Chapter 341: Consequences.

Yang Dao did not know that the four have managed to get a hold of his position. He sat under the bamboo shed with his eyes closed and ignorant to the world. During this time of meditation, he was focused only on the inside of himself. The Dao resonance was sealed off to avoid being located by the familiars and thus a thin layer of dust had accumulated over his clothes. 

His face, however, was clear as usual. The dust was the consequence of his seals. His eyelids flickered, but they did not open. The mountain top had become the center of the world. RALF spoke, "Master, four people are approaching." 

Yang Dao did not react, as he was immersed in meditation. The four people also received the message the boy had left earlier. 

...

On the cliff opposite to where Yang Dao sat, four people were gathered. Ryu Jinshi was slightly pale and held a crutch in his hands. Despite the heavenly blessing of healing, the man still had trouble walking on his own. 

Atsuji Kurogame was having trouble breathing. His old age seemed to have caught up with him. The powers of the heavenly spirits were sealed, making them mortal. Climbing so high on the mountain was not something they could do with ease now. 

Laohu Bai and Feng Yun stood together with cold eyes, and they did not look at the two men. The dragon unit had given the two men a pack of equipment at the base of the cliff. They were not allowed to move with them. This was not to maintain secrecy but to make sure that Yang Dao was not disturbed. 

Feng Yun was about to fly over to where Yang Dao was when she received the message left from the boy. The AI spoke in its indifferent voice, "Master has left a message, Miss Feng." 

Feng Yun hesitated a bit and said, "Tell me."

"Those who disturb me shall pay for it with their lives." Yang Dao's voice sounded from the phone. They all froze up in their tracks. 

Laohu Bai tightened her jaws and clenched her fists hard. She said, "I came here and decided not to be angered but looks like I have no other option but to kill you." her cold voice sent shivers down the two men. They were really weak enough for their physical body to die. Laohu Bai was cruel and will shred their bodies to pieces. 

Feng Yun shook her head and said, "A moment of impulse is the reason behind today's situation. We shall not do something that may anger him any further. Xiao Bai, we have powers and can manage not to disturb him. They are responsible for their actions. Let us go." 

Laohu Bai snorted at the two men and left with Feng Yun. Atsuji Kurogame let out a breath he held in his lungs and said in a low voice, "She would have killed us." 

Ryu Jinshi said, "I never had a doubt. The youngest of us is the calmest, yet her temper is also the most fierce. Yun might give us a way off despite being cold, but Xiao Bai will kill us without even the slightest of hesitation." 

Atsuji Kurogame nodded and then the two of them started to descend the cliff. They were using completely mortal means to get to where Yang Dao was. This was the consequence of their arrogance. The two of them may not admit it, but they were very arrogant about their strengths as the elemental gods. Thus, when Feng Yun and Laohu Bai knelt in fear and surrender, they hesitated. 

They would have knelt to show their devotion to Yang Dao, but when the boy pointed out their flaw, they flinched, and that flinch was enough to cause the Dao Child to take away their powers. He did not need to go through some hectic procedures to seal their powers, he only needed to have the thought and their powers will seal off by themselves. 

This was the perk he had for mastering the Dao Resonance. His thoughts became the will of the heavens. While the two people climbed down the mountain in silence, Feng Yun and Laohu Bai landed in front of Yang Dao. 

The two ladies did not walk close to him, but knelt a few meters away. They sealed off their powers to not cause any disturbance to the boy. Feng Yun was shedding tears from the moment she landed in this place. She saw the dust accumulated on his clothes and it pained her heart too much. 

The tears were not the precious tears of the phoenix. They were the tears of a mortal lady. She had sealed off her heavenly spirit powers to make penance. Laohu Bai was calm and her head was hovering over the ground by a few millimeters. She had also sealed her heavenly spirit powers. 

She wished to bang her head on the ground, but she did not dare to make the slightest of noise as to not disturb the boy in front of him. She could sense that he was immersed in deep meditation and if he was disturbed, then he may get injured seriously. 

The two decided to stay like that until the boy wakes up. As for the two men, they did not care. The time passed away quickly, and the people seemed to have become stones. The ladies kept maintaining the kowtow position constantly, and the boy kept sitting in meditation. It took Atsuji Kurogame and Ryu Jinshi a week to get to the top of the cliff. 

They came and found the ladies kowtowing to the boy in silence. They exchanged a glance and followed the lead. They were aware of their deeds and thus they decided to pay for their sins with the same vigor they committed the sins. 

Yang Dao, at this moment, perceived the fire element inside him. His body was washed over with a warm current. The heat from the flow of his blood, from the consumption of energy inside his cells. All this heat was giving him a sense of warmth. The boy had been stuck at this point for a week and finally, the effort and dwelling paid off. This time, he was able to count the time in his mind. It must have been two weeks since he last woke up.
