Chapter 174 - Xiao Jianfa (1/2)

The Air Domain was located just below the Water Domain. Xiao Fei'er traveled flew her children to the Air Domain without any troubles.

No beasts or stupid bastard managed to interrupt their journey and Xiao Fei'er was rather talkative as they traveled. She was trying to catch up with her children.

Wang Ling joined in their conversations some times, but he mostly chose to listen and quietly evaluate his family.

It didn't take long for them to reach the Air Domain, it took a mere two days before Wang Ling caught sight of a mountain range in the horizon.

”This is the Fleeting Sword Mountains. That peak beyond the clouds is where the Xiao Clan stands.” Xiao Fei'er turned to her children and focused her sight to Wang Ling, ”Ling'er, keep your challenge to yourself until we finish the introductions and have dinner.”

Wang Ling nodded his head and calmed his mind.

The mountain range was long and the mountain peak Xiao Fei'er had pointed at was tall. Even with his eyes Wang Ling could not see past the clouds that hid the peak from the world.

Xiao Fei'er brought her children higher and higher from the ground. Soon, they entered and escaped the clouds. As Wang Ling floated above the clouds, he saw three peaks that was previously hidden.

Two of the peaks were training grounds. Wang Ling was sure they were training grounds as it had a large open area to it and there was lingering sword qi filling the air. Even from afar Wang Ling could feel the sword qi.

In between these two peaks was the highest mountain peak of the Fleeting Sword Mountains was a pagoda consisting of nine-layers. From afar, the pagoda resembled that of a temple where a god might reside in.

Wang Ling could some sort of strength that he had not felt before. No, he had felt it before, but it had been so long that he had long forgotten what it was.

Trepidation, his heart was beating too fast and the feeling of being oppressed appeared. It became harder to breathe.

As expected, Xiao Fei'er brought the three into the middle pagoda and as they floated just above the front garden of the pagoda, the figure of an old man walked out of the wide doors of the pagoda.

The old man was wearing a black robe and ash white hair that was embroidered with blue clouds. With a frown on his face and a pair of sharp eyes, the old man was intimidating.

Although Wang Ling categorized the man as 'old', he looked rather young and seemed to be in his early fifties. The so-called old man didn't even have wrinkles on his face, and his skin was just like flowing milk.

But his demeanor belonged to that of an old master.

[He's an expert.]

Wang Ling had seen experts before, but none of them could compare to this old man before him. Just his presence was enough to make Wang Ling feel tad smaller than him.

Xiao Fei'er saw this old man and her face beamed, ”Father, for you to come here yourself. What happened to be stoic and indifferent? You also grew a beard and made it grow white wh…”

Xiao Fei'er's father stopped her from speaking, he did not wish to hear any words that might possibly embarrass him to the three children.

Xiao Jianfa had a strict face but as he stared at his daughter with an indifferent look on his face, the thoughts that run inside his head was, [Dear daughter of mine, don't embarrass your father like this in front of his grandchildren.]

The Cleaver of Mountains, the Butcher of Dragons, Fleeting Cloud Sword Master, and even the name Everlasting Bloody Sword had been associated in the name of the man named Xiao Jianfa.

But in all truthfulness, he was an eccentric who happened to have an intimidating expression and have an ardent love for sword fights and the path of the sword itself.

Xiao Jianfa was just like his daughter, free-willed, the only difference was that he was intimidating and his daughter was a goddess amongst women. She was his treasure.

Aside from the few disciples who he deemed worthy to enter the sect he had opened, the only person Xiao Jianfa dislikes who are close to him would be the man he wants to crush the most but can't, someone named, Wang Shu Qing.

Oh, he dreaded Wang Shu Qing, at some point in time he even tried separating his 'second head' from his body because of the act they had done with his daughter. It was a sight, but that was irrelevant at the moment.

Xiao Jianfa had Xiao Fei'er to act dignified and stop her actions, he spoke with her with his eyes. Xiao Fei'er decided to follow his orders.
