Small Divine Herb’s Background
Yang Tian took in a deep breath. He didn’t know how he could help an Overautarch Realm adept or why the elder offered such a generous reward. He was going to answer, but he stopped himself and glanced over to someone coming over. He was a middle-aged man with golden hair. The man queried, “Third Elder, why are you making such a deal?”
Third Elder answered in a cranky tone, “You are sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong, Fourth.”
“Hmph, you brought an outsider into the clan grounds, which is against the rules, and you’re making an outlandish deal. Are you just going to ignore the other elders?”
Third Elder: “Hmph!”
When Third Elder powered up, golden lightning wreathed around him.
Out of nowhere, Murong Feng pointed to Yang Tian’s face. “Show yourself the door!”
“Insolence!” Third Elder released lightning and made his eyes glimmer.
“Third, are you declaring your intent to fight?” Fourth’s powered up creating thunderclap and raging tides sounds.
Murong Feng wanted the two to fight so that he had a legitimate reason to beat Yang Tian and take Yuan Xia.
As the oppressive atmosphere intensified, a third source of energy shook the mountains. The individual sitting in Chaos, who also fought the three-legged crow back outside, thundered, “What do you two think you’re doing? How old are you to be acting so immature in front of an outsider?!”
The individual in Chaos, First Elder, was surprised to see Yang Tian.
First Elder instantly ended the quarrel with his appearance. The two performed hold-fist salutes. “Greetings, First Elder.”
First Elder took in a deep breath and looked back at the two. “What’s going on?”
Fourth Elder pointed to Third Elder. “Third Elder has brought an outsider into here and has promised to give away an ancient herb for his personal goals. I, therefore, had to intervene.”
First Elder frowned and asked Third Elder, “Is that right?”
Third Elder snorted. “Hmph, you sure have a hobby of twisting the facts, Fourth Elder! When did I say it was for my personal business?! I’ve never done anything of the sort!”
Fourth Elder: “Hmph, you mean to say this is for Herb Deities’ Valley? In that case, have you sought the other elders’ approval? You are acting on your own accord and disregarding us.”
First Elder: “Third, just tell us what you are doing this for.”
There were some rules not even First Elder could break, and he knew Third Elder well.
Third Elder clenched his fists. He didn’t want to mention it as he didn’t trust Fourth Elder. Fourth Elder took advantage of it to yell, “Hmph, nothing left to say? I was right, then!”
Third Elder flicked his sleeve. “This is too important to be careless. Now is not the time to talk about it.”
“Hahaha.” Fourth Elder faced the sky and laughed. Voice deep and angry, he questioned, “You’re feeling guilty, aren’t you? Are you saying this is something not even First Elder can decide on?”
Yang Tian touched his chin. He wondered if Third Elder saw through his disguise and wanted his map of Long-Lost Divine Realm. That would be troublesome, so he raised his vigilance level.
Frustrated, First Elder said, “Third Elder, why can’t you speak about it? This is unlike you.”
“I can tell you, but I can you only you alone.”
Fourth Elder didn’t like Third Elder pointing to the former. He mumbled under his breath, “What am I unqualified to know around here? You’re feeling guilty, aren’t you?”
“Hmph, that’s none of your business.”
First Elder: “Fourth, leave.”
“You!” Fourth Elder stomped off with his fists clenched.
Mist covered the area soon enough – courtesy of First Elder. He descended. He glanced over to Yang Tian’s group, then said, “You can speak now, Third Elder.”
Third Elder walked up to Yang Tian. “I asked you to come here for an important matter regarding the valley.
“Please speak freely, Elder. I will do what I can.”
“May I ask if you have spent time with a divine herb?!”
Third Elder didn’t notice any suspicious facial reactions from Yang Tian. First Elder finally realised why Third Elder was so cautious. First Elder fired off a golden beam from his eyes. Yang Tian was stumped. Yuan Xia and Yang Xiao were shocked. Yang Tian wondered if the small divine herb was a member of Herb Deities’ Valley! She did say she came from Great Desolation, after all.
