Chapter 235: Welcome to Na Clan

Na Li Yang led Lu Zheng into the hall where a bunch of people sat. They sat around a round table and had similar cultivation bases. They were Sky realm experts.

The Sky realm elders showed surprise seeing an unknown person join them.

Na Li Yang gestured for Lu Zheng to sit beside him before facing the rest: "Now that we are all here, let's begin the meeting. I will not beat around the bush. Clan Head has decided to make Lu Zheng here an external elder of our Na Clan"

One of the Sky realm elders was surprised: "The Clan Head spoke with you directly? Isn't he suffering from his backlash?"

Another one spoke up: "Why would he make the decision of making a lone martial practitioner an external elder without confirming with us?"

The Sky realm elders spoke together in annoyance that the meeting became rowdy. After a while, a man who looked like he was still in his forties cleared his throat and spoke up.

"Li Yang, have the Clan Head's injuries been cured?"

"Hmm. Lu Zheng sold us many rank eight ice path cultivation materials. Not only have his injuries healed, his cultivation base has risen and he has broken through to the second tier of Void Passage realm"

"Second tier of Void Passage realm? When was that? I didn't even notice the sound of tribulation" The elders were surprised by the information.

Lu Zheng smiled inwardly as he gazed at the elders. They revealed weird expressions and only a few were truly happy.

Lu Zheng knew that there were factions in every righteous path force. In Na Clan, Na Li Bo's faction was the strongest and if he continued to grow in strength, the other factions would be supressed.

Although Na Li Bo's revitalisation was a good thing for Na Clan overall, it did not align with their individual interests.

Eventually, the elders sighed and gave Lu Zheng a 'sincere' look.

"Welcome to our Na Clan, External Elder Lu"

…..

Lu Zheng's body moved swiftly through the wind as he used a weird footwork. As he flew, he couldn't help but recall Na Clan's matter.

After the meeting with the board of elders, Na Clan made an alliance agreement with Lu Zheng to make him their external elder. As he was a traveller, the alliance agreements were loose.

There was a small celebration and Na Li Yang announced the news to all of Na Clan. Only after he spent another day in Na Village was he allowed to leave.

It did not take long before Lu Zheng reached Bai Xi Mountain where it all started. Lu Zheng did not join Na Clan on a whim. He truly wished to develop Na Clan to the extent where it could stand against super forces on its own.

This was because the third fragment of his aperture was sealed in Xiong Mountain which was owned by Xiong Clan. Xiong Clan was a super clan with an Extent realm expert leading them. They were very strong.

Even if Lu Zheng was strong, he could not attack Xiong Clan directly. If he did, he would become a demonic path martial practitioner.

Lu Zheng did not care about such tags.

What he was worried about was that he would incite the attraction of the other righteous path forces and become a public enemy.

This could hamper his movements and growth.

The best course of action was to use Na Clan as a spear to attack Xiong Clan. The righteous path was full of hypocrites. If Lu Zheng attacked Xiong Clan, he was a demonic path martial practitioner but if Na Clan did it, they were in the right.

This was the rule of the righteous path.

In the four regions, it was very subtle but in Central Continent, righteous path forces had the greatest strength.

Lu Zheng cleared his mind of useless thoughts and entered Xue Ritian's aperture fragment.

The scenery around Lu Zheng changed and soon, Lu Zheng was inside the aperture fragment. Lu Zheng's Sea of Consciousness spiralled out of his Soul Lake before enveloping the entire aperture fragment.

The aperture fragment was incredibly large and normally, Lu Zheng's Sea of Consciousness could not cover it entirely but this time, he had the support of the aperture.

Different sights formed in Lu Zheng's mind. The leaves dancing gently in the wind, two rank seven beasts fighting over a mate, astral lightning quills flying rapidly, it was breath taking.

Soon, Lu Zheng could sense Zuo Xiuzhen who was in seclusion. Lu Zheng removed his soul presence so he wouldn't affect her cultivation and cause a backlash for her.

As his Sea of Consciousness spread, he sensed more of the aperture fragment. He sensed Houyan Meili's life aura. Like Zuo Xiuzhen, she was cultivating.

Profound Soul Birds fluttered around her as strong bloodline power diffused from her body. Lu Zheng could even sense the divine runes imprinted in her blood.

Immortal Star was also in the aperture fragment. He was flying at full speed towards Lu Zheng.

After a short moment, he appeared before Lu Zheng.

"What is the matter?" Lu Zheng asked Immortal Star.

"I want to leave this place for a while. The natural lightning path dao imprints in this realm are affecting my star path cultivation and it had been long since I've bathed in the light of the stars" Immortal Star did not beat around the bush.

"I understand. Whenever you plan to return, come to Bai Xi Mountain. There is a small formation here that can allow only the three of us to enter" Lu Zheng replied.

"Bai Xi Mountain…" Immortal Star nodded.

Lu Zheng used his methods and the space around Immortal Star twisted and shimmered. In the blink of an eye, he was outside the aperture fragment.

Lu Zheng retracted his Sea of Consciousness before flying towards a certain direction.
