: Danger encroaches
"Third Brother, are you sure that that's the waste that was chased out of the Sima Clan?" The sharp tongued and ugly Sima Ke asked.
Sima Kai touched his arm as his eyes clouded over. That area had been deeply wounded by Sima Lie not long ago.
"Although we had not met for over a hundred years, there's no way I would have made a mistake." Sima Kai said, "It is definitely our clan's Raging Inferno Blow that is capable of injuring me."
Sima Lin, who was accompanying them, knitted his eyebrows, saying, "Third younger Bro is already a second ranked Spirit Paragon, since Sima Lie was able to injure you, could it be that his strength is even higher than yours?"
"If he had not secretly learnt the Raging Inferno Blow, how would that Sima Lie be able to injure me." Sima Kai said.
"That's right, people who have been banished from our Clan should not be able to learn our Raging Inferno Blow. Since that Sima Lie actually dared to learn it, once we capture him back, we definitely have to turn him into a waste!" Sima Ke said it through clenched teeth.
Even he had not fully mastered the Raging Inferno Blow, but Sima Lie had actually learnt it and was able to use it to injure Sima Kai. He must have been able to grasp it's essence. Once he thought about it, he clenched his teeth so hard that it hurt.
"No matter what he used, an injury is an injury!" Sima Kai said, "However, there's no need to capture him back either. He has been injured by my Spirit Pet, and definitely would not have been able to live past two days. We just have to capture those little children, that's all."
Another lady who looked middle aged gave a cold snort, saying, "Has it not already been revealed what actually happened that year? Fourth Uncle tried to escape no matter what; they wanted to escape from punishment but they were still forced in the end. Without seeing them in person, we can't know for sure."
"Seventh Little Sister, what do you mean by that!" Sima Ke heard that Sima Qing was speaking on behalf of Sima Lie and his face darkened as he chided.
"Whatever I said just now is what I meant!" Sima Qing was not about to back down as she glared at Sima Ke.
"Alright, enough. Stop fighting. Don't forget the mission that we are focusing on this time." Sima Lin said, "Third Younger Bro, are you certain that this place has a Golden Snake Fruit?"
"Eldest Bro, at that time, I was also excited for a moment and it was only then that I thought of coming to this land of exile for a stroll. I never thought that I would happen to encounter the ripening of the Golden Snake Fruit. It's just a pity that I was one step too late and when I arrived, the Golden Snake Fruit was already gone. However, I am certain that it was definitely the Golden Snake Fruit." Sima Kai said definitively.
"Eldest Uncle, with the Golden Snake Fruit, will our Great Grandfather and the others recover?" Sima You Lan asked.
Out of the entire group of people, she was the only one of a later generation. It was because she had a unique attribute that Sima Lin and the others would bring her across this dangerous Sofia Mountain Range.
"That's not a given." Sima Lin said, "It's just that the Alchemist had said before that with the Golden Snake Fruit, your Great Grandfather and the others might possibly wake up."
"Father and the others have already been mentally decapitated for so many years. If the Golden Snake Fruit is really able to heal them, our risk in crossing over this Sofia Mountain Range would not have been taken in vain." Sima Qing sighed.
"The amount of time we have for this journey is tight. We have to quickly look for the Golden Snake Fruit as well as bring back Fourth Uncle and the entire Clan back with us." Sima Lin said.
"We are also unsure of who the Golden Snake Fruit has landed up with." Sima Ke said, "Although this land of exile isn't that big, it isn't small either. It's uncertain how long we have to take to look for it."
"It shouldn't be the case." Sima Kai said, "The activity that took place when the Golden Snake Fruit was so big that it definitely would have attracted many people over. Who it finally ended up with shouldn't be much of a secret. When the time comes, we just have to go to the city and listen around for a bit and should be able to figure it out."
"How long more before we are finally able to enter the city?" Sima Qing asked.
"Half a day"
When night came, the group finally arrived at the city gates. Because the sky had darkened, everyone looked for an inn to rest in.
When morning of the second day came, Sima Ke looked for the innkeeper to settle the cost of the rooms before taking out a few gold coins. He placed it in front of the innkeeper and said, "Innkeeper, do you happen to know someone called Sima Lie?"
"Who in this capital doesn't know of Sima Lie!" The innkeeper smiled happily as he kept the golden coins. He said, "That's actually the General of our Dong Chen Kingdom. Don't tell me that you all had remained in the mountains to cultivate without caring for the things outside?"
