Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 513

“I would most probably be dead right now if not for Brother Siu. Despite only meeting him for a short period of time, we went through life and death together, thus, I choose to trust him and believe that he’s alive and that we will meet again in the future even if Mister Cheuk fails to sense his vitality,” Chui Yim said softly.

Kam Chin Kee would definitely not have such a strong feeling for a friend he had only known for less than half a day, but since it was Chui Yim, everything became reasonable.

“I’m sorry,” Kam Chin Kee said out of the blue.

“For what?” Chui Yim turned to him, shocked.

“It should’ve been me instead accompanying and protecting you.” Kam Chin Kee shook his head.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Chui Yim chuckled. But what he didn’t know was that Kam Chin Kee was actually feeling guilty about how he couldn’t join Chui Yim’s Western Desert trip because of the golden scale he consumed the day before, forcing him into enlightenment.

Initially, Sung Tsz Hin planned to have them take the journey together. Therefore, Kam Chin Kee subconsciously blamed himself for the danger Chui Yim faced; if he was around, Chui Yim might not have had to face such a dangerous situation.

Watching Kam Chin Kee’s expression, Chui Yim roughly guessed his thoughts and patted his waist. “Don’t overthink things. Have you forgotten about my lifesaver?”

Kam Chin Kee naturally knew that Chui Yim was talking about the pouch his mysterious father gave him. And indeed, Chui Yim was prepared to open the black pouch if things didn’t work out even after he got hold of Fury and check what was written in the pouch.

“Drink up.” Chui Yim passed Kam Chin Kee the wine. “The moon’s shining brightly today.”

Kam Chin Kee did not reply, he only chucked the wine down.

“There won’t be a next time,” he told himself.

Kam Chin Kee regarded Chui Yim as a kindred spirit, and he would not forgive himself for putting his brother in a dangerous situation because of his carelessness. His Great Cerulean Mountain was just a trace of the Heavenly Realm, but it was up to him for what technique he would end up learning from it.

Chui Yim chose to combine his burning Heavenly Realm with the Bloody War Strike into the powerful offensive Flowing July Flame that was just like his character – blazing and aggressive.

Meanwhile, Kam Chin Kee chose to turn the Great Cerulean Mountain into a shield that could block everything because he wanted to protect. In his past life, he wanted to protect the girl who was just like his younger sister.

And in this life, it would be his brother, Chui Yim.

The next day, Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee went to the peak of Cerulean Mountain under Sung Tsz Hin’s lead. They were naturally there to pay a visit to the Seven-Star Elder.

To be exact, Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee had only met the Seven-Star Elder twice; once when they first arrived and once when the Seven-Star Elder passed down the first style to them. It was quite a weird situation to rarely meet one’s own master.

They were here today because the teens had broken through to the two-chambered state, so they were here to learn the second style from the Seven-Star Elder, but meeting one’s master only thrice in four years? Such a situation would be weird in any other institution.

Even now, the mountain peak was still surrounded by fog and cloud, and the Seven-Star Elder was still holding the fishing rod, fishing into emptiness.

“Master, Sixth and Seventh Junior Brothers are here to seek teaching after breaking through to the two-chambered state.”

The Seven-Star Elder nodded softly and waved his hands. Sung Tsz Hin nodded and left with a bow.

Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee bowed, not daring to get up after feeling their master’s aura that made a chill run down their spines.

They felt that the elder was both present but not at the same time.

To put it simply, they could feel the pressure from nature; the fog clouds, Cerulean Mountain, but not their master. It was as if he was one with nature.

Just then, both of them felt an invisible aura surge into their glabella. Chui Yim opened his eyes abruptly, his orbs milky white in colour and without pupils. It was the same situation as when he was taken over by Ka Yi and the others’ energy. However, all Chui Yim saw now was darkness.

He looked around to discover that he was in a vast pitch-black space, and faint sounds that resembled cries of sorrow or chanting of scriptures could be heard.

Whoosh…

In the night, he felt a gush of hot wind. It blew the night away; to be exact, it burned the night away.

A scary ball of purple flame appeared in the night, lighting – no, burning the space up. The best description would be that a black piece of paper caught fire from a ball of purple flame and started spreading uncontrollably. Chui Yim watched the purple ball of flame closely.

He stared at it so hard as if he wanted to see through the flame, but all he could hear was the cries of sorrow and the monks’ chanting.

The louder the noises got, the more annoyed he felt. At last, the scary noises surrounded him totally, nearly driving the teen crazy!

Huff! At the very last moment, Chui Yim opened his eyes abruptly to discover that he was badly drenched by his own sweat!

He subconsciously turned to the Seven-Star Elder to find the elderly man standing quietly on his spot. The man shook his head and pointed at Kam Chin Kee.

It seemed that Kam Chin Kee was still in the midst of it.

Kam Chin Kee was currently in the woods, standing in a stream.

The stream was only ankle-deep, but for unknown reasons, Kam Chin Kee could not seem to get his foot out of the stream.

Time flew past, and it had been three days and nights since Kam Chin Kee was stuck in the stream. Sadly, it didn’t seem to have the intention of letting the teen off.

The surrounding woods became scarier as time passed. The trees that pierced through the skies curled in his direction, wanting to push down on him. The stream also seemed to gain vitality and turned into countless water snakes that coiled around Kam Chin Kee. Unable to move, Kam Chin Kee could only be coiled and swallowed by the snakes.

“You can underestimate the mountains, but not water,” an elderly man’s voice rang across the place.

Boom!!

Kam Chin Kee abruptly opened his eyes, sweating a cold sweat just like Chui Yim as if he was facing some monster! He turned to the Seven-Star Elder with respect.

Just a small move from the elderly man could trap him in a mental attack, making him unable to escape.

If the elderly man harboured evil intentions towards them, he would be able to take their lives on the spot immediately!

But Kam Chin Kee knew that the other was just passing some styles to them.
