Chương 140: Clear sky realm

In the sky, the figure looked over the city with cold indifferent eyes. The once lively village was now filled with an eery silence that shook the soul. And not a single drop of blood could be found on the floor! The city looked like it had been silently evacuated. Anyone who knew that hundreds of villagers were slaughtered would probably feel sick. After absorbing all of the blood fog, the figure in the Sky shook slightly.

If Long Feng and the other two were here, they would have recognized this figure, because it was limitless blood assassin! His face was currently white and bloodless. His aura was much weaker than before, sign that he was merely an arrow at the end of his flight and his body was covered in injuries. After absorbing the blood fog completely though, his pale face recovered a little bit and his waning aura became somewhat stable. Deep killing intent flared in limitless blood's eyes.

"That damn brat! I will make him suffer a fate worse than death when I grab him. And Dong Yu Lu, I will get back to you soon. Hmph!" He waved his sleeves and vanished in a streak of blood red light.

Meanwhile, after resting for two days and recovering from their injuries, Long feng, Yan Jian and Li yu'er headed to a nearby city. After paying the entry fee, they entered the city only to find it strangely deserted. The city was larger than Tiger city which was destroyed by Limitless blood, yet it was barely populated. Only few people could be seen roaming the streets.

"Why is the city so empty? Did something happen?" Yan Jian looked around and spotted a shop stall that was not closed.

"Let's go and ask around." The three of them walked up to the shop stall. A wrinkled old man poked his head out of the stall and smiled at them.

"Good guests, what pill have you come to buy? I must let you know that I sell the best healing pills in this city. My healing pills are all top tier…" The old man began.

"Sorry uncle, but we aren't here to buy pills." Yan Jian replied.

"Oh" the man's smile dimmed.

"Then what have you come for?"

"We are actually new to the city and we found it quite empty. We are curious if something occurred recently?" Yan Jian asked. Hearing that, the old man looked at the three of them with a surprised look.

"Even if you are new in the city, you should have known what happened. The news has already spread all over the province."

"Actually, we only came to the blue sky province not long ago." Long feng replied. The old man nodded, a look of understanding on his face.

"Ah. I see. Normally you would have to pay me for an information like this. But seeing that you are new here, I wouldn't charge you anything." he spoke with a magnanimous look on his face. After pausing for a minute, the old man finally continued.

"A few days ago, the overlord of the province; Blue Sky Sect spread a news that shook the province. They would open the clear sky realm for the whole province this year in preparation for the upcoming inter province competition. Apparently, they want to aim for the first place in the continent!" This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. Hearing that, Yan Jian's eyes lit up and he almost couldn't contain his excitement, almost laughing in the spot.

From his expression, one could see that the Clear Sky realm was a very good place. Long feng and Li Yue'er's interest were naturally piqued and they were also curious about what this clear sky realm was. The old man beamed at Yan Jian"This young friend seems to know a thing or two about the clear sky realm." Yan Jian nodded.

"I've heard a few things about it." The old man nodded in understanding.

"Normally, according to the Blue sky sect, only one hundred people can enter the realm whenever it is opened. This time won't be any different. In that regard, fifty of those spots belongs to the Blue sky sect's juniors while the remaining fifty would be competed for by the talented juniors of the other sects or lone cultivators. The requirements for participating in the competition is that one must be younger than thirty and have a cultivation of at least the Yin realm." The old man continued.

"Fifty spots huh…" some of the lights in Yan Jian's eyes dimmed. Apparently, the clear sky realm was a place which numerous talented juniors in the province would dream of entering. Upon receiving this news from the Blue sky sect, it was obvious that at least a few hundred juniors would participate in the competition. Filtering fifty juniors from over a thousand of talents would be a challenge. The competition was going to be very fierce in that situation.

It would be very taxing on people to get a spot among those fifty. Yang realm geniuses would be abundant, especially in a high rank province.

"When is the competition beginning?" Long Feng asked.

"You're lucky you came just in time. It's beginning in three days I think. Most of the juniors of the province have already gathered in the territory of the Blue sky sect." The old man replied with a knowing grin. Long feng turned to look at Yan Jian.

"How far are we from the Blue sky sect's territory?"

"It's about two day's journey from here. The Blue sky sect is located in the center of the province." Long feng nodded.

"Is it worth it to go?" He asked again. Yan Jian nodded.

"It is. The clear sky realm is a place you wouldn't want to miss. Countless fortuitous encounters and life changing treasures have been found over the generations by the juniors of the Blue sky sect. This is a one in a lifetime opportunity. We definitely shouldn't miss it. If we want to get strong real fast, then this is our best shot. The only problem is whether we can even get a spot."

"Don't worry about getting a spot. Without the Blue Sky Sect's juniors competing against us, we will have little to worry about." Long feng replied. Yan Jian nodded and his spirit was lifted.

"Thank you for your help." Yan Jian bowed slightly to the old man and the trio walked away, leaving the old man staring at them with his mouth agape.

"Ha! What an arrogant bunch. Without the juniors of the Blue Sky Sect, they think they have nothing to worry about? Do they think they are unrivaled in the province? Youths and their arrogance!" He shook his head and sighed.

Long feng, Yan Jian and Li yu'er immediately left the city and headed towards the Blue sky sect's territory following Yan Jian's lead. It was really as Yan Jian said as the journey was really exactly two day's journey. After passing countless half empty cities and sects or clans, the trio arrived at a seemingly endless mountain range. Mountains could be seen for as far as the eyes could see and the environment was carpeted in a beautiful greenery.

Distinct buildings could be seen on the mountains and animals could also be seen everywhere. This was the territory of the Blue Sky Sect. Staring at the distance in a daze, Long feng muttered.

"This is the Blue sky sect? It at least two times larger than the Jianhai clan's territory!" He could notice this even from the distance. Yan Jian laughed as pride shone in his eyes.

"That is the difference between a high ranked and a low ranked province. They aren't even comparable!"

"Miss Li, you're from the Overlord province. How large is the Yihua clan's territory compared to the Blue Sky Sect's?" Yan Jian asked curiously.

"I've never been there!" Li Yue'er replied simply without thinking much.

"Oh. Well, that is the continent overlord we are talking about. Not every idiot has the chance to visit their territory." Yan Jian shrugged and immediately shuddered, feeling a cold glare on himself.

"N-n…no-no miss Li. Don't get me wrong. I'm referring to others, not you." Li yu'er retracted her cold gaze slowly.

"Phew! That was close!" Yan Jian wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"Enough bickering. Let's go!" Long Feng laughed and interrupted them. The trio stepped right into the territory of the Blue Sky Sect. They hadn't gone far when a powerful aura descended upon them.

"A Yang realm master!" Long feng and the other two froze. This aura was clearly that of a powerful Yang realm cultivator, at least mid Yang realm master!

"Who goes there?" A grim voice sounded around them. Yan Jian instantly cupped his fists and bowed his head slightly.

"These juniors are here to join the competition for the Clear Sky Realm. May we trouble senior to point us in the right direction?"

"Head west. The registration pavilion is there, and it's almost over!" The voice ordered and the aura vanished completely.

"Let's go!" The trio headed west as the voice ordered.

"Really worthy of being a high ranked province overlord!. A mere guard outside the territory is a mid Yang realm master. That man was at least a rank four Yang realm cultivator!" Long feng couldn't help but sigh. Back in the Jianhai clan, the guards outside the territory were merely peak Yin level cultivators. The difference between the two was like the difference between cloud and mud.

"Hehehe!. How can the trivial low ranked province of yours compare to my…" Yan Jian began when he suddenly shuddered as he felt an icy chill surround his body. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead immediately as he froze.

"You talk too much." Li Yue'er stared at him coldly before looking away. Yan Jian snorted in his heart but didn't dare to speak anymore. Seeing this, Long Feng couldn't help but laugh again, earning a pitiful look from Yan Jian.

"We're here!" Long feng suddenly pointed out to ease the awkward moment for Yan Jian. In the distance, a large pavilion was discernable. Hundreds of youths from different backgrounds were gathered around the pavilion, making for a bustling and noisy scene. This was rather far from the actual Blue Sky Sect. After all, they wouldn't allow people into their sect without a very good reason. More people arrived and entered the pavilion to register their names before waiting outside the pavilion.

It could be said that the place was quite lively.
