“Huh? What was that fleeting thing?”
“What? How could anything be there?”
“I clearly felt a gust…”
After the five Lunula Sect people entered the temple, a statue instantly caught their attention, and they didn’t notice Alex and Claudia coming in.
When they turned around, the two had long burrowed into the ground, disappearing again while leaving nothing behind.
“Monkey, I think it’s your guilt for betraying the master that you’re paranoid. Rest assured, you aren’t the only one who betrayed him. So what are you afraid of?”
“That’s right. The young master… No, that bast*rd, Julius Jackson, isn’t a good man. He even snatched my concubine away without a word of gratitude. D*mn it! His intentions aren’t earnest enough this time, asking me to come here. He has a death wish for me.”
Agitated, several people badmouthed the young master of the Lunula Sect, ignoring the surrounding situation. Meanwhile, Alex and Claudia hid beneath the temple, not moving a muscle. Claudia found it peculiar that Alex had used the Earth Escape Technique to hide right under the feet of their enemies.
The space was just a bit cramped.
It also smelled unpleasant.
She adjusted herself into a more comfortable position. Only then did favonovel.com realize that favonovel.com had actually thrown herself into Alex’s arms after the adjustment was over. That was not favonovel.com fault.
Alex was the one who controlled the Earth Escape Technique. The area in front of favonovel.com was the most comfortable, while the other areas were dry and uncomfortable. It became like that due to favonovel.com body’s natural response.
“Don’t move! There’s something strange here!” Alex sent a telepathic message to her. He was, however, so cautious that favonovel.com almost glued himself to Claudia’s ear. He felt the tortoiseshell inside his body going into an uproar.
A massive commotion had broken out. Hence, something in the temple must be attracting it.
Alex also had a vague sense of direction that the underground was why the turtle shell had such a vigorous reaction. That was right. It was beneath the temple.
Presently, Claudia heard someone shouting from above…
“This statue looks a little strange. D*mn it. They could ’ve sculptured anything else, yet all they carved was an ugly tortoise! Is this a shrine for tortoises?”
“Strange, indeed. I have seen people worshiping dragons, phoenixes, and even wolf deities, but I’ve never seen tortoise worshipers.”
“Look. There are words inscribed…”
The group found a very ancient and mysterious text on the back of the tortoise statue. Next to those texts were strange glyphs and patterns.
“This is… The martial arts of the True Martial Star-Shattering Punch,” someone exclaimed.
“What? Is this really the True Martial Star-Shattering Punch? This is extremely rare and Divine martial arts. Extremely well-known in the universe, even sanctuary sect masters would beat their brains out to get their hands on this. I didn’t expect it to be enshrined here…”
The few people were excited.
Even Claudia was breathing heavily. She held lofty status in current society and had found countless Daoist ancient books that were left behind. It was there that favonovel.com learned of the True Martial Star-Shattering Punch.
A legendary miracle, it was the only example of using martial arts to enter the cultivation path.
Legend had it that Asbel Williams from the Sota Sect had obtained a True Martial Star-Shattering Punch moves. He then broke through Void Shattering stage and soared to the immortal realm.
She even whispered to Alex, “True Martial Star-Shattering Punch is Sota Sect’s supreme treasure. It must never fall into the hands of bandits and scum. We have to stop them.”
Alex frowned. “Let’s wait and see. I somehow feel they’re not going to get it so easily.”
After that, they heard the Lunula Sect’s people reading aloud, “The one who learns the True Martial Star-Shattering Punch will instantly inherit true martialism. To show true devotion, one has to kneel and bow in its presence.”
Immediately afterward, someone said, “Pfft. It’s just a broken tortoise that died eons ago, yet it still wants us to bow before it? Does it really think it’s the king of tortoises?”
Thus, none of them genuinely bowed before the statue. Even worse, someone kicked that tortoise statue hard, breaking its leg.
