Shi Lang and Lao Yuesha had finished dealing with the Juan family people and left the place after cleaning their tracks. Before leaving, Lao Yuesha asked him, "Xiao Lang, what do you think you would achieve by triggering Juan Xian like this?"
Shi Lang replied with ease, "Some moves are not made to win the battle, but to let them know there is someone out there who is capable of attacking them. Now they will search for me, but with all the people in the expedition vanished, and no leads, they will fail miserably and go crazy thinking that the enemy is stronger than them, and they will panic.
Some part of their brain, heart and soul will always be wary."
Lao Yuesha did not expect him to think so far ahead. To her this move was just an act of vengeance, however, Shi Lang was able to look past his hatred and back his move with logic, this made her pray for his enemies.
A calmer sea must be feared and respected for it can cause great waves of turmoil to the careless, and Shi Lang was a fitting personification of this idiom. His name meant a stone that created waves.
The two of them traveled for another week, and were about to enter the city when Shi Lang received a message on his communicator. He looked at the content and sent back a reply, "Happy Birthday Xiao Yu, Master is out traveling to a big city in the Easter Continent, don't worry about me, I am fine. You all should look after each other, I will wait for you here."
Fairy Moon Jade must have come out of the gateway to communicate with Tsuu Ching and found some time to check on him. Shi Lang did not disappoint and replied right away. His disciples cared a lot about him. This was the least he could do for them.
...
After one more night of travel the duo arrived at the summit of a mountain, and Shi Lang looked below as he asked, "That is the Easter Heaven City?"
Lao Yuesha nodded and said, "Yes, that is the eastern heaven. All the big forces have their homes there."
Shi Lang nodded, Lao Yuesha had told him this before, but even then, watching this behemoth of a city sparkling like a pond of stars in the dark of the night made him feel awe. He was from a lower realm but the concept of light and activity in his mind was even more clearer than the people in the immortal world.
The myriad snake noticed this and asked, "What do you think? Is it good?"
Shi Lang nodded slowly and said, "Indeed a marvelous place."
Lao Yuesha said, "This place is ranked fifth in the biggest cities in the eastern continent."
The Terran nodded, he could tell from the pride in her voice that she was flexing. He did not comment, and just scanned the place with the satellite in the void. He was going to have the Asura Hall grow into a force that would terrorize the people when they come forward.
...
Lao Yuesha said, "Don't mind them, they are all a rough bunch."
Shi Lang shook his head and said, "You think I would care about the people I am not going to meet for the second time?"
The snake lady did not say anything, she realized that she was thinking a bit too much. She smiled and said, "Did you see? I am so caring towards you."
Shi Lang rolled his eyes and remarked, "You did not seem to care when your punch caused my chest to cave in."
Lao Yuesha was immediately humbled and snorted as she mumbled, "Ungrateful brat."
She bought him to a brightly lit inn, this place was white and many people were gathered outside. The lady shook her head and said, "Move aside!"
Her sonorous tone caused the people to move aside, and Shi Lang spotted a lady who looked astoundingly similar to Amelia. His heart beat picked up pace, but just when his heart wanted to charge at the person, his mind and body did not flinch. On the contrary he raised his spear and moved forward.
Lao Yuesha patted his shoulder and said, "Sister Yue, he snapped out of the glamor, take it down." .net
The face of the lady morphed and she assumed her real face. It was completely different from Amelia. Shi Lang was still staring at her with his blood colored eyes and hair. Lao Yuesha sighed and said, "Xiao Lang, calm down."
Shi Lang closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm his mind. He bowed to the lady and said, "I apologize for losing my calm, your illusion is very strong, Senior."
The lady gazed at him for a prolonged second and then shook her head before saying, "You did not do anything wrong. The face you saw is of someone you love and respect a lot, so it was a common and quick reaction to point your killing intent at me. Sister Yuesha, You have found a good student."
Shi Lang cupped his fists in thanks, and Lao Yuesha said, "Go in, and tell them you are with me, they will give you a room."
Shi Lang nodded and entered the building. Lady Yue asked, "Is this kid a genius?"
Lao Yuesha locked her sense at him and after he was out of the earshot she nodded as she said, "If he can have some resources, he would become a pinnacle genius."
These words shocked the lady before her. Lao Yuesha had never praised a young man this much, however, it was evident from her praise that she held Shi Lang in a high regard, otherwise he would not be allowed to step in the building.
