Chapter 25:- The Secret (VI) - Tutil is the City Lord's son.
"Ba yucho....!, what are you doing here. Did you see that.?"
"I did, I didn't suspect him, now, I understand why."
"It good that you track me here, I got my suspect....."Jess kept quiet noticing two figures staring at them, she recognized them as the City symbol was embroidered on their dress.
"The matter is no longer in our hands."
"Why do you say that?"
"The city magistrate already ahead of us."
-------
"Eon, you should fight against Ha shank this year. Last time Rais lost to him, so your fight will be crucial this time! or they would assume that we don't have any talented descendants among the villages!" Ba yucho said to Ram Eon who was standing beside him.
"Yes I will beat Ha shank for sure." Ram Eon said with certainty.
Ram Eon was only nineteen years old, but he had reached peak level one Earth domain.
He was just like a newborn calf who wasn't afraid of a tiger.
Ba yucho stared at the formidable opponent such as Choram village and the Nyorea village, so the participants of Brighten stone village got along well.
Ba yucho stared at the entrance stone tower staircase and found Jess unhinged and staring at Lucian who seemed alot healthier than before. Ba yucho sighed and thought,"wait! Fourth elder!" He suddenly gasped at the realization dawning on him.
His eyes swiftly landed on Fa Grovater and found him staring blankly at the Central stone tower and the center of attention was the snow-white clad skin girl.
"Sadly, how does it come to this...?"
Left with the confused yucho again.
_
"Ki village participants almost lost all their fight only four of_ were remaining,Haha, I know this's method." Brighten stone village head laughed loudly and gloated,"The ki village properties has been lost to bet."
"Shi Xun!" From two hundred meters away to the left,Karu,Ki village head, stared at Shi Xun angrily,"this is none of your Stone's business! Stop spouting nonsense!"
Ignoring him, Shi Xun continued,"of course it's none of our business. I was just stating the truth, don't be overly emotional,ki village head."
Standing aside Shi Xun, Ba yucho smiled secretly and for the first time he found this old man interesting and knew how to strike a man when he's down.
Not being able to do anything about Shi Xun or be mad at him, Karu calmly sat down and look away.
The competition this day become more interesting to Lucian,he had already fought two Earth domain warriors and two peak nine vischaunt.
___
Pi Kae, a expert invited by the city Lord from Qasa City was drawn to Lucian,'this is interesting!' I want him,no one had display or use this skill since the last two hundred years. 'Punch of steel!', Haha, even if you lose I'll still nourish you to serve Qasa City.
Every time Lucian ended his match, Pi Kae would take his leave which surprised his subordinate since the past three days.
_
That night.
Jess visited Ba yucho.
After Jess revealed her purpose, Ba yucho shook his head with a bitter smile,"I think you got it all wrong, Fa Grovater only came to watch his daughter play the zither at the tournament.
"Oh! You fool! Don't you get it now, Fa Grovater want his daughter back and retaliate by killing the city Lord's brother."
"Don't be coy, Jess. Fa Grovater killed two master domain warriors of the same level and one of a level lower as well with three Earth domain warriors in a few minutes?"
"Fine. If you say so, I need to go to the court, the magistrate Vovo invited me to dinner, see you later."
"I understand." Ba yucho nodded.
Jess snorted and dash away into the dark calm night.
_________
At almost midnight, Jess watched as two maid clear up the dishes on the table.
"I have a favor for you,find the killer or bring me your suspect tomorrow. I think you have the potential to take up my magistrate position."
Jess was shocked.
'Magistrate position!'
"I have a suspect at hand. Since my partner don't want to cooperate,he must want to act alone. I guess the court will take action soon. " Jess thought as her eyes looked cool.
"Why does the city Lord want the killers so badly, are they a threat to the city?"
"Not that, the City Lord's younger brother and his dear son were victim of the massacre, isn't that enough to salvage madness?"
"His son?"
"Oh! Seems the brother part didn't amuse you, you must have find that out with your connection?" "The public doesn't know about his son so I'm not surprised you didn't know of him. Tutil, the city Lord's son was under the protection of Gen Jor's. Then suddenly, the two ended up being dead.
And our only trail ended up being a kid at the Earth domain level who kept disappearing."
'His son is a victim,oh no! Ba yucho can't use this situation to his advantage.'
"Why do you guys suggest"killers"?"
"Intuition."
"Miss,how about we grab the boy?"Jess asked.
"Nevermind, after all,follow the rules. We don't want the Brighten stone village to think we stole their chance of winning this year tournament."
"Okay," Jess nodded, not saying anymore.
"Well, Jess, the city Lord personal assistant,go and do your business. Whoever mess with the city Lord's family only have death awaiting them.
"I got it."
________
That night, Jess told Ba yucho about the catastrophe of the matter.
This only make him more devoted to his act.
"If the suspect is caught, I can finally leave this continent without worrying."
_______
At dawn, rattling sound woke up Fa Grovater, Cleavon and Lucian.
Even Niki in the next room jumped off.
Fa Grovater and Cleavon quickly prepare to attack the invader.
"Warghh!!" Cleavon shouted as he was about to clash against the invader and stopped noticing it only a vischaunt domain warrior.
"Wait! I'm looking for Lucian have you'd seen him?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm his sister, I just came looking for him."
"Is that true." Cleavon asked staring at Fa Grovater.
"Well that's true."Fa Grovater laughed,"Lucian come meet your sister." He took Cleavon in and leave only Lucian and Quinn at the entrance.
"Elder Fa."Quinn quickly bow acknowledging his presence.
_______
"Sorry, I couldn't come early to watch your performance." Quinn apologize jokingly to his brother.
Lucian caught some movement behind Quinn,"Violet!"
"Surprised."
A scoff could be heard as Niki banged the door seeing the family drama.
"Let's move to the inns lobby."
___________
It was now the fourth day of the True champion competition.
This day, all the warrior still participating were fiercely fighting for the top three places.
Every rank first three places would have a certain martial skill, secret treasure,or cultivation materials as prizes. As long as you can place in the first three, there's no way you would go home empty handed.
The Central division were never stingy in giving away prizes. They had prepared many profound level martial skills and secret treasures as well as pills and cultivation materials.
On the morning of the fourth day, those lavish prizes were displayed on a round table in the middle of the arena, under the watch of specialized staff.
The warriors were ecstatic upon seeing the prizes being displayed and were in fall vigor to fight in the upcoming battles.
By noon time, there were already two vischaunt killed in the arena, and one Earth warrior was crippled.
According to the rules of the True champion competition. When one side surrenders, the opposing party cannot continue the fight.
Which is why as long as one wasn't too greedy, and give up when the situation wasn't favorable, one would definitely live.
The few warriors who were heavily injured or killed were all kept fighting.
They tried to turn the situation around when they were obviously at a disadvantage, that was why they had such miserable outcomes.
"Choram village's Pun tian! Brighten stone village's Lucian! Both are at the 1st level Earth domain. The two master, have you made your decision to fight?" The skinny director stood next to the round table and shouted.
He saw Pun tian climbing down Choram village stone tower, but there's no movement at the Brighten stone village stone tower.
Confused.
Shi Xun shouted,"where's Lucian?!"
Every warrior at the tower were scared of his domineering aura.
Even Jess and Ba yucho was shocked,"where is the boy?"
Things are already out of hand.
Vovo noticed the commotion and frowned.
"Go find him!" She gesture to the guards below.
Jess also signaled to the guards keeping eye on the Brighten stone village stone tower.
The arena was filled with boisterous discussion. The talent shown by Lucian in the past three days were highly regarded, that people thought the no.1 champion position belonged to him.
But, now,he has disappeared mysteriously all of a sudden.
Observing the Central division stone tower, the city Lord absence and the city magistrate aborting the tower. Pi Kae signalled to his subordinate and quickly set to find Lucian.
The battlefield was thrown into turmoil.
"Head of Nyorea village, I think that this True champion competition can go on no more. Hmm, we are going back in advance, how about you?" Karu looked at the faraway Tu tik and shouted loudly, mocking Shi Xun with the question.
Tu tik was surprised,then secretly curse out at the old fox.
He also smilingly stood up and said,"we were also going to go,why, should we go together?"
"Sure tho, I was just going to chat a little bit with master Tu, Then we shall go together."
In the arena, Nyorea village and ki village head took their subordinate behind them and headed straight out of the battlefield.
Those remaining people in the battlefield were Brighten stone village, Shet village , Choram village and various onlookers who could no longer sit still. Therefore the rest of the bystander was very swift to move.....
