Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 193

Chapter 193

When he interrogated Vyncent last time, Arthur knew that the disciples from his sect were supposed to get people from all the three powers and the female he killed on the Spirit Boat was probably the one who was sent to the Naga Tribe . This made his trip to their territory pointless and a complete waste of time .

With this in mind, he was more or less sure that the prince and his sister are most likely not in this world, or at least, not in this barren land . He had nothing to do here so it was time for him to cross the wall of Yang Fire, however, before that, he had to pay a visit to a certain someone .

. . . . . .

Dark Desert City is a large city situated at the center of the three factions, no one was controlling it but all three powers had some experts stationed here to observe the movements of their enemies . Some small-scale fights would occur but nothing too major, especially inside the city as it is forbidden fight or else the city lord guards will execute them on the spot .

If one were to talk about who has the most authority inside the city, then it would definitely be the city lord, Kang Amitel . He broke through to the God Realm since a long time ago and no one from the factions leaders dares to provoke him .

Kang is an unfathomable character, he didn’t fight over power in this land and merely ruled this city peacefully . He rarely showed himself and let his children take care of the city affairs . Only when a big crisis befalls on the city would he show himself to solve the matter .

There was even a time that two generals, one from the Naga and one from the Pigolo dared to fight inside the city but it only ended up with both of their heads hanged of the city gates as a warning for the two factions . What’s even more astonishing is that the Naga Tribe and the Pigolos remained silent and didn’t dare to fight or demand a compensation .

When Arthur entered the city, he saw a people from the three races and even numerous human cultivators on the streets . There was no fighting like he saw outside and the atmosphere was a bit lively .

The city wasn’t overly big, it only spanned a few miles but it had an amazing and unique architecture that made it stand out in this wasteland . It was like a paradise to those weak or rogue cultivators who can’t handle themselves outside due to the ferocious beasts lurking under the barren earth .

Only a Heavenly Realm or above can roam freely in this wasteland and in some forbidden areas, even Immortals wouldn’t dare to boast about crossing these terrifying places .

Currently, Arthur was possessing the body of a middle-aged woman . She wasn’t a godly beauty but she had a special mature aura around her that made her approachable, adding the ethereal state that he has, the woman was like a peaceful angel strolling around the city .

Many young human cultivators coming from different sects outside of the wall tried to talk to Arthur but were friendly rejected . There were some persistent ones but after suffering from the glares of the rest . Arthur’s goal in coming here was only to look for a certain someone so he didn’t linger there much longer . He paid no heed to the shops selling expensive treasure and went around countless alleyways until he reached a deserted narrow street . He gazed at the wall at the end of the street and smirked before his figure blurred and he teleported, instantly appearing behind that seemingly old wall which actually had a special formation engraved on it .

For Arthur, with the appraisal skill, nothing could escape his eyes . Along with his black lightning, passing through or shattering it is no big deal, especially when it is not that strong to begin with .

. . . . . . . .

Gutcha, with a black and torn cloak covering his face, was talking with another man with a low voice in a room devoid of light . The two were quite secretive as they didn’t even dare raise their voices, especially the man who was facing Gutcha .

After talking for a while, the man received a box from Gutcha and left after looking around cautiously . His actions were that of a professional, he disappeared from the room without leaving any trace, like a ghost .

Gutcha was also going to leave when he sensed a presence suddenly pop behind him . His first thought was to run for his life but he was immobilized before he could react . Without no way to escape, Gutcha had no choice but try to talk his way out of it

"Please frien--no, benefactor! I did nothing illegal, I can tell you whatever you want if you let me go!"

Seeing the hideous pigolo begging as soon as they met, the female softly chuckled and sat on a chair opposite to Gutcha, who was still freaking out and blabbering a lot of nonsense in the hope of fleeing .

"I see that you still haven’t changed your methods . "

Seeing the mysterious female finally talk, Gutcha was a bit relieved that the enemy was willing to negotiate but also confused because she talked as is she knew him but he was absolutely sure that he never saw her in his entire life .

Seeing her smile, Gutcha shivered and after wracking his brain for a few minutes, he seemed to have realized something and said

"Y-you . . . so it’s Sir! I couldn’t recognize you at first . . . . you look different"

Gutcha has seen Arthur somehow control other people and with his sudden appearances in front of him time and time again, he pieced this and that together and knew who the woman is . Although he had a wretched character, he never provokes powerful enemies and he never encountered this woman so it wasn’t that hard to discover who her identity really was .

"At least you are a bit smart . Now let’s get down to the proper business, what did you discover, I want every single detail, understood?"

Arthur smiled and showed the row of beautiful white teeth of the female . She wasn’t an extreme beauty but the mature charm she emitted was special .

"A-ah, yes yes about your instructions . . . . forgive me but I couldn’t find what you wanted, a proper spatial master, however, there were a lot of rumors circulating outside of the walls about a terrifying existence which could control Space! I personally don’t think it is true as there is a lot of similar rumors, they are just people inventing lies to earn some money!"

Arthur stared at Gutcha with a serious look which made the latter more uneasy, he stuttered and paused for a few seconds before he gulped some saliva and resumed

"T-there is also some good information I found recently! Although it cost me a heavy price, I’m certain that the Ancestral Tomb of the Kang Family is opening soon!"

"Ancestral Tomb?"

"Ah! You don’t know about it . . . it’s the tomb where the ancestor of the city lord is buried . It opens once every few hundred years and a lot of experts usually come here to enter which is why there is a large number of human cultivators visiting the city . City lord Kang knows that he can’t oppose all those factions and bring a disaster to his family so declared that the tomb is free for all those who can enter it . Although he didn’t publicly declare that, all those strong powers know his intentions . "

Gutcha gasped for a few breaths when he finished speaking, he glanced at Arthur, waiting for his reply .

The female silently sat on the chair with a pondering look, after a good amount of time passed, she raised her head to look at the hideous face of Gutcha and said

"What is there inside the tomb? Was the Kang ancestor a spatial master?"

Gutcha shook his head with a disappointed expression and explained

"The Kang Ancestor was a terrifying existence that came from outside of the wall, he established this city and since then no one dared to oppose it! He left countless treasures and if one is lucky enough, they may even obtain the Physique manual he left, the Jade Water Physique! Oh and there is also the possibility of finding a space-related treasure!"

Gutcha spoke with an excited tone as he drooled over the manual . Not only him but every cultivator would want a physique manual . There are special people who are born with a unique physique like Lucy for example . Physique manuals allow those with a normal physique to train and become that specific physique . Of course, it requires enough talent and a lot of preservation and hard work, but it is still doable which is why a lot of people want to covet it, even ancient heritages and powerful factions would declare war over a physique manual if it is a good one that is .

Physiques are divided into many ranks and the Jade Water Physique is considered a Soldier Physique .

From low to high the ranks are; Soldier physique, General Physique, King Physique, Emperor Physique, and God Physique .

There are also branches of physique: Void branch has Spatial Physique, Time Physique, and Eternal Physique . Yin Branch has Evil Physique, Pure Yin Physique, Misty Physique . Each of these sub-branch physiques also have their own sub-branches and in total there is one hundred and eight physique .

The Jade Water is only a Soldier Physique and a sub-category of the Water Physique but it still has a lot of potential and can show extraordinary power if it is trained to perfection!
