Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang looked at the lady before him, he could tell that she was strong, but her cultivation was sealed. He asked, “What do you want from me?”

The lady said, “I would like you to escort me back to my home, the Ling Family.”

Shi Lang shook his head and said, “I have no reason to do so.”

The lady said, “I can see that you are eager to grow strong. You took down a group of notorious bandits, but you only used low level skills.”

Shi Lang furrowed his brow and asked, “What does that have to do with you?”

The lady shook her head and said, “It has nothing to do with me, but still it has everything to do with me. I have stayed in this place for seven years, I have faced a lot of humiliation. They have been exhorting my brother for over seven years but never released me. I owe you my life and dignity.”

Shi Lang shook his head and said, “I did what I thought was right and you do not owe me anything for that.”

The Lady sighed and said, “My name is Ling Shui, I can tell that you are not from this world, and I am sure that others can do that too. Please let me help you. As a fellow cultivator, don’t you know that karma ties can effect the Dao Path you walk?”

Shi Lang asked, “What do you mean by I am not from this world?”

Ling Shui said, “The people from the caged realm has a seal cast on them. This seal can be seen by the guardians of the caged realm.”

Shi Lang grasped his spear and asked, “Are you related to the Juan family of the Verdant Garden Holy Land.”

Ling Shui nodded and said, “If the relation of hatred counts then, yes. I am connected to that bunch of scums.”

Shi Lang asked, “How can I trust you?”

Ling Shui took a deep look at him and said, “I swear on my blood that I am not lying to you. I hate the Juan family from the bottom of my heart.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Fine, I trust you. Where is your house?”

Ling Shui replied, “My house is inside the Verdant Garden Holy Land.”

Shi Lang raised his brows and Ling Shui said, “Let’s talk on the way.”

The Terran nodded and then they both moved. Shi Lang moved his hand and helped the lady undo her seal. Ling Shui let out a nasal sound as she channeled the spiritual energy through her body.

She sighed as the energy gave her relief. She thanked Shi Lang and said, “You seem to hate the Juan Family a lot.”

Shi Lang nodded but did not say anything much. Ling Shui did not poke him much either. He saved her and that was enough for her to repay him. Shi Lang asked, “Can you tell me how to get rid of this mark?”

Ling Shui nodded and replied, “My father managed to kill a Juan Family expert a few centuries ago and then we found a pill recipe that could help dispel this innate mark. This mark is actually a strain of energy that resides inside the body of the people who live inside the caged realm.”

Shi Lang nodded and Ling Shui continued telling him about the various things in this side of the world. They traveled for two days before they finally reached the top of a mountain. It was dark of the night and Shi Lang could see a small city settled inside the valley. The place was glimmering with lights.

He asked, “Is this the Verdant Garden Holy Land?”

Ling Shui shook her head and pointed at the clouds above before she said, “That floating mass of land is the Verdant Garden Holy Land. This below is the Spirit Day City.” Stay connected with

Shi Lang looked up and he was stunned, the land mass floating in the sky was evident to him, and he did not expect to ever see anything like this. This place was even bigger than any of the space ships he has ever seen.

Ling Shui said, “Come, my house is inside the city.”

Shi Lang nodded and followed Ling Shui. The two people approached the city gates, and the guard stopped them. He scrutinized the two people before eventually his eyes stopped at Ling Shui. The lady said coldly, “Has the Spirit Day City forgot who I am?”

The guard shivered and said, “Forgive my ignorance, Sixth Lady Ling. Welcome home.”

Ling Shui nodded and said, “Send someone to collect the fee, and this is my friend, he saved my life. I will pay his fee as well.”

The guard nodded and then he turned around to look at a junior, who was instructed by telepathy. The junior nodded hurriedly and followed behind the two people. Ling Shui looked around in the city and said, “This place hasn’t changed much.”

Shi Lang was scanning the entire place with his sensory ability. He was cautious to not reveal his spiritual sense in this place. The guard who stopped them at the gate was an Immortal Sovereign. Shi Lang could tell that most of the people in this place were Dao Soldiers. He took a deep breath to calm down the turmoil in his heart.

Ling Shui sensed this and said, “You will be my guest, you can cultivate in peace.”

Shi Lang did not respond, he was not sure what the situation of the Ling Family was but this lady before him was definitely stronger than Dao General realm. After a few minutes, they arrived at the gates of a huge mansion. The guards were alerted and they said, “Stop, who are you?”

Ling Shui raised his brow and asked, “Do I need to prove my identity to entire my own house?”

The guards looked at her and the lady waved her hand. The next moment, water blades appeared beside her. The guards carefully checked her face, and bowed, “Sixth Miss, welcome back.”

Ling Shui nodded and walked inside the gates, she turned to look at Shi Lang and said, “Come in.”

Then she said something to the guards, who took out a few spirit stones and paid the City Guard.

…

Shi Lang saw a huge mansion, it was akin to a palace, with huge gardens and training fields at the side. He walked behind Ling Shui, with his hands resting on the shaft of his spear. He was ready to counter any attack that may be hurled at him.

The guards at the door have informed the people inside the mansion of her arrival and many people rushed at the doors of the mansion. They all cheered and greeted Ling Shui. Shi Lang stood at a distance, and suddenly he heard a calm voice, “Don’t resist.”

He sensed a flow of energy cover him. Ling Shui was looking at an old man who was staring at her with red eyes. She sighed and said, “Old man, are you going to cry now?”

The old man snorted and said, “How dare you say something like that, Brat. You have not corrected your ways even after all that you faced?”

Ling Shui smiled and shook her head. At this moment, a middle-aged man knelt on the ground beside her and said, “Youngest Sister, please accept my apology. I could not do anything to free you from those people earlier.”

Ling Shui shook her head and helped the man up as she said, “Third Brother, if not for those bastards, would I be in that situation? Forget it, the Blood Blade Bandits are dead.”

The people were shocked, and Old Man Ling asked, “What did you say? They are dead? How?”

Ling Shui pointed at Shi Lang and said, “Father, Brothers, let us talk about this issue in the gathering hall. I suppose you would like to know him.”

The people exchanged their thoughts an quickly dismissed the crowd before regrouping at the meeting hall.

Ling Shui looked at Shi Lang and said, “This is my father, the Patriarch of the Ling family, Ling Shijin. That is my third brother, Ling Hao. The first elder, second elder, and fourth elder. The rest of my siblings are no more, and the third elder is away for some work.”

Shi Lang cupped his fists to the people and bowed as he said in a calm voice, “Junior Shi Lang greets, Seniors.”

Ling Shijin waved his hand and Shi Lang stood up straight. The old man said, “Ling Shui is the pride of my family, you rescued her, please tell me anything that you may need. This would be the gratitude of the Ling family.”

Shi Lang shook his head and said, “I have not rescued her in hopes of a reward, the verbal gratitude is more than enough.”

Ling Shijin shook his head and flicked his finger, as he said, “This is the pill that will help you get rid of that energy inside you.”

Shi Lang caught the jade bottle and bowed in thank you, when Ling Shui said, “He hates Juan family.”

The elders immediately became interested and Ling Hao asked, “Why do you hate them?”
