Chapter 736 High Risk High Stakes.
Shi Lang watched the two people leave and sighed. He stood up from his chair and made a beeline to Yang Tei. He wanted to find out if Tian Long schooled this old boy. The Terran was up to something really scary. If the people around him did not have enough guts to see things through, then it would be a hassle, and they might get caught by the enemy.
He stood at the courtyard door and asked the guard, "Is the pavilion master inside?"
The guard nodded and replied softly, "Yes, young master."
Shi Lang nodded and began to think about how to approach this issue. On the other hand, the guard was just a step away from getting down on his knees. Shi Lang's spar with Tian Long had already been spread over to the people in the pavilion. They all had no idea their Young Master was such a terrifying monster. Now that they knew the extent of his skills, his presence alone was enough to suppress them all.
After a few moments, Shi Lang asked, "Can I go in?"
The guard nodded and took a step to the side. Shi Lang smiled and thanked the man before he walked inside. His small action impressed the guard even more. Shi Lang entered the courtyard and said, "Pavilion Master Yang, are you awake?"
A few moments later, the door was opened, and Yang Tie walked out. He asked, "Young Master, what can I help you with?"
Shi Lang gazed at the young man from head to toe, and Yang Tie shivered. The Terran smiled and asked, "What did old Tian tell you?"
Yang Tie replied, "He told me to steel my resolve. The things you will do will only bear fruit when those who follow you have the utmost faith in you. He told me that we cannot stand at the peak of our beliefs with only diligence. We need to use our minds and sometimes underhanded means. I only hope that no innocent will be harmed."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "I promise that I will not harm any innocent or will not ask you to do something that stains your dignity or conscience. However, in return, I hope you can stand strong beside me. The Peak is not something that just one person can take. The peak is a chase that lasts for as long as you are alive."
Yang Tie nodded and asked, "I understand; I will try my best to accomplish the tasks you assign me."
Shi Lang nodded and took out a space ring. He used his spiritual sense and said, "This space ring contains a kilogram of Emeris and five kilograms of celestial goal. I want you to develop a few things from these metals."
Yang Tie's hand trembled as he held onto the space ring. He asked, "What equipment?"
He expected Shi Lang to throw him in a bind, but this was completely unexpected. If this was a test, then he had no margin of failure. If he failed to refine these rare materials, then he would rather kill himself with his hammer.
Shi Lang nodded and gave him a few pages. The more Yang Tie read, the more baffled he became. He looked at Shi Lang, who said, "Go get things done. I need them as soon as possible."
That said, he turned around, leaving the pavilion master. Shi Lang returned to his room to meditate; his gains that day were not shallow. The first thing he learned was the first intent, and the second was the intent of speed.
His speed was so high that he could now vibrate his body, and the attacks would pass through him. This does not make him invincible, and he could not have made this move many times. The consumption of spiritual energy and stamina was too taxing. In the spar, he could only use it once, and that too on his whim.
He consolidated his comprehension and waited for the sun to rise on the horizon.
...
Amelia woke up in a daze, and after collecting herself, she sat up. She looked around briefly and then ran her spiritual cycle to check her health. When she finished checking, she stood up and left her room. Ying Yu happened to be standing outside.
Amelia asked, "Are you here to check up on me?"
Ying Yu shook her head and said, "Nope, just here to tell you that a little girl claims to be an Asura Hall member. Someone accompanies her, but I have no idea what to do. She presented this token."
Amelia was shocked and took the token. She inspected the token with her spiritual sense, and her brows furrowed. She said, "Take me to her."
Ying Yu nodded and took her to the gathering hall. Hei Lei followed her, usually standing down to wait for her command, but today, he wanted to see who was sent over by his master.
Amelia came to the attending hall, where all the visitors gathered for events. She found the place crowded with outer sect disciples. She frowned and asked a person from the crowd, "What is going on here?"
The disciple was surprised, but Amelia gestured for her not to react too loudly, and the disciple said calmly, "Sect Mistress, the visitor was too cold to Ling Yue. Ling Yue asked her why she pretended to be so high and mighty. Who knew the child would challenge her? They are battling right now."
Hei Lei heard the incident and said, "Madam, Ling Yue might be in trouble."
His voice echoed in Amelia's mind, and she looked at him in surprise. The lightning leopard said, "Xiao Yu came in person to meet you."
Amelia mumbled, "Xiao Yu?"
Her eyes opened wide, and she used her spiritual pressure to part the crowd. She moved close to the center and found a tiny figure fleeting around with an oversized sword in her hand. Ling Yue was using a spear, yet she was at a disadvantage.
Amelia was stunned by Yu Xiedi's display of skills. She looked around and found a figure cloaked in a red and black cloak with a mask on her face. This person was an Immortal Lord. Amelia guessed this must be someone from the upper echelon of the Asura Hall.
She nodded to the person, who clasped their fist and bowed in greeting. Amelia initially wanted to stop the fight but thought it was a good chance for the Asura Hall people to establish their reputation in the sect. However, the more she watched, the more shocked she became; Yu Xiedi was fighting exactly as Shi Lang used to in the federation.
She could not help but smile. When Yu Xiedi was about to defeat Ling Yue, the person from the Asura Hall said, "Xiao Yu, that's enough."
Although they were establishing their reputation, they did not wish to harm the host's confidence. Yu Xiedi pulled back her sword and came to a standstill. She said, "You have a good pace; you only missed out by falling into the loopholes I exposed purposefully."
The little girl clasped her fist and said, "Thank you for your guidance."
Ling Yue was stunned, and Amelia said, "Ling Yue, greet the opponent."
The girl woke up from her thoughts and returned the greeting. Yu Xiedi glanced at Amelia and knelt on the ground as she said, "Yu Xiedi has seen Mistress."
The crowd was shocked; they had not expected this little girl to greet Amelia as her mistress. Amelia waved her hand with a smile. The wave of spiritual energy lifted Yu Xiedi from the ground. She said, "You do not have to be so formal with me, Xiao Yu."
Ying Yu said, "Alright, the show is over now. Go back to your tasks and focus on your cultivations."
The crowd quickly dispersed, and Amelia asked, "Did your master come you to ask here?"
Yu Xeidi shook her head and said, "I sneaked out, but Senior Sister Meimei permitted me to come here with Elder Tang."
Elder Tang walked over and bowed slightly, "Greetings, Sect Mistress Amelia."
Amelia smiled at them and said, "Did he send you here to show how you work?"
Elder Tang nodded and said, "The investigative teams have already set out. If you can arrange a place."
Amelia nodded and said, "Come along."
Then, the lady placed her arm around Yu Xiedi's shoulder and led them to the main hall. Yu Xiedi took a jade bottle from her space ring and said, "Mistress, Senior Sister Meimei sent you a gift."
Amelia smiled and said, "Thank her for me."
She accepted the pill bottle and asked, "How is Xiao Mei?"
Yu Xeidi talked to her briefly as they reached the main hall. The people in the hall knew that someone from the Asura hall had arrived. Amelia gestured for Elder Tang to get to work.
Elder Tang quickly used the spiritual array plates and patched them with the spiritual screens. She looked at Yu Xiedi and said, "Xiao Yu, wanna call it?"
Yu Xeidi thought and said, "Guide me if I am wrong."
