(Jun POV)
Since it'll be weird for my Jian persona to visit the training grounds so I went there with my original body. Once I found who I was looking for, I see Nie Li and Ye Yan being attacked by 30 Dark Guild members.
When Jian left the City Lord mansion, I sense Ye Yan leaving the Heavenly Sacred Border due to the array controls I give him. I came to check him out and maybe help him adjust to Glory City after being away for so long. I didn't expect to see Nie Li or the Dark Guild members here. Not to mention the fact that Ye Yan hasn't reach Legend Rank like he said he will before he'll come out. He's only 5 star Black Gold rank.
Nie Li, on the other hand, managed to reached 1 star Gold rank. I'm pretty sure he's only supposed to be 5 star silver rank at this time. I guess not having the Shadow Devil and having the help of the new Sacred Border help him reach Gold rank faster.
After waiting for them both to finish beating up all the Dark Guild members, I decide it's time to greet them. "What's with all the noise at this time of the night?"
They both turn toward me ready to fight if it's an enemy.
"Jun?" Both of them said at the same time.
"Who else could I be? Anyway, Ye Yan, I thought you said you wouldn't come out until you reach Legend rank again?"
"Umm… Well…" Ye Yan looks like he's too embarrassed to answer.
"Did you lose a bet or something?" I decide to make a guess since he did lose a bet to Nie Li in the original story.
"Well…" Ye Yan looks a little uncomfortable.
"You did, didn't you?"
"Hey, it's not my fault. How could I've known the array you set up would be so easy to complete." Ye Yan complains.
"It's not. Only true genius… or someone like this guy could complete it." I point at Nie Li
"Hey! What do you mean by this guy." Nie Li complains from the side.
While we're talking, I notice two of the Dark Guild members trying to escape. I lift a hand and my fingers extend to catch them both. I created this skill by studying the Thousand Shadow Hands ability. I can't create thousands of hands like the ability but I'm able to extend my hands or fingers in this case to restrain people.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
"You should bind these guys before they try to escape." I helpfully inform them.
"We were going to do that until someone distracted us." Nie Li
"Less complaining, more binding," I said as I brought the two escapees close to me. The hoods of those guys fall off for me to find that one of the guys I capture is actually Shen Ming. So that must mean the other guy should be Deacon Yun Hua since he has the highest cultivation among the people here.
"Fancy meeting you here Shen Ming," I said as I slap a cultivation and soul suppressing inscription on them both. My inscriptions also prevent outside forces from affecting them. For example, if the Dark Guild crushes the Seal Stone that'll activate the Soul Shackles to kill Yun Hua, he won't be affected until my array is taken off.
"Long Jun?" Shen Ming asks confused. Since I'm quite famous, it's not weird that he'll recognize me.
"Yes, it's me. Now go to sleep." I punch him in the face hard enough to knock him out. "You too." I also knockout Yun Hua.
I look up to see Nie Li and Ye Yan already finished capturing all the Dark Guild members that are not dead.
"So, Mr. Glory City founder, what did you bet on with Nie Li and how did you lose?" I ask Ye Yan who all of a sudden found the sky to be very interesting.
"He thought I couldn't reach the middle of the arrays and we made a bet on it. I did so now he has to bring me to the Snow Wind family treasury to pick a treasure or two." Nie Li answer in his stead.
"Oh, it's only that? And here I thought you went and made yourself into a servant."
"Of course not! I'm not that stupid, I only lost because you made the arrays too easy." Ye Yan complain
"Hehe, not that stupid." I sneer
"What's with that look?" Ye Yan
"Nothing. Besides, I already told you that only true genius… or this guy will be able to complete it." I remind him.
"Hey! What do you mean by this guy." Nie Li complain again.
"You know what I mean, Master already told me about your situation."
Nie Li frown
"You don't have to make such a face, only master and I know about it," I said. Nie Li's frown disappears like it was never there.
"What are you two talking about?" Ye Yan
"Nothing important. So what are you going to do now that you're out of the Heavenly Sacred Border?" I ask Ye Yan to change the topic.
"What am I going to do?... I didn't think about that… I guess I'll introduce myself to the Snow WInd family again and help them fight off this Dark Guild that been targeting my city." Ye Yan
"Great plan, just make sure not to scare your descendent to death. Here," I throw Shen Ming and Yun Hua into the piles of bodies that they capture. "I'll leave it to you to deal with them since you are the one that beat them up."
I left afterward, not waiting for them. I was here to help Ye Yan get used to Glory City after a long time of absent but since he already knows what he's going to do, I decide to just leave.
Hmm… I wonder if I should tell Ziyun about Ye Yan or leave it as a surprise for her to find out… I guess I'll decide when I see her again.
