The Roar
*Step* *Step*
Jean finally came out from the trial grounds after 1 month, his strength was firmly stuck in the 1st True Profound Realm, the foundations were ready, he just need to cultivate or eat pills, since he was busy setting up his foundations again, he was unable to eat any pill created from the "Visionary".
His current Combat Prowess is at the 2nd Spirit Profound Realm, his combat prowess basically surpassed his cultivation by more than a great realm, and his weapons made it so that nothing below the Spirit Profound Realm was a threat for him.
He checked his watch…
[8:56]
[9/5/1995]
[H: "Heat"]
Jean nodded and put two fingers on his mouth before letting out a loud whistling, attracting everyone's attention in the village.
Villager 1: It's him…
Villager 2: He's still alive…
Feng Baichuan turned around and with a gaze full of hope he walked to Jean.
Feng Baichuan: So, how was it?
Jean: I was forced to do the trial if I needed to free you all, and I did. Call everyone and tell them to put themselves in a line.
Feng Baichuan's expression turned more excited with each second and turned around.
Feng Baichuan: EVERYONE!!! IF YOU WANT TO BE FREE FROM THE CURSE COME HERE!!!
Villager 1: What?! Is that real!?
Villager 3: Let's go!!
Then everyone in the village made a line in front of Jean, and he just raised his hand and pressed the dark red phoenix imprint on everyone's forehead with his index, a small dot of phoenix flames quickly ignited on his fingertip and the colors of their symbols turned scarlet.
After removing everyone's curse, Jean took out a zombified Fierce Storm Hawk and used it to fly away from the village, leaving everyone who were venerating him like a god's envoy now...
Feng Zu'er: Father, was big brother sent by the Phoenix God to save us?
Feng Baichuan: Yes. Since the year our ancestor committed a grave mistake, after so much atonement and remorse, the Phoenix God has finally forgiven us. However, I have a wonderful feeling that one day, we will meet him again.
Feng Zu'er/Xian'er: Really?
Feng Baichuan: Definitely. However, the next time we see him, perhaps the level in which he will be standing, will be high enough for everyone to look up to.
That is why, Zu'er, Feng'er, if you really want to see him again, you must start to train diligently from now on. As of now, we don't have the qualifications to repay his great kindness, but after you two have grown up and acquire sufficient strength, you can then walk out of here and assist him…
Even if it is the most miniscule of assistance, it will still show the gratitude of our entire clan.
Feng Zu'er/Xian'er: Mn!
Jean, on the zombified Fierce Storm Hawk that he found and killed on the branch of the Xiao Sect, flew to the Blue Wind Imperial City. Since the beast was dead, it didn't have the concept of stamina and it could fly the entire day and night, he wasn't in hurry so he calculated that in 5 days or so there if he flew the entire time.
In this month he was able to zombify 10 people at the True Profound Stage, surprising Jasmine with what he did, and she quickly gave him a warning.
"Don't reveal anything about these 'Zombies' to anyone, you would be killed immediately if anyone knew about it."
She had a small idea about helping a dead familiar of hers, but she put down that idea quickly, it was just something perverse to zombify a relative just for being with them… Besides, Jean wasn't even 0.01% strong enough to awaken "Him".
Jean knew that this ability must remain a secret, and held it as his and Jasmine's secret until he has enough power to be feared.
[10 days later]
Even if he needed 5 days to reach the Imperial City, he needed to sleep so he stopped in some small towns to rest, and he finally reached the Blue Wind Profound Palace…
[11:36]
[19/5/1995]
[R: "Roar]
And this was one of the Schrift that was on a lower grade than the others… But he was just admiring the sight in front of him.
Jean: Compared to New Moon Profound Palace, it has an air that's at least ten times more dignified, and its imposing aura is on a completely different level.
Jean took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and used it for Lan Xueruo with her Sound transmission Imprint that he took before leaving her., to see if she was there or not.
Jean: Senior Sister Xueruo, I just arrived, I am at the main entrance of the Profound Palace.
Before long, like Jean expected, Lan Xueruo came in the main entrance with an excited face.
Lan Xueruo: Junior Brother Jean! You are here!
Jean: Oh? Senior Sister Xueruo, if you continue to behave like this then I may think you are enamored of me!
Lan Xueruo stumbled on the ground at his words, before she got up with her teeth gritting each other.
Lan Xueruo: I… I already told you that I am just worried for you as your Senior Sister!!
Jean: Yeah, that will make me believe it.
Lan Xueruo: Hmph!
Jean laughed before he noticed some movements behind her and the laughter stopped.
Jean: Palace Chief Qin?!
Qin Wuyou: Jean! Is that really you?!
Jean: ...Yeah?
Qin Wuyou sighed in relief and said.
Qin Wuyou: When I heard that you were really gone to the branch of the Xiao Sect, I was really worried for your safety. However, not even after 24 hours and I find informations that the Xiao Sect is destroyed.
I wanted to find you, but Xia Yuanba told me that you were gone, I didn't know what to do and so I and Lan Xueruo waited for you for more than 1 month, you being alive gave peace in my heart…
Jean: Hehe…
?: YOU!!
Everyone's eyes opened and turned towards the source of the voice… Murong Ye? What the fuck? How did he get here?
Murong Ye: Jean! What are you doing here?!
Jean: What the fuck are YOU doing here?!
Lan Xueruo: *Ahem* Guys, calm down…
Jean: Oh, but I am calm…
Indeed, his face was normal, while Murong Ye's face was black from anger.
Lan Xueruo: Instructor Qin. Jean could have been just arrived at Blue Wind Imperial City and has nowhere to go to, so I'll have to trouble you to make arrangements for him to enter Blue Wind Profound Palace.
Qin Wuyou: Hehe, this is not a problem, of course.
Lan Xueruo: I'll be leaving Junior Brother Jean to you, Instructor Qin. Junior Jean, Palace Chief Qin is now an instructor at Blue Wind Profound Palace. You should settle down within the Palace with Instructor Qin first, after doing some things I will come back immediately to visit you.
Qin Wuyou: You can be at ease, I will immediately arrange for Jean to enter the Outer Palace and similarly, will also give him the greatest amount of care.
Jean grinned and started to ruffle Lan Xueruo's hair.
Jean: Hahaha, really, thank you, Senior Sister.
Qin Wuyou and Murong Ye froze as they looked at what Jean was doing, while Lan Xueruo's cheeks had a small tint of red as her body trembled.
Lan Xueruo: Y-Y-You, what are you doing?!
Jean chuckled and stopped ruffling her hair, then he took out a Poison Fire Rod and gave it to her.
Jean: Take this, it may be useful later on.
Lan Xueruo looked down and her eyes widened.
Lan Xueruo: P-Poison Fire Rod?!
Jean: You know it, great, I don't need to explain how it works then, but for safety, point the hole at the end of the rod to your target and press the trigger on the handle.
Lan Xueruo: ...Junior Brother Jean… I'm not going to a war, just going home…
She talked with a slightly embarrassed tone, for Murong Ye, it was clear that their relationship was greater than his, so, enraged, he reached Jean and grabbed his collar.
Murong Ye: Stay away from her, you are not worthy.
Lan Xueruo: Brother Murong! What do you mean?!
She was surprised from what Murong Ye said, then she turned towards Jean, and saw only a smile on his face, she saw how strong he was so she wasn't really worried about him, but she was worried about someone else…
Lan Xueruo: Junior Brother Jean, be careful, his cousin, Murong Yi, is someone strong here...
Jean: Don't worry about me, Senior Sister, I know what to do and what to not do.
Murong Ye: Then-
Jean: *Deep Breath* ROOOARRRR.
He used his Schrift and with a single roar, he sent Murong Ye fly away, with bleeding eardrums and unconscious.
Lan Xueruo: W-What… What happened…
Qin Wuyou: 1… 1st True Profound Realm…
Lan Xueruo: 1st True Profound Realm!?
Both of them looked in surprise at Jean, when they first met each other, he was only at the 5th Nascent Profound Realm, and now he already broke through, not only that, his cultivation was really stable too, meaning that he was a True Profound Practitioner for a long time.
