Chapter 189: Chong Xiezi

The ants slowly returned to the Beetle, and Chong Xiezi started an awkward conversation with Sage. He could only scratch out characters in the dirt, talking through text. Sage had only smuggled in a single storage ring and besides the resources hed collected in Thunder Mountain Bridge hed only packed a few Spirit Stones as emergency food for the Ants or Beetle.

Maybe I should build a method to communicate through insects.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

After a few minutes they pieced together some basic information. Sage told her he was a last remnant of the Lang Clan, and that hed snuck the bugs in. He didnt tell her that Song Lu Tian was working with him, but she seemed to accept his story. He also learned there was no specific event or enmity between her and Fu Zedong. Their clans were eternal enemies, as long as they didnt sully their reputation by committing murders in public the two clans would always try to kill each other off.

Well, Lang Sheng. Come along with me, its your duty after all.

Surprisingly, all ten had survived Thunder Mountain Bridge. On the other hand, they didnt look all that great. Fu Zedong was missing an arm and covered in gruesome wounds. Kong Min, the girl with a huge saber, also looked battered and was bundled up like a mummy with bandages. Hong Chiang, the Valorous Red Spear, had his arm in a sling and his spear had been broken into three pieces which were shoved into his belt. Jia Ling, the pyromaniac with a cold personality, was covered in soot and her clothing was torn up. One of the lucky two, the weakest of the geniuses, was missing an eye. Hed been following around Qin Bao, and from the looks of things their whole group was quite a bit battered.

Song Lu Tian, Xuan Mei, and Chong Xiezi on the other hand all looked like theyd just been on a picnic. Their clothing was in perfect condition as were their bodies. Chong Xiezi had completely recovered from her battle with Fu Zedong and with Sages help shed avoided any other conflicts through the rest of the trip. Xuan Mei, the Returning Beauty, was just as mysterious as ever. The geniuses had gossiped about her while waiting for the ring to open and not a one of them had seen her in the whole two weeks yet here she was completely untouched. They couldnt even tell whether Xuan Mei or Song Lu Tian was more powerful, no one had ever really seen how she won her battles. Not even the people that were defeated knew what happened.

After a large amount of cheering the crowd tried to get the geniuses to talk about their journey, but they all declined. Instead they each accepted invitations to different celebration parties. Paying attention to the attendants of each of these parties would be a good way to learn about the various factions and alliances that existed among the many clans and powers in the Dou Kingdom. Three major celebrations were planned. One of them was thrown by Plum Lantern City and all of the geniuses were invited. The Zhu Clan was providing the entertainment so all the important personages would show up. This party was only planned for a few hours. Afterwards, two major groups were throwing parties of their own. One group was a coalition of clans from the West part of Dou Kingdom, while the other was a group from the East. They obviously didnt have the support of every province, city or clan. Instead it was just a large group of some of the bigger powers. Neither group was aiming to overthrow the Dou Kingdom, they were simply pooling power together to bully weaker groups.

The Qin Clan, that Qin Bao was from, hosted the party for the Eastern Coalition and was attended by everyone who had worked with him in Thunder Mountain Bridge. The West was hosted by the Fu Clan. The Fu and Chong Clans were actually from the center of the Dou Kingdom and based in the capital, but all the most powerful clans had many branch clans and subordinate companies. It seemed that the Fu Clans power was based in the West.

Xuan Mei was picked up by a pair of women with face veils and the three of them swiftly disappeared. Song Lu Tian, and the Mount Song Sword Sect, were not affiliated with either Coalition. As such, they merely made an appearance at both parties. Chong Xiezi and the Chong Clan also went to both parties. They went to the western party simply to insult the Fu Clan and then went to the eastern party to goad them into provoking the western coalition that the Fu Clan was a leader of.
