After having dinner, Wufu and the others returned to their designated guest room to continue discussing the news they heard in the hall.
"What do you think?" Wufu asked Ah Jiu while holding a cup of hot tea.
Ah Jiu replied, "I fear that this matter is not so simple. Since the Cloud Realm, which seems to be Cloud Fort’s territory, has its Treasure Tower built at the center, it’s akin to a forbidden area. Would they open such an area to the public just because a traitor escaped into it?"
The two exchanged a glance and spoke in unison, "Unless this traitor is far more important than the Cloud Fort’s Treasure Tower."
"Or perhaps he took Cloud Fort’s most prized treasure, forcing them to open this Cloud Realm and gather everyone’s strength to capture him," Wufu added imdiately.
Ah Jiu nodded, "That’s very possible."
"Cloud Tower is a flourishing Martial Family, having stood strong in the Jianghu for over a century. They’re almost comparable to the century-old families of the imperial court. And since they mingle in the Jianghu without too many restrictions, the treasures within must be innurable." Hoo Die’s eyes sparkled, "It is said that the legendary sword, the Moonlight Sword, is housed within this Cloud Fort."
Wufu said, "Oh, you seem to know quite a bit. Why don’t you gather so information on what exactly Cloud Fort is up to by opening the Cloud Realm?"
Hoo Die shrank her neck.
"Sir, should I go investigate?" Tang Shi asked Ah Jiu for instructions.
Ah Jiu, however, looked at Wufu, "Do you want to go?"
"If there’s nothing else, going to take a look wouldn’t hurt. Anyway, there’s nothing to do in the capital. If I can’t get any peerless martial arts, getting so Gold and Silver Treasures would be nice. To be honest, I’m quite poor." Wufu laughed.
Everyone’s mouths twitched, you’re poor? Didn’t you just co into a fortune these past few days?
Wufu glanced at Chi Yi and the others standing in the room, squinted his eyes: "Moreover, it’s a great place for training." Not just for Chi Yi and the others, but a good training opportunity for herself as well.
Over the past year, although her combat power had been steadily increasing, she lacked practice and practical experience, especially since she was training in a new body, hence her combat power still fell short of her peak in her past life.
And no amount of theory compares to actual combat; only through real combat can one quickly enhance their fighting ability.
Therefore, the Cloud Realm truly piqued her interest to explore.
Chi Yi and others, receiving Wufu’s gaze, inexplicably felt a chill in their hearts.
"If you have important matters to attend to, don’t mind . I’ll just take Chi Yi and the others for so fun." Wufu assud Ah Jiu was unavailable when he didn’t imdiately decide.
"For fun? Little Fox, that’s the Cloud Realm. With no Inner Strength or Qinggong, be careful not to lose yourself in there!" Hoo Die snorted.
A sharp, cold gaze shot over, Hoo Die shrunk her nose, muttering, "I was just stating facts, why glare at ."
Wufu scoffed, "You can rest assured on that point; in such a place, it’s possible that soone without ’martial arts skills’ like has more experience than you do."
Isn’t this just a jungle? In her past life as a rcenary, she and her team had undertaken a mission to eliminate drug lords whose base was hidden in the jungle. After they escaped, she and two associates tracked them for nearly a month before delivering them to the client.
That’s one thing. Before being qualified for missions, during her training in the troops, the experiences she went through were not insignificant.
Wufu montarily reminisced about her forr team’s life, although they traversed through wind and fire, it was always colorful and thrilling.
Ah Jiu saw her distraction and waved his hand, saying, "Then let’s go together and have a look. I also want to see the strength of this Cloud Fort."
