Gate of Immortality

Chapter 131: Situation in Firmament City

People were stunned, as they couldn't understand what happened in the instance. Yang Shi and Jin Yu already passed the Black guards. One after another, the guards began to scream as they tumbled down. Blood spattered as all of their arms got severed.

The captain of the team trembled as he saw his own arm lying on the ground, gripping the sword tightly. His vision blared as he fell down. People from Lan Family stood like wooden chickens, including Lan Xiaozi. Although he also killed a fair share of people in his life, he never saw such hellish carnage before. Lan Yue already saw such a scene before, but nonetheless, she was still stunned.

The most surprising thing was, no matter how much blood spattered around, not even a single drop fell on Yang Shi. Even Jin Yu was completely clean, like a lotus leaf in the water. They walked like nothing happened as they soon disappeared from the sights.

" UGH...BLERGH!" Finally, someone couldn't hold back as they vomited. They lived in a small town, so they never experienced to such bloodshed. Although none of the guards died, their fate is not too good. If not treated in time, they might die in a more painful way. 

The whole town fell in uproar as the matter spread like wildfire. The Li Family sent all of their elders to bring back the guards. One could see the pensive expression on their face. In fact, without witnessing it, none might have believed that a single wave of hand can disable two dozens of strong guards.

" Yue'er, Just who was he?" Lan Xiaozi gave a deep sigh as he asked Lan Yue. " He is my brother-in-law." Lan Hai proudly said. " Xiao Hai!." Lan Yue snorted as her face became red. Lan Hai stuck out his tongue as he looked at the three daggers with determination.

Lan Xiaozi was even more astonished as he took a dagger from Lan Hai and channeled his spiritual qi. The dagger shone with a cold light as small runes emerged from it. " Spirit Weapon!" Lan Xiaozi felt his heart might leap out of his mouth. 

Lan Family has only two Spirit grade weapons in its treasury, and both of them are their ancestral weapons. But looking at the dagger, their ancestral weapons might be pale in comparison. Lan Xiaozi returned it to Lan Hai, " Xiao Hai, always cherish these daggers. If you can, master these daggers, and you will be very powerful." Lan Xiaozi said seriously. " I will, Father."Lan Hai nodded.

The people from the Li family left quietly, without making trouble with Lan Family. So Lan Xiaozi also brought back their people. Lan Yue sighed as she returned to her room. She lied on the bed as she could feel the lingering fragrance of Yang Shi. No other man than her has entered her room and rested on her bed. Her heart thumped wildly as she thought about the matters from last night.

" Eh? Something is here." Lan Yue startled as she felt something was under the bedsheet. She looked and found a small pouch. " Could it be the gift he has left for me?" She remembered the words of Yang Shi. " But I don't see any peculiarities." Lan Yue muttered. But with a sudden thought, she infused her spiritual qi in it. Lan Yue suddenly felt the space in the pouch widened by several times.

" Storage Pouch!" She exclaimed loudly. Lan Yue never thought it was a storage pouch. She only heard about storage pouches, which can carry a lot of items in its vast space. It was so precious that no one in Eastern Valley Town has a storage pouch. She hurriedly looked inside and almost fainted from shock. 

There was a large heap of gold coins inside. It was more than a hundred thousand. It was more than Lan Family's income of five years. She also saw a longsword placed in it. She took out the longsword as she caressed it. It was slightly blue in color, as a crest of the moon was embedded on the center of its guard. The more she looked at it, the more surprised she got. From the strange pattern on the blade, she recognized it as Spirit grade weapon.

She found two small booklets in it. She opened it and began to read. One of them was a sword technique, named " Dancing Butterfly Sword Art." It was perfectly paired with the longsword. The second booklet was about a defense technique called " Radiant Guard." It was the same technique Yang Shi used to use in past. If practiced to the pinnacle, It can block most of the opponent's attack. There was a small note at the end of the booklet.

" Become strong and come to Firmament City. Even if fate doesn't allow, We will definitely meet again."

" Don't worry, Young Master. I shall come soon." Lan Yue's eyes shone with determination. She took out a pill bottle and ate a pill from it, and began to cultivate.

It was a gloomy day for Li Family. The Li family patriarch smashed the table with anger. First, It was his second son, now all the Black guards. " Patriarch, I think Lan Family might have some connection with some powerhouse." An Elder said slowly. " Can It be bigger than the Golden Sun Sect?" Li family patriarch sneered. " Let's low for a while. Once Changfeng returns from the sect, We will raze the Lan Family to the ground. Hmph, I will also see that brat." He scowled. Lan Family was already finished in his eyes.

" Hey, Can you slow down a bit?" Yang Shi yelled angrily as he pushed his Starlight Burst to its limits. " Hmph, If you can't even catch up to me when I am just walking, You better stop using Starlight Burst." Jin Yu snickered. SAhe was training Yang Shi in his agility technique. Jin Yu has suppressed her cultivation of Primordial Spirit Realm. But even with that, Her speed far surpassed Yang Shi.

" If can't keep up with me in my suppressed state, You can't reach the Initial completion stage of Starlight Burst." Jin Yu shook his head. It looked like she was just taking a stroll, but her speed was so fast that even Yang Shi felt demotivated. " Hurry up, We still far from the city." Jin Yu suddenly vanished from her spot. " Damn it." Yang Shi cursed as he chased her.

With Yang Shi's speed, it took two days to reach Firmament City. But when they reached the city gate, Yang Shi surprised a bit. It was guarded heavily as everyone is going through a strict inspection. " What happened while I was gone?" Yang Shi thought. He proceeds to the city gate as the guards stopped him and Jin Yu.

" Halt, Who are you?" The guard asked sternly. Yang Shi frowned as he showed the guard his Golden Fire Token. " Ah, So you are an esteemed blacksmith of Golden Fire Tower." The guard's tone became polite. This was Firmament City and everyone knows about the Golden Fire Token.

" Why the security is so tight today? I was out of the city, so I don't know. Did something happen?" Yang Shi asked curiously. " Ah, It seems young master didn't know. Five days ago, The elder from Demonic Sound Palace attacked second young master Mo Yi and Liu Mei." The guard sighed. Yang Shi's face darkened as he hurriedly rushed to the Mo Family manor.
