Reports in Purple Phoenix Palace
There was a brief moment before a chop came down on my head. This didn't feel bad but it didn't feel good either.
"Why must you cause such a scene! Come home normally, why don't you?" Palace Master Feng said, before turning her hand to palm down and gently patted my head. "Though you did get some gains in your cultivation. It seems that you have worked hard over there." She continued.
"This Disciple was wrong, this Disciple only just comprehended the ability that caused the loud clap. This Disciple learned while pulling Senior Brothers and Sisters along. So This Disciple didn't realize that it had such a disturbing effect." I said. "Also, I wanted to see Master Fng again. It's been a few years since I went to the Void Temple." I added, enjoying the feeling my Master gave me.
"You Disciple Xiang, speak. Is what my Disciple said the truth?" Master Feng said, giving a glare over to Senior Brother Xiang.
Senior Brother Xiang and the others all stood up quickly and cupped their hands then bowed respectfully. "Reporting to the Palace Master, This Disciple Xiang can confirm that Junior Brother Wang had indeed just now comprehended this ability." Senior Brother Xiang answered quickly.
"I see, so why did you all take a ride? Could it be you wished to take advantage of my darling Disciple?" Master Feng said, pulling me close almost as if she was my mother.
I, of course, enjoyed this closeness. It had been a long time since I was close to her like this. Her scent was calming and soothing to me. She had been the one to take care of me since I was young so it was only natural that her Scent and touch would set me at ease.
"Reporting to the Palace Master, Junior Brother offered to take us back with his speed. However, only a short time passed, then we all arrived here. The trip that would take about two days with mine and Brother Xiang's Speed was covered in what felt like a mere instant." Senior Sister Xun explained. She then explained the remainder of the situation that caused the incident.
"I see, so then. It seems like my Disciple was too impatient to come home and tried to push his fellow Disciples beyond their limits. Good! You should all learn from this. My Disciple Wang An Leiji was accepted by the Void Temple. Not only was he accepted, but he was the first to receive its blessings. Naturally a talent like him has a unique perspective. So everyone should follow such an example. Perhaps one day in the future you will also be one of those chosen by the Void Temple." Master Feng said with nobility behind her words.
"We will heed the Palace Masters Words of wisdom!" The Disciples all Resounded.
"Now then, I should congratulate you two on your… difficult promotion. I, the Purple Phoenix Palace Master, will not go against the heavens. Disciple Xiang and Disciple Xun, are now a married couple. I trust their masters will understand and accept this as well."
Over to the side two older cultivators in the Origin King Realm or higher bowed politely. "We dare not go against the heavens. We masters are thankful to the heavens for seeing our disciples union." The two of them nodded in approval.
"Master, I have a matter I must report to Master and the Elders." I said, now that the situation has changed it was the right time to bring it up.
It needed to be brought up as soon as possible. The Dao Source Realm Yuan Lao had brought the information back but a matter like that waited for no one. It also isn't something an Emperor Realm is going to involve themselves in lightly. It's truly not something to be trifled with.
"Good, let's go and speak about this matter." Master Feng said, realizing what it was.
~~In the Main Meeting Hall of Purple Phoenix Palace~~
"Everyone is here now. So please begin." Master Feng said.
"I still find it a bit on the difficult side to accept that this Disciple is the one that brought us such dark information." An Elder sighed.
"Indeed, such infernal and hellish things are not things a child should be forced to see. Let alone be on the receiving end." Another Elder sighed heavily.
"There is no sense in worrying about this now. In any case it seems that there is more to be revealed." The Vice Master said.
"Elders are indeed correct! I have a thought about this matter. I don't believe that the local Sect is capable of suppressing such a force." I said, with my hands cupped.
"Disciple Wang means to say that the strength of the city lord over there is not enough?" Another Elder asked, in an attempt for clarification.
"Back when I was fighting the Taboo Brothers in the Mountain Forest with my Senior Brothers and Sisters. I felt a similar evil intention as the Evil pervert I killed on the way to the Mountain Forest. During that battle… The one who escaped had said his peak 3rd Order Emperor will take over the world. I'm worried that the encounters are not mutually exclusive. So I would like to ask the Master and the Elders to mobilize some intelligence gathering on this issue. I will also bring this matter to the Void Temple and have the masters there investigate there. Though…" I said, explaining my first hand view.
Master Feng cut me off. "Disciple means that it would be easier for an already established Sect to mobilize a network. This is because while the Void Temple is good, it is still a newly established force." She said, filling in the blank.
"If this is indeed the case. Then that evil sect is likely to have many more masters." An Elder groaned.
"Not only this. But I wouldn't put it past them to have established bases along major trade routes and work with the bandits." I added, speaking from experience.
"Good, this Master will begin looking into this matter. You should go back and cultivate well. There may be a few battles in the future. So go and inform the Void Temple Master. From there the Elders of various Sects will be able to learn of this matter. Good luck." Master Feng said, before kicking me out of the room.
After this I bowed and flew back to the Void Temple. It only took a moment as I used my new Thunder Port travel ability.
