Chương 15: The four clans Alliance

Long Feng spent the night cultivating, trying to breakthrough to rank six connate level. While he mad significant progress, he was ultimately unable to achieve the breakthrough. By morning, he prepared a small bag with a few rations, water and one or two extra clothes. Then he fondly looked around the small room he'd lived in for years and sighed before walking out. Long Feng left the clan with the old Clan Chief very early that morning. They were as discreet as possible, and no one was allowed to speak of it.

Only a select few elders knew that they had left. Long Feng and the old Clan Chief didn't use horses. Instead, they went on foot so as not to gather any attention. They also followed crowds of people on the way through the streets of the city. The only problem was that Long feng was now quite popular in the city. Many people knew what he looked like. For that reason, Long feng had to put on a conical hat which covered his face as they moved.

"Are you sure you want to head to Gan Yu city?" On the way, the old Clan Chief asked Long feng. Before they had set out, the old Clan Chief informed Long Feng of all the major cities within Jianhai Province. To their surprise, Long Feng chose to head over to the strongest city within the province; Gan yu city. Gan Yu city was the closest to where the Jianhai clan stayed. The Jianhai clan was the strongest powerhouse within the province. They had an inheritance of nearly five hundred years!

There was said to be a spirit realm cultivator guarding the clan and stabilizing their destiny. All these factors enabled the Jianhai clan to become the rulers of the province. Long Feng nodded.

"I'm sure senior. That is where I want to go." he replied. He heard that the city had several sects and clans within and without it, most of them being powerful forces with Yang realm warriors. Any of those forces was much stronger than the five great clans of the star mountain city combined together. The old Clan Chief nodded. They walked for a long while through several winding streets and finally left the large gates of the star mountain city, officially exiting the city.

"Now we must hurry up. Come on." The old clan chief grabbed Long Feng's arm and began to run on the ground, taking large strides with each step. At his speed, he could even compare with a speeding horse. Long Feng was surprised at how much strength his old body possessed. Was this the strength of Yin cultivators? A few minutes later, the old clan chief suddenly came to a halt and let go of Long Feng's arm with a grave expression.

Long Feng followed his line of sight and found around a dozen men standing several meters away, blocking their paths. At the same time, more people rushed out of the surrounding bushes and blocked their path of retreating, efficiently trapping them. There were four men in the lead. This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. The old Clan Chief frowned after recognizing the four.

"This is bad… The four clans have brought their core battle strength out. Even their Clan Chiefs and great elders came…" He muttered.

"How the hell did they find out? We were careful enough to ensure that not even the clansmen knew of our departure. We even took an extremely deserted road, yet…" The old clan chief was appalled. Just the four clan Chiefs and great elders were enough to trouble him. If the others should attack Long Feng while he was held down, things may not be good. The Gong clan Chief was a middle aged man with a somewhat square face.

He was quite young among Yin level cultivators, proof that he was once a genius among his generation. He stared at Long Feng with a sharp gaze then turned to the old Clan Chief with a smile.

"Senior, it is an honor to meet you!" He said, going as far as clasping his fists. The old Clan Chief snorted coldly in reply.

"I wish I could say the same."

"Hahaha! Senior doesn't need to be angry. We have come to arrest that young man behind you. We have sufficient proof that he has stolen some treasures of our four clans. I truly hope that Senior doesn't interrupt us and calmly hand over the boy to us. If further investigations reveal that he is innocent, we will return him with a compensation." The Gong clan Chief spoke with a honorable expression.

"Hmph! Gong Shi! Can you be anymore shameless?" The old Clan Chief shouted. What sufficient proof? They just wanted an excuse to act. And returning him? That was an incomplete joke. They would probably return a crippled person, or a corpse. Either way, if Long Feng got into their hands, there was no escaping unharmed. Gong Shi laughed.

"Senior, let me speak openly then. I see you're a straightforward person. Hand over Long Feng if you want your clan to be spared. I promise to compensate you for your loss of a talent." He shouted, dropping the act.

"Heh!" the old clan chief sneered.

"I'm afraid we won't hand him over. Our Long clan is not afraid of your cowardly four clans alliance!" He shouted back.

"Haha! Old Long! You are already so old, yet you're still foolish. You wish to battle against our four clans because of one bastard? He isn't even a real descendant of your clan! He was adopted. Besides, do you really think that your Long clan has any hope of defeating us?" The Li clan Chief laughed.

"He looks down on us because he's a rank six Yin level cultivator. He thinks we're all unable to stop him from leaving." The Song clan Chief added with a mocking smile. The old clan chief frowned. That was exactly what he was thinking. He was a level stronger than them all, and although they had much higher numbers, he could still force an escape with Long Feng. He would at most, suffer some injuries.

"Hmph! Let us show him how wrong he is." the Xuan clan Chief smiled coldly. Suddenly, the aura of a rank six Yin level cultivator burst out. An old man dressed in black cloak walked into the open. He was a rank six Yin level cultivator! The old Clan Chief was stunned.

"Gong Yun! You actually broke into the sixth Yin level?" He questioned in shock. The man was actually a great elder of the Gong clan. Now, the Gong clan had nothing to fear of the Long clan! That was extremely bad news!

"Brother Long! It's been a while. Out of courtesy and past memories, we will not attack your clan. But you must hand over that boy to us. He can't be allowed to leave this city." Gong Yun said. The old Clan Chief looked around and felt helpless. They had a rank six, two rank five, a few rank four and three Yin realm warriors and even several more at rank one. Wanting to forcefully charge out with Long Feng was a pipe dream, especially with a fellow rank six watching over him. He didn't know what to do.

"Why are we wasting time? Let us finish them both, then we will go and end the Long clan lineage for good!" The Xuan clan Chief shouted.

"Brother Long, I'm afraid we'll have to resort to this. Don't be offended… it's really nothing personal." Gong Yun shouted and immediately shot towards the old Clan Chief. His aura surged out of his body and crushed the small stones around him.

"Long Feng, leave right now. I will keep them all busy. Don't worry about me. I will definitely leave alive. Take this, from the whole clan!" The old Clan Chief said, handing a small sack over to Long Feng. Long feng grabbed the sack and stuffed it into his pocket without looking and nodded gratefully. He didn't hesitate to throw the conical hat off his head before turning and running away with all his strength. He wasn't foolish enough to stay and die. This was a fight between powerful Yin realm warriors.

They were far above his level. His current strength wasn't enough to be of any help. He had engraved everything into his mind. The Long clan's favor and the four clans alliance, he would remember them all. Once he became stronger, he would definitely return this favor to the four clans several-fold. He ran away with speed almost comparable to a rank 1 Yin level cultivator! That was all of his current speed at the limit.

"Stop him!" Gong shi shouted, rushing towards Long feng. Suddenly, the old Clan Chief attacked him. The old clan chief faced him and also dragged all the others in, obstructing them all from going after Long Feng. The old Clan Chief was facing all of them in a battle. Although he was disadvantaged, he wouldn't be defeated easily.

"Damn it! Get out of my way old man! We have to kill that boy!" The Li clan Chief shouted frustratedly. Still, the old Clan Chief kept attacking them, preventing them from chasing Long feng.

"Damn you old man!" The Xuan clan Chief cursed.

"All of you, go after that boy! Kill him! Whoever kills him will be greatly rewarded by the four clans!" Gong Shi shouted at the others behind them. It must be known that there was an elder of the Gong clan who was a rank two Yin level cultivator within the group. The few people nodded fervently and sped off towards the direction which Long feng went. The rank two Yin level cultivator was the fastest, leaving a trail of dust behind him.
