Chapter 83 - End of Azure Cloud Continent Arc with a little NSFW* (1/2)
Wang Lei came out of the cave with You'er in his arms. She seemed to be sleeping comfortably, judging from her expression, which seemed to relax.
Wang Lei looked around him, now clean crevice. All the dark profound energy was absorbed and fed to his pets.
Now there was no dark energy left here – just a normal cliff.
'With this, even if the barrier protecting this place is destroyed, there will be no problem.' Wang Lei thought and started to walk towards where AnBai was.
After a minute, Wang Lei reached the place and saw AnBai silently sitting on a rock protruding out of the wall.
She seemed to perceived his presence as she stood up and looked in his direction.
But then her eyes fell upon You'er in Wang Lei's arms; surprise flashed on her face.
You'er appearance, except her hair, was exactly identical to that of Hong'er. It was no surprise that she was confused and astonished to see You'er.
Wang Lei reached in front of her as AnBai bowed, ”You are back, master,” then her gaze fell upon You'er, ”She…”
Smiling, Wang Lei said, ”She is You'er; another Sword Spirit. As for who she is, I will tell you later.”
AnBai nodded, hearing Wang Lei.
”Let's go.” Wang Lei said as he slowly started to flew upward, making sure as not to disturb You'er's sleep.
'With this, one of my objectives of coming here is complete. Now not many are left; after they are done, I can finally leave for God Realm.' Wang Lei thought.
The reason for his coming here was indeed You'er, but he also had other objectives, one of them being Yun Gu, Yun Che's master.
Not that he wanted to complete the trade he did with Yun Che, but that Yun Gu has part of <Miracle of Life> that he wants.
It was an art that was said to 'cure-all', definitely something that Wang Lei wanted to take a look at himself.
After flying for some time, they reached the opening of Cloud's End Cliff.
Coming out of it, they were ȧssaulted with the sudden burst of wind with a little smell of blood mix with it.
Smelling it, Wang Lei's eyes narrowed as he looked in the direction where many bodies were littered.
Some were missing limbs, while most had holes in their ċhėst. An indication that they were pierced by something.
A person stood in front of these bodies. Her body was filled with splatters of blood as it gently streaks down at her blade.
She had two pairs of beautiful white wings. That, with her silver hair and eyes, gave her majestic feeling.
print(”Image here!”)
Feeling Wang Lei's and AnBai's gaze, she looked towards them as her eyes shone.
Flapping her wings, she vanished and appeared in front of Wang Lei and bowed.
”I have taken care of the pests that dare to go against Your Excellency.” She said with a monotonous voice.
Moving his free hand, Wang Lei rubs her head and said, ”You did a good job, Hearst.”
Hearst seems to enjoy his pat as her wings were flapping happily.
With a little blush, she said with a serious face that enhanced her cuteness, ”Our forces are ready to be deployed, You Excellency. We are waiting for your order.”
Wang Lei smiled and said, ”Good. We will soon start taking over this continent.”
After that, they started to fly towards the Grandwake Clan. But much to Wang Lei's surprise, before they could reach it, they saw a great army of cultivators camping outside the forest.
Judging from their clothes, Wang Lei could tell that they were from three different sects.
These three sects were camping at three different sections with a hut at their center – quite an eccentric sight.
'What are they doing? Is there is some kind of monster living in that hut or something?' Wang Lei thought as he looked at the gathering cultivators.
He could not understand their motives. All he could feel from the hut was a single presence of a mortal human and nothing else.
'There should be more to this.' Wang Lei thought when his thoughts were interrupted by the voice of Hearst.
”They are here for something called Sky Poison Pearl master. It seems that the person who possesses this treasure is living in that hut.” The Angels have done their research on this continent and knew what these cultivators were here for.
As if sudden realization stuck him, Wang Lei thought, 'How could I forget it? But this should have happened in the future and not this fast. A distortion in space and time?'
”What should we do, master?” Hearst asked.
After thinking for some time, Wang Lei said, ”Nothing. Just let them do everything when they are close to achieving their goal,” an evil smile forms on his face, ”Crush them!”
Hearst nodded her head. She would do anything as long as it would make Wang Lei happy. Other things simply did not matter to her.

”Do not be so greedy, Zuo Hanshuo!” Duan Heisha shouted.
He was in a meeting right now, deciding who would take possession of Sky Poison Pearl.
The one present in this meeting was only the clan heads of the three strongest clans of Azure Cloud Continent.
The one he was talking to was Zuo Hanshuo, master of Heaven Thwarting Sect.
Heaven Thwarting Sect was slightly stronger than the other two sects, making their demands absurd.
”I am not being greedy, Heisha. But since our sect is the strongest among the three, then it is obvious that we will take the ownership of the Sky Poison Pearl.” Zuo Hanshuo said calmly.
Heisha frowned, ”Are you saying that we should just sit back and watch you taking a Heavenly Treasure?”
Hanshuo nodded with arrogance evident in his eyes. He was not afraid of Seven Stars Divine Palace, but he did not take Soaring Celestial Sword Sect in his sight as it was weakest among them.
He thought that they would not interfere much, but he was astonished and mad at what he heard next.
”Are you sure about that, Hanshuo? Do you think that your sect can fight both of our sects?” Mu Yingchan, master of Soaring Celestial Sword Sect said.
Even if his sect was weakest, he was most cunning among them. He knew that if he wanted a piece-of-a-pie, then he would have to share it with someone.
Since Hanshuo was already pushing Heisha back, he thought that partnering with him was his best choice.
Since there was not much difference of strength in their sects, making the chances of backstabbing less. Even if he did, at least he could resist. But the same could not be said for Heaven Thwarting Sect.
Since there was a big gap between their sects.
As if what Mu Yingchan said was a torch in the darkness, Heisha smirked towards now frowning Hanshuo and said, ”What brother Yingchan said is right. Do you think that you can hog anything just because your sect is a little stronger than others? Why don't you try to fight out with both our sects then!”
Seeing as his statement was backfiring, Hanshuo smiled and said, ”No need to be this angry, my brothers. You seem to think what I said wrongly. Of course, I never thought of taking it all for me. What I meant to say was that we will take custody of it first, then the other sects.”
Heisha snorts, hearing him. How can he not know what Hanshuo was thinking? They have spent more than a thousand years together; he even knew what he liked eating, let alone his intentions.
”Forget it. We are just wasting our time here. First, we should get Sky Poison Pearl and then decide what to do with it.”
Other hearing him nodded.

”They are starting, master.”
Hearst said, gaining Wang Lei's attention, who was gently creasing You'er's cheek.
Wang Lei looked towards the hut and saw three people flying towards it.
Judging from their aura, Wang Lei knew that they were the sect masters.
'Now, when should I make my entrance?' Wang Lei thought as one of the sect's master started to call out Yun Gu from his hut.
Soon after his call, the door of the hut opened, and Yun Gu came out of it.
He had a long white beard, long white brows, and long white hair, yet his face was not the least bit covered with wrinkles, and his eyes were as clear as water.
Looking towards him, Wang Lei could not help but think that Yun Gu looked more immortal than him. Like a sage or something.
Soon the sect masters started to talk with Yun Gu about Sky Poison Pearl, but he denied saying that it was a dangerous weapon; and it would only bring harm to the world, nothing more.
But sect masters seemed to take it as his denial of giving it to them and use it for his own gain.
Since Yun Gu declined from giving the Sky Poison Pearl, it made other sect masters angry as they gave the order to kill him and take Sky Poison Pearl forcefully.
”Let's go.” Wang Lei and started to flew towards the gathered masters.
---
”Kill him and take the treasure from him!” Hanshuo shouted.
The elder, hearing him, nodded. Surprisingly, he was the same old man that Wang Lei has left alive. He was humiliated by Wang Lei and then by his sect master for losing to a brat.
Now he wanted to prove his usefulness to him, but his luck was really bad as just he was about to reach calm Yun Gu, with a screeching sound, a spear implanted in front of him, stopping his advance.
The expression of the old man distorted as his gaze fell upon the spear – Chastiefol.
Sect masters were puzzled, seeing this when they looked above, in the direction from where the spear came from.
There they saw a young man with silver hair and red eyes with a black slit in them. He had a young girl sleeping in his hands.
But what surprised them more was the girl standing behind him with silver wings.
”What is that?”
They were surprised, at the same time entranced, by her appearance.
Wang Lei looked down at them and smirked, ”Yo, clown! Did you bark enough for your master to know my arrival?”
The old man's face concerted into that of rage and shame. If gaze could kill, then Wang Lei would have been dead a hundred times now. (A/N: I always wanted to use this line.)
Duan Heisha, hearing Wang Lei and seeing the old man's expression knew Wang Lei was. He snorted and said, ”So, you are that arrogant brat that does not know the immensity of Heaven.”
