Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 520

At this moment, Wong Chow Yip happened to enter with a tray, just in time to hear the conversation. It made him shudder, but Wong Chow Yip kept his composure and made tea.

As if not noticing Wong Chow Yip, Chui Yim glared at Wong Pak, a four-chambered glipher that could seriously injure or kill him at any time, without the slightest respect.

Hidden in the Hidden Cloud gliph was not just his Sunray gliph that could light up the entire world, but Fury as well. Only when Chui Yim woke up from his coma did he discover the milky flame was not simply Ka Yi’s spiritual flame, it also contained the Buddhist doctrine of the Thousand-Leaves Sect.

In other words, Chui Yim, who inherited Fury, became an actual Buddhist descendant of this generation.

This situation reminded Chui Yim of a Buddhist saying; “Moderation and flexibility are important in life. We shouldn’t be too extreme and leave room for ourselves and others.”

Chui Yim turned to Wong Pak fearlessly like a newborn calf not afraid of tigers.

“Being too extreme will only lead to a worse situation.”

He took the teacup that Wong Chow Yip handed him with shaky hands and downed it immediately. “Thank you, for the warm hospitality. I shall take my leave now.”

It had been less than fifteen minutes since Chui Yim arrived, and he was already about to take his leave. Chui Yim was simply that straightforward.

Kam Chin Kee watched Chui Yim leave. He flashed a bitter and apologetic smile at Wong Pak. “I apologize on behalf of my junior brother to Sir Wong. He speaks too rudely.”

Wong Pak did not respond. He only wore an ugly expression.

“However…”

Kam Chin Kee spoke, looking up at the ceiling – at the tiger hanging from the ceiling, to be exact. It was being hung from the ceiling by sixty-four Cosmic Ropes made of precious metals. The ropes were fantastic conductors that transmitted the statue's energliph aura without waste towards all corners of the clan.

“Old Sir Wong previously asked us to evaluate the statue, right?

“I’m sure you might have heard…” Kam Chin Kee paused, pointing at his nose. “I’m Craftsman Kam.”

After four years, he was no longer the orphan trapped in Evergreen Palace, and Kam Chin Kee was sure that Cloud Palace was confident with his ability, which is why they let him and Chui Yim begin their journey down the mountain. He was aware that, as the disciple of Cloud Palace, nobody would dare to hurt him after knowing that he was Craftsman Kam.

Kam Chin Kee looked at Old Sir Wong with a wide smile. “I made this statue, and I’m the one that gave it life. Which means… it’s a piece of cake for me to make it lifeless.

The instant Kam Chin Kee waved his finger, the statue that transmitted positive energliph towards the entire Wong Clan disappeared, and the Cosmic Ropes lost their light, looking dead.

The Cosmic Ropes lit up once again, and the beneficial effects returned and lit up the entire Wong Clan the instant Kam Chin Kee kept his index finger. Wong Pak wore an ugly expression, which mostly consisted of fear.

Kam Chin Kee smiled at Wong Pak. “My junior brother is hot-tempered, but he’s a loyal friend. If Sir Wong gives him face this time round, I’m sure he will treat the Wong Clan nicely after Sir Wong leaves the world. It’s a win-win situation.”

Kam Chin Kee took a sip from his teacup as a sign of courtesy. “I’ll take my leave first.”

Wong Chow Yip turned to Sir Wong, trembling. “Grandpa, is it true that you’re-?”

“Shut up.” Wong Pak glared at him, and at the same time, numerous sounds rang out. The Wong Clan elites all dashed into the living room. The impact of the Ferocious Predatory Tiger was too huge.

It increased cultivation by twenty percent, which was equivalent to ten hours of results just by cultivating for eight hours. This might seem insignificant, but cultivators calculated their cultivation by years; this would be as good as getting a hundred years' worth of cultivation after only cultivating for eighty years. It was free progress!

The elites were like ants on hot bricks the moment the beneficial effect disappeared. “Clan Leader, is the statue faulty?”

Yet, the sight of them annoyed Wong Pak. “How are you all going to be successful if you get agitated over such a tiny issue!?”

Hearing Wong Pak, the elites looked around helplessly. Their anxiousness was just because of how much they cared for the clan.

“Return and get back to work!”

The crowd left with complicated looks. They could tell that something was off, but there was nothing they could do if the clan leader decided to be silent about it.

“Do not let anybody know about what happened today, especially about my lifespan.” Wong Pak turned to his grandson.

Wong Chow Yip’s heart dropped instantly as sorrow took over slowly. “But the Wong Clan cannot do without you, grandpa!”

“My silly boy.” Wong Pak sighed. “There’s no party in the world that does not come to an end.

“They were right. I was fighting for resources and a base for the clan, as the clan doesn’t understand how powerful the Chor Clan is.

“Chow Yip, you are my grandson, and the Wong clan leader a hundred years later. You must understand how terrifying the Chor Clan is,” Wong Pak said seriously.

“They have strict self-discipline and remain humble despite their formidable strength. Such enemies are fearsome; they never stop improving quietly while you fail to realise and let your guard down. When you do realise, they have grown beyond your reach.”

“Look, during the past few centuries, how many geniuses has their clan produced? There was even a saying that they could have become the imperial family if they wished.”

“But, they’re just an ordinary clan!” It was Wong Chow Yip’s first time hearing such secrets, and it threw him off his feet.

“The Lam Clan was just a normal clan back then too. They only became the imperial family because of the first Emperor Lam.” Wong Pak sneered. There wasn’t a hint of respect in his words for the current leaders.

“That’s why I wanted to suppress the Chor Clan now as much as I could… because who knows how great they will become after they recover?

“Sadly… Old Fox Chor had such good foresight to find them a small guardian before he passed on.” Wong Pak sighed.

The next day, the world woke up to three surprising pieces of news.

Firstly, some disciples left Cloud Palace for their journey. Secondly, it was the first time in a thousand years that a pair of Itinerants left the mountain, and the both of them were only in the two-chambered state. In the past, Cloud Palace disciples only travelled alone, and they only left the mountain when they reached the three-chambered state.

Thirdly, the two teachers paid a visit to the Wong Clan.

Nobody knew the details of the visit, but seeing how the Wong Clan suppressed the Chor Clan so badly and given how close the seventh teacher and Young Master Chor Shing Chit were, they roughly guessed that the seventh teacher was there to stand up for the Chor Clan.

The world underestimated the importance the seventh teacher placed on friendship. Chui Yim making the Wong Clan his first destination proved how determined he was to protect the Chor Clan. Nobody dared to offend Cloud Palace, and this was no different from the Chor Clan being related to Cloud Palace now.
