Apotheosis

Just as the big man instructed, Zen walked twenty miles on the main road after exiting the north gate of G County.

Considering his speed, Zen finished the 20 miles instantly.

And then, he saw a path which led to a small mountain not far from where he was standing. This would be Cloudy Mountain!

Sure enough, just as the big man had said, Cloudy Mountain was small in size and not famous. There were several similar mountains all over, and probably few people in G County knew about it.

After Zen climbed to the top of the mountain, he saw a bamboo forest on the side. Following the instructions given by the big man, Zen entered the forest. Almost immediately he heard the sound of water. When he looked around, Zen saw several small streams flowing down from the mountain and gathering in a pool.

"Dragon Valley must be just after this pool. I wonder what secret is hidden in the valley!"

Zen walked along the edge of the pool. Suddenly two voices came from the front. "Who dares to come here?"

Zen didn't get a chance to reply. The question was followed by the sound of something flying through the air. An instant later, Zen saw two flying axes spinning toward him at high speed.

Zen was not expecting hostility as soon as he entered the forest. However, his reflexes were quick. In the blink of an eye, Zen pulled out his broken flying knife and launched it at the axes. The broken flying knife made an arc in the sky as it cut through both of the axes.

With a small smile, Zen then peered through the dense forest for the people who had thrown the axes. Soon he saw two men stan

was rushing at them, they took out two more axes and aimed for his head.

Zen didn't give them a chance to swing their axes.

When flying past, Zen's broken flying knife mirrored his movements. Soon, one of the guards stood still with a shocked expression as a thin blood line grew on his neck. At the same time, Zen spun his body, and the broken flying knife copied the movement. The second guard's neck happened to be on the path of the broken flying knife. After the broken flying knife flew past, a cut on the guard's neck could be seen.

He had killed the two guards of the Yu Clan in an instant.

Zen put away the broken flying knife and walked past the bodies of the two guards.

The big man had shared that Dragon Valley was the base of the Bamboo Leaf Sect. In the valley, all kinds of weapons and liquor jars were placed at random, and some wooden houses had been built for them to live in.

As Zen walked around Dragon Valley, he didn't encounter any more people. It was strange that the only people he had seen so far were the two guards.
