Chương 192: Visiting the Jianhai clan

The next morning, Long Feng, Yan jian and Li Yue'er silently left the Long clan and the region of the valley completely with only Long Yuan, the old clan chief and a selected few others who knew of their departure. Throughout their journey to Gan Yu city, Long Feng was mostly silent as he was still pondering over the golden dragon Jade token while Yan jian and Li Yue'er mostly argued along the way. A few couple of hours later, Gan Yu city's large city gates was in sight with nothing having changed since they left.

The city was still as prosperous and bustling as ever with people both mortals and cultivators roaming the streets. On the way, Long Feng even saw the Fang mountain where the exalted spirit emperor, a spirit realm cultivator was buried. Long Feng and the other two had nothing to do in the city, so they headed straight for the mortal heaven sect. The mortal heaven sect was exactly as grandeur as it was before. Besides the gates, the two familiar giant statues wielding swords stood like guardians of the sect.

Long Feng easily concealed himself from all the disciples and elders in the sect and went straight into the Core court where Lord Yi Ming's palace was. When they arrived at the palace, they ran into Lord Yi Ming himself sitting outside his palace and staring blankly into the distance.

"Master!" Long Feng called out because Lord Yi Ming didn't even notice their appearance at all, lost in his own thoughts. He was actually worried, seeing Lord Yi Ming in such a state. He looked like he had lost something very important to him. Long Feng only had two masters, Wu Kong and Lord Yi Ming was his master on the soul cultivation path. Although he had now surpassed Lord Yi Ming in both martial and soul cultivation, he still respected him and wouldn't allow anything to happen to him.

"Hm?" Lord Yi Ming frowned, snapping out of his thoughts and looking to his side only to be dumbstruck.

"You…!" He looked at Long Feng as though he was looking at a ghost. He gave Li Yue'er and Yan jian who were standing there the same look.

"What happened master? Don't you recognize me again?" Long Feng asked with a smile.

"I'm really getting old, even hallucinating in broad daylight" Lord Yi Ming shook his head and sighed, then looked away as though he didn't see the trio. It was their turn to be dumbfounded.

"Master! What do you mean by hallucinating? Did something happen to you?" Long Feng immediately rushed to Lord Yi Ming's side and sat beside him, staring at him worriedly. Lord Yi Ming seemed startled by this.

"Is this really a dream? Ha! How can this be real. Feng'er died a few months ago. It's unfortunate that I as his master cannot even avenge him." Lord Yi Ming glanced at Long Feng and looked away again, leaving Long Feng confused.

"Master, what do you mean by I died? when did I die?" These words finally made Lord Yi Ming pause and stare at Long Feng seriously.

"Feng'er, Long Feng?" He asked cautiously.

"Yes it's me, master. I'm fine" Long Feng was at a loss as for whether to laugh or cry.

"It's really you? You're not dead?" Lord Yi Ming asked in disbelief.

"Of course not. When exactly did I die? I'm obviously fine" Long Feng replied. Lord Yi Ming seemed stunned.

"But how? They said you were dead. How can you still be alive?"

"Master, who said I'm dead? Besides, aren't I here right now?"

"Good! Good! That's right, you're not dead. This is the best news I've heard in months! Good!" Lord Yi Ming was instantly moved to tears as he spoke.

"Master, who said I was dead?" Long Feng asked seriously. Who would spread news that he was dead without any reason?" Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"It's those elders from the jianhai clan. They returned that day after you escaped and spread news that you had been captured and executed in the clan. I've been drowning in regrets all this while that I couldn't even avenge you. I'm so happy that you're alright!" Lord Yi Ming explained. Long Feng immediately remembered those jianhai clan elders led by someone called old man jian something who had chased after him in order to steal his origin spirit palace and sword back then.

He had escaped using a soul formation and planned to take his revenge when he returned. When he did return, he didn't even remember that group of damn old men who bullied him because they were currently too weak before him. It was beneath him to seek them out for revenge. But who knew that they returned and spread rumors about him being dead?

They did so probably because it would be embarrassing to their names and the face of the entire clan if news that he, a rank seven yin level cultivator actually fooled a group of Yang realm cultivators and escaped from them.

"Hmph! Those damn old men! I even forgot about them but they succeeded on pissing me off again. I'll definitely sweet them out when I head to the jianhai clan later!" Long Feng huffed, remembering how those group of old things had chased after him relentlessly.

"What exactly happened to you? How did you escape? and where have you been all this while?" Lord Yi Ming asked after calming down. Long Feng roughly explained how he had escaped and went to the blue sky province, entered the yin ghost forest and recently returned to the jianhai province. Lord Yi Ming was left speechless for a long moment.

Especially when he learnt that Long Feng had reached the Yang realm and was almost at the peak of the Yang realm at that, and his soul power had reached the peak of the saint soul layer, only a step away from the spirit layer. He was astounded and in disbelief. All he could bring himself to say was "Good! Good!!" Continuously. After that, he led the trio into his palace.

Long Feng spent the rest of the day and night giving Lord Yi Ming an almost detailed explanation of everything that happened after he left the jianhai province. The only parts he omitted was the part of the Firmament Sword Saint legacy part, and most of the dangers he encounter, and the golden dragon Jade token. Otherwise, he said everything, even mentioning that they had helped Li Yue'er to seal the demon entity within her dantian.

The main reason he had not mention the Firmament Sword Saint and the golden dragon Jade token was not because he didn't trust Lord Yi Ming but because he didn't want to drag Lord Yi Ming into his chain of mysteries. Long Feng spent the next three days strengthening his cultivation and advancing closer to the rank eight Yang realm Cultivation before he finally decided to visit the jianhai clan.

On the morning of the fourth day, Lord Yi Ming escorted them to the jianhai clan, after trying his best to stop them but failed. Standing a distance away from the jianhai clan's territory, Long Feng asked Lord Yi Ming to wait while they went ahead in case they ran into some dangers there. Lord Yi Ming tried once again to persuade them against going.

"You said it yourself, you have no idea how strong you are. But I can tell you for sure that your combat power would have most certainly dropped by two levels at least or even three or four. The Yang realm isn't like the yin realm where you can skip five realms, not to mention this is a spirit realm cultivator we're speaking about. I have no doubts that you might be invincible in the Yang realm but it's not within the realm of possibility for you to defeat a spirit realm cultivator.

You must reconsider your decision!" Long Feng smiled reassuringly,"Master, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Besides, I'm pretty good at running. If I end up being unable to fight, I can run."

"Yep. Lord Yi Ming, you don't know this, but your disciple has a really thick skin. He can withstand a lot of thrashing and survive it. I'm speaking from experience!" Yan jian added.

"Alright then. Run away at the slightest sign of trouble. I'll be waiting for you here" Lord Yi Ming finally sighed and accepted. Long Feng and the other two wasted no time and rushed into the jianhai clan's territory. The few patrolling disciples were easily put unconscious by Yan jian and the more powerful elders were dealt with by Li Yue'er. No one was killed along the way though.

"This is all so familiar!" Li Yue'er spoke.

"That's right. It's like were kicking the ass of a stronger Lei clan. It's incredible how powerful we have become in a few months. We wouldn't have reached this heights if we hadn't met Long Feng!" Yan jian nodded.

"You wouldn't have reached this heights. Don't use we!" Li Yue'er glanced at him and snorted. Yan jian didn't reply, or he didn't dare to. Otherwise he would risk getting beaten up if he said something wrong. He could only keep his grudge to himself since his fists was smaller than her's. But they had to admit that the jianhai clan was much stronger and more organized than the Lei clan. A few minutes after they appeared, a few dozen elders appeared and surrounded them.

Surprisingly, Long Feng was familiar with almost half of them and they were also familiar with him.

"Isn't that the kid from the mortal heaven sect who got the origin spirit palace and the origin spirit sword? How dare he return?" One of the elder who happened to be among those who went after Long Feng back then asked in confusion.

"I don't know why he's foolish enough to return but I have to thank him for returning. If I capture him, Lord clan chief will definitely reward me abundantly!" Another elder exclaimed, his eyes flashing with greed.

"That's right!" The others instantly focused.

"Kid! How dare you return after fleeing like an abandoned dog previously? Do you think our jianhai clan is a joke? Don't think of leaving since you dared to enter our territory!" The first elder bellowed as his aura surged, revealing his rank six yang realm cultivation.

"Surrender and hand over the origin spirit palace and sword and we will let you live!" Another elder also shouted. The auras of the elders spread out and filled the surroundings as they glowered coldly at Long Feng. Long Feng watch them with a cold sneer.

"With just this measly power of yours, you wish to capture me? Hmph! I remember those among you who bullied me back then. I will repay the favor right now" As he spoke, a pitch black sword light gathered at his finger tip. The Demon Sword! This was a technique he created himself by merging his demon energy with his sword energy, tripling the power of the sword. Back then in the Lei clan, he had used this technique against the Lei clan's clan chief.

The terrifying power of the strike actually surpassed the peak of the Yang realm and entered the boundary of the spirit realm. It was very close to the true power of a rank one spirit realm cultivator. Right now, he had almost perfected the technique. He only needed to use it with his sword to verify it. That was one of the reasons he wanted to fight the jianhai clan's clan chief.

"Arrogant boasting! We'll see if you can still speak once we capture you!" The first elder roared. Right before they attacked, the black sword light left Long Feng's finger tip, transforming into a long streak of light that flashed into the distance. Meanwhile, the elders all stood rooted to their spots, their backs drenched in sweat. All of a sudden, a few elders cried out in pain as one of their arms dropped to the floor each, detached from their bodies.

The elders who were unharmed sighed inwardly in relief as they sweated buckets. Earlier, they had felt the sense of death before that Sword light. If this kid had wished to kill them, none of them would be standing here. As for those who lost their arms, they were all among those who bullied Long Feng back the and chased after him released. He was now repaying the favor in the form of their hands.

"You should be lucky I went for the arms, not the head. Scram!" Long Feng spat coldly. The elders immediately bowed and fled, those with one arms cut off leaving their fallen arms behind.

"Tsk! You're quite ruthless. You cut off their hands." Yan jian spoke. Long Feng turned to him.

"Right. Next time, should I go for the dantian? Or the legs?"

"Don't worry. Just do what you want. I didn't say anything!" As they spoke, more powerful auras emerged before them. The leading aura was very powerful, belonging to a peak Yang realm cultivator. His aura was even showing signs of forming his spirit core and stepping into the spirit realm.
