Soaring Dragon Continent, Sky Serpent School
Gan Fang and Qiu Zhen took six days to arrive at the Sky Serpent School. The first thing Gan Fang did when he returned was go find martial skills that used a staff. He needed to find and master some martial skills for staves because all he knew were sword skills.
Parting ways Qiu Zhen decided to pay Li Haun a visit. He needed cultivation pills and so did she. He had a thought that he could use her to help him gather herbs, if she did well enough he might reward her. As he was walking towards her house he noticed that there were tons of disciples whispering among themselves. Usually he wouldn’t pay this any attention but the number of disciples doing this was numerous.
Finally he arrived at Li Hauns house. He didn’t even bother knocking on the door because she wouldn’t answer it anyways. He opened it and found her meditating as usual. “Hey, anything happen while I was gone?”
Qiu Zhen asked because he wanted to know if something amazing happened since everyone was whispering. He sighed, talking to Li Haun was the wrong choice. “Yup, just ignore me.” Qiu Zhen said as he walked out of her home. He went to the place where the pebbles were before. Strangely they were gone, and he laughed inwardly.
Qiu Zhen shrugged his shoulders as he went back inside. If he couldn’t find a pebble he would just have to do this another way. He stood above Li Haun who was meditating and infused his finger with some qi. Next he flicked it causing it to tump her forehead.
Before it hit Li Haun opened her eyes, and instead of her it hit a barrier. Qiu Zhen was shocked momentarily, he didn’t think she knew a barrier skill. “Oh, it seems you’ve gotten better since last time. Well, let’s not do this, i’m not in the mood to anyways.”
Li Haun glared at Qiu Zhen, “What do you want?”
“Right, you go find us some medical herbs. If you gather enough then I might reward you with some pills, if not then your cultivation speed will slow down.”
“Don’t compare me to you. My cultivation speed will never slow down… however I could use some pills.” Li Haun said as she took a ring out of her robe.
Instantly tons of medical herbs were produced, it was enough to make Qiu Zhen drool. “Where did you get these!? I could have been on another level if you just handed these over before.”
Li Haun grinned, it seems Qiu Zhen finally found her true worth. However it was only a part, she still had her own secrets. “Ok, make the pills.” She demanded.
Qiu Zhen glared at her, she was telling him to make the pills. He shook his head, while he hurriedly grabbed a few herbs and put them in his pocket. “I’ll take these as pay for protecting you. As I said before you can make your own pills.” Qiu Zhen then began to walk out of the house.
“Liar! How can you just tell a lie and walk away!?” Li Haun yelled at him.
Qiu Zhen turned his head. “I said I might reward you. You do have a lot of herbs but that attitude… learn to speak to others first then maybe you’ll have something done for you.”
Li Haun sighed and gathered up the herbs once again. Afterwords she closed her eyes and started meditating. Qiu Zhen started to leave but Li Haun said something. She said that Hu Jun was looking for him after he left. He nodded his head as he left her house.
Qiu Zhen headed back to his place because he didn’t know where Hu Jun stayed. He only just found out that she was an inner disciple a few weeks ago. Along the way people were still whispering so Qiu Zhen decided to confront one of them to find out why.
He went to a group of males that were chatting. The group was only made of five, and each one had a cultivation at the fourth Dao realm. Seeing Qiu Zhen approach made them fearful they had seen what he did to Ye Fa.
“Tell me, why is everyone whispering?” Qiu Zhen spoke.
“I-it has to do with Ye Che. He is getting married….” One of the males spoke in a fearful tone.
“So why are you all whispering? Is she ugly or something?” Qiu Zhen said while trying to make the mood lighter.
The five males shook their head. “No, she's actually beautiful. In fact Ye Che said you knew her. Before he left he told everyone if you were to return to tell you he had your lover.”
Lover? Qiu Zhen was confused, he didn’t court any girls, so how could he even have a lover. He thought about Li Haun since that was the only female he actually talked to a lot, but she was still at her house. Hu Jun was out of the list considering he only found her in the forest a few weeks ago. Lien Meili? No, he hasn’t contacted her since he came here. Qiu Zhen could not figure out who his ‘lover’ was.
“Speak, who is my lover?” Qiu Zhen asked the group.
The group of boys looked at Qiu Zhen weirdly. How could he not know who his own lover was. Could he be playing them like fools? They didn’t know if he was asking a rhetorical question or if he was being serious.
Seeing that the group of males weren’t speaking Qiu Zhen started getting angry. “Speak! Do you have cut tongues that hold you back?”
“Hu Jun!” One male yelled fearing for his life.
‘Hu Jun? Shes not my lover, and why would Ye Che even think that.’ Qiu Zhen quietly said to himself.
“Well then, when he returns give him my congratulations.” Qiu Zhen said while walking away. If Hu Jun went with Ye Che then she went willinging, it’s not like she was forced to do it. He had a slight doubt that she would marry that guy, but anything was possible.
Seeing Qiu Zhen walk away the group of males had a sigh of relief. One male had the courage to speak up about it. “You aren’t going to stop the marriage? If I were you I would stop it, why let your lover be tamed by another male.”
Qiu Zhen turned around. “It’s not like she was force right? Then it doesn’t concern me?”
“Force? If I had to say she had no choice in the matter. Her clan brought her away to marry him, even against her own will. Everyone knows this, do you have cows for brains?”
“So her clan set up the marriage, it happens. The Ye clan is no exception.” Qiu Zhen explained to the man.
“I see, you just let anyone take your lover. Next it’ll be Li Haun whose under him getting plowed.” The man said as he walked away.
‘Well, it’s true I don’t like Ye Che and he did give me an invitations. Maybe I could settle all of this at once.’ Qiu Zhen thought to himself as he headed towards Fang Wei’s house.
Originally he was going back home but now he wanted to ask his master a question. This was due to him thinking about the marriage over and over again. If he asked himself if Hu Jun was fit for him, he would say no. However he couldn’t just let her marry someone she didn’t like.. could he? Just thinking about it over and over again made Qiu Zhen’s head hurt.
Arriving at his master's house Qiu Zhen opened the door. Usually Fang Wei is meditating however Qiu Zhen found him chatting with someone. Fang Wei seeing Qiu Zhen come unannounced as always ignored him. The person he was talking to happened to be a female elder. She noticed Qiu Zhen walk in and her face showed that she was disappointed.
“May we continue this next time Elder Wei.” She said before she turned and left.
Qiu Zhen walked past her and slightly grinned. After she left Fang Wei shot a glare at Qiu Zhen before he sat down. “Master, you aren’t mad right? I mean it’s only one woman, more will come!”
Fang Wei shook his head. He doesn’t understand what Qiu Zhen thought was happen but he couldn’t be further from the truth. “What are you thinking? She was only asking if she could have Li Haun as her disciple.”
“Master, you don’t have to lie. That woman has eyes for you. Are you getting so old that your eyesight is failing you?”
“Whatever. What brings you here? I was hopin… I thought you weren’t going to be back for a while.”
Qiu Zhen nodded as he sat down. He then began to explain his troubles with Hu Jun and Ye Che. Fang Wei listened, but afterwards he rolled his eyes.
“How good is it to be young. Back in my day all the women wanted m-”
Fang Wei was going to continue but Qiu Zhen interrupted. “Master, this is your time to tell this disciple what he should do. Yet you are trying to tell me your backstory, it seems i’ve picked the wrong person to be a disciple of.”
“R-right… why don’t we pay a visit to the Ye clan? I’m sure you’ll be able to gain all your answers there.”
“Right! We can crash their little wedding and you can gain the respect and women you really need.” Qiu Zhen joked, however it seemed like he was also serious.
“....” Fang Wei didn’t say anything to answer Qiu Zhen. He truly didn’t know what to do with him. The longer he talked to Qiu Zhen, the longer it seemed he found himself getting a headache. Fang Wei got up and floated towards the door, followed by Qiu Zhen.
“Wait, did you get my sword? I can’t go there without a weapon.”
“You make it seem like you are going to start something. We are only trying to find out answers.” Fang Wei replied.
--------
Journeying with Fang Wei made their arrival much more faster than if Qiu Zhen traveled by himself. A Paragon could travel fifty times faster than Qiu Zhen, so the time needed for them to reach the Ye clan was actually pretty short. It only took them four days time without resting much.
The clan was huge, there were tons of people around. The number of people at the Dao realm were numerous however they were all in their late twenties or early thirties. Being at the eight Dao realm Qiu Zhen could sense Mystical realm cultivators, however he found the number of them were less than half the number of Dao realm cultivators.
When the members of the Ye clan noticed Fang Wei and Qiu Zhen approach they were on guard. Why would someone from the Sky Serpent School just randomly appear in the clan?
Fang Wei himself didn’t bother with the eyes looking at him, he continued to float towards the main part of the Ye Clan.
The Ye clan was divided into three parts, and you could clearly tell where the main members were located. The right part of the clan had houses that were numerous and looked great, but it could not compare to the left side. The left side made it seem like each house was as big as a castle. While walking deeper into the clan there were tons of martial skill buildings and cultivation towers. The Ye clan truly was worthy of being a top clan.
The middle part of the clan had five buildings only, but each one would cost a normal cultivator a ton of money. There was this building that stood out among the rest - it was as tall as a tower and glistened. The four buildings surrounding it were huge, it was even bigger than Fang Wei’s house. This is to be expected considering the Ye clan is also very wealthy.
The center is where Fang Wei and Qiu Zhen were headed. If a marriage was happening any time soon then it would take place at the big tower like building.
“Remember do not act up. We are only here for answers.” Fang Wei reminded Qiu Zhen. Qiu Zhen only slightly nodded his head.
‘Hpmh! We’ll just kill Ye Che and leave, now that Fang Wei is here I doubt they would kill him. If they do… then i’m fucked.’ Qiu Zhen thought to himself as he was piecing together his master plan - which seemed flawed.
They both went into the tower like building. On the outside guards were placed but when Fang Wei introduced himself and said he was here to see the clan master they let him in. Why wouldn’t they? He was an elder of a first rate school, and it was the school a few of their members went to.
Inside it was filled with maids along with guards placed to the side. There was this long path that led straight to a seat that looked similar to a throne. In front of the throne were Ye Che and Hu Jun. On Hu Jun’s side were two older men that seemed like they would die from old age. On the throne was a middle aged man with black hair along with a scar that ran over his left eye.
Seeing Qiu Zhen and Fang Wei appear the man frowned. Today was a good day, and now someone was interrupting. He raised his hands and the talking that Ye Che was doing stopped. They looked back only to see Fang Wei and Qiu Zhen walking towards them.
The middle aged man looked at Fang Wei. “Elder, what are you doing here?”
“Right, this disciple of mines wants to know why you’re marrying his friend off?” Fang Wei got straight to the point, he didn’t want to dodge the question.
The middle aged man laughed as he glanced at the two males by Hu Jun’s side. “Ask these two that. I’m not the one who owes someone they can’t pay.”
The two men turned their head, they didn’t think the clan master of the Ye clan would actually tell someone that. It’s true that they suddenly fell into debt. The Ye clan gave them a little support soon after, which they were grateful for. This help came at the cost of a marriage. The Ye clan said the name of the female they wanted, but the Hu clan didn’t understand why her.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
They had a decision to make. Either marry off Hu Jun and settle things peacefully, or fight with the Ye clan. They surely weren’t stupid enough to pick the latter, so they were left with one option. Therefore they agreed to the Ye clans terms to marry Hu Jun, it’s not like she was going to inherit the clan. The clan praised her for her cultivation and she was one of the genius’ among the clan, so she had a high status. For them to go to war over one person was not something they would do unless it was the clan’s heir.
Qiu Zhen looked at the two older men and his face was dark. “Care to explain?”
The two older men did not like Qiu Zhen’s tone. A person who could only be considered a child was talking to them like he was their equal. Does he not understand his own position?
“We don’t have to explain anything to a brat such as you.” One of the elders spoke, his tone clearly signified that he was angry.
Fang Wei took over and asked the same question as Qiu Zhen. “Then will you explain it to me?” Fang Wei slightly smiled as he asked that question.
“Right… simply put the Ye clan asked for her hand in marriage and we agreed. That is all.”
“Do you not care for her own wishes? You will let her marry that shit! I mean look at him, one look and it’ll make you want to picked your eyes out. His cultivation is also shit, and the members of this whole clan creates one big pile of shit. If you ask me this whole clan shouldn’t even exist in the first place!” Qiu Zhen said while pointing at the members of the Ye clan.
Ye Che glared at Qiu Zhen, he couldn’t believe his ears. He had countless women coming up to him begging for him to take them. Now Qiu Zhen is saying he is so ugly you can’t even stand to take one glance at him. Not only that he is disrespecting his clan.
“You arrogant fuck! You think you are mighty because you cut off Ye Chen’s arm or killed Ye Fa! You can’t compare me to those garbage. If you have the guts to yap your mouth off why don’t you show action!?” Ye Che replied.
Fang Wei was shocked, he didn’t even have time to stop Qiu Zhen. He clearly told him they were only here to find out answers and yet he goes and disrespects the clan. If they even let Qiu Zhen leave in pieces he should be grateful.
The Clan head of the Ye clan lightly laughed. “If he has balls let him face Ye Che. Since he said that the clan is shit that only means that he has the strength to back it up. This is something I would love to see.”
Ye Che’s father only say Qiu Zhen at the third Dao realm while his son was at the early Mystic realm. What would he fear by letting them fight?
“He was only joking, you can’t take this brat serious. Trust me, i’ve been joked with a lot more than this.” Fang Wei said while trying to calm the situation down.
“Don’t stop me master! His head is mines!” Qiu Zhen opened the first eye bringing his cultivation to the peak of the Dao realm. He took out the Asura Demon Blade and pointed it at Ye Che.
“Come, since you are so brave let’s see who lives.” Qiu Zhen’s tone was cold and it made the maids in the building shiver. Such a young male who is not even grown already has the fierceness that could match an army.
Ye Che took out his blue saber and dashed at Qiu Zhen. “Die you fucking trash!”
Qiu Zhen took off as well, he clearly knew that with the Demon Asura Blade alone he could kill Ye Che. This blade naturally had demon sword qi in it, and he felt it could easily behead a cultivator at the Mystical realm or below in one chop.
Boom!
They both collided. Qiu Zhen’s sword didn’t even touch Ye Che’s, it moved so fast that Ye Che couldn’t even see it. The Asura Demon Blade cut through Ye Che’s neck like it was slicing a butter. After it went through his head a black arc emerged from the blade and hit one of the pillars in the room causing it to break.
“Damnit! You killed my son!?” The clan master yelled at Qiu Zhen.
Qiu Zhen’s cold eyes glared at the clan master. “You told us to fight so we fought! I killed him because he needed to die! He would have done the same if he could have, but he couldn’t. Now you get angry when he dies, let me see how angry you can get!”
Did Qiu Zhen even understand he was talking to a man at the Paragon realm? If a person could give Qiu Zhen a title, it would probably be ‘Man who knows no bounds’. Qiu Zhen
Ye Che’s father pulled out a long sword as he glared at Qiu Zhen. The blade then started sparking, lightning coiled around it. He darted at Qiu Zhen with his killing intent rising. Nothing would stop him from murdering Qiu Zhen, nothing.
“You can’t do that. He is my disciple and his position in the Sky Serpent School is high. If you kill him the whole school would attack this place.” Fang Wei spoke as he intercepted the clan head.
“Your disciple? I give no shit whose disciple he is. Sky Serpent School? Come, I will fight it to the death!” The clan head spoke.
Boom!
Fang Wei’s paragon grade spear collided with the clan masters long sword. Neither side budged much, they were clearly even.
The two old men at the side were shocked, they didn’t think that this would happen. Today they came to marry off Hu Jun, but suddenly the person she was going to marry died. Doesn’t this mean she is off the hook?
“Guards! Kill that fucker!” The clan master yelled.
Instantly the guards who were shocked at the side ran over to Qiu Zhen. There were forty of them, each one had the cultivation at the Mystica realm. Qiu Zhen didn’t have any way to escape, behind him was an angered father and in front of him was a group of Mystic realm cultivators.
‘Lets test this technique!’ Qiu Zhen thought. While the eye was opened he knew the move of the dragon of chaos and destruction. He didn’t have to cultivate it, it was as if his body already knew what to do.
“Slaughter: King’s Fatal Blow”
Qiu Zhen’s body dashed forward swinging his sword horizontal. Behind him was a black shadow, the shadow turned into an army of men with swords and spears. They charged right behind Qiu Zhen as if they were following a King on to his last battle. Above Qiu Zhen was a man in armor his figure was twice as big as Qiu Zhen’s but he looked fierce. Everything behind Qiu Zhen was black, even the people following him. The only thing that wasn’t where their eyes. Qiu Zhen’s eyes looked like that of a dragons, but the men behind him eyes were red. Just viewing this scene made the guards shake, but they felt their feet stuck to the ground.
BOOOOOMMM!!
Qiu Zhen and his army clashed against the forty guards. The guards were cut in half, and Qiu Zhen was at the back of them kneeling. His coughed out a mouthful of blood while his eyes started to bleed.
Insane! Impossible! The maids and even the clan master couldn’t believe their eyes. In one move Qiu Zhen killed forty guards each one at the Mystic realm. The clan master could not allow him to escape, if he did he could kiss his clan goodbye. “Maids, get him!”
The maids were frozen still. Not one person moved, just looking at Qiu Zhen’s eyes caused them to fear him.
Fang Wei took this chance to use his technique. “Twin Viper!”
Fang Wei’s body split into two as he moved like a snake towards the clan master. No, that was a mistake, instead one went to collide with the clan master and the other went after Hu Jun.
Fang Wei grabbed Hu Jun and darted back standing beside Qiu Zhen. “Let’s call us even ok? I doubt your Ye clan has the personal to fight our school, so this matter is now settled.
As for your Hu Clan, she’ll come back another time. However I doubt you will escape considering what has happened.”
After speaking Fang Wei grabbed Qiu Zhen and dashed out of the building. He couldn’t believe what just happened. Not only did Qiu Zhen disrespect the Ye Clan, he murdered the clan masters son, and killed forty of his guards. Fang Wei couldn’t believe that Qiu Zhen had the strength to kill someone at the Mystical realm, but now was not the time to find out answers.
Glancing at Qiu Zhen in his arms he found Qiu Zhen to be unconscious. ‘I guess whatever you used took a toll on your body.’
-------
Finally back at the school Fang Wei felt everything to be safe. Qiu Zhen just woke up not to long ago. He spent close to four days unconscious, and only woke up right before they made it back to the school. Fang Wei felt like asking him about that martial skill he used, but he decided not to. There was no need to ask, a cultivator should not show all their cards until the end.
After returning the first thing Fang Wei did was take both of them to meet the headmaster. He had to explain to him what happened so they could be on guard against the Ye clan. When the headmaster heard of what Qiu Zhen did he actually wasn’t upset but showered him with praise.
Qiu Zhen was then made a core disciple. If he could match those at the Mystic realm then why not make him one?
After the meeting with the headmaster Hu Jun asked why Qiu Zhen decided to come stop the wedding. Qiu Zhen didn’t really have an answer to her question. He mostly did it to settle everything with Ye Che. If he had the power he would have murdered the whole clan, but he didn’t. Qiu Zhen only lightly smiled before he left her standing there.
The time remaining until the tournament was getting shorter. Qiu Zhen himself knew that he had to become even stronger before it started. He paid a visit to the cultivation tower and found a room. He sat down and watched the door close. He had six months left until the tournament so he had to use them wisely. It was time for closed doors training.
