Chapter 11

The cultivator threw the man to the sky and he jumped towards him.

SheJin moved from where he was standing toward the scene to get a closer view.

As much as he tried to think about it, this portion the original novel did exist but the cultivator was fighting a female maid from the palace ,who wore colours like everyone else . And both of them were fighting not just it being one sided like this.

The frantic intention in the cultivator s eyes seemed to burn his sockets . With every second he spent flying to the sky, he seemed like he wanted to decapitate his opponent.

Four seconds later they were apair. Childe Zhao started to send heated punches to his unwavering opponent. The degree that he beat up this man is shocking that the man didn't explode since these punches were been delivered to miscellaneous points to the man .

Thanks to this unidirectional punching, the man was being tossed and thrown like a ball. At one point the man was punched so much he throw further away backwards

The cultivator summoned his whip that layed on the ground. As the whip quickly responded to its master, it gained lighting speed and with that it flew towards him. Instead of catching it , he aggressively waved his hand in front of himself thereby compelling the weapon to do the same. The effect of which would cause the whip to slice through the man s face dividing it to half

However that was a perfect execution gone wrong. lt looked as if the south sect cultivator had shaking precision but that is not the truth. The reason was that but the man softly shifted his face and then let the shifting flow to the rest of his body thus repositioning himself in such away that he was winding up falling towards the ground.

This last action was very quick but SheJin saw everything in slow motion sort of like time was slowed down on purpose so that he picked up that part where the man is not touched by the deranged whip, thanks to his ability to be stealthy a few steps ahead of his enemy.

Due to this insight of things , SheJin s dread and concern for the man subsided as quick as it metamorphosed.

The cultivator quickly followed the man as he fell and continued to punch him so much so that the man was being sent down by those punches.

SheJin was more inclined to pay attention to this seemingly dangerous episode. He squinted his eyes to the scene.

There are a lot of things one would expect to see when they saw this but what SheJin saw was far from imaginable. The cultivator was not even touching the man!! His fists were only inches away from his flesh. And the area between the two looked very much heavily drenched with wave like things similar to those of a blazing sunny day.

How is this all possibly happening?

SheJin focused so much on that fact that he felt his eyes start to burn credit to how much he was trying to pick up the minute details.

The cultivator threw a final punch to the man s chest and sent him to the ground.

The man hit the ground and made a large impact indenting the ground.

Once again,the slowed down version SheJin saw before the man impacted the ground was surrealistically bizarre.

The ground became indented way before he touched it such that all he did was land in an indented print of his body which probably won't be as painful,had he really made the grove on the ground with his body

While SheJin was still bewildered by this, the cultivator landed over the man and kneeled over him.

He raised his fist to the man

As his fist was on the air, it caught silver fire and immediately he aimed it towards the man s face.

Before he could do anything, his arm was suddenly pulled into the air and suspended there.

When he got surprised, his other hand followed the same pattern.

In five seconds, his body was lifted into the sky, the cultivator s body started to spin , sort of like his body was be unraveled.

As for the man on the ground, purple threads emerged over his body as such he was without a doubt restricted . On the other hand, Zhao s whip was allowed to float.

Everyone stood in amazement and that is when they noticed the sect leaders floating with hands in prayer poses

Who else but them could be responsible for what is happening?

The young cultivator, was out of nowhere suddenly wrapped in a golden thread from head to toe , which explains why he was spinning in the air like he was being wrapped by spider webs

This invisible thread is a courtesy of the South sect obviously. Plus the other sect masters are forbidden to touch the disciples of another sect especially in the presence of his sect master unless really necessary. So it seemed fit that the south sect master be the one to apprehend his student.

As for the weapon,it was contained by another sect master as it is very reasonable implication to approach with caution even the weapon very much innocent

The man was held down by the west sect master. It is really heartless to constrain a victim but that is not what he is doing. He is placing a stabilizer around him sort of like putting him under intensive care. The closer the purple streaks are to his body the more his acupoints can be treated if they are affected . So it's necessary to do this as attacked by activated demon cultivation weapon and beaten by a very angry disciple of the reputed South sect , who have some the country's best external martial arts trainers

That being said, two elements remained suspended in the air and the sect masters floated into the battle field.

SheJin was flabbergasted , confused and conflicted. Should he say something? But then again how can he prove anything he had just seen? What if he was hallucinating? But that is unlikely to hallucinate something like that.

The young cultivator was lowered down and as that happened, his fellow sect trainers rushed in. However they were not there to comfort him.

Two immediately created four leaves and placed each at his head, toes , over his abdomen and under his back. The leaves connected and formed rings with their opposite alternative. Though it's not many leaves, the resulting cage was still be a very corrosive.

LiuHe and ShaLi walked to the weapon . LiuHe checked for dark energy using one of the strips that they always bring with them. The paper is blue in color and reacts by a color change should there be any other kind of energy. However this strip only became even more blue, which is not really a useful result

MeiYang and DeJang walked in towards the man on the ground but obviously not at the same time or the same direction. They haven't just arrived at the fight scene. It's just that they have been watching everything from the shadows , so they now decided to intervene.

DeJang stood there and his eyes had changed colour to full pale brown, an effect that terrified most people but it was short-lived so they were excused

MeiYang squatted next to the man and placed his hand over his abdomen, sending a blue ray through him. He moved the ray a couple of centimeters before he withdrew his hand and raised his eyes to his sect master who was still closing his eyes..

"Childe Zhao Yang, is he ...", one of the cultivators hesitated to ask the condition of the man on the ground because he doesn't want it to come from his mouth that his sect brother possibly assaulted someone to the brick of death.

"He is going to need invasive internal body repair" he answered and looked to DeJang.

" He doesn't have the 'mard ' ", he sarcastically answered. He knows they could already see that there is no bad pneuma so they wanted to confirm that. Or maybe they were hoping he says that there is

" Then what is it? Childe Zhao SuYen would not attack him for no reason", answered one of the cultivators .

" Zhao NiWan is correct", the other one spoke but SheJin could not deduce who he was.

MeiYang stood up and he looked to LiuHe who was starring at SuYen. When LiuHe turned to look to MeiYang, his eyes were already implanted solemnly on SuYen.

Though it never means anything , LiuHe is very discomforted by the way MeiYang looks at others intensely like the way he is looking at SuYen. MeiYang has those hypnotizing eyes. So him looking with such intensity towards someone seems like he is trying to see his soul. And it always feels unfair that he is attempting to do that for others except him.

These three tail MeiYang like ducklings but like every team, there is always that one who has a little extra special spot for the team leader . And one guilty of such intense sense of brotherhood that can sometimes be more than that, is Zhao LiuHe

MeiYang and LiuHe are not in anyway related, and the first time they met was when LiuHe came to the sect at the age of six and MeiYang was about three.

LiuHe seemed very introverted until later it revealed that he had speech-delay as he was abandoned at the age two and lived in the stable of a rich aristocrat . As such he was deprived of proper schooling and childhood .It was only when he came to the sect that he learnt everything from talking to reading and writing .

LiuHe also didn't have a name at the time so the sect trainers are the ones who named him.

By rule, when a trainee is accepted into the sect , the have to forfeit they names and gain that of the sect. It is sort of their second identify. But that was sort of an exception for LiuHe

With time, LiuHe started to socialize and it turns out he is a very entertaining character. No one can trace it when perfectionist MeiYang and white butterfly LiuHe became a little less than strangers but that is the case. And it seems the distance between them shortens with progress of time.

SuYen was very still and quiet like an infant,in his cage. But he was still awake and breathing normally.

Liu Bingwen instructed DeJang to take the man inside and observe him.

DeJang looked to ShaLi and LiuHe to help him create a seal.

ShaLi reluctantly obeyed DeJang. He outstretched his hands and formed horizontal lines. LiuHe made vertical lines then intersected them onto those of ShaLi.

DeJang protruded his hands and they changed to series of birds that went over to pick the body of the sleeping man off the ground.

The birds then carried the body onto the mesh of lines. Immediately after ShaLi created a cover over the body and LiuHe stuck a blue strip over the container.

" Good luck", DeJang answered and he turned towards the corridor.

" Where are you going?", Liu Bingwen asked

" I have an appointment with Brother Zhao and his friend ", he answered while looking to LiuHe.

DeJang is not blind to the Zhao sect s beautiful members and like with everyone else he enjoys teasing him. So he was sort of hoping to get a reaction if he found him looking at him. Too bad he was looking to the sleeping man. Better luck next time.

" where is Zhao ErYuan and Zhao YuFen?", MeiYang asked his cousin who shook his head . MeiYang then shifted his eyes to LiuHe

LiuHe while looking to SuYen said ErYuan was with the royal family and last he last saw YuFen at seal formation. With those words MeiYang turned towards his father

These two are quite interesting to watch. MeiYang acts like wall and LiuHe acts like water always flexible to MeiYang s nature. He adjust to accommodate for MeiYang. If he is angry LiuHe will be distant, when MeiYang is happy LiuHe will try to socialize with him. If MeiYang is busy, LiuHe will stay out of the way.

DeJang stormed out of the place without binding farewell .

He evaporated into a cloud of birds and headed in the direction of the town market.

MeiYang turned and bowed to his father and said that he will follow DeJang as he thinks he is onto something. He can be exotic but he seldom jokes when it comes to serious business.

" NiWan and ShaLi , take the man. HaoRan, take SuYen back and LiuHe will go find YuFen.", LongWei instructed and he headed towards the guards.

Everyone dispersed to the task they were assigned after bowing for respect.

MeiYang waited for his father and other sect masters to leave.

He turned towards the direction that DeJang went and he heard footsteps following behind him.

" I was told to find YuFen and YuFen has an appointment with Brother DeJang ,so that is where am going", he spoke confidently , smiling and intentionally trying to tantalize MeiYang, only to have his plan backfire because MeiYang s confused face is more graceful than a bouquet of magnolias in early spring.

He walked past MeiYang ,with his hand behind his back and he jumped onto the rooftops.

MeiYang placed his hand on his neck and massaged it a little, periodically scratching it.

" It's going to bruise if you do that", someone answered behind MeiYang making him quickly turn.
