Chapter 696 The Three Organizations
Huang Xiaoxian was naturally furious at being treated like that by Tang Chen, but another old woman immediately stopped her, and she glanced at Mu Shu and the others before saying to Tang Chen. “Is that man a newcomer to our city, Old Chen? I’ve never seen his face before, and those three women also seem unfamiliar to me.”
“You are right; they are indeed newcomers to our city, Dongfang Jing.” Tang Chen answered with a nod. “That man is my descendant’s husband who lives in another realm, and these three women are his wives as well. They came to this realm to visit me, but his cultivation suddenly broke through, so you don’t need to think about them. Moreover, they won’t stay long in this realm, and they’ll leave once he breaks through to the Middle King Realm.”
“I see.” Dongfang Jing nodded in understanding.
However, another old man spoke to him. “Old Chen, that young man is simply absurd; this heaven’s wrath is too strong for a cultivator at his level; even I am not sure if I can withstand it with my current cultivation.”
“I agree with you, Ye Fengyan.” Tang Chen then turned to Ling Yun. “Not only you; even I myself am not sure that I can face such a powerful heaven’s wrath, but this kid is different from all of us, and I want to witness his limits with my own eyes.”
“Haha.” Suddenly, another old man laughed after he heard his words. “Old Chen, it seems that you are very confident in this young man, and I have never seen you admire someone from the younger generation so much.”
“I do.” Tang Chen nodded to him. “Yao Shengyun, I dare to tell you that his future is limitless, and he will bring great changes to the upper realms in the future.”
Not only Yao Shengyun, but even Huang Xiaoxian and the other three old people were surprised to hear that, for they knew that Tang Chen never spoke highly of others, including members of his own clan.
Unlike Mu Shu and Lei Lin, Ling Xi wasn’t too worried about three of the five people, and her gaze focused on the figures of Fu Bai and Huang Xiaoxian, especially since she could sense the malicious intentions of the two of them but couldn’t read their memories. ‘Apparently, those two were very ambitious, and they used something to neatly cover everything up.’
Just as she was thinking about them, Tang Chen sent a voice transmission to Ling Xi. ‘You guys must be careful of Fu Bai and Huang Xiaoxian; we suspect that they have ties to a dark organization, and they always target the talented younger generations. Unfortunately, we haven’t managed to find any concrete evidence of their involvement with that organization, so we can’t do anything about them.’
‘A dark organization?’ Ling Xi replied as she turned to Tang Chen. ‘What kind of organization is that? And how strong is their clan really?’
Tang Chen sighed in his heart before telling Ling Xi. ‘There are three active organizations in the upper realms. The first is Sunset Valley, and their headquarters is in Sky Cloud Realm, but they work hard to maintain stability in the upper realms. The second was the Misty Manor; Little Yanyan and Meng Xianzhi belonged to it, but they stood in a gray zone, and their headquarters were in the Starry Realm. The Gu Clan founded the Valley of Doom in the Earth Cloud Realms, and you should be aware of their purpose, right?
‘Yes.’ Ling Xi nodded in understanding. ‘No wonder I can’t read their memories; the people from the Gu clan must have implanted their Gu insects in their brains to prevent other people from reading their memories.’
‘I think so.’ Tang Chen then glanced at the two people. ‘I have tried looking for Gu insects inside their brains before, but I couldn’t find them.’
‘You don’t need to be surprised by that, for some Gu insects have some advantages, and not all cultivators can detect them.’
Tang Chen simply nodded at Ling Xi after hearing that, and he then told her again. ‘After my Tang Clan, the Dongfang Clan is the second-strongest clan in this city, followed by the Huang, the Yao, the Ye, and the Fu Clans. However, there are still several other powerful clans in this realm, but most of them live in other cities and remote areas.’
‘I see.’ However, Ling Xi did not think much about those clans, especially since they would not stay in the Star Cloud Realm for too long, and she was more interested in knowing about the clans in the Sky Cloud Realm, for they would definitely encounter them often in the future.
On the other hand, Fu Bai and Huang Xiaoxian continued to exchange glances, and they also conversed via voice transmission, but no one knew what they were talking about. Even so, their gaze clearly showed that they had malicious intentions towards Ling Yun, but they also did not dare act rashly in the presence of Tang Chen and the three old people.
However, they were startled by the sky turning bright white, and their sights were all dazzled because the white light was too bright, so they used their senses to monitor Ling Yun, but they still couldn’t see his figure, including Tang Chen, who was the strongest among them. ‘What the hell with this phenomenon? It even hinders our senses!’
Seeing that, Fu Bai and Huang Xiaoxian wanted to move towards Ling Yun, but hundreds of white lightning bolts suddenly shot down very quickly from the sky, so they immediately stopped moving, especially since they could feel the horror of all the lightning. ‘Tch! What a pity! That young man will definitely die because of his lightning tribulation!’
Unfortunately, they didn’t know Ling Yun at all, let alone all his advantages. Since their vision was obscured by the white light, they couldn’t see that he had already turned into a not-so-big black dragon, and he was calmly waiting for all those lightning bolts to strike him.
*Boom*
Once all of the lightning strikes had struck Ling Yun’s body, there was an explosion and a tremendous shock that almost all people in the Star Cloud Realm could feel.
Unlike before, Ling Yun’s lightning tribulation only fell once this time, and the phenomenon slowly disappeared.
[You have broken through to the Middle King Realm.]
Even though he was previously very focused on breaking through, Ling Yun had also noticed the presence of those people. That was why he decided to return to the Celestial Fortress shortly after that notification appeared in his mind, but he didn’t forget to inform Ling Xi and the others about it, which relieved them.
As the phenomenon disappeared completely, Dongfang Jing and the others let out heavy breaths, and their expressions were filled with regret, especially after they couldn’t find Ling Yun, and they thought that he had already been reduced to ashes as a result of his lightning tribulation.
The expressions of Tang Chen and the others were no less ugly than theirs, for they felt that Ling Yun should be able to shine even more in the future, but instead he died because of his lightning tribulation.
Fu Bai then mocked Tang Chen. “Hey, Old Chen! That young man is dead now, so how will he bring about changes in these upper realms?”
“Haha! Old Chen, you speak too highly of that young man, but he has already turned to ashes now.” Huang Xiaoxian joined in ridiculing Tang Chen as she laughed in satisfaction. “Since there is nothing interesting in this place anymore, I will return to my clan right now.”
After she said that, Huang Xiaoxian instantly disappeared from their sight, and Fu Bai disappeared after her.
The other three people just shook their heads and cupped their hands toward Tang Chen. “Old Chen, we will also return to our clan.”
“All right.” Tang Chen just nodded to them, and the three immediately left the place.
Once they were out of her range of senses, Ling Xi turned to Tang Chen and the others, and she smiled in amusement at their reactions. “Do you guys also think that our husband died?”
“Hmm?” They immediately turned to Ling Xi after hearing that, but they were surprised to see that their expressions were still relaxed, and there was not the slightest worry on their faces.
Tang Jingling then asked them. “Is Mo Chen really not dead?”
“My husband was indeed quite seriously injured after he received his lightning tribulation, but he didn’t die from it, and my sisters are definitely treating him now.” Mu Shu explained to them as she smiled casually.
“Is that true?” Bu Liangxin asked with a look of disbelief, for she herself could feel that Ling Yun’s lightning tribulation was too powerful. “If he really isn’t dead, then where is he now?” 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘭．𝑜𝘳𝘨
“Has he returned to the fortress?” This time, it was Tang Haoshi who asked them.
Ling Xi was not surprised to hear his question, especially since she already knew that Tang Xiao had told his direct descendants about the Celestial Fortress, so she answered their questions truthfully. “That’s right, our husband went straight back there as soon as he broke through, for he didn’t want those five people to know that he was still alive, especially Huang Xiaoxian and Fu Bai.”
“In that case, let’s go there right now, and I want to make sure that he’s okay.” Tang Chen said to her.
