383 The Pas (2/2)

The few elders exchanged glances once more. After settling everything, they took their leave from the children.

”Greetings, Lord!”

The children were all confused. After paying their respects to Fang Yuan, they took their leave as well.

”This type of magical transference technique... Firstly, they would need something to possess, for instance, these children which they would surely have done something to. Secondly, they cannot transfer too much ability to these children.… Previously, although those elders had powerful spiritual auras, they would be at most dream masters in the 6th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage. I will be able to destroy all of them!”

Fang Yuan started to plan ahead. ”Alright... With this half a year, I shall return to master's hometown to pay a visit. I wonder how his old friends are...”

...

Leaf Region, Cloud Jade Mountain.

The region was a small one and there were few people living here. However, the spiritual tea produced from Cloud Jade Mountain was famous and they were even patronised by the royal family of Da Qian. Therefore, they could survive on trading tea leaves and could build a small town surrounding Cloud Jade Mountain.

Many cultivators had also gathered here to settle down and live a peaceful life.

On the streets, a bull carriage was on the move. Fang Yuan wore a set of comfortable robes and a bamboo hat on his head. He laid back, appearing relaxed and lazy.

He had already obtained the full inheritance from his Master, Master Wenxin. Other than the secret 8 Gates Sword Array of a dream soldier master, there was a simple description of his hometown in the inheritance.

'My nickname is 'Heartless' and I am from Cloud Jade Mountain, Leaf Region in Da Qian Empire. I am from the Ye Family and have cultivated in swordplay from young. The elders have given me the name of 'Li'... I have achieved a breakthrough in Wu Zong at the age of 15 and have made a small name for myself. As I roamed across regions, I stumbled across the inheritance of a dream master at the age of 18. From then, I had officially become a dream master and was recruited into the Imperial Court as a Hidden Dragon Guard.'

Master Heartless was a Hidden Dragon Guard, a law enforcer of the Da Qian Imperial Court!

Unfortunately, Fang Yuan did not want to follow his master's steps with regards to this. Furthermore, he was only forced to find a backing only because he had offended the Divine Lotus Cult and from there resolve the conflict through the Realm Alliance.

If Fang Yuan were to join the Imperial Court, he would find himself in more trouble as the Imperial Court was all the while against the Divine Lotus Cult.

”As a Hidden Dragon Guard, Master has the resources from the Imperial Court to cultivate himself. He was extremely powerful and under his 8 Gates Sword Array, he had killed countless people and from then created animosity with the two evil sects... After forming the entire 8 Gates Sword Array, he was only inferior to dream masters in the Prominent Divine stage. He had even killed a few direct disciples of Sages and was heartless. From then on, he was nicknamed 'Heartless'...”

Fang Yuan sighed as he recalled the information which he had once read from the inheritance:

”Even with the protection of the Imperial Court, I have made too many enemies. Together with some crazy dream masters, they have caused the Misfortune of Cloud Jade Mountain. They had killed my master's disciples in one night and even severely injured my masters' physical body. Fortunately, Master managed to escape but his cultivation was greatly affected. With that, the Imperial Court started to give him a cold treatment... Because of this, Master has given up hope on the Hidden Dragon Guards. After creating chaos for them, he left and arrived at the mainland where he adopted me...”

Leaning on the carriage, Fang Yun was in a daze as he recalled all that had happened in the mainland.

Because of this, if Fang Yuan were to reveal the 8 Gates Sword Array, he would make the entire world turn against him!

”The dream master which had killed Master's disciples was the sect head of Source Seeking Sect. He was the renowned Demon Killing Divine Pen, Li Qingmian. Li Qingmian was a dream master in the Prominent Divine stage! He had the power to create things at will! With a pen, he can create the world. With a flower, he can create heaven!”

This opponent was still too strong, even though Fang Yuan had already become a True Divine.

”Of course, I cannot do anything to Source Seeking Sect. However, during the impending war between the 5 Grand Organisations and Da Qian Imperial Court, I might be able to take his opportunity...”

Fang Yuan sighed. ”As of now, I need to hide and visit the few places that Master has mentioned...”

To hide and strike when the opportunity arose was a theory which all dream masters understood.

The family members of the Ye Family which Master Heartless had come from had already escaped. They had used secret techniques to prevent predictions and even changed their names just to avoid trouble.

From then till now, there should still be a few survivors carrying the blood of the Ye Family.

As the bull carriage moved forward, Fang Yuan arrived at a large city in no time.

This was Cloud Jade City, where the Ye Family once lived.

Fang Yuan dressed up as a businessman. Moving his muscles about, he altered his appearance and took up the look of a spiritual tea trader who had arrived from other regions. After walking around the streets aimlessly, he arrived at the East side of the city.

This area was largely different from the rest. It had been geographically altered before and had a few connected lakes. There were many types of vegetation being planted here as well. Looking at the pleasing sight of greenery and the lack of people, this sight was something the other areas of the city could not offer.

”This place... It should be where the Ye Family's mansion once stood…...”

Looking at the crystal-clear lake, Fang Yuan was overwhelmed with emotions.

Realising that there was a small tea shop nearby, he quickly went there and ordered a pot of tea.

Although it was not spiritual tea, the fact that they were close to Cloud Jade Mountain explained the quality and fragrance of the tea.

”This is good tea!”

Fang Yuan acted surprised and glistened his eyes.

”Haha... Although my tea cannot be compared with spiritual tea, it is one of the best among the normal teas. This skill of mine was obtained years ago when I served in a tea shop of the Ye Family. Among all the tea masters and chefs, I was among one of the best...”

The shop owner had a head full of white hair. He gazed afar as though he was reminiscing. ”Unfortunately... The Ye Family was destroyed in one night and the tea forest was burnt down. Even half of Cloud Jade City was destroyed. That was one of the worst nights...”

Fang Yuan silently listened as he drank his tea with a calm look.

After a while, he placed a silver coin on the table and left.
