Martial Transcendence

Chapter 20 - Encounter

•Righteous Path

•Demonic Path

•Corrupt Path

"Remember them! We are from the righteous path" Elder Yue explained. And Du Chan nodded back.

"Hmm, the people who killed your village must be from the corrupt path, only those bastards do that".

"Why did they even kill the innocent people, the villagers were good and kind to all" Du Chan asked.

"Hahaha, kid, you don't know anything!! They do anything for strength, that's why they are called corrupt" Elder Yue said while laughing.

"Strength? How can they get strong by murdering innocents" Du Chan asked.

"They collect the souls and make a pill with that, and it is a very important pill to break into the Soul Strengthening realm. They need the souls of people who are below the Bone Forging realm and children below 20 years old souls are best. Now you understand I guess" Elder Yue explained.

Du Chan was surprised to know this.

"Then what about the Demonic path? They could have done that?" He asked

"No, even though Demonic path people are brutal and cruel they don't slaughter innocent people. They are proud and arrogant" Elder Yue said. Du Chan looked at him with his confused eyes.

"Okay, listen. Demonic Path people are proud and arrogant because they believe they are descendants of the supreme beasts. No one knows that's true or not, but they are strong, very strong even if we righteous path people gang up on them I think we might be annihilated"

"What!?" Du Chan expressed.

"Yes that's the truth, how can those people slaughter the village like that? It is even funny to think that" Elder Yue said.

"Then it's done by corrupt sects….. How can we stop them from killing more villages?" Du Chan asked as he had already lost his village and if this continued they might destroy many villages.

"Why do you think the righteous path exists, we stop them from killing by killing them, hahaha" Elder Yue said.

"Huh?"

"Cough, those corrupt paths always try something new every time they attack, they should have already collected the souls in your village and the bandits you slaughtered in the west. Hmm they got lucky" Elder Yue said.

Du Chan doesn't know what to say.

"See, there is a land divided by the sects to protect, this area comes under the Extreme Martial Sect and that village is not under our protection so they sure attack that" Elder Yue said.

"Then…. That village was not under anyone's protection?" Du Chan asked.

"It is under the YinYang sect but those guys are busy in 'cultivation' so it's easy to attack the area under them" Elder Yue said.

"This…" Du Chan heard this sect's name before, it was from six years ago. That bandit told him about it and the cultivation technique.

"People from the YinYang sect are strong?" He asked because of curiosity.

"Only some, they have very powerful cultivation techniques but they don't have any martial techniques so they have higher realm but no battle experience and the attack strength, if they have any strong martial technique with that Dual Cultivation technique they might be invisible but that is not gonna happen because they are very lazy to feel pain. They cultivate with pleasure so it's very hard to strengthen the body so that's why only some are strong in the whole sect" Elder Yue explained.

Du Chan was listening to it carefully

"And they don't care about the village of yours even it's is destroyed so leave them, they are scaredy cats that don't want any trouble" Elder Yue told him.

"Okay…" Du Chan said and took note to return the favour to that sect for not even protecting the people under their territory.

"Okay, then I talked enough, let's leave. There is a selection exam in 4 days," Elder Yue said.

"Ahh, elder Yue he is my brother I talked before" Du Chan whispered

Till now Elder Yue didn't even look at him clearly,

"So? I already told you before what to do" Elder Yue said and started to eat his breakfast.

"No, something is wrong with his body. When I first saw him he had a big scar on his chest that should have reached his heart but he survived and he was 2nd stage of body training realm before but he is at 3rd stage right now so I think there is something in his body" He explained

"Huh?" When Elder Yue heard that he looked at Zho Rong and came beside him and grabbed his shoulder and closed his eyes.

After some time he opened his eyes and sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Hey…kid come with me," he said and started to take Zho Rong with him. Du Chan was shocked by his reaction but he couldn't stop them.

Elder Yue and Zho Rong vanished. Du Chan sat on the chair and started to eat his breakfast. He knew that the elder was not going to do anything bad to him.

After some time, Elder Yue returned but Zho Rong was not with him.

"Elder, what happened? Where is my brother?" Du Chan asked.

"He is good. I'm taking him with me, so you should come to the sect in 4 days. I'm leaving now, here is the map and one spiritual stone, when you can use that storage ring you can give it back. And don't forget to reach the sect before the exam begins" Elder Yue threw a jade slip at him and started to move back.

"Wait, where are you taking my brother to?" He caught the jade slip and the spiritual stone and asked hurriedly.

"To the sect," Elder Yue said and left, leaving Du Chan dumbfounded. He looked at the jade slip and poured qi into it.

"DAMNNN" he shouted when he saw the map. The medical sect and the Extreme Martial sect are thousands of kilometres apart.

"He wants me to reach it in 4 days? Damn" he started to curse the elder but he started to run in the direction of the sect because there is no way he will reach the sect in 4 days if he wastes any time.

He used the *WheelWind Walk* technique without qi. If he uses it with qi then he might get tired.

He followed the map and reached a forest, he took a rest for some time and started to continue his journey.

It's noon and Du Chan was running in the forest and saw a beast, it was like a rabbit but it had horns on its head, he ran to it and punched it very fast.

But it noticed and moved from there.

"What" he was surprised to see such a reaction. That rabbit looked back at him and ran into the forest. It used qi!

"So it's a second tier beast" he expressed. The second tier beast can use qi from absorbing and use techniques. They have inborn techniques.

Du Chan started to hunt it but it was very fast he couldn't even touch a hair of it.

"Damn! I will kill you and I will roast you" he shouted.

Du Chan used *WheelWind Walk* with qi and barely caught it and killed it.

"Now I got you, time to eat" he sat down, started to roast it and after some time it cooked well.

"Wow, this meat has qi in it and tastes well" he ate it fully and felt refreshed.

"I think I should use qi" He used *WheelWind Walk* with qi and he was like the wind in the forest.

After travelling for 4 hours he used up all qi in his body and took a rest on a mountain.

"Huff, it's extremely exhausting to use qi for this long" he took a deep breath, sighed and slept on the rock.

After some time he felt heavy on his chest. And woke up and a dog was sleeping on him.

"Hey" he picked up the dog with both hands, it looked similar to street dogs back on earth but it has light red hair on it's forehead and the whole body covered with white hair.

"Hey, wake up" he patted his head. That dog slowly opened its cute eyes and looked at him.

Du Chan was surprised by the weight of the dog. It was not a normal dog.

"Hey buddy, you can sleep here I'm leaving" he puts the dog down and starts to move. But the dog followed him.

"Hey you can sleep there don't follow me" he said but the dog doesn't listen to him and keeps following him. Du Chan stopped and looked at him. The dog didn't stop walking and crashed into his leg.

"Look buddy, I don't like dogs so don't follow me. If you make me mad I will kill and feed you to beasts" he warned the dog. But that dog looked at him with cute eyes.

"Damn" he didn't know what to do with this dog, so he used *WheelWind Walk* with qi and ran fast and reached out of the forest.

"I think I lost it.." But when he looked back the dog was near his leg.

"What the fu#k, leave me" he cursed it but it was still near his leg. So he kicked it and it was flowing in mid-air and landed in the forest somewhere. He ran away from that place and reached another path, and suddenly two guys came in front of him.

"Haha kid give us your money" one guy said. He was wearing a hat.

"Huh?" Du Chan looked at him, he was a normal person without any cultivation. 'Is he an idiot?' He thought

"Yeah yeah, give us your money or else we will kill you" the other guy said.

'Damn should I kill them? … just leave it' he thought and resumed his journey without even looking at them.

"This kid ignored us" the hat guy said while angry.

"Yeah" another one said and tried to attack him with his blade but when he was about to reach him the dog, bit his hand and his blood started to drop. The muscles in his hand were torn apart.

"Ahhhh" he cried in pain.

"Brother…." That hat guy came near him and that dog looked at him with angry eyes, it scared that guy away

"WOOF" That dog barked and came to Du Chan and looked at him with his cute eyes…...
