“Bastard! This is the world of humans, go back to the Sky Cloud Forest!” Lord Guanjun stood proudly on the ground and ordered.
Under the pressure of his Holy Martial Path, the hundreds of thousands of beasts shook in fear. If the Lord tier deadly beast wasn’t there, they would have fled already.
Peh! Peh!
Zhao Feng felt some sort of pressure and sizzles of heat coming from his left eye and it was released throughout his body. It made the light inside the dimension of his left eye move closer to 2.65 meters.
This change made Zhao Feng’s heart beat faster. Ever since he had merged with this eye, Zhao Feng felt limitless potential time and time again. At this moment, his cultivation was increasing under the pressure outside. Now, Zhao Feng felt that his future potential had exceed the Half Spiritual Body.
Right as he was thinking, the battle below had broken out.
Wuuu~~~~~~~
The Lord tier deadly beast waved its claw and like black lightning streaking across the sky, a blast of power destroyed everything within thirty meters.
Just the aura from it made Zhao Feng’s head tingle. If they let the Lord tier deadly beast into Guanjun Province City, the results would be unthinkable.
Ten Cross Rippling Execution!
Lord Guanjun’s arm turned to a sharp silver color and in an instant, a bright flash sped through the air that ripped the Lord tier deadly beasts’ attack into shreds.
Boom!
The ground trembled as dust covered the air. The next instant the two figures had disappeared.
Peh! Peh! Boom----
Lord Guanjun and the Lord tier deadly beast exchanged blows quickly, and the residual energy alone immediately killed the nearby creatures. The two figures were small compared to the other deadly beasts, but the aura they radiated made the other beasts tremble in fear.
The cultivators on the city wall held their breaths as they watched, although they couldn’t even understand what was going on. Only Zhao Feng could see clearly with his left eye.
“Strength, speed, damage…how is it possible for a human to reach such a level?”
Zhao Feng took a deep breath and because he saw clearer, he understood how strong cultivators of the Holy Martial Path were. Cultivators of the Holy Martial Path could decide a country’s fate in the thirteen Sky Cloud countries, therefore even the King would be respectful towards one.
Lord Guanjun was one of them, he had absolute power in Sky Cloud Country.
When one reached the Holy Martial Path, the time for a battle became very short, but the number of moves exchanged increased significantly.
In the midst of booms, the Lord tier deadly beast growled in pain and the black flames decreased whereas the silver light on Lord Guanjun became brighter.
“Lord Guanjun is almost uninjured and although they’re both at the same realm, he has better technique and skill.” Zhao Feng stared at the two figures.
Wu…
Fear and wariness appeared in the Lord tier deadly beast's eyes as it retreated quickly. Its actions caused the hundreds of thousands of beasts behind to break into chaos.
Escape?
Lord Guanjun laughed coldly and waved his arm through the air. As he did so, an eight-meter-long light flew at the Lord tier deadly beast, leaving behind a gash that went to the bone.
Sou…sou…sou… Two figures weaved through the beast horde.
“Hahaha… these bastards are retreating, everyone attack!”
“The beasts have fine materials, which we can sell for gold.”
The cultivators of Guanjun Province City cheered as they charged out of the city.
“Nan Gongfan, Zhao Feng, Zhao Fei, and Feng Hanyue… we’ll follow and watch how Master slays a Lord tier deadly beast," Qing Yangshan said excitedly.
On the other side, Bei Moi had already followed Lord Guanjun out.
“Troops, advance!” General Heng gave the order for the troops and cultivators to attack the fleeing beast horde.
“Ok.” Zhao Feng nodded his head and he went with the other disciples towards their Master.
Zhao Feng was very interested in how the cultivators of the Holy martial path fought. His left eye could see the scenery of Lord Guanjun and the Lord tier deadly beast fighting.
After chasing for tens of kilometers, Lord Guanjun and the Lord tier deadly beast stopped near a forest. The Lord tier beast was heavily injured and dripping blood as it knelt on the ground, unable to move.
Lord Guanjun’s body stiffened and he didn’t move.
Hmm? What’s the situation?
Zhao Feng was slightly curious. At this moment, Bei Moi, who was eight kilometers away, couldn’t see what was happening clearly. But Zhao Feng, who was tens of kilometers away, saw the situation: The Lord tier deadly beast wasn’t kneeling down because of Lord Guanjun, because its backside was facing the latter.
“Who’s there!?” Lord Guanjun was extremely solemn as he released a terrifying mental strength.
“Zhe-zhe…there’s a Yuefan cultivator in Guanjun Province City…"
A hooded figure sat on top of a black bird. Under the hood, a pair of ice cold eyes stared down at Lord Guanjun as it laughed.
It’s him!
Zhao Feng’s heart shook as he saw this scene tens of kilometers away. He had seen this person on that day during the bandit mission and Zhao Feng had a feeling that this beast horde had connections with him.
“Why are you controlling the beast hordes to attack the human city and villages? Aren’t you afraid of the Thirteen County pact?” Lord Guanjun shouted as light twinkled in his eyes.
Pah!
The black bird in the sky flapped its wings and a black wind twirled towards him. Lord Guanjun’s expression immediately changed as he retreated ten yards. Instantly, the place where he originally stood dissolved, and the Lord tier black dog howled sadly as it died.
Si~~
Zhao Feng couldn’t help but take in a cold breath as he saw this scene.
The black bird under the hooded figure was at least twice as strong as the black dog. Obviously, he could only see the situation and not what they were saying.
As they exchanged words, Lord Guanjun’s expression turned grimmer and grimmer.
“Zhe zhe zhe…today’s playing ends here…”
At last, the hooded figure with the ice cold blue eyes scanned Bei Moi, who had almost caught up, and rose into the sky. By the time Bei Moi had arrived, the mysterious hooded figure as well as the black bird had turned into a black dot that merged into the sky.
“Master, what just happened? Who was he?” Bei Moi asked curiously, as he looked up at where the hooded figure vanished.
Lord Guanjun was silent for a while before he let out a breath. “Danger appears for the thirteen countries of the Sky Cloud Forest…but this is also a chance for you…”
As he said that, he looked expectantly at the disciples behind him.
A chance?
Zhao Feng, Qing Yangshan, Feng Hanyue, and Zhao Yufei had all arrived.
Chapter 96 - Tip of an iceberg
The Lord tier deadly beast's corpse lay shattered in the ground nearby.
Lord Guanjun stood with his hands behind his back in front of the beast, looking at his six disciples, Bei Moi, Yang Qingshan, Nan Gongfan, Feng Hanyue, Zhao Feng, and Zhao Yufei.
The six youths were the elite prodigies of Guanjun Province City, but Lord Guanjun’s attention was mainly focused on Bei Moi.
“A chance?” Zhao Feng’s eyes twinkled, he didn’t know what Lord Guanjun meant?
On the way here, Zhao Feng had seen what had happened between the two, including all the actions. But he couldn’t hear what they were saying.
“Master, what do you mean?” Feng Hanyue asked, unable to conceal his curiosity.
The biggest chance he had to change his destiny was to become Lord Guanjun’s disciple. Awaiting the answer, the others were all anticipating.
> “This chance is also your Master’s wish…” Lord Guanjun sighed softly as his eyes looked into the distance with longing, hate, anticipation, and other complex emotions.
Being someone who had absolute power in Guanjun Province City, what could stir so many emotions in him?
Zhao Feng had seen similar emotions that day in the Spiritual Martial Hall. But at that time, Lord Guanjun’s emotions passed by in a flash with only Zhao Feng able to catch it.
He had asked that day why Lord Guanjun searched for so many geniuses?
Lord Guanjun’s reply was to fulfill a wish.
Wish?
What could his wish be? A wish that he couldn’t even achieve and could only rely on the younger generation?
Teng! Sou! Sou!
Right at this time, the nearby strong cultivators, including Ye Linyun and General Heng, headed over, but Lord Guanjun lifted his hand and signaled them to leave.
Although Ye Linyun, General Heng and the others were slightly curious, they left without hesitation.
The scene made the six youths realize that Lord Guanjun had something important to say.
“Did any of you see the mysterious hooded figure?” Lord Guanjun seemed to change the topic.
“Yes, disciple here saw him last time in the Sky Cloud Forest…” Zhao Feng immediately answered.
The only ones who had actually seen the hooded figure were Zhao Feng and Bei Moi. Zhao Feng had seen him twice.
“Oh?"
Lord Guanjun looked at Zhao Feng, slightly stunned. “How strong do you think he was?”
“Very strong!” Zhao Feng thought about how the figure had made his moves the two times and his heart couldn’t help but turn cold.
Lord Guanjun smiled, “Do you think that he is stronger than me?”
This…
Zhao Feng didn’t think that his Master would ask this sort of question. Under the gaze of someone who had reached the Holy Martial Path, Zhao Feng could only answer, “Personally, disciple here thinks that the opponent is at least on par with Master, if not stronger…”
Since he had the mysterious left eye, Zhao Feng was very accurate on how strong someone was. His answer still contained a slight suspicious tone to it.
“Zhao Feng! What are you saying? How dare you look down upon Master and praise the enemy?” Nan Gongfan immediately exclaimed.
The brows of Bei Moi, Yang Qingshan and Feng Hanyue also furrowed, it was obvious that they didn’t believe him.
In the Cloud Country, Lord Guanjun was a legendary figure with supreme power and status. Being disciples of such a person, how could they be not confident?
Only Zhao Yufei believed Zhao Feng, a trust based on something that she couldn’t understand.
Zhao Feng’s reply surprised Lord Guanjun, and the latter couldn’t help but look at him a few more times. This was the first time that he had really inspected this disciple of his.
Nan Gongfan and the others were all shocked, it seemed that Master didn’t seem unhappy. In fact, he seemed to look at Zhao Feng in a new way.
“Say the truth, what do you think?” Lord Guanjun stared at him.
Zhao Feng couldn’t help but remember the standoff between Master and the hooded figure.
After a while, he took a deep breath and said confidently, “The mysterious figure should be stronger than Master.”
What!?
Nan Gongfan, Yang Qingshan, and the others expressions changed dramatically. Zhao Feng had guts!
“Of course, this is just my feeling.” Feeling the enmity from the other disciples, Zhao Feng added another sentence quickly.
“Indeed, that fellow’s strength is above mine,” Lord Guanjun said slowly as he appraised Zhao Feng.
“What!? Impossible! How could anyone be stronger than Master!?” Nan Gongfan couldn’t accept it.
When they had become his disciples, the Master in their eyes had stood at the peak of the world.
“Furthermore, that person can control Lord tier deadly beasts and lead limitless high tier deadly beasts into attacking Guanjun Province City. Under that situation, even I can do nothing to stop the destruction of Guanjun Province City…” Lord Guanjun said solemnly.
Control Lord tier deadly beasts? The disciples couldn’t even imagine this.
“There was a mastermind planning this beast horde…" Zhao Feng remembered the ice cold blue eyes again.
“Master! How could there be such a terrifying figure? And why did he stop attacking Guanjun Province City?” Yang Qingshan couldn’t accept this as well.
The gazes of the six youths focused on Lord Guanjun’s face.
“Hehe, the world you know is only the tip of an iceberg, the Holy Martial Path…is just the beginning. Even someone as strong as that hooded figure doesn’t dare to go against the Thirteen Countries Pact!” Lord Guanjun smiled.
The Holy Martial Path was just a start? The six prodigies were all stunned. Today, Lord Guanjun had shocked them too much and they could only understand half of this.
At this moment, Zhao Feng felt his blood boiling and he suddenly remembered the three youths that day in the canyon. All three of them were extremely young, and any one of them could kill an eighth rank Azure Eyed Hyena in one hit. The other two had also looked at the Hyena with disdain and they left it to the girl who had no battle experience.
Even Bei Moi was inferior compared to these three. Since then, Zhao Feng had understood how large the world was…there was still too many unknown things out there he couldn’t even touch…
“In your eyes, the Holy Martial Path may be a legend and the nobles who control the Thirteen Countries of the Sky Cloud have extreme power, but this isn’t the truth!” Lord Guanjun said mockingly, but the words he said were exactly what many people were thinking.
It was exactly what Zhao Feng had thought back at Green Leaf Village and Sun Feather City.
“The true controllers of the Sky Cloud Thirteen Counties aren’t the King, Lords, nobles or family clans! They are the thirteen clans above the mortal world!”
Speaking this, Lord Guanjun’s eyes became sharp, as if his gaze could rip open a hole in space.
Thirteen clans?
The six youths looked at each other.
Clans! Thirteen Clans that stood above the mortal world!
Why hadn’t they heard of them before?
When Zhao Feng was still in Green Leaf Village, Sun Feather City was already extremely powerful in his eyes. But as his cultivation rose, his eyes started to wander towards the Province City and the Thirteen Countries and he found out about the two strong countries next to the Sky Cloud Thirteen Countries.
Any one of the two countries could destroy the Thirteen Countries and therefore, the latter had to join together in order to survive.
But this wasn’t the truth!
“Master, how strong are the thirteen clans to be able to control the thirteen countries?” Nan Gongfan asked in disbelief.
“These clans control the path of cultivation. Every clan only has one thousand or so people, but they control the destiny of a country. If you want to ask how strong they are, your Master, I, was only an outer disciple of Broken Moon Clan,” Lord Guanjun sighed.
Outer disciple?
Bei Moi and the others froze. Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan shook their heads in disbelief.
“Someone as strong as Lord Guanjun was only an outer disciple, just like how I was in the Zhao sect…”
Waves appeared in Zhao Feng’s heart. They didn’t need to know how strong the clan was, just the fact that Lord Guanjun was only an outer disciple alone told them.
After knowing the truth, the six geniuses felt as if their souls were lost. Their achievements were top tier in Guanjun Province City, but compared with the clans, the two weren’t even on the same level, like how a human wouldn’t bother with an ant.
“The clan that controls the Cloud Country is known as the Broken Moon sect and the peak existen
ces have even surpassed the Holy Martial Path…” Speaking this, admiration and longing appeared in Lord Guanjun’s eyes.
Chapter 97 - First in Battle Points
Broken Moon Clan.
This was the clan that Lord Guanjun was once in and at that time, he was only an outer disciple!
When Lord Guanjun was speaking about the Broken Moon Clan, even he couldn’t control the eagerness and admiration in his voice.
It was hard to imagine what kind of power stood above the King.
“Master, does your wish have something to do with this clan?” Nan Gongfan asked with a tinge of excitement.
When they had first known about the existence of these clans, they were first shocked, but now they were full of anticipation.
“Maybe I’ll have a chance to touch that world…” The images of the three youths in the canyon once again appeared in Zhao Feng’s head.
The excitement and expectation in his heart wasn’t any weaker than Nan Gongfan’s.
“Your Master, I, came from the Broken Moon Clan and because I didn’t reach the Holy Martial Path before the age of 30, I lost the chance to become an inner disciple. So I left the clan and took up the duty of taking care of the mortal things. Therefore, I still have some connections with the clan.”
Lord Guanjun stopped for a moment, then he threw out another piece of news. “According to what I know, the five-year disciple test is starting in two months’ time.”
Disciple test!
The eyes of the six youths lit up. Bei Moi and the others couldn’t hide the excitement on their faces. The disciple test that took place once every five years was in two months’ time!
“Even the nearby countries can enter the Broken Mood Clan disciple test. At that time, the geniuses from around the country will gather, including those family clans hiding out of sight from mortals who have power even exceeding the Guanjun Palace. When all these prodigies meet up, the competition will be very fierce. Your Master has done his best and he can send a few into the disciple test,” Lord Guanjun summarized the situation.
“The elite of the elite around the country will fight to enter the Broken Moon Clan…” Zhao Feng and the others felt their blood boiling. A battle intent even surged forth from Bei Moi.
