Chapter 268: Elder Xiang!

”Such talent really shouldn't be wasted. Since your Wang Clan is a clan of ministers and general, you should leave this young lass with me. In the future, she might become an invaluable expert to your clan!” the Demonic Emperor Old Man said.

”Teacher, don't worry. Feel free to teach her as you please. I'll explain everything to my mother,” Wang Chong replied.

It wasn't easy to find someone who could curb his little sister. Wang Chong was no samaritan, so his little sister was truly foolish to have thought that she could have depended on him to talk his teacher out of this.

It was already a huge kindness on his part that he didn't get his teacher to intensify her training.

”Un.”

The Demonic Emperor Old Man nodded before looking at Wang Chong worriedly.

”I don't know whether it's a right decision for me to impart to you the Little Yinyang Art—your progress is too fast. I thought that since you weren't a member of the martial world, your cultivation wouldn't progress too fast. To think that being in the military would actually augment your cultivation instead. This ultimate technique might be powerful, but it has a fatal flaw.

”This also played an important reason as to why I was done in by that unfilial disciple back then. Chong-er, you must remember that you mustn't rush with the Little Yinyang Art. If possible, it would be best for you to slow things down so as to prevent any future problems.”

”Teacher, rest assured. I know what I must do,” Wang Chong chuckled, thinking nothing much of it.

The reason why he was interested in the 《Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art》 was because it was the quickest way to raise one's cultivation. As for the side effects he would incur due to it...

If he could change Great Tang's fate and prevent that catastrophe, what did those side effects count as?

The Demonic Emperor Old Man didn't say anything, but he clearly saw the nonchalance in Wang Chong's eyes. Knowing that there was nothing he could say that would change the young man's mind, he could only sigh.

He was the one who had imparted the Little Yinyang Art to Wang Chong, so he was the origin of this all. All he could do now was to see if he could find a solution to resolving the flaws of both the Little Yinyang Art and the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art.

Let's hope I can succeed! …, the Demonic Emperor Old Man thought, looking into the brilliant yellow sky.

Having lived in the martial world for too long, he was accustomed to schemes and vicious battles. Suddenly coming into contact with the Great Tang royal court and an ordinary worldly life with the Wang Clan, he suddenly found the tension he had accumulated over his life loosening rapidly.

There were no schemes here, no one knew that he was the Demonic Emperor Old Man, and no one feared him like the plague. All there was here was this simple and peaceful life.

Teaching a decently talented disciple; cultivating at a spirit vein in the depths of a mountain where no one knew him; facing the assaults of a young lass from time to time while bickering with her everyday, forcing her to work diligently in her cultivation.

When he was free, he could even brew a cup of fragrant tea, have some braised beef with sesame seeds scattered on it, and take a few sips of wine.

The peaceful life had brought unprecedented calm to his soul as well, and he found himself completely relaxed.

The Demonic Emperor Old Man was extremely fond of the current life he had.

And he really loved the two students he had accepted in his declining years, as well. They bore no malice or schemes toward him. Well, the lass did attack him from time to time, but that was due to her fervent wish to get off the mountain.

As for Wang Chong, the Demonic Emperor Old Man could sense that there was something extremely heavy buried deep in his heart, but that was not aimed at him.

He could sense that Wang Chong treated him completely earnestly, and there was no falsehood behind his gestures.

He could tell that Wang Chong really thought of him as his teacher.

And to the Demonic Emperor Old Man who had lived his life in bloodshed and betrayal, such sincere kinship was invaluable.

No matter what, he didn't want anything to happen to these two children.

Flinging his sleeves, the Demonic Emperor Old Man turned around and walked into a hall.

At the same time, Wang Chong looked around the surroundings before walking over to the corner of a man-made hill.

”How is it?” Wang Chong asked.

”Reporting to gongzi, as per your orders, the construction of Training Grounds Number 2 is ready, but there aren't sufficient living quarters and dining halls at the moment. Thus, we might still need a few months before we can set everything in place,” a middle-aged Wang Clan guard reported from the side of the artificial hill.

This guard went by the name of Xu Ping, and just like Meng Long and the others, had been in the Wang Family Residence for more than a decade now. While his martial arts weren't on par with Shen Hai and Meng Long, nor was he a very intelligent person, he excelled in getting things done.

Anything that was instructed of him would surely be completed perfectly and on time.

Training Grounds Number 2 was Wang Chong's plan to open up another base aside from this one here.

The spirit vein Wang Chong had discovered extended over a vast area, and a training ground for his recruits didn't require that big a space. It would be a huge pity to let it go to waste.

Thus, Wang Chong initiated his “Training Grounds Number 2” plan. At the northern end of the spirit vein, a considerable distance away from this camp, he would establish another training ground and open it to the public.

That training ground would serve a similar purpose to the residence he constructed just beyond the White Tiger Peak, and it was an equally important link to his plans, as well.

”How many people can Training Grounds Number 2 house at the moment?” Wang Chong asked as he gazed at the northern end of the mountain range. He couldn't see it clearly due to the lush forest in between, but in the distance, there was an arched roof rising slightly above the forest, dyed golden by the rising sun.

It was probably one of the buildings in Training Grounds Number 2, still in progress.

”It can house around thirty to forty people at the moment,” Xu Ping replied seriously after a moment of contemplation.
