Volume 2, Chapter 7 – Breaking Through the Cloud and Comprehending the Truth Behind the Red Cloud Qi (Part 1)
Three days later, w.a.n.g Pan came to Spirit Leaf Island for the duel.
According to the Sect’s regulation, when disciples had entered the Radiant Qi Realm, they were permitted to take along 20 warriors, drive a flying s.h.i.+p to cruise the clouds, put on a Waterproof Coat, wear Demon Guard Jade Pendants, and hold an Amethyst Bronze Short Spear. These people had come along and excluding him, there were also Feng Zhen, including some good friends in the sect. As well as several brothers from his family. Therefore, at this time, there was a total of 36 flying s.h.i.+ps flying to Spirit Leaf Island, and at a glance, the imposing force it gave off was quite grand and powerful.
This was w.a.n.g Pan’s ambition since he was determined to rob Zhang Yan’s true disciple’s position. And to guarantee his absolute safety, not only did he bring the Amethyst Bronze Short Spear, but he also carried along magic tools for escaping purpose—the Sound Flying Sword. He wore a Daoist robe decorated with jade ornaments, and apart from this, there was a pair of Jade Age Medal, which was one year old. When he was 10-years-old, there had been 2 experts that separately gave him these two Jade Tokens for self-protection. It was said that these Jade Tokens were able to withstand a series of any magic tools’ bombardments.
The scenery in the Spirit Leaf Island greatly differed from other places, and Feng Zhen enthusiastically observed everything in the surroundings. When he was 7-years-old, he had already been practicing on the Hornless Dragon Island, and he never left the island even by even one step for almost 28 years until he entered the Profound Light Realm. Nevertheless, it was a first and hard to come by traveling opportunity for him.
A woman was standing at his side that was almost as tall as him. She had a snow-white skin with a cold, proud, and aloof bearing. There was not even a trace of colors on her complexion as the surrounding people voluntarily maintained a three step distance from her. This woman was his younger sister—Feng Yao. Due to her practices in the Yin element profound cultivation technique, “The Life and Death Severing and Gathering Law”, it made people feel a chilling aura that penetrated their marrows, resembling a dead person.
Feng Zhen looked underneath and casually spoke, as if thoughtlessly, “What does Second Younger Sister think of w.a.n.g Pan?”
Feng Yao replied with a light expression, “Eldest Brother, I know what idea you want to play in mind. But encouraging me to form a Dao companions.h.i.+p with w.a.n.g Pan is useless.”
Having his plan exposed brazenly by his younger sister, Feng Zhen couldn’t help but feel awkward. But since this matter would sooner or later have to be brought up, he then sighed, “Second Younger Sister, you and I are only from a branch family. Since our childhood, we have neither anyone to depend on nor do we have close relations.h.i.+ps. Even though your talent is outstanding, but you’re just a lone single force in the family. Now, the w.a.n.g Family is flouris.h.i.+ng, plus he is also my Junior Brother. If in the future…”
Although only half of his words had been said, but Feng Yao abruptly interrupted decisively, “You don’t need to say anything to me. Father has promised Mother that I can take the responsibility for my own decisions. This Younger Sister has to decline Eldest Brother’s good intention with a thank you.”
Feng Zhen couldn’t help but sha
ke his head. However, he also thought of how to change Feng Yao’s heart. He turned his sight and actually discovered that w.a.n.g Pan didn’t directly go to the fight, but instead headed to the northern area of the island and descended there. He unexpectedly went there to privately meet Tang Yan first.
Feng Zhen intended to be the matchmaker for Feng Yao and w.a.n.g Pan, but after seeing how impatient w.a.n.g Pan was right now, his eyebrows wrinkled. A gold-colored silhouette then flashed, and in the blink of an eye, it flew from the flying s.h.i.+p and moved to the ground.
“Young Lady Yan…” w.a.n.g Pan knocked open the thatched house door with loud knocking sounds and shouted out.
Tang Yan stood in the hut and stared at him as her beautiful eyes were red from seemingly just crying, but she then turned away and said, “You finally came.”
After seeing the sorrow and infinite grievances on Tang Yan’s beautiful face, w.a.n.g Pan chuckled and was about to approach and hug her. However, his shoulders were suddenly grabbed by someone, making him immediately unable to move. He slowly turned his head and saw Feng Zhen behind his back shaking his head before he spoke in a serious tone, “Junior Brother, the victor has yet to be decided, how can you lose your self-control?”
w.a.n.g Pan’s heart became cold and nodded his head. Although he didn’t think that Zhang Yan could beat him, but after all, this duel has yet to have any results. Which meant that Tang Yan was still Zhang Yan’s. And now, since he came here, if he was seemingly too impatient he could make people see him as a joke. He was now Du De’s disciple and he must take his Master’s reputation into consideration.
Upon seeing that w.a.n.g Pan was blocked by someone, Tang Yan was slightly disappointed and couldn’t help but bitterly stare at Feng Zhen. But it was as if there was a dazzling light emitted out from his face when she looked at him and it pained her eyes. She involuntarily retracted backward for two steps as amazement filled her heart, “Is this person w.a.n.g Pan’s Senior Brother? This person is clearly a Profound Light Realm cultivator. Where did he come from?”
When she opened her eyes again to see, w.a.n.g Pan was about to step out and leave, so she anxiously spoke, “Young Master w.a.n.g…”
w.a.n.g Pan stopped walking as he turned back to the motionless Tang Yan and said, “What is it?”
Tang Yan hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said, “It’s nothing, be safe, and be careful…”
w.a.n.g Pan didn’t even speak and straightly strode out.
Tang Yan sighed. She wanted to tell that Zhang Yan was already able to mount the clouds and ride the mist, but she also recalled that w.a.n.g Pan had an aloof personality, so such a saying so, she feared that would cause him to misunderstand that she was not optimistic about him. So she quickly stopped as to avoid making him annoyed and eventually endured to finally not say anything.
Some displeasure indeed sprouted from w.a.n.g Pan’s heart, “Be careful? Be careful of what? Zhang Yan had just only practiced for 3 months, even if Ning Chongxuan had taught him some trivial secret techniques, how much and how high would he become? How could it be that I would lose to him? What a woman’s opinion.”
After he went out, he met the converging crowd and headed all the way to the foot of the cone-shaped peak as billowing mist and dust reached the sky and covered the summit. The mist filled the air, and as baleful qi blew on his face, he only sneered, “Others might fear your Golden Phoenix Blazing Inferno, but I don’t. Zhang Yan, if this time you want to win me by borrowing this place’s advantages, you actually have made a mistake.”
He turned around and cupped his hands over, “Fellow apprentice brothers, please wait here. This day, an hour later, I will return back and we’ll have a drink together.”
Everyone returned the courtesy together with a relaxed expression. It was only Feng Yao that gently shook her head.
