Chapter 119
Not even Lord Yi Ming could seal the demon entity. Her remaining days were numbered.
Long feng sympathized with her. How many people who knew that their lives were coming to an end would remain calm and still dream of revenge? In that aspect alone, Li yu'er's will surpassed that of others by a wide margin.
Still, no matter how indifferent she seemed on the outside, who knew how she really felt? In the end, she was still a fifteen year old young lady. Her mental fortitude was already strong for her to act cold and indifferent. Her real feelings were probably in a mess.
Not even Long feng would act so calm when he had less than two years more to live.
If possible, Long feng wanted to help Li yu'er. Alas, he was also helpless. It was next to impossible to remove the demon entity without damaging her foundation.
They had already arrived before the pavilion and Yan Jian knocked on the door and waited. five minutes later, he knocked again.
The situation continued for the next twenty minutes.
"Are you sure she is around?" Long feng finally couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know. She never tells me when she is going out. But if she isn't here, then she can only be with Lord Yi Ming." Yan Jian replied.
"I was planning on going to greet master after meeting Li yu'er. But I guess I will just go." Long feng said.
"I'm coming with you!" Yan Jian declared immediately. "It is not everyday that you get the chance to enter the core court."
Long feng rummaged through his void ring and found the token given to him by Lord Yi Ming. The first time he entered the Core court on his own, he got lost and had a conflict with Han. As a precaution, Lord Yi Ming gave him a token which he could use to enter and exit the Core court. Using the token, he was as good as a core disciple because he was Lord Yi Ming's disciple.
In the sect, Lord Yi Ming's status was below two and above ten thousand. He was only second to the sect master and the vice sect master. His disciples naturally had high status too. Not to talk of the fact that Lord Yi Ming was a soul cultivator. His value to any sect was immeasurable.
Long feng and Yan Jian leisurely entered the Core court like they were taking a stroll in their backyard. The guards couldn't stop them with the token.
It took quite a while for Long feng to verify their direction. He almost got them lost again before they finally arrived at Lord Yi Ming's palace.
As they were about to knock on the door, Lord Yi Ming's voice sounded from within.
"Little brat, I thought you would never return!" His voice was aged and tired.
Long feng beamed.
"Let's go" he pulled Yan Jian and pushed open the palace doors and walked in. The main hall of the palace was as silent and gloomy as ever, like no one ever lived inside. In the center of the hall were four figures seated cross legged; Lord Yi Ming, Li yu'er, and Lord Yi Ming's two other disciples; Lin Dong and Yi Ling.
Li yu'er was seated in front of Lord Yi Ming with her pure white veil as usual.
Lord Yi Ming was making hand seals as his soul power surged and a palm sized formation slowly materialized out of thin air and shot into Li yu'er's chest.
Lord Yi Ming was obviously helping Li yu'er to suppress the demon entity within her dantian.
Lin Dong and Yi Ling both nodded at Long feng who nodded back and sat down.
"If you didn't return, I would have thought that you really ran away." Lord Yi Ming chuckled.
"This disciple was quite busy so I couldn't return earlier." Long feng replied.
Lord Yi Ming nodded.
"Are you injured? Although you have more or less recovered, your energy is still disordered." He observed.
"Nothing escapes master's observation. I had a minor injury, nothing to worry about" Long feng laughed.
"Miss Li" he nodded at Li yu'er.
Li yu'er didn't reply, or she couldn't because she was working with Lord Yi Ming to suppress the demon entity. She couldn't get distracted.
"Hm? Your cultivation has increased considerably. If you keep progressing at this pace, then you might really beat that Han boy within five more months!" Lord Yi Ming said.
Long feng smiled wryly.
"I had some opportunities outside" he replied.
Lord Yi Ming smiled meaningfully and said no more.
The silence lasted for an hour before Lord Yi Ming finally retracted his soul power with a sigh.
"Young lady, we can't continue this way much longer. My seals are becoming more and more useless on you. This old master is incompetent."
Li yu'er shook her head.
"Senior is too polite." She replied.
"If you don't find a way to get rid of that thing, you will really lose your life!" Lord Yi Ming advised then turned to Long feng.
"Little brat, you've come to hide after causing a commotion outside right?" He asked with a smile.
Long feng touched his nose.
"I don't know what master is talking about." He replied.
"You two can go." Lord Yi Ming suddenly spoke to Lin Dong and Yi Ling.
Both of them stood up and walked out.
Then, Lord Yi Ming smiled.
"A few months ago, someone caused a stir throughout the province, even going as far as to trick the Wuma clan and loot their treasury." He said.
Long feng cleared his throat and looked surprised.
"Really? Who has the gut to do that?" He asked.
"The surprising part is that the person cultivates the demon Dao. And he shares the same name as you. Tell me, is that a coincidence?" Lord Yi Ming continued.
Long feng swallowed.
"What a coincidence. Now I really want to meet this person."
Beside him, Yan Jian chuckled.
"Enough pretence. Do you think we don't know that you are the one?" Lord Yi Ming asked.
"M…me? Master, are you perhaps mistaken?" Long feng pretended to be astonished.
Lord Yi Ming laughed.
"Brat, you have the same name, same cultivation, same Dao, and he appeared immediately after you left the sect. If this old master can't figure out that you are the same person, then I would have lived my two hundred years in vain!"
