Shi Lang issued themand and the people immediately retreated. They moved out the same way as they have appeared, they all invoked the spirit deviation arrays on the battle suits followed by a concealment array.


    Spirit deviation array was a secret of Asura Hall. It was only known to the researchers and made developers. The people were confused when they saw the group of people vanish. Many of them were Immortal Sovereigns, and when they could not detect Asura Hall members, they were shocked.


    Shi Lang just became a bigger threat in their eyes. The Terran stood a few steps away from Fairy Moon Jade, and said, "I will say it once only, if any of you wishes toe after me, make sure you kill me. Or I will destroy you in a way the people would never know you existed."


    That said, he looked at Fairy Moon Jade and said, "I have fulfilled my promise, bye."


    With a wave of his hand a void portal opened and Shi Lang vanished, however, before the portal closed, a jade token shot at Moon Jade. A voice sounded, "I am not longer the young master of his army."


    Fairy Moon Jade sighed and nodded in understanding. She knew that the reason Shi Lang spared Tian Long was because of her. The reason he even tried to collect the elixir was because of her. She was a person whom Shi Lang considered family.


    It was not as if Shi Tao or Amelia were not his family, but Fairy Moon Jade was a person from his past. A time where even the people whom he swore a heavenly oath did not enter his heart. Tsuu Ching was his brother from other mother, but none of the rich and affluent managed to make the cut.


    Shi Lang retreated and by returning the jade token, he broke off all rtions with Tian Long. Fairy Moon Jade knew this, when he saved his life the first time, he told Moon Jade, "Why do you love him? Can you not see how arrogant he is? Can you not understand that he does not care about anyone else but him? His only goal is to achieve the peak of power.


    Fine, you want me to save him, I will do it, but only two times. If you consider me brother, do not ask me to involve with him anymore than two times."


    Fairy Moon Jade had given her word to him that she would not pester him for any matter regarding Tian Long. She watched her brother leave, obviously there was pain in her heart, but she shill walked up to Tian Long and took care of him.


    ...


    Shi Lang arrived at the foot of the mountain, Allure and Hou Bing appeared from a different void portal. Allure could track his spiritual energy so, it was not a big thing for her. Hou Bing moved from her head to Shi Lang''s shoulder and asked, "I sense chaos in your heart, Shi Lang. Are you okay?"


    Shi Lang shook his head and said, "Tian Long has always been like this. If not for Little Moon, I would have let him die back in the lower realm."


    As he said this, he began to climb the mountain. This was the ce where Asura Hall was situated. Shi Lang hade over, and he wanted to spend some time in seclusion to process his emotions. Allure followed him, and asked, "Is this where you train your forces?"


    Shi Lang nodded and said, "Yes."


    ...


    What happened between Shi Lang and Tian Long spread across the realm, and people were shocked that the Terran beat Tian Long so brutally. However, the bigger shock was how Shi Lang threw the position of the Champion at Tian Long''s face.


    Many people were talking about it, and in the heavenly pce, Tian Long was raging at this. He was humiliated, but he could not do anything to Shi Lang. Fairy Moon Jade had told him that if he dared to make a move against Shi Lang, she would never forgive him.


    Yes, he did care about Fairy Moon Jade. After all, he has been with her through thousand years. Many times he found other partners but thedy neverined. He did not know how and where did she get so much patience or so much virtue.


    As he was thinking about it, Shi Tao happened to walk inside the courtyard. She looked at Tian Long but did not say anything. Moon Jade raised her head and said, "Xiao Tao, what happened?"


    Shi Tao hesitated for a bit and then said, "Aunt, I would like to go and join my parents."


    Fairy Moon Jade was not surprised, and said, "Do you really want to do that?"


    Shi Tao nodded as she spoke softly, "My cultivation is stagnating and I am tired of fighting all day, every day. Even in thend of savages I have never seen so much blood shed."


    Fairy Moon Jade understood and sighed, "True, the fighting can take toll and influence the path of Dao. Fine, I will allow you to leave."


    Shi Tao bowed and returned the sword to her, before walking away. Tian Long asked, "Who was that?"


    Fairy Moon Jade replied, "Shi Tao, daughter of Shi Lang."


    Tian Long was surprised and asked, "Since when did she be a part of the Heavenly Dragon Army?"


    Thedy looked at him, as she replied, "The moment Shi Lang took the initiative to travel and gather the herbs for your revival. She volunteered, since you came back, her duties have been finished."


    Tian Long took a deep breath and came to sit down before her as he asked, "Tell me, what happened when I fell?"


    Fairy Moon Jade began to recount every detail to him, and the more he heard, the more surprised he became. After an hour, he said, "So, it seem like I have indeed let him down again."


    Thedy nodded and said, "It is over, do not approach him. I cannot guarantee your life. Even if you are a sovereign, the Legendary beast beside him can kill you three times over."


    Tian Long nodded with some guilt in his eyes. However, that was it. All he could do now was to move forward and handle his forces to the best of his abilities.


    ...


    Shi Lang came to the Asura Hall, and immediately told Yang Niao, "Call back Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei. I will teach them personally now."


    The girls have been staying at War Maiden Sect this whole time. It was time they came back. Allure was having a good time in this ce. The disciples would seek her for advice and they were not afraid of hardship. They would fight till they could move. Many times, she would tell them to a rest.


    What moved her even more was the fact that even disciples with average talent would grasp the principles of the moves she taught them. Hou Bing on the other hand loved going through the maze of Tartarus. She would ride the heads of the juniors who practiced there. The disciples did not mind her, they would give her strokes and often bring her some fruits to eat.


    They did not know that she was a Phoenix, but thepanion of their hall master would not be an ordinary creature and she was just adorable.


    Shi Lang was sitting on the top of a pir erected in the center of the sect. This pir was so tall that it hid in the clouds, and Shi Lang was the one who ced it here. He wanted some peace, but also not lose the connection to the outside world. He sat among the clouds with his eyes closed.


    He was thinking of how to approach his cultivation predicaments. The stagnation in his realm was spawned because of the stagnation in his understanding of the Shura Sutra. He could notprehend any more of the shura sutra.


    Shi Lang had encountered a huge bottleneck and the only way out of this situation was to push through. What he knew about cultivation was that if he wanted to break through to the Immortal Sovereign, then he would have to merge all his Dao Laws into a seed.


    This seed will be ced in Dantian and the spiritual energy that he refines would carry a trace of Dao Laws because of this. Shi Lang did not know how to condense the Dao seed. While he was thinking on what to do, suddenly a wild thought came to his mind.


    However, before he could get excited about it, a calm voice sounded in his mind, "Do not even think of doing that. You are too pathetically weak to get there. You won''tst for more than a month."


    The voice belonged to Hou Bing, who was telling him to give up his idea. Shi Lang asked, "How do you know what I was thinking of?"


    Hou Bing sighed and said, "How can I not know? I can see through time you know? Do not go to the demon side until you are at the peak of Immortal Emperor realm."


    Shi Lang asked, "Why?"


    Hou Bing sighed and said, "You will die even before you know it. The world rules forbid weaker ones from going there."


    Shi Lang was surprised and asked, "The worldws? Why?"
