Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System
Chapter 161 Man In Black CloakON A LARGE irregularly shaped rock, Yang Lujia and Sun Ling stood quietly. After Yang Lujia raised the question, Sun Ling surprisingly shut her mouth.
She remembered the day it happened.
“Father! Father!” Sun Ling excitedly entered the sect master’s hall with trembling eyes. “I’ve discovered a new technique! It was a technique I coincidentally found on a dead body—”
Sun Feng sighed and looked at his precious daughter. “Ling’er, didn’t I tell you not to enter so rashly into my hall? Otherwise, what would the others think of me?”
“Father, you wouldn’t believe me—eh? Who’s this?” Sun Ling was surprised when he saw the man in black. When she observed him more, she even felt threatened.
‘Why would father be acquainted with this type of person?’ she thought.
“Sun Ling, don’t be rude. This is a guest from the Autonomous Region.”
Sun Ling turned to look at this man with shock evident in her eyes.
His black cloak carried the majesty of a dark emperor, extremely grim. There was no emblem printed on it. She suspected that he might be an impostor. However, if she tagged him as such, there was the risk of offending such a strong person.
“What? There’s actually that kind of bloodline in here? What a strong bloodline!” the man exclaimed after looking at Sun Ling.
His eyes were deep. However, she did not see his face, only a part of his black-tinted hair and black-pupiled eyes.
Sun Feng, the fatty, was also as perplexed as his daughter. “Bloodline? What bloodline does she have?”
“Not only is she below a hundred years old, but she also achieved the cultivation of the Saint Realm even with only a low level of resources. Moreover, she could become an important part of our plan. Perhaps she was the only one who could quicken the process of the Sacrificial Rites without any problem. With her bloodline, it is already enough!”
“You… w-what are you talking about?” Sun Feng stammered, looking at the man incredulously. “What bloodline does my daughter possess—no! What are you trying to do with her?!”
Sun Feng was terrified at the thought of her daughter getting caught in this much trouble. Obviously, this man in the black cloak was a senior they could not afford to offend. If he really wanted his daughter for a rite he had known nothing about, he probably could not do anything.
Sun Ling was too stunned to speak. Gradually, she took some steps back, evidently trying to avoid the man as much as possible. Her instincts were higher than anyone’s. To be able to successfully manipulate the rules of time, it was necessary for her to cultivate the Mind Path, one of the three major paths.
Time was one of those superior rules that were almost impossible to comprehend just by being a saint. At least that’s what they knew. Hence, she needed to cultivate the major path, the Path of the Mind, as this could provide her with a higher understanding of the characters to comprehend in order to successfully manipulate the rules of time.
At the moment, she could only manipulate the time around those that were inanimate and those who had lower cultivation than her.
“You may not know, but I can feel that her bloodline is special…” the man replied. “We need her. You should be thankful instead because you will be able to help the resurrection of someone mighty!”
“Fuck! I don’t care! That’s my daughter! You don’t have the right to take her away from me!” Sun Feng screamed and pushed Sun Ling out of the sect master’s hall. “Little Ling! Go as far as you can from here! You can join the Sirin Grave Sect if you want to! Bring your big sister along with you! I know you hate her, but you’re still sisters!”
“F-Father…” She looked at the closed door in a daze, not knowing what to do.
“Oh? This favored little sister of mine is actually here again to bother father?” Sun Xiu approached her. “What are you doing being like that?”
After waking up from her stupor, she hurriedly stood up and reached for her big sister’s hand. “Big sister! Let’s leave now! Father is dealing with someone stronger than him. I’m afraid he can’t hold on for much longer… at least…” Sun Ling, as aggressive as she was, showed tears to her big sister. “Big sister… father… he threw me out just to protect me and warn you to leave the sect right away…”
BANG!
Sun Xiu was shocked when he saw her little sister acting like this. Although she had always been rude to her, it was only due to her being the only favorite of her father, incurring jealousy in her heart—but it never flared up even once. Although they were of the same age, she was older than her, and being the older sister—she had the responsibility of taking care of her little sister.
“Let’s go!” Sun Xiu knew that their situation should be hopeless. Even her little sister, who she could not even induce to cry, had actually teared up like that.
She was sure of it—from the moment that explosion happened in the sect master hall, she knew that their father was fighting someone very strong. Therefore, she didn’t dilly-dally and dragged Sun Ling with her to the forest, which would lead them to the Sirin Grave Sect to seek refuge or even join the sect for the sake of their father.
Even if their strength today isn’t sufficient enough to defeat their enemies now, as long as they become strong enough to wander around the realm and investigate the matter of their father, they would not dare to lose hope!
“Sun Ling, tell me about what happened. How did it come to this?!” Sun Xiu asked hurriedly, temporarily staying within the story. She wanted to know what happened first.
Then, Sun Ling proceeded to narrate the event that had just transpired. Trembling in anger, Sun Xiu almost punched the ground, but she resisted herself, lest she’d attract the attention of any master from around the vicinity.
“What did that man say? You have a strong bloodline? Why can’t I understand it?” Sun Xiu looked confused.
“Yes, he said that. But I don’t know what he meant by that,” Sun Ling replied innocently.
“If that’s the case, then that man should truly be from the Autonomous Region. It’s said that their level of knowledge with regard to the cultivation world surpasses even ours! He must know something about your bloodline as well. I wonder if I also have that.”
“Girls…”
“Who’s there?!” Both of them stood up and looked at the approaching fat man. Question marks then filled their minds.
“W-What? F-Father? Shouldn’t you be…” Sun Ling was the first to reach between the two of them.
Sun Feng then heaved a sigh and said to his twin daughter, “You don’t have to worry about anything, girls. I was able to persuade that man not to take away Little Ling anymore. Let’s just go back to the sect.” Then, his expression turned solemn. “From his looks when he walked off the sect, he probably won’t let this matter alone without even trying to take Little Ling away!”
Sun Xiu and Sun Ling looked at each other and then at their father.
“Are you sure about this, father?” Sun Ling asked. “Did you not think of the possibility that that man might still be around the sect elsewhere, waiting for us to come back?”
Then, Sun Xiu nodded in agreement. “Yes, if he truly won’t let us off like you said, then…”
“It looks like you girls still have doubts about the capabilities of your father. Of course, I am taking you somewhere else other than the sect!”
Sun Xiu and Sun Ling looked at each other and nodded. “Alright, father. We will follow you!”
Carefully treading their path in a certain direction, both of them were confused as to where their father would take them to. Apart from the place that had turned dark, there was also the eerie atmosphere the place was giving them.
Only the repetitive sound of the crickets and their footsteps could be heard. Then, after that, with their father in the lead, they suddenly stopped. They raised their heads and looked at their father, who was already facing the two of them.
“I’m sorry, girls, but you’re gonna have to be controlled by me! Hahahaha!” Sun Feng suddenly had a crazed look on his face, eyeing his two daughters like a beast.
“Good job, Dark Puppet Feng,” a loud voice filled with sublimity rang into their minds. “Since you have made it this far, I will let you try to control the other daughter of yours. She doesn’t have any special bloodline, so it should be easy to control her. As for that Little Ling of yours, leave her to me. She cannot become my puppet because her bloodline is clearly superior to mine, so I’ll just temporarily lock her up in the underground prison of your sect.”
“F-Father, what’s the meaning of this?!” Sun Xiu exclaimed, especially when she saw how sinister Sun Feng’s smile was.
As for Sun Ling, she was already petrified.
ESCAPE!
That was the word Sun Xiu thought of doing, but she couldn’t even see anything other than the four of them!
“Don’t think about escaping from within my Dark Domain,” the man in a hooded black cloak spoke, seeming to have known Sun Xiu’s thoughts. “It’s futile.”
