Chapter 340: Ling Yuan's Retaliation
" But before that, come, sit here."
Ancestor Four Seasons raised his hands. Suddenly, Long Ming and Mu Qinglian were pushed back, landing on a soft couch. They couldn't react at all, as if they were leaves that got pushed by a wave of gentle breeze.
" How is the sect going? Ran into any problem?"
" Problem, huh?" Mu Qinglian couldn't help but give a bitter laugh. " Well, It all started with…"
Mu Qinglian spoke of everything, about Empress Winter Song and Empress Crimson Sky. Then she talked about the great war, the attack of Sky Martial Tower, and the decline of sect.
" Haha, so that lass really reached the Heavenly Emperor realm after me." Ancestor Four Seasons laughed. " And even after her, someone else did? Looks like my sect has some really good fortune."
" But to think those bastards who were barely young enough to wipe their butt, would bide their time to attack our sect."
" But for now, we have regained our strength. We have destroyed the Sky Martial Tower and got our revenge." Mu Qinglian spoke with enthusiasm.
" Even if we can't be considered as the most powerful sect in the Eastern Province, we are certainly one of the topmost."
" I expected it. So the calamity really struck the sect." Ancestor Four Seasons nodded. "This entire space, I created it as the safe house for Four Seasons Valley." Ancestor Four Season spoke as he looked at them."
" However, I didn't expect that you will lose the Four Seasons Grand Swordsplay at such crucial moment. All of this is heaven's will."
" Ancestor, you knew about it?" Long Ming asked in a curious voice.
" After you reach the Heavenly Emperor realm, you can easily peer through the secrets of heavenly dome." Ancestor Four Seasons chuckled.
" I had to pay some cost, but it was worth it."
" Does that mean we have averted the tragedy?" Mu Qinglian spoke in an excited voice. " Can we take the treasures of this place?"
" Well, there is a little problem with your statement, Qinglian." Ancestor Four Seasons Valley rubbed his beard. " The danger is still present."
" You have managed to save the sect. However, right now, you are still in grave danger."
" As I said, you are bound to face both a great fortune and peril in the Great Sky Ruin."
Both Mu QInglian and Long Ming felt a chill in their spine when they heard Ancestor Four Seasons's ominous warning.
" What kind of danger, Ancestor?"
" Hmm, I can't pin point it. After all, it's truly impossible to know the future if it's entangled with a greater fate." Ancestor Four Season spoke in a serious voice.
" For example, to know a mortal's fate, from his birth to death, even a Dao Refining realm cultivator can do easily. However, he will have difficulty if he does same to a cultivator of Nine Transformation of Soul Realm. The predictions won't be as absolute as the mortals."
" The Great Sky Ruin was there, thousands of years before me. Even when I reached the Heavenly Emperor Realm, I couldn't understand all of its secrets. So even at my stage, I couldn't make accurate predictions about the Great Sky Ruin."
" However, what I know is that it's related to one of the treasures of Great Sky Ruin, the Heavenly Fountain Palace."
Long Ming's eyes narrowed when he heard that. ' Again! It's again Heavenly Fountain Palace. Looks like that place is crawling with death flags.'
" Even to predict that, I sacrificed two of my Natal Weapons and Seven True Imperial weapons."
" Wait a second." Long Ming looked at Ancestor Four Seasons. " Do you mean…There are no treasures in this place?"
" Haha, if you are here to get my natal treasure, I have to disappoint you." Ancestor Four Seasons laughed loudly. " I have left behind some natural treasures, medicinal herbs and library full of techniques. However, as for treasures, I feel you will you find it lacking."
" However, you still have the greatest treasure I have left." Ancestor Four Seasons pointed at the sky. " This domain, I personally crafted with a Formation Emperor rank Array Formation Master."
" There is no limit, you can cultivate inside it as long as you want. However, you'd better leave before the Great Sky Ruin closes. Else, you can only leave when it opens the next time."
" Personally speaking, just take everything from here and leave. As long as you don't go to the Heavenly Fountain Palace, I don't think you will face any danger."
Mu Qinglian and Long Ming looked at each other, unable to think of anything. Ancestor Four Season turned around, his projection turning dimmer.
" Alright, my time here is over. I will pass you knowledge of this place. Manage it well."
As the projection vanished, a ray of light hit Long Ming's forehead. Suddenly, a burst of information appeared in his mind.
" The beacon of Four Seasons Valley, heed my words. Your path will be filled with blood and misfortune. However, you also carry the burden of an immense fate."
" Beware of heaven's will."
Long Ming's ears rang with the words of Ancestor Four Season.
" Huh? What happened? Are you alright?"
" You didn't hear that?" Long Ming looked at Mu Qinglian.
" What are you talking about?" Mu Qinglian asked in confusion. Long Ming pondered for a moment before shaking his head.
" It's nothing. Let's go out."
As the left the cottage, Long Ming used the knowledge and visited all the marked places.
" My goodness! This place, this is filled with so many techniques." Mu Qinglian was stunned. " There are at least three Imperial grade techniques here."
The next was the treasure house. As they entered, Long Ming saw small boxes stacked neatly on the shelves.
" Ancient Verdant Peach Wood, these boxes alone will cost a fortune." Long Ming couldn't help but chuckle.
The boxes contained everything, from rare medicinal pills to various exotic materials, and treasures from Royal grade and below.
Long Ming's eyes fell on the stacks of various talismans. He picked up one, his eyes surprised.
" Hmm, Void Breaking Talisman? It can instantly transfer someone into half across the continent of Rain Dragon. I should keep it."
" Qinglian, take the ones that are live saving treasures. The rest can be sorted later."
" Alright, sounds like a good plan." Mu Qinglian nodded. " You should start cultivating too. I don't think it's hard to reach Harmonization Realm for you."
" Haha, I still need some time." Long Ming gave a wry smile as he looked away.
' Damn it, only if I didn't have to face Lightning Tribulation and Physique Tribulation, I would have reached Harmonization Realm long ago.'
' However, somehow…I feel I have a chance to breakthrough in Great Sky Ruin.'
" You all stay here. This place is protected with array formation. You can safely cultivate here." Long Ming spoke to Mu Qinglian. " I will take a look outside."
Long Ming stepped outside of the domain, returning to the Palace City.
However, his senses perked up as he could feel a clash of energies in the direction of the Dao Establishment Stele.
' These bastards, they already started to fight huh?' Long Ming couldn't help but chuckle. He didn't care about Dao Establishment Stele much.
After all, he felt that with his Supreme Comprehension and Heavenly Revelation Eyes, he was someone who needs least about to help regarding these things.
However, he felt a familiar sword qi, making him look in that direction.
" Fuck! Is that Ling Yuan?"
Without delaying a second, Long Ming's Raging Storm Wings unfurled. Turning into a streak of lightning, Long Ming vanished from his position, shooting straight towards the Dao Establishment Stele.

*BOOM! BOOM!*
Ling Yuan wiped the blood from his lips as he clenched his sword. " Fuck! If you are a man, fight with me properly! You dare to attack my brother Xu while he is cultivating?!"
" Hmph! He doesn't deserve that treasure. Simple as that." Jin Xiao held his sword with a smug grin.
However, he suddenly felt a sense of danger as he raised his sword. A streak of lightning passed by him, slicing a wound on his cheek.
Ling Yuan's eyes widened when he saw Long Ming emerging from the lightning, holding his usual Plum Blossoms Fan.
" Looks like you are in trouble, Brother Ling." Long Ming smirked. " Need a hand?"
Ling Yuan's lips curled as he cracked his muscles. " Hahahaha, Good timing! Good timing, my good brother!"
" Can you stay here and project Xu Jian?"
Long Ming nodded with a smile. " It will be my pleasure, brother Ling."
Jin Xiao touched his cheek and looked at his finger; his eyes widened when he saw the blood.
' When? I…I couldn't even react?!'
" Hey, punk! Where are you looking at, huh?"
Jin Xiao saw Ling Yuan walk towards him with a burning gaze.
" Now, we can have some good conversation, bastard of Heavenly Sword Sect."
" Sky Fighting Royal Body!"
Ling Yuan's aura erupted as he activated his Royal grade physique. His sword qi burst like a damn, battle aura pouring from his body..
