Free Web NovelChapter 300: Trouble
Xu Cheng brought out a luxurious 50 feet large sedan chair.
Every inch of the sedan chair exuded a sense of grandeur. Ornate filigree, fashioned from glistening gold, enveloped its structure, catching the eye with its intricate patterns and shimmering brilliance.
Jade pillars, delicately carved with intricate designs, formed a secure network of support, elevating the sedan chair from the earthly ground. Enveloped in a mystical glow, the sedan chair shone with a sense of security and imperialism.
Xu Yun arrogantly boarded the sedan chair and entered its plush confines.
As the door to the sedan chair opened, Tang Yin got a glimpse of its interior. Plush velvet cushions, embroidered with enchanting depictions of mythical creatures, cradling their body, offering respite from the demands of their arduous journey.
’So pompous and luxurious. She really is a spoilt brat.’ Tang Yin thought to himself speechlessly.
"The Celestial Moon Chariot is engraved with numerous powerful Array Formations, which allows it to block multiple attacks from a Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator." Xu Cheng explained briefly.
Tang Yin, Elder Liang and Elder Zi were not allowed to enter the Celestial Moon Chariot. Elder Liang stood at the forefront of the chariot, Elder Zi stood to the left and Tang Yin stood on its right. This was their duty as guards.
After bidding farewell to Xu Cheng, Tang Yin and the rest left the Moonlit River Sect.
As the Celestial Moon Chariot gracefully glided through the heavens, silk curtains, adorned with divine motifs, fluttered in the wind. The diaphanous drapes parted to reveal Xu Yun’s beautiful face, she could view the Moon Gazing Region through the gap between the drapes. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Tang Yin and the other 2 cultivators spread out their divine senses to a range of 300 kilometres. Nothing below the Law Domain Realm could escape their grasp.
Tang Yin and the rest were able to cross 2 Regions without any problems before encountering a problem. freēwebnovel.com
"There is a Low-tier Rank 7 Demonic Beast up ahead. Who wants to deal with it?" Elder Liang looked at Elder Zi and Tang Yin.
Tang Yin did not want to volunteer, he wanted to keep his abilities hidden for now. Seeing Tang Yin’s silence, Elder Zi volunteered.
A few moments after Elder Zi flew ahead, rumbling thunderclaps and loud explosions echoed constantly. Tang Yin and Elder Liang kept their divine senses on Elder Zi to guard against any ambushes. They saw the entire battle.
It took 10 minutes before Elder Zi was able to injure the Low-tier Rank 7 Demonic Beast enough for it to flee. Their goal was not to kill it, only to stop it from hindering their travels.
After Elder Zi returned, the group carried on with their journey.
After entering the next Region, they encountered a group of Rank 6 Demonic Beasts. Elder Liang looked towards Tang Yin, his meaning clear. ’Elder Zi dealt with the last problem, you deal with this one.’
Tang Yin did not object. He could easily deal with a group of Rank 6 Demonic Beasts without revealing his true power, which was exactly what he did. He utilized the Ethereal Slaughter Art and numerous Soul Needles to dispose of the group of Rank 6 Demonic Beasts.
Elder Liang and Elder Zi did not think much of this. Every cultivator had their own methods and techniques, and what Tang Yin displayed was nothing too outstanding for a Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator.
Without even reaching the next Region, the group encountered another Rank 7 Demonic Beast. Since it was of the Low-tier, Elder Zi dealt with it. He did it in a similar manner to what he had done before.
The group then peacefully crossed the next 2 Regions only encountering a single Rank 7 Demonic Beast which Tang Yin dealt with without exposing his real power.
The real trouble came in the next Region.
As the Celestial Moon Chariot tore through the air with Tang Yin, Elder Liang and Elder Zi by its side, a group of black-cloaked people suddenly appeared in front of them.
The Celestial Moon Chariot was forced to come to a halt. As it did so, another 3 groups of black-cloaked people surrounded the right, left and rear of the Celestial Moon Chariot.
The Celestial Moon Chariot was now surrounded from all sides. From what Tang Yin could see, there were 16 people in total.
2 Late-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivators, 2 Early-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivators, 6 Principle Comprehension Realm cultivators and 6 Spirit Ascension Realm cultivators.
Tang Yin, Elder Liang and Elder Zi were completely outclassed. At most, they could deal with the 2 Late-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivators by utilizing their full powers, if Tang Yin did not reveal his full power.
’I knew it. Even with an extra guard, there’s still not enough manpower.’ Elder Liang thought to himself with burning fury.
Even for a Law Domain Realm cultivator, dispatching 2 Late-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivators at the same time was a really difficult decision to make. After all, it was akin to sending their entire force and all their subordinates on one mission.
This would leave their sects and important strategic locations unmanned, rife for enemies to siege. Although Xing Tao’s enmity with Qian Zhong was deep, it was not deep enough to send virtually all his subordinates to kidnap his granddaughter.
’Something about this is fishy. There must be more to this than just getting revenge or leverage over father. Does Yun’er possess something special that Xing Tao would place so much importance on her?’ Elder Liang speculated. However, he did not have time to continue his deductions as the black-cloaked people made their move.
Tang Yin was completely oblivious to all the underlying schemes. However, he was intelligent enough to tell that something wasn’t right. ’If Xing Tao were to send this many people after Xu Yun under normal circumstances, Xu Cheng should’ve sent more guards with her.’
"Elder Liang, I can hold back one of the Late-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivators for a while but be quick!" Tang Yin shouted before rushing towards the Late-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator at the rear of the Celestial Moon Chariot.
He could kill the Late-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator if he utilized one of his trump cards. However, he did not want to expose his strength until the situation escalated.
The Late-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator had heard Tang Yin. He was not surprised to see Tang Yin charge towards him. Instead, he charged far away into the clouds, creating an isolated place for battle.
Tang Yin followed suit. As for what happened to Xu Yun, that would depend on Elder Liang and Elder Zi. He was already doing more than enough by holding back a Late-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator.
Far away from the Celestial Moon Chariot, the Late-stage Principle Manipulation Realm cultivator stopped somewhere in the clouds. Tang Yin stopped a hundred metres away from him.
"How may I address Fellow Cultivator?" The black-cloaked person asked Tang Yin in a sinister voice.
"You tell me your name first." Tang Yin demanded instead.
"Sure, since you’re about to die, I don’t mind telling you the name of the person who killed you. My name is Chen Piu. Is it really worth it to die for that old fogey Qian Zhong? Why not join Master Xing Tao instead?"
"Master Xing Tao can offer you all the wealth you can dream of, all the beauties you want will be yours. Even cultivation resources..." Before Chen Piu could continue, he was coldly cut off by Tang Yin.
"Are you done? I’m getting quite bored by your bullshit." Tang Yin leered Chen Piu.
Chen Piu was really angry at Tang Yin’s words. It was akin to a slap in the face to him. He was so angry that he completely forgot to ask for Tang Yin’s name again.
"Very well. Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, don’t blame for not giving you a way out later." Chen Piu laughed loudly, his burning anger was clearly portrayed in his voice.
Tang Yin merely stood on the spot, waiting for Chen Piu to attack first. His goal was to make things as lengthy as possible. The more Chen Piu messed about, the more time he could buy for Elder Liang and Elder Zi.
After seeing no response from Tang Yin, Chen Piu grew even angrier.
"Blizzard!" As soon as Chen Piu shouted these words, snowflakes manifested in the air before a heavy downpour of hail and snow rained down.
Tang Yin could feel the scattered Ice Principles gathering from all over the surroundings. Any attack used inside the Blizzard would be enhanced by the Ice Principles in the atmosphere. Blizzard could even be considered a pseudo-Law Domain.
"Glacial Spire!" With another shout, Chen Piu created a breath-taking spectacle.
Amidst the howling winds of the Blizzard, Chen Piu waved his arm. The moisture-laden air obeyed, coalescing into a swirling vortex of Ice Principles.
As the temperature dropped sharply, frost crystals danced and twirled, growing in size and weight. The air thickened, forming a glacial spire, stretching a hundred feet into the sky.
Its glistening surface reflected the ethereal glow of the surrounding Blizzard, a mesmerizing spectacle of ice and cold.
