Chapter 218 - Broken Connection

When Lory busy try barbeque the rabbit, Hei Shen sect was busy handling the northern clan movement turns out The Lu Clan gather a lot of other clans to attack Hei Shen Sect, Somehow they knew one hundred herbs apothecary is connected to one of the Hei Shen King Palace so a few stupid people who want curry the favor with Lu Clan wanted to make trouble at the one hundred herbs apothecary.

Unfortunately, they were stopped before they even try and than they realize Hei Shen has controlled over the information that circulates along the whole continent so they always knew before they're enemy make a move and the idea of Hei Shen knew everything they said or done make everyone feel wary.

Zhao Li Xin had leave Sun Jan city he is on the way to the north, he remembers Huo Long also told him to go north because some weapon at first he agrees to find that weapon for Lory but after she's gone he doesn't care anymore maybe is a wishful thinking he thought he can always protect her when he can't protect her from someone like Tang Mei Yi, he's so full of himself…what a joke!

Zhao Li Xin sits alone in the rock in above him the sun goes down tainted the sky with pink and red color the mountain with pines tree cover with white mist slowly turn to grey, Lory sketchbook is on his lap he flips the page where's the picture of him and her from behind, he is right now is almost exactly like in the picture the big difference is she's not beside him.

He caresses the picture with a bitter smile than suddenly his hand stop and he closes the book abruptly.

"What do you want?" he said with impatient tone, he didn't even turn around to face the uninvited guest his eyes fixed on the mountain view.

"Xin'er…" Tian Meng Ji stands in anguish behind him, he didn't know how to face his disciple and his cold greeting only make him sadder but he needs to face him sooner or later so he braces himself.

"Should you fight with all the northern clan?" Tian Meng Ji asked.

"They asked for it…" he said casually.

Tian Meng Ji can only see his back so he didn't know his expression, well it doesn't matter he uses to make expressionless face anyway.

"I know you are strong but, how could you fight them all?" he said anxiously "Can you find a middle ground for all of this, I believe they don't want to have a war with you too"

Zhao Li Xin chuckle "Compromise? With people who treat her dead lightly?" Zhao Li Xin turns around than he looks at Tian Meng Ji with mocking expression.

Tian Meng Ji feel awry he also one of the people who thought Lory dead is not worth to make war and put Zhao Li Xin's life on the line and everything he had for that girl is obviously unworthy.

"Luo Ri Yi would not want you to do this…." He reminds him.

"DON'T YOU EVEN DARE SAYING HER NAME!" Zhao Li Xin roar his eyes turn darker then the night he looks at him viciously, something he never did to Tian Meng Ji no matter how much he had upset him, Tian Meng Ji was dumbfounded he feared they're relationship is unfixable.

"Xin'er, I'm you're teacher how could you treat me like this for a mere woman!" Tian Meng Ji can't hold his anger anymore he had been his teacher for over the decade even though he didn't give much but they're relationship is always been good so why everything fall apart just because of one woman.

Zhao Li Xin balls his hand into a fist, his eyebrows drawn so close and his eyes turn violent "Mere woman you said…" he hissed with sharp voice, he takes one step forward and Tian Meng Ji feel chilled down to his spine he feel like a rabbit in front of the wolf he knew he had to make thing worst between them.

"They're's one time I think to seek you're advice about relationship thinking you should be happy with any woman I choose, so silly of mine….I should have known in this barbaric, cruel and pretentious world their's no such thing, unconditional love, I should have known you will never understand….you, who run from you're own family because you can't accept you're Brother is better then you in every way…" his words are bold and blunt but he is not wrong and Tian Meng Ji can't refute him, its true he is being petty he can't be happy with his owned brother succeed and tired being compared all the time with his brother and so he left and he never return for almost thirty years.

"Xin'er, for better or worst I'm the one who teaches how to cultivated and I help you so you're poison didn't get worst, do you say it means nothing for you?"

"It does," Zhao Li Xin said calmly "That's why I didn't ask you're responsibility about Lu Yao and Tang Mei Yi had done..." if only Tian Meng Ji could let go his obsession with Lu Yao, if only he doesn't feed Tang Mei Yi infatuation to Zhao Li Xin too much everything might not escalate this far.

Suddenly Mong Ki and Mong Yi appear walked toward him in hasted than they kneeled on the ground "Sorry for the interruption Milord but the Lu clan army has come!" said Mong Ki.

"A little bit sooner then I thought…"Zhao Li Xin calmly said.

"They coming Milord" Mong Yi point at the red sky.

They're's hundreds of black dot in the sky and they fly in a high speed, Zhao Li Xin watch them with evil smiles on his face their's no anxiety or worry in his face only excitement, the black dot turns to be a flock of crane with wide wing and black tail above every crane their's a man who ride with it.

"A profound level beast of Bifang firebird" Mong Yi murmured.

Although profound beast might not give too much threat for people who have high cultivation like Mong Yi and Mong Ki but hundreds of them? That can be a problem.

"What would you do Xin'er?" Tian Meng Ji glance at Zhao Li Xin, he knew his disciple has exceeded him but to handle hundreds of profound beast level combine with the people who ride with it, he doesn't think it would be an easy tasked for Zhao Li Xin.

Tian Meng Ji feel conflicted on one hand he didn't want him to hurt but on the other hand, he wanted Zhao Li Xin to realize how absurd his behavior was.

Zhao Li Xin watches the flock of birds in a relaxed manner "I handle this no one intervenes…" he reminded them.

"Yes, Milord!" the Mong's brother said simultaneously.

Tian Meng Ji stunned and his face turns pale "Xin'er, what do you think you doing!" he wants to grab his shoulder to stop him but Zhao Li Xin already walks away from him.

The leader of the flock of Bifang shouted arrogantly "Long Ming if you want to surrender we will give you a chance!" he mocked at Zhao Li Xin "Just tell everyone you felt sorry and this all will go away!"

he smirked at Zhao Li Xin, from they're secret informant he knew Zhao Li Xin is alone and only accompanied by a few people so they take this chance to intercept him and perhaps they would able to kill him if they can kill Long Ming how great the Lu Clan family would be, the Lu Clan glory would spread to the whole continent and no one dare to against them after this.

"Go away? But I don't want you to go away" he said with a disappointed face, Zhao Li smiles wickedly he slowly wears his gold masked and his dark eyes filled with murderous intent.
