Chapter 911: Shura Awakens.
Shi Lang and the rest of the people cultivated in seclusion. Some of the disciples wanted to go out and explore and Shi Lang did not stop them. At the end of the day, he was not their father.
Suddenly, Marissa opened her eyes and asked, "What is going on?"
Shi Lang replied, "The space is fluctuating. Take the barrier down, it is about time we leave the garden of Eden."
The formation masters woke up and recollected the material they used to set up the massive isolation barrier and all the other formations around it. Shi Lang was correct, the spatial energy was going crazy in the surroundings. After a few minutes, a worm hole appeared in the void.
Marissa wanted to move over, but then she spotted Shi Lang standing on the ground. She asked, "What is it?"
The Terran replied, "The spiritual energy from all the directions is moving towards the void portal up there. If we all manage to gather the spirit in one place, it might condense into the most sought after, Spirit Nectar. We will gain a heavenly natural treasure that would be a great help for the inner court disciples of both the halls. What do you think?"
Marissa and the rest were surprised but then thinking about it, Senior Brother Yan asked, "Xiao Lang, how can we create the pressure needed to condense the spiritual energy?"
Shi Lang took out the Samsara Cauldron and said, "I will gather the energy inside the cauldron, and then you all will target your spiritual pressure towards the mouth of the artifact, I will use that to pressurize the vapors to condense."
The people thought about it and nodded after some discussion. Marissa said, "The formation masters and all the supporting paths will support you, while the rest will protect the order in the surroundings. I am not sure of the three houses."
Shi Lang nodded and replied, "Alright."
The Terran flew in the void and he cast a hand seal. The size of the cauldron increased from a two inches to a meter wide. Then under Shi Lang's control the cauldron began to spin at a high speed. The rotation allowed it to suck in a lot of spiritual energy in the void and a huge magnitude.
Shi Lang was focused on the task at hand, the rest was left around for the people to deal with. Samsara Cauldron had a great capacity to hold the material but it was not under a huge pressure that could cause the spiritual energy to condense.
The Terran said, "Now, aim your spiritual pressures inside the cauldron."
The others support path cultivators did as they were told and they focused their spiritual energies inside the cauldron. The assault path cultivators stood in a circle around Shi Lang and the rest. They were the first line of defense shall anyone dared to come and attack.
After five minutes, Shi Lang said, "Stop. We have five drops, I will repeat the process again."
Then he quickly extracted the drops of liquid spirit inside a jade bottle and stored it in his space ring. After that, the cycle began one more time.
...
Around the Iron Mountain, the elders watched the void portal open slowly. The first one to come out were the disciples from the two sects. Kang Qilin and Ye Lai. They came back with a few less people.
Elder Tang asked, "Hmm, Kang, what happened?"
His tone was calm but the pressure made the void tremble. Kang replied, "Elder, a few of us met their end while fighting the Dao Guardian beasts. They all were searching for the treasures they could not get a hold of at the moment."
Elder Tang sighed and said, "Only three fell. It is good enough that you all are back. When we get home, we shall pay our respect to your fallen brothers."
Kang Qilin nodded, and the same scene happened with Ye Lia in the Heavenly Mountain Camp.
Suddenly, they all heard a loud roar, "What do you mean they were killed?!"
Kang Qilin and Ye Lia smiled at this. There leading Elders frowned and Elder Tang asked, "Elder Situ, why are you losing your temper? What happened?"
Elder Situ was the leading elder of the three houses. At this moment, he clenched his fists and said, "Elder Tang, you have to get me justice. I implore you to ask the Martial Spirit Hall, why did they kill our disciples so wantonly? The three houses have lost thirty disciples. More than half of them were slayed by the wicked disciples of the Two Halls."
Elder Tang frowned, and wanted to say something when Kang Qilin said, "Elder, we should not meddle with them."
Elder Tang was surprised, but then thinking about the reasons, he nodded. However, on the other side, Elder San flew out of his spirit vessel and yelled, "Old Bastard Sima, do you wish to die? How dare you call my Martial Spirit Hall a wicked force? Your hunting dogs of the disciples have been after my disciples for a long time now, if some of your incompetent people died, then what is the big deal?"
Elder Situ was surprised by the words used by Jian Hu. Just when he wanted to say something, the disciples from the Two Halls came out of the void tunnel. They all had a smile on their face.
Elder San and Lao Yuesha raised their guards, as they watched the disciples fly over. Shi Lang came out at the end of the batch and the void portal closed behind him. Suddenly, a disciple from the Three houses yelled, "Elder Sima, he was the one who killed Senior Brother Dalton and the many other brothers."
Elder Situ yelled, "Bastard, how dare you?! Die!"
He cast a palm attack towards Shi Lang, Elder San yelled in retort, "Sima, you bastard."
He moved forward but it was a bit too slow. Elder Situ was known for his speed, however, something surprising happened. Shi Lang flickered from his position and appeared behind Elder Situ who was floating in the void.
The people were stunned by his speed, but Shi Lang had comprehended the laws of space and lightning, and the prismatic lotus inside his Dantian allowed him a great range of movement. He could move at the speed that was comparable to the Dao King within the range of fifty meters.
Elder Situ was only forty eight meters away from him. The last few days, Shi Lang had been working on discovering the abilities of his Dao Flower. Now, he just shocked the people.
Elder Situ wanted to move, but the next moment, he sensed a multiple space fissures open around him. Shi Lang spoke in a calm voice, "Your disciples dared to attack me and my fellow disciples. I killed them in self defense. I have never let anyone who attacked me, live, and you are going to join that list. Congratulations, old man you are the first Dao King under my sword."
Everyone was shocked at the scene, they could not understand how this kid managed to do it. Elder Tang mumbled, "Space elemental law."
Then he vanished from his spot and appeared in the void, next to Elder San, and said, "Junior, I do not know what your name is, but please let Elder Situ go. He lost a lot of disciples at your hand and his emotions got better of him."
Shi Lang replied, "Senior, with all due respect, I would have let him go if you had stepped in when his disciples hunted my senior brothers. They killed fifteen of my fellow disciples. As a tribute to my fallen brothers and sisters, I took thirty of theirs.
The disciples of the three houses were greater in number than any other forces. They had seven families joining forces and killing my fellow disciples. They were shameless, and they did not stop. At this moment, if this old dog was stronger than me, he would have killed me, and you would not have said anything. So, why cannot I do the same to him when I am stronger than him?"
Elder Tang took a deep breath and said, "The power balance of the Seven Stars is very delicate. I understand that you have been wronged, but try to understand, Elder Situ comes from the Situ family, and they are a big house. They are crucial to the big sects and halls."
Shi Lang thought about it and said, "Senior, I will not go against you, and will spare his life, but while crimes can be forgiven, sins cannot. He as a senior in the realm of a Dao King, attacked a junior with his palm attack, and that too in a sneaky method.
I want him to compensate me with his right arm. Is that good enough for you? He will live, and might consume a pill to regenerate the broken limb, but today, he has to spill blood."
Elder Tang furrowed his brow, when the shocked Elder San woke up and said, "Elder, this young man is the warring disciple of the Martial Spirit Hall. I hope you understand and not take offense."
Elder Tang was shocked, and his eyes widened when he heard this. Then he looked at Shi Lang before he said, "Do as you wish, the strong command the world."
Shi Lang nodded, while Elder Situ opened his eyes in horror. Shi Lang manipulated one space portal to open where the right shoulder of the old man was.
Then a loud scream echoed in the vicinity as Shi Lang tore apart the arm, and tossed it in his space ring. Then he said, "Old man, I suggest you die soon, because the next time we meet, it will be your death day, and it won't be a pretty one."
