Chapter 578

(Unedited)



A young couple is currently walking towards the stream. They both came out from a crevice at the side of the mountain on the opposite side of the river. It seems that the two did something inside that small crevice at the side of the mountain and is currently showing blissful smiles on their faces.

As Shin Jiao looks at the two he froze on the spot as he didn't notice them a while ago. However, before he could act he saw the two looking at him in disbelief.

The two just shared a passionate time together and the beautiful young woman is still blushing. From the way, the two dressed they look like cultivators from the cultivation land. And it seems that the two belong to the same sects.

"Who are you? What are you doing in this place?" shouted the young man in vigilance.

However, the young woman beside him held his hand and stopped him from acting rashly.

"Senior, don't trouble him. He is just washing in the river.�� The woman said with an apologetic look towards Shin Jiao.

The man looks at Shin Jiao aggressively as he wraps his arms on the woman's shoulder. It's like he is telling Shin Jiao to back off and that the beautiful woman is his.

Seeing the reaction of the young man, Shin Jiao just shrugs his shoulder and continue dipping himself in the river. Suddenly the two noticed that Shin Jiao's lower garments are covered with blood. The couple suddenly felt alarmed.

"You… those blood?!…" the young man said as he pointed at Shin Jiao's blood-soaked pants.

"Oh, these… I encountered a group of beasts on the road trying to attack us. I escaped from there but a lot of bandits and beasts were killed in that battle." Shin Jiao said as he continues bathing without minding the two.

"Beasts? You've killed the beasts in this forest? Are you crazy?" the young man panicked as he immediately looks around.

"Mister… the beasts in the forest is very vengeful. They don��t like people killing their kind. If I were you, I will get out of here and run towards the city… this is not a very dangerous place." The young woman kindly suggested as she grabs the young man's hand beside her.

"Let's go, we need to warn the sect…" she said in a low voice as she drags the young man.

With a nod of his head, the two ran towards a certain direction.

Shin Jiao on the other hand didn't move and just continue what he is doing. However, there is a slight smile on his face. He heard what the woman said to the young man.

"So there is a sect in these parts… Hmmm… I wonder if there are also cultivators in here." Shin Jiao thought as he suddenly jumps out of the river and with a flick of his hand took out a robe.

He went towards the bushes and not long later came out with a new pair of clothes.

Shin Jiao followed the trail of the young couple and soon he saw them entering a valley a kilometer away from the river. Shin Jiao then saw the two taking out bangles with engraving on it. The young man step forward and gave the young woman a smile. He then inserted the palm-size bangle and a sound of clicking was heard.

The sound of gears can be heard as a large stone suddenly moved and an opening appears in front of the two. They quickly enter the opening and as soon as their figures enter the stone immediately moved and the opening was closed.

Shin Jiao saw everything that happened and showed interest in his eyes.

"They don't use Qi but instead uses mechanism… this is ancient engineering… interesting." He muttered as he jumps down and casually walked towards the stone door.

He closes his eyes and carefully listens to his surroundings. He can hear around three people breathing from a hidden place.

"So there are lookouts in this place. Hmmm… I wonder what this sect looks like." Shin Jiao thought as he walked towards the stone door.

He closed his eyes and tried to feel the stone door. However, his target is the keyhole on the side. Using his absolute sense he extended his senses and covered the whole key mechanism. After memorizing the key pattern, he lifted his hand and then turns around and left.

"Who was that guy?" one of the observers asked.

"I don't know but I have a bad feeling about that person."

"Yeah, me too. Did you see where that person walked out from? That was a very tall tree."

"Yeah, he landed like it was nothing. If that person has high martial arts or is a master, then this would be troublesome."

"What do you want to do then?"

"Let's just report this to the master."

With a nod of their heads, one of them immediately ran towards the inner part of the cavern they are in.

The remaining two young men continue looking from the hidden window at the top side of the secret entrance.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao has already walked towards the side of the mountain. He carefully picks out a simple looking rock. Then according to his memory, the pattern of the lock is slowly being formed on the simple-looking rock. He then changes the rock's surface to look like the bangle that those two were holding at that time.

"This would be good enough, right?" Shin Jiao thought as he kept it inside his ring.

He looks around and suddenly scales the stiff mountainside. With strength, it became easy for him to climb the mountain side. The hard yet smooth rocky surface of the mountainside is like clay as Shin Jiao easily inserted his finger on its surface creating five holes every time he moves up.

Not long later, he appears at the top of the mountain. And from his vantage point, he saw that the mountain is actually hallowed. And inside it is a large valley filled with many courtyards. Then in the middle, he saw a large sign.

"The Mountain Beast Sect… So that's the name of the sect," he muttered to himself.

Shin Jiao observe the uniform of the sect members inside it and took out some clothes inside his ring and combined them to create the same clothes as those people in the sect. With his disguise prepared, he secretly infiltrated the Beast mountain sect.

Meanwhile, the couple immediately ran towards each of their masters and reported what they have seen.

Not long later, a ringing bell can be heard from within the sect. Along with the ringing of the bell came the huge number of young disciples and also a lot of old people running towards the center of the sect.

The central part of the sect is a wide area in the middle of the valley. Its ground is designed meticulously and is covered with bricks of different colors forming a pattern of a huge character which is read as "Beast".

Shin Jiao blended with the group. He already knew that the couple he had seen outside are inner disciples of the sect. And this is the reason why he didn't copy their clothes. Nobody even noticed him as he just stood along with the crowd.

He even noticed that these people seem to not even know each other. And only some of them are in a group.

Well, this is an advantage for Shin Jiao as it would become easier for him to investigate this so-called Beast Mountain sect.

"What is happening, why are they making us gather?" a soft voice of a young woman entered Shin Jiao's ears.

He then noticed that a beautiful young woman is standing beside him while craning her neck to the platform while looking around.

"Well, who cares, I hope that I can see Senior Chang Song…" she muttered as a pretty smile appears on her fair face.

She suddenly noticed Shin Jiao's gaze and immediately turns her attention towards him. She was a bit taken aback when their eyes met.

Shin Jiao is also a bit surprised to see the young woman looking at him. In fact, he didn't want to stare at the woman. But he just did not expect to notice a trace of Qi in her body. It was dim and almost unnoticeable but Shin Jiao saw it clearly when he focused his gaze on her.

Suddenly the woman blushed upon seeing the intense gaze of the handsome young man beside her. She bit her lips and shifted her head to the front but she would throw glances at Shin Jiao at the side of her eyes.

"Why is he looking at me like that?" she thought as her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

In the sect it is seldom for people to meet as most of them would be busy inside their own rooms cultivating.

Suddenly she was a bit surprised and her heart suddenly beats faster as the handsome young man beside her asked something.

"Excuse me… your cultivation is... I mean you can cultivate, right?" Shin Jiao asked in a low voice.

When she heard that question, she showed confusion in her eyes. This is because everyone in the sect can cultivate martial arts. If one could not do martial arts and is not strong enough, they would not be accepted in the sect. So she was a bit surprised at this question.

However, she just showed Shin Jiao an awkward smile which shows that she seems to not have understood his question.

"Huh? What do you mean?" she asked with confusion in her eyes.

"Oh… right, right… I mean… I mean what's your level now?" Shin Jiao corrected his question upon realizing her reaction.

"Ah… that… Hihi… I'm already a martial master. It took me some time but I have already reached the threshold."

With her answer, Shin Jiao showed a confused look on his face.

Suddenly she showed realization in her eyes. The surprised look on her eyes made Shin Jiao felt alarmed. He was already thinking about how to make her silent. But looking at her innocent look, he felt a bit conflicted.

But what she said next made Shin Jiao a bit surprised.
