Chapter 13:Ms. Qi

It all happened very quickly, Tian Shuangmen's fist smashed into the left side of Yan Yuhua's face, who even though he could see all the time what had happened, still could not quite believe it.

His cultivation was superior, his ancestry was superior, and yet, even though he had humiliated and disdained not only the Mu clan but also everyone else he had met so far, why was he now flying into the fist of such a scum?

Her power, her status... even her sex couldn't stop Tian Shuangmen from punching her in the face... which made her lights go out all at once.

Her body flew backwards just as Mu Xiaoqi had flown through the walls, but because of the strength she imbued in her at the time she definitely went beyond through screens and other walls....

The roar ended and for a few seconds no one spoke... until the hysterical shriek of the Yan clan elders broke the silence...

-Great Miss!...-the old woman without a second thought, rushed forward at full speed towards the hole left by Yan Yuhua's body to break through the walls, disappearing relatively quickly in pursuit of her.

However, of the two, the old man was much more expressive.

-Bastard!...today I will take your life!..." Yan's old man did not give it much thought either, but instead of worrying about Yan Yuhua, his explosive aura burned with intensity, sending a strong suppression towards Tian Shuangmen who at that moment frowned as he shrank on the spot.

What he had done, he certainly did without worrying about the risks, but he had no regrets either, if someone tried to intimidate the people who had benefited him so much, he would not hold back, no matter who it was.

Yan's old man furiously circulated his aura within his body and rushed like a tidal wave towards the figure of Tian Shuangmen, who this time could not resist, the old man's cultivation was much higher than his own, he could not show himself superior to Yan Yuhua again.

-It seems that this is as far as my mysterious advantage goes," he thought as he flexed his legs and prepared for the first attack, he had no idea what the deal was with his cultivation, but it had already become perfectly clear to him that he was not like the common denominator of the people.

His cultivation was actually of the third level of the opening realm, however, his battle power was many times more than that...

Yan's old man did not hold back a bit and his furious energy rushed into his fist as he struck towards Tian Shuangmen's still distant chest, confident that with all his power, it would be enough to make mincemeat out of him.

And indeed, Tian Shuangmen saw how, from the old man's fist, an immense wave of profound power unfolded in front of him, threatening to engulf him whole, and the surface of the floor on which that power was advancing was shredded and shrapnel flew everywhere...!

In fact, it would not be enough to kill him with one blow, but it would still hurt him a lot....

But, just when Sebastian thought he would end up badly hurt, Feng's back appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, as the old man raised his fist to his eye level...and his body burned with red auric power to its limits, still reaching and surpassing all the impact that Yan's old man's energy could make, hurling his fist against the tide of force that stood before them both...

Boom!

Boom!

The area in their surroundings was crushed by a momentary pressure before the ground beneath the feet of both elders sank a few centimetres, as their colliding fists released a powerful shockwave that scattered everything around them.

Tian Shuangmen felt his body being hit by a sledgehammer and inevitably shot against one of the walls, being momentarily pinned there.

-Tsk Tsk, you despicable old thing, what happened?...as the disciple of this one hit the young girl of your clan you suddenly lost your senses?...wasn't it a meeting between the people of the young generation?...-proclaimed the old butler while smiling mockingly.

-Shut up!...that trash hit my lady's face!...just touching him is an unforgivable sin!...he's even a man!...- said Yan's elderly protector.

Feng denied with a laugh, although the blow that Sebastian gave to Yan Yuhua's face had been unsightly and a little shameless, in a battle of cultivators, it could only be counted as a simple setback, within that he even found it laughable that Yan's girl was left unconscious after that, it simply contrasted a lot with his image of talent in the Yan clan....

-It's not this old man's disciple's fault that your lady couldn't tolerate a single blow despite all the rubbish he spat out...besides...I'd really like to see you try to take this one's disciple's life with me here, before you depended on that other old thing to suppress me, but now I'll beat you blue and purple!

With an explosive shout, Feng and the Yan elder began to fight in front of the eyes of Sebastian, who had quickly detached himself from the wall, wiping his mouth a bit.

At this moment he was more and more certain that Feng, who called himself his master possessed more individual strength than those elders who came with Yan Yuhua and in fact he had already discovered that everything that had happened had been by surprise...otherwise how could they compare with the fierce elder?

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ahh-

From one moment to the next and as if following Tian Shuangmen's thoughts, Feng really had almost immediately suppressed Yan's old man, and knowing the old butler's vicious attitude, he was not surprised to see how he had made Yan's old man kneel down and stand up, while holding his neck, his free fist crashed again and again into the bare face of the old man who had wanted to kill him before, he had not even been able to stop it a little, his cultivation and deep strength barely able to hold back a little of the force with which he was hitting him.

His head swelled up in an ugly way and in fact his eyes became small and his face swollen, looking like a pig.

Feng did not seem to want to stop himself from relieving the hatred in his heart for the provocations he had received while being held by the old men, however, just as he was beginning to feel at ease with the sensation of his knuckles wet with the blood of Yan's old man, a mellifluous voice resounded.

-That's enough...

That alone cooled the fighting spirits of all present.

As they looked up, they saw one of the women who directly served the owner of the pavilion, Lord Qi, descending from the sky, perched atop a complex light formation, letting him feel through her veil how she held all present in her grasp.

Her arrival curiously, by fortune or disaster, coincided with the return of the Yan clan elder, holding the unconscious Yan Yuhua in her arms and her weapon in her other hand, holding back even a scream when she saw the elder accompanying her in Feng's hand, his face dripping with blood and looking like a pig.

For his part, Tian Shuangmen frowned fiercely, it couldn't be that Lord Qi would send his servant to defend the Yan clan, could it?

In the event that something like that happened, they simply could not come out unscathed, only because he could feel how Feng had reservations at the sight of the maid, and that is because the old man could take on a maid, but not the entire conglomerate that was the commercial entity, he simply could not afford to offend them, even if the Mu family had bases in the capital at most, they would not bother with a small family branch?

With that in mind he could tell why the butler's subdued calm, he was unwilling to offend an entity that could bring death to the Mu Clan.

-This Feng greets Miss Lord Qi's assistant...may I ask what business you have with this little exchange," he interjected politely, clenching his fists together.

For her part, the old woman burst into angry shouts when she heard how Feng spoke up, pointing an inquisitive finger at them.

-I pray for justice for my miss!...that shameless pair of disciple and master beat my husband and my great miss in a disloyal manner!....

-You old lying thing," Tian Shuangmen shouted in reply, "your scum of a husband and miss wanted to bully the Mu clan people, I only defended us, how dare you say it wasn't loyal the way me and Feng beat them up?...like when your miss beat up my friends you didn't even fart?!

-You!...-The old woman's face reddened and she trembled with rage because the way Sebastian insulted them she couldn't rebuke him as it was the truth, but to keep quiet was to leave her shamelessness exposed, so it was even worse.

For his part, even though Mu Xilei had long since retired and was now watching over Mu Xiaoqi, he still couldn't help but laugh at the way Tian Shuangmen had somehow absorbed some of Feng's character.

Those six months of beatings at the hands of the old man had certainly shaped his character.

-I really cannot, as a servant of Lord Qi, take one side or the other in this dispute....

-That's right...after all it took place in the Legal Combat Stage," added Tian Shuangmen, "but then why is she here?

The mysterious servant descended until she was level with the ground.

-It is clear that disputes between cultivators within Lord Qi's Pavilion are somewhat unavoidable, hence the origin of this legal Combat Stage, in which they can iron out their differences without disturbing the peace of others in this building," continued the woman before appearing behind Tian Shuangmen... with a speed that no one could perceive... however, what Lord Tian did definitely violated the rules of Lord Qi's Pavilion...

Tian Shuangmen had not even been able to react to the speed at which the woman appeared behind him, when he felt how a strange and unpleasant force coated his skin and limbs, tightening like ropes that restricted his movements with a screeching sound...

The smiles on the faces of Yan's elders were noticeable, even on the old pig-faced one...

Feng frowned fiercely but immediately understood differently from Mu Xilei, who stood up abruptly and exclaimed, "But Tian Shuangxi, you've got to be the one to do it.

-But Tian Shuangmen did not leave the Legal Combat Stage at any time!... he even attacked once.

-Indeed, he attacked only once, but that one time was enough to cause a great deal of damage beyond the Stage of Lawful Combat...that was enough for Lord Qi to want to apply a quota of punishments on this individual here....

"Shit...!" thought Sebastian, however, even though he felt how those ropes restricted his deep inputs and restricted his cultivation, as strange as it was, he still couldn't utter half a letter of complaint.

-This...

-We understand Lord Qi's motives...we can't really argue anything," Feng spoke loudly, while automatically preventing Mu Xilei from speaking....

Even though he was ruthless, and knowing that it was very likely that now his "disciple" would disappear just like that, he really couldn't help it, being the oldest of those present except for Yan's family elder duo, he still had the concept by which the world was governed fresh in his mind.

The strong eat the weak

If the maid wanted to take Tian Shuangmen away, what could they do about it... with their total forces in the entire city of the Emerald Dusk, certainly nothing.

In these moments, part of the usefulness of having an eccentric cultivator was demonstrated, the ease with which he could disengage and lessen damage, hence he prevented Mu Xilei from speaking for Tian Shuangmen, instructing him to keep silent.

For his part, Tian Shuangmen sighed inwardly.

Even though he had somehow looked kindly on the old man and felt a little pained by his current reaction... he was still no fool and understood him.

Whatever happened to him, if they leapt to his defence, the Mu family branch in the Emerald Dusk city would suffer more losses than just a cultivator they had favoured a little.

This truth was as absolute as the fact that he could not escape, and having died once and then almost twice, he understood that if it had to happen, there was nothing that could prevent it.

In that sense, he also gained something else that was almost non-existent in that world, the lack of fear of death....

Mu Xilei had a helpless look on his face, even though he didn't like Tian Shuangmen, his existence still meant help for the Mu Clan, and on the other hand, the only reason why someone as uncaring as him would mess with someone like Yan Yuhua, was only for her sake, to defend her and Mu Xiaoqi from his abuse.

Being as he was, he couldn't help but feel helpless and anguish.

For their part, Yan's elders were ecstatic...there was simply no reason why they shouldn't be, that scum who had beaten their miss would now probably die without being able to do anything about it, just as the Mu Clan could not save him.

With Tian Shuangmen in her power, the maid felt that her presence was unnecessary and wrapping herself in her cloak she disappeared from everyone's sight.

Ignoring now what would happen to the others in her absence, a thought settled in Tian Shuangmen's mind...

Survive

Although he was not afraid of dying, neither was he willing to wait patiently for death, in fact he had not stopped for a moment to try to understand the strange force that bound and restrained him so powerfully.

As he was carried like a sack in the maid's grip, Sebastian determined that at the first opportunity he would use everything he could, every chance, his rare cultivation, the slightest opening, even the poor copy he made of Mu Xilei's displacement technique would be useful, his intention to live was clear.

As he looked around, he discovered that the maid was moving through the floors of the tower like a ghost, her running footsteps didn't make a sound and none of the people passing by noticed the closer they passed them.

On the other hand, even when travelling at such speeds, too high even for Feng's cultivation, and the servant did not seem agitated when she moved, Sebastian could even sense a faint trace of anxiety.

Wherever she was taking him, there was an enormous rush to do so....

Towards the end, with him in her grip, she climbed to the top floor of the pagoda that was the Pavilion, and entered a doorway at the bottom of the top level...where two more maids were stationed at the sides of the entrance to a chamber....

-I'm sorry to interrupt the teacher's meal, but I've brought a...

-There is no need..." said one of the other maidservants, "she is dissatisfied since that Lan Zhao was not really useful... this eccentric little cultivator could both heal her insecurity and be of more use to her..." she commented a little relieved.

Tian Shuangmen furrowed his eyebrows mightily, among the few things he managed to understand, he already knew that he had been watched, hence that uncomfortable feeling the whole time he was in the tower!

On the other hand, Lan Zhao?...what use could he be to the person those women call master?....

Regardless of how their expressions twisted at the questions that arose, the servants paid no attention to him, they simply dealt with him as if they were moving a commodity or a simple object, their faces not even glancing at him once more before the one who carried him entered the jealously guarded chamber.

And there inside, Sebastian furrowed his brows even more in surprise.

Inside, though it was huge and luxurious, every tile of the floor and the ornate columns, it was still horribly shocking to be in, simply because of the spectacle he was treated to once he entered.

A sort of mummy wrinkled by the ages was suspended in the air, surrounded by a celestial gas that enclosed it in a luminous sphere, and on the floor, there was a sinister woman who breathed and continuously absorbed a thin strand of the celestial gas emitted by the sphere with the mummy.

-I have brought the eccentric cultivator on whom you had your eye," said the maid respectfully, as she knelt Tian Shuangmen down.

When Sebastian was laid at her feet, the woman opened her eyes, in which a terrifying black space could be seen as a smile spread across her lips.

Even though she could be considered beautiful, with those features and her good body, Tian Shuangmen could still guess that she was not a human woman at all, but rather another monster, similar to the one who had chased him in the past.

Just by looking at him, a heavy pressure was emitted from the woman's body and crushed down on Tian Shuangmen, who this time could not really resist being restrained from before by the maid and his back buckled, with the boy being flattened on the ground like a sack, unable to move.

That pressure, it was not something that many people could resist, and in fact, he even looked a little stronger than Mu Huanzhi, he gave off at least that feeling!

How high would his cultivation have to be?

Otherwise, Tian Shuangmen's heart was already racing.

He said to himself that the only person no one had ever seen was the owner of the pavilion, Lord Qi, because he was never willing to receive anyone.

And sensing the strength, in addition to the fact of the helpful attitude of the sinister women who had brought him, Sebastian had deduced something, being somehow certain that the powerful woman in front of him was in fact Lady Qi.
