Night of the Broken Gliph

A teenager charged through the Forbidden Forest violently. He occasionally disturbed gliphic beasts in the process, but before they could punish the culprit that disturbed their peace, the growl followed behind him closely scared them into fleeing. 

The growl belonged to the giant demonic spider, a dangerous gliphic beasts with nobel bloodline. Smaller than a human palm, these spiders usually stayed hidden in a forest, only transforming into a gigantic spider that terrorised all other gliphic beasts when provoked! 

There were legends of how an almost ten-thousand-year-old giant demonic spider had the capability of fighting two five-chambered or thousand-gliphic state cultivators to a draw when it was angered. How powerful must the beast to do so! 

Besides the giant demonic spider, three other teenagers were similarly chasing after the first. The two leading teenagers were dressed in contrasting colours; black and white respectively. They looked like a mess, creating a striking difference between them and the final teenager trailing behind them with a playful smile, as if he was having fun. 

The more Lam Zaa chased after his target, the greater his fury grew. It had been two days and he still couldn’t catch up to him! Moreover, he had no idea what the teenager did for the spider to relentlessly chase him. It was known that a giant demonic spider’s anger do not last long, yet it was still in hot pursuit of them. Lam Zaa was already boiling with anger, and the sight of Kam Chin Kee following them cheerfully nearly drove Lam Zaa up a wall. 

Whoosh…

The commotion they caused attracted a lot of attention. Lam Zaa’s eyes lit up once he saw Cloud Palace outer sect disciples spectating them. “I am Lam Zaa, and I hope that you can lend me a helping hand in stopping this thief! I, Lam Zaa, will owe you a favour if we catch him!” 

His words quickly garnered the interest of his classmates.

What did he say? Isn’t he the crown prince? He’ll owe us a favour? Doesn’t that mean the future Emperor Lam will owe us a favour! Isn’t this a great chance? 

Many of them agreed to Lam Zaa’s request in no time. “Your Highness, there’s no need to be courteous. We’ll definitely help you catch this thief!” 

Thus, many Cloud Palace outer sect students started chasing the “thief” without even knowing what had happened. 

The group chasing after the teen quickly grew much larger, shocking him as he nearly broke into tears, especially when he saw several Cloud Palace outer sect gliphists drawing gliphs to slow him down!

He never thought that he’d end up in such a mess. 

Of course, outer sect students weren’t the only ones alerted. A team dressed fully in red were attracted by the commotion as well. In the middle of the team stood a cold-looking teenager with a mature expression unfit for his young age. 

However, he was a person the “thief” was elated to see. “Little uncle, save me!” 

The cold-looking teen who was addressed as uncle stared a the “thief” helplessly. “What trouble have you gotten into this time?” 

The teen stopped in his tracks and tried to appeal to the teenager. “Because uncle’s birthday is coming soon, I prepared a great gift for you! But who knew it would catch their eyes, they are trying to snatch it from me!” 

“Oh?” His uncle answered emotionlessly. He knew that the words of this troublemaker weren’t to be believed, but he wouldn’t just sit by and watch a Metallic Blood War Gate member be bullied. So, he stood where he was, and the Cloud Palace outer sect team led by Lam Zaa discovered him in no time. 

Many outer sect disciple recognised the “thief”’s uncle, but Lam Zaa did not. In his anger and with his status, he didn’t see the need to be courteous. He sneered at the teen in red as he forced his way forward. “Shoo!” 

The teen slapped Lam Zaa’s hand emotionlessly with a casual glance. Lam Zaa was shocked; he didn’t even have a chance to resist before the teen grabbed Lam Zaa’s shoulder with his left hand and kicked Lam Zaa’s leg out from under him! Lam Zaa was thrown on the ground before he could react. 

“Metallic Blood War Gate members aren’t for you to bully as you wish.” The teen looked down at Lam Zaa and spoke coldly. The scene of the teenager taking down Lam Zaa in the blink of an eye stunned all the Cloud Palace outer sect students. Those who failed to recognise him sought clarification immediately. 

“Well, he has the surname ‘Lee’ and given name ‘Bak’. I heard he’s the Metallic Blood War Gate Tower Master’s direct disciple!” 

“Did you know that three days ago, he slashed Pak Lai Fung into half just because he made an inappropriate comment?” 

“Eek… What a terrifying teenager!” 

“How dare you attack his highness!?” Yam Chui Yim yelled immediately. “Are you prepared for you and your family to pay the price?!” 

Lee Bak responded to Yam Chui Yim in an ice-cold tone. “Since we are here for an excursion, we represent our respective institutions. You represent the Cloud Palace outer sect, and we represent the Metallic Blood War Gate. Our individual statuses aren’t involved in this. Go home if you’re such a coward.” 

Just as both parties were about to argue, a furious growl shook the Forbidden Forest! Lee Bak’s face flushed white immediately upon hearing it. “What is that──” 

Boom boom boom! They could feel the ground shaking like giants were chasing after them! 

Boom! 

The towering trees collapsed to reveal not bright yellow rays of sunlight, but a horrifying giant spider staring down at the humans with its eight eyes. In no time, the spider located its target, the thief! “Eeeeeeeek!!” Its roar of anger actually blew down some of the trees! 

“That’s a... Giant demonic spider!” The Metallic Blood War Gate disciples screamed in horror as those that had yet to break through immediately fled! 

“Sung boy/ Sung, what the hell have you done!” Lee Bak bellowed at the teen behind him, who was almost in tears. 

“I just said that I got a gift for you! Here.” The teen, Sung boy, threw a shiny pearl into Lee Bak’s hands. 

After a short pause, the blood drained from Lee Bak’s face. “This…is the spider’s egg!” 

The spider was obviously angered at the sight of the pearl, charging at Lee Bak after letting out a shriek. 

“Sung Hau! You’re dead after this!” 

With that, Lee Bak turned into a blood-red light as he tried to escape! But why would the spider let him go? The gigantic beast shook its body. Its tail spun as it shot out spiderwebs as thick as two fingers! What made things worse was that it completed its huge spider web in no time! 

“Look what you’ve done, Sung Hau!” Lee Bak gritted his teeth. Now, both the Cloud Palace outer sect students and Metallic Blood War Gate disciples were trapped in the spiderweb.
