Immortal

Chapter Volume 3 5

On the eighth day, Zhong Shan’s whole body was immersed with electricity.

Great Kun Country, Xuan City Zhong Mansion.

Within the hall in front of Zhong Shan’s courtyard, Ying Lan was pacing back and forth with her eyebrows frowning as she listened to the report given by the housekeeper.

“You said that the royal family and the four great aristocratic families have gathered an army with more than eighty thousand troops? Eighty thousand troops?” Ying Lan asked again.

“Yes, eighty thousand troops are now marching towards Xuan City in all directions, the common populace of Xuan City are all worried.” The house keeper replied anxiously.

“What about the defense of Xuan City?” Ying Lan asked.

“The defense of Xuan City is managed by our Zhong Mansion, both the city guards and army troops will obey the orders command by the Zhong Mansion, but there are only eight thousand, while the enemy has an army of eighty thousand.” The housekeeper answered fearfully.

“How are the uncles now?” Ying Lan asked.

“In regards to the various masters, and according to the report by the messenger pigeons, there have been twenty-three young master assassinated. The rest of the young master situated outside the country have been informed and to be accountable for their own safety and have informed them to hurry back. Miss, do we still tell them to return? With the huge army outside, will they dare to come back?” The housekeeper replied anxiously.

“Inform them, let all the uncles return to fight against our common enemy, no matter what, as long as great uncle returned, he can certainly turn this situation around. Let them return, furthermore this can help great uncle to filter out his foster sons to see who is truly suitable to be his sons.” Ying Lan said.

“The people in the city are scared and want to escape from the city. What should I do?” said the housekeeper worriedly.

“Humph, put the whole city under martial law and let three thousand soldiers to patrol around the city, and those who try to escape, incite disharmony or commit illegal acts, behead them. The people of Xuan City have received the kindness of great uncle and now is the time for them to repay him. No one is allowed to leave the city, those who wished to enter the city have to be properly screened, unless it is my uncles, nobody is allowed to enter the city.” Ying Lan ordered with a murderous aura.

In front of Zhong Shan, Ying Lan was like a cute and spoiled granddaughter, however when faced in dire conditions, Ying Lan was like another person as if she was a great general commanding thousands of troops.

“Yes” The house keeper replied.

The young miss was indeed similar to the old master, both of them were equally vicious and not sloppy in what they do.

“Also, have everybody go and prepare and ensure that the Eight Ox Crossbow are arranged in position, great uncle have already established different locations for each Eight Ox Crossbow. Everybody will be spilt into three shift, to ensure that we can welcome the enemy in our best state.” Ying Lan ordered again.

“Yes” The housekeeper replied.

At Kaiyang school, within the Kaiyang hall, there were a bunch of first generations disciples. Tian Xing Zi, Gu Shuang Zi and Xuan Xing Zi were present within the hall with a lady. The lady was dressed in green, looking about thirty years old and was exceptionally pretty.

However, the lady dressed in green was extremely resentful and pointed at Tian Xing Zi as if she could eat him alive.

Facing the lady, Tian Xing Zi however was not angry, wearing a guilty expression. Gu Shuang Zi who stood at a corner exposed an angry expression as if she was getting ready to argue with her. Xuan Xing Zi however was frowning at the scene and was obviously unhappy with how the lady treated the sect master.

The lady dressed in green was furious and resentful at the same time, pointing at Tian Xing Zi and said, “Ting Xing Zi, what do you still have to say, that year, that year my sister disregarded my parent’s opposition, even rebelling against her family and clan to be together with a spineless coward like you.

You, are you worthy of my sister? Why did my sister pass away and not you? How was my sister so blind to like someone like you?” The lady pointed angrily at Tian Xing Zi as if sentencing him to death.

Standing in the corner, Gu Shuang ZI could not endure it any longer.

“Enough, it has been eleven days, and you have treated sect master coldly each day, are you satisfied? The sect master’s wife has indeed pass away, but we have told you over and over again the sect master’s wife was willing to die for sect master and died willingly.

Do you think that the sect master felt good about it all these years? Elder, are doing this intentionally? If the sect master’s wife did not ask him to continue to live well, how could the sect master continue living? Could he still have raised Ling Er up?” Gu Shuang Zi could not help but uttered it out.

As she heard Gu Shuang Zi’s words, the lady in green glared angrily with her chest puffed in rage.

“Junior sister, stop talking, she scolded me correctly, I should have died, I should have died earlier to find Wu You.” Two drops of remorseful tears flowed down his eyes as he replied.

“Elder Sect Brother, what happen then was not your fault, you should continue to live, there will be a chance for you to take revenge for Nie Wu You.” Xuan Xin Zi consoled gently.

“Revenge, how can I take my revenge if I do not even know who was the one who did it!” Tian Xing Zi roared madly.

After the lady in green venting her anger, she continued to glare at Tian Xing Zi. Seeing the state that Tian Xing Zi was in, she clearly knew how Tian Xing felt then.

The death of her beloved sister ten years ago was a reality, furthermore before her sister died, her sister told Tian Xing Zi to not inform her family. Her Sister entrusted herself to Tian Xing Zi who stood before her, but Tian Xing Zi did not protect her, did not protect her at all.

“Let me ask you, how about Tian Ling Er? You did not protect my elder sister and you just let Tian Ling Er out like that? What if she met any danger?” The lady in green asked angrily.

“Ling Er, I placed her in the care of someone who I can trust, with him around, Ling Er definitely would not be in any danger.” Tian Xing Zi hurriedly replied.

“A dependable person? What is his cultivation? Is it Tian Sha?” The lady in green questioned.

“It is not Tian Sha, it is a new disciple called Zhong Shan with a cultivation base at the third level of Xian Tian.” Tian Xing Zi replied.

“The third level of Xian Tian? How is the third level of Xian Tian dependable? Do you not care about Ling Er anymore? Laughable, Laughable!” The lady in green spoke in anger.

“If I said that Ling Er is safe then she is definitely safe. ” Tian Xing Zi suddenly spoked loudly as if he could not endure it any longer, the words of the lady in green were touching the limits of Tian Xing Zi’s patience.

“Father~~! ”

A loud cry came abruptly from outside the Kaiyang hall. The loud cry sounded extremely haggard, extremely longing and desperate.

?

As soon as he heard the cry, Tian Xing Zi was alarmed and quickly flew towards it without paying his respects to the crowd.

How was it possible? Why did Ling Er cry out in such a manner? The inner energy was depleted and she looked extremely exhausted.

Gu Shuang Zi and Xuan Xing Zi flew out together, while the lady in green seemed to figure out who was it and quickly followed them.

As Tian Xing Zi flew out of the hall, he saw a sorry figure whose hair was messy and face was full of dirt.

The lightning and tears from before caused the resin previously applied on her face to be smudged, making her entire face seemed dirty and was impossible to see her original beautiful porcelain doll-like appearance.

However, Tian Xing Zi could still tell Tian Ling Er apart with one look, Heavens, how did Tian Ling Er become like this? How did she ended up in such a sorry state, her body was on the verge of exhaustion. How did this happen?

Tian Xing Zi rushed up to embrace Tian Ling Er, pouring his Zhen Yuan into her body achingly and swiftly produce a medicinal pellet, placing it in Ling Er’s mouth.

Zhong Shan? How did he handle things?

As the lady in green saw the state of Tian Ling Er was in, her heart tighten up, this is my elder sister’s daughter? How did she end up like this? Heavens, how did Tian Xing Zi bring her up?

Ling Er pushed away Tian Xing Zi’s hand that was holding the medicinal pellet and quickly cried, “Hurry, hurry and go save Zhong Shan, Hurry!”

Tian Ling Er cried as she wailed bitterly as it the time she took to consume the pill was all it required to save Zhong Shan.

“Zhong Shan? Eat the pill first before speaking slowly.” Tian Xing Zi replied anxiously. How did his daughter end up like this, what happen exactly?

“No, no, hurry, he is within the ravine where the Thunder Flower is, hurry, dad, go and save Zhong Shan quickly, I beg you, please go and save Zhong Shan.” Tian Ling Er refused to eat the pill and plead unceasingly.

“Ok, you stay here and recuperate, junior sister please take care of Ling Er for me, I will head out to find Zhong Shan.” Tian Ling Er replied hesitantly, ignoring what exactly happened, refusing to think more about it as he felt sorry for her.

“No, No, I want to go, I want to go too. If Zhong Shan died, I, I do not wish to continue living.” Tian Ling Er wailed.

At the moment, everyone knew how grave the situation was. They absolutely have to rush to the location Ling Er said.

“Let’s go” Tian Xing Zi hugged Ling Er and flew out of Kaiyang school.

Gu Shuang Zi and Xuan Xing Zi naturally followed behind.

The lady in green looked at the scene and her heart were in turmoil. This was elder sister’s daughter; how did she end up like this?

Following the rest of them and the lady in green shouted at the sky, “Qing er!”

“Yin~~~”

A cry suddenly broke out from the horizon, and a black dot flew swiftly to the front of the crowd.

It was a huge Green Luan about a hundred meters long, incomparably large. It was indeed the same Green Luan that he had seen before they entered the Golden Lock of the Eight Gates.

“Come aboard, the Green Luan’s speed is much faster than yours.” The lady in green shouted out.

Tian Xing Zi did not hesitate and quickly step on to the back of the Green Luan.

“Qing Er, it is an emergency, sorry to trouble you.” The lady in green said.

“En, relax.” The Green Luan could actually spoke in human language.

Soon under the guidance of Tian Xing Zi, they flew swiftly in a direction.

At this moment, Tian Ling Er saw the lady in green and cried out loudly, “Mom, is that you?!”
