Re:Immortal

Chapter 73

"We are getting closer!" Said Omis in a voice filled with anxiety. They had been traveling for a while now and finally, he was able to sense the location of Lu Lu's treasure close by.

"Oh~! I'll finally meet brother Omis's disciple! Hey, old man! Do you think she'll call me big sis?"Leyla turned to Addi and asked with a grin, not allowing him to reply she continued speaking.

"Hehe~ how about aunt? Haha! me as an aunt ah~ but then again if I'm her aunt, you'll be her grandpa! Hmm, hmm." She nodded to herself, causing Addi to just ignore her with a tired sigh.

As the group continued streaking through the sky, they soon stumbled upon a gigantic ruined mountain, this one was definitely bigger than the rest, even more so than Omis's own mountain. Countless of somewhat still intact buildings prevailed all over it. One building was particularly eye-catching, a large four floored pagoda that stood at the very peak, which looked to be completely untouched by whatever had hit the mountain.

Seeing the location they happened on, Omis and Addi's gaze turned grim. Turning his head towards him Omis spoke.

"Is this what I think it is?" He asked.

Nodding, Addi answered in a serious tone.

"I'm afraid there's no mistake, it's too similar for it to be a mere coincidence."

"What? What? What is this?" Asked Leyla confused as she kept glancing between Omis and Addi in curiosity.

Taking a deep breath, Omis replied in a somber tone.

"That's our guild's headquarters."

Hearing that, Leyla's eyes lit up in interest while Silas's gaze became warier as he scanned his surroundings.

"Do you think she came here to wait for you?" Asked Leyla as she turned her head to glance at Omis.

"I guess we are about to find out." He said before turning into a beam of light that flew towards the mountain, followed by the rest.

*Bang*

The sound of him landing at the peak next to the pagoda made the entire mountain tremble as he caused various web-like cracks to appear on the ground.

Addi slowly floated down and landed gently next to Omis and grabbed him by his shoulder before speaking.

"Slow down, brother. Don't just rush in, we don't know what's in there."

Nodding, Omis summoned his 'Immortal slaying' swords with two in each hand and another two floating around him.

Addi turned to look at Leyla and Silas and gave a nod as he summoned his spear, Leyla brought her whip, and Silas had his book floating around him.

"I scanned the mountain but I didn't feel any presence, not even Lu Lu's which is strange because the link points here." Said Omis as he walked closer to the pagoda.

As he came to a stop in front of the giant pagoda door, Omis willed his Qi to push it open. A loud creaking noise broke the silence as the inside was made visible to the group.

The interior was a vast meeting hall, with a big chandelier coming down from the ceiling and a long table that sat in the middle. The walls had numerous cracks all over them.

Walking inside, Omis glanced at the floor where he had stepped on a dusty banner, it was completely black in color with a blue crescent moon in the middle.

This was their guild's flag. Looking at it on the ground made Omis feel bitter as he used his Qi to lift it and remove the dust from it before moving it to the long table in the middle.

"Whoa~! This place is huge!" Said Leyla as she strolled inside.

"The bastards ransacked everything!" Growled Addi as he followed behind.

Once upon a time, this pagoda was considered to be the center of the guild, with various treasures decorating its interior. Yet what was left from its former glorious state was a pitiful empty table and barely standing walls.

"There's no use in getting worked out over the past. We already lost the war..." Letting out a sigh, Silas answered.

"Hey~! I found an entrance!" Interrupted Leyla from the corner of the room as she pointed at an area in the wall.

"There's an array in here!" She continued.

Walking over, Omis glanced at the place where she pointed and gave a slight nod.

"That should be the safe room."

"It looks like the concealment formation broke down." Said Silas as he moved closer to inspect the array on the wall.

"Move." Addi bluntly said, as he moved in front of it pushing Silas aside and pressed his hand over the array.

He circulated his Qi and willed it to the formation causing mechanic sounds to be heard as the array glowed for a second before opening and revealing a long dark tunnel leading downwards.

"Looks like our imprints are still there." Said Addi as he strode inside, Omis and the rest following closely behind.

Torches that we're situated at the walls lit up as soon as the group made their way inside illuminating the dark tunnel.

The walk through the tunnel was short as the group quickly found their way to the other side, a well lit medium-sized room with a few sofas, a small bookshelf, and a table at the corner of the room. On the other side, were paintings of various people on the walls, there were even Addi's and Omis's portraits.

Right under Omis's picture sat a small figure cross-legged with her eyes closed. Looking at her Omis's eyes widened as his swords vanished from his hand.

A sad smile made its way to his face as he kneeled down and gently caressed the person's cheek. It was none other than Lu-Lu. Her silky black hair was now cut short, various red veins were visible from under her skin scarring her once flawless face, she was missing her left arm, and Omis could see that she was barely holding to her life.

As if feeling his touch, Lu Lu's eyes gently blinked open and met his own. Her expression confused as she stared at him.

"M-Master?" She asked weakly before her expression changed as she started coughing blood.

She quickly closed her eyes again as her wounds flared up again, and tried to stop the 'blood' from taking over her body.

Seeing that Omis quickly brought out a pill from his storage space and fed it to her, this was one of his God ranked recovery pills. He then sat down next to her and channeled his Qi towards her body to help her with her healing process.
