388 Heavenly Array (1/2)

After a few days, a shocking news came from Four Elements City.

The powerful and overbearing Sha Sect was wiped out from existence as the disciples of the sect fleed. None of them had the courage to honour the agreement and fight.

Furthermore, even their powerful sect head, who was a Wu Zong, had disappeared. It was unknown how he had died, and the powerful and influential organisations in Four Elements City started to worry and show their support for Han Family to redeem themselves for their indecisiveness to pledge their loyalty.

However, this shocking news was nothing compared to the disbanding of the Mystic Jade Sect, which was one of the 3 powerful sects in Leaf Lake.

According to Mystic Jade Sect, a few days ago, a mysterious highly-skilled person had visited the sect. The elders of the Mystic Jade Sect, under the leadership of the sect head, we no match for the mysterious martial artist. Therefore, they were all forced to swear that they would disband the sect and would never use the name of Mystic Jade Sect ever again.

In truth, the Han Family knew that it was a cover-up by the sect after discovering that the sect head was killed.

Without a Wu Zong in the Meridian Opening Realm to lead them, considering the resources that Mystic Jade Sect owned, they would attract a lot of attention which would in turn cause trouble to all the disciples of the sect.

Elder Han was an experienced person. He knew that he should not ride on the situation to make things difficult for the Mystic Jade Sect. Instead, he had become even more low-profile as he started to let go of control in Four Elements City, beginning his plan to move into seclusion.

After all, trouble times ensued. If he were to attract too much attention, the family could get into trouble.

If he were to move the family into seclusion, even if the soldiers were to wreak havoc in the city, the Han Family would still stay safe and live on for generations. Of course, these were all ifs.

...

Just as the powers in Four Elements City were changing, Fang Yuan had already left Leaf Region.

As he journeyed, he started to investigate the jade which he had just obtained from his Master's family.

”Master has already taught me everything that he could. In this piece of jade left in his own family, he has not only recorded the 8 Gates Sword Array but also some secret information regarding the Imperial Court and the Hidden Dragon Guards as well... He thought that these pieces of information would be useless to me but useful to the family. However, he never thought that it would be extremely hard for dream masters to continue existing...”

Fang Yuan sighed. ”However, after this, there might be some changes.”

He taught Han Ling'er the Meditative Tea Ceremony and even left some Heart Questioning Tea for her.

Considering the amount of tea that he had given her, if the family was fortunate enough, one of them might walk on the path of becoming a dream master! Even if that was not possible, they might still become spiritual knights.

This was the opportunity for their family to rise once again.

To Fang Yuan, since the people of the Han Family were not the immediate family members of Master Heartless, they were already fortunate enough to have obtained these.

Moving on, Fang Yuan had to put down his worries and plan for his own path.

”I have a few months remaining of the 6 months. In this period of time, I can increase my cultivation once more through dream-traversing...”

Although he had attained the True Divine to be qualified to fight in the war, Fang Yuan wanted to have more confidence to be able to go against a group of powerful beings including Sages so as to benefit from them.

Therefore, he was still lacking such an ability.

His path of martial arts had come to an end. After all, other than the few imperial advisors who were strengthened by the heavenly energy of Da Qian, there were no other newly promoted True Divines.

Fang Yuan knew that he was no match against all of them. Therefore, he had shifted his attention to other aspects of his cultivation.

With this, dream-traversing to increase his power as a dream master became a priority.

”The coordinates of those realms rich in source energy are with the highly-skilled people of the influential organisations. I have no way of getting it from them... the only exception is the Ancient Realm!”

Fang Yuan felt a tinge of regret.

He had tried before in his realm and was disappointed.

Although the realm did not discriminate against him, the entire realm seemed to have fallen into a mysterious turmoil, as though it was undergoing a certain change.

The feeling that time was not consistent in the Ancient Realm led Fang Yuan to suspect that if he were to enter it once more, it might be possible that a day in the Ancient Realm would result in a year to pass in Da Qian! By then, he would have lost the opportunity to cultivate in both Da Qian and the Ancient Realm.

”However, as a 7th Leaf Cultivator, my level of rights is rather high. I should deserve some special treatment, right?”

With that, Fang Yuan had come to a conclusion. Within a few moments, he had entered the Dream Realm and sourced for a suitable realm from the Data Treasury of the Realm Alliance.

...

Middle Region, Yingchou City.

This city was the North entrance to Middle Region. Leveraging on the geographical features of the Yingchou valley, the 20,000 rebels of Shi Longtu were kept at bay outside of the region.

At this point in time, the entire city had become a fort, ready to engage in war. The city walls were glittering with spiritual light. The runes sparkled and spiritual cannons and spiritual bows were all ready to fire.

”Leader!”

Two leaders from the Hidden Dragon Guards sat in a building as their strong spiritual will covered the entire city continuously.

With that, a few Hidden Dragon Guards entered the building and paid their respects. ”According to leader's tip-off, we have discovered the hiding spot of a group of rebels during today's patrol! They were from the Divine Lotus Cult and we have killed all of them.”

”Mmmm...”

The powerful being who seemed as though he was in the 7th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage nodded his head before looking around the room. These are only the small soldiers. What is most important in killing the rebels are your combat powers!”

”Hmph, Shi Longtu was favoured by the king and was once a soldier under the king. Who would've thought that he would rebel!”

As soon as a Hidden Dragon Guard heard the leader, he gritted his teeth and remarked.

Shi Longtu was originally the region governor of Tall Region. He had a distinct look when he was younger and was famous in his village. As he matured, he was assisted by the local minister and was enlisted into the military. With his successes in war, he was favoured by the king and his career was smooth sailing.
