Chapter 861: 861: Scram!
Once the old cultivator and the female cultivator had left after talking with the Immortal Emperor, the scene at the courtyard had resumed its tranquility. Shen Jueyang watches over Yue Xuexia in her process of awakening as the heiress of the Primordial Lightning God. The next morning, everyone who had gathered in the dining hall to eat finally realized new people joining the table. When the children saw Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue, they were delighted. These uncles and aunts were also quite close to them as they were their master’s aides.
"Aunt Tan, Uncle Xue, since when have you arrived?" Yue Huaxue asked.
Tan Bingyu helps with brushing and braiding the little girl’s hair and said, "We arrived last night but you guys are already asleep so we didn’t wake you guys up."
"Children, today you will leave with your grand uncle, Uncle Xue and Aunt Tan to help the Hidden Tang Sect," said Shen Jueyang.
Yue Huashui and the other children looked excited when they heard that they could leave the house. Ever since their master had left for the treasure land and then returned they haven’t been able to come out of this small courtyard. They were afraid of being captured as sentient flower spirits which are completely attractive in the eyes of those who practice pill refinement. Though they are not as precious as ginseng, they still have some properties used for medicine.
If they are with their master they can freely come out and play outside as they wish. Granduncle Lei and Uncle Shen are both powerful but their identities and standing are so well-known that if they show their faces around a few more times their small courtyard would be easily exposed. So they’ve never asked them to let them out to play and watch over them.
Yue Huashui asked, "Uncle Shen, can we truly come out to play?"
"Yes. This time you can with your granduncle. However, don’t forget to absorb their cultivation and try to achieve breakthroughs. You must at least reach the Mahayama realm so you won’t be bullied in this world," said the Immortal Sun Emperor.
The three children nodded their heads and understood that they would be able to leave the small courtyard but only to train, fight enemies and focus on increasing their own cultivation. Seeing the children all excited as if going out into some outing, the Thunder King couldn’t help but laugh. It seems that he truly enjoys the company of these children. He didn’t plan to leave until he had seen that his niece was alright and talked to her once. Seeing that it would take a while before she would come out from that cocoon of hers, he felt that coming out to move around a bit is indeed a way to change the scenery. Moreover, he had always been an outgoing type from the beginning so he cannot stay in one place for too long.
The Immortal Sun Emperor added, "Bingyu, Renxue, there would be two acquaintances that might join the battle. Don’t mistake them as an enemy. They are people from the Black Cloud Academy."
"Is it that late midnight visitor last night?" The Thunder King asked.
Shen Jueyang said, "They are not bad. One is a god king mid grade and the other is a quasi-emperor. If you are going to fight a dozen god kings and a few quasi-emperors they can be useful. At the very least, they didn’t come here to be enemies."
"We will watch over their arrival," said Tan Bingyu.
After eating a heartful meal prepared by the Spirit Chef this morning, Shen Jueyang helped the children prepare. Changing their robes to a battle type one with inscriptions for defense and protection as well as few treasures like escape talisman, teleportation talismans, defensive artifact and even secretly add his blessing on the three children. Only the newly born, Yue Hualei, will not be able to leave with them. In the eyes of the others, he is like a worrisome father who couldn’t feel relief sending his children for their first outing.
The Thunder King, Lei Yuye, said, "Alright stop with all those anxious actions of yours. You are making me uncomfortable. Don’t worry I will protect them well."
"Alright. Don’t hesitate to kill. Since they are enemies no need for mercy," said Shen Jueyan to the children.
Yue Huashui said, "Don’t worry, Uncle Shen! We will not hesitate!"
"Absorb and get stronger!" Yue Huaxue said.
The little toddler, Yue Huajin, was unable to speak as he was sucking the candy in his mouth. Seeing this Shen Jueyang knew that they were all ready. He then went to Tan Bingyu and gave him a jade with the Sun character on it.
The Immortal Sun Emperor said, "Crush the jade if something unexpected happens."
The young couple nod their heads and promise to remember this jade if things had gone out of control during the battle. As for the flying artifact they had to ride on their way back to the Outer Haven, Shen Jueyang can only ask the system to bring out Yue Xuexia’s small flying ship. He had a flying artifact with him but that one had the crest of the Immortal Sun Empire and his identity would be immediately exposed to the Thunder King if he had brought it out. The system agreed for the safety of the children.
Shen Jueyang watched the group leave on the small ship and only when they had floated on the sky and disappeared that he had decided to return to the small courtyard only to be stopped by the Town Master, Shan Xu.
"Lord Shen, the Du Clan staying in the town, had posted a wanted poster of the young couple. What should be done?" Shan Xu asked.
The Immortal Sun Emperor with an expressionless face spread his divine consciousness to find the exact location of those cultivators from the Du Clan and the Fairy race. Ever since the arrival of these two groups, they had been terrorizing the town people and causing chaos here and there. Unfortunately, as the town master, Shan Xu was hopeless as there are more than one god king realm cultivators from the enemy’s side.
After spotting them, he released a bit of his aura and pressure them enough that they questioned their lives. He didn’t directly kill them even if he could after all these are opponents for the children who had left just now.
His voice rang in the whole town saying, {You had caused enough chaos in the town don’t you think? You have an hour to leave the town or you will perish in this place forever. Scram!}
After these words were spoken, the aura that suppressed and even made some people from the Du Clan and the Fairy race puke faded. However, they can still feel the fear of domination just now. They were completely powerless against the owner of that voice.
In the inn within the town...
A few disciples and fairies were laying on the ground coughing blood. Only the quasi-emperor cultivators could barely stand up after that suppression had fallen on them. They were horrified by that experience but it allowed them to realize one thing.
An Emperor!
There is an Emperor realm cultivator living in this small town at the outskirts and their actions had most likely offended this majesty. They were trembling at how this emperor could squash them like a bug for the distance.
"H-Hurry! Leave the town!"
"Don’t linger in this place!"
"Leave immediately if you don’t want to die!"
Upon hearing the anxious voices of the seniors in their group, they realized that the one who had suppressed them was most likely an emperor. Ignoring the pain and internal injuries in their bodies they hurriedly left the inn as if escaping for their lives. They didn’t even care about the things they had left behind.
On the other hand, the confused owner of the inn looked at the swinging door at the entrance of his inn which was broken when all of his guests had run away just now.
"Wait! You haven’t paid your full payment yet!?" The Inn owner wanted to chase only to be stopped by the old butler from the town master’s mansion.
The old butler heard a voice transmission message from his master and knew what happened. He was tasked to stop the inn owner from chasing those people from the Du Clan and the fairy race as they would most likely not come back due to the fear given to them by the Immortal Sun Emperor’s presence.
"Don’t chase. The things they had left behind are all yours. Just take it as payment. These people will not return here," said the old butler. "Lord Shen had made a move. You heard his voice just now didn’t you?"
"So it was Lord Shen, I was shocked when they suddenly fell on the ground face first and started puking blood. I thought they wanted to scam me for money," said the Inn Owner.
The old butler said, "Those people are all cultivators. They should be quite wealthy in those things they had left behind. You can use it to renovate the inn this time."
