Chapter 725 Awaiting The Dawn.
Shi Lang dismissed everyone under the premise of reading the book. He did not tell them that despite all this information, they had nothing substantial. This information alone was not enough to act against the Zhu Family. It was only normal in the Immortal World for people to strive for power and control.
If they used the fact that this power struggle would cause problems for them, then they would appear even more shallow as a force. Shi Lang needed to know more and suddenly thought of something. He folded the corner of the page he was reading and closed the book before he took out the spiritual communicator and sent a message to Amelia.
He typed, 'I need as much information about the Titan Sect and how they formed a connection to the Zhu Family of the Forger City. Something is happening in the shadows, and I do not wish to be caught unprepared.'
After he sent the message he picked up the book to finish the task at hand.
...
On the otherside, the War Maiden Sect was busy in celebration for the safe return of the people. Amelia received the message from Shi Lang and was surprised. She thought for a bit and said, "Sister Ying, find me the information on Titan sect."
Ying Yu was surprised but she nodded. In her view Amelia must be trying to get familiar with a neighboring force. Zither Soul was arranged to stay in a big courtyard with a scenic location along with her guards.
Yes, it may seem like a bit too much, but even Immortal Sovereigns were accompanied by guards when they go out. This was all a part of their flex and theatrics. Amelia showered in hot water and washed away all the blood on her being before she was visited by Elder Flower Sword.
The old lady sighed and bowed, "Young Miss, what do you think the lady has come to seek an alliance for?"
Amelia smiled as she looked through the details Ying Yu had passed her, "Elder Flower Sword, why do we have to worry about the things that are not under our control?"
Flower Sword thought for a bit and said, "I do not know, this sudden visit is making me feel unsettled."
At this moment, a calm and wise voice echoed inside the room, "Amelia is right, Flower Sword. You need to calm yourself."
Flower Sword looked at the side, and found another old lady standing there. She bowed and greeted, "I have seen the grand elder."
Amelia stood up from her table and walked closer to the newly arrived lady before she said, "Greetings, Master."
The old lady smiled and patted her head. She said, "You have done good this time. The sect is united together and they are all willing to work together for a greater cause. The elder council is happy."
Amelia smiled and the grand elder continued, "Do you need help in negotiating with Zither Soul?"
The terran lady shook her head and said, "My husband did tell me to go ahead with what I feel about this issue. Even if we have the intention of refusing them, I think it is better to listen what they have to say about this matter. Senior Zither Soul is a senior member of the martial arts association and a business woman who owns the Jade Tower conglomerate. We should not disrespect her."
The Grand Elder smiled faintly and nodded as she said, "I did not think that fate will bring me to pick up such a jewel. Go ahead, deal with it how you find it appropriate."
Amelia nodded, and then the Grand Elder vanished from the sides. Flower Sword sighed and said, "Well, I think it is wise that you deal with this on your own. I will be at your side at all times."
The lady smiled and said, "Yes. That is for tomorrow. Do not worry about it now."
Flower Sword talked to her about a few more things and then she also retired to her quarters. Amelia read through the details of the strength and occupational range of the Titan Sect. Turns out this group of people were all celebate men. They practiced the ways of the puligists.
Amelia could not help but raise her brows to this fact. It was like a counter part to the War Maiden Sect. These people trained till they were at the realm of Immortal Generals before pouring themselves at the front lines. They will battle for seven years non-stop before they could come back to the sect and try to advance to the next level or die trying.
Another thing that surprised Amelia was how one of the inner court elder of this sect was called Zhu Tianlong. This person was now a personal aid to the Sect Master, an Immortal sovereign like Flower Sword. However, he was still not at the peak.
Unlike the War Maiden Sect, Titan Sect has been involved in mundane matters more than frequently. They owned many businesses and trained the younger generation by working as Head-hunters or bounty collection. Recently, they have started showing interest in acquiring the Forger city.
It was evident that the advantage of having an entire City give them weapons as tribute was going to boost their morale. Amelia was reading through the rest of the data when Ying Yu arrived. The former asked interestingly, "What happened?"
Ying Yu handed her a piece of parchment and said, "This just arrived and I think, this is why Sovereign Zither Soul has come to us."
Amelia was immediately interested and took hold of the paper. She read the details and then looked back the at the page from the Titan Sect. She mumbled, "If the speculation is correct than we can help them. After all, the Titans are acting a bit too much out of line with this conquesting style of theirs."
Ying Yu was surprised but she nodded. Amelia was not looking to uproot the sect, but she was going to push back the Titan Sect as these people have been acting out. She said, "Thank you, Sister Ying."
Ying Yu nodded and said, "What do you intend to do?"
Amelia thought for a bit and set, "Get me the Seven Maidens. They will be the keys to upset the plans of those grizzly bears."
Ying Yu smiled and said, "Amelia, sometimes I feel so gratified that you are not the enemy."
Amelia gazed at her and chuckled. She then operated her spiritual communicator and began to summarize the details of the data and pass it to Shi Lang. Her husband will be fighting the same war as hers if they were to stop the charge of the Titans.
...
It was late at night and Shi Lang was still sitting in the library. The Young Master's preservance have shocked everyone. He was sitting in the same position for almost a day now. Shi Lang was reading when he found a message on his spiritual controller. He found that the data was a bit too much.
He took out a paper and began to write down with an ink brush. He mumbled while dipping the brush into the ink, "I need to make myself a fountain pen."
The more he wrote down, the more surprised he felt. After he was finished, he thanked Amelia and gave her a few words of sweet nothings. Then he stood up from the chair and stretched his body issuing a few crackling sounds. He looked at the sky and found that it was pretty late.
He shook his head and looked at a Young Man standing outside the library as he left the place. He asked, "Can you tell me where can I find a vacant forging room?"
The Young Man was surprised, he wanted to mock Shi Lang, but then he saw the red and gold dragon medallion tied on his waist. He froze and nodded hurriedly, "This way please, Young Master."
Shi Lang nodded with a smile as he followed the guy. He asked the young man, "Brother, what is your name?"
The young man was flustered, "Young Master, you can call me Xiao Jun."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Xiao Jun, do you know where is Pavilion Master Yang at this hour?"
Xiao Jun shook his head and replied, "Young Master, I am just the gatekeeper for the library at night. I do not know where Pavilion Master would be at this hour."
Shi Lang nodded and quietly followed him. As they reached the forging rooms, the Terran said, "Do me a favor and find the pavilion master for me?"
Xiao Jun nodded and replied, "Yes, sir."
Then he rushed away. Shi Lang shook his head with a smile and entered the room as he hummed, "Time to cook a storm, and break the norms. The world of the strong awaits a new dawn. La la la la.... la la.. la la la..."
Shi Lang knew what the Zhu Family was after and what gave them the courage to come after the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion and the City Palace. He was not going to let them have their way. He was no longer the Terran Soldier, but the Scavenger King who was going to make them all miserable.
