Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang looked at the young man before him and said, “Oh, Yun Qian, you are on guard duty?” 

The young man nodded and said, “Yes, Hall master.” 

Suddenly, Yun Qian turned to look to the side and found two little girls standing beside Shi Lang, looking at him curiously. 

The terran smiled and said, “This is Martial Uncle Yun Qian, the head of sect defense. Greet him.” 

Yun Qian was shocked, but his heart was filled with pride to see that Shi Lang had called him a martial brother. The girls stepped forward and bowed to him as they said, “Disciple Hao Mei (Yu Xiedi) greets Martial Uncle Yun.” 

Yun Qian chuckled and said, “Raise your heads, my dear children.” 

Then he looked at Shi Lang and asked, “Are they your disciples, Hall Master?” 

Shi Lang nodded and said, “The taller one is Hao Mei, and the younger one is Yu Xiedi. They will live here at the Asura hall from now on and learn all they can before they go out to experience the troubles of the Cultivation world.” 

Yun Qian nodded and said, “Hall Master, please head inside. I cannot leave the guard post.” 

Shi Lang furrowed his brows and asked, “Why is that? You are the head of the defense team. Why are you guarding the door by yourself?” 

Yun Qian smiled bitterly and said, “The surrounding sects will come to meet us tomorrow. The rest of the people are busy.”

Shi Lang raised his brow and asked, “Why will they come over? We are not that big in size or strength. What is going on here?” 

Yun Qian replied, “Sister Qin went out using the spiritual communicator a few days ago. The device caught the attention of a senior from the Seven Birds sect. Sister Qin thought it was a good opportunity to set up a business front and told them they could buy the device at an auction. Tomorrow is the day of the auction. We will all set up a stall at the foot of the mountain and give out one hundred communicators.” 

Shi Lang thought about it and asked, “This means we have enough for ourselves?” 

Yun Qian nodded and said, “You can ask Brother Yang Niao about the rest of the details. I have to pay attention to the sect defense. We are adding two more layers of killing formations outside and a dozen mist illusion arrays to keep those old monsters away.” 

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Shi Lang nodded and bade farewell to Yun Qian. He arrived at the main hall and found the place bustling with activity. The people did not spot him initially, but when they noticed the two little girls gazing around curiously, one of them exclaimed, “Hall Master is back!” 

The activity suddenly stopped, and the people turned around to look at the hall’s center. Shi Lang was surprised, and the people bowed to him in unison. The terran waved his hand and asked, “Can someone tell me where I can find Deputy Hall Master Yang?” 

A resonant voice echoed in the hall, “I am here, Hall Master.” 

Shi Lang turned around and asked, “Can someone arrange a room for them?” 

Yang Niao was surprised and nodded quickly. Shi Lang said, “Xiao Mei, Xiao Di, go along with them. I will find you after I have settled business here.” 

The two girls were sensible, and they could sense the change in his temperament. Yang Niao arranged for a girl to bring the two children to the room before he came beside Shi Lang. He placed his hands before his waist and asked, “Hall Master.” 

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Brother Yang, it is good that the hall moves forward steadily. However, before I permitted you to sell the communicators, I remember I mentioned that you needed to set up communication centers. You know that the third generation of the spiritual communicator will not work without a spiritual signal relay.” 

Yang Niao smiled and replied, “Hall Master, you do not have to worry about it. The central province is not linked to many smaller signal relay stations, and we can communicate information seamlessly.” 

Surprised, Shi Lang asked, “How did you manage that?” 

Yang Niao replied, “These days, the central plain prepares for an event in the shadows. The night of the blood moon is coming closer, and at a time like this, the communicators will provide us with great help. 

To set up the small signal relays, we have decorated them into headposts. Many small families have been deceived and sold with headpieces customized to their needs. The spiritual relays are always intertwined with spiritual energy. Some people were suspicious but had a feng shui master check for the head posts. When they found nothing wrong, they placed these headposts at the highest positions of their houses. 

The big families will not buy from us, and the medium families might be scared to show off, too, so the small families disguised the headposts as an emblem of the ancestral halls. The big families will not pay attention to the details of the small houses.” 

Shi Lang was surprised by this method of exploitation and deception, but it was a good thing. He nodded and asked, “The night of the blood moon is only two months away; during this period, the Hall members will rush forward to increase their strength. Leave behind a few people to manage the regular hall affairs and gather back to fight the beast tide.” 

Yang Niao nodded and said, “Sir, the arrangements have been made. Since we are trying to hide our true strength, we will have most people fight as troops under the names of different forces.” 

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Brother Yang, I will be here to watch over the auction. How sure are you that things will not go out of control?” 

Yang Niao said, “We have asked the two sects to keep things silent, and then we have given them a very reasonable price. It is up to them how far they are willing to compete. The auction will be done in batches of ten, so the sects cannot blame us for hunger marketing or any benefitting strategy.” 

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Good. Let me talk to my disciples for a bit, and then I will help you finish the work.”
