Chapter 492: Chapter 0494 Set Up a Barrier

While they were discussing incessantly, the people ahead suddenly stopped.

"Truly, enemies often cross each other’s paths!"

Yamamoto Buki noticed the three individuals appearing ahead, who also spotted them at the same time.

Shen Congwen naturally pulled Tang Xin behind him, warily watching them; these people’s presence here definitely had an ulterior motive.

Jian Chunqiu, however, appeared indifferent, merely glancing at them lightly before looking away as if they were merely passersby.

Seeing Shen Congwen and Tang Xin both tense, Jian Chunqiu couldn’t help but chuckle: "What’s the matter? Feeling cold and planning to huddle together for warmth?"

Tang Xin was startled, only then realizing she was standing very close behind Shen Congwen, smelling the scent on him.

She hastily stepped back several paces, angrily glaring at Jian Chunqiu, thinking to herself that this old man, at such a critical moment, could still be so distractible!

Shen Congwen hadn’t even realized what was happening when he suddenly felt the warmth on his back disappear, and turning around, he saw Tang Xin had moved a few steps away.

However, Shen Congwen had no time to mind these details now; the appearance of these Japanese meant they certainly had bad intentions.

"Third, don’t act recklessly," Brother Yamamoto said with a calculating glance at Jian Chunqiu—this man was deeply scheming and inscrutable no matter how one looked at him.

Their appearance here, fearing it might align with their own objective, they must find Chu Ge before these men do.

"Alright, let’s continue climbing."

Brother Yamamoto suddenly spoke loudly.

Tang Xin curled her lip, somewhat speechless, thinking are these people just here to climb the mountain?

The Japanese continued past them, heading up the mountain.

Tang Xin noticed there were several figures nearby as well, "Since when has Beishan become a tourist attraction?"

So many people climbing the mountain, all at the same time...

"These people must’ve been brought by the Japanese," Shen Congwen speculated, "Their purpose must be the same as ours, they’ve come for Mr. Chu."

"Mr. Chu is really something, if he were still alive, couldn’t he have dropped a message? No news at all, even the place of his disappearance was truly unique."

Tang Xin couldn’t help complaining, her heart also beginning to worry, wondering if something might have truly happened to Chu Ge?

Chu Ge, currently soaking in a Sulfur Bath, couldn’t help sneezing twice.

He rubbed his nose, feeling a reduction in the pain from the medicinal bath, finding it quite pleasant to soak in the Sulfur Hot Spring now.

Huo Tianqian also lay there comfortably, "Just now, I really felt as if I was half-dead, glad I’ve finally pulled through."

Huo Tianqian worried inside—just the second day and it hurt so much, as if someone had shattered his meridians, could the third day be even more painful than today?

The child sat on a rock, swinging his legs, clicking his tongue saying, "Can’t handle this much pain, huh? Let me tell you, tomorrow it’ll be ten times worse, can you not die from this pain?"

"What?" Huo Tianqian, shocked, stood up from the water, "What did you say? Tomorrow will be ten times worse?"

Damn it! The thought alone made him hurt again.

Seeing Huo Tianqian stand up again, the child’s expression darkened, and he sternly reprimanded: "Get back into the water now!"

Huo Tianqian pulled a face and silently sat back down.

"Look at him, twenty years younger than you and still so much more mature and stable than you."

Huo Tianqian was once again looked down upon by a ten-year-old child.

He glared angrily at the child, but considering his own body condition, he resisted the urge to pull him down and teach him a lesson.

Huo Tianqian snorted and closed his eyes, laying there, no longer speaking.

Of course, Huo Tianqian wouldn’t really argue with a ten-year-old child, even if the child had no issues.

After a while, Chu Ge sneezed again, rubbing his nose and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Is it because those outside are missing me too much? Always sneezing."

Having been with Chu Ge for a few days, although Huo Tianqian’s respect hadn’t diminished, he gradually learned to joke with Chu Ge.

"Maybe those Japanese also miss you, haha," Huo Tianqian teased.

Chu Ge chuckled lightly, looking up at the sky, "Once I have recovered my martial arts, the first thing I will do is drive those Japanese out!"

Huo Tianqian opened his eyes, his gaze becoming resolute, "And the one who poisoned us! We must catch them and give them a good beating!"

The two spoke of their great aspirations, but the child listening by couldn’t help wanting to scoff, "All these are empty words, the precondition for achieving all this is you two recovering your martial arts!"

Their words fell like a bucket of cold water over their heads.

Chu Ge looked speechlessly at the child, this young yet so adept at giving cutting remarks.

"How do你知道我们就不能恢复武功 we not be able to recover our martial arts?" Huo Tianqian chuckled lightly.

"Looking at your current condition, recovering your martial arts seems very difficult," the child said, a hint of disdain shimmering in his clear eyes.

Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian were taken aback; Huo Tianqian hastily stood up again from the water, "Child, are these your own words or did Master Guangde tell you this?"

The child shook his head, "It’s not what the master said."

"So you’re talking nonsense?" Huo Tianqian really wanted to go up and slap him.

The child shook his head again, "It’s not nonsense either. Look at your current situation, half your body is out of the water, the spring water simply can’t soak it properly, how can it be effective?"

Chu Ge then looked down and saw that his chest was exposed to the air with only his stomach and below submerged in the water.

He wondered why he had been soaking so long today with no reaction.

It was strange, he had maintained the same position yesterday, so why did the water cover him yesterday but not today?

Chu Ge looked up, puzzled at the child, "Is the water level dropping?"

The child shook his head, "It’s not the water level dropping; it’s because the master reordered the Array here yesterday, raising our position, so naturally, the water level would drop."

"Reordered? What do you mean?" Chu Ge was confused.

Huo Tianqian looked at him bewildered.

"It’s setting up a new Barrier because your sudden intrusion meant the previous Mysterious Formation couldn’t remain."

"..."

Chu Ge nodded thoughtfully; indeed, it wasn’t Master Guangde trying to deter them specifically, but since they could enter, it meant others could too.

Having lived in seclusion for many years, Master Guangde naturally did not want to be disturbed. Although their intrusion was accidental, to prevent such accidents again, it was essential to change the Array.

And this time, Master Guangde had directly set up a Barrier.
