Chapter 581 Heavy Measures.



Shi Lang sat in his courtyard, waiting for Mei Lingyao to finish talking to the elders of the sword peak. They needed to leave the place, and as their core disciples, the youngsters needed permission from their masters.

After a few hours of discussion, Shi Lang was informed that the core disciples were ready to set off. He tidied up his disappearance briefly before he walked out of the courtyard. He came before the Peak Master's courtyard and found all the core disciples present in the place.

Shi Lang greeted them and watched Mei Lingyao handing a jade boat to Wen Lengxue. He said, "Peak Master, do you want us to alert the enemy that badly?"

Mei Lingyao glared at him, and the Terran said, "The enemy is not simple, and I will not believe that the surroundings of the Spirit Heart Sect are untouched by demonic cultivators. If we are to travel in a spirit vessel, the enemy will be alerted, and the lives of those captives or warriors hiding or being held captive by them will turn even more difficult."

The peak master placed her hand on her hips and asked, "Do you plan to stain the image of the spirit heart sect?"

Shi Lang sighed and said, "We will have enough reputation for the people to even think twice about attacking us. The reason will not be to show strength. We will come back with enough glory after clearing the entire region."

Mei Lingyao wanted to say something when Shi Lang turned to gaze at his senior brothers and two sisters, "Let's go."

Then he took out his sword and stepped on it. Liang Ping followed him along with Hu Shan, Xu Guang, and Bai Yan. Wen Lengxue was confused about what to do, and then she also jumped on the spirit sword and left the sect.

Mei Lingyao sighed and said, "This guy has led all of them astray."

The elders smiled and did not comment. They knew that Mei Lingyao had been trying to make these people act in a low-key manner. However, they never treated her seriously. Shi Lang was the master of strength greater than them. That was why they respected him. The Terran was younger than them, yet not only did he defeat them countless times, but he also gained their respect.

...

Shi Lang flew through the void with his hands behind his back, and his face was calm. Hu Shan flew on his left wing, and Liang Ping flew on the right. They have considered asking Shi Lang for intel on this demonic clarification expedition.

Shi Lang seemed to have sensed something from the mood and said, "The southern region of the Tian Kingdom is manifested with Demonic cultivators. They have sent out people to investigate, and the result was confirmed. The reason I am intervening is so that I can help the Shi Family of Tianxue City. The young miss of that family is a general in the army and is akin to my sister. I cannot have her die at the hands of the demonic cultivators."

The people understood that this matter was not only about morality and emotional attachment. Shi Lang sighed and continued, "Do not think too much. I will leave the sect later and travel to the central plains."

The people moved through the void, and it did not take long to reach Tianxue City. Shi Lang did not waste time and came to the Shi Family manor. As he stepped forward, he could sense the gloom pre-emitting the wind. He furrowed his brows and wanted to get in when the guard at the door announced, "Young Master has returned! Young Master has returned!"

The disciples with Shi Lang were surprised, and Wen Lengxue asked, "Junior Brother Shi Lang, why are they reacting like this? Are you related to this clan?"

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Yes, coincidently, the founder of this clan was a person whose blood flows through my veins."

The disciples were surprised as they all nodded and followed Shi Lang inside the manor. The Terran greeted a lot of people on the way. Soon, they arrived at the main hall, and Shi Lang located his youngest sister, Shi Ting. He sighed when he looked at the downcast girl and said, "Ting."

The young girl was sitting on the chair in a daze, and this voice woke her completely. She raised her head when she found that it was Shi Lang. She did not hold back and rushed into his arms. She cried bitterly while holding him. Shi Lang sighed as he gently patted her back.

He said, "Do not worry. Are you not strong anymore? I am here now? I will get Ning back."

Shi Ting nodded, but her sobs did not stop. The terran turned around and found the haggard second miss walking over. Her pale face and slow pace showed her daughter's situation was killing her internally. The young man sighed and said, "Second Aunt, why are you worrying so much? I am here, no?"

The Second mistress of the Shi Family was a soft-spoken, introverted lady, and it was hard to see her in this situation. Shi Lang consoled the little girl and then the lady for a bit before he said, "Second Aunt, these are my senior sisters and senior brothers."

The lady stepped up to greet the people, and Wen Lengxue and Bai Yun talked to her about something while Shi Lang left the hall to see the three elders of the Shi Family.

...

Shi Lang entered the hall and found Shi Yua and Shi Wei kneeling before Shi Yulong. The expressions on the faces of the three people were twisted, and the Terran said, "So, are you two finally deciding to rebel?"

Shi Yua and Shi Wei raised their heads in surprise when they heard his voice. Shi Lang waved his hand, lifted the two girls from the floor, and said, "I am here. You do not have to go through trouble anymore."

Shi Yua frowned and retorted, "Big Brother, with all respect, please tell me why we should not bother with it?" n-/ov)el/UsB.c.o-m

Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "I am not asking you to not bother about it. But I will be heading in to deal with the demonic cultivators and rescue Ning. The reason behind this is your power level. You all have grown stronger, but the cultivation realm is not needed only when facing a cunning foe."

Shi Yua wanted to say something when Shi Lang radiated a strong pressure. Although this pressure was not harming them, they could tell he was stronger than all of them. The Terran said, "The spirit heart sect has taken up the expedition to clean the Tian Kingdom's southern region. I have gotten a few senior brothers and senior sisters of mine to join me on this task. Do not worry. Ning will be fine."

Shi Yulong nodded solemnly, and Shi Yua said, "Big brother, are we supposed to watch all this from the sidelines?"

Shi Lang shook his head when he heard the melancholy she had. He patted her head, saying, "Yua, you need to look after things that only you can do. The news has been leaked among the masses, and the people are in panic. Your task is to locate the people who are spreading this news. Gather evidence that they have a connection with demon groups. If they are innocent, detain them till I come back or feed them some pill that makes them speak the truth and only the truth."

Shi Yua and Shi Wei exchanged glances, and they nodded. They were willing to do anything except for sitting on the sidelines. They also understood that the terran had allowed them to grow stronger. This investigative assignment will allow them to learn about the cunning side of the world. Shi Lang said, "Yua, take Ting along with you. She is inching toward a breakthrough."

The girls nodded and took the queue, and they left the hall. Shi Lang bowed to the three men, and they bowed back to him. Shi Shanwang said, "Xiao Lang, you have gotten stronger."

The pressure earlier had shocked them. Shi Lang, on the other hand, calmly shook his head and said, "Do not worry, I will deal with this issue, but Patriarch, please focus on increasing the strength of the disciples. Select strong disciples and send them for assessment in various sects."

Shi Yuwan frowned and said, "Are we not to support the Royal Family?"

His question was simple: They were a family that supported the Royal Family, and the Royal Family was always against the sects. If they supported the sects to train their disciples, it would make things difficult for them.

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "You do not have to worry. Nothing like that will happen. The Kingdom can never be strong enough if they make enemies of the sects. The royal family is delusional. Sects are too aloof to care about the secular world."

The elders were surprised, but the next moment, a golden light began to condense around Shi Lang's body, and the young man spoke directly in their minds, "If they tired to mess the harmony of this family, I will step forward. However, you are not to violate the agreement with the royal family."
