Chapter 1296 - Disciple and Teacher (2/2)

Xue Ying also brought along Imperial Wind Qing Yin to the City Master residence.

******

The City Master residence was also where the Imperial Wind Clan was located at. It occupied an immense area.

Within the main palace.

There were a huge number of experts gathered here. There were the personal disciples of the Imperial Wind Clan, Bat Mountain Master, God Monarch Jian Yin, Xue Ying and other experts. The majority of the experts gathered were at least Middle Stage God Emperor Realm and beyond. It was quite rare to find those at the level of Imperial Wind Qing Yin. She was qualified to enter only because she was the daughter of the City Master.

“Brother Flying Snow, why do you think the City Master has summoned so many people over? Almost all the experts in the city has been called over.” Bat Mountain Master walked over. His triangular head was indeed ugly, though he had an enthusiastic expression on his face.

“Who knows?” Xue Ying did not mind. He stayed in the High Mountain City primarily to cultivate without others disturbing him.

“It has been a very long time since High Mountain City gathered so many experts. I think that things are amiss.” Bat Mountain Master guessed. It was not just him, many other experts were panicking in their hearts.

Without saying the reason for summoning so many experts abruptly, everyone could faintly guess what it was for.

“He’s here.”

“The City Master is here.”

The palace hall quietened down. The gray-haired middle-aged man who had seen through the vicissitudes of life, ‘Imperial Wind High Mountain’, came in from the side door of the palace. Beside him followed Housekeeper Tong.

Imperial Wind High Mountain had revitalized the entire Imperial Wind Clan single-handedly. He was an ambitious and formidable person given that he had reached the God Emperor Realm while at the same time, led the sect to where it stood now. Nonetheless, the expression of Imperial Wind High Mountain was solemn. After reaching the throne position, he did not sit. Instead, he looked down at everyone and started: “I know everyone could guess the reason why I summoned everyone over!”

The group of audience below looked upwards at Imperial Wind High Mountain.

“There is a powerful enemy currently rushing his way over to my High Mountain City.” Imperial Wind High Mountain looked down at everyone, “He should be here in about an hour.”

“What?”

“A powerful enemy?”

“An hour’s time?”

The entire palace became chaotic and frenzied. This news came too abruptly.

“City Master, what powerful enemy is he? Why is he attacking our High Mountain City?” Unrest started spreading among the audience.

Imperial Wind High Mountain frowned slightly before snorting lightly. The palace hall began quieting once again.

“The enemy is very powerful. He has a vengeance with my Imperial Wind Clan that cannot be resolved.” Imperial Wind High Mountain looked downwards and gave a cold sneer, “I know what everyone’s thinking now. That enemy has a bone to pick with the Imperial Wind Clan and not with you all, am I right?”

The expressions on many experts shifted slightly.

“I, Imperial Wind High Mountain, has governed the High Mountain City for so long and has treated everyone here pretty well. Now that my clan is facing danger, I hope everyone could contribute your strength as well.” Imperial Wind High Mountain might be ‘requesting’ for everyone to help, but everyone present could sense the overbearing will Imperial Wind High Mountain had! Clearly, everyone present had to agree. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire since they were in the residence of the Imperial Wind Clan, a place covered in arrays that the Imperial Wind Clan controlled.

Hence, how could any of them dare to resist?

“The few of us will naturally do our best!”

“City Master, we have been showered with kindness from the Imperial Wind Clan. We would naturally not retreat at this moment.” There were experts who immediately stated their stand. None of them were fools. They knew that it was too late for them to run now.

“Mn.” Imperial Wind High Mountain nodded, “Rest assured. When the powerful enemy comes, I’ll personally meet him head on. Many experts from my Imperial Wind Clan will also be there to help out. The lot of you are strengthened by the array of the city too, and the enemies won’t be that strong either.”

Those present could only choose to believe since they had no other route of retreat.

Xue Ying stood in the crowd listening silently.

Powerful enemy?

For Imperial Wind High Mountain to force all experts here to fight back, the enemy had to be threatening to the clan.

Standing by his side, Imperial Wind Qing Yin hesitated momentarily before stealthily transmitting over to Xue Ying: “Teacher, the enemy is incredibly powerful. Our Imperial Wind Qing Yin can’t resist against him. Teacher, it is better that you hide further away and remain low-profile. Once you find the chance, you should hurry up and flee. There’s no need to die with my Imperial Wind Clan.” Imperial Wind Qing Yin and the others had been strictly ordered not to spread this news out.

“Can’t resist?” Xue Ying felt his heart panicking. He turned to his disciple.

Imperial Wind Qing Yin nodded slightly to him. At the same time, she continued, “Teacher, this is a calamity that my Imperial Wind Clan is currently facing. It is the fortune and joy of I, Qing Yin, to meet Teacher before the great calamity arrives. It’s just that this calamity is too dangerous so Teacher must not participate too deeply. It is pointless. The enemy is too strong––so much more than my Imperial Wind Clan.”

Xue Ying could sense the urgency in his disciple, and the concern for him.

Qing Yin and the others were already prepared to fight to the death? This foolish disciple!

Xue Ying smiled at Imperial Wind Qing Yin. He transmitted back: “Rest assured. Your Teacher has never done things that I am not confident of.”

The moment Imperial Wind Qing Yin heard that, she felt rest assured. At the same time, she felt sullen for her Teacher who did not care about the life and death of his disciple.
