Chapter 70 – Grandpa’s preparation

And so Su Ming left.

Following his departure, the crowd in the plaza gradually dissipated, following their respective tribal leaders they returned into the Feng Zhen Tribe grounds.

The first test had just ended like this, following this, would be a night of rest. On the dawn of the second day, the second test would commence. Although this test was not actual combat, it was greatly related to one’s level of cultivation.

In the past, many people who had participated in the first test would not participate in the second test. However, these people were usually out of the top fifty, there had never been any of the top ten members of the first test sitting out the next two tests.

As such, Su Ming’s words towards Ye Wang created many ripples in the audience’s hearts. Only, they did not discuss about it and just silently watched Su Ming leave.

Especially those who were getting ready to participate in tomorrow’s test, they wanted to make the most of their remaining time, to use this last night to cultivate and restore their peak condition and dissipate the injuries from the pressure of the first test.

There were also people like Chen Chong who had overexerted themselves in the first round and had injuries which were not light. They required the assistance of the powerful people in the tribe to help them recover sufficiently for the next day’s test.

As for the Feng Zhen Tribe’s Mán-Elder, he did not have much time to rest either, as Ye Wang forcibly absorbed his Mán-Blood, there were some remnant problems which he had to help curb.

When he came, Shi Hai had escorted Su Ming over, so when he was leaving, it was the same. Shi Hai’s expression was complex as his lips hesitated, but in the end he chose not to speak. With a flick of his sleeves, he brought Su Ming out of that place, whizzing towards the Chlorite Feng Zhen Tribe City.

Following the crowd’s dispersal, the plaza became more and more silent. Grandpa Mo Sang stood at the same spot, a smiling expression could be seen on his face as he waited for Jing Nan to speak.

Jing Nan no longer looked gloomy, rather he was deeply frowning. Only after letting out a long sigh did he turn towards Mo Sang.

“You previously traded the Ancient Mán-Technique with me for a request, which was to let your Wu Shan Tribe become part of the Feng Zhen Tribe at a time you deem suitable, and fall under the Feng Zhen Tribe’s protection.

If I am not wrong, your goal is to give that Hei Shan Tribe’s Bi Tu an opportunity to strike, after three of the elites of your Wu Shan Tribe left, the defences of the tribe would be greatly weakened……

If Bi Tu had come to the Feng Zhen Tribe, you can carefully observe the change in his strength, if he did not come, you could conclude that his cultivation must currently be unstable. This strategy of yours to kill two birds with one stone is truly cunning!” Jing Nan stared at Mo Sang as he spoke each word.

“I had never intended to hide anything from you.” Mo Sang smilingly spoke.

“If Bi Tu came, you can make your own judgements and continue planning from there. However, if he did not come, you left behind a ‘defenceless’ tribe, baiting him to make his move…… I am sure you have already prepared an escape route for your tribe, the moment Bi Tu strikes, you would make use of our agreement to draw the Wu Shan Tribe into the protection of the Feng Zhen Tribe. You know that Bi Tu’s character is unscrupulous, if his cultivation suddenly breaks through, he would definitely become confident and move, then I…… would be forced to move against him, otherwise in this region, the prestige of the the Feng Zhen Tribe would be lost, since we are unable to protect even a single tribe. If I don’t move, it would also look like I am afraid of Bi Tu.” Jing Nan slowly spoke, these things had already been considered even before he had spoke to Mo Sang in the secret chamber. Previously, he did not speak out as he had been trying to force Mo Sang into paying a greater price, and today…… he had found this price!

“That is right, that was my plan, it is just a pity that Bi Tu did not make his move.” Mo Sang frowned as he looked towards Jing Nan.

Jing Nan’s gaze was complicated as he exchanged looked with Mo Sang. Only after a long time did he let out another sigh.

“If not for the fact, you two look too different, I would have thought that he was your own flesh and blood.” Jing Nan spoke as he gazed towards the direction Su Ming disappeared into.

“In my heart, he is my flesh and blood.” A trace of Mo San reminiscence flashed in Mo Sang’s eyes as he softly spoke.

“Mo Sang, intellectually, I am indeed inferior to you…… this fact has nothing to do with cultivation, I knew this all since back then…… you had long since figured out that I would see through your intentions, and knowing my personality, you knew I would not have immediately refute you, rather I would wait for a chance to ask for more benefits from you……

You had predicted this all along, you purposefully brought this benefit to my face, forcing my heart to stir…… everything you have done is not for your tribe, it was more for this kid……”

“You have long since knew about Su Ming’s outstanding qualities!” Jing Nan slowly spoke.

Mo Sang gazed at Jing Nan, wordlessly smiling.

“You let him hide his identity and appear here with a disguised appearance to show off his potential, to get him into my sights……  this way, even if Wu Shan Tribe becomes an auxiliary tribe, it would now shackle him down, you have given him another path out…… a path you did not choose to take in the past……” Jing Nan’s expression became increasingly complex as he looked towards Mo Sang.

“You knew that my Feng Zhen Tribe did not mind the appearance of geniuses in the nearby tribes, rather we very much so yearn for it. If such a talent appeared nearby, my Feng Zhen Tribe would be the first to pull them over and become a member of our Feng Zhen Tribe, because coming here would benefit them much more greatly.

This face is not seen through by most people, because even if we explain that we were here to nurture their talents, they would not believe us. Only you…… you know the truth! You knew this, yet you still had him hide his appearance to help him, after all, outstanding people are always in a high position is liable to be attacked, an added layer of secrecy would help protect him further, and help release him from being bound to any of the tribes.

Even after a few years, and his identity got revealed, it would not matter any longer. At that time, he would already have enough strength to catch people’s eyes, and he could even become a backer of the Wu Shan Tribe.” As Jing Nan looked at the few remaining people in the plaza, he slowly spoke.

“You have succeeded, this child had indeed moved my heart, leave him here. I can give him the same support as Ye Wang, as I said before, between him and Ye Wang, whoever reaches the awakened realm first would be the Feng Zhen Tribe’s next Mán-Child!

Even if he reaches it after Ye Wang, given his potential, he is bound to reach great heights! Together with Ye Wang, they can become the future of Feng Zhen! As for the Wu Shan Tribe…… after the whole event ends, why not just join my Feng Zhen Tribe. That Bi Tu would not be able to stop me, if he were to force his hand, I will let him know, even if we are both of the awakened realm, the gap between us is still too large!” Jing Nan spoke as he waved his right hand towards Mo Sang, a small bottle flying towards Mo Sang.

“Inside is three drops of Mán-Blood, a drop extra, treat it as my greetings for Su Ming!” Jing Nan deeply looked at Mo Sang, before turning and flying into the distance. Today, he still had to help settle some issues with Ye Wang.

Mo Sang gazed at the departing Jing Nan then towards the small bottle of three drops of Mán-Blood, his eyes revealing that he deep thought. Jing Nan’s words were mostly correct, except he had made one major mistake, Mo Sang himself had not expected that Su Ming would reach such a rank.

He had originally intended to use the mysteriousness surrounding Su Ming’s background to draw Jing Nan’s interest and predictions, afterwards paying a large price to make Jing Nan agree to let Su Ming remain at the Feng Zhen Tribe.

After all, he knew that for the Feng Zhen Tribe to reach where it was now, to become so strong, they would not give up such an opportunity, even if it was just a guess……

Mo Sang did not think that Su Ming would reach such a ranking, immediately turning the discussion with Jing Nan active from a passive position.

A words difference, yet worlds apart!

“Perhaps this time…… the Wu Shan Tribe’s crisis is not without resolution……” Mo Sang’s eyes flashed as he walked back towards the Wu Shan Tribesmen waiting for him.

In the airspace outside this Feng Zhen Mountain, Shi Hai was bringing Su Ming back towards the chlorite city, the two of them not exchanging any words.

Su Ming quietly thought, Shi Hai’s heart must be in turmoil as he frequently glanced at Su Ming, this common looking person was personally brought to the scene by himself, he did not originally think too much about it, but right now, after seeing the events of the past few days, seeing his incredible rise, Shi Hai’s mental state had changed greatly.

“This is a talent comparable to Ye Wang!” Shi Hai silently pondered.

Before long, in the distance, the Feng Zhen Tribe’s outline gradually appeared, the huge Chlorite City gradually filling his eyes, at this time, Su Ming abruptly spoke.

Against the winds, the sound was faint, but still clearly reached Shi Hai’s ears.

“Senior, junior has something that he just does not understand, senior has not reached the awakened realm, so just how does senior fly like this?”

If it was before, Shi Hai would not have paid him any attention and would have acted as if he had not heard him, but currently, he hesitated slightly before he slowly spoke.

“The way the awakened cultivators fly is different from me, the reason I can fly is partially because of the Mán-Tool on my body, and also the partially formed Mán-Tattoo on my body.

My Mán-Tattoo is a cloud.” Shi Hai spoke as the image of a faint cloud appeared on his forehead.

“More accurately, an awakened cultivator uses their body’s power to walk the skies, but I can only float along, it may look the same on the surface, but the essence of it is just too greatly different.” Shi Hai detailedly explained.

Su Ming’s eyes revealed his deep thoughts, as the two of them exchanged words until they had reached back at the Chlorite city. Shi Hai put Su Ming down with a smile before nodding towards him before transforming into a cloud and leaving.

By the foot of the Feng Zhen Mountain, the plaza was almost completely empty. On the nine statues, eight of them had one of the Feng Zheng Tribe elders sitting on them, before long, Shi Hai had returned and sat on the ninth statue.

After the Feng Zhen Mountain’s seal had been opened, it took some time to re-seal, the nine of them had to stand guard at this place, only leaving after the seal had been repaired.

The previous years were all the same……

However, this year was slightly different. In the skies above the plaza, a certain black robed figure had appeared. His body completely shrouded, this person was the mysterious person who had appeared in the Hei Shan Tribe!
