Volume 2, Chapter 35 — The Xie Family Blocked the Path, The Seized Flood Dragon Demon
Fang Zhen and Feng Ming quickly caught up ahead and repeatedly used the Token Seal to steer the flying s.h.i.+p in the clouds. When the Lesser Waves Mountain was within their sight, suddenly, a flying s.h.i.+p stopped in front of their flying s.h.i.+p, causing them to have no choice but halt.
On the opposite flying s.h.i.+p, a Radiant Qi Realm cultivator stood as he cupped his hands over and spoke, ”Several Senior Brothers, please stop!”
Fang Zhen's brows frowned as he spoke, “Who are you, what's the meaning of this act?”
The cultivator looked calm and replied, ”My Family's 4th Young Master is still suppressing the Demon Race's troops ahead. Rather than having the evildoers slip from the net and injure cultivators from the same school, the 4th Young Master commands me to stay guard here to welcome all Senior Brothers. He asks all Senior Brothers to stop here and wait for the 4th Young Master to finish and meet everyone.”
“Fighting evildoers? Do you want to deceive me? You clearly want to monopolize the Flood Dragon Demon!” Fang Zhen sneered and added, ”Do you know who I am? I'm the Twilight Fairyland's Dao Master Yan's disciple, Fang Zhen. You dare to stop me? Get lost quickly!”
Amongst the 9 Great Fairylands in the Azure Ocean Sect, apart from Dao Master Qin, who was the first female Sect Master whose status was transcendent and had her own territories, the Fairylands itself were divided evenly between the Ancient Families and the Apprentices.h.i.+p Branches, while Dao Master Yan, the Twilight Fairyland's Master, was the second person after the Sect Master.
When the cultivator heard this, he couldn't help but look slightly astounded, but still there was no fear in his eyes. He bowed his body and spoke, ”I heard that Dao Master Yan has received a disciple with an outstanding apt.i.tude a month ago; It turns out to be Senior Brother Fang. But my family's 4th Young Master is surnamed Xie. Presumably, Senior Brother has heard about him.”
“Surnamed Xie? The 4th Young Master?” Fang Zhen’s complexion changed. He then probed further, “Could it be the wealthy and well known Xie Family's Xie Zongyuan?”
The cultivator nodded with a smile and said, “Precisely.”
Fang Zhen was shocked and hesitated.
The auspicious and peaceful Xie Family was placed second amongst the Great 12 Mansions of the Azure Ocean Sect. They were above the Du Family and second only to the Zheng Family.
Since the Radiant Cloud Sh.e.l.lfish Field was now officially the Azure Ocean Sect's, the sect then sent disciples to start suppressing all large and small Demon Race tribal troops within its perimeter. Not only was it because of these Demon cultivators' clans' wealth, but also their bodies and blood that were treasures for tool refining as well as pill concocting. This was without a doubt a big cake.
Therefore, a lot of Ancient Families didn't want to fall behind and sent their junior members to s.n.a.t.c.h for at least some of their interests.
Regarding this matter, this was also related to Zhang Yan. He was the one who brought the agreement doc.u.ment for annexing the Radiant Cloud Sh.e.l.lfish Field for the Azure Ocean Sect. Coupled with the commands for the Three Anchor Lakes' Demons to not act rashly, the agreement gave the right to the Azure Ocean Sect to have a just excuse to clean up these Demon tribes.
However, the pa.s.sage to the Radiant Cloud Sh.e.l.lfish Field in the Lesser Waves Mountain was very close to the territory occupied by the Xie Family, thus, for their disciples, they were very familiar with this place.
Fang Zhen was also perfectly aware that this Xie Zongyuan might want to monopolize the Flood Dragon Demon, so he prevented them from entering the site on behalf of suppressing the Demon Race's clans and tribes.
Although he was a disciple from the Apprentices.h.i.+p Branches, however, his cultivation base had yet to reach the Profound Light Realm. Even though he was Dao Master Yan's unofficial disciple, he still had 10 expert Senior Brothers in his branch, while each and every one of them was fiercely competing with each other. So how would he dare to confront such a colossus like the Xie Family?
Seeing the hesitant and shocked expression Fang Zhen had, that cultivator smiled and took out a bottle of concocted pills from his sleeve and threw it at him.
Fang Zhen subconsciously caught it. He looked at and then spoke, ”What's the meaning with this?”
That cultivator replied, “The 4th Young Master has commanded that, if Fairyland Senior Brothers were to arrive, in order to appease their laborious journey, they were to be granted with this bottle of Green Jade Cinder Pills.”
“Oh? Green Jade Cinder Pills?” Fang Zhen was unable to restrain the change in his complexion.
