Chapter 58: Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue (1/2)
When Liu Fei heard Nan Gong Ling’s speech, she heaved a sigh. Actually, she could understand the difficult position in which Nan Gong Ling found himself. Yet, she was concerned about her father who also had to bear huge responsibilities, she was really trying her best to help him by any means possible.
“Patriarch, Nan Gong Ling, building the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue is an order of His Majesty. Could you refuse to obey His Majesty’s orders?” Said a young man who was next to Liu Fei while staring at Nan Gong Ling.
“When did I say that I wanted to disobey His Majesty’s orders?” Nan Gong Ling replied coldly while glancing at the young man. He then said: “Building the Holy Courtyard of Xue Yue is a project which I support wholeheartedly. I have no choice but to let a few outstanding disciples go and practice there.
He paused for a moment and then continued in a cold tone: “Besides, since when did you start to think it was good manners to poke your nose into other people’s affairs and make criticisms? A little prince like you… What do you intend to do? Do you want me to call your father, Duan Tian Lang and have him teach you some manners?”
In the Continent of the Nine Clouds, elders had to be respected. Nobles also had to be respected which was especially true of those with high status as they were extremely strong. These days, the Duan Clan had become the Imperial Clan because they were extremely strong. The Duan Clan had become the strongest clan in the entire Xue Yue Country. It wasn’t just a matter of how much territory was controlled, it was a fact that they were the strongest.
However, the Duan Clan still had to humble themselves to the Sects and act politely when speaking with them. Nan Gong Ling wasn’t going to submit himself to a little prince of the Duan Clan. It did not matter to him how strong the Duan Clan was, his sect was not something that could be looked down upon by anyone.
“You… Nan Gong Ling, I will tell my father about this.” said the young man coldly while giving a glare filled with evil intentions.
“Tell him whatever you like.” replied Nan Gong Ling while looking relaxed and not surprised.
“I heard that little Fei Fei came back.” At that moment, a voice came from outside of the room in the temple. It was Protector Bei who had just arrived while striding forward with head high.
“Grandfather Bei!” When Liu Fei saw Protector Bei, she stood up. Protector Bei was actually her father’s master.
“Little Fei, how’s your father doing?” Protector Bei was looking at Liu Fei with affectionate eyes. The great elders and protectors of the Sect rarely had direct disciples. When they did, they developed deep and strong ties with them which would last a lifetime.
“He’s still in Duan Ren City…” said Liu Fei making a wry smile.
“Pheww..” sighed Protector Bei shaking his head and making a wry smile as well.
“Little Fei, what brings you here? If you are looking for disciples then I have an amazing person in mind. You will definitely be happy.”
“One person?” said Liu Fei making a wry smile again.
“Didn’t your father leave the sect alone in the past? You don’t need too many people. It’s useless to take too many.” said Protector Bei while shaking his head.
“Grandfather, who are you talking about?” Liu Fei’s eyes had a glimmer of hope. When she heard the old man, she had the feeling he was talking about somebody extremely important. Could it be….?
“You will know when the right moment comes. Make those guys leave first. After the elite disciple exam of the Yun Hai Sect, I will personally accompany the person to the Imperial City.” said Protector Bei while looking at the crowd of troops behind Liu Fei.
“Alright.” said Liu Fei while nodding.
………………
In the mountains where he had first met Liu Fei, Lin Feng was sitting in a cave and cultivating. The Qi of heaven and earth looked like a cocoon which was surrounding him as he continued to cultivate. Lin Feng’s body was wrapped up in the cocoon-like Qi. That white-colored Qi looked like an extremely dense fog which had almost become solid.
At that moment, a terrifying attractive force emerged out of the deepest parts of Lin Feng’s body which enabled the Qi of Heaven and Earth that surrounding his body to penetrate into his dantian.
Inside Lin Feng’s body, a powerful milky-white Qi was circulating and looked as if it was boiling. The strong Qi which circulated in and out of Lin Feng’s body was extremely pure.
After a long time, the Qi of Heaven and Earth was still uninterruptedly revolving around Lin Feng’s body. At that moment, Lin Feng stopped cultivating.
He opened his eyes and had a big smile on his face.
“This Purity Technique has such strange effects on the body… but it definitely helped consolidate my cultivation basics. Now, I am much stronger than before, I can utilize my power much better than before. I can control my breathing much better than before as well.”
Lin Feng thought that thanks to his increased breathing abilities, he would be able to endlessly fight. A continuous explosive strength required a great power and of course every fight required control over ones breathing.
Lin Feng stood up, looked at a wall at the entrance of the cave, then thrust his palm forward into the air and whispered: “Eight Strikes of Desolation.”
Accompanying his words, a strong and explosive attack crashed into the wall in front of him.
“BOOM!.”
“BOOM!.”
“BOOM!.”
