Since there was an important task, the outer court disciples immediately set out with the ice-cold dangerous beauty. The empire was vast—too vast for any single powerhouse to traverse easily. To maintain control and communication, each faction maintained its own network of transmission arrays. It's a kind of space matrix used to travel distances easily. It's like a transportation circle.
In the great power continent where power rules, anything is possible. So every powerhouse makes use of a transportation array to travel large distances, and also it helps in times of danger. But it is not easily made, and a powerful person proficient in matrixes can make it. So sect once payed a hefty price to build it.
Everyone stepped on it, including 'Shen Duan Yu Han Fang' and the dangerous beauty. The beauty took out a token, poured her aura into it, and spoke some words. Then immediately a bright light enveloped everyone. And they vanished from the sect.
________________
In a vast wild area, there is nothing but trees and wild beasts. The place was very beautiful, but it also gave a dangerous smell. In this place, if you are not strong or careful enough, then God will be waiting for you in hell or heavens.
And in this wild area, a strange circle suddenly formed on the ground. A bright light in the form of a cylinder flashed like it could pierce the heavens. and a few shadows could be seen coming out of it. And in front of the shadows, there was a beautiful shadow. It was the dangerous beauty. Just as they came out few people were coming towards them.
In the front was a middle aged man. He has a strong and greyish black hair. He has strong built and a professional aura. There was a smile on his face. He came with several other middle-aged and elderly,but they were not were comparable to him.
"Eh? You're Miss ***?" the middle-aged man muttered, but when he spoke the name of the dangerous beauty, his voice dropped to a whisper—barely audible to anyone nearby.
"Yes! Are you the patriarch of the Bone Tribe?" she asked.
"yes!"
"How much time until the beast arrives?" she asked.
"Around few more hours" the patriarch spoke.
"Lead the way," she spoke.
"Yes!"
They were led by the patriarch of the bone tribe.
After a few minutes, they reached the bone tribe. The tribe was not very large. It was quite small. There were poorly built houses, and the essential energy was quite bad. It is the worst place for the training of a cultivator.
The outer disciples who had arrived wore faces twisted with disdain. Compared to their sect, this place was nothing more than a gutter.
But among them was one who stood apart—Shen Duan Yu Han Fang. No one could read his thoughts; his expression was a mystery.
They prepared for battle against the beasts.
Patriarch Hong Gong stood atop a mountain within the Bone Tribe, calmly observing the unfolding situation. His mind was deep in speculation.
Suddenly, a shadow slipped up behind him.
"Hello, Patriarch Hong!" the newcomer greeted.
"Who are you?" Patriarch Hong asked.
"I'm ***," came the reply. "Can we talk in private?"
"Alright, let's talk here," the patriarch replied.
"No—in private," Shen Duan Yu Han Fang's eyes flashed with a faint coldness.
"Very well." Patriarch Hong waved his hand, and in an instant, they were transported to a secluded place.
They were inside a cave.
"What do you want to talk?" 'Hon Gong' spoke.
"You should know why I came, not?" ' Shen Duan Yu Han Fang' camly spoke.
"ha?" 'Hon Gong' was confused.
"patriarch 'Hong', you are not weak. So why do you need our help?" 'Shen Duan Yu Han Fang' spoke.
"oh!! You saw through my strength ha?" 'Hon Gong' asked.
"Nope," Shen Duan Yu Han Fang replied calmly. "I can vaguely sense it.
Though I don't know your exact strength, I can tell you're stronger than anyone else here—and that your power has reached a significant realm, hasn't it?"
"Hohol! Not bad of the current popular person of the outer court. Indeed, I am an expert of a certain strong realm. And I am indeed stronger than everyone here." 'Hon Gong' spoke.
"ho! You flatter me greatly. You are probably very strong and even stronger than anyone in the empire, right??" 'Shen Duan Yu Han Fang' asked.
"yes! Indeed I am very strong than anyone in the empire. So?" a light of brilliance flashed in the eyes of 'patriach'.
"What I mean is, you're a member of the ancient Bone Tribe, and someone as powerful as you, hiding here, must have a reason, right?" he asked.
The expression of patriarch changed and it became very serious. He spoke "so what is that you want!?"
"nothing much!! Let's make a deal!!" ' Shen Duan Yu Han Fang' calmly spoke.
"what deal?" patriarch spoke.
"Nothing much. I'll help you keep your identity a secret and assist with your problem. But…"
Shen Duan Yu Han Fang's voice turned very serious,"I need something in return—the Heaven-Defying Secret of your clan… the mysterious 'Bone Marrow.'"
"Heh. Just you?" Patriarch Hong's laugh was thin and humorless. "Don't be foolish, brat. I could kill you out whenever I please, and no one will be even aware of it."His voice dropped to an icy whisper; the words carried a killing intent that made the air grow still.
"Hehe! Although I am way leagues behind you but I can assure you that if you want to do anything to me then you don't have the ability!!" 'Shen Duan Yu Han Fang' gave a shallow laugh.
Patriarch Hong watched him for a long beat, amusement flickering in his eyes. Where does this brat's confidence come from? he wondered. He thought for a while and His expression smoothed into a smile.
"Alright," he said at last. "I agree — but we must seal this with a contract under the Heavenly Tribulation. We'll discuss the terms after the hunt."
During their conversation,
"deal!!"
'awooo!'
'woo!!'
'awoo!'
…
…
…
A large demonic beast's roars can be heard. From a distance away from the tribe, a large no of 'demonic beasts' was coming. They were rushing towards the tribe madly.
Stay tuned for Chapter 2…
