Chapter 723: Troubles
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: RundiSince the destruction of the Qing Ming House, a whole six years has passed.In these six years, the entire Ao Xian House worked together in unison towards rebuilding their city and completely focused on figuring out how to make sure the House develop for the better.Chu Zhong Tian and Huang Er were very studious and determined. Like old bulls on farm lands, they worked without complaints and worked without slacking.Because of their hard work, Ao Xian House achieved glorious results. Not only did it enter a normal course of business, the number of powerhouses within the House increased.Because of the giant sum of wealth left by the Qing Ming House, these six years, as many as three foundational leveled cultivators broke through and became completion leveled powerhouses.Out of all the different forces around the area, three completion leveled cultivators really were not enough to be news. But to a newly created force, that was something difficult.Other than those three completion leveled cultivators, two Heaven’s Favorites appeared inside the Ao Xian House. Though they merely achieved the undefeatable realm of the meditational stage, the Ao Xian House was now seeing hope. They all felt like if they continued this development, the Ao Xian House would for sure grow for the better!That was something everyone could predict. After merely six short years, there were now three completion leveled powerhouses and two meditational Heaven’s Favorites. This result was without a doubt, shocking. Though it is not impress for the cities within a few thousand miles, if they can continue this streak of success, only brightness awaits.Everyone was very confident about this.Especially Chu Zhong Tian and Huang Er. They were very confident about the future and felt that as long as their spiritual pillar doesn’t fall down, the Ao Xian House will for sure walk on a bright path.Recently however, these two were troubled by two things.For one, the God in their hearts has been in isolation for five years and they couldn’t help but to worry. However, they firmly believed that with Ling Xian’s capabilities, nothing bad will happen.For two, their neighboring House, the Tian Xuan House, was about to host a general convention and has invited Ling Xian to attend.Reality was that five years ago, the Tian Xuan House had hosted it once already, and has expressed its ferocious ambition.After all, after the destruction of the Qing Ming House, the Tian Xuan House became the strongest force in the area and already had ideas about unifying the forces in the area. However, at that time, the House didn’t have enough power to stop the different groups.This year, the intention of the convention didn’t need much explanation. Naturally, it was an attempt for them to become the leader yet again.To put it even more bluntly, it was for them to try and unify the neighboring forces by slowly swallowing and destroying them.Therefore, after they received the invitation, Chu Zhong Tian and Huang Er felt troubled. Especially under the circumstance that Ling Xian refused to leave his isolation, they really couldn’t find any solutions.After all, their glory was granted by Ling Xian. Plus, they were used to having him as a backup when they needed ideas.“Aye, what do you think? Should we go or not?” Chu Zhong Tian sat on a mahogany chair with his brows tightly wrinkled.Huang Er looked just as troubled and sighed, “If we go, we are just going to be a chess piece used by them and we will have to follow their orders. If we don’t go, then the Tian Xuan House will pick on us first after they form their alliance.”“Exactly.”Chu Zhong Tian softly sighed. “Four to five years ago, to fight for land, we have had some friction with the Tian Xuan House. If we wait silently, when they get the time, they won’t let us live.”“The Tian Xuan House isn’t the only one. We’ve had some rough patches with the other forces as well. After all, the Qing Ming House left behind giant piles of wealth – enough to engross all those wolves’ interests.”Huang Er laughed bitterly, “If our master didn’t destroy the Qing Ming House and scare off those forces, they would’ve made their moves a long time ago.”“In other words, the moment they form an alliance and combine their power, they will no longer be afraid of us.” Zhu Zhong Tian formed this analysis based on what Huang Er had said.“That’s right.”Huang Er sighed a long sigh and the fan in his hand stopped fluttering, “If I am not wrong, the different forces have already investigated us inside and out. Perhaps they don’t yet know our master’s fighting abilities, but they definitely know what our House is capable of right now.”“In these past six years, we have been working hard taking care of our responsibilities. We have made the Ao Xian House a team and earned proud result.”Chu Zhong Tian appeared proud, but very soon, turned bitter. “Despite that, including me, there are only four completion leveled cultivators. Our fighting abilities are not enough to defeat any one of these forces.”“This is exactly what I am worried about.”Huang Er smiled wryly as well, “It’s no longer a matter of whether or not we should go. There are only two paths before us. First, to bend down and second, to be destroyed.”“Don’t be so pessimistic. The master is still inside the Ao Xian House.” Chu Zhong Tian remembered that terrifyingly capable young man and couldn’t help but smile.However, Huang Er’s brows continued to remain locked, “He’s been in isolation for five years and there hasn’t been any news. What if…”“There are no ‘ifs’!”Huang Er couldn’t even finish when Chu Zhong Tian interrupted him. He stared him down, “Our master has insane talent and garners favorism from the heavens. There is no way he is harmed.”“Aye, you have misunderstood. The reason why I am the way I am today is because the master has blessed me. Why would I curse him.”Huang Er sighed and explained, “I meant, what if he doesn’t exit his isolation? What will we do then? As you know, the worst thing to do to someone in isolation is to interrupt them. If the Tian Xuan House invades us and interrupts master, wouldn’t that be bad?”Hearing this, Chu Zhong Tian’s brows once again wrinkled up. He was very much worried that what Huang Er described would happen for real.If that happens, then not only will the legacy they’ve been working so hard on be utterly wiped out, Ling Xian will also be in danger.At Chu Zhong Tian’s silence, Huang Er remained quiet as well.At once, the room turned terrifyingly quiet.Only after a while did Chu Zhong Tian speak slowly and broke the silence.“Let’s go. But we will not go to bend over. We will go to see if we can form an alliance with others who are willing to accompany us to stop the Tian Xuan House’s ambition.”Huang Er nodded. “Based on the situation on hand, it is probably the only way. However, let’s not be too hopefully.”“I understand. No matter what the result is, we need to try to earn it.”Zhu Zhong Tian was very determined and his voice was powerful, “My life is worthless. But we cannot let the Master be harmed.”“That’s right. We need to ensure the master is safe.”Huang Er’s expression was stern. “If we have to, we will put behind our pride and ego and bend down to the Tian Xuan House. No matter what, we cannot endanger our leader.”“Then it’s settled. Let’s prepare and head to Tian Xuan House.”Chu Zhong Tian’s expression was serious and full of resolve.Just as the two of them were getting ready to head to the Tian Xuan House, the sealed palace finally fidgeted.The moment the fidgeting appeared, an explosion occurred, shaking the trees and the mountains. Like the descendant of a God, its powerfulness suppressed three thousand miles and its prowess awakened all nine levels of heaven!The moment this terrifying amount of energy dissipated, the silhouette who was sitting in a lotus position on the tatami opened his eyes.Instantly, light beams shot out of his eyes and pierced through space!
