Chapter 837 - 835: Return to Tianshu Manor
"Tianlong, get up quickly. The failure of this task was within my expectations. If I’m not mistaken, did the data disappear from the ship?"
"Yes, Master, how did you know?"
"Haha, who do you think I am? Of course, I know." Fang Yan gave a mysterious smile and said, "Alright, Tianlong, you don’t need to blame yourself anymore. Let’s just move past this. If we can’t retrieve the list, we have to focus on ourselves. As long as we are strong enough, we can protect our home."
"Okay, I understand, Master." Chen Tianlong stood up from the ground and suddenly thought of something happy, saying, "Master, I forgot to tell you some good news. I have already integrated these Heart Methods. Isn’t that what you said would happen if the Weakness Perception training was completed?"
"Oh? So fast?" Fang Yan was taken aback, a bit surprised. This little guy is truly extraordinary. To have mastered such a difficult skill like Weakness Perception in less than a month is remarkable.
"Yes, anyway, when I use my Martial Techniques, they can integrate seamlessly with my Main Heart Method without interruption," Chen Tianlong said with a proud smile.
"Wow, congratulations to you, my disciple." Fang Yan was also pleased for Chen Tianlong, truly a martial arts prodigy. He had indeed not judged him incorrectly.
After chatting for a while, Chen Tianlong suddenly asked, "With the list gone, what should I do next?"
"You don’t need to do anything, just act as usual. The Black Alliance has just obtained the list and can’t send anyone immediately. It will take some time, and I have fairly good intelligence over there, so you don’t need to worry. I will notify you as soon as I have any news," Fang Yan said with a slight smile.
"I see, then I’m on standby." Chen Tianlong could not overlook issues related to national interests. People could bully him, but he could not allow the people of Huaxia to suffer.
After bidding farewell to Fang Yan, Chen Tianlong went to Tianshu Academy to find Mo Jing. After a conversation between them, Mo Jing finally expressed her true feelings emotionally.
She really wanted to be with her brother. Even if it was dangerous, she was willing.
Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, "Xiaojing, it’s not that your brother doesn’t want to be with you, it’s just that the situation is very critical now. If we return to South Sea City, there is always a possibility of danger."
Chen Tianlong remembered the recent incident where Wu Mengting was kidnapped and taken to the Capital City by the Celestial Wolf Gang, and he still felt a chill. He was truly powerless against it. If people wanted to target you, they would snatch those close to you at the slightest unawareness, making it impossible for him to guard against.
Therefore, Chen Tianlong felt that the safest place for his sister was here.
Mo Jing looked heartbroken but eventually gritted her teeth and agreed. Leaving Tianshu Manor, Chen Tianlong was also distressed. Seeing Mo Jing unhappy made him unhappy as well.
Although the two were not biological siblings, Chen Tianlong really liked this sister. Their bond was stronger than that of biological siblings. Her mother had told him before leaving that Mo Jing’s identity and physique were very special and that he must protect her, ensuring that no harm came to her.
Therefore, Chen Tianlong would risk everything to ensure nothing happened to Mo Jing.
Driving the car, Chen Tianlong was deeply troubled but didn’t know who to talk to. He continued to drive aimlessly.
Mo Family in South Sea City.
Shi Xiaohong arrived in South Sea City with two disciples of the Celestial Pill Sect and went directly to the Mo Family. After all, the Mo Family was one of the most direct puppets of their Celestial Pill Sect.
After receiving the notice, Mo Yun dared not be negligent and went straight from the small cottage to the Mo Family’s main hall. At this time, everyone from the Mo Family, big and small, came out to greet him. Mo Chou dared not offend the people of the Celestial Pill Sect. Even his senior Mo Yun took the initiative to act, which showed how powerful the other party was.
"Haha, Elder Shi has arrived, sorry for not welcoming you from afar, quickly, please come in," Mo Yun said very respectfully.
"Oh, indeed it was not a welcome from afar, you made us search so hard, why is South Sea City so rundown? There’s no signal on the highway," Shi Xiaohong, spoiled by the Celestial Pill Sect since childhood, spoke rudely and was arrogant and domineering.
"Haha, sorry, our small city can’t be compared to Five Elements City beneath Xing Mountain, which is a city comparable to the Capital City," Mo Yun tried flattery.
Shi Xiaohong looked at Mo Yun’s flattering face and smiled bitterly. This bootlicker sure knows how to flatter, but he liked it.
"Alright, we are very tired, prepare meals and rooms for us. After eating, I want to rest." Shi Xiaohong acted like a lord, treating their place like his own home.
This left the Mo Family Patriarch Mo Chou speechless, but he dared not speak up. Even Mo Yun, the senior, had to be extremely respectful. How dare he act out? He could only endure it.
"Yes, yes, we have prepared everything. As for the rooms, they will definitely be ready after you finish your meal," Mo Chou could only say with a smile.
Fortunately, Mo Shaoyun was not home. Otherwise, seeing such a scene, he would have erupted in fury.
The subsequent meal was filled with the two Mo Family elders constantly nodding, bowing, and flattering, leaving the surrounding servants dumbfounded. They did not know who these three people were or what the Celestial Pill Sect was, to make the Mo Family elders so respectful.
The Celestial Pill Sect, a place where gods gathered, was accessible only to sect leaders and high-ranking cultivators from various major sects.
Located between the Five Elements Mountain Range, as the name implies, the Five Elements Mountain, a gathering place for Five Elements Attributes, possessed a rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. However, over time, the Spiritual Qi became less abundant and much thinner.
Nevertheless, it remained a place yearned for by many high-level cultivators.
The reason was simple. It gathered numerous experts, including some high-level members of the Cultivator Association who also trained there. Moreover, the annual Cultivator’s Trial held here attracted much attention.
The trial was held every July, after the summer solstice, at an unscheduled time, lasting three days. Those who passed the trial received substantial rewards, including a high-grade Qi Gathering Pill and a high-grade Great Rejuvenation Pill.
These pills were worth billions, so many relatively poor cultivators worked hard in their training to participate in the Cultivator’s Trial held every three years.
A significant registration fee of ten million per person was required for the trial.
While successful trial-goers could earn big, it was not easy. Apart from the treacherous trial site, very few managed to pass the final hurdle. Even the traps designed by the Celestial Pill Sect itself could wipe out the entire group.
However, this upcoming trial was different. The Celestial Pill Sect’s ancestor, Pure Yang Daoist, finally deciphered the mystery. On the eighth of December, which was Laba, when the Five Elements Constellation’s gravitational force was strongest, taking advantage of this moment, finding the Five Elements Yangzi and the five Five Elements Yinzi, there was hope to open that place’s gate.
