Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 147: Honored Guest

A day or two later, I was escorted with a few disciples from the Three-Legged Raven Sect out of the sect and on a caravan, while among the group, was grand elder Chuzi Zhong and his disciple Feng.

This didn’t bode well, after all, if he is here, I could guess what his reason could be. He wishes to take the Top-Grade Spirit Stone away, but a few words from me immediately caused him to hesitate and think twice about doing so.

"Though I’m no longer a disciple of the Three-Legged Raven Sect, I’ll tell my mentor that you treated me well," these were the words I spoke to Feng and to Chuzi Zhong’s ears to hear.

A subtle threat, that if anything were to happen to me once I leave, a very powerful, and pretty eccentric cultivator who taught a Core cultivator inscriptions that even Nascent Soul cultivators couldn’t fully comprehend was coming back for me.

Grand Elder Chuzi Zhong was immediately woken to reality as he said, "Don’t worry about this, once your master comes back, we’ll make sure to give him a proper explanation, it wasn’t our intention to ruin your cultivation, and there are many secrets to this world and regaining your cultivation shouldn’t be a great endeavor. Once my Tri-Colored Nascent fruit tree comes to fruition, I’ll send one over to your master, it should help rebuild your destroyed meridians." The elder said.

Though I knew he was full of bullshit because after doing a mental quick search in the Poison God’s heritage book, I found out that the Tri-Colored Nascent Fruit cannot rebuild meridians, and its value is probably more like a bribe to my ’master’ so he could not come at the sect demanding why his disciple was harmed.

"Thank you kindly," I nodded, though I acted sad and melancholic about the whole situation, I still said, "I hope you find the escapee, the fact that they escaped and I was wounded isn’t sitting well with me, if you ever catch them, can I be rude and ask to be present for their trial?"

"Oh, don’t worry, once they’ve captured the whole world will know of it. Now go, rest well, you served greatly, though the cultivation world had closed its doors to you, the mortal life isn’t so bad after a long journey in the cultivation world."

"Thank you," I nodded then the disciples escorting the palanquin immediately moved, leaving the sect’s gates.

After traveling for almost half a day, as I contemplated nature, and ’tried’ to enter meditation while acting frustrated for not being able to.

The disciples felt sorry, "Brother Xiao Meng, no need to rush things, it’s a good thing to become a mortal, you’ll no longer suffer the arduous tribulation of cultivation." A disciple said.

"Thank you brother, It’s just not easy to get the habits off, right now, I feel hunger, thirst, and exhaustion. I thought meditation would solve it, but I cannot for the life of me enter that state again. Ah, I’ll have to worry about food, and even my body odor now. Cultivation had its advantages, but no need to cry over spilled milk, right?"

The disciple nodded and the carriage continued forward.

And we soon found ourselves at the entrance of a majestic city that had its gate opened like a beast eating up a giant line of people.

Many lined up and waited for permission to access the city, while I didn’t mind waiting, the disciples of the Three-Legged Raven Sect weren’t nice or gentle about staying in line, so they immediate guided the carriage to the front of the line, ignoring the hostile glares of the people, but the moment anyone dared speak against this blatant disregard of line, the person had his legs broken.

The Three-Legged Raven Sect was really overbearing. Though I felt sorry for the man who had his legs broken, I didn’t speak, nor did I have the intention to do so, I’m also just waiting for these disciples to deposit me at my new ’home’ and leave back to their sect.

And this was quick, as the moment the guards noticed the commotion, and the clothes on the disciples of the Three-Legged Raven Sect, they were allowed direct access accompanied with respectful bows.

Immediately a man wearing a big ass hat and some ceremonial robes came rushing to the city gate, looking at his clothes, he must be an official, he clasped his hands to the carriage and bowed to the disciples speaking loudly for all to hear.

"What brings the honorable disciples of the Three-Legged Raven Sect to our humble city?"

"We’re here to escort a sect hero, he’ll be living here, we’re expecting the city lord to treat him as we would treat an honorable elder."

"As you wish, my lords, please we’ll take it over from here," the official said as he clapped his hands and a group of guards came to escort the carriage after bowing to the disciples.

Mortals and immortals, the sight of these mortals almost breaking their backs bowing is irksome.

"Then so be it, Brother, we’ll be leaving, take good care of your health." The disciples said and I clasped my hand to them. Feng seemed rather pissed that he couldn’t get the Top Grade Spirit stone, and just to piss him off a bit, "Brother Feng, thank you for your escort, I felt safe, even with treasures in hand with you around I knew no one would dare steal anything."

"No problem," the kid replied. I could even feel the venomous spite from his suppressed expression, but for ’Face’ he couldn’t do anything.

The group soon left then took to the skies using their swords. They’ll arrive at the sect in not so much time, and by then, my relationship with the Three-Legged Raven Sect would be over.

"Honorable Hero, how may we call you?" the official said as he bowed to the carriage’s window.

"Xiao Meng. For now, just take me to my residence, I was assured that I’ll be treated well."

"Oh, yes, of course, guards, take us to the guest palace." The official said and the group of guards escorted the carriage to the north.

Soon after traversing the bustling streets of the city, we arrived at a massive manor that was surrounded by high walls.

"Please sir, follow me," the official said and I walked behind him.

As we entered the manor’s garden I saw several servants working the field, cleaning up the weeds, watering the plants, and sweeping the road. The moment the official walked past them the servants bowed down.

"This is a guest hour that’s reserved only for the greatest of our guests, and since you’ve been sent by the Three-Legged Raven Sect, there is no place better for us to host you. If you ever need anything please, just ask and we shall deliver.

"Right," I said as I looked around, "Get rid of the servants, all of them. I don’t want anyone near me."

"But how are we going to take care of your needs?" the official said stuttering and afraid that he might have offended me.

"Worry not, I don’t like the company of people. If I need anything I’ll call for you." I said.

"Right, as you wish," the official said, and soon he chased everyone out, and I had the manor for myself.

I walked inside the manor and sat down on one of the chairs. The whole place was empty, and felt dreary, but now that everyone was away, I’m free to do what I must. And that is to pay a visit to my people.
