Chapter 289 Spreading The News
Chapter 289 Spreading The News
The news of Sky Martial Tower's demise spread across the entire province like wildfire. Everyone was shocked when they heard.
As Meng Zhi managed the intelligence department, it wasn't long before she received the news.
Her expression turned odd when she received the news. ' Wait, How many days has been since Long Ming left for the Sky Martial Tower?'
' In the meantime, the sect protection formation actually disappeared and the invasion happened out of nowhere?'
" What happened, Meng Zhi? What news did you receive?" Xia Yuqing was sitting before Meng Zhi as both of them were playing Go on the board.
She noticed a flying paper crane landing on Meng Zhi's shoulder. So, Xia Yuqing assumed that Meng Zhi must have received important news.
" Well, Let me ask you something first." Meng Zhi looked at Xia Yuqing. " What do you think Long Ming must be doing there?"
" He? I believe he must have arrived there by now? And, Probably gathering information." Xia Yuqing replied. " Not to mention, I have repeatedly told him to not do anything dangerous without contacting us."
" Why? Did he do anything?"
" Well, He did actually." Meng Zhi chuckled. " He did something pretty unexpected."
" Oh? What did he report?" Xia Yuqing was interested.
" As if." Meng Zhi rolled her eyes. " He didn't report anything. I received the news from another source."
" Yesterday, the Sect Protection Barrier of the Sky Martial Tower vanished suddenly, making the Eastern Sky Sect attack the Sky Martial Tower and eradicate it."
" What?"
Xia Yuqing was stunned as the chess piece almost fell from her hands. " You mean…Long Ming did all that?"
" Well, Who else other than him could do it?" Meng Zhi shook her head. " So many people, so many sect tried. Yet, The Sect Protection Formation didn't come down."
" But it suddenly vanished after Long Ming's arrival. Don't you think it's fishy?"
" I understand." Xia Yuqing muttered. " But how could he have done that? It's not like he is a Dao Refining Realm cultivator with knowledge of a Formation Emperor."
" Elder Sister, Have you forgotten?" Meng Zhi smiled teasingly
. " He asked us to keep the ring of the Sect Master of Sky Martial Tower. Perhaps he found the key inside that?"
" That rascal, he already planned everything." Xia Yuqing was speechless.
" Alas, there should be quite a lot of treasure inside the Sky Martial Tower. Not to mention, the treasures and techniques they stole from us all those years ago."
" Should we prepare to purchase them back from the Eastern Sky Sect?"
" Well, There is a catch." Meng Zhi replied. " My informer states that the Eastern Sky Sect wasn't too pleased after capturing the sect. Because the treasury of the Sky Martial Tower was almost empty."
" Perhaps, the high ranking members of the Sky Martial Tower ran away with the treasures?"
" Those bastards!" Xia Yuqing clenched her fist. " It's very fitting for them to do this."
" And, What about that rascal? Any news regarding him?"
" Well, It looks like Elder Sister is caring about him, huh?" Xia Yuqing couldn't help but blush when she heard Meng Zhi's teasing. " Th-That's nonsense! I care about him because he is my disciple, alright? He is also the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley."
" And?" Meng Zhi raised her brows. " Nothing else?"
" Else what?"
" Like…Personal attendant of…intimate needs…"
Xia Yuqing was stunned for a moment before her cheeks turned red. " Yo-You! Meng Zhi you wench!"
" Ahaha! Elder Sister, Don't chase after me! I didn't say anything wrong!"
Meng Zhi turned into a wisp of black smoke as he vanished from her seat. Suddenly, a sword stabbed there, making the seat crack.
" Just stop and accept your punishment! How dare you to tease me like that!"
Xia Yuqing held her sword and chased after Meng Zhi.
" Hmph, Girl, It looks like your cultivation has increased, huh?" Xia Yuqing's eyes squinted when she saw Meng Zhi's agility.
" All thanks to Long Ming." Meng Zhi grinned. " Thanks to him, I was able to correct my cultivation technique and repair my foundation."
" Ah, Those intense dual cultivation sessions." Meng Zhi closed her eyes as she smacked her lips.
" I have to admit. Dual cultivating with Long Ming is better than a high grade elixir. Not to mention, his yang energy is perfect for my Evil Moon Yin Qi."
Xia Yuqing's face froze when she heard that. " Yi-You! You are…"
" Ayoo, Elder Sister." Meng Zhi waved her hand as she tried to play it cool. " There is nothing wrong in cultivation, right? And dual cultivation is just like that."
" It's just that…There is both pleasure and benefit mixed there."
Suddenly, Meng Zhi's expression turned stiff as she felt a gush of icy wind around her body.
" Well, You are pretty carefree today, eh?" " Elder Sister…"
Meng Zhi's heart chilled when she saw the smile on Xia Yuqing's face. Suddenly, her feet froze as a layer of ice covered them. She tried to do her best, but the ice remained solid as crystals.
" Your punishment, stand here like this for the entire day." Xia Yuqing snorted as she waved her hands. Suddenly, Meng Zhi felt her meridians and divine sea getting blocked, making her unable to flow her true qi
" Elder Sister, My skin will dry if I stand below the sun like this." Meng Zhi couldn't help but whimper.
" Well, Then take this a a cultivation session." Xia Yuqinh smiled brightly. " Sure, not enjoyable as dual cultivation with my disciple. But as you said, cultivation is cultivation, right?"
" Yo-You!"
Meng Zhi felt a strange loss when she heard Xia Yuqinh's words. She was returning her own reasoning to her.
' Tch, Elder Sister became more sharp, huh?' Meng Zhi couldn't help but mutter inwardly.
' Well, Let's just wait till he comes back. Hehe, I will see Elder Sister's reaction.'
Meanwhile…
In a bustling city, a handsome young man was walking around leisurely. The silky robe of silver color with yellow flower patterns was perfectly fitting to his body. His hair was lush black, like a raven's wings. The long hair was tied into a perfect pony, with a small sword hairpin keeping the hair bun pinned.
Long Ming took a deep breath as he walked on the street with absolute leisure.
' So, this is what you feel after walking like an ordinary person while carrying the world's wealth?'
' Look at these peasants, carrying Xuan grade weapons and becoming so arrogant. And that person, that's just a thousand-year-old herb. Why is he treating it like a treasure?'
' Tsk, These poor peasants. They don't know how high the sky is.' n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Suddenly, Long Ming's steps paused as he saw a carriage rushing towards his direction. The giant tiger pulling the carriage was a powerful demonic beast, making people intimidate.
Long Ming sighed as he stepped to the side. However, the carriage still tilted towards him.
' Shit, here we go again.'
