After that, the assassin began to make a series of hands seals and soon started cultivating his essence qi. After that, essence qi all around the surroundings began to concentrate, gather, and finally poured inside his body. And soon, he began to regain his vitality and the essence qi inside the Dantian in his navel also began to fill up gradually.
After several minutes, he opened his eyes, ending his cultivation. He stood up on his feet and happened to see a handsome youth in his line of vision. "Ah!" he exclaimed and flopped down over the ground again, "Greeting patriarch!" He called and bowed toward the youth, kneeling on the ground.
The youth looked all over the assassin's body and said, "Yan Liang, you look awful." He paused and continued, "Anyway, how is your mission?"
"Pa-triarch, ah-um, I failed. Please, punish me." Yan Liang who was wearing all black-cloaked replied stuttering.
The youth twisted his face for an instance, sending an intense icy-cold killing intent toward the currently kneeling Yan Liang, making him shiver all over his body. He released quickly and asked calmly, "Alright, tell me, what really happened there?"
"My lord, that brat is too strange…" Yan Liang, the assassin, began to retell all the details of the fight between him and Joey.
The youth listened to him carefully, observing the heartbeats of the assassin. But as he continued listening to the report, his expressions changed from time to time as he felt that it was an impossible feat for a Demi-God realm expert to defeat a Semi-Boundless realm expert. But still, he continued listening all up to the end.
"Patriarch, if I knew the boy is so perversely powerful like that then I would have used my Dao-poison heart root. " Yan Liang, the assassin clenched his fists firmly and further added, "Patriarch, please give me another chance. I'll not hold back and kill him this time."
"So he even let you go freely after your defeat? " The youth asked instead, feeling his part of the story has some flaws.
"Ah, that arrogant brat, just let me go, telling me to pass his words for you." Yan Liang, the assassin replied, gnashing his teeth. His reaction was very reasonable because it felt really humiliating on the very thought that as an assassin, first, he failed to take down his target, which was a great taboo for them. But his situation was completely on a different level as his target defeated him and spared his life instead, which was really contradictory to his point of view.
"Alright, tell me, what did he say exactly? And don't leave anything." The youth commanded calmly.
"He says, 'I, Joey will come to take your head soon.' " "Patriarch, don't take his words seriously. I shall go back again and bring his head to you." Yan Liang, the assassin suggested in a serious tone.
"Yan Liang, just go back to your home and take a rest for someday." The patriarch of the Great Gu Clan said.
"No, please give me one more chance." Yan Liang, the assassin, requested again.
The patriarch frowned and scolded him harshly, "Are you going against my order? And what in the hell do you think that you could defeat the boy even if you happened to use your trump card?" He sneered and berated, "Yan Liang, do you really think the boy had already used all of his skills to defeat you? What a joke?! From your story, I feel that he defeated you very easily. So, get lost and go back to your holes before I kick you there myself and stop embarrassing the name of the Great Gu Clan furthermore. Do you hear me? "
Lan Liang, the assassin quickly took his leave disappearing from the sight of the youth after apologizing to him.
The youth was all alone standing before the clan gate. He was none other than the patriarch of the Great Gu Clan, Yuwen Tai. He looked exactly like the sect master of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. The only difference was that he looked a lot younger than him.
He glanced far over the horizon and muttered to himself, " Ah, this clone of mine was really becoming a pain in my behind. Why did he have to pick on that kid, to begin with? And what is this feeling of helplessness that I have been feeling for this week? Am I really going to fall in his hand this time? Fine, what has happened has already happened, there is no turning back. I should prepare myself to take him down myself. " He then waved his long sleeves and disappeared from the spot in the thin air.
—---------------------------
Like the other five Super clans, the main family of the Great Gōng clan was also located in one of the several pocket realms of the Ancestral Armament World. It was a beautiful world enriched with verdant forests, rivers, lakes, and the seas. Also, the natural essence qi inside this pocket realm was ten times more concentrated and purer than that in the Ancestral Armament World.
There was a slender golden pagoda located in one of the islands in the easternmost sea. It was the personal lodging of the patriarch of the Great Gong Clan, Bai Zilong. Other than the pagoda tower that stands tall on the island, all the other things were tall trees, various fruit plants, and some lakes and rivers that flowed through the various regions of the island. It was really an extremely beautiful scene as several groups of small birds chirped from time to time from within the woods.
Suddenly on the rocky shore of the island, the space began to fluctuate, opening a large circular portal at that very spot. "Patriarch, I'm here to report urgent news." A male voice came out from within the portal, making all the small birds that were perching on the nearby tall trees fly away, frightening them all from his abrupt voice. And soon, the surrounding interred into a serene state except for the occasional sound of the ocean waves hitting over the several slates of rocks on the shores of the island.
Soon a terrifying soul-force was sent toward the large circular portal and began to scan it and around it very thoroughly.
After a couple of minutes, a deep but sonorous voice spoke, "Alright, you can set your foot on my home. Come come."
As soon as he said that, a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious purple Daoist robe came out of the portal and landed his foot on the ground. And soon, he made a series of hand seals and murmured, chanting a spell in synchronous with his repeated hand gestures, and he finally completed forming a cube-shaped white seal just above his hands. He then threw it toward the black space portal. The large circular portal also quickly closed up just after the white cube spell touched it and dissolved inside it.
The youth who just came out of the circular portal had an extremely beautiful appearance. If someone didn't hear his manly tone and his totally flatly chested bosoms then one would have mistaken him for a beautiful lady. He was none other than Bai Li, the elder of the Great Gong Clan who had just returned back to the pocket realm after meeting Joey in the Sandara town.
He quickly walked rushing toward the slender golden pagoda that lies at the center of the island. As flying was strictly restricted on this island, one needed to walk by his legs all up to the center in order to meet the family patriarch.
After exactly thirteen minutes of running, Bai Yi finally reached and stood before the giant door of the golden pagoda. He then slightly bowed inside the pagoda and greeted, "Family Patriarch, Bai Yi the 7th elder of the inner family is here to pay my sincere respect to you."
"Alright, boy, you can come inside. I have been waiting for you." The earlier male voice spoke again.
After receiving his permission, Bai Li took his steps and entered inside the pagoda. As soon as he landed his two legs inside the room, he was somehow swallowed by something, a whole and he lost his vision as he could only darkness. The next moment he saw that he was inside a vast bright room with the vista of whitewashed walls, without any doors or windows. He looked around and saw a young man who seemed to be of four-and-twenty sitting over a cultivation mat in a lotus position at the center of the colossus room.
"Alright, boy, have a seat first." He said and waved his hands, and a cultivation mat appeared just before Bai Li.
Bai Li sat on the cultivation mat gingerly and said, "Patriarch, it is emergency news. "
"Go on boy. I am listening." The patriarch of the great Gong clan said in a calm and easy-going voice.
"Sir, ah- umm. It is about Bai Zhen." Bai Li said, showing a complicated facial expression.
"Bai Zhen, oh, alright, what is it? Did he cause more problems this time?" The Patriarch asked and reassured him, "Tell me all the truth."
