Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 1106: Internal Contest.

Shi Lang and the envoy returned to the human realm. When he reappeared, he was inside the Asura Hall, and the next moment all the elders appeared before him. Shi Lang looked around and said, “Xiao Meng.”

The young lady stepped forward and Shi Lang said, “Take Lady Envoy to the best guest accommodation and serve her tea. Personally attend to her.”

Xiao Meng nodded with a smile and then Shi Lang said, “Lady Envoy, please follow my daughter, and she will show you to your quarters. For the next month, the entire race would be busy, and she will attend to you.”

The Envoy smiled and asked, “You are very generous to offer your daughter to be my maid.”

Shi Lang’s smile vanished and he said, “You are mistaken. She is not your maid but to keep an eye on your actions. After all, we can’t have you exit and enter our realm without precautions can we?”

The Envoy was shocked that Shi Lang would actually act this bluntly. She said, “Do you think this little girl would be able to stop me from doing what I want?”

Shi Lang shook his head and then said, “You may do as you wish but if you disrupted our proceedings, I will bring this issue up before the Realm Lord, I am sure you know this better than me how that man values his face more than a servant in his palace.”

The Envoy shivered, she didn’t expect that Shi Lang would come over with such a logic, and surely she knew what the realm lord would do to her. Shi Lang looked around and said, “Well, Tao, find Darcx and have him entertain the Envoy by being her chess compatriot, and also her guide if she wishes to move around. That lazy ass has a lot of time on his hand while Xiao Meng can also use someone to change shifts with and not get behind in her cultivation.”

Shi Tao nodded and then Shi Lang smiled at the envoy before sending her away. The rest of the people bowed to her slightly to show respect, which seemed like a silent slap across her pale white face. The Envoy left with a snort.

Only the Terrans knew why Shi Lang assigned Darcx to accompany the lady. Terrans may be friends with the people and may treat them like family but they all followed one code of law to the tea, never revealing their abilities to the others.

…

Shi Lang and the rest of the sages gathered in the main hall, where all the small and big people in the sage realm were present. The Terran had finished telling them about the mode of ranking tournament and the hall descended in silence.

One of the people sighed and asked, “To think that if one of the participants screwing up would cause the entire sage rank to be slaughtered. This is unfair.”

Someone else chuckled, “When has life ever been fair to the weak? We lack strength and thus we have nothing else but to submit to this condition.”

Tian Long nodded and asked, “What do you think? Who should be fighting these battles?”

The question was directed to Shi Lang who said, “This is an objective question. I would suggest that before we decide who will be the better candidate we should find out who our opponent is. The human race may be weak, but we have a much larger pool of practitioners. Like other races, we are not bound by limitations of the bloodlines or the nature of the race. Information is power.”

The people nodded and Shi Tao said, “Ummm, Baba, I have the data here. One of the disciples communicated with the Sun Archers in the Dao Plain, I had instructed them to transmit the information with one way relay.”

Shi Lang clapped his hands and said, “Excellent. I will make you a new sword.”

The people were used to the Hall Master to spoil his daughters over any excuse he could find. Shi Tao smiled and shook her head as she flung the scroll in the void. The next moment a few golden characters appeared in the void.

Prince Beiming narrowed his gaze and asked, “Xiao Tao, is this information verified?”

Shi Tao nodded and said, “Uncle Darcx verified it. Turns out the Envoy cannot lie to us.”

Shi Lang looked at his friend and asked, “Old Man, you are getting so agitated, what’s up?”

Prince Beiming stood up and said, “Before your ascension, these bastards tried to invade the Realm in alliance with those Yin Phantoms. In order to protect the realm, Yang Chiyan, the first lady of the Yang family, sacrificed herself. She was about to give birth when this happened.”

Shi Lang opened his eyes wide and asked, “Was she…”

He wanted to ask if she was Prince Beiming’s dao partner, and the now middle-aged man revealed a bitter smile and said, “Yes, she was my wife. The one who bound me to live as long as I am not dying naturally and as long as I have something to give back to the world.”

Shi Lang sighed and then he looked at the people in the hall, as he asked, “Who else has the confidence to face these walking flowers?”

Tian Long raised his hand, and many flame attribute practitioners did the same. Shi Tao said, “They are a rank with three sages. They are recently promoted in the ranking list and thus they were invited. However, you have to understand, While this match is easy, these creatures are masters of soul poisons. They can infect the soul with a touch, and flames don’t work on them.”

The confidence of the people dimmed a little but they didn’t lower their hands. Shi Lang nodded and said, “Good, you all will battle it out and then the final winner with get to fight these flowers.”

Prince Beiming clenched his fist and said, “Lang, is it necessary?”

Of course everyone knew that the Asura Hall was the strongest among them and the people facing against Tian Long had given up much of their hopes, but Prince Beiming was someone they haven’t seen in action.

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Even if you wish to fight, it has to be done because we are protecting ourselves, and not because you have a grudge. Emotions in a battle field do nothing but invite death. So, you all will fight, and that is final. It is the fair competition, may the best man win.”

Then he looked at Tong Bai and said, “Baibai, lets have some tea.”

Tong Bai looked at his smile and shook her head as she said, “No, you wish to bet and scam me. I am not playing this time, rascal.”

Shi Lang pouted and said, “You are no fun. I bet a Dao Artifact.”

Tong Bai narrowed her gaze and asked, “What do you want if you win?”

Shi Lang chuckled and said, “Huhuhuhu, compendium of spatial laws. I will return it after reading.”

Tong Bai clicked her tongue and said, “I knew it, fine, you are on. I want a nice bracelet.”

Everyone else ignored the two old kids and focused on arranging the battles.
