Chapter 1136: Crippled

　　“North Region Dao Meet?”

　　Su Zimo’s expression was calm when he heard that. He did not have much of a reaction and merely murmured softly.

　　Nian Qi continued, “It’s a gathering where Void Reversion Dao Beings and Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords of the North Region spar, interact and even trade.”

　　“I heard that it’s also to prepare for the fight for the Dharma Characteristic Ranking in the near future.”

　　For cultivators, such a grand event was definitely a rare opportunity!

　　As long as they participated in the event, even if they did not spar, they could watch from the sidelines and familiarize themselves with the Dharmic arts of other cultivators.

　　If they could spar, verify and interact with one another, their understanding of Heaven and Earth and Dharmic arts would be deeper.

　　Some cultivators might be stuck at bottlenecks for hundreds or even thousands of years without any breakthroughs. However, in this event, they might be enlightened with a single sentence from others and find an opportunity to break through!

　　Furthermore, Void Reversion Dao Beings and Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords of the North Region would also be gathered at such a grand event.

　　In reality, this event was a rare marketplace!

　　Some cultivators might need treasures or materials that other cultivators might have.

　　Both parties could trade items for treasures.

　　“Will there be cultivators of Glass Palace?”

　　After pondering for a moment, Su Zimo suddenly asked.

　　“I think so.”

　　Nian Qi said, “Even though Glass Palace is one of the immortal sects, they shouldn’t want to miss such a rare event.”

　　Su Zimo narrowed his eyes with a cold glint.

　　There was something that lingered in his heart!

　　Dao Being Xuan Yu of Glass Palace!

　　The culprit behind the destruction of the 13 cities of Yan Country!

　　Back at the Great Qian Ruins, Dao Being Xuan Yu was the one that shattered Su Zimo’s Golden Core and forced him to leap into Dragon Burial Valley!

　　Dao Being Xuan Yu was also the one that snatched away the treasure that Little Fox guarded with her life, the Fire Blocking Basket!

　　The feud between the two of them was extremely deep.

　　The feud between Su Zimo and Glass Palace was also caused by Dao Being Xuan Yu!

　　There would definitely be a fight to the death between the two of them!

　　“Xuan Yu. Now that more than a hundred years have passed, I wonder if I should refer to you as a Dao Being or Dao Lord…”

　　Su Zimo murmured softly with a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

　　After more than a hundred years, Xuan Yu might still be a Void Reversion.

　　Of course, there was also a chance that he might have already entered the Dharma Characteristic realm and became a Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord.

　　No matter if he was a Void Reversion or Dharma Characteristic, there was a high chance that Xuan Yu would partake in the North Region Dao Meet!

　　That was because the North Region Dao Meet was a grand event specially prepared for Void Reversions and Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords.

　　Right then, two figures appeared in the distance and sped over on clouds.

　　They arrived in the blink of an eye.

　　One of them wore a black robe and had a sharp expression. His eyes were deep and his expression was cold – it was Night Spirit.

　　The other person was tall and burly with a head of golden hair that was curled. His beard was also golden in color and was connected to his hair.

　　That person had his chest bared and there was a lot of fur on it – he looked extremely rough.

　　Su Zimo was stunned for a moment when he caught sight of the golden-haired man. He was overjoyed and could not help but laugh. “Seven, long time no see!”

　　The golden-haired man was none other than the Golden Lion that was sworn siblings with Su Zimo, Night Spirit and the others.

　　The Golden Lion was ranked last among the seven sworn siblings, number seven.

　　He was also equally excited when he saw Su Zimo.

　　“First!”

　　The two of them dispersed their clouds and descended as the Golden Lion shouted.

　　Su Zimo went forward and punched the Golden Lion on the chest. He scolded jokingly, “You sure are happy on your own with your lover. You haven’t seen your brothers for more than a hundred years now.”

　　Back in Myriad Phenomenon City, Su Zimo and the others planned to head to Thousand Demon Valley.

　　However, the Golden Lion was worried about its lover and decided to return to the Berserk Lion Ridge of the North Region.

　　The separation between the seven siblings lasted for more than a hundred years.

　　“I remember it too,”

　　Night Spirit was delighted in this meeting between brothers as well and added a rare, teasing quip, “What was her name? Ke Ke? She was very nice to you…”

　　“Heh!”

　　The Golden Lion lowered its head slightly and rubbed its furry palms, smiling embarrassedly.

　　Su Zimo furrowed his brows slightly.

　　Others might not be able to tell, but he could vaguely sense that something was bothering the Golden Lion.

　　At the very least, the Golden Lion did not have the same old expression at the mention of Ke Ke.

　　On the contrary, there was a hint of pain, anger and helplessness in the Golden Lion’s eyes.

　　Of course, that gaze flashed by.

　　Coupled with the fact that the Golden Lion had lowered its head, Su Zimo did not manage to see clearly.

　　He was filled with joy after reuniting with his brother after a long time and did not think too much about it.

　　“Why are you guys together?”

　　Su Zimo asked with a smile.

　　“I was bored in the capital so I came here to take a look,”

　　Night Spirit said, “To think that I would sense someone spying nearby the moment I arrived outside Ethereal Peak.”

　　When he heard that, Su Zimo laughed.

　　There were not many people in this world who could hide from Night Spirit’s senses!

　　Even the Hidden Death Sect disciples who were best at concealment could not do it!

　　Pointing at the Golden Lion, Night Spirit continued, “I walked over secretly and saw him. If not for his yellow fur, I would have killed him.”

　　This was no joke.

　　It was way too easy for Night Spirit to kill someone silently!

　　“Fufu.”

　　The Golden Lion chuckled foolishly. “Night Spirit appeared suddenly like a ghost and gave me a fright.”

　　“You still have the cheek to say that?”

　　Night Spirit said, “You stood in the forest in a daze, lost in thought. What were you thinking about?”

　　“I’m fine,”

　　Rubbing his hands, the Golden Lion lowered his head subconsciously and said in a much lower voice, “Nothing much.”

　　This time round, Su Zimo was not the only one – even Night Spirit and Nian Qi noticed something amiss with the Golden Lion.

　　The three of them exchanged glances without saying anything.

　　When Su Zimo saw that the Golden Lion was travel-worn and looked tired, he patted the latter on the shoulder. “Let’s go. Don’t just stand here. Come into the cave abode and sit down. Let’s drink and talk.”

　　“Yes,”

　　The Golden Lion nodded.

　　The four of them headed towards the cave abode.

　　After taking a few steps, Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat and he glanced sideways.

　　Previously, none of them noticed anything when the Golden Lion rode on his auspicious cloud.

　　However, as they walked, he noticed that the Golden Lion’s footsteps were not nimble – they were deep and shallow.

　　Although the Golden Lion was intentionally restraining himself, his leg was clearly crippled!

　　“Hmm?”

　　Night Spirit noticed it as well and exclaimed softly.

　　Almost at the same time, Su Zimo and Night Spirit stopped in their tracks and turned around.

　　Both of them had stern expressions as they looked at the Golden Lion with bright eyes.

　　“What’s going on?”

　　Su Zimo asked coldly.

　　“I…”

　　The Golden Lion grit its teeth as though it wanted to say something. However, after hesitating for a long time, it sighed and lowered its head.
