    <h4>Chapter 740 Spar. </h4>


    ?Shi Lang spent two days cultivating in seclusion when Yao Jiming informed him that Yun Tian hade to find him. The Terran nodded and came out of seclusion. He sighed in his mind, ''It is so hard to mislead people. They are so sticky over a few tonnes of materials.''


    He sorted his clothes as he walked through the pavilion and entered the garden where Yun Tian was waiting. Shi Lang found him gazing at Yun Xue, practicing her sword move in the distance. He asked, "Sorry to tell you, Brother Yun. Thatdy is taken."


    Yun Tian was startled by the sudden sound and replied, "Brother Ace, you scared me. Also, I am not interested in thatdy. The sect forbids us from falling in love or anything like that. However, her swordy is very good. I have not seen such a technique."


    Shi Lang smiled and replied, "I was only joking with you. Well, yes, she is trying toprehend her dao path with a sword. Anyway, what brings you here?"


    Yun Tian replied, "I located the twodies, but they had been forced to move out of the city. So, I was dyed. Upon interrogation, they said that Young Master Zhu would often call them for pleasurable services, and then he would do them before paying them nicely. This time, they admitted that while they were still indulging, someone entered the room, and after a stinging feeling in their necks, they both fainted."


    Shi Lang nodded and said, "This confirms that the assant used those needles to knock them out. We should find out what poison it is."


    Yun Tian sighed and shook his head as he said, "You should have done the investigation with the alchemists by yourself, Brother Shi. Lady Zhu is dying a lot of things. It is a simple task to present the needles to the alchemists, and they will be able to tell us what the poison was."


    Shi Lang smiled and said, "I will talk to her. Do not worry. For now, you should have some tea. I need to spar with Xiao Xue."


    Yun Tian said, "How about you spar with me too?"


    Shi Lang shrugged and said, "I do not mind that, but I will first see about this girl. She will beat me for dying for a couple of days."


    Yun Tian nodded. He was quite keen on watching Shi Lang spar. The Terran approached Yun Xue and took a long spear from his space ring. Yun Xue saw this and smiled, "What? Intending to go easy on me?"


    Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "When have you seen me hold back?"


    Yun Xue smiled and said, "Good,e then. Let me see how big the difference between you and me is."


    Shi Lang smiled and said, "Brother Yao, can you please erect a barrier?"


    Yao Jiming was standing nearby, and when he heard the request, he replied, "Yes, Young Master."


    Do not look at this guy because he was assigned to attend Shi Lang; he was a pinnacle Immortal King. His skills were above the average of the Immortal Kings. Only when he deployed the barrier did Yun Tian realize this fact.


    Shi Lang nodded and assumed a battling stance. Yun Xue saw his expression change and recalled the moment they faced each other on the Tri-sect duel tform. She said, "One move?"


    Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "Let me enjoy this fight."


    Yun Xue nodded, and a gust of wind made a few. Leaves fly in the void. The two people waited and moved when the leafnded on the ground. The garden echoed with ngs, and Yun Tian was shocked. He could not understand what was going on. Yun Xue was pushing forward with all her might.


    Even when he ced himself in Shi Lang''s shoes, he could not help but feel some pressure. However, Shi Lang was moving around like it was nothing. He was not even exerting his spiritual energy. His spear was like a willow branch. No matter how strong the attack he met was, the branch will spring back again.


    The battlested for ten minutes before Yun Xue stopped. Shi Lang smiled and said, "Did you realize it?"


    Yun Xue nodded and said, "Yes. Ice is but water. Ick the fluidity of water. Only the sharpness of ice will not do me any good."


    Shi Lang nodded and said, "Go, cultivate and consolidate. Ponder over it, and you will find the way."


    Yun Xue put up a sincere expression and bowed to him as she said, "Thank you for your guidance, oh exalted one."


    Shi Lang was surprised and then chuckled. Thedy smiled and then ran away. The Terran looked at Yun Tian and asked, "Brother Yun, do you want to have a go?"


    Yun Tian was eager, but suddenly, his spiritualmunicator lit up. He checked, and his expression turned serious. He said, "I apologize, Brother Ace. Master is calling me. I have to leave right away. Please look into Lady Zhu for me."


    Shi Lang was surprised, but he nodded. He could not help but think about what could have made Yun Tian react this way. He shook his head and began to practice his spear. For the next few minutes, he danced around with his spear. Suddenly, Yao Jiming said, "Young Master, Lady Zhu is here for you."


    Shi Lang stopped using his weapon and stowed away his spear. He took out a towel and cleaned up the sweat on his forehead. He asked, "Where is she?"


    Yao Jiming replied, "She is in the guest hall."


    The Terran nodded and made his way to the guest hall. He was calm andposed. Before meeting thisdy, he had to sort out his thoughts because what he was about to do could put him in a bind.


    When he arrived at the guest hall, he found Zhu Lingxue sitting on the couch, and a maid was handing her a cup of tea. Thedy epted the tea with a polite smile on her face. Shi Lang said, "Sister Ya, you can leave. I will attend to the guests."


    Surprised, The maid nodded to Shi Lang before greeting Lady Zhu and leaving the hall. They sat across from each other, and Shi Lang asked, "I hope you have been well, Fairy Zhu."


    Zhu Lingxue nodded and said, "Young Master Ace, the investigation has been concluded. The poison on the needles is called snake grass. It is a potent butmonly found spirit herb. Mainly used in sleeping medicines."


    Shi Lang nodded and said, "That is good, but it does put us in a fix. We have no idea who could have used this medicine. After all, if it ismonly found, we may not be able to narrow down the search. It seems we need to find some other lead."


    Zhu Lingxue nodded and asked, "Where do you think we should look first, Young Master Ace?"


    Shi Lang sighed and said, "I might have to visit your home for this."


    He noticed a flicker in her eyes when he mentioned the word " home. " He asked, "Fairy Zhu, if you do not mind, can I ask you something personal?"


    Zhu Lingxue was surprised, but she nodded, and Shi Lang asked, "Why do I feel like you always want to prove yourself to your father?"


    Thedy was taken aback, but then she chuckled and asked, "Is it that obvious?"


    Shi Lang nodded, and Zhu Lingxue continued, "My mother belonged to an orthodox demon Sect, Yin Skull Sect. She used her charm technique to take advantage of my father. However, when my father saved her life, she gave up her intentions. After five years of dwelling in the forest, they formed a good rtionship and had me. My father wanted to know more about her. My mother revealed she was the only descendant of the fallen orthodox demon sect.


    However, it was still too much for my father to digest. After all, orthodox or not, it was a demon sect. My mother gave up her life in return for my father''s promise of raising me as his daughter."


    Shi Lang was surprised and remarked, "I did not expect your story to be filled with tragedies. However, if your mother passed away at an early age, why do you know so much of her history or even practice the technique of charm?"


    Zhu Lingxue smiled and revealed a pendant tied around her neck. She said, "This is the only I have left from my mother, and it carried a letter and a few books on the technique she learned. This is how I know."


    Shi Lang still had doubts but Zhu Lingxue said, "Young Master Ace, I can swear a heavenly oath to dispell your doubts. I have no dealings with the demonic sects at all."


    The Terran nodded and said, "Go ahead, Fairy Zhu. Make the oath. If you passed, I will give you a proposition that will allow you to rise and be someone more than a bargaining chip."
