Shi Lang did not move a hand and the issue of the Three Houses produced a domino effect. Within seven days of the announcement, the people who had long been blaming the elders of the family for smearing the lineage took action.
Situ Tian Hu and his bunch of cronies were all assassinated in the dark of the night, and their corpse were used to feed beasts. The same thing took place in the Du and Ting families. The ruling powers in the family changed, and the size of the families shrank drastically.
The Terran was shocked when he received the news. He did not expect the elders to be this cruel but then again they did not seem to have much option. Either they got rid of the crooked old beams to straighten the pillars or they go their own ways. This cleansing action led the fame and the size of the three families decrease a lot.
However, given the foundation they had, as long as they worked hard to improve themselves and did not incur public backlash they would grow into strong powers again.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Shi Lang found out that Tong Bai had requested to be present at the moment when Situ Tian Hu was killed and took his last breath. She was happy to see that the person who killed her husband was dying in such a manner.
The Terran stood at the precipice of the cliff in the Tian Jian City. The elders of the sect have returned. Hao Mei and Yu Xeidi were the only ones staying beside him with Hou Bing. Tonight Shi Tao was coming to discuss something with him.
Shi lang knew what she would tell him. He did not have the heart to tell her that he was going to the Dao Plain. As he was looking at the horizon, a calm voice sounded in his ears, "Baba, what are you thinking about?"
Shi Lang sighed and replied, "Thinking about how to tell you that I am about to get busy again."
Shi Tao walked closer to him and leaned her head on his shoulder. She held his arm and said, "Remember the time when you got infected by Demon Energy and spend your time cleansing yourself?"
Shi Lang nodded and replied softly, "You were so angry that I was not there."
Shi Tao nodded gently before she said, "Yes, the thing is, after you ascended I was angry again, but then I saw mom. She worked hard to catch up to you. I remember questioning her once, why do you work so hard? You know what she said?"
Shi Lang shook her head and Shi Tao said, "She told me that the strong are destined to go ahead. If they give up their stride for the sake of the people they love. Then love becomes a shackle. The true meaning of love is to set the strong people free so that they can carve a path which can be followed by the others.
I did not realize the meaning of this sentence until Mom also ascended to come to your side. However, when it was my turn to do the same, I realized what she meant. My daughter also did the same thing that mom did for you. So, I made peace with the understanding of the fact that you are destined to lead the way, after all, you are the Ace of Terrans."
Shi Lang nodded and took out three full fledged communicators. He handed them to the three people and said, "This is a device that my people made, it can help us with seamless communication and also scouting. So, I would like you to familiarize with these before we leave."
Then he taught them how to use the communicators which shocked them and after a few hours when they had finished all their preparations, Miwa Nova said, "We will meet at the central square, just when the sun is about to rise, at the peak of dawn. Do not be late or we would miss out the chance to enter the Dao Plain."
The trio nodded and then they left the place. Shi Lang spent his time sorting out the information through the information he had on Souls. There was a lot of knowledge and he needed time to read. His body was cultivating on its own, he did not have to worry about increasing his spiritual energy, only comprehension mattered to him at this stage.
The night passed very quickly and Shi Lang opened his eyes just a few minutes before the Dawn. He appeared at the central square, where a tall pillar stood. Tian Jian, Ming Yanzi, and Miwa Nova appeared beside him a few moments later, and Nova said, "This pillar is one of the ten thousand pillars that uphold the weight of the Dao Plain. It is said that if the blood of a guide falls on the Dao Pillar, the pillar would collapse and the Dao Plain will break."
The three people nodded, after researching about the Dao Plain, they all knew what she was saying. This legend was popular, and it prevented all the Guides to be protected, after all, no one is willing to stake everything for the sake of an experiment that could create an obstacle in their paths to the peak.
Nova said, "The importance of finding a legacy in the Dao Plain is significant. Even the lowest level of legacy can lead someone to the realms of Dao Sage. A realm that has not been seen in the Immortal Plain for a very very long time."
Shi Lang nodded in understanding, as he said, "Why have the humans not find anything their in such a long time?"
Nova replied, "Because they have never been able to confront the races who block their paths. You might need to slay a lot of people before you can get a glimpse of the legacy."
Shi Lang looked at the other two people and said, "If you both agree, can I take command for the battle?"
Tian Jian chuckled and said, "Brother Shi, you do not have to ask you that. We are going there only because you are here."
Shi Lang nodded and asked, "Elliot did not came?"
Nova shook her head and replied, "Her realm is not yet strong enough to enter the Dao Plain. She will join you guys later."
Shi Lang nodded and then they watched the sunlight peek through the horizon and a portal appeared under the huge pillar.
