Chapter 07

3 days after Bai Yingzu broke through to the next kingdom, a gigantic albatross with translucent amber feathers flew over the lower region of the southern mainland. His speed had far exceeded the speed of sound, creating gusts around him and breaking all air resistance.

One of the men on the albatross spoke. "Senior Ying, we will be there very soon." This man was one of the minor elders of the Ying clan, Ying Jinghua.

Ying Long widened her eyes snapping out of his meditation. He got up and walked over to the younger elder. He greeted doctor Chenfang, who greeted him in a friendly manner.

As they waited to get close to their destination, they both started talking about old times. Ying Long and Han Chenfang had been friends since childhood, a few hundred years had already passed by now, but the memories of all their adventures still prevailed.

...

In the Bai clan. Coincidentally on this day the Yezi clan had agreed to hold a new engagement celebration, an engagement in which Bai Yingzu had been replaced by Bai Jin. Almost all the important people of both clans were gathered. The celebration carried the feeling of a festival, drums rumbled and something similar to trumpets roared in the sky.

There was a parade made by both clans where they showed the execution of their martial techniques, in this you could see the combat skills that each member possessed. They ranged from late-stage mortals to late-stage energy realm cultivators.

At the long table of honor located outside the clan plaza, on the right side sat the 5 elders of the Bai clan assembly, plus two of the 5 grand elders, which included Bai Yonger the grand main elder. On the left side sat the 10 elders of the Yezi clan assembly and 3 of the 5 main grand elders.

Bai Yonger who was sitting next to one of the main elders of the Yezi clan said. "I hope this little show will be to the liking of the Yezi clan."

The great elder of the Yezi clan laughed in a good mood. "This is a show worthy of the powerful Bai clan, my Yezi clan dare not complain about the hospitality that has been extended to us." The old man's words were humble. Bai Yonger continued to smile thinking that the old man next to him was simply too hypocritical, trying to appear condescending, but that he would act differently if he was in a better position.

Bai Yonger despised the Yezi clan. The idea he had in his mind about this merchant clan was that they possessed boundless hunger for power, cunning charlatans, and dishonorable liars. As for the reasons for wanting to unite the two clans, this was only because the Bai clan needed the trade routes that the Yezi clan had built. If not for that, Bai Yonger would have preferred not to have any relationship with the Yezi clan.

Before Bai Yonger continued the conversation. A loud sound of breaking glass was heard in every direction, the Bai clan's barrier trembled unsteadily and fell to pieces. The elders' eyes narrowed like slits. 'An attack on the Bai clan'. They all thought.

...

"Senior Ying, we have arrived. I will give notice to lift the barrier covering the territory." Said the younger elder.

Ying Long shook his head. "There's no time. Keep going, I'll take care of opening the barrier."

Han Chenfang showed a complicated smile. He felt that Ying Long was being too impatient, just like in the old days, he was acting without thinking of the consequences.

Ying Long stood on the head of the great albatross, and raised his fist towards the barrier. Gathering an immense amount of energy he unleashed his cultivation strength, causing the sky to darken momentarily. When he moved his fist there was a great roar that shook the sky.

BOOM!

The barrier trembled, and fell to pieces. The great albatross showed no reaction to what had happened, calmly passing through the opening created by Ying Long's fist. He hovered near the Bai clan's outer plaza and stopped there.

"Senior Ying, please wait a moment. I will go down to report our arrival." The younger elder showed an awkward smile.

Before he got off the albatross, Ying Long stopped him. "There's no time, stay here. I'll go down with Doctor Chenfang." With a stiff smile the younger elder nodded.

Ying Long turned to Han Chenfang. He could only smile sheepishly. He sighed and got up. Both of them jumped 100 meters high, and fell gently as if they were floating.

Before the incredulous looks of those present. Ying Long's gaze fell on each of those gathered looking for someone, he frowned seeing a large crowd. "What are all these people doing here? Is the Bai clan celebrating some festival?" Ying Long wondered.

"Looks like we've interrupted at a bad time." Han Chenfang said.

"Nonsense. There is never a bad time for my arrival." Not finding the person he was looking for, he had an idea. "Very well. All those who do not belong to the Bai clan leave right now. This old man needs to meet with the important members, he does not need the presence of small fish."

Hearing Ying Long's words, many of the Yezi clan frowned. These hadn't been the kindest words to say to an important trading clan like them. It was definitely an offense.

Bai Yonger recognized Ying Long. As he was about to say a few words, one of the elders of the Yezi clan stood out from the crowd. "Who do you think you are to talk about the Yezi clan like that!" Releasing his cultivation power in the late-stage earthly realm took a step forward, he thought that with his intervention he could win the favor of the Yezi clan's head elder by showing bravery over invaders who had been rude to the Yezi clan. the. "I will show you who is the little fish in the big pond."

Ying Long's expression darkened. "What who am I. I see that these generations have become braver -". Before Ying Long could speak further, the Yezi clan elder charged at him.

*Blow. With a movement of his hand, Ying Long sent that old man to the ground. With this simple wave of his hand, that old man's body sank five meters into the earth. As he faintly spit out blood, he seemed dying as if he was one step away from passing through the gates of death.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Ying Long released his cultivation power. Sixth cultivation path, major spirit realm at the advanced stage. He sent chills down everyone's back just by the presence of him. In the place there were only three people who could face him. One of them was Bai Yonger, and the others were the 2 great elders of the Yezi clan.

"I have business with the Bai clan! I don't need foreigners around. If they still refuse to leave, I will exterminate everyone here." Ying Long's voice was gloomy, he seemed impatient to act without any restraint.

The two great elders wondered what the Bai clan had done to provoke such a man. They were in a dilemma, whether or not to support the Bai clan. If they interfered, they could win the favor of the Bai clan, but they risked drawing the wrath of a powerful person without knowing what was behind it for backup.

*Sigh. "Old Yonger, I'm sorry. We could lend a hand, but we can't risk the lives of our members. Maybe we can take him on, but if he went against the weaker ones, they would surely die." Said one of the great elders of the Yezi clan, it seemed that he had indeed thought a lot about what he should do. His expression was complicated.

Bai Yonger glanced sideways. In his mind he mocked the act displayed by this old man. "I dare not bring the Yezi clan into this trouble. We will postpone our celebration for another time."

The other great elder sneered in his mind. "Next time? Who knows if the Bai clan will have a next time." He had assumed that the Bai clan had gotten into serious trouble, he had no doubt as he looked at the giant bird. He thought that Ying Long belonged to a much more powerful clan than the Bai clan, he understood this by seeing his actions so daring and domineering.

One of the elders approached the other dying elder. He leaned towards Ying Long and said. "Senior, our Yezi clan apologizes for its boldness. We will be leaving here."

"Yes, yes. Go away before I regret it." Ying Long said with an indifferent attitude.

"Goodbye!". He left that old man said before running away as fast as he could with the other old man on his back. The Yezi clansmen were dumbfounded to see such a performance by one of their respectable elders. But they didn't blame him either, without thinking about it anymore they also left.

"Cowards". One of the Bai clansmen whispered as he looked at how scared those Yezi clansmen looked.

The Bai clansmen looked at Ying Long with some fear. But still they prepared for a confrontation, not caring if they died they would stand firm against the enemy.

"Ha ha ha". Given the tense situation, a laugh was heard where the table of honor was located. They all looked at the great elder Bai Yonger to laugh without any concern. "Look at them, fleeing like mere rats that have met a snake."

He walked through the crowd, stopping in front of Ying Long, he said. "I welcome you Ying Long."

Among the crowd of clan members there was someone who let out a big sigh, finally his legs gave way and he fell to the ground, the sword in his hand was released and he looked at the sky as if he was grateful to be alive for a day. plus. Following his example, other young people fell to the ground and were also grateful to be alive. They had realized with the interaction of their great elder, that powerful man was an acquaintance.

Bai Yonger looked at the youths who fell to the ground, with a chuckle he said. "Yes, you have given a death scare to young people."

"Hmph. I have no time to waste. Lead the way." Ying Long spoke impatiently.

"Good". He greeted doctor Chenfang and then walked towards Bai Yingzu's room. Without another word they had left the place, behind them the third elder followed in his footsteps.

...

Arriving at the room, the first thing they saw was a lost looking Bai Yingzu as he slowly fed on the spirit stones. Xia Yanyu looked at Ying Long and quickly stood up. "Greetings to the respectable old man." He bowed as respectfully as possible.

In front of Ying Long he did not dare to act in a relaxed manner. Not even when the third elder or grand elder came did she behave this way, the reason was because she was not actually working under the orders of the Bai clan, but she was receiving direct orders from Ying Long.

Yinglong looked at her. Patting her head he said. "You have done a good job".

Without wasting any more time, Physician Chenfang went to Bai Yingzu. His storage ring lit up, and he took out a small 5 centimeter tall flower whose petals were similar to a light blue rose. As soon as the aura of the mystical celestial spring flower made contact with the environment, it changed the feeling of the room.

Filling the place with unlimited energy, a fresh breeze and fragrant aroma. Everyone could feel the energy in their spiritual veins being stimulated, causing their spiritual cores to rumble like military drums. Bai Lie and Bai Yonger's eyes stared in disbelief.

Bai Yonger was sure that that little flower was a valuable heavenly treasure, he could feel that its energy called for contact with it, he wanted to absorb and refine it to obtain its nutrients that would surely help him enter the new path of cultivation. . To the seventh path, sky kingdom.
