Jen and Zhi Chang shifted in the new lodge, it was amid the market place, it was provided by the old merchant.
After the merchants were able to hire this Legend for the job, they were at ease, but still few of them were worried.
"You should not have given this proposal, I admire that young man but he alone won't be able to fend off if the mugger brought someone with him this time, there is a limit to face the level of enemy," a concerned merchant reminded, it was evening now and they were talking about the incidents of the whole day sitting in a group.
"Do you think the young man is alone, you were only paying attention to the surface while I observed something more important," the old merchant spoke and nodded his head at the concern of this merchant.
"What did this senior observe?" the merchant was little surprised, what was something which he missed during battle.
"The young man and his apprentice, both were like a strong fist, everyone only observed that young man was fighting yet his companion was standing silent, she was not actually standing idle, she was diligently keeping eyes at the crowd and even the friends of the mugger, did not you notice how they fell one by one?"
"This, I was also curious why they suddenly fell on ground licking dust, does this old merchant know?" the young merchant asked the old man, this old man was quite experienced and he was also stuck at the Crown Sage Realm from a very long passé.
There was a limit to cross levels and age was also stronger aspect to reason this limit.
"The girl is equally strong and they care each other much and they respect the decisions of each other, you see she did not deny the decision of her apprentice, though she was not interested to take this responsibility," the old man explained.
"Oh, how do you know that she was not interested?" another merchant spoke.
"She is some noble with lots of sources with her or if my imagination is not wrong perhaps with a strong backing," he spoke and the merchants almost squirted out the tea they were sipping on.
"Are not you exaggerating?" one of them who dirtied his robes with the tea waved his hand, they can admit that perhaps would be strong too but having a backing was not some joke.
"It's up to you whether believe or not," old man stood and walked away.
Though he was a merchant but he has heard rumors from the Dean and elders of the cultivation school, they talked about a certain girl and how she looked like, they portrayed her image whenever they talk.
The Dean and elders of the only cultivation school of Clandestine Manias went to spectate the intermediate competition battles and they returned with awe after witnessing how geniuses secured their rankings in the top ten.
The old merchant was friends with the Dean and he happened to hear about certain girl who have the backing of Highest Standing, though he was not sure about identity but anything can be possible in this sphere, she could appear in this Manias, no?
This was the reason that he hired them because of their strong position, he knew they won't reveal their true identity, and probably if his arrow was set rightly then it would trigger something big in this Manias.
The old merchant was thinking broadly, if his years of experience proved right then this Manias would definitely meet its redeemers soon.
He did not express all his thoughts openly because a silent wait was better than inoperable and hopeless commotion.
"I don't know if this old merchant behave enigmatic on purpose," a young merchant spoke who was unable to decipher half of his conversation.
Most of the senior cultivators who literally got retired and decided to no more struggle with the breakthroughs were concerned but they were helpless against the crown lady.
Inside a densely rich essence source, a man cultivating, his deep brown hair was swaying because the essence force was at the peak and he was absorbing blasting energy after the breakthrough, he was third royal of the second elder, with this breakthrough he finally surpassed his own father and became much stronger.
His father who was guarding his room was immensely happy for his third son, his breakthrough could prove very helpless in the near future because he was planning to get support from other elders and defeat crown lady.
They could finally stand against her.
"You are sitting here while the second elder is preparing to defeat you," a man came rushing in the crown hall and fell on his knees.
He was fourth elder and one of the loyal men of this crown lady, the elderly lady sneered, "How come he gather this much courage?"
She was clearly confident at her strength and of course her trustworthy backers.
"His third son is the reason behind his boast," the elder told.
"He was cultivating from previous a year I remember, did he made it?" considering at the restrictions she was forcing at the disloyal elders, it was nearly impossible for any kin of the royal families to advance their cultivation levels, and this would be quite surprising if he made it.
"He successfully breakthrough a month ago and now he is amid stabilizing his level and breakthrough," the elder elaborated honestly.
"Then let's finish this succumb before he come knocking at my head," she stood up, "Come along in case second elder try to hinder my path," she side glanced at the fourth elder and fled toward the residence of second elder.
Second elder was alarmed because he caught some notion who was coming to see him but who told about his son.
He specially prepared this vault for his son to cultivate and become stronger, he also hide about it from everyone still it was known to her.
Her dominion broke the entrance of the residence and she charged straight inside.
The second elder came running to stop her.
"What do you think that you would be preparing someone to stand against me and I would keep shut my mouth, you are right, I will shut my mouth but my dominion won't stop until your third son is dead," she laughed mischievously.
"I won't let you do this no matter if I lose my life today," he charged with his dominion, there was clear difference between the fiber essence of their dominion and this difference was the reason that made them afraid of her.
The third son heard the commotion and came out, he won't let this woman go unscathed, especially when his father used up all sources for his cultivation.
Crown lady shifted her attention toward the third son of this second elder, she was surprised to see his advancement.
"You spent quite a lot sources, may I ask where you got them, did not you always oppose robbery then how come you have this much to spend on your third son?" she was mocking.
The second elder cannot answer her ridiculous morals, these morals were only for those who were not loyal with her, and he clearly know how moral less were her loyals.
Crown lady gestured fourth elder to handle the disloyal while she herself diverted her complete attention toward third son of this elder.
She was experienced while this newbie was only a tad learner, their dominions clashed and blasted because of sharp howling which penetrated in the ears of listeners but this was superficial impact, the real impact was more astute.
The third son of the second elder flew back and fell, she was right, he was not experienced and suitable to face her dominion, "Sigh, your all efforts are going to waste in front of your eyes," she chuckled with an evil laughter and threw a blasting rage technique carrying her lethal dominion, the young man who was struggling to fight back looked at his chest, he could not control the incoming threat, the flesh from his chest was swept away by something and now there was only a hole and blood gushing out, he fell on the floor instantly.
The second elder saw this, his son was ruthlessly butchered in front of his eyes, and he could not do anything, he stopped fighting against the fourth elder and fell on his knees, he was defeated for all his life, he would never be able to stand again.
"Who told you to plan at my back," she turned to face the fourth elder, "Go and tell everyone about this incident and warn them never to come in my way," crown lady was bursting with her peculiar type of rage which was different for heart cultivator, the rage of two armors was in golden and blue while her rage was red blood red.
It was quite unusual and unseen.
Crown lady walked and return victorious this time again.
