Chương 17: Mortal Heaven Sect

"Kid, you're done? Hm, you don't seem to have any advancement in your cultivation. It's alright. It takes time patience to make a breakthrough." The old man smiled and said. Long Feng nodded.

"Well we can leave now right?" The old man asked again, staring at Long Feng with narrowed eyes. If Long Feng replied with another excuse, then the old man would immediately take action and capture him. It was all the same thing, as long as he was taken to the Gong Clan alive.

"Mm. We can go. I'm done." Long Feng replied.

"Good. Let's go everyone!" The old man shouted. There were five people in total. He was the only rank two Yin level cultivator, the rest were all rank one. Long Feng quietly assesesd them as they moved. Suddenly, he unleashed his full strength, his rank seven connate aura surging out if his body. The old man beside him glared at him coldly.

"Damned kid, I didn't believe you would give up so easily. You think you can escape from all of us with your weak cultivation? Quit dreaming!" He snorted and raised an arm. But before he could reach out to grab Long Feng, the latter ran off, running so fast that he left the rank one Yin level cultivators staring blankly. Even the old man was startled.

"What the hell? How is he suddenly so much faster than before?" He glanced at the others.

"Why are you all standing around like idiots! Chase him!" He roared as he rushed forward at his full speed as well.

"The rumors say he was a rank five Connate realm kid and he defeated two peak Connate realm kids. I thought it was an overestimation, but he's currently moving at a speed comparable to a normal rank two Yin level cultivator! This kid can only be taken by the clan. Otherwise, he must be killed!" The old man reasoned as he chased. Long Feng continuously looked behind as he ran and couldn't help but frown soon.

"All the rank one warriors can't keep up. But that damn only man is actually still closing the distance!" He wracked his brain for an idea, but none was forthcoming. At the end, he merely had strength similar to rank two Yin level current; he wasn't even a Yin realm cultivator in actuality. Soon, the old man got close again. An incense stick worth of time later, he caught up to Long Feng.

"Kid, this is your last chance! Obediently follow me to the Gong Clan and your life will be spared. Otherwise, I will drag you there and I can't assure your safety!" Long Feng paused, perspiring on the forehead.

"Damn you! I'm a member of the Long clan. How would I join another clan?"

"What member of the Long clan? Kid, you weren't even born there. You're adopted. You can join any clan. The Gong Clan is your best choice!" The old man retorted.

"Sorry. I can't. I am a Long clansman. I can't join the Gong Clan" Long Feng shook his head.

"It's not up to you to decide!" The old man snorted and charged straight at Long Feng with his arm outstretched. Long Feng was startled. He quickly stepped back, escaping the man's grasp. Then he turned around and started running again. Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

"Hmph. Kid, you can't escape!" The man shouted and overtook Long Feng again, sending a punch at his chest. Long Feng's pupils shrank and he crossed his arms across his chest to block the fist. The impact sent him staggering several steps backwards and he nearly fell down. The old man rushed forward with a kick. Long Feng blocked it again, but his arms both felt numb. The old man grinned and continued sending punches and kicks.

Long Feng dodged what he could and received the rest, each of them causing his arms to nearly feel useless. He could only defend, unable to attack when faced with an old man who had lots of experience.

"They said I should get you over alive. They never mentioned anything about being unharmed!" The old man spat as he landed a fist on Long Feng's chest, causing the latter to cough up some blood and support himself on one knee. The old man smiled in satisfaction and walked up to him.

"I hope you aren't heavy." He made to lift Long Feng up. Long Feng suddenly sprang forward with all his strength and held the old man's arm tightly. Before the man could react, Long Feng sank his teeth into his arm so deeply they drew blood. The old man screamed in pain and tried to slap Long Feng away, but the latter held on tightly. Long Feng's legs further wrapped around the man's waist as he held on as tightly as he could.

"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!" The old man roared and slammed his fist into Long Feng's open back. Long Feng felt the great pain, but didn't release his teeth. Instead, he dug deeper. The sharp pain nearly blinded the old man temporarily. Long Feng suddenly loosened his grasp and drew a sheathed sword from his bag; the sovereign sword given to him by the old clan chief. He quickly drew it out of the sheath, revealing a slender longsword that gleaned sharply under the sun.

The aura it emanated surpassed normal yin armaments.

"You! …" The old man snarled and was about to lift his arm when he froze. A sharp blade pierced through his chest and appeared on the other side, completely going through his body. He shivered a bit before collapsing to the ground, his sights getting blurry.

"D-damn you bas…tard". Long Feng's breathing was ragged as he pulled out the sword from the man's chest and returned it to the sheath without wiping the blood. He stared at the man's corpse and felt slightly sick and lightheaded. Was this how others felt after their first kill? He didn't waste more time. He quickly swallowed down a healing pill and continued to run towards his destination; Gan Yu city, leaving the Star Mountain area.

Long Feng rushed ahead at his fastest speed, only stopping to rest or sleep at night. Still, it took him four whole days to reach the capital city of Jianhai Province; Gan yu city. There was a legend in Gan yu city, that the tomb of a spirit realm cultivator was underneath the city, though, no one had managed to find anything. If the tomb really existed, then even spirit realm cultivators would come to search for the tomb. The remains of a spirit realm cultivator were that tempting.

Upon entering the city, Long feng looked for a popular restaurant, so he could eat and gather information at the same time. He found one. Immediately he entered the restaurant, the waiter rushed towards him"Greetings young friend. What would you like to have?" The waiter asked.

"Give me your best food and wine" Long feng replied. He was really hungry, as he had eaten nothing but dry rations for a few days. He pounced on the fresh food when it was brought and ate. As he was eating, he heard some conversations around.

"Have you heard that the Mortal heaven sect is beginning their entrance test into their sect?" Someone asked.

"Hmph, the Mortal heaven sect is just the weakest among the three top rate powers of Gan yu city. Their entrance test is nothing. What I want to see is the great competition of the Jianhai Province. All the Yang level powers would gather their elites to compete against each other. And this time, the Jianhai clan would also join the competition." Another person said.

"What! You mean the Jianhai clan would also take part in the competition? Wouldn't they just take the top ten positions home?" Someone asked"Of course! The Jianhai clan would definitely win. But the top three powers of Gan yu city are no pushovers. Other than the Mortal heaven sect, the two other powers; Yun Hai sect and Wuma clan would definitely have at least one person in the top ten. The Jianhai clan has promised a huge reward for the top ten cultivators." The person replied.

"So when is the competition?" Someone asked again.

"The competition will begin one and a half year from now. That is why the useless Mortal heaven sect opened their gates to new disciples ahead of time, hoping to get a talent from the new disciples." Someone replied. Many people burst out laughing. Long feng was quite interested.

He just got three pieces of information; that the Mortal heaven sect was accepting new disciples, that the Mortal heaven sect was one of the three top Yang level powers within Gan yu city, though it was the weakest among them, and that the province competition would begin in a year and half, and the Jianhai clan would also join the competition. Long feng decided to take part in the entrance test and join the Mortal heaven sect, get strong enough within one year, and join the competition.

That would be a great opportunity for him to temper himself. He finished his meal and paid the waiter, before asking him.

"Please how do I get to the Mortal heaven sect?" The waiter smiled.

"It seems like you are new in this city. The three great sects are all situated outside the city. Just find where Fang Mountain is. The Mortal heaven sect is there." the waiter replied. Thanking him, Long feng left the restaurant. He didn't want to waste any time, so, he questioned many people on the way, until he arrived at the Fang Mountain. The mountain was high and vast. Even if a Yin level cultivator was to use all his strength, it would still take at least one week to reach the peak of the mountain!

It's height could be imagined. East of the Fang Mountain was a large valley. The valley was huge and the natural energies there was quite thick. If someone should cultivate here, he would get double the profit with half the effort. Currently, many people were gathered in the valley, almost a hundred people. Some were even Yin level cultivators, and they were all young! They all seemed to be looking for something, and more people kept arriving.
