Chapter 665 Brief Return To The East.
Shi Lang spent a night with Yu Xiedi and learned much from her about Yu Xian and Han Kim. His worries were unfounded as the two elders were warm and loving to her.
However, the child was not a fan as the elders did not allow her to cultivate in peace.
The terran was helpless, and he could not do anything about her obsession with power. However, she paid great attention to her rest. She wished to push herself closer to the edge every time she practiced. This was the method she had figured out to exceed her limits slowly.
Never in the past few days has she managed to rub past the tail of the Emerald Sparkle Rabbit. The girl had been working hard, but her efforts had yet to bear fruit.
Shi Lang spent the night solving the doubts of his disciples. On the other hand, he allowed Hao Mei and Hao Ren to spend more time together. He was cruel, but when he saw how dependent they were, he could not bear to split them apart.
...
In the morning, Yu Xian came to find him and discuss his granddaughter's obsession with getting stronger. The old man was a dignified Immortal Emperor, but he could not stand aside as the child toiled throughout the day.
Shi Lang did not mind the old man and said, "Xiao Yu, do not overwork. You will reach the peak if you know when to rest and exert. Sometimes, taking a break can help you better understand the principle of cultivation."
The old man was angry, but his granddaughter and wife supported Shi Langa. Even Yu Mingxue did not say anything regarding the hard work Yu Xiedi put into her cultivation. She wished for her niece to rise to the peak of strength and not suffer the same faith as her sister.
Shi Lang did not intend to waste his time. He finished dealing with the old man and went to find Hao Mei and Hao Ren. Yu Xian did not give up and followed Shi Lang. He wanted to see where this young man would take her granddaughter.
Yu Xiedi cast the old man a stink eye as she followed her master like a tail. She did not care about this grumpy grandpa. Shi Lang came to Hao Mei's room and knocked at the door gently.
A few moments later, the door was pushed open, and Hao Mei revealed her head. She smiled and said, "Good morning, Master."
Shi Lang smiled back at her and asked, "Xiao Mei, are you both ready?"
Hao Mei nodded, and Shi Lang said, "Come along, let us drop your brother to the place where he will learn to forge his path of cultivation."
The girl nodded and opened the door completely for Shi Lang to enter. She greeted Yu Xiedi with a smile and bowed to the old man. Shi Lang entered the room and said, "Senior Yu, with all due respect, I would appreciate it if you could leave me and my disciples alone."
Yu Xian narrowed his gaze and said, "What do you intend to do?"
Shi Lang looked at the old man and said, "I am taking Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei to a special place for cultivation, and on the way, we will see off Hao Ren."
Yu Xian nodded and said commandingly, "I want to come along."
Shi Lang gazed at the guy and said, "Xiao Yu, can you please call your grandmother over? I think Senior Yu is feeling under the weather."
The little girl nodded, and before the old man could say anything, she vanished from the place. Hao Mei was shocked, and Hao Ren was dazed. They could not understand how the little girl was quicker than them.
Yu Xian was stunned, and then he became angry. He glared at Shi Lang and said, "You brat, who do you think you are?"
Shi Lang replied calmly, "I am Xiao Yu's master."
Yu Xian clenched his fist and was about to yell when Yu Mingxue arrived and said, "Father, my father-in-law wants to talk to you about something important."
The old man turned his head, and the girl told him something through spirit communication, 'Father, someone slayed seventy demonic cultivators and left their heads on pikes. This expert left behind a message for the demonic cultivators as well."
Yu Xian was shocked and did not expect to see something like this in the morning. He glared at Shi Lang and said, "Brat, if anything happens to my granddaughter, I will kill you."
Shi Lang was not in the mood to waste any more time and did not reply. Yu Xian and Yu Mingxue left the place to discuss the matter silently. The terran did not care about them. He waited a few minutes before Yu Xiedi came over with Han Kim. Shi Lang bowed to the lady and said, "Senior, I will bring Xiao Yu along with me to see off Hao Ren and support Xiao Mei."
Han Kim smiled and asked, "Do you need any help?"
Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I do not intend to hide this from you, but I hope you also respect my privacy. I will bring them to visit a controlled secret place for cultivation. They all can use some nourishment and should have a purer foundation in the early phrases."
Han Kim understood that the young man was asking her to keep these things a secret and nodded. She was not someone to speak unnecessarily, plus this method was connected to her granddaughter's safety; how dared she be careless?
She nodded and said, "Young friend Ace, I have seen you care for Xiedi a lot, so rest assured that I trust you will get the best for her."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "We will leave now."
He told the old lady that she should give them the needed space because he would use special means to bring the children out.
Han Kim nodded and left the place. Shi Lang watched her vanish in the corridor, but he could still sense her spiritual sense lingering around. The terran shook his head and waved his hand to close the door and invoke a barrier around the place.
After blocking the room, he opened the space tunnel and said, "You guys, hold my hands."
They nodded, and Yu Xiedi and Hao Mei held both his hands. Hao Ren held onto his sister. Shi Lang moved, and they jumped into the black void tunnel.
He would bring them to the eastern barren via the Inheritance palace. He was not in the mood of gifting anything to those legendary beasts. He knew that his clones had been enlightened by one of the kinder existences there, but not everyone was the same.
…
After a moment, the children opened their eyes. They found Shi Lang standing before a few ethereal people. The terran seemed to have sensed their gazes, turned around with a smile, and said, "Are you guys not going to greet the seniors?"
After regaining control, The children stood up and bowed to the ethereal figures. Shi Lang smiled and said, "Seniors, Xiao Yu is my first disciple, and I have imparted her with all my skills. Xiao Mei is still new, so I have not taught her my skills. I wonder if they followed my skills, will it hamper their future? Please give me some advice."
The figures exchanged a few glances, and then one of the older women said, "Wait till we have tested their potential. Only then can we tell you about it."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Then I will leave them in your care. They both have some experience of cultivation and the hardships it can bring."
The elder phantom asked, "What do you intend to do with the boy?"
Shi Lang smiled and said, "I will bring him to the Spirit Heart Sect. They will guide him initially, and when he proves his worth, he might get a chance to come here and inherit your skills."
The phantoms nodded, and the elder said, "Then you should leave now."
Shi Lang nodded and left the palace with a void tunnel. He appeared outside the palace with Hao Ren. The place was supposed to be a barren land. Still, the nourishment of the spirit refining lotus alone has transformed the place into a paradise flourishing with natural herbs and thick spiritual energy.
When Shi Lang came out, he sensed a few Immortal King realm experts appearing next to him. The people surrounded him, and they all were surprised.
Shi Lang spotted an old acquaintance. He smiled and said, "Grand Elder Long, greetings."
The grand elder of the dragon sword mountain looked at him with a faint surprise and said, "Long time no see, Xiao Lang. Care for a duel?"
Surprised, Shi Lang chuckled and said, "I humbly seek your advice, Elder."
The experts were taken aback, but then they gave the two people room. They all have gotten used to this old man seeking challenges. If not for the fact that he had to guard the holy land, he would have left to try his mettle in the central plains.
