Chapter 313: More Spirit Kings (I) (2/2)
Chen Wentian waved his spare hand and a massive wall of blue flames shot into the air.
Fire fought against light. There was a momentary stalemate before the flames eventually lost out. But by that time, he had already put ample space between him and his opponent.
“Hahaha! Interesting kid, you’re quite capable!” The Spirit King said, “I am Immortal Light of Daybreak Ming Mu, tenth clan head of the Eastern Light Clan! You did well to take back your disciple.”
Whispers from the crowd became shocked gasps as the person in Chen Wentian’s arms turned back into Long Yifei. Since she had been found out, there was no point in wearing the disguises anymore.
Chen Wentian brushed her hair back with his fingers and whispered into her ear. “Don’t worry. I expected this much to happen. Sneaking away in front of so many Spirit Kings was never really possible. But your master has prepared another trick. Just wait and see!”
He turned and looked up towards Ming Mu, ignoring the death glares from the men around him. They were shocked by his intimate actions with his disciple, which he was supposed to be marrying off. Such closeness and tenderness seemed completely unnatural and disturbing!
“Clan Head Ming, well met.” He called out, “If you want to kidnap my disciple as well, you should get in line.”
The Spirit King snorted dismissively and ignored Chen Wentian. He flew past and landed beside the prone body of his descendant, Ming He. A pillar of green light fell on the wounded young man, injecting him with a surge of profound energy.
A few moments later, Ming He stirred and groaned in pain. He was still a mess but seemed a lot better than before.
“Get up!” The clan head said sharply, “Stop disgracing yourself and embarrassing the clan!”
“Y… yes…”
Ming He struggled mightily but he still could not move. He tried again and again but too many bones were broken, too many tendons severed.
Ming Mu sighed and knocked the useless descent out. He waved his hand and a beam of blue light connected Ming He to the Tower of Light far off in the distance. With a surge of energy, the unconscious body was sent away for medical treatment.
Ming Mu then turned, whipped his deep blue robes into order, and stroked his long and well-maintained goatee. He looked at Abbotess Liang, then at House Master Tian Yong, then back at the abbotess, and finally gave a small sigh.
“Well then, this is a huge mess. How should we clean this up?”
