All the disciples of Zhentian Sect continued to move and arrived at a place where residential arrangements had been made for them by the Tang Emperor.
It was a very fine renovated inn. It actually belonged to the Royal family of Tang State. It was very wide and its space was more than enough to accommodate all 17 members of Zhentian Sect.
“You have to find your own room to rest, tomorrow morning, be ready to enter Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, and seek for your own chance.’’
Elder Yu explained to the group: “In addition to that, the disciples of Qiansi Sect practice core law based martial art, and you can find material on these martial arts on these bamboo slips, you can watch them on your own, I will not remind you again.”
Soon, each member of the group received a bamboo slip, on which were inscribed several characteristic features about the peculiarities of Qiansi Sect, and in addition to that, there were also some records on the martial techniques of Hanbing Sect on the bamboo slip.
After getting the bamboo slip, Long Yu went to the second floor and found a room for him, and sat near a table and carefully watched the records described on the bamboo slip all alone.
“The disciples of Qiansi Sect practice the Core law based shadow tactics, and after its successful practice, they are be able to manipulate their own human shadows in fight, many martial skills branch from it and came into existence, but the art of manipulating human shadows is very sinister and ruthlessly fearful, and very difficult to guard against.”
Manipulate one’s own shadow during a fight?
Long Yu’s brows slightly wrinkled, and he quickly remembered that some time ago, he saw the human shadow of the so called princess of Qiansi Sect at the city gate.
The disciples of Qiansi Sect could separate their bodies and shadow at will, and could launch attack using these shadows, moreover, these shadows could also speak. It was really very strange.
In Tianyu continent, martial cultivators had done several researches on Xuan qi which led to the rise of various schools. In the final analysis, the essence of core law and martial skills of Qiansi sect used Xuan qi to manipulate shadow, which was quite a special technique.
“This kind of fighting, I have never encountered before, after entering the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, I must always be careful and try to avoid places with shadows as far as possible, to avoid being sneak attacked ……”
Long Yu thought to himself, and continued to watch the data described on the bamboo slip to get a further understanding of the disciples of Qiansi Sect.
As for the martial art of Hanbing Sect and Zhentian Sect, there was not much difference between them. If disciples of Hanbing Heart disciples comprehended the mysterious mood of their sect’s core law, then it would significantly improve their fighting ability.
“The Zhentian tactics of Zhentian sect contains the mysterious mood which is based on the world principle of suppression, then the core law of Hanbing sect should contain ice-cold related world principle, right?” (Mystique- Zhentian tactics is the core law of Zhentian sect. Core laws are unique to all sects.)
Long Yu guessed, during this trip to the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, he should not encounter an opponent who had already comprehended mysterious mood of their respective sect, but it was not necessarily true either, so he must be prepared for all situations.
He carefully studied the martial characteristics of Qiansi Sect and Hanbing Sect, and kept them in his mind, because this information gathering was very important, and tomorrow, after entering the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, it could save his life.
The time passed, and in a flash, several hours had already passed.
Someone knocked at the door and Long Yu suddenly heard a voice.
“Brother Long Yu, are you in the room?”
A somewhat familiar voice reached the ears of Long Yu.
“It is him?”
Long Yu heard this voice and remembered that it was the voice of the disciple who was quite active on the way, it was Ling Han.
Ling Han, a disciple of Zhentian Sect, now at Wudao seventh layer, could be said the strongest person after Tan Jian in the trip.
Long Yu had a good impression about Ling Han, because Tan Jian was hostile to Long Yu, but throughout the way on this trip, Ling Han had showed a friendly gesture to him.
Ling Han always desired in his heart about the unity of disciples of Zhentian Sect and hoped that everybody could get a chance to reap benefit in Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest!
“Brother Ling Han, what happened?”
Long Yu thought for a moment then asked loudly.
“Well, Brother Long Yu, in a while, the princess of the emperor clan of Tang State is going to arrive at Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, I want to go out for a walk with you, if we get a good look at royal princess then that would be awesome!”
Ling Han, standing at the door, elegantly and courteously said.
Royal princess?
Long Yu felt a bit of headache, he came across the princess of Qiansi sect at the Royal Ancient Ginseng city gate, and now came the actual royal princess of Tang State, why in the world were so many princesses coming to this city?
Of course, Long Yu understood that the royal princess, about whom Ling Han was talking about, was the genuine princess and that princess of Qiansi sect was only a hidden title given to her by people.
“The royal clan of Tang State has built the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest and also controls all of the seven large sects of Tang State.’’
Long Yu’s eyes flashed with some touch of anticipation.
He had vaguely heard before that he was actually an abandoned child of a big aristocratic family of the Imperial city, and sooner or later, he would go to Tang Imperial City to find out his true identity
Now, the royal princess was about to arrive, so he might as well have a quick look at her.
“Since fellow brother has personally come to invite me, how can I possibly refuse?”
Long Yu replied and got up to go with him.
It was not so that he was really interested in the royal princess, but he actually wanted to have a look at the elegant demeanor of the members of the so-called royal clan of Tang State!
“Aha, now that brother Long Yu agreed to come with me, we have six people together, let us go!”
Ling Han laughed.
Long Yu opened the door and saw a tall man wearing a white dress and a hat adorned with a jade pendant, he had an elegant temperament, and after looking at him once, a person couldn’t help but have a favorable impression about him.
This tall youth was Ling Han.
“Brother, they are waiting below, let’s go.”
Ling Han smiled and turned around to go downstairs.
Long Yu was behind him and saw that there were four other people waiting at the door of the inn downstairs, but their cultivation was not as ripe as Long Yu.
When they saw Long Yu, all of them had somewhat discontented appearances on their faces, but since they were concerned about Ling Han, and gave him face, so they didn’t say anything.
Six people travelled together, and were walking in the chilly streets of Royal Ancient Ginseng City in the cold night.
Usually, few people used to come to Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, therefore, the entire city was quite empty, and the whole Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest was actually a back garden constructed by the royal clan of Tang State.
Therefore, once a year, the emperor of Tang State invited some of the Sects to come and pick ancient ginseng from the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, and in a way, it worked as a training to produce powerful martial artists for the bright future of Tang State.
“Hey, it is people of Hanbing Sect.”
Halfway down the street, they suddenly saw that not far from them, there were four disciples of Hanbing Sect, also walking on the same street.
Long Yu gave a casual look to them and was immediately surprised for a moment.
He was surprised to find out that among the four disciples of Hanbing Sect, there was a woman wearing a light green dress, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and a bronze sword scabbard was hung around her waist.
Feng Yao!
Long Yu immediately recognized her. The woman was really Feng Yao, and at that time, she was carrying a bronze long sword, a top grade battle weapon that she had obtained from her father, Feng Longsong.
On the side of Feng Yao, there was a handsome youth dressed in fine clothing and was walking side by side and quite close to her, and from this, one could see clearly that both of them must have good relations.
Then, those four disciples of Hanbing Sect naturally saw Long Yu’s group of six people.
“Look, the disciples of Zhentian Sect.”
“The one walking at the forefront is Ling Han right? Looks pretty strong, I do not know his current strength level.”
Two female disciples of Hanbing Sect suddenly talked to each other.
By this time, Feng Yao tilted her head and finally saw Long Yu in the group.
When Feng Yao saw Long Yu, she was extremely surprised and suddenly raised her black eyebrows: “Is he? How is this possible?”
The handsome young man, who stood by the side of Feng Yao, noticed the sudden change in her complexion and couldn’t help but asked: “Sister Yao, whom did you see?”
“It is the waste I told you about, but how could he possibly be here?”
Feng Yao said at will while pressing her eyebrows.
“That waste?”
The handsome youth beside her gawked then immediately followed the line of sight of Feng Yao’s eyes and finally located Long Yu in the group of Zhentian disciples!
Long Yu, at this time, was walking behind Ling Han and had an indifferent look in his eyes.
Long Yu went out to see royal princess but ran into Feng Yao. Of course, he had long been expecting to see Feng Yao, not now, but he simply did not care. Tonight he came out just to “look reverently” at the elegant demeanor of the royal clan, so, as far as settling his account with Feng Yao was concerned, after entering Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, he would have plenty of time to slowly play with her.
However, Long Yu didn’t want to pay any attention to the opposite party, actually, he did not want to pay attention to them paying attention to him!
Then, Long Yu saw that the handsome youth standing next to Feng Yao sneered and even walked straight towards him.
As that youth moved, three other female students of Hanbing Sect, including Feng Yao, would naturally not stand idly and also followed him.
Seeing the threatening look on the face of that handsome youth, Ling Han smiled then stepped forward, and actually directly blocked his path: “You are a disciple of Hanbing Sect, if you have something to say, say it but don’t act unreasonably!”
When that handsome youth of Hanbing Sect heard this, a color of disdain emerged in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand and pointed his finger towards Long Yu and said: “Let that waste come forward, I have something to tell him!”
Seeing this scene, all four disciples standing on the side of Long Yu went one step back, they didn’t want to get involved in this conflict!
At that time, Ling Han still stood in front of Long Yu’s body, and was entirely still, so as to hide Long Yu behind him!
“You are in the Royal Ancient Ginseng City, don’t go too far.”
Ling Han still had a smile on his face as he said, but this time, there was a hint of threat in his tone. Although the opposite party was being aggressive, but he was not made of soft persimmon either, how could he just stand there and face the opposite party’s rude behavior?
“Well, Brother Ling Han, let me come forward.”
Seeing the protective attitude of Ling Han, a warm feeling appeared in the heart of Long Yu.
At this time, Ling Han actually had stepped up to help him on his own accord, but how could Long Yu possibly allow Ling Han to get involved in this matter?
Moreover, it was Long Yu who had a grudge against Feng Yao, not Ling Han!
And Long Yu did not think that Ling Han would be able to solve this matter.
“Brother, you ……”
Ling Han turned his head and looked at Long Yu, and clearly saw the bubbling confidence in his eyes, and then said with a soughing smile: “Well said, come forward, show yourself!”
Ling Han recalled that in Zhentian Sect, how Feng Yun was shot to fly in the air like a ball and was seriously injured!
He knew that Long Yu was strong and also had his own secrets.
Ling Han was arbitrarily getting involved which actually did not seem proper.
“Waste, so you have really come out of the group, your courage is actually not small, I thought you only know how to hide behind others.”
When the youth saw Long Yu coming forward, a contemptuous smile appeared on his face.
But, Long Yu simply did not pay any attention to him.
He tilted his head and looked at Feng Yao and asked with a casual smile on his face asked: “Little Yao, long time no see, why do you have a dog on your side that only knows how to bark randomly?”
Dog that barked randomly!
Hearing this sentence, the complexion of that young man instantly changed. How did this waste even dare to call him a barking dog in front of so many people?
“He is my cousin, a member of the Liu clan of Imperial city, Liu Mingxuan, and like me, he is also a disciple of Hanbing Sect.”
Feng Yao indifferently said, and at that time, there was a color of taunt in her beautiful pair of eyes, as if she wanted to see how Long Yu would react to this.
Imperial City, Liu clan, Liu Mingxuan!
Long Yu finally knew the identity of this barking dog. So he was actually the cousin of Feng Yao, someone from her maternal side of family!
Unexpectedly, Feng Yao’s mother Liu Yu was actually someone from the Imperial City, but how did she get married to Feng Longsong?
Did that mean, Feng Longsong had already left his own footprints in the Imperial City?
This was getting more and more interesting!
Long Yu thought to himself, then, if he wanted to know his true identity, it should particularly not be too difficult. As long as he would go to the Imperial City, he should be able to unravel many puzzles.
