Chapter 734 Titan Envoys.
Tian Long sighed after hearing the noise. He said, "Elder Tie Gang, I would appreciate you returning later. It is inconvenient for me to allow you inside the pavilion now."
Tian Long denied the meeting, thinking that the person would go away, but Tie Gang replied, "Your Excellency, I have come here with the token of Sect Master Lan. I must see you."
Tian Long raised his eyebrow and said, "Do you think you are Sect Master Lan? Even if he was here himself, I do not have to entertain you, do I? Mind your temper and leave while I am still talking nicely."
They would have given up after such a stern warning if it were someone else. However, Tie Gang was not fazed and said, "Your Excellency, the sect master asked him to come here and talk to the strongest person in the city about a matter of theft. The stolen item is a rare treasure, and if you can help us investigate the issue, the sect master will happily divide the recovered item with you."
Tian Long placed a hand on his mouth to stop his laughter but then sighed, "Fine! Come in, but if you tried to pull something funny before me. I will send your head back to your sect. Do you understand?"
The guards heard the command from Tian Long, and they relaxed. Tie Gang and his companion were surprised to find the building on such a high alert. They became suspicious. After all, what could be the reason Tian Long was present in person and the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion was closed off to people?
The two people came inside, and then a guard led them to the garden where Tian Long and Zither Soul sat under the tree. Tie Gang clasped his hands, bowed to the two sovereigns, and said, "Greetings, Your Excellencies. I did not expect to meet the both of you when I came here."
Tie Gang was an Immortal Emperor, and he had sensed their aura and decided to investigate first. Tian Long nodded, while Zither Soul did not react at all. She did not intend to deal with just anyone. Tie Gang did not have the authority even to mind her indifference.
Tian Long asked, "Why has Old Lan sent you over?"
Tie Gang replied, "The Zhu Family in the city had been safe keeping a treasure for the Sect Master. We just learned about theft. The thief attacked my closed disciple and disabled his cultivation. We wanted to seek assistance from the City Lord, but now that I found you, I decided to ask you. Please give the Sect Master some face and help us, Senior. The titans will not forget this debt."
Tian Long spoke slowly, "I did hear of this incident from Xiao Yang. However, I am afraid I cannot help you until my junior finishes his cultivation."
Tie Gang was surprised when suddenly he sensed the boiling spiritual energy from the side. He turned his head and was stunned to watch Shi Lang standing amidst the vortex of spiritual energy. He opened his mouth but could not say anything. One thing was sure to him, the man inside the vortex was sucking the spiritual energy akin to a black hole. The potential of this guy was massive.
Suddenly, Zither Soul asked, "Who else did you bring along, Elder Tie Gang?"
Tie Gang woke from his daze and replied, "This is my first disciple, Yun Tian."
The young man stepped up and greeted the two people again. Zither Soul gazed at him for a prolonged second before she went back to being indifferent. Tian Long nodded to Yun Tian and said, "You have a stable foundation. Keep up the good work."
Yun Tian smiled and replied, "Thank you, Senior."
Tie Gang thought highlighting his disciple's achievements was a good time. He said, "Your praise will send him to the skies, Senior."
Tian Long waved his hand and wanted to ask him something when the clueless Tie Gang said, "Recently, when he ranked among the top five in the sect disciple competition, he thought he was a big shot. I had to teach him a good lesson."
Tian Long curled his lips, and the two guests thought he was happy with them. They wanted to talk more when the spiritual vortex calmed down. Tian Long stood up, and a calm voice sounded, "Old Tian, it is time for a spar."
Tie Gang and Yun Tian were shocked to hear such a tone. They looked at the source of the voice and found Shi Lang stretching his body. They were shocked even more, but then Tian Long said, "I will not lower my realm, but I will only use physical attacks."
Shi Lang shrugged his shoulders as he gazed at the two guests. He said, "Big Sister, it is time to cast a barrier around us. The pavilion will crumble away. Also, prepare some medicine for your husband. I want to paint him blue."
Tian Long raised his brow and said, "Aren't you getting a bit too cocky?"
Shi Lang chuckled and beckoned him over. Tian Long moved from his position and appeared beside Shi Lang with a punch aimed at his temple. The movement was so quick and sharp that Tie Gang sucked in a cold breath.
Shi Lang smiled and allowed the punch to pass through his body. Then, his punch made contact with Tian Long's waist and pushed him back. The impact did not do any damage, but it pushed him off.
Tian Long was surprised and asked, "What did you do? How did you avoid that punch?"
Shi Lang smirked and said, "Old man, come find out the answer yourself."
The two began fighting, and Zither Soul watched the sparring session from the side with a smile. Tie Gang and Yun Tian were forced to move behind her to seek protection from the shockwaves that Tian Long's attack created.
Tie Gang asked, "Senior, who is this young man?"
Zither Soul gazed at him and said, "My younger brother. The champion of Dragon Army."
These words sent the two people into shock. They did not realize they were bragging before Tian Long while the champion stood in the same place. They were embarrassed but could not say anything. They could only watch the two people spar with each other. Tie Gang said, "Xiao Tian, watch them carefully and try to learn."
Yun Tian was a genius, but this level of the fight was holy material, and he nodded.
...
Amelia was sitting in the main hall in the northern region, serving tea to her master. The lady asked, "Why have you called me here?"
Amelia did not hide anything. She told her the entire issue and the old lady nodded. She said, "You did well, do not worry. I will hold the fort if anyone dares to look for trouble."
Amelia sighed in relief and said, "I need to climb the realm now. The heat of chaos is getting higher. Master, I have a bad feeling about this Centurion Tournament."
The grand elder nodded and said, "I agree with you. However, you cannot be reckless. One step at a time."
Amelia nodded, and they began talking about things. Suddenly, a loud voice echoed, "Lan Xiang, apologize for unannounced arrival. I wonder if the Sect Mistress is inside."
The voice had just dropped when the main hall door was pushed open. This was an audacious action. Lan Xiang was stepping on the dignity of the War Maiden Sect. The Grand Elder calmly said, "Oh, I was wondering who let their dog out. It turns out that the king of mad dogs himself has arrived."
Lan Xiang frowned and said, "Grand Elder, I came here to meet your Sect Mistress. Are you not stepping over a bit too much?"
Amelia chuckled and said, "Sect Master Lan Xiang, you barge in our Sect unannounced. You barge into our main hall, interrupt our uncultured work, and dare to accuse my Master of overreaching? Do you think we are afraid of a war with you and your bunch of barbarians?"
Lan Xiang yelled, "How dare you talk to me this way?"
His aura raged and scared the people. He was an Immortal Sovereign; even Immortal Emperors could not hold a candle to him. Amelia was suppressed, but she did not show any fear on her face and replied, "Sect Master Lan Xiang, do you remember where this place is? I can tell that even if this is your spiritual avatar, it will hurt you a lot if I destroy it."
Lan Xiang and the others were shocked; when they turned to look at Amelia, they found that the lady was already dressed in ice-blue armor. The grand elder sighed and said, "Lan Xiang, if you are here to ask for an explanation about our moves against your people. Then it would be best if you got lost. The war maiden sect was never on good terms with your school. Also, you dared to move into our territory; if I brought this up to the Martial Council, you would have more than me to worry about. Lastly, if you have forgotten how I trashed you like a kid in our youth, I would not mind refreshing your memory. I do not wish to cause bloodshed. Leave!"
Lan Xiang clenched his fists, and his eyes turned red from rage. He said, "Fine, old bitch, wait till the tournament. I will have my disciples kill every woman from your school they come across."
Amelia tilted her head and said, "For every person of my sect, I will take ten of yours. So, if you wish to start a war, be very careful. I will not accept surrenders, and I do not need slaves."
