"Also, try keeping your opinion to yourself on how people get that much bloodlust like me. It makes me sick hearing words like that," Tang Yan said, walking into the house with a bland face.
Outside, Miss Shu was standing still, feeling a heaviness in her chest after sensing Tang Yan's momentum. In the past, the Tang Yan she knew had no momentum and a very weak aura around him, but now he gave her a dangerous feeling of no hesitation in doing what he said.
"I better stay extremely careful around here since he could sense me without a flinch," Miss Shu said, rubbing her shoulders as if she had gotten cold.
The next day, at the Sky Floating City Sword Sect, a group of nine elderly people gathered, bowing their heads towards a particular young figure with long black hair, sword-like brows, and white robes.
"Welcome to the lower realm, Master Shin," they all greeted in a loud and respectful voice.
"You can all rise now; you are all elderly and shouldn't be bowing to someone like me," Master Shin greeted in return, with his hands together and a slight bow.
"As you are all aware, my master sent me here to ask if you are aware of an incident that caused a strange phenomenon, which could even cause the second heaven to experience a blood-red sky," Master Shin explained.
The elders began discussing their opinions on how impossible it was for it to happen, since the phenomenon was supposed to destroy their floating city before heading towards the second heaven.
"Enough, all of you; let Master Shin speak," an energetic elder with a big stomach and bald head shouted.
"Thank you, Vice Patriarch. What you all said is indeed what we all thought of, but since the Patriarch, my senior brother, said it was from here, my master believes it so. Also, we've contacted the third heaven, and they said they experienced nothing like that," Master Shin continued.
"Senior brother also said that the sky towards the Sun Slaughtering Palace was protected by an invisible light, making it unaffected or aware of this," Master Shin added.
"That can't be true; that place is led by a vicious brute woman," one of the elders said.
"But she was once also your wife, Third Elder. Remember, she spared us from going to war with each other for the sake of Bao'er and Chen'er," a cold-looking, slightly elderly woman spoke, with a fan covering half her face. This woman was the First Elder and also the Patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Lanyue.
"Since when did that happen?" Master Shin asked, intrigued by the words of the Vice Patriarch and the First Elder.
"Forgive us for hiding this from the Grandmaster, but it was the Patriarch who instructed us to keep our mouths sealed on this matter," the Vice Patriarch responded solemnly.
"Don't worry and just say it; I'll bear the responsibility," Master Shin said.
"Very well, Master Shin. The Third Elder happened to commit a grave sin by taking advantage of the Leader of the Sun Slaughtering Palace when she was having a memory loss while cultivating," the Vice Patriarch explained.
"I didn't know who she was then, and it wasn't intentional," the Third Elder refuted the words of the Vice Elder in anger.
"Whatever. Later on, it was said that she had a son after coming to the family of the Third Elder, the Du family, and had already given birth to three for him before this was known. But alas, the son revoked the surname for his two youngest siblings, which caused great displeasure within the family," the Vice Patriarch continued.
"That woman left the family for two years after regaining her memories, but when she came back for her son, who was not of the Du family, she found out that he, out of anger, crippled his Dantian and meridians and left for the lower plains," the Vice Patriarch added.
"Knowing this, she destroyed the ancestral home of the Du family, crippled the most talented of the Du family by that time, and rushed down her ready to tear this place down with her disciples. If not for the Patriarch, we would have lost more than half of the Sword Sect disciples because of the selfishness of the Third Elder," the Vice Patriarch explained, recalling all the events that happened.
"You all also know that if it wasn't for Bao'er pleading on his behalf and being an inner disciple of this sect, the Patriarch might even be severely injured," the First Elder added.
"Oh, so there is someone in this lower heaven who could almost severely injure Senior Brother, even with his cultivation base being in the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment," Master Shin marveled at the hearing of this news.
"So, where is this son of hers?" Master Shin asked.
"According to the intel I have collected on him, he school's in the sky floating City academy in the lowe plains. Hé shows no form of improvement be it in cultivation or academics. The only government d quality is that he works in a construction site and has recently been close with the First Elder grandson" the Third Elder , Du Zhiquan spoke heavily due to the impact of him hearing about the old days disgrace.
This Intel very much surprised the First Elder, she could very much say that she knew of her grandson's cold and detached attitude which he puts up in front of outsiders and even some of the family members, coupled with his high cultivation talent he hardly gives face to most people.
" I'll need to make time to head back to the family sometime soon" the first elder thought.
The discussion about the mysterious phenomenon that had just happened and how to sort out the relationship with the Third Elder concubine continued.
[In the lower plains, Tang yan's home]
In his room Tang Yan sat cross legged trying to form a amour structure with the Qi in the surrounding so that he could combine it with his leaking soul power from his body.
"Creek, step"
"Creek, step"
A gentle moving step could be heard coming from outside his bedroom and without much guess he already knew who it was.
