Ming Shin and the other four were standing in front of all the important people in the tribe. Li Kui motioned for Han Shuang to describe their journey details and findings. The latter took the cue and started explaining how Ming Shin's eyesight has saved them a lot of trouble.
With his help, they could find the trial in a few days and were able to follow the clues with his discerning. The elders were slightly surprised that this young boy could make such a difference with his visual prowess.
When they got to the part that they have discovered the monster beast attack and other people involved, the people in the hall were agitated. They never deliberately ventured to find others.
Even they knew that there must be something in the east apart from Henji town and the other world that they know of on the west. As they were murmuring about the new place with people discover Li Kui frowned.
"What's with the fuss? What is the point of making any contact with others if we want to hide so deeply?" she loudly remarked.
"Yes, what the chief says is true. We could have already conquered Henji town and other cities with our might should we have wished" Qing Wutian also supported while putting the tribe's strength at the forefront.
The former twitched 'there he goes again with all strength and might with no brains'. Han Shuang again resumed to tell how Ming Shin could not maintain a clear head and rushed to save the people of that village involved in the monster beast attack.
Many people in the hall frowned as soon as they heard it. Li Kui was a bit surprised by it but seemed thoughtful. 'Got it, you got caught boy' Qing Wutian smiled.
"Ju Hai, you know the mission objective right?" he asked while applying pressure. This time, Li Kui did not stop it.
"Yes" Ming Shin replied firmly.
"So, why did you involve yourself in the fight? Did you not put the supreme chief's orders in your eyes" Qing Wutian was trying to rile up things.
"I just could not sit idle while my fellow humans are in perilous situation" the latter replied solemnly.
"But that jeopardized you mission. You could have exposed the tribe's location to them" the former still went aggressive.
"Enough of that. Though he did not follow the orders, we cannot overlook the sight that the mission was successful due to his tracking abilities. He shall be given a four month penalty to serve as a scout alone to the south taking his young age and no experience into consideration" Li Kui came in strong.
'Isn't south to here, the place where the Boundless saint remains were found?' Ming Shin cast a grateful stance towards Li Kui and replied with shame "I'm sorry for defying the orders. I accept the punishment".
The elders though surprised with Li Kui's verdict, were not too concerned. After all, it is undeniable that this junior Ju Hai has great potential and an important member in the mission to Henji town in five months. Given his youth and vigor, it was also not bad to help other humans.
After all, they would be a bit wary of this boy if he were to really adhere to the rules and not help in that situation in cold blood. He was an outsider and not of the clan. If he was so blooded when he is young, who knows how he will treat them when the time comes.
Moreover they knew that he was the child of doom. It is best not mess with something so ominous and attract destruction. When Qing Wutian still wanted to persist, one of the elders seemed to whisper something to him.
He was skeptical and incredulous looking at this boy. 'Li Kui, this wench actually believes that this boy is the tribe's hope? Though I don't know how the Supreme leaders of each generation can determine the child of doom, but to still trust an outsider with core inheritance?'
He could only watch Ming Shin leave the hall with the others. If he really is the destined person in the legends, then his journey should not stop here.
This will not be the end. Boy, my influence is far beyond the tribe and I will close the curtains on this charade.
Ming Shin went back to his quarters and met his only roommate Bi Jun. Now he has also cultivated to Qi Transformation peak eight stage. After having a chat with him, he informed Bi Jun of his four months of service.
Though the latter was surprised, it has been more than three years of bonding with his junior brother. He believed in Ming Shin more than himself.
Ming Shin soon left under the guidance of a law enforcement elder to the south. He was left deep enough in the jungle alone to survive and accomplish enough merits for the tribe in these four months.
Somewhere deep in the jungle a pair of eyes opened in the dark which seemed to have some confusion. The last time it was scared out of it's wits when an unknown power interfered with the attack on convoy.
All it wanted was to get it's cub back from the convoy. Eight years back when Ye Guang was travelling back after disappointment from Juuko to Henji within the convoy, he wanted to vent his anger and cruelty upon the monster beasts.
As fate would have it, they seem to come across a female white tiger who was in extremely weak condition after giving birth to a newly born cub. The cub did not even open its eyes and was snatched away by him after asking Ning Shu and other experts to desperately fend off the powerful level 5 monster.
It was given a deadly blow and was sadly looking at its child being taken away while whimpering. After some time there were some powerful footsteps nearby and a strong burly level 7 monster beast which looked golden and majestic.
Seeing the plight of its female companion, it quickly licked the wounds trying to help feed some herbs. But it could see the weak light fading away from her and growled sadly.
It focused on some new scent which had been to this place and the tracks which later disappeared suddenly. Some heavy weight track on both sides were determined.
After five years, when the convoy was going through the jungle towards Pitu, it has observed similar tracks and also the scent of another woman which was present at the cave then.
It determined that the last time, this convoy travelled in other direction. After determining that it will soon pass through the area again, it wanted to kill these humans, especially that woman.
Since it possesses intelligence, it also knows that moving personally would also involve in the movement of the human strong. But where does the golden lion know that an extra terrestrial power shall descend and interfere.
'The leader this time also informed me that more level 3 beasts and level 4 monster beats as leaders would be sent to grab the source, but only some of them have retreated while the others were killed' the golden lion thought.
Soon, it heard a growl from eight hundred miles. All the power beasts of level 6 and above seemed to be summoned by their leader.
There were nearly ten level 7 beasts, four level 8 beasts and forty level 6 beasts assembled the next day according to their rank in front of a high mound. From above a huge tree, suddenly a monster beast of four meter length fell down on the mound with a thud.
It was dark brown in color with full fur on its body and its face showed humane features and expression.
This meeting was convened by it so quickly because it could sense the source which has been attracting its attention has moved its location after hundreds of years. Something happened beyond its cognition few years back and now the source is moving away.
Though it could vaguely sense that it has moved, the ape could not predict how far is it or what does it even look like. It only wanted to slowly conquer the place without much notice from the human strong and act upon its instinct to snatch the source.
Ming Shin who was moving towards the Boundless Saint's place suddenly felt a tingly sensation all over. He remembered this sensation was similar to when he fell in that pool of water and his cells seem to produce a chill but it improved his constitution.
Now after many years he got a similar feeling and the source seems to start from the pendant which he got from Yu clan. Only now did he observe carefully that his body seems to heat up rapidly in response to it and the boundless scripture was running involuntarily trying to dispel this chill.
The result was that his meridians were being thoroughly refreshed and his skin was feeling itchy and comfortable at the same time. After another one week of journey, he finally reached his destination.
