Chapter 964 - 962: People of the Ice Spirit Manor
Murong Fa ran away to notify the people from the Ice Spirit Sword Manor. After all, this is the Forbidden Land of the Ice Spirit Sword Manor, and someone actually emerged from it, even destroying it.
So, once Murong Fu, his father, learns of this, he’ll immediately send people to besiege them.
Chen Tianlong watched Murong Fa run while glancing back with a mischievous smile, feeling something was amiss.
Upon reflection, why was this guy here? What kind of place was this?
Forbidden Land?
Wait, could this be the Forbidden Land of the Ice Spirit Sword Manor, and Murong Fa was able to cultivate here, which means he’s definitely a disciple of this place. No, a specially pardoned disciple, otherwise how could he cultivate in the Forbidden Land?
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong immediately said, "Xiaoyu, Shen Yan, we need to leave here quickly, or else it will be troublesome later."
The two young women nodded. They had no reason to doubt Chen Tianlong’s words. Even if they had become experts, they were still women needing protection here with Chen Tianlong.
They were used to relying on him and even liked this feeling.
The three quickly descended the mountain but were soon surrounded by the sect’s forces before even reaching the foot of the mountain, just within the courtyard of the Ice Spirit Sword Manor.
At this point, Murong Fa reappeared before them along with an unfamiliar young face, Murong Tian.
Murong Tian looked at the people before him, the two beautiful young women, and the young man about his age, all not seeming like wicked individuals. Yet Murong Fa claimed the young man was vicious.
"Who are you? Why did you intrude into the Forbidden Land of our Ice Spirit Sword Manor?" Murong Tian asked warily.
"I’ve already explained; we got lost while traveling and stumbled across here by chance. Thank you!" Chen Tianlong said, slightly impatient.
"Humph, pretty arrogant indeed; Murong Fa wasn’t wrong at all. You are truly a bad person." Murong Tian was naive, judging someone’s character solely based on a single statement.
"You are the bad one! Your whole family is bad!" Seeing Murong Tian calling Chen Tianlong a bad person, Lu Xiaoyu was upset.
She walked in front of Chen Tianlong, pouting as she retorted.
Murong Tian was taken aback, then assessed Lu Xiaoyu closely, realizing this girl was truly striking. Having never seen such a beauty, Murong Tian’s interest was piqued, as if discovering new land.
"Ahem... Beauty, isn’t he a bad person? Trespassing our Forbidden Land." Murong Tian scratched his head, feeling a bit confused upon hearing the young beauty speak to him this way.
"Of course not! Tianlong has been wonderful; he has protected us all the way, ensuring we’re not harmed at all. If he injured someone, it’s definitely because they wronged us." Lu Xiaoyu defended.
"Well..."
"Ahem... Murong Tian, don’t listen to this witch’s lies; they’re in it together, trying to trick you. Quickly capture them and send them back to the Manor Master for punishment; they trespassed the Forbidden Land last night too."
Murong Fa realized the situation was unfavorable; Murong Tian always got captivated by beauties, and without a reminder, he’d surely fall for that cute girl’s deceit.
"Right, you intruded into our Forbidden Land, so you are bad people. I’ll capture you to see my father, then." Murong Tian finished speaking, not allowing Lu Xiaoyu to speak further, rapidly waving to signal everyone to apprehend them.
At this point, Chen Tianlong pulled Lu Xiaoyu beside him and began preparing for battle.
"Chen Tianlong, let me tell you, you’d better not act rashly; this is Murong Tian, the Young Sect Master of Ice Spirit Sword Manor, with Celestial Dao Three Star strength. If you truly think you can defeat him, then go ahead." Murong Fa warned.
"Hiss..."
Chen Tianlong took a deep breath. Truth be told, he initially wanted to force his way through, creating a path for escape with the two girls. But hearing this now seemed rather troublesome.
Murong Tian noticed Chen Tianlong’s disbelief and immediately executed a cultivation technique, fully showcasing his Celestial Dao Three Star strength.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong frowned. Murong Fa indeed didn’t lie. Although Murong Tian might not know whether Chen Tianlong could discern his strength, he could at least make him feel a strong Powerful Qi Wave, intimidating him somewhat.
"Alright, we’ll go with you."
Chen Tianlong wasn’t intimidated by Murong Tian, but rather reminded of Lin Wushuang’s situation.
Previously, Lin Wushuang was taken from the hotel, possibly by people from the Ice Spirit Sword Manor. Now, having a chance to enter the Manor, he could seize the chance to search for traces of Lin Wushuang.
"Chen Tianlong, not fighting anymore?"
Shen Yan was puzzled; this didn’t quite seem like Chen Tianlong’s style, giving up so easily.
Chen Tianlong turned to her and whispered softly near Shen Yan’s ear, "The people here are very strong; we need to strategize. Don’t worry, I’ll figure out a way to escape."
With Chen Tianlong’s words, Shen Yan nodded. After all, it didn’t concern her much; as long as Chen Tianlong was around, even a dragon’s lair or tiger’s den didn’t frighten her.
It’s not necessarily about having greater strength to escape; having a sharp mind is key.
Speaking of intellect, Chen Tianlong was undoubtedly the most formidable in her eyes, always able to turn crises around.
As for Lu Xiaoyu, she generally follows Chen Tianlong’s lead without any hesitation; wherever he goes, she follows.
Soon, the three were taken to the hall of the Ice Spirit Sword Manor; at this point, several elders sat in the hall—one being Manor Master Murong Fu, the rest being four elders, along with two brothers from the Murong Family.
All these individuals are of Celestial Dao level, with Manor Master Murong Fu being Celestial Dao Five Star, the strongest among them.
"Boy, I don’t care who you are; trespassing into our manor’s Forbidden Land means, according to the rules, you must suffer harsh punishment. Will you act by yourself, or should I?" Murong Fu glared at Chen Tianlong coldly and asked.
"What rules? I don’t quite understand." Chen Tianlong felt extremely annoyed being threatened like this for no reason.
"Humph, do you want to answer me, or do I force the answer out of you?" Murong Fu arrogantly said.
For him, it doesn’t matter who you are; in his territory, he’s the boss, and since Murong Fa is from the Ice Spirit Sword Manor, he must be supported, and one cannot show weakness in front of outsiders.
Therefore, Murong Fu will definitely lean towards Murong Fa and not Chen Tianlong.
"Um, do I really have a choice?" Chen Tianlong said calmly.
"Old man, aren’t you too self-important? Chen Tianlong has already explained; we ’hit the wrong target by mistake’ when we came in, and didn’t steal or rob. Why so aggressive?" Shen Yan spoke up this time, believing Murong Fa maliciously reported first.
"Shut up, did I allow you to speak?"
Murong Fu’s face soured as he glared at Shen Yan. Seeing the pair around Chen Tianlong were two lovely young women, he immediately thought this person must be lecherous, or why would he travel with two beauties? What does it mean?
Shen Yan was also tough; being scolded by Murong Fu, she gritted her teeth, quite baffled.
