Chapter 320: Encounter With Legendary Sworn Brothers
'Weaponry, eh?'
Miaomiao thought of the dungeon master and CJ, who were living in the underground under the imperial palace. As the guy had promised that he would sell him stuff, Miaomiao wondered if he could make a deal with this hidden protagonist.
Most Chinese novels focused on adventure, traveling to new places, challenging stronger foes, or advancing to a higher level land as if they were playing so sort of gas. They usually went from point A to point B, point C, then the next, and etc. Rarely, they returned to their hotown or old places. Thus, only a handful of kingdom-building, farming, or dungeon managing type protagonists existed among thousands of web novels.
Miaomiao wondered if both Liu Bian and the dungeon master connected in so ways as both seed to possess kingdom-building traits.
Though he suspected that the mysterious dungeon master might beco his enemy in the future, he had no choice but to befriend the dude at the mont since they needed weapons and armors for the beasts, monks, and orcs to help defend the city.
"I have an idea."
Miaomiao proposed his plan. He would revisit Red Sun City and et the mysterious guy to procure more weapons and tools. He also emptied his stash, allowing the local population to temporarily use his low-grade, dium-grade, and high-grade items in exchange for their services.
Listening to Miaomiao's idea, the elders agreed. Jia Shan also didn't forget what he could do there.
He rembered about the Liu Clan's vault. If Miaomiao had planned to go back there, he might as well revisit the underground pylon tower with Liu Guang to fetch another artifact.
"Venerable Zhao, could I ask you to accompany Miaomiao to Red Sun City? Last ti, we ran into several 7th-stage undead monsters, and none of us was capable of using light elent. If you go with Miaomiao, we can eliminate those skeleton soldiers and secure a path to the Imperial Clan's Vault."
The old monk, Zhao Bao, had a solemn expression when Jia Shan ntioned undead beings. He nodded and shook his head.
"Amitabha. Due to this monk's monastery duty, this monk cannot accept this task. However, I shall send my trusty disciple to follow you."
Zhao Bao had been busy as of late. Because of the new monastery construction and the discipline of the new orc monks, this 8th-stage monk's jobs and projects had been piling up. Even with the sect master's help, they still lacked the manpower to watch over their disciples.
However, one of his disciples might be able to help Miaomiao.
Ten minutes later, Zhao Bao brought Fogan, the forr warchief of Red Orcs. Currently, he wore oversized monk robes, which cover his giant physique. His bald head, sharp eyes, large jaw, and muscular build reminded Miaomiao of Shaolin monks instead of regular Buddhist monks.
Fogan held his hands in a prayer position and bowed to the elders and Miaomiao.
"This monk is Fogan. I shall accompany Sir Mao in my master's stead."
The orc's bright pupils were different from the lewd look when he first arrived at this continent. He had turned a new leaf after he had tasted the Buddha's teaching. However, he, like other orcs, severed his manhood to avoid trouble from his lustful nature.
Without a mber between his legs, his deanor and manner got softer and calr.
Miaomiao gazed at this nascent soul realm orc. Sensing the cultivation base and the tinge of light elent Qi within the latter's dantian, he nodded in approval.
"Can this senior monk handle a hundred death knights at once?"
Fogan revealed his teeth. Though he was smiling, he looked like a wild animal that bore fangs at his foes, "That won't be a problem. I have learned the correct path of life, and I shall prove it with my new elent Qi!"
The orc chanted incomprehensible words and closed his eyes. A second later, his red skin shone in white light, releasing warm air and soothing everybody's mind.
Zhao Bao explained Fogan's skill, "This is our sect's purification chant. It can purity evil spirits and heal nearby mortals. As long as Fogan keeps chanting this sutra, no undead being can hurt him and his allies."
Miaomiao gave Fogan and Zhao Bao a thumps up. With this orc as his assistant, he should be able to get back to the shadow realm.
…
Liu Guang, Miaomiao, and Fogan departed the city, heading to Red Sun City.
Miaomiao had already extracted a drop of Ju Xie's blood in a vial. He had no idea whether he could reactivate the mysterious gate in the shadow realm with Ju Xie's blood and Liu Guang's blood, but he had to try.
Liu Guang's cultivation base had already reached the late stage of the foundation establishnt realm. She had no problem flying and keeping up with Miaomiao and Fogan. After flying for a few minutes, they reached Chicken Ann City, which was located west of Red Sun City.
As the group of three was about to bypass the city air space, three grown n suddenly appeared before them, blocking their flight path.
One of them was shorter than the other two, whose height was as tall as Fogan. Moreover, both of the tall guys were 8th-stage experts!
The short guy was 175cm tall but he had delicate-looking skin as if he never went outside of his house for decades. His earlobes were oddly long, which even touched his cheeks. His arm length also reached his shins, similar to baboons or chimpanzees. Fortunately, his facial layout and his handso face made up for his irregular stature.
Still, this group leader was a nascent soul cultivator. The twin blades behind his back also leaked the air of heaven-grade weapons.
At the left of this baboon-man, the giant man's face was as red as Fogan. His tanned skin, long straight beard that reached his stomach, thick eyebrows, green bandana, green robes, and a glaive resembled a legendary figure in Miaomiao's world.
On the right, the paled and alcohol-reeking giant had a ssy full beard, roughly tied topknot, burly chest, and bulging muscle. His only clothes were his chest plate and thick leather pants, which didn't match with the cultivation world settings. He also carried a 6-ter long spear, which twisted like a snake.
Looking at these three n, Miaomiao had the urge to scream in a panic.
'Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei!?'
As a fan of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the portraits of these three sworn brothers were everywhere on the internet. Many gas had made them popular and handso, but they had several things in common, such as their legendary weapons, which had been custom-made for their fighting style, or their general look as their statues were everywhere in China.
[Liu Bei], the man with long earlobes, bowed and smiled at Miaomiao's gang.
"Hello, fellow Daoists. Excuse for interrupting your pleasant journey, but I would like to ask you for a direction."
Miaomiao, Fogan, and Liu Guang glared at the monkey-man in wary. They had the urge to run away from them as soon as possible as the ssy beard guy had been locking his killing intent on them.
"Yide, stop that," The monkeyman kicked the burly man's shin. Despite being stronger than the forr, the alcoholic guy shrunk back and stopped focusing his killing intent on Miaomiao.
"Who are you? Why are you stopping us?" Miaomiao attempted to extract information before these three n began their interrogation, taking advantage of the conversation montum.
"Ah, excuse . It's a bad manner not introducing ourselves. My na is Liu Xuande. This is Guan Yunchang, and this silly guy is Zhang Yide. We're from the Holy Land Continent, so we don't know much about this place. Please forgive us for our insolence and bad manner."
Liu Xuande, aka Liu Bei, was surprisingly humble. He didn't exert his authority or used their superior strength to suppress them even though he could.
Liu Bei continued, "As you can see, I'm from the Liu Clan. I'm a descendant of the Great Emperor of Han, and they've entrusted with an important task. You see, umm, what can I call you?"
Miaomiao patted Fogan's back before the orc monk could assu the role of their guardian. He took charge of the negotiation.
"I'm Cao Mao. This girl here is my wife, Cao Guang. And this monk, he is my guardian, Cao Fogan."
Miaomiao used fake nas to hide their identities. For now, he didn't want these sworn brothers to know that they were from Siren City.
"Ah, your Cao Clan must be famous. To have a nascent soul orc as your guardian, how luxurious."
"… We've just t and beco a family recently."
Miaomiao broke a sweat and glanced at Fogan. Unfortunately, he couldn't hide the fact that Fogan was an orc due to his face and his physique.
"I see, I see! Well, is Sir Cao Fogan one of the Blood Orcs that had raided this continent recently?"
Fogan's face changed for a mont before he bowed toward Liu Xuande.
"Amitabha. This monk has been enlightened by the light of Buddha. I've already cut ties with my Blood Orc Tribe. From now on, I live for the sake of helping fellow orcs and fellow cultivators walk the right path."
Fogan was a smart orc. He emitted his light elent Qi, letting the sworn brother gang sense his proof.
Guan Yunchang raised his eyebrows in surprise. Then, he nodded in approval as he liked the way Fogan acted. As for Zhang Yide, his face twisted in disgust when he heard that an orc could beco a monk.
Liu Xuande gazed back and forth between Miaomiao and Fogan. He dropped his jaw for a few seconds before he regained his bearing.
"Ahem. Excuse . I was lost in thought. To be honest, I've never heard that a blood orc could beco a monk. This is a first."
Fogan smiled, "I don't bla you. No orc walked this path before. I'm the first."
"Cool! That's aweso! Very well, we've been sidetracked enough. I would like to ask you a few questions regarding this continent. Junior Cao Mao, do you mind?"
Miaomiao had a bad feeling about Liu Bei. The latter seed to craft his words and tried to appear as neutral as possible, which was unusual for soone with great backings.
"Sure, as long as I can answer them. You see, I'm a country bumpkin. I only travel around this area."
"Oh, don't be nervous. I won't ask for sothing cruel. I just want to ask for a direction. I'm searching for a couple of famous individuals in this area. By chance, do you know soone with a similar cultivation base with these two?"
"…"
Miaomiao, Liu Guang, and Fogan frowned. Liu Bei had promised to ask for a direction but asked for strong people instead.
"I have no idea who you're looking for. I don't know anyone with the sa strength as the two seniors behind you."
"I guess you don't know. Well, one more question…" Liu Bei grinned and shrugged before his eyes changed color. His brown pupils beca pitch black as if they had turned into an abyss, "If I rember correctly, only foundation establishnt realm experts can fly. But you, sir. You're only an essence gathering realm expert. How can you fly like that?"
The question was directed at Miaomiao. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also stared at the young man, asking the sa question with their eyes.
However, Miaomiao was used to this type of interrogation.
"I'm under a dao god."
"…"
