Chapter 839: Clearing Haze.
Amelia sighed and said, "I know that you have been hurt, but can you really not look past this?"
Shi Lang looked at her and said, "Do whatever you want."
Then he turned around and entered the sect. Amelia clenched her fist, she was aware that dissolving emotional differences were the hardest. Shi Lang was not angry with Tian Long, he did not even care if the guy was to die the very next moment, but he was angry because Fairy Moon Jade, who he considered to be her family did not even say a word when Tian Long did not mumble a word of gratitude.
Shi Lang was hurt because his sister did not think of him even once when she was about to ignite her soul to kill Mandala. She did not look back at the many people of the Heavenly Dragon army. Those people were loyal to the couple yet, these prideful and self centered people did not care enough.
Amelia led the two people inside the sect. Moon Jade was a sovereign but her eyes were red. Tian Long was also embarrassed, and Amelia said, "I do not wish to say much, but I hope you can realize what he wants. I have never seen him like this. Forget about you, he has never raised his voice when talking to me, but today, he got angry on me. You guys owe me one now."
Moon Jade sighed and said, "I know why he is angry, but I cannot say anything. He does not even look at me anymore."
They came to the ground inside the sect while they were talking and Yu Xeidi rushed over quickly. She jumped at Amelia and cheerfully said, "Mistress, you are back."
Amelia smiled as she carried the girl in her arms and asked, "Xiao Yu, did you grow strong again? Well, you have gotten prettier too."
Yu Xeidi blushed for a moment and said, "Mistress do not make fun of me."
She looked over Amelia's shoulder and her gaze landed on Tian Long. She asked, "Mistress, did you let him in?"
Amelia frowned and said, "Xiao Yu, is this how you talk to an elder? What happened between him and your master is their issue, you do not get to act like this."
Xiao Yu looked at Amelia and got down from her arms. She bowed to Tian Long and said, "I apologize to you, Senior Tian Long. I am young and unwise, please do not mind me."
Tian Long did not know what to say, Fairy Moon Jade said, "Xiao Yu, raise your head. Can you tell me why do you dislike us."
Yu Xeidi looked at Amelia, who nodded and she said, "It is not that we dislike you. The Asura Hall takes you more seriously among all the Martial Council. However, you probably don't know this, but that night when master came back he was severely injured. The entire sect was shocked, the extent of injuries was so much that he was groaning in pain."
The trio was shocked, and Amelia asked, "What do you mean? Why was I not informed?"
Yu Xeidi said, "Eldest Sister did not want you to worry."
Fairy Moon Jade asked, "Did the injuries occur during the duel?"
Yu Xeidi shook her head and said, "Elder Allure told us that Master faced an expert at the peak of Immortal God realm to acquire the herbs. He came back and refined the pill without healing quickly. However, watching how senior Tian Long did not even utter a word of gratitude and acted conceitedly he lost his temper and fought."
The hearts of the three people shook. A figure in white approached the four of them and greeted Amelia. The girl was Hao Mei, she had grown to be very calm and gentle in persona, but when she saw Fairy Moon Jade and Tian Long, she only bowed in greeting and said, "Xiao Yu, go, Master is hosting guests in the tea pavilion. You are the youngest, go serve them tea."
Yu Xeidi pouted and hugged Amelia one more time before she left. Hao Mei said, "Mistress, please come this way."
Hao Mei led them to a place that was in the opposite direction to the Tea Pavilion. They arrived in a garden where Shi Tao was waiting for them. Hao Mei said, "Eldest Sister, I will go and take over your post."
Shi Tao thanked her with a smile and Hao Mei left. Amelia asked, "Tao, isn't everyone going overboard? Yes, what happened was somewhat bitter for Shi Lang but this is not the way everyone should act like."
Shi Tao sighed and served tea for the three of them as she said, "When Baba came back, his bones were cracked. All of them, his Dantian was unstable, and his Immortal soul was in a healing state. Senior Hou Bing fed him with tears of Phoenix, and even then it took him a month to recover.
A few months later, baba was in cultivation, and senior Tian Long came over. Would you believe it that Xiao Yu was the first one to pick her blade and charge? I can tell this much that he did not intend to make things easy for us if not for Senior Allure coming forward."
Fairy Moon Jade and Amelia both looked at Tian Long coldly. Shi Tao said, "I do not have much to say, but if this is what a person get in return of saving your life, then it was better to have you die."
Amelia wanted to say something when Shi Tao continued, "If you have the guts, then go and challenge my father like you did that day. I can assure you, Senior Tian Long, that you would beg for death if you enraged him. If you wish to redeem yourself, endure. My father is enduring a lot of ignorance from Senior Moon Jade, so you should too."
Fairy Moon Jade was surprised but then she thought about something and said, "No wonder he is so cold towards me. I did not even ask him if he was alright. I was focused on Tian Long."
Shi Tao continued, "Baba told me that he does not mind your ignorance, after all, you have your priorities, but the entanglement inside him has become a mental demon. He needs to find a way to deal with it on his own. To do that he needs to stay away from you both, because it would only cause his condition to worsen."
Amelia was shocked, and she shivered as she asked, "He has a mental demon that is affecting him?"
Shi Tao nodded, and began to show them the footage of Shi Lang having night mares and periods of rage during his cultivation. His spiritual energy was very violent, and it caused some damage to the space before he calmed down.
...
Shi Lang was hosting the seniors in the tea pavilion in a garden. He did not take them inside because he did not wish for them to have a glance at the technology. Lao Xu sipped the tea and asked, "Shi Lang, what are those things on the top of the sect walls?"
Shi Lang replied calmly, "Those are called spirit canons. They can fire a beam of destructive spiritual energy in a distance. The attack can kill an Immortal Lord in one go and at the same time, it can deal serious damage to an Immortal King. Repeated damage can even kill an Immortal Emperor."
Sovereign Amethyst asked, "Can you sale a few to me?"
Shi Lang nodded and asked, "What do you need it for, Senior? These things will have to be forged on a custom order."
The lady said, "To deal with the demonic invaders at the front."
Shi Lang nodded to them, and said, "Well, I can give you all twenty such canons each for thousand medium spirit stones each. You do not have to do anything. Just channel some spiritual energy to activate the arrays engraved on them and they will start firing quickly."
They all nodded and conducted business. Old Man Yanshu asked, "Shi Lang, I understand that your strength is a secret, but I still cannot help but shamelessly ask, what did you do? I can sense that your spiritual essence is still the same as it was before, yet I sense as if you are completely different. What is going on?"
Shi Lang nodded and said, "The answer is simple, Senior. I had discovered the truth about this world."
The people were confused and Shi Lang said, "Senior, this immortal realm is nothing but a cage..."
The more these old people heard, the more shocked they became. They did not expect such a thing and before they could doubt Shi Lang, Hou Bing revealed her aura of a Phoenix. She convinced them about the things and asked them to look at the origins of their forces and clans. After some inspection the elders could not find a definitive answer, and they believed Shi Lang.
However, they also asked for some time to conduct a deep level investigation and find any relevant evidence. Shi Lang did not mind, after all, he still had two years of life before he charged to the Demon Realm. He just wanted to clear the clouds of confusion for these people.
