that point that it was a lone warrior that was deep in the enemy’s line, it utterly did not need the master’s summon. The hard fur on its body turned limp in the blink of an eye, it ran towards Wen Leyang’s chest swiftly, and refused to get out no matter what…
‘You’ve Got Me’ was a spiritualized bug. It had already recognized its master since earlier. On usual days, it would only need to hide in Wen Leyang’s chest and its fire element’s malevolence would be immediately concealed by the master’s body, it would be difficult for a profound cultivator to realized that a bug was hiding on Wen Leyang’s chest, that was why the moment its bored back to its nest now, its presence earlier vanished without a trace.
The ‘Kunlun puppets’ were akin to losing their target. Their gazes were in a frenzy. Their movement also became much slower but they still appeared slightly agitated. The white-robed youth’s expression turned beyond solemn. He could not care about scolding Wen Leyang, his mouth continuously whistled. He stretched out his hand and rapidly scratched peculiar-looking ancient scripts onto ice wall. After a long while, before those puppets finally quieted down and turned back to their usual forms.
It was only then the white-robed youth exhaled a long breath. He stretched out his hand and wiped away the densely-dotted sweat on his forehead, turned around and glared at Wen Leyang.
Wen Leyang sniggered out of embarrassment, he made a joke, “My bug has lost this time, next time we will bring along your ‘firecracker’ to ‘You’ve Got Me’s’ territory…” He was suddenly stunned.
The white-robed did not acknowledge Wen Leyang’s expression but he laughed, “You’ve Got Me…what a name…” He thought for a moment before his eyes glowed, he burst out laughing, “You are such a malicious person, this bug’s name is a trap!”
Wen Leyang followed and let out a rigid laugh. He frowned and spoke, he had just thought of something earlier, “Your ‘firecracker’ or my ‘You’ve Got Me’ are all legendary beasts, but …how can there be so many of them!”
Even for poisonous bugs like the fire-headed centipede, ghost-faced spider and green-eyed scorpion that were weaker than ‘You’ve Got Me’ by two levels were all the rare precious of the world. These bugs would never be like ‘firecrackers’, coming in a huge herd and large numbers. When Wen Leyang and the rest were in the campsite, they dared not conclude that the Kunlun disciples were attacked by this species of strange bugs, because theoretically, it was impossible for there to be so many such strange bugs in the world.
Even if the ‘firecrackers’ were limited by its environment, such that the ‘firecrackers’ could not leave the Geladaindong Peak, if its population was so enormous, then any other living creature on the snow mountain could not survive as well.
The white-robed youth laughed in a manner that was beyond proud, “The ‘firecrackers’ did not come in a large number initially. There was only one or two of them, but my first ancestor went on a trip of a thousand miles and found a group of master cultivators capable of raising insects and vermin in the Shu state. However, these people had a strange temperament. They were the same as us, refusing to come into contact with the outsiders. The first ancestor persevered with his effort and finally won over them, he begged for their help and finally found a way to breed the ‘firecrackers’…”
Before the white-robed youth could finish his sentence, Wen Leyang suddenly burst out laughing. His chest was puffed up and he was filled with pride as he asked the white-robed youth, “The people that your first ancestor begged were they from the Nine Peaks Mountain on the west of Sichuan, the disciples of Wen Bucao, the Wen family!” Who else could be more outstanding than the Wen family in their abilities to manipulate poisonous bugs in between the heaven and the earth. Moreover, the people were from the territory of Sichuan.
The white-robed youth was startled by Wen Leyang’s sudden burst of laughter, he waited for Wen Leyang to finish talking when he could not help but to laugh, “What kind of nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by the Nine Peaks Mountain’s Wen Bucao. My first ancestor went to the Seven Maidens Mountain’s foothill in the middle part of the Shu State, he sought help from a group of Qing Miao clan!”
Wen Leyang’s laughter stopped abruptly. He gave out another two ‘uh’ before he gave a few hollow laughs, “Those are the disciples of Miao Bujiao. They were of the same sect as our Wen family. We are as close as brothers!” This was the truth but because Wen Leyang made a poor judgment in the beginning, he sounded like he was lying in order to get on the good side.
As expected the white-robed youth’s face was filled with disbelief, he pursed his lips and spoke, “You can always clarify if this is a misunderstanding. We are supposed to be bound by a common hatred for the enemy, there is no need to make up such a lie.”
Speaking of the expertise in using poison, refining and breeding poisonous creature, the Wen family fully deserved the number one title in the world. However, if one was purely discussing fiddling of bugs and snakes, the Miao Bujiao that was skilled in using bugs for a spell was the true connoisseur!
If a scorpion was given to the Wen family, a Wen family could use it to poison a village of people; but if a scorpion was given to the Miao Bujiao, they could breed out countless scorpions…
Wen Leyang had been acting presumptuously twice towards the white-robed youth. As a result, he became passive, he gave a forced laugh as he hastily changed the topic of discussion, “So what happened after the Tibetan people enter the mountain?”
“Not long after the Tibetan people entered the mountain, there was a large battalion of Taoist school disciples that entered the mountain. We became even more curtained that, it was the enmity between these two gang of people. They chased and escaped all the way into the great mountain. In order not to cause any further misunderstandings, we recalled the disciples who were surveilling the situation. Yet, unexpectedly that caused a great disaster!” As he was saying that, the white-robed youth inhaled a deep breath, he calmed his emotions with great difficulties, “Do you still remember a few days ago, when we first met, there was a sharp howling noise that echoed through the entire mountain valley suddenly and I immediately withdrew afterwards.”
Wen Leyang nodded, the white-robed youth continued, “That was the warning sign of the family. Something happened at home!”
Wen Leyang was suddenly enlightened, it was not a wonder this youth’s expression immediately changed all of sudden, he no longer tried to talk anymore but left immediately…but Wen Leyang was still slightly puzzled, “So despite all that you still have the intention to seize back your robe?”
The white-robed youth gave a forced laugh and shook his head, “All of you suddenly attacked and revealed your hostility. Our family’s robe is tailored one and only to each person, the more critically dangerous the situation is, the more I cannot let this item that can be used as an authenticating token to fall into your hands! Otherwise, if all of you were to possess evil intention and truly trap my family, I can never atone my sin even if I die a millionth times!”
Wen Leyang exhaled a long breath, the white-robed youth behaved calmly in an emergency, he was meticulous. Wen Leyang understood at that point that within this ice hole here, there was not only him that was experienced.
