Chapter 411
Dog Slaves
“So it’s like that… Then, do you want to find your parents?”
After hearing what Su Yun had to say about Su Tian Shen, his mother and sister, Sword Elder asked in concern.
“I do not know.” Su Yun laughed bitterly: “Furthermore, I do not have any leads, they have left for so long. Although Su Li Xiong said that they left to find my sister, I do not know if they are still alive.”
Su Yun had once thought about why Su Li Xiong would fool everyone, but after pondering about it, he felt relieved, Su Li Xiong was not doing it to fool everybody, but for Qing’er, to make her lose hope.
“Then what do you plan to do now?”
“I am thinking of going to the Emperor Palace to enquire about my parents, if what Su Li Xiong said is true, that my parents have truly gone to the Emperor Palace, then the people of the Emperor Palace will definitely know something about my parents and maybe my sister.” Su Yun took a deep breath, feeling that his throat was dry.
Sword Elder nodded his head: “Your parents are to blame for forsaking you for so many years, but they are doing it for the sake of your sister. They might have met with some problems, but no matter what, as a person, as their son, you have a responsibility, you should go to the Emperor Palace.”
“Sword Elder, are you prepared to return to the Sky Martial Continent?”
“Yes I am.”
“Alright, I will help you to return, but after going back to the Sky Martial Continent, can you head over to Divine Cloud Immortal Palace and help me inform Qing’er that I will not be able to return soon?”
“You want me to tell her everything?” Sword Elder asked.
“Not yet.” Su Yun hesitated for a moment before making the decision.
“Although Qing’er was picked up as a child by father and mother, my parents have long seen her as their own daughter and Qing’er has treated my parents as her own. If Qing’er were to know of this, she will only get more worried and as of now, I can’t confirm whether my parents are around, so before finding out, it would be better not to tell her.”
“That’s true!” Sword Elder nodded his head, then said: “Su Yun, let me give you a suggestion, the Ultimate Martial World has the most realm interactions and the most advanced realm interactions, you can obtain information here much faster than the Spirit Demon Realm, Demonic Realm, Evil Realm or the Sky Martial Continent, so I think that looking for the Emperor Palace here is better.”
“I understand.”
Su Yun nodded his head.
Sword Elder no longer reminisced about the past with Su Yun, after being revived, maybe he had more hopes of reviving the Limitless Sword Sect earlier. After staying in the tavern for the afternoon, the two parted ways.
After sending Sword Elder through the iron doors back into the Sky Martial Continent, Su Yun returned to the Sky Central City to look for Feng Ling Sheng.
To ask for reliant information, the locals of the Ultimate Martial World were the best to ask. For example: Feng Ling Sheng and his subordinates.
Four hours after meeting with Li Xiang, Su Yun and Feng Ling Sheng met at Sky Central City’s largest ‘Intoxicating Autumn Tavern’.
Su Yun had booked a private room, and the two went straight there and sat.
Feng Ling Sheng was dressed in white robes with Li Xiang accompanying him. Li Xiang held onto Feng Ling Sheng’s sword, as a swordsman, the sword was much more important than life, for Feng Ling Sheng to be willing to hand his sword over to Li Xiang, it showed the position that Li Xiang had in his heart.
“Last time, I said that I would treat you for drinks, today, we must drink until we are drunk.”
Su Yun laughed.
“You better take it easy, the Ultimate Martial World’s wine is different from Sky Martial Continent’s, it is rather intense here, especially this Tavern’s ‘Autumn is here’, even a Spirit Master Cultivator would get drunk on it, a Spirit Intermediate Cultivator would definitely die from it!” Feng Ling Sheng laughed.
“Oh? Then I have to try it! Waiter, bring up two pots of ‘Autumn is here’!” Su Yun shouted.
He was now a rich man. Previously, Huai Rou Mu Yu had given him 200 thousand cultivation coins and after that, Nan Gong Qing gave him the reward of 200 thousand cultivation coins, the current him had amassed a wealth to 400 thousand cultivation coins, which was enough to buy a few Intoxicating Autumn Taverns.
Not long later, the waiter brought the ‘Autumn is here’ and after three rounds, both of their faces were red. When Feng Ling Sheng talked, his speech was slurred: “Su Yun, from just now, the moment we started drinking, I sensed that something was wrong with you, what’s the problem? Did you encounter something?”
Su Yun swayed the ‘autumn is here’ in his cup, and said: “Ling Sheng, do you know of the Emperor Palace?”
“Emperor Palace? Why?”
“I recently received some news, that my parents might have been to the Emperor Palace, I plan to go there to check it out and look for my parents.”
“The Emperor Palace is very far from Sky Central City, you might have to travel for a long time.” Feng Ling Sheng said.
“What? The Emperor Palace is in the Ultimate Martial World?” Su Yun was stunned.
“Yes!” Feng Ling Shen nodded his head: “But with your current fighting strength, without anyone to bring you there, much less the Emperor Palace, I am afraid that you will not even be able to enter the region that it is in.”
“Going to the Emperor Palace is related to fighting strength?”
“Of course it’s related! Su Yun, this is your first time in the Ultimate Martial World so you might not understand the situation here, you might think that the fighting strength written on the proof of qualifications is just a gauge to a person’s strength right? No, it is not only for that, at times, it is used as a number to serve as a pass. In the Ultimate Martial World, there are many places that requires a certain amount of Fighting Strength to enter, otherwise, you will not be allowed to enter!”
“How much fighting strength does the region that the Emperor Palace is in require?”
“I think about 6000, that place is called Bei Yang. From Sky Central City, I think with your current cultivation, you will need half a year to reach there.”
“It’s that far?”
Su Yun was startled, half a year of time was enough for him to travel from the south to the north of Sky Martial Continent a few times, showing the size comparison between the Ultimate Martial world and Sky Martial Continent.
“Wait till you are familiar with the Ultimate Martial world, you will think that it isn’t far anymore.” Feng Ling Sheng laughed
“Why? Do you plan to head there?”
“Yes!”
“Then you will have to use the half year of time to increase your fighting strength, with your current fighting strength, it is insufficient.” Feng Ling Sheng took his proof of qualifications from his waist and placed it on the table, the cover blocking his fighting strength was removed, revealing Feng Ling Sheng’s fighting strength to Su Yun.
“2001? You are now at the seventh stage of the Spirit Star Realm right?” Su Yun was surprised.
“That’s right! My cultivation had dropped, but training it back will be far easier than normal people, what about you? How much is your fighting strength now?”
Feng Ling Sheng laughed.
Su Yun took his own proof and removed the cover, which was given by Nan Gong Qing.
When he saw that it was close to 3000, Feng Ling Sheng was completely shook.
“2931? How is that possible?”
“What’s the fastest way to raise fighting strength?” Su Yun asked.
Feng Ling Sheng retracted his shocked look and sized Su Yun up: “By challenging other people with higher fighting strength than you, whether you win or lose, you will obtain some fighting strength, but usually, losing means losing your life, because such challenges require a battle that demands lives!”
“Sparring isn’t counted?”
“Sparring won’t count, your proof of qualifications will not record sparring battles.” Feng Ling Sheng said: “If you are truly prepared to head to the Heaven Palace, I will prepare a map for you and a few other necessities.”
“Thank you.” Su Yun was grateful to him.
“Don’t be, we are friends.” Feng Ling Sheng laughed: “When are you planning to leave?”
“Maybe I will leave today.” Su Yun continued to swirl the drink in his cup.
“Today? That’s really fast right? I heard that Huai Rou Mu Yu’s group is returning to home today too, why not join her? The Huai Rou Family is not simple, if you have their help, entering Bei Yang will actually not be difficult.” Feng Ling Sheng said.
“No need.” Su Yun shook his head: “Huai Rou Mu Yu helped me many times, I can’t trouble her so much.”
“Oh, alright.”
The two of them continued drinking.
After seven pots of ‘Autumn is here’, Su Yun felt that it was enough, he stood up and was about to pay up and leave, but right then, Feng Ling Sheng’s eyes landed outside the door, and frowned.
Su Yun looked on, and followed his gaze, and noticed a few men dressed luxuriously walking into the Tavern.
They were all roughly 30 years of age, dressed in yellow robes with black linings, they were extremely eye catching, their waists either hung blades or swords, their aura was imposing, and when they entered, the waiter immediately ran forward to address them.
“Oh? Who might it be? Isn’t it our Second young master Feng?”
One of them realized that Feng Ling Sheng was seated at the side, and laughed in a mocking tone.
His voice was unpleasant to the ears, causing everyone present to look at him.
“Mo She, how dare you to be so rude to young master!” Li Xiang walked over and bellowed.
“Am i being rude here?”
The man called Mo She had a tall figure, he looked down with arrogance at Li Xiang. With a look of disdain he said: “Did my words just now humiliate or scold Young Master Feng?”
“You!..”
“Get lost, trash! This old man wants to have a drink!”
Mo She snorted, and then directly collided into Li Xiang without notice, and as he was not prepared for it, Li Xiang fell to the ground.
“Hahahaha”
Everyone around started laughing.
Li Xiang’s face was flushed red, he patted his buttocks, lowered his head and returned to Feng Ling Sheng’s side.
Feng Ling Sheng sighed, but did not reveal any anger. However, Su Yun was able to see the helplessness and anger in his eyes.
“Who are they.” Su Yun asked.
“They are men from my manor, ignore them.” Feng Ling Sheng smiled and said.
“Men from your manor? Why are they so arrogant? Are they your siblings?”
Su Yun asked.
“How is that possible? They are dog slaves under Feng Mo Qiang! They are just subordinates in the Feng Family!” Li Xiang cut in and said.
“How can they be so rude to their young master?” Su Yun was shocked.
“Isn’t it because my family Young Master’s cultivation had fallen, my Young Master’s declined cultivation caused his position to fall daily. In the past, when Young Master cultivated, he was the best candidate to be the next Patriarch of the family, but now, it is different, young master’s cultivation had declined and no longer has qualifications to become the Patriarch and as Feng Mo Qiang who was in better condition and was more outstanding, he took the chance and rose. Now, almost everyone in the Feng Family sees Feng Mo Qiang as the next Patriarch. Feng Mo Qiang has never been on good terms with my young master, they fight openly and under the table, those slaves follow Feng Mo Qiang and naturally side with their master.”
Li Xiang explained bitterly.
Hearing that, Su Yun snorted, he turned his head and stared at Feng Lin Sheng: “How can you tolerate this?”
“This is nothing much.” Feng Ling Sheng laughed helplessly: “You don’t have to worry, go and prepare for your journey.”
“Do you need my help to kill Feng Mo Qiang?” Su Yun asked.
“Feng Mo Qiang’s strength is outstanding, you cannot underestimate him.” Feng Ling Sheng said.
“When it comes to assassination, even low cultivation can do it.”
Su Yun stood up, and looked at the two of them: “Let us begin with his subordinates, follow me.”
