228 Dream Realm (1/2)
”Ah, I see!”
Meng Lian examined Fang Yuan as her eyes glittered. ”What a gifted person to be able to find your own way to become a dream master!”
”Perhaps!”
Fang Yuan's expression did not change, but inside, he was laughing.
Even though Meng Lian was a dream master like himself, she should be stuck at the dream-building stage, comparable to a spiritual knight at the peak of elemental gathering realm. Since she had not achieved a breakthrough to the elemental opening realm, she was unaware of her own hidden potential.
After realising this, his interest towards Meng Lian and the Dream Realm grew.
”Who's that?”
”What audacity! How dare you trespass the Qin Family's mansion!”
With such a huge commotion in the room and the fact that both Fang Yuan and Meng Lian did not bother to hide, they were quickly discovered.
He could detect the fury in all of them.
As they found out the death of Lady Xu, they were even more infuriated.
”Kill!”
Around the patriarchal hall, people started to appear. They were well-built and started to surround them. All of them were clad in armour, and they were wielding bows with spiritual inscriptions on them.
It was illegal in Da Qian Empire to own more than three pieces of armour for each family, except for officials and those under special circumstances. Otherwise, they would be treated as rebels!
As for the bows with spiritual inscriptions, needless to say, it was the death sentence to just own one of them!
However, with the power and influence of the Qin Family, they could have a 500-soldier strong private army, which made everything they did seem legal.
”What an array!”
”Whoosh!”
As their shadows flashed, Fang Yuan and Meng Lian leapt onto the roof as they witnessed the scene in silence.
”All these soldiers have cultivated a special technique for them to fuse their inner force together. Furthermore, this formation seems to have its uniqueness...”
Seeing the soldiers forming up in their array and detecting their spiritual auras, Fang Yuan complimented them, as all of them complemented the formation perfectly.
”This is the Qin Family's 'Fiery Feathers Array'! These 500-odd soldiers have the blood of the Qin Family too! Using the array's power, they might even be able to summon the rumoured Fiery Bird's incarnation!”
Meng Lian rolled her eyes at Fang Yuan before explaining.
”Who's that? Who dares to come to my family to kill?”
A thunderous roar was heard and a few extremely strong spiritual auras were detected approaching the room. A few old people with white hair appeared. They were the elders of the Qin Family.
The elder in front turned red like a burning volcano.
”It's me!”
Meng Lian chuckled. ”I don't like her, therefore I killed her. What can you do about it?”
”You...”
The few elders of the Qin Family were enraged, but the elder in front remained calm. Looking at Meng Lian, he was rather confused. ”You are...”
”Good foresight, old man!”
Meng Lian smiled and took out a token.
Fang Yuan took a quick glance at the token. It seemed to be made of both gold and jade and there were wooden carvings on it. In the middle, there was a blooming white lotus.
”You are a... Divine Lady!!!”
The elder heaved a huge sigh and the rest of them changed their expressions.
”So... Do you want to capture me?”
Meng Lian smiled innocently and walked out of the mansion.
All of the elders of the Qin Family clenched their teeth. Even though they were all powerful and had spiritual troops and spiritual arrays to help them, they did not dare to lay a single finger on her. They could only look at her take her leave, but none of them knew the significance of the white lotus and how it managed to strike fear in all of them.
With all that she had done, Fang Yuan remained silent and followed behind Meng Lian, feeling proud of what she had done.
...
”Is she really... that Divine Lady?”
Only when Meng Lian and Fang Yuan were out of sight did an elder enquired, his voice full of fear.
”If it's not her, then who would it be?”
The master elder smiled sheepishly. ”Although we are the strongest family in Dongyi County, we are nothing compared to that. Why would that Divine Lady find trouble with the First Wife?”
After a long silence, everyone began to think about the fight for the heir.
However, even the master elder, who was closest to Lady Xu, had nothing to say.
”Eh... Since the death of Qin Jie and Qin Fengyu, the Qin Family had been a mess...”
The master elder sighed loudly. ”We should quickly decide on the next family head to stabilise the Qin Family. Otherwise, if we always have to come out to settle disputes, we would die earlier... Where is our grandson Qin Yun?”
He had no other intentions as he spoke, but the few other elders already knew his plans.
'He... should be able to arrive before the ceremony!'
One of the elders was pleased. Finally, his efforts had not gone to waste, and he was beginning to reap the rewards.
'However... Is a dream master really that powerful, to the extent that a simple thought from them would be able to change brother's intentions?'
The other elders were skeptical. ”... could it be to push him to become family head so that they can scrutinise him?”
The Qin Siblings were the ones most suspicious to be responsible for everything that happened today.
By supporting Qin Yun to become the family head, they would establish good relations with him and can also test him out. If Fang Yuan were to find out about their thoughts, he would die of laughter...
...
”Where is the Dream Realm?”
