Chapter 272: 10 Days

The message was simple,

Tianlong Yun:" Everything is okay, nobody moves!"

He guessed this would be enough to keep them out of this place for some time because he was sure that after those dark clouds disappeared, those people would come here immediately.

And it was head-on, because as soon as Tianlong Yun disappeared towards his Old Pouch, 4 old fogies appeared where he was lying down, and started to check around the place.

While they couldn't find any sign of someone being close to this place, since they were more interested in the guy who could pull off such a Heavenly Retribution, they did find the manual.

Actually, at first, Tianlong Yun wanted to place 4 identical manuals in there, and so there would be one for each of them.

But people tend to doubt more on the supper easy things, so that was out of the question. That was why he left only one copy in there.

He would find a way to spread the other copies to the other guys, but right now, one was all he left behind.

It looked like it was that manual who had gone through the Heavenly Retribution before the old fogies came here.

It was kind of believable, especially since there was no sign of anyone else at a large distance from this place. Even their closest people were too far away.

So that hypothesis seemed more probable, but they were old fogies for a reason, they wouldn't believe something so easily.

The most important thing wasn't that though. Right now the most important thing was who was going to pocket the manual.

It was needed to each and any one of them, and none of them would even let it go as a joke. It was a good thing that Tianlong Yun was safe in his Old Pouch with Tianlong Xia and Gao Ling.

Because another storm was about to begin on the outside, but this time it was a human-produced storm and not a Heavenly Retribution.

A normal person could not see what was happening there, it was only 4 big clouds fighting each other, clashing with each other as if their life depended on it.

But that was something that didn't have anything to do with Tianlong Yun and his entourage, inside the Old Pouch.

Right now he was lying on the ground with Tianlong Xia on his side, and Gao Ling trying to take care of both of them.

Since this would be Tianlong Yun's secluded cultivation place, they had already taken all the precautions and there were a lot of provisions and resources.

It would be more appropriate to say, that the Old Pouch had become the treasury of the Shadow Clan.

At the moment Tianlong Yun was in better shape than Tianlong Xia but that was only because she had already used everything she had, on Tianlong Yun earlier.

The good thing was that it was worth it, and Tianlong Yun not only managed to create his new bloodline but also open the first Gate of Healing.

Even now he could feel that his body was getting regenerated at a crazy speed, it was approximately 10 times faster than his previous normal regeneration.

Just this was enough to make every single moment of pain worth it. Now he would be up and kicking in less than three days. That was great news.

At the same time, he could feel that his body had been powered up by a lot. Just his new bloodline kind of doubled all his previous strength.

And the Gate of Healing increased them even more. Right now he was certain that he could battle with a 10 level Foundation Establishment Real cultivating artist.

Even though he himself was still a 5th level Qi Refining Realm martial artist.

This alone could show the power-up he got tonight.

There was only one thing that destroyed his happiness right now though. The fluctuations coming from the battle outside.

Perhaps he had been too rash in placing that manual there, in the middle of those 4 old fogies. If they fought to the death, then it was surely bad news for him.

He couldn't break the new alliances he so hardly built. Furthermore, there was also the Dark Organization and that Ancient Devil Beast.

Those two were his true enemy, and he would need these old fogies to fight against them for some time. To keep them under the wraps, and not let them go bonkers before he was ready.

He had to keep the status quo like it was for as much as he could. More time to the war meant more time for him to get ready.

But there was nothing he could do at the moment, besides staying there put, and not releasing any presence, otherwise the old fogies would have a new toy.

It took more than a week for the clashes to finally smooth down, and the people outside to reach apparently a deal with each other.

Tianlong Yun didn't know what was happening outside, and there was no way he could go out and see what was happening. He was just happy, that the clash seemed to have reached an end.

All this time, he had been concentrating on his new bloodline and power. He was trying to get used to his new strength.

It was a bit difficult at first, but he managed to make a lot of improvements. Right now he could perfectly use around 80% of his new power.

He still had some training to do before he could use all his power without having any problems.

Tianlong Xia on the other hand, after recuperating started cultivating together with Gao Ling, and helping her with knowledge about cultivation.

Even though she hadn't liked Gao Ling at the beginning, seeing her work hard for her hubby, made Tianlong Xia look at her from a different perspective and angle.

That was why she decided to train her better and make her a better tool in her hubby's hands. What happened after that, would be in Tianlong Yun's hands.

It took another 3 days for the clashes to finally break down, and serenity to be restored to the place. There were no more fluctuations today, and most probably the old fogies had reached an agreement.

This was good news for Tianlong Yun and his group because they could finally have a look at what was happening outside.

Not to mention that the Shadow Clan had been left without a proper leader for all this time, and who knows what might have happened during these 10 days.

They couldn't even use their mental communication, otherwise, they would have been found out by the people fighting outside.

For security reasons though, Tianlong Yun decided to not make a move until the next day. You never know what could happen, not to mention that the people outside were too powerful.

They were the true behemoths of this Planet at the moment. The strongest people on Earth at the moment, they made the rules.

So it was better to be safe than sorry.

The next morning Tianlong Yun used his 'Vanishing Powder' and his stealth technique to get out of the Old Pouch and have a look at the situation outside.

Getting out he was stunned to say in the least, there was no more a mountain around here, it had turned into a big canyon.

With charred rocks all over the place. These old fogies had truly pulled their punches though because if they hadn't then this place would be a gigantic hole and not just a canyon.

Seeing the aftermath, Tianlong Yun was once again reminded of how weak he was, and how much he had to work, and cultivate to become stronger.

With these thoughts in mind, he started running around the canyon to see if there were other traces of the old fogies, but apparently, they had left the place.

This was good news for him! Finding a new small cave in the new canyon, Tianlong Yun placed the Old Pouch into a secretive place, and then called out Tianlong Xia and Gao Ling.

Seeing them come out, he said,

Tianlong Yun:" Turn back and see what is happening with our foundation and deal with any unexpected thing yourself.

I need you to bring Huo Lan here as soon as possible, I will notify you when I need something else."

With that said, he gave them each one last kiss, and entered the Old Pouch, leaving the ladies in their own work.

Looking at each other one last time, Tianlong Xia and Gao Ling seemed to have understood each other's thoughts and started running outside the canyon, towards Tianchang City.

Differently from Gao Ling, Tianlong Xia was really worried about what might have happened within the Shadow Clan, these days that she hadn't been around.

The truth was that besides her, and Tianlong Yun she didn't think the others were good temporary leaders for the Shadow Clan.

That was why she was running faster and faster so that she could learn what was happening as soon as possible.

It took them a while to get out of the canyon, and then run for the city, that seemed just like when they left it.

Buzzing and boiling due to the happenings all these days. Firstly that terrifying earthquake and now a mountainous area had turned into a big canyon.

Everyone was speaking and talking to anyone listening to them, everyone with their own original conspiracy theories.

For which Tianlong Xia and Gao Ling had no time to listen to.

As soon as she entered the city, Tianlong Xia sent a mental message to Tianlong Hu Die, Lu Bing, and Tianlong Yue notifying them of her arrival.

Gao Ling was following behind her as a maid of sorts. She didn't dare walk on the same step as the 1st wife of the Patriarch.

What Tianlong Xia was paying attention to right now though, was…
