Chapter 38 Old Acquaintances
Everyone blinked and held a straight face before erupting in laughter.
If not for the artifact on him, would he even have the courage to repeat what he just said?
Everyone felt that the youngster had probably fried his brain or something.
As for Chu Che, he couldn't be bothered by their state of disbelief.
"Bahahahahahahaha... Hah?"
Boom!
Eh?
Everyone froze in silence while the elders turned around, only to see Chu Che squatting huts beside one of the elders, who was currently on the ground.
Chu Che had planted the elder's head deep into the ground while the rest of his body just lay there on the floor stretched out.
The elder's body trembled for a bit before calming down again, all in a matter of 2 seconds.
With a single glance, one could tell that the elder's neck had been overly stretched and might even have snapped into 2.
Amidst the shock, Chu Che unearthed his hands, revealing a mixture of blood and dirt covering them.
There was no need to ask.
Everyone could see that Elder Piru was dead!
What just happened?
Chu Che stood up, turned sound, and calmly glanced at the elders: "As I said. I'm a busy man. So let's make this quick."
If it were before, everyone would laugh out loud again.
But now, they felt that he might have the ability to back things up.
.
Sect Elder Wushi squinted his eyes coldly and gestured toward the rest of the elders.
"Everyone! Let's attack him together!"
"Right!"
With that, the sect elders all rushed towards Chu Che mercilessly.
With that, the real show began.
"Roar!"
Chu Che exclaimed excitedly as he diligently swung Medina's staff in his hand.
Boom!
With just a single move, he had pushed all of them back before running towards the nearest one coldly.
The elder jumped back when Chu Che magically appeared before him.
But his defense came too late.
And before he knew it, he saw a long quick silvery light enter his chest.
The moon reflected light off the staff, making it shine with every move.
The staff pierced the elder's heart, causing his lips to quiver in disbelief.
Plop!
The elder dropped to the ground on his knees like a stone.
He wanted to scream and yell angrily but couldn't.
How?
Chu Che paid no attention to him and vanished again after ensuring he was dead.
He had no time to satisfy the curiosity of these elders.
The elders tried to fight but weren't his match.
~Slash, Slash, Slash, Slash, Slash.
Tonight, not even the nearby wolves dared to howl after hearing the wails from Black Valley.
Some even shifted away from the cursed place, lest whatever was terrorizing the place went after them.
And while Chu Che continued dealing with the sect members and created a great distraction, Old Fru and the shadow guards had already switched attire, all wearing the sect outfits now.
.
While looking at the map on their membership cards, Old Fru and his gang hurriedly made their way to the restricted area of the sect.
According to the young master, that was where the children were held.
As for how they got access to the map, that was simple.
The system did say that Chu Che could take the mission individually or invite others like an adventure group.
If that were the case, then the reward money would also get distributed.
So Chu Che created a mission group and added Old Fru and the shadow guards.
The map made it easier for them, as they could watch themselves as tiny dots running around towards their targeted destination.
"Elder Fru, there appears to be a formation just ahead." One of the shadow guards said.
"Hmhm. I noticed it too… Everyone to stay alert. This is the restricted area. Any wrong move, and it might be our end."
"Yes."
The gang leaped forward without hesitation.
And as expected, it wasn't long before they met their first assault.
Illusion array formation!
Old Fru ran past the forest region before suddenly turning around in shock.
"Brother Fru, where have you been all these years?"
"Sayo?"
Old Fru stared at the woman before him with tears in his eyes.
She was as beautiful as he remembered.
She was the only woman he had ever loved.
Old Fru's heart thundered as he slowly inched forward with trembling hands before grabbing the woman's face lovingly.
"Sayo, is that really you?"
The lady smiled warmly and nodded: "Brother Fru, it's me."
Old Fru but his lips and looked at her in guilt.
"Sayo… If I didn't go out on a sect mission all those years, you wouldn't have fallen to this state. I knew that Cui Ling was up to no good. If I had known she would dare make a move in my absence, I would have never left for the mission.”
Old Fru’s voice was filled with grief.
“Sayo. I'm sorry. It's because of me that you ended up in this state. They all said you were dead. But deep in my heart, I still knew that you were alive. Sayo! It's great that you're alive."
The woman nodded and wiped old Fru's tears away.
"Brother Fru, all that is in the past. I'm just happy that you too are alive and well. Brother Fru, since you're here, why don't I show you my place? It's just a few steps away from here… Brother Fru, you really owe me a lot. So the least you can do is spend a few nights here?”
"Hmm... I'd like that." Old Fru said while deepening his smile.
And so, the beautiful lady calmly led Old Fru to her home that was adequately hidden behind a few bushes, just several steps away from where they were earlier.
She opened the door warmly and gestured for him to step in.
"Brother Fru, I've been waiting for you for decades. And now, you're finally here."
