Reaching The Tower.
Jing, Li Li, and Wenling arrived at the entrance of the Great Tower. Jing was quite impressed looking at the tower up close. She had to force herself to look up to really take in the greatness of the structure. It rose far into sky and penetrated past the clouds.
So say that the Great Tower pierces into the Heavens themselves. Wenling shared also taking in the beauty.
With how old this thing is, I'm not surprised that it has such legends about. Jing replied.
Do you know what lies at the top of the tower? Wenling asked with a cheeky grin.
No. I knew absolutely nothing about the Treasured Plains before I ca inside here. There wasnt any information written about it anywhere inside the sect. Jing answered.
Hu Tao was literally no help when she tried to find out information for the Treasured Plains. The mutts brain was like a walnut when it ca to anything not related to fighting. That was starting to change a small amount after his near-death experience with a 9th stage Qi Consolidator. Hu Tao started sending her ssages about those he killed and a small amount of information regarding them or the people around them.
Jing was surprised at the important details he managed to sniff out from these people before they died or when he targeted them. Hu Tao could use his brain when he wanted to. He had surprisingly sharp senses when it ca to finding out critical information about people. It wasnt an exaggeration to say that Hu Tao was currently the best at information gathering out of her entire group so far, results wise.
Maybe she could use the Wolfeng Gang to fix that in the future... Theyll be her group for gathering information, possibly selling it to certain powerful people, and other matters. If things stayed the way they were now, it would be quite hard for Jing to singlehandedly take over control of the Wolfeng Gang. Despite being filled with rapists, murderers, and all sorts of other terrible scum, the Wolfeng Gang share an unexplainable bond with one other. Even if they cant see eye to eye with each other or share the sa passions with another mber, they have a core belief that they all share together. They have sothing that holds and keeps them together as a group.
It isnt a lie to say that Jing is sowhat jealous of that bond that they all share. Sothing like that cant be forced or made intentionally. Its sothing that happens by chance and with great leadership. Jing hopes to one day have her followers share a similar link. But that day would be a long ti from now. She still has several other basic steps as a leader that shes yet to accomplish with them. But once the Plains are over, it is ti for a new beginning in how she will lead her group.
Its said that once you reach the top of the tower, you will be granted any wish you desire. She smiled.
Any wish? Jing wanted clarification.
Any wish in the world. She clarified. It's said that our own Sect Leader reached the top of the tower and gained a wish that allowed them to rise to the top in one fell swoop. The Golden Serpent Sect wasnt always part of the Three Great Sects we know today. A few hundred years ago, the Golden Serpent Sect didnt even exist. Back then it was solely the Nine Swords Sect and the Blossoming Water Palace. But then all of a sudden, our sect leader ca out of nowhere and took on both the sect leaders of the Nine Swords Sect and the Blossoming Water Palace in a duel. Our sect leader managed to match both of them in strength despite them teaming up on them. After that match, it is said our sect leader began to make the Golden Serpent Sect. Wenling shared.
How do you know all this? Jing asked bluntly.
From what she knew, Wenling didnt seem like the historic type. Nor did Jing believe that she was educated at all. Her first na was literally the word Little. She couldnt have co from an educated background and ended up as a bandit sohow.
Just as she was thinking this, Jing quickly put a stop to those types of thoughts. It wouldnt do well for her to assu anything about Wenling just because of the small amount of ti they spent together. She would just be falling into the sa routine she had before with that monkey. Jing had to change sothing deep inside her that made her want to underestimate and believe she knew everything about a person just because she had information on them. If she didnt, it wouldnt be long before she dies from her own ignorance.
Surprised? Wenling grinned. Back when I was a little girl, I regularly hung outside the school in my city and secretly listened in to the teachers teachings. My family couldnt pay lessons for , so I decided to take matters into my own hands and get myself so free knowledge. She proudly stated while puffing out her sizeable chest.
Did you want to learn that much? Jing asked. She herself knew that knowledge was power but did these people who valued strength and face so much, also know?
Well, all my friends back then were in the class. I hated feeling left out whenever they talked about what they learned in school when we were playing together. So, I didnt really care about learning until I got older really. I liked the feeling of knowing stuff that other people didnt. I liked learning about things I had no idea about. It felt like my world was enlarging every day. Wenling said with passion in her voice.
I misjudged you entirely. I apologize. Jing told her before walking inside the Great Tower.
Huh? Wait, what do you an?! How did you think of before!? Youre still my apprentice rember?! You have to respect ! Wenling quickly followed behind Jing.
The two of them ca face to face with several hundreds of eyes watching them co inside. Jings eyes were imdiately drawn to two people and a certain group with one sweep of her eyes. Tang Wuying and Gong Jun being crowded by several girl cultivators with Tang having an annoyed look on his face and Gong with a gentle smile on his. Their group started hollering and yelling once they arrived and quickly ca scrambling towards them in excitent.
Jing noticed one thing in particular about them all. They all had different colored lotuses on top of their heads.
Commander! Youre alive!
Sweet heavens above, Jing is alive too!
Last ti we saw ya, you had a gaping hole in your gut!
How the fuck are you alive!?
I got lucky. She replied mildly.
Yeah, no shit! Holy fuck, I cant believe you two bastards are still alive. Ears said, stepping up front.
Sounds like youre eager to replace , Vice Commander. Wenling grinned as she crossed her arms.
I wouldnt dream of it. You dont know how glad I am to see you still alive. He shared honestly.
Im glad to be back. She responded back. But uh... whats with the new look? Did you all fall in love with so Fearso Garden girls? Why do you all have flowers on your heads? She wanted to know.
The fucking vice commander fucking gave it to us.
Piece of shit infected all of us with his stupid lotus.
Bald asshole couldnt keep it to himself and had to spread his plant shit to us.
Oi! Do you fucking bastards want to die!? You think I tried to do this?! I cant control this fucking thing! You keep talking shit and I'll fucking kick all your asses!
You wanna test that Vice Commander? Du Zihao asked with his lightning blade sparking on his back.
Its us vs you. You still think you stand a chance against all of us? Scars spoke, feeling confident in their group's new strength. The lotus also boosted their strengths just like it did for the Vice Commander.
They gained a lot ever since Jing teleported them into that treasure room. It wasnt an exaggeration to say that Wenlings squad was the most decked out group out of all the groups here. They had enough magical treasures and gold accessories on them that they could be mistaken for rich young masters. That was also why everyones eyes were greedily eyeing them. Ears and Wenling knew that they would be the biggest target around for quite so ti with this much loot on them. And since they didnt have storage rings, it was impossible to hide most of it.
Cocky little bastards huh? Alright! Commander Guotin hasnt been satisfied with so of you lazy bums anyway. Ill beat you bastards into shape until youre all black and blue. He cracked his knuckles.
You can have your roughhousing session when we get to the first floor. For now, hold it in. Wenling told them. We have a couple guests coming towards us. Their rivals walked towards them with their own small groups equal in size to Wenlings.
The Huan clan and the Fearso Garden.
