Chapter 47 Hostile Grand Elder! New Task
47 Hostile Grand Elder! New Task
Long Ming felt his stomach churning when he saw that message. " Body fluid? What the fuck you fed me, you bastard!"
[ Constellation Demon Lord of Lust is snorting. He is saying that people will flow a river of blood just to get a strand of his hair, and yet, you are disrespecting him like this]
[ Although his cum would have been more potent, he gave you some of his blood. It might be even beneficial to your Fragrant Blossoms of Endless Spring Art]
[ Ding! Constellation Harem King of Nine World approves the statement somewhat]
Long Ming turned speechless when he heard that. ' Should I be thankful that he didn't give me his white blood?'
But Long Ming could feel a strange fragrance through his body. It was even enhanced by his Fragrant Yin Qi that was circulating through his body. He felt his blood and vigor were much more vibrant than before.
After adjusting his thoughts, he looked at the Raging Storm Wings. When he clicked on that, he saw two metallic silver wings erupt from his back. The wings gave a luster of dark mercury as he could hear the howling winds in them.
[ Raging Storm Wings: 1st use: Capability of flight and instantaneous movement! It can even shoot out powerful and sharp winds! 2nd Ability (Sealed), 3rd Ability( Sealed)]
[ Host need to achieve certain conditions to unseal the seals of Raging Storm Wings]
Long Ming felt like the wings were actually a part of his body. Calming his mind, Long Ming's Raging Storm Wings flapped as he soared to the sky with a blast of wind.
" HAHAHAHA! IT'S SO FUN!"
Long Ming's laughter echoed through the sky as he flew across the Solitary Flower Peak. He could feel the clouds brushing past his face as he flew across the sky. He could feel what it meant to be free as a bird.
Long Ming finally descended as he looked at the corpse of the assassin. He picked it up as he streaked through the sky.
' Hah, To think I can even make my winds disappear. What a nice feature.' Long Ming chuckled as he landed before the Desolate Winter Palace, which was the abode of Xia Yuqing.
When Long Ming landed before her abode, several women came forward as they pulled out their weapons and pointed at Long Ming.
However, When Long Ming took out his jade token, all of them bowed before him as they gave way. However, before Long Ming could enter, he suddenly heard Xia Yuqing's voice in his heart.
" Come to the Four Season Palace. The meeting of elders is happening at that place."
The Four Seasons Palace was the main hall of the Four Seasons Valley. Hearing there was a meeting happening, Long Ming nodded as he went there directly.
When he entered the Four Seasons Palace, Long Ming felt like he entered the depth of the ocean. On both sides, many elders sat as they looked at Long Ming.
Their gazes are enough to make Long Ming feel pressurized. However, Long Ming appeared to be calm as he walked inside and stood in the middle.
" Disciple Long Ming greets Master."
Xia Yuqing sat on the highest seat as she nodded. " Rise. We are just talking about you."
" Sect Master, No matter what, Taking a True Disciple so suddenly? Not to mention he is a male and an outsider." An elder stood up as she spoke.
Long Ming saw Meng Zhi, Elder Cai, and Elder Li were also there. Although the majority of the elders were women, Long Ming noticed three male elders also.
However, one middle aged woman who was sitting quite near Xia Yuqing glanced at him with utmost hostility. Long Ming noticed that but kept his eyes lowered.
" Well, Many of you are asking why I made him True Disciple. It's because of his cultivation of talent and comprehension. Not only that, he managed to help our Eternal Spring Tower to win the Flower Boat festival and managed to rip off a big chunk from Blissful Heaven Temple."
" Also, Don't forget he is the one who managed to achieve the Four Seasons Phenomenon and comprehended the profundity of the ancestral stone tablet."
Xia Yuqing looked at everyone and then, looked at Long Ming. " In a way, he got the blessings of our ancestors. Therefore, I made him the True Disciple."
" Cultivation Talent?" Elder Li stood up as she snorted lightly. " Sect Master, I personally saw. That brat's True Qi affinity is complete trash. It's the worse talent I've ever seen."
Xia Yuqing looked at Elder Li her face was calm as ever. " If that's the case, Then how did he manage to defeat our Core Disciple?"
Elder Li was startled when she heard Xia Yuqing. In fact, she didn't have any answers for that.
" Then, What is current cultivation?"
Long Ming raised his head as he saw that the hostile woman finally spoke. Xia Yuqing looked at her as she remained silent. " Well, Grand Elder, Shouldn't that be clear with his last duel?"
" But then, Why he is keeping his cultivation hidden here?" Grand Elder's tone turned low. " Are you trying to hide something from us?"
Long Ming bowed as he started to speak ." First of all, Greetings to Grand Elder."
" The reason I am keeping my cultivation hidden is the same as keeping a hidden ace." Long Ming smiled. " Don't you think, the less enemies know about my skills, the better it is?"
" Are you doubting us?" Grand Elder's eyes narrowed. " How bold!"
Long Ming shook his head. " I am not doubting you, Grand Elder. However, Last night, Something happened that made me feel this way."
Long Ming waved his hands as a corpse appeared before the elders. Everyone's eyes widened when they saw that body.
" This… This is an Inner Disciple?"
Long Ming cupped his fist. " She came to my Solitary Flower Peak and tried to poison me. However, I managed to kill her before he could succeed. My maid Xiao'er is a witness."
" She showed me a token and told me that the food was given by the elders. However, the food and wine are clearly poisoned." He took the jar of poisoned wine and placed it on the ground.
Xia Yuqing's eyes narrowed as her face turned cold. " Really? Someone tried to assassinate my disciple inside my sect?"
An elder came down as she took the wine jar and dipped a silver needle in it.
" This is… This is Seven Cloud Posion! It's simply colorless and detecting it is very hard." The elder explained. " Not to mention…This girl… She is wearing a skin mask."
She held the face of that corpse as she peeled out a skin mask. Beneath it, a middle aged woman appeared.
Long Ming felt a shiver when he saw that face. ' Fuck! That granny was calling me Senior Brother? And even I called her junior sister? What the fuck!'
" This skin mask is made with very precious materials. Detecting this is pretty hard even for Harmonization stage Elders. No wonder she managed to stay within the sect without getting caught."
" Audacious! Those Blissful Heaven Temple bastards gone too far!" Xia Yuqing slapped on her chair as she snorted.
Meng Zhi stood up as she bowed. " Sect Master, You can see that Long Ming already got attacked twice. So, being the True Disciple is the same as giving him protection."
Grand Elder looked at Meng Zhi as she spoke lightly, " En, How rare it is to see you praise someone, Meng Zhi. Has this brat bribed you?"
" Rather than bribe, He helped me and the Eternal Spring Tower very much." Meng Zhi chuckled as she gave a wink to Long Ming.
Before Xia Yuqing could say anything, the Grand Elder stood up. " No matter what, True Disciple is a sensitive position. Since he already became the True Disciple, he also needs to fulfill the duties of a True Disciple."
" How about we give him the task to retrieve the Western Port of Black Pearl City?"
" Grand Elder, That task…It's too dangerous!" Meng Zhi stood up as she opposed. " That's not something a mere disciple can do!"
" Mere?" Grand Elder smiled. " Don't forget, He is the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley. I am sure he will be able to find his way."
Saying that Grand Elder vanished. The hall turned silent as Long Ming sighed.
' That old hag, Why the hell she is making things difficult for me?' Long Ming cursed in his heart. However, his calm ad refined appearance didn't change at all.
" Long Ming, Come with me."
Hearing Xia Yuqing, Long Ming nodded. Soon, he followed her back to the Desolate Winter Palace.
" That attack, It looks like they infiltrated in Four Seasons Valley, huh?" Xia Yuqing gave an amused smile. " However, Thanks to you, they got lured out before they could do something big."
" And, Now I have the reason to make my move and search throughout the sect."
Long Ming only heard but remained silent. He couldn't understand what is Xia Yuqing is thinking.
" Are you hurt?"
" Not really?"
" Black Pearl City was once under the Four Seasons Valley. However, Now, It is running independently. Since it's connected to Westward Bay, it's one of the best place of business."
" However, recently, the Lan Family, which controls the Black Pearl city, is opposing the business of Four Seasons Valley's mining of Deep Sea Iron. Three envoys of Four Seasons Valley already died mysertiously there." Xia Yuqing's voice turned low.
" Why Grand Elder is hostile to me? Is it because I became the True Disciple?" Long Ming asked.
Xia Yuqing's face became complicated as she sighed. " It's not your fault, It's mine. I guess she wasn't able to let go of that grudge."
Long Minf pondered as he cupped his fist. " Before going to Black Pearl City, I will gather some information. I will try my best to fulfill this mission."
" Hmm, And here I thought you would rather sit back in sect and play with the female disciples. Was I wrong?"
Long Ming gave a forced smile when he heard that. He planned exactly that, but the Grand Elder messed everything.
To consolidate his position, he need to gain the support of majority. Not to mention, such mission was pretty good chance for him to raise his reputation.
" But, before you go, I need to teach you something." Xia Yuqing turned around as she broke a branch from a nearby tree.
*Meanwhile*
" Huh? Long Ming isn't here?"
Xiao'er bowed before Mu Qinglian as she shook her head. " Young Master went to meet the Sect Master. I think he might be there, Saintess Mu."
" Alrigh-"
Mu Qinglian's voice got cut in midway when she looked at Xiao'er carefully. The ways he walked and the aura around her…It felt something different.
" Uhm…Xiao'er, Why are you walking like that?"
" Ahh! No-Nothing happened! Haha, Nothing really." Xiao'er face turned crimson as she rushed back into the manor.
Looking around the courtyard, Mu Qinglian gritted her teeth.
" They…They did it…"
