The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episode 51's. Gofan Search

Mouhuli came out of the lake, after a full night of touring the lake, swimming in search of Gofan. But all his search efforts, still did not produce results. Mouhuli appears at the pier on the opposite side of the island.

"Queen. What's going on?"

Julala asked Mouhuli.

Julala arrived inside the dimensional space moments before Mouhuli appeared at the pier, Julala had just finished packing all her precious treasures into the space bag Gofan had given her.

The day had changed by morning, based on the plan, it should be the day that Gofan would try to break the curse seal of the Twin Dragon Golden Sticks.

"The boy disappeared, Gofan disappeared at the bottom of this lake"

- Damn, is he dead?, to the extent that even the body is not left?-

Mouhuli had gone through every corner of the lake, but there was not a single trace of Gofan's existence.

Gofan disappeared as if swallowed by the earth, even if Gofan died from that continuous explosion, there should be a trail of blood or corpses, but it was completely absent.

"What!?"

Yubing and Nian were shocked to hear Mouhuli's words.

Julala came into the dimensional space, followed by Yubing and Nian, when they reached the pier, they saw Mouhuli repeatedly going in and out of the lake, as well as Bailaohu.

"Oh, it turns out you guys.... Why are you still in this forest?"

"Julala. Why did you bring them here?"

Mouhuli already knew about Yubing and Nian, she just did not expect, the two friends of Gofan, it turned out to still be in the Drought Bamboo Forest.

"They came a moment ago, they insisted on meeting Gofan. I'm sorry, Queen, because I was so presumptuous to bring them here"

Julala told me honestly what was going on.

"Right Senior, it was us who forced him to take us to Gofan, we had some lucky encounters and wanted to give them to Gofan, therefore we are still in this forest"

Yubing said as he bowed in respect.

"Senior, what really happened to Gofan?"

Imbuh Yubing, he had already calmed down after being shocked for a moment when he learned that Gofan disappeared at the bottom of the lake. Yubing was trying to figure out what really happened.

Nian did not say much because he was still not fully recovered from his injuries, he only noticed Julala who he thought was very strange. Julala is a beast and has not reached the stage of changing into human form, but very fluent in human language.

Thanks to the human-speaking Julala, Nian and Yubing, there is no longer any confusion to find Gofan's whereabouts.

***

Previously, after finishing sharing lucky meetings evenly. Yubing and Nian parted ways with Elder Mogui and Yanse's group, they decided to meet Gofan. Elder Mogui and group Yanse decide to return to their respective colleges.

"Yubing Swordsman. Your junior still seems to need to be treated and you still have poison. Are you sure you'll stay in this forest?"

Yanse asked, as he and his group were preparing to exit the Drought Bamboo Forest.

"I'm sure. After finding Gofan, we will return to the nearest town as soon as possible to seek treatment"

Sahut Yubing with the intention that has been rounded.

Nian actually wanted to reject Yubing's plan, but he still hadn't fully recovered from his injuries, so he just kept quiet and followed Yubing's words, instead,

senior, you only have five days left, but you just want to see the boy, I really don't understand

Thought Nian.

Nian was not worried about her, but worried about the poison in Yubing's body.

"Young Miss, are you sure you don't want these Demon Pearls? This is your part"

Ask Elder Mogui to Yubing.

When Mogui distributed the stealth pearls, Yubing refused to accept his share, saying he was already happy enough to get the scrap metal folding fan and give the stealth pearls his share to give to Mogui.

"Related elder. Something that has been given should not be asked back"

Yubing firmly.

Mogui nodded and stored the stealth pearls into the s.p.a.ce bag and left with Moyo, returning to the Dragon Spear College after saying farewell.

Lingzi and Canglini did not say much, they immediately went after Mogui and her granddaughter after saying goodbye. The Canglini and Lingzi schools are in line with the Dragon Spear College. They thought it would be safer if they came home accompanied by an elder of Mogui's class.

"Yubing Swordsman. Do you have any idea who the owner of the voice previously helped us?"

Hanbo asked who was preparing to leave with Yanse.

As he was about to leave, Hanbo recalled the incident, the voice of the unresourced women suddenly sounded and warned them to remove the traces of Jangbi's blood and not to make a scene when they were attacked by a group of Bamboo Bear children.

"Mh... You could say it was Gofan's senior. I think he was the one who helped us in the fight before, killing those two bandits"

Yubing did not know who the owner of the voice was, he only knew that the female voice without the source was related to Gofan.

Yanse and Hanbo became reminded of the two bandit corpses burned to the ground by the Mogui elder, after hearing Yubing's reply. They remembered that the two bandits had suddenly died without cause while fighting.

Yanse and the others were too busy fighting and defending, they did not know for sure how the two bandits could die.

Only after hearing Yubing's reply did Yanse and Hanbo learn that someone other than Elder Mo was helping them.

"I was completely negligent, unaware that senior brother Gofan had been helping us from behind all this time. Swordsman Yubinh, please give this to Gofan and his senior"

Yanse left a pouch of space to Yubing to give to Gofan and the senior who only heard his voice was aka Xionan.

"It may be just supplies for ordinary people, but I'm sure, it'll be useful for Gofan"

Imbuh Yanse, before giving his farewell salute and going darting out of the Drought Bamboo Forest with Hanbo.

That was how it ended up, with all of them gone, Yubing and Nian began their journey eastward, heading towards the Mouhuli cave.

When he arrived in front of the cave to the east of the Drought Bamboo Forest, Yubing and Nian met Uroro who was fast asleep in front of the cave entrance. Yubing awakens Uroro, but because he cannot communicate, they stay long enough in front of the cave hole.

Yubing and Nian did not understand what Uroro said, nor did Uroro understand what Yubing and Nian said.

Uroro sent a voice message to Urori who was still standing guard in front of the dimensional space portal.

In front of the dimensional space portal, Urori seemed to be conversing with a young Bamboo Bear who had just walked out of the dimensional space.

*Urore, why are you getting battered like this? didn't the ancestors ask for your help? what did you do, until it was like this?*

Urori ignored Uroro's voice messages, as he was shocked, when he saw a young Bamboo Bear named Urore coming out of the dimensional space with a battered body.

*No.. There is nothing, but, if next time the ancestors ask for help from the young Bamboo Bear, I hope that brother will call the other young Bamboo Bear*

Urore to Urori. Seen the young bear's face was full of trauma, he was embarrassed if he had to tell the reality that Mouhuli and Bailaohu had done to him.

Urore is a young Bamboo Bear who is forced by Mouhuli and Bailaohu to urinate, to be taken in his urine and made into eye drops.

Initially, Urori receives a voicemail from Mouhuli to send a young Bamboo Bear who has never mated into the dimensional space and Urori chooses her sister, Urore, to be sent away into dimensional space.

Urore never expected that the day she agreed to her brother's words was a fateful day for her. When he arrived at Mouhuli's hut, Urore was asked to urinate. However, since he could not, Mouhuli forced him to drink a lot of water.

Dozens of lake water jars have not made Urore want to urinate, Mouhuli still forced him until Urore finally escaped and chased after the chase happened. After being recaptured and drinking an additional dozens of lake jars, Urore was finally able to urinate.

When Urore thought everything was over, even more terrible things happened. Bailaohu also forced her to go crazy. Urore was forced to drink even more water from the lake, even Bailaohu forced violently with violence. Urore was even forced to drink water directly from the lake, he was repeatedly drowned by Bailaohu on that cold night.

*why? Serving ancestors is an honorable thing, you should be proud*

Said Urori answering the words of his sister who now looked trembling. Urore just kept quiet and did not answer Urori's words.

*Why your sister? It seems he is not well*

Julala appeared in front of the sisters, she had just finished packing her precious treasure and was about to enter the dimensional space to meet Gofan.

*Julala, you better get out first, outside the cave there are two senior girl friends looking for her, it seems Uroro has trouble talking to them*

Urori did not answer Julala's question but rather, delivered Uroro's voice message when he saw Julala arrive in front of him.

*senior? you mean Gofan?, the human that the Queen is currently training?*

Ask Julala.

*It's true.. So it's Gofan*

Urori did not know Gofan's name before, as Gofan never introduced himself.

*Surely he has trouble talking to them, he knows only the language of beasts, shhh, you should imitate me, learn human language*

Julala turned around and headed towards the cave entrance.

Because of her closeness to humans, especially with Lenchan and her family, Julala is trying hard to learn human language. During his three years in the Drought Bamboo Forest, Julala often visited Mouhuli to learn human language.

That's how Julala finally communicates with Yubing and Nian, then invites them to meet Gofan in dimensional space.

***

Mouhuli recounted what happened without telling about the mental stone, saying only that Gofan was training his mental energy and explosion after explosion occurred and Gofan disappeared without a trace. Even after Mouhuli used her perception and mental energy, Mouhuli remained unable to discover Gofan's existence.

"Myan. You wait here, I'll help find Gofan"

*Kecebyur*

Yubing dives into the lake, swims in search of Gofan, he uses his inner power to coat himself to stay able to breathe at the bottom of the lake.

Nian just nodded silently, then sat on the edge of the pier. Nian also wanted to help but his condition was not allowed, he could only pray and wait for the results of Gofan's search development.

"Hey...The snake! Who're they?"

Bailaohu asked Julala when he appeared out of the lake, he also failed to find Gofan's whereabouts. When Bailaohu came out of the lake he saw Yubing along with Mouhuli diving into the lake.

"Senior Greeting. They're Gofan's friends.... Excuse me, I'd like to help you find Gofan"

Julala sahut before creeping diving into the bottom of the lake, following Mouhuli and Yubing who had first entered the lake. Bailaohu just silently looked at Nian's back, he did not answer Julala's words.

"Sad... Humans, if you weren't Gofan's friend, I would've killed you, like I killed those humans"

*Kecebyur*

Bailaohu returns to dive in search of Gofan. Bailaohu does not like humans, even he initially, does not like Gofan, but after learning that Gofan is half-stealthy and Gofan-made soup is really delicious, Bailaohu becomes fond of Gofan.

While on his way to Mouhuli's place, outside the Drought Bamboo Forest, Bailaohu encounters a group of humans. Bailaohu wordlessly slaughtered and killed them, which is where the dimensional ring he gave Gofan came from.

- What's with the demon?-

Nian heard what Bailaohu said, before the White Tiger Demon dived into the lake.

- Really.... I almost forgot, a demon is still a demon, a cruel beast without mercy

Thought Nian, with a face that looked full of anger.

Some time this, due to Gofan's influence, Nian begins to get used to demons, he no longer considers demons as enemies. However, after hearing Bailaohu's words, Nian regained his senses and again considered demons to be enemies and still had to watch out.

Inside the lake, Xionan was still going around looking for traces of Gofan's whereabouts. Not once, he came out of the lake, from last night until now, Xionan still continued to search for Gofan. Xionan was truly sorry to have left Gofan alone, when the explosions occurred.

I'm sure you're still here. Fanfan, I will definitely find you

Despite not finding the slightest trace of Gofan's existence, Xionan believes that Gofan is still at the bottom of the lake. That's what keeps Xionan going around looking for traces of Gofan's whereabouts.

Indeed Gofan is still in the lake, only his existence is hidden by a protective formation. Gofan, currently inside a clam the size of a human baby, was unconscious.

"Dad. Is he really that?"

Said a girl standing next to Gofan. Gofan lay unconscious on a bed made of rocks.

"Yes. Look...! Isn't she similar to the one in this painting, she's also half human and half demon, her hair is also white"

The girl's father showed her a painting.

In the painting is a white-haired man, standing on top of a mountain. The white-haired man's body shone like that of a God, but half of the man's body was hairy like a monkey and had a scaly tail like a dragon's tail.

Seriate...
