Chapter 638 - Visiting The Flying Sword Sect
"Unfortunately, there really isn't much you can do against the Blood Sect. Even if you kill their Sect Master, another one will eventually rise to that spot. You can maybe try killing all of the higher-ups in the Blood Sect, but that is easier said than done. There's a reason they have existed for thousands of years despite countless experts trying to wipe them out." Feng Yuxiang said to him.
Yuan pondered about Feng Yuxiangs words. If he cannot do anything against the Blood Sect, what should he do about Pang City's situation? It was not as though he could give up and abandon them.
After thinking for a moment, Yuan turned to look at Lord Luo and said, "Do you mind if I stay here for a few days? I will try to come up with a solution, and just in case they attack."
"Of course! You can stay here for as long as you want!" Lord Luo immediately said.
Suddenly, one of the people there said, "I'm sorry, but what can you do against the Blood Sect?"
"The Blood Sect has multiple Spirit Masters, and their Sect Master is also a Spirit Grandmaster. Not even an entire sect can stop them, much less a couple of young people. I say we evacuate the city and seek protection from one of the bigger sects such as the Heaven and Earth Palace or the Grand Sword Mountain."
Everyone there turned to look at Yuan for a response, even Lord Luo, who had immense faith in him, cannot imagine a Spirit Warrior defending against the Blood Sect.
Of course, he was not aware that Yuan had become a Spirit Grandmaster during the few months he was gone.
"It's just a few Spirit Masters. My Young Master can handle even a Spirit Lord, much less a Spirit Grandmaster." Feng Yuxiang suddenly sneered.
"W-What? A Spirit Lord?"
Yuan then released his Spirit Grandmaster aura and said, "I alone can defend the city from the Blood Sect."
"S-S-Spirit Grandmaster?! How is that possible?! You were only a Spirit Warrior before you left a few months ago!" Lord Luo exclaimed.
"What?! A Spirit Warrior?!" The others were also shocked.
"Don't even bother thinking about it. My Young Master's talents are incomprehensible." Feng Yuxiang said to them.
Yuan continued, "I am not the only Spirit Grandmaster. These two are also Spirit Grandmasters."
He pointed to Feng Yuxiang and Lan Yingying.
"Three Spirit Grandmasters!"
Lord Luo immediately got onto his knees and said, "This junior apologizes for not greeting these seniors earlier!"
The others also followed suit and bowed to them.
In their eyes, Spirit Grandmasters were akin to gods— immortal cultivators that live in a different world.
Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you guys doing? Hurry up and stand up. We're already far past the greeting stage."
"Anyways, as long as we're here, I promise you that the Blood Sect won't cause any trouble."
"Thank you, Daoist Yuan!" Lord Luo said.
Sometime later, Yuan said, "I am going to the Flying Sword Sect. Feng Feng, Yingying, can you two stay in the city just in case the Blood Sect attacks? I won't be gone for long."
"Why are you going there, Young Master?" Feng Yuxiang couldn't help but ask.
"I am going there to pray for them," he calmly said.
"Don't worry, we'll keep the place safe." Lan Yingying said.
"Thank you."
He turned to look at Min Li and continued, "Sorry, but we'll have to delay our journey for a few days."
Min Li shook her head and said, "You don't have to say anything to me. Even if you delay it for a year, I do not have any rights to complain."
Yuan left the place shortly after with Xiao Hua by his side.
With Yuan gone, Lord Luo felt incredibly anxious with two Spirit Grandmasters that he wasn't familiar with acting as guards there.
"Hey." Feng Yuxiang suddenly looked at Lord Luo, who trembled upon feeling her gaze.
"Y-Yes!" He stood up and responded in a stiff manner.
"Calm down, I won't eat you or anything. Anyways, can you tell me about the Young Master's relationship with this city? I would like to know more about him."
"I'd also like that as well." Lan Yingying agreed.
Lord Luo nodded, and he proceeded to recall how Yuan protected their city from the Mountain Lord's invasion.
After he finished telling them the story, two more people showed up in the room, and they were Luo Li and Luo Ling, Lord Luo's daughters.
"Father! I heard that Brother Yuan had returned to the city! Where is he?!" They immediately began inquiring about Yuan.
Seeing these two pretty ladies, Feng Yuxiang raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who are you?"
"They are my daughters, Esteemed Senior." Lord Luo said.
"Luo Li! Luo Ling! Hurry up and greet the Seniors!" He then said to the two.
"But what about Brother Yuan? We didn't come here for them!" Luo Ling said, unaware that they were Spirit Grandmasters.
"Insolence!" Lord Luo immediately became angry.
Feng Yuxiang raised her hand to stop Lord Luo, and she said to the sisters, "Tell me about your relationship with the Young Master and I will tell you his location."
The sisters exchanged looks with each other. Young Master? When did Yuan obtain such a beautiful woman as his servant?
Luo Ling, the older sister, stepped forward and said in a proud voice, "We're his future concubines!"
And she added a second later, "…Hopefully!"
Although Yuan never officially accepted them as his concubines, Luo Ling didn't think too much about her response since she was only responding to a mere 'servant'.
"What?!" Feng Yuxiang's eyes widened with shock.
"T-They are only joking with you, Esteemed Seniors…" Lord Luo quickly said.
He then turned to look at his daughters and frowned, "They are Spirit Grandmasters! Watch your language!"
"What?!" The sisters' eyes widened with shock after learning this information.
They then got on their knees and apologized for their behavior.
Meanwhile, Yuan and Xiao Hua arrived at the Flying Sword Sect— at least what it once used to be.
