East Meet West

159- Change of Plans 1

“Oh... let’s hear it... I would like to know what’s so special about this secret that made your senior brother attack us. If it is truly so special, I don’t mind letting you off...”

As soon as Orochi’s voice fell, another female voice rang,

“What happened here?”

It was June who spoke. Her voice arrived before she came into everyone’s view.

Armelia moved to June and narrated everything to June. After she heard everything, June frowned and looked at two dead bodies, then looked at Jashan and then Orochi’s injuries. Then she checked Armelia, to see if she got injured anywhere. Seeing that, Armelia was fine, June’s face settled.

“Whatever you have to ask you can ask later. But first, let us move away from here, the noise you people created might have alerted other monsters or humans in the surroundings, so we should get away from here.”

Orochi did not have any opinions, and Jashan did not dare to have any, everyone quickly evacuated the location and moved away from the place. But before moving away, Orochi gave Jashan the signal to collect Ethan’s and Pamila’s bodies. Jashan immediately collected them.

After walking for almost 2 miles, everyone stopped at the foot of a small hill.

After June gave the confirmation that the area is secured, Orochi asked Jashan to continue.

Hearing this Jashan immediately responded,

“Few disciples from our sect came to the ‘Dark forest’ to hunt monsters and gather herbs. But unfortunately, they came across a Super-Monster stage Blood Tiger. And half of them were killed by it. While the remaining 2-3 people escaped in different directions. And one of the fellow disciples, while escaping came across a cave. He was extremely tired and suffered a lot of injuries, so he decided to hide inside the cave and heal. So, after recovering to a certain extent, he found that the cave was very deep and there were many tunnels. And after exploring many tunnels, he found treasures.”

Hearing this Orochi immediately got interested and asked,

“Treasures? What kind of treasures?”

Jashan quickly responded,

“Few Red grade herbs and ores. And... and... the body of some Royalty realm powerhouse.”

Hearing this everyone was surprised, even June who had a cold and indifferent expression, was stunned.

She asked,

“Are you sure it was the body of Royalty realm powerhouse?”

Her voice contained a trace of eagerness.

Earlier when Jashan came across June, he was shocked because he felt the Royalty realm breathe from her. So, when he found this, he was extremely shocked and thought internally- If Senior Brother Ethan knew that this group of people had a Royalty realm powerhouse, then he would not dare to shoot and would still be alive.

Jashan replied in a tone that had both respect and fear,

“Yes, according to that disciple, when he came across the body, he felt the pressure of a Royalty realm powerhouse. So, I think it must be a Royalty realm powerhouse. And he said that the owner of the body had deep cultivation. At least, greater than our sect elders or even our sect master.”

“So, did that guy take the body or what?”

Orochi asked. Jashan replied,

“No, a Diamond eyed Demonic spider built a nest nearby. And it had recently got promoted to the Demon stage, and this guy could not handle such a powerful monster. Not to mention, that Diamond eyed demonic spider also had a female partner at the stage of the peak of Demi-Monster stage and few children. So, he did not dare to stay any longer and ran out of the cave before getting spotted. That guy just saw the body of that powerhouse from far away. And before he left, he felt a huge amount of energy from the inner area of the cave, but as the Diamond-eyed Demonic spider’s family had built the nest, it was blocking the way, so he could only reluctantly leave and escape from the area. But from his words, we confirmed that there many treasures inside. And he made a map and marked the location on it.”

Listening to this, Orochi fell into thoughts, then asked,

“Where is that guy? Why did he not come with you guys?”

Hearing this Jashan’s expression changed and he hesitated to speak,

“Speak”

Orochi said coldly.

Jashan quickly responded,

“That guy... that guy was killed by my senior brother.”

Then Jashan started narrating the story.

It seems that guy wanted to gather a group of people with Human stage and Super-human stage cultivations and then get treasures. And the first person this guy approached was Ethan. And after he revealed all this information to Ethan, Ethan demanded 70% share and that guy did not agree. So, Ethan lied to that guy and somehow convinced him to wait outside the sect as Ethan would gather other acquaintances who would help on this matter. And that guy naively believed it. And with Ethan’s influence, he captured that guy and tortured him and that guy finally revealed everything including the map.

Listening to this Orochi simply sneered and said,

“So, from the very beginning, you guys are not good things.”

Hearing this Jashan panicked, and said,

“No, Senior it was not me, it was Senior brother. I unwillingly participated in this or else Senior brother might even kill me.”

“Oh! So that girl knew all this?”

“No, no... she was just a fool. She admired the Senior brother and had feelings for him. But senior brother just wanted her body, so by bringing her along with us, he wanted to show his strength and impress her and then capture her heart.”

Hearing this, Orochi sneered. And Armelia’s mood got more complicated.

“And Senior brother had the confidence on his strength, so three of us came to the dark forest.”

“Where is the map?”

“It’s with senior brother. I think it should be inside his storage ring.”

Without needing Orochi to speak, Jashan quickly removed the storage ring from Ethan’s finger and gave it to Orochi.

Orochi dropped his blood and established a connection with the storage ring. And his consciousness entered the storage ring.
