Shi Lang had spend six months in the Blade Wood Forest. He perfected the movement technique and his strength also increased. His cultivation realm was now at the peak of Immortal Sovereign Realm. In the past six months, he has been given a lot of natural heavenly treasures by Lao Yuesha.
His foundation was stable as she also sparred with him and his body absorbed the effect of the treasures to the maximum level. Shi Lang also learned a lot about the system in this world.
His spear skills had grown beyond imagination. Lao Yuesha herself turned out to be an expert in spear art and she was crazy strong. Shi Lang had grown stronger and his intent was much sharper and condensed but he still could not see through her.
Shi Lang was resting after the intense training session with Lao Yuesha. The latter asked, "Xiao Lang, what do you intend to do after your training is over?"
Shi Lang thought about it and said, "I would like to grow stronger. My strength is not yet good enough to fight against the Holy Land."
Lao Yuesha nodded and said, "It is good that you know, as for getting stronger. Well, I will take you to trials for the Martial Spirit Hall."
Shi Lang asked, "Martial Spirit Hall? What is it?"
Lao Yuesha smiled and said, "The Martial Spirit Hall is one of the top ten forces in the immortal world and their pursuit is longevity and martial supremacy. Thousand years ago, they used to be so strong that even the Dao King realm experts longed to join them. Although with times there strength has declined a bit.
However, if you manage to become a direct disciple of the Martial Spirit Hall, the Juan Family will amount to nothing but a stack of pebbles."
Shi Lang thought about it and asked, "Teacher, I don't think it would be that easy for me to get in, would it?"
Lao Yuesha replied, "Your perception is still on point. Martial Spirit Hall issues various tasks that have not been completed for over hundred years, and those who can complete these tasks alone, they can join the inner sect, those who team up can only enter the outer hall and if your team is bigger than two people, than you will enter as a handyman disciple."
Shi Lang frowned and said, "They sure have high standards."
Lao Yuesha smirked and asked, "What else do you expect from the top ten forces of the Immortal Realm? Even the handyman disciples there are Immortal Sovereigns."
Shi Lang looked up at the tree branch where Lao Yuesha was sitting. She sensed his gaze and said, "Don't think I am judging or demoralizing you. However, this is the truth. If you can complete the task on your own, and your strength is still at the peak of immortal Sovereign realm you will only enter the outer sect."
Shi Lang sighed, and said, "What do you want to do now?"
Lao Yuesha said, "This place is still under the Blade Wood Forest and here lives the clan of Fate Cats. They are allies of the entire forest and also the guardians. Since we have come across this situation we will need to help them."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Alright."
He put on the hood of the Void Beast Cloak and his black mask too. He said, "I am going in."
Lao Yuesha nodded as Shi Lang took a step forward and vanished. They could tell that the place was illusion because the pond was too calm. It was as if the water inside has frozen.
...
Inside the illusion, Shi Lang appeared behind a tree, he sensed the region with his ability and found a dozen or so men and women walking in the region. They all seem to be searching for something. He did not know what they were looking for, but he was sure that something was definitely up.
He slowly moved closer to the person who was moving alone through the woods, and heard him mumbling, "This Juan Xi is such an entitled bitch. She thinks of us as if we are her slaves. She wants a cat so we have to go and hunt for a cat. Bitch."
Shi Lang's gaze turned cold, and suddenly he heard a faint voice, "Kan, can you stop messing around. Do not bad mouth her, if she found out, you will better wish to die."
Another young man came over, and Kan replied, "Jun, do you really think this is how someone should act?"
Jun shook his head but they appeared to be novices. Shi Lang took out a couple of needles, they were smeared with the poison from the blade wood forest. This thing could even knock out a Dao King level spirit beast let alone these two young men. Shi Lang flicked his fingers and the needles stabbed in the back of there necks.
The young men fell to their knees and after a few moments they were paralyzed completely. Shi Lang had used a controlled dosage, and he had tried it on many beasts in the past.
He appeared before the two men, and revealed his red eyes. The next moment, he was inside their minds and searched their souls. He found that they were servants in the Juan Family, and they were here with the young miss of the Juan family, this woman was Juan Xi, and she was loved by Juan Xian a lot. After all, they were both twins.
Shi Lang narrowed his gaze and his fists clenched tightly. He took out a small knife and stabbed the two people in their foreheads. His eyes revealed an excited emotion, after all this travel had given him a chance to kill a member of the Juan Family, how could he not be excited.
