Chapter 735 Titan Envoys (2)
?Lan Xiang did not expect the War Maiden Sect to show him such aggression. He knew their sects were almost equally matched, but the War Maiden Sect was known for its calm attitude. He clenched his fist at Amelia's declaration.
He asked, "What gives you the courage to say that to me?"
Amelia smiled and replied, "The fact that I can invoke the sect defense array and then the Immortal Sovereigns and Emperors here can kill you in the name of self-defense because you barged in our land. The fact that Martial Alliance will stand beside us in the hearing gives me the courage to call you out, Sect Master Lan. If you finish your act, please leave and do not make any other shady move in the territory of War Maiden Sect. As you know, we carry War in our name."
The grand elder beside her nodded. She completely supported Amelia's decision. The rest of the people rushed over from the outside by now, and they heard what Amelia said; some young women even held their swords to jump into action when Amelia commanded them.
Lan Xiang looked at the situation; he was a barbarian but not a fool. After weighing the pros and the cons, he flicked his sleeves and said, "Fine then, I shall have my people wait for you in the Centurion Tournament."
That said, he opened a void tunnel and vanished from the place. The atmosphere calmed down, and Amelia finally slacked her shoulders as she wobbled around. Her nose bled, and just when she was about to lose her footing, Grand Elder appeared beside her and grabbed her arm.
She said, "Xiao Ying, take her to rest. The toll of suffering the pressure of an Immortal Sovereign is not low. She is exhausted. Get her to rest."
Ying Yu nodded, and with the help of another lady, she brought the unconscious Amelia to her room. The grand elder narrowed her eyes, and her aura became cold. Every person looked at her, and the old lady said, "Flower Sword, increase the security of the sect. All the disciples attending the Centurion Tournament will train with me in the Forbidden Valley. They have to kill the Titans or die trying."
Flower Sword was shocked, and the disciples took a deep breath. They could not help but shiver at the thought of stepping inside the forbidden valley. Amelia was the only one who had been there and was the strongest in her realm. They all feared her terrifying skills and knew it was all the result of training in the Forbidden Valley.
Although people wished to be like their idols, when they got a chance, they feared if they could see things through. However, the grand elder was not in the mood to give them any chance to back off and said, "All of you, report to the valley entrance by midnight. Dismissed."
War Maiden Sect had thrown down the gauntlet. They were going to War with the Titan sect. The barbarians will be met with a force they would not expect.
...
Tie Gang was elated. The help of the Dragon Army champion meant a good thing for his plans. He hurriedly caught up to the bone thrown at him. He nodded and said, "I greatly appreciate this favor, Your Excellency. Thank you for your benevolence."
Tian Long waved his hand and replied, "We should help each other when possible. Do not mention it. However, I wonder if anything will turn up because if the people of the Zhu Family cannot do anything to detect the thief, then I wonder if anyone else could."
Tie Gang nodded and said, "We can only hope for the best, Your Excellency."
Tian Long nodded, gazing at Zither Soul, "Shall we go?"
The lady nodded and gazed at Shi Lang, "You better take care of yourself. Do not miss out on your practice. The tournament is close, understood?"
Shi Lang smiled at her, even though she spoke sternly, but her eyes were gentle. He replied, "I understand, Your Excellency. Please be safe on your way."
He stood up and bowed to her gently. The lady nodded, then vanished from the spot with Tian Long. Shi Lang looked around the crowd and said, "Alright, guys, it's over. You should get back to your tasks."
The crowd dispersed, and Shi Lang gestured for the two guests to take a seat. The people sat down, and Shi Lang served them tea. Tie Gang asked, "May I ask what caused the Sovereign to come over?"
Shi Lang smiled and replied, "The issue with the Zhu Family caused a lot of unrest, and the City Lord told them not to behave. Pavilion Master Yang reported the issue to His Excellency, and he came over."
Tie Gang nodded and took a sip from his cup. Yun Tian asked, "Brother Ace, what happened to you earlier?"
Shi Lang raised his brow, and Tie Gang scolded Yun Tian, "Xiao Tian, it is not nice to ask such questions."
Yun Tian quickly apologized, but Shi Lang shook his head and said, "Elder Sister pointed out a few things, and I found them helpful, so I was cultivating. The vortex of spiritual energy was caused by me trying to control the energy around me."
He was not a fool to tell them about his enlightenment. He changed the topic quickly, cutting off their chance to probe more, "Can you tell me, senior, how shall we approach the investigation?"
Tie Gang nodded and said, "I will take Yun Tian to the Zhu Family mansion. You can come over there in the morning. Help Yun Tian check through the scene and see if you find any peculiarities."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "I will arrive in the morning. In the meantime, Brother Yun, please leave me with your spiritual trace. I will contact you in the morning only."
