Chapter 249 (2/2)

Staring into the distance, he muttered, ”I think I heard them mentioning boss's name. Are they here for my boss?”

After thinking about it for a bit, he called out, ”Jin Wo, come.”

At that command, a st.u.r.dy middle-aged man appeared noiselessly beside him. In a deferential manner, he said, ”Jin Wo is here, your highness.”

”Come on a trip with me. I need to look for my boss,” said the young man.

The man called Jin Wo replied, ”Your highness, the patriarch has commanded that you are not to leave so early.”

”b.a.s.t.a.r.d, not even you are listening to me anymore?” the young man turned around and bellowed.

Jin Wo trembled and quickly said, ”Jin Wo dares not.”

”Come with me, then,” commanded the young man overbearingly.

Just as the young man was about to leave with Jin Wo, a few silhouettes appeared noiselessly before them and blocked their way.

”Prince, please do not make things difficult for us,” said the newcomers deferentially.

”This is so infuriating. I'm going to look for the patriarch right this moment!” said the young man furiously.

With his current strength, he would not be able to leave with brute force. The only way he could leave was by the permission of the patriarch. No matter what, he did not wish to see harm come to his boss.

Within the Cloud Pavilion, Long Hui had just finished gathering some lightning elemental items for Xiang Shaoyun.

Looking at the lightning elemental spirit-grade medicines of pitiful quality, he was left speechless. He said, ”Long Hui, is this all the Cloud Margin Pavilion has? Only the high-tier spirit medicine thunderbloom and the mid-tier spirit medicine lightning snake vine? You can't find anything with better quality?”

A guilty look covered Long Hui's face as he said, ”Sorry, young master. We have a vice pavilion master called the Lightning King. He has been in seclusion trying to break through to the Emperor Realm for the past two years. Thus, many lightning elemental items have been sent directly to him. The rest were all shared between the various disciples cultivating the lightning power. Furthermore, lightning elemental herbs have always been rare. The pavilion never has much of them in stock.”

Hearing that explanation, Xiang Shaoyun couldn't even bring himself to blame Long Hui.

”Fine. You may leave first. I will be in seclusion for a few days,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

”Yes, young master,” Long Hui answered.

After Long Hui left, Xiang Shaoyun entered his cultivation room. When he failed to sense any signs of breakthrough from Zi Changhe, he muttered, ”Looks like senior brother has not finished refining the lightning power. Well, I will focus on entering the eighth-stage first then.”

Thus, Xiang Shaoyun returned to his own room and swallowed the two stalks of spirit medicines to replenish some of his lightning energy. He also made use of the two herbs to try breaking through into the eighth stage.

While Xiang Shaoyun was in seclusion, someone came delivering him a challenge.
