"Haha, good, very good. You juniors Keep getting better and better" Sky Sword laughed, and for some strange reason, he somewhat felt young again.
"Hold it right there. Nobody move" a loud shout came from out of the crowd, Sky Sword turned his head and saw that a bunch of people was making their way towards them.
These people had a twisted look on their faces; the killing intent around them was thick to the point of almost manifesting into reality. The crowd made way for these people to pass and as they arrived near Sky Sword and his party, a triangle face man began to shout with hate in his voice.
"This kid just broke my senior apprentice brother's hand. The Wolf Clan will never let you go" as the triangle face man spoke, he extracted a sword from his back; his intentions were clear as day.
"Don't forget us" Sky Sword turned his head in another direction and saw another group of people making their way over as well. After seeing this, Sky Sword felt a headache coming on.
"You four Asura masks wearers have been rampaging through my Calm Wind Sect for a month now. You've broken three arms and heavily injured seven persons already, this time, my Calm Wind Sect want justice" this time, a middle-aged man spoke with thick killing intent. He was fully aware that these Asura mask people were just juniors but he didn't care.
His Sect had lost too much face and thus he had to make a move or else no one would want to come to his sect anymore. And that in itself was bad for business. More and more people began to arrive one after the other, the reason why so many of them could gather was that it was the first time that all the Asura mask wearers had gather at the same place together and weren't constantly moving.
Thus they jumped on the opportunity to make a fast move while they could. Over 200 people surrounded the small group of Sky Sword and the members of the Flying Sword Sect. Sky Sword wanted to laugh be couldn't, how could these children actually offended so many people in such a small amount of time.
Was there really no one to challenge them? Could these children really be that amazing? Couldn't be right?
Many questions popped up in Sky Sword's mind but he couldn't address that now. First, he had to settle this before it gets out of hand and if Jia Lin were to step in, Sky Sword feared the worst for these people!
"Everyone, everyone, please calm down. This is all my Sky Sword's fault, the Flying Sword Sect will compensate you greatly" Sky Sword smiled to the crowd of people, though he could directly ignore them, he wanted to give as much face as possible to the martial king of Thunder Cry city.
After all, making enemies at every turn wasn't beneficial in any way whatsoever. After the crowds of people heard that this group of people, including the Asura mask wearers, had come from the Flying Sword Sect, their anger instantly dyed down. To think that they actually ganged up to take the heads of members of a major power, how funny, how ridiculous was that?
Everyone fell silent; this was the power of background. The reputation that the Flying Sword Sect had built up for generations was like a wild horse running through the plains, strong and majestic. Even though it was known that their Twin Province was one of the largest known inhabitants around, and also had a martial king, their history couldn't match up to that of the Flying Sword Sect's
"Oh, so it was the Flying Sword Sect. Well, why didn't you say so" the triangle face man said with an awkward smile?
"Yeah, you guys should've told us from the get-go" the middle-age man cupped his fists with a smile.
It wasn't wise for small sects and clans to challenge a major power, the outcome or end result wouldn't be since no matter which way they looked at it. The patriarch of the Lightning Thunder Sect was a man who only acted if the situation truly called for it, if they were to be fooled and take action while knowing that these people were from the Sword Sect, he would only step in after some of them had died.
"Thank you, friends, for overlooking this matter" Sky Sword smiled once again.
"No no, it's nothing" the triangle face man smiled and cupped his fists.
"Then we shall be on our way then" Sky Sword waved his hand signaling for everyone to move out once more.
The Twin Province was a massive area that was home to many small Sects, schools, and clans. The resources available to the province were considered rich from all angles. There was a time when the major powers wanted to share this land for themselves but then they found that the Twin Province was the house of at least 5 Soul Creation Realm experts. And thus, they decided not to move in to manipulate the resources there.
"This is truly a grand city" Jia Lin murmured while walking in the city.
He saw numerous stores, selling pills, weapons, cultivation methods, and medicinal herbs. Jia Lin had been away from Asura Town for a while now and he knew not of the running’s that had been going on. He could only trust in Yue Yue and captain Qen to run the city the right way.
"Around the Twin Province, there are many mystic realms. The location of the Dark Abyss is also within one of these mystic realms as well" Sky Sword as he walked along, started to instruct the many disciples he had with him.
It was known to all that within the next few months, the Dark Abyss would soon open and only Heaven Class champions would have the qualifications to enter. All those who made it on the Heaven Class list, in the future wouldn't have any problems in making to the Martial King realm. They were all top geniuses of a sect, clan, or faction.
"I originally wanted to return back to the Sect, but I've just gotten news that the Heaven Class competition will be held within the Twin Province. This also makes a lot of sense, the Dark Abyss is located within this area thus it would be reasonable to hold the competition here"
Sky Sword continued to walk until he made his way into a massive Inn. This Inn was called Dragon Valley Inn and it was one of the more prosperous Inns in town. The dishes they made are all from high-level profound beast’s meat, and the wine is made from profound beast’s blood essence.
All of these foods and drinks can greatly help a cultivator's cultivation base rise, maybe not by much but it greatly helps in the strengthening process. This was also the main reason why most practitioners choose to hunt profound beasts and eat their flesh and grind their bones for whines.
"I need rooms for 30 people. We'll be staying for two months, I also want four of your best training areas" Sky Sword walked up to a young lady that was at the front desk of the Inn's main hall, his mannerism was great, as expected for a person his age and not like some of the arrogant youths of the city.
"I'm sorry kind sir, but we only have 29 rooms at the moment. Due to the fact that the Heaven Class competition is about to begin, all rooms are being booked out. I do apologize" the young lady respectfully said. It could be seen that she had been doing this kind of business for a very long time and knew what must be said, when and how!
"Ah, I see" Sky Sword didn't make a fuss; he turned around to look at his members and was wondering if he should find another Inn.
He didn't want to leave his people and go elsewhere or them leaving to go elsewhere. Worse Jia Lin, it was now known that they were now enemies with the Wild Lands and the Dark Tree Faction. Thus it wouldn't be safe for any of them to be out by themselves at a time like this.
"Senior Sky doesn't have to worry. I can share a room with anyone" Jia Lin stepped up at this moment and said with a calm expression. It didn't matter to him who stayed in his room; the only thing he cared about was getting some practice done.
"Oh, is this so" Sky Sword had a broad smile on his face, this old man was a fox in his day and knew many tricks thus he assumed that Jia Lin wanted to play some games with the ladies.
"Cough. Senior, don't go overboard" Jia Lin had an awkward expression on his face after seeing how Sky Sword acted. This old man was trying to tear down the good image that he had built for so long with just a single smile. How evil and heartless, it was best if he tried to kill Jia Lin instead.
"Who will be staying with Jia Lin" Sky Sword turned and asks the crowd of people.
But before anyone could voice their thoughts, Zin Len walked up with a cold expression on her face.
"There's no need. I'll be staying" Sky Sword could only cough and smile.
"OK then, we're all set then!"
