Chapter 618 Stingy Clone.
Shi Lang did not know what was going on with Amelia at this moment. He had just taken a few days of uneventful travel and arrived at the Teixian City. The first thing he did was to get a room in an inn. He was not hurrying to reach the Head Hunter Organization and enroll. He needed some information.
He did not have to look all over the place. Lei Hu had mastered the technique to change his size. Shi Lang carried him along on his shoulder like a pet cat. This guy was going to be very useful to him. Lei Hu had skills that allowed him to move silently in the dark, so he was an apt tracker.
After the terran had Hei Lei settled in the stable, he carried the little black cat with him through the city's busy streets. He was going to meet someone. They arrived at a busy restaurant, and Shi Lang entered it as if he owned it. This was one of the most luxurious restaurants in the city. However, this guy just came in wearing casual clothes. That was bound to attract attention from the staff.
One of the waiters approached him with a frown and wanted to tell him that this place did not welcome people like him when a deep voice sounded, "Cousin Lang, you have arrived."
The waiter turned around and found that the manager addressed this guy as a cousin. He was shocked internally but could not say anything. Shi Lang pretended to be humble and bowed his head in greeting.
A few months ago, Shi Lang discovered that a few of his clones were no longer in touch with him. He could not understand what was happening but sensed a connection when he entered the city. It turned out that a few of these missing clones had come across heavenly opportunities of their own, and their life path had changed.
They now possessed intelligence, and Shi Lang needed to ask for their permission if they were to share any information. The Terran was shocked, but then the clone in Tiexian City invited him for a conversation in the cheery blossom patio restaurant.
Shi Lang nodded, and the young man with a deep voice said, "Come along with me."
The terran nodded and followed the person inside the restaurant. They came to a room and sat down across from each other. Shi Lang observed the person from head to toe. The person opposite did not shy away from his gaze and said, "What do you think?"
Shi Lang nodded and said, "I am still surprised. What happened to you?"
The burly man said, "On the way to the central plains, five of us boarded a vessel from Ming-Yu merchants. The captain told us that they were a small business and it was their first time venturing like this. When we were crossing the barrier mountains, a legendary beast appeared and demanded compensation from the captain.
The goods did not satisfy the desire and noble status of the Dragon, and it attacked. The captain tried to tell him that the offering would increase with his business development. However, that creature did not listen and attacked the vessel.
Five of us all fell in the mountain range. We used our attacks against the ground to break the fall and suffered a few minor injuries. However, that valley seemed to be a special place. We could not communicate with you and lost access to instructions."
Shi Lang raised his brows and said, "Carry on."
The young man continued, "In that valley, we woke up under the spell of a celestial fox. She helped us, and using some secret technique, she gave us consciousness. The time inside that valley was really slow. We spent a few years there to master our skills and reach the Immortal Lord level. In the end, that lady let us go. She only asked us to strengthen ourselves and return to the valley to break the array binding her to that place."
Shi Lang raised his brows and asked, "Anything special about her?"
The young man nodded and said, "She told us to pass a message to you that Shadow Blade promised to take her away."
Shi Lang's pupil constricted. He could not help but recall the immortal god who handed him the battle skills in the inheritance palace. If they were talking about the same person, this legendary beast lady must be from the forgotten era of gods. That means she was immensely strong. He wondered why she was being held there and what sort of power could restrict an expert like that.
The more he thought about it, the more he worried about the existence that might still be after the lady and Shadow Blade. The young man across from him sensed this and said, "You are right. That lady said we should not appear outside that place until we have reached the peak of immortal sovereignty."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "I can understand that. If you do not mind, I would like to discuss this in better detail when we reach that point. As for now, can you tell me why I still have this connection with you if you all have independent consciousness?"
The young man smiled and said, "The five of us can be considered your spiritual body. When you need us, we will merge with you; that way, your strength will grow. After all, we all have our strengths now."
Shi Lang was surprised, but he was not in a hurry. He only nodded and asked, "Can you tell me what is this head hunting organization? Looking at the situation of this restaurant, you must have some information."
The young man nodded and said, "It is good that you will join the Head Hunting Organization. You can practice and fight demonic cultivators and the colluders like wise."
Shi Lang was surprised, and leaned forward, asking, "You mean to say that the organization specializes in hunting demonic cultivators and colluders?"
The young man nodded and said, "I suggest that you go and enroll tonight because tomorrow is when they will conduct a test. If you miss it now, the next test will be held six months later."
Shi Lang could not understand and the young man said, "You do not know about the centurian tournament?"
The terran nodded and the clone said, "They cancel everything when that event is around the corner in the name of training and recuprating."
The terran sighed and shook his head as he stood up from the chair and said, "Then I will be heading out. Treat me to good food sometime."
The young man was surprised and chuckled as he replied, "I did not expect you to have such wishes. Fine, you should go, I will have the kitchen save some good dishes they made today."
Shi Lang clicked his tongue and left with the remark, "Stingy."
