Chapter 59 – Guest from Province City
“Is the family giving me a confinement order?” Zhao Feng felt like he'd been splashed with cold water.
He had taken first place at the summit, and he received this sort of treatment, instead of being feted like a hero? He obviously wasn’t a retard, the people that had teamed up with the Qiu family were the two that died! That night when he returned, it was obviously planned. Qiu Mengyu invited him over to get them time to set up their plan. Once the plan was successful and Zhao Feng died near their own sect, how would the Zhao family react? Furthermore, a dead genius from the branch sect wouldn’t motivate the high levels much to find the killer.
“Relax!” Elder Zhao said deeply, “As long as I’m alive, they have no evidence to do anything to you. I’ll make sure to find the truth!”
“Thank you for you care, elder.” Zhao Feng was full of respect and gratitude.
Truthfully, if Zhao Feng didn’t have Elder Zhao defending him, it wouldn’t be as simple as a confinement order.
Confinement order?
Zhao Feng laughed coldly within his heart and couldn’t be bothered to explain.
He was just a branch disciple; the high levels of the sect didn’t trust him. If he was to explain the truth, his hidden strength and cultivation would cause another whole range of problems.
Zhao Feng calmly sat down and cultivated, his injuries were almost fully healed. With his sixth rank cultivation, his strength was top tier in Sun Feather City, and the only ones that could threaten him were Martial Masters. Apart from that, Zhao Feng didn’t put anyone else in his eyes.
“I will leave the Zhao family, leave Sun Feather City, and see the outside world.” Zhao Feng had such a wish within his heart, he had lost his feel of belonging here.
From the day he had seen the mysterious girl at the canyon, he was filled with longing for the outside world. Inside the dimension within his left eye, that palm of the girl was being replayed back and forth. Up to now, he still hadn’t understood the profoundness contained in it.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. Zhao Feng calculated the days and realized that he had just turned fourteen.
He had been training hard these days, and Lightly Micro Step had reached the peak level. He realized that his comprehension of high ranked martial arts grew easier as he fathomed the One with the Heavens aura. It was similar to a Martial Master learning low ranked martial arts, obviously a simple task for a seventh rank.
Zhao Feng felt that even Star Finger didn’t seem so hard anymore. Now, his Star Finger was not far away from late stages of the fourth level. On the day that Zhao Feng turned fourteen, a guest came to the Zhao family. At this moment, all the core members of the Zhao sect’s high levels were there. Apart from Elder Zhao who was guarding the Martial Arts Library, all the other elders were present.
“What does my family have for Master Ye to come personally?” The head of the sect asked of the figure sitting on the head seat.
The person sitting on the sect leader’s seat was a middle-aged man around thirty-five years of age. He looked like a mortal, someone that didn’t cultivate. But every action he made, every breath he took, shocked the elders. Only those of the seventh rank or higher could feel the danger emitting from the man, even though he had already concealed his aura.
“I heard that the Xin and Zhao family both have a very talented genius. I’m under orders from Lord Guanjun to investigate this.” After this was said, the breathing rate of everyone present increased.
Lord Guanjun!
Cold sweat poured out from Zhao Tiancang’s scalp. Being a city under the Guangjun Provinces City’s control, how could they not know who Lord Guanjun was?
The Zhao family was in just one of the twelve cities under the Guanjun province, and the dictator of the province was Lord Guanjun!
His story was a legend itself. Lord Guanjun was one of the seven major lords, he had extremely high cultivation. Apparently, he had once slaughtered two hundred thousand soldiers, slain eighteen Martial Masters of the seventh rank or higher, and killed the ninth rank enemy general. Apparently, Lord Guanjun had also slain five
high tier deadly beasts in one blow, all of them stronger than the Two Winged Sword Teeth Tiger that Zhao Feng had met.
Apparently, he had reached the ninth rank before thirty years of age. Tens of years later, there were even rumors that he had reached the legendary Holy Martial Path! It didn’t matter whether or not the legend was true, as Lord Guanjun was one of the powerhouses of this country!
What was the Zhao family compared to it?
And now this Master Ye had come to the Zhao sect under orders from that man. Instantly, the people present looked at each other excitedly.
“We dare ask, who is the genius that Master Ye is looking for?” Zhao Tiancang wiped the sweat off his forehead.
This Master Ye was of the ninth rank and he had a high chance of being one of Lord Guanjun’s right hand men. Throughout Sun Feather City, there was only a tiny chance of having cultivators of the eighth rank. With Master Ye’s strength, he could kill Martial Masters as easily as he killed cats and dogs. It could be said that the Zhao family had no chance of resisting him.
“According to my information, the Xin and Zhao family both have a genius. I don’t know their names…I just recently went to the Xin family but the result disappointed me…” Master Ye couldn’t help but shake his head.
Obviously, he didn’t get to see Xin Wuheng, who had disappeared after the summit. There was still no sign of him even after a month, and apart from Xin Wuheng, the Xin family didn’t have any especially outstanding youths.
“Um… without the name we don’t know which one you’re talking about.” Light flashed through Zhao Tiancang’s eyes.
Master Ye casually said, “That’s easy, just bring out the most talented person.”
The head of the sect exchanged looks with the others. If they were talking about the most talented person, then they would have to choose between Zhao Feng and Zhao Linlong. But Zhao Feng had just received a confinement order, and they had suspicions of him joining the Qiu family.
“Haha, could the Zhao sect not even know their genius?” Master Ye laughed as he released his aura.
That moment, the pressure inside the room increased. An unbearable pressure crushed towards Zhao Tiancang and the other elders.
“There-there is one,” Zhao Tiancang quickly said. “We have an outstanding genius within our sect, he’s my son Zhao Linlong. He’s reached the sixth rank before eighteen years of old and he gained some insights into Holy martial arts a few days ago.”
Zhao Linlong!
The other elders immediately nodded their heads in agreement. It was true that Zhao Linlong had the highest cultivation amongst the youngsters. Furthermore, he had gained some insights into the partial Holy martial arts, this was something that some elders couldn’t even do.
“Oh? Bring him out.” Master Ye seemed to be interested.
“Someone go fetch Zhao Linlong!”
Zhao Linlong, clad in his usual gold, came into the room and greeted everyone present. When he found that the head of the sect wasn’t sitting at his usual seat, he was shocked.
From the situation, it seemed that the elders seemed to be in fear of this person...
“Hmm… eighteen years old, sixth rank, meh, average.” Master Ye nodded his head slightly, but he didn’t seem happy.
Zhao Linlong felt anger creep into his heart. The elders seemed to be stunned as well. After all, only Zhao Linlong had reached the sixth rank before turning eighteen.
Obviously, they didn’t know that Xin Wuheng and Zhao Feng had both reached the sixth rank, with Xin Wuheng reaching peak sixth rank. Zhao Linlong was almost eighteen and Zhao Feng had just turned fourteen. Even with his fifth rank cultivation, it was obvious that his potential was higher than Zhao Linlong’s.
“Show me some of your skills," the man said expressionlessly.
“Yes, Master Ye.” Zhao Linlong could barely contain his excitement. From the meaning in his stepfather's eyes, he knew this was a chance to change his destiny.
Spatial Cloud Finger!
Zhao Linlong exclaimed and used his best move. At the same time, he used his Shadow Step as well. After showing his skills, Zhao Linlong seemed to be full of confidence. Every finger he pushed out seemed to blast through the sky.
“Good! Good!”
The elders couldn’t help but nod their heads and cheer for him. But on the highest seat, Master Ye sat expressionlessly. No one knew what he thought.
Chapter 60 – Fetch Zhao Feng
Zhao Linlong’s performance was indeed great. Throwing away the fact that he had the highest cultivation, every skill that he showed was perfect. His Spatial Cloud Finger was now even better than what it was at the Summit, and his Shadow Step had closed in on perfection.
Zhao Linlong started to work even harder after his defeat and under the pressure, his strength had increased. Even some sixth ranks of the older generation weren’t his opponent.
“Not bad.” The head of the sect and elders nodded their heads. From their point of view, Zhao Linlong’s strength was indeed top tier in Sun Feather City. They turned to Master Ye.
“Master Ye, how do you feel…?” Zhao Tiancang couldn’t help but ask.
Once his stepson Zhao Linlong was chosen by Guanjun Palace, his future days couldn’t be estimated. It would only be a matter of time before Sun Feather City was controlled by the Zhao sect. The other elders looked on expectantly.
“So – so.” The words were like a hammer that heavily hit Zhao Tiancang.
“So-so?” Zhao Linlong’s face turned red.
Anger surged in his heart. Being the genius with the highest cultivation within Sun Feather City, he had only received a so-so review?
“Oh yes! Linlong! Didn’t you gain something from the partial Holy martial art?” the sect leader prodded him.
Partial Holy martial art!
Yes!
Eyes lit up amongst the elders.
“Hehe.” Some interest was finally visible in Master Ye’s eyes.
“Yes, father.” Zhao Linlong took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Suddenly, his aura changed.
At this moment, Zhao Linlong had the aura that Xin Wuheng had on the summit day, but much fainter, only around one-tenth of Wuheng's.
“Wind Flowing Stance!”
An unseen wind wave swept up everything in a radius of several meters. This casual swipe could seriously injure most cultivators under the seventh rank.
“Good, good!” The elders couldn’t help but applaud.
This was what they truly felt at heart, they weren’t acting. Their insights gained into the partial Holy martial art weren’t much stronger than Zhao Linlong’s. After their cheering, they once again looked expectantly at Master Ye.
There shouldn’t be any problems this time, right? A faint smile appeared on Zhao Linlong’s face.
“This is your so-called insight from a partial Holy martial art? The power of it isn’t even stronger than your Spatial Cloud Finger! You haven’t even touched the corner of a Holy martial art yet! Useless!” the cold, expressionless voice sounded within the room.
Instantly dead silence fell.
Zhao Linlong felt somewhat dissatisfied. However, the man sitting there was one of the country’s few ninth ranks.
Ninth rank of the Martial Path!
Even if they were unsatisfied, they didn’t have any courage to rebuke him.
“The genius I am looking for… is not him,” Master Ye said harshly.
On the day of the summit, the two Guanjun Corpsmen didn’t know Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng’s names, but they had seen their potential and talents. The potential of those two were ranked in the top five of Guanjun Province. Zhao Linlong’s performance wasn’t even able to reach the top twenty.
“Master Ye, Linlong’s cultivation is the highest amongst the younger generation,” Zhao Tiancang said helplessly.
At this moment, the other elders realized who Master Ye truly wanted, but they had confine
d that person. This was the reason that Zhao Tiancang didn’t mention him.
A few seconds of silence followed.
“Call all the youngsters of the fifth rank or higher here,” Master Ye ordered.
Zhao Tiancang immediately did what he was ordered to do.
Zhao Yufei, Zhao Chi, and Zhao Han all came to the room. There were only five youths who had reached the fifth rank: Zhao Linlong, Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei, Zhao Chi, and Zhao Han. But there were only four present.
“This person comes from the Guanjun Province. You must all perform well and if you’re chosen, you may be taken to the Guanjun Palace,” Zhao Tiancang explained.
Immediately, excitement rose on their faces. Compared to the Guanjun Palace, their Zhao family was just an ant. If they were chosen by the Guanjun Palace, their future couldn’t be measured.
The first person that came up was Zhao Han. When he went up, a powerful, cold Inner Strength flowed out from his body.
“Focusing solely on cultivation isn’t good,” Master Ye shook his head.
Hope was extinguished from Zhao Han’s eyes. In Master Ye’s eyes, his performance was crap. The scene caused Zhao Linlong to let out a breath and even feel slightly good. Zhao Chi went up next.
“Average, you’re understanding is manageable.” The review was slightly better than before.
Finally, it was Zhao Yufei’s turn. Zhao Yufei was the youngest and therefore, she went last. She immediately performed her Spiritual Wind Slice and using of Air Crossing Breathing Technique, all her moves were beautiful.
Finally, a light came from the expressionless Master Ye’s eyes. “Not bad.”
Not bad!
This was the best review he had given. Zhao Linlong’s face was pretty ugly. In terms of strength and cultivation, he easily surpassed Zhao Yufei. But Zhao Yufei was only fourteen years old, and therefore her potential was far greater.
The elders were stunned, they never thought that the one that Master Ye would look most importantly at was Zhao Yufei. But if they thought about it logically, Zhao Yufei came from a branch of the main sect and under the conditions of low resources, she had still surpassed what Zhao Linlong achieved at her age.
