The ins Are About To Start!
It was time! The time was here! All the disciples in the Golden Serpent Sect was here waiting in front of the giant sealed gates of the Treasured ins. Most, if not all of the elders were here as well. Many were finally looking forward to seeing the Sect Masters face but their excitement over the many treasures inside the ins was even higher. The towering gates were over forty meters tall and forty meters wide. It was gold in color and shined brightly from the suns ray on it.
Hello everyone. I am Wan Qing. Nice to meet you all. This is NiXong. Wan did a respectful bow with her cub towards her new allies. Wan was actually quite nervous for a change. She hasnt felt like this since shes joined the sect way back then. Would they ept her or would she be shunned and rejected like usual?
Hello. Bing greeted back while thinking about how Jing knew how to pick the strangest of folks. A guy that wants to be a girl? Butalso,a super talented cultivator!? Bing hoped that his good luck would finally surface when the gates opened.
Hey. Ying roughly replied with her arms crossed. She didnt care aboutWanscircumstances. It was unusual sure but whatever. If he wanted to be a girl then whos to stop him? Its his choice. Ying would dare someone to try and stop her from making a decision about herself.
Nice to meet you. LeiZhipeacefully smiled. Wan Qing looked like a nice enough person. Its going to take some time getting used to referring to him as a girl rather than boy but he can get used to it. Those too stubborn to change their ways wont be able to grow in a meaningful way. An individual should always be seeking to broaden their minds or theyll be as ignorant as beasts.
Are you even strong? Hu Tao sniffed Wan Qing while circling around him. He certainly smelled like a girl.
What?
I said! Are you even worth caring about?! These little shits behind me all have potential to give me a good fight in the future, but do you? I dont know shit about you except that youwannabe treated like a girl.
Hmph. Do you think a 2ndstage Qi Consolidator like yourself is strong enough to talk to me like that? Know your ce fool! Do you think cultivation stages are just meaningless numbers? Qing sted her qi aura unrestrained right towards Hu Tao.
Hu Tao smiled, maybe this fucker wasnt as worthless as he thought. But this wasnt enough, this asshole barely reached up to the Princess.
When we get into the ins, youre mine.
Hahaha! Hu Tao is feeling threatened now that he is no longer the one with the highest cultivation stage. Yingughed with joy.
Shut the hell up Fire Bush. You think I''d be threatened by this sissy?!
Thats what it looks like to me. Ying mocked as she put her arm aroundWansshoulder. When we get in the ins, kick his ass for us. The asshole deserves it! Yingughed.
Oi Ying, you fucking bitch, whose side are you on?! Hu Tao shouted as Ying suddenly punched towards his face.
Who are you calling a bitch!? Hu Tao dodged her punch andughed as she chased after him with even more strikes.
This is why I like you Ying. You arent afraid even though youre outmatched! Hu Tao cheerfully said.
Ill show you outmatched bastard! Just as Ying was about to barely miss Hu Taos body once again, she ignited herself and increased her speed. This surprise attack allowed her to finally dig her fist into Hu Taos stomach and shut that annoying mouth of his up.
Hu Tao was almost sent flying straight into the crowd of disciples surrounding them but thankfully Bing caught Hu Tao before he could crash into anyone and brought him back to their group. The wild fighter had a nasty burn on his wless abs but the grin on his face made it seem like it wasnt anything at all.
You keep that shit up and I might fall in love with you too, Princess. Hu Tao coughed blood.
Disgusting. She smirked, satisfied about getting a good hit on the evasive bastard.
You guys really know how to bring a crowd... Bing muttered as everyones eyes were focusing in on their little group.
Is it usually like this? Wan asked Bing.
With those two, yes. Were more like a band of mercenaries that are all working for our own goals but with no pay and barely any cooperation. Bing ryed to Qing.
Im pretty sure theWolfengGang is more organized than this and we dont even have half as many people as them. Wan Qing noted.
Ah well, I heard that might be changing soon actually. LeiZhisaid.
What are you talking about Lei? Ying asked.
Jing said shell be sending us out on special tasks and when wepletethem,well be rewarded.
Rewarded with what? Hu Tao asked.
Well, whatever we ask for. She said after the job is done, we can request for spirit stones, pills, herbs, weapons, and even martial arts.
Hahanice! If its Jing, she could probably give me a mystic me! Ying excitedly said.
Thats true... The Empress could also give me a good cultivation technique as well. She was able to find this amazing shield martial art for me, so a cultivation technique cant be too out of range for her. Bing murmured.
Shield martial art? Does that even exist? Wan questioned.
Apparently. Bing shared her disbelief.
Oh yeah, that fucking reminds me. Jing said you all have missions of your own in the ins. Hu Tao scratched his hair.
What!? Why didnt she tell us!? Ying asked.
She told me to tell you. I just forgot about it until today. Hu Tao said without a care in the world.
You shitty bastard! Is fighting all you can think about!? I bet youre still thinking about fightingQingarent you?! Ying stomped her foot.
Hah... you could tell? Damn thats embarrassing. Hu Taoughed.
SERIOUSLY! JUST DIE ALREADY! Ying lifted her giant sword and held it above Hu Tao.
Ah, wait a second Ying. Let him tell us about our tasks before you do something you might regret. Bing spoke up.
Regret!? I never regret anything!
But this is a mission from the Empress. If we dont aplish it, what kind of punishment do you think she will issue out for us?
Empress? Wan Qing was confused by why Bing called Jing, Empress.
A shiver ran through Yings body as she remembered the terrifyingpresenceof Jings qi. She huffed angrily and put her sword back down. Ying motioned for Hu Tao to hurry up and tell them their missions.
Thats more like it, Princess. You should be d I remembered her telling me at all. Hu Tao acted smug.
Quit running your lips and just tell us already!
Nah, I dont think so. Hu Tao teased.
What is your problem?! Are you so messed up in the head thatyoucant act like a normal person!?
Ill tell you guys after I get my fight with the sissy.
Ill give you a fight thatll make you wish to never fight again!!!
Wouldnt that be the dream... Hu Tao chuckled.
Ying. I think its best if we just give up. No amount of words is going to change his mind and you know it. Even if you did fight him in ce of Qing, hell still want to fight Qing himself. I mean herself, sorry. Bing reasoned.
Its fine. Wan said.
Damn shitty bastard... Nobody bother me until the gate is open. Ying took a squat on the ground and started cultivating her anger off. A me-like aura surrounded her body as she sat on the ground, warming anyone near her.
Wan Qing was starting to have slight doubts about joining Jings group...
TangWuyingand Gong Jun stood side by side. Tangs giant boomerang was now one of the easiest ways of identifying him out of a crowd. His yellow arrow tattoos being the second easiest way of picking him out. TangWuyingstood withanarrogant look on his face while Gong had an innocent smile on his. The two of them have started to get along with each other after their battle.
They no longer look down on each other and now treat each other as equals. Although secretly, they still believe themselves to be superior to the other. Openly, they dont mind beingpared. Spending months training with one another and their Third Senior has gotten them closer. Tang and Gong even nned to travel together during the Treasured ins.
Are you excited Tang? Gong asked.
Dont ask stupid questions. Tang responded.
Ah, are you looking for him? I heard quite a few juicy rumors surrounding him and Xiao Hong. Gong teased.
Shut up! Dont remind me of those overblown rumors. Ill kill that bastard myself and show Xiao that her only choice is me and me alone. Cheating will never be allowed.
Cheat? But Junior Brother, you havent even asked her out. How can you say she cheated when you arent her boyfriend?
She knows I''ve been courting her ever since we met each other in my city and now shell just get involved with any random trash? Ill have to remind her just who is trying to court her.
Hmm... I see. Are you sure that hestrashthough? If someone of Xiao Hongs standard is interested in someone, thensurely,they wouldnt becking in any capacity, right?
Unless shes interested in someone on par with First Senior in talent, then no matter who it is, they wont stand a chance against me. Tang boasted confidently.
Lets hope so Tang, life tends to throw surprises at you every now and then. Gong advised. He himself had learned this lesson after his defeat to Tang.
Hmph. What about that Kang idiot? I heard hes been getting quite close to Liu Lan. Tang mentioned.
You dont need to worry about my problems Junior Brother. I already n to deal with Fu Kang. Gong smiled with killing intent ring from his body.
Who said I was worried?! Dont assume suchpreposterousassumptions! Idiot.
Hahano need to get embarrassed Junior Brother. Im d youre thinking about others.
Ill think about hitting you upside the head if you dont shut up! This response only made Gongugh even harder.
Hu Tao... Just wait. Ill be sure to kill you in revenge for Shen...Meilipromised as she stood by herself.
Meiliwas given plenty of life-saving talismans and treasures by her aunt before being allowed to go into the Treasured ins alone. Her aunt wanted to get multiple guards around her but she refused. How could she grow stronger if shes being coddled? Her father said that the strong cant fear hardship and neither will she! She ns to deal with Hu Tao during the Treasured ins and if anyone gets in herway,shell knock them down as well!
Meiliwas confident in dealing with the fatty, the old man, and the sword girl but the panda girl was out of her power. Shed have to wait to find Hu Tao alone before trying to strike him. It looks like he has allies somehow. They must be as terrible as he is if theyre willing to be friends with him.
Maybe I should take them out as well...Meilipondered.
The Huan n, Fearsome Garden, andWolfengGang all stood near one another. The leaders of the ns met and red into the otherseyes. Leng Huan smirked arrogantly,Meihusmiled sweetly with daggers hidden behind her eyes, andJianyugrinned in amusement.
Leng Huan was a handsomely talented disciple. Leng had long flowing wless ck hair that fell all the way to the middle of his back. His physique was average but his aura was majestic. If he was to show off his face and talent more, he would surely have a fan club like some of the other disciples. But Leng rarely showed himself in public. He preferred to stay hidden in the shadows andmand his n from the dark.
Meihulooked like the exact opposite of what youd expect from being the leader of the Fearsome Garden. The faction with the most beautiful women in any group. She was secretly known as the Pig Mistress of the Outer Court and it wasnt for no reason.Meihuhad the face, body, and strength of a terrifying boar! She was among the top disciples within the Outer Court whose physical strength was nearly unmatchable. But it wasnt just her strength that allowed her to be the leader of such a well-running group. It was her cleverness and resourceful mind! She may have resembled a pig outwardly but on the inside, she was as intelligent as a shrew.
Jianyuhad two beautiful young women around his arms. Hisrge wild jet-ck colored hairplemented his strong physique. His body was muchrger than the typical cultivator withyers of muscle all over his body. His shirt was ripped open like a vest, revealing his chiseled and bronze abs for anyone toy their eyes on.
I hope you dont think that your n is going toe out of this with more treasures than anyone else.Meihusaid.
I do think thatMeihu. I dont see how youre going to be able to stop us either.
Strength isnt everything in the Treasured ins! Luck is a big factor as well. The deeper you head into the ins, the more dangerous it gets. So, it doesnt matter if youre a Qi Consolidator, luck is the only thing you can count on!
Dont underestimate my n so much. Even though I wont be in the Outer ins, that doesnt mean my n wont be able to handle your factions.
Gahahahaha! You two fuckers are just hrious!Jianyughed loudly.
Whats so funny Bandit?Meihuasked.
The way the Treasured ins is set up is perfect for my gangs style! And if you cant see that now, then just wait till the ins is over.Jianyuleftughing loudly with the two women in his arms giggling along.
Want to focus theWolfengGang first?Meihuasked.
Sounds good to me. Leng agreed.
Jings head was violently assaulted by numerous dings from her system. She somewhat expected this sudden influx of missions based on thest time she went through something like this. It was like when she was taking the recruitment test for the sect. She couldplete arge amount of missions for rewards.
