Chapter 54: A Bloodbath is needed I
When the roars and cries of the Dragon Phoenix was heard. It was not only Wang Ling and the other humans who was affected but also the Midnight Eagles that was acting as their mounts.
After hearing the cries of the king of all birds. The Midnight Eagles trembled and found no strength to fly. Wang Ling and the others tried to persuade the Midnight Eagles to fly, but in the end, they could only move on foot after failing.
"We need to proceed on foot, having a mount that can't move it only a baggage that is going to become meat. Everybody, tread carefully and follow closely behind me and Sister Lu Lin."
Fang Guan's voice was serious. The roars and cries made him feel stifled because his soul was shook. He might have been caught unprepared but his strength was nothing to laugh at after all.
Cautiousness mixed with excitement made Fang Guan who had a stiff looking face of a general shiver as his blood boiled. It had been a long time since he felt the aura of a peerless existence.
The first time he felt this was when he first saw the people of the central region. Especially those geniuses who can shake the heavens and the earth if they wanted to.
Fang Guan moved and entered the White Dragon Valley and headed to the place where the ball of light can be seen, the depths of the White Dragon Valley.
Wang Ling moved with his group and kept his silence. At the moment, his presence was barely discernible as he was too silent and too unnoticeable. While they were moving, Wang Ling's mind kept on wandering as his bloodline was churning.
Right now, they had yet to enter the White Dragon Valley but Wang Ling's urged to fight was already beginning to erupt. Trying to pacify his murderous intents, Wang Ling became even quieter and recluse as his became even rare to come out of his mouth.
Night soon fell but they had yet to even reach the outskirts of White Dragon Valley's depths. The White Dragon Valley was too large and has a territory that is encompasses tens of thousands of kilometers.
"Let's stop for now, night is coming and savage beasts are going to be more active."
Setting up camp and lighting up a campfire. Wang Ling and the others began to rest. They had travelled far and before they can rest, they were made to make a move as there were others who had the same goals as them.
Fang Guan took out meat he had bought from the market of the White Dragon City. Lu Lin began roasting the meat with her Sunset Flames and the four of them began to eat as soon as it was done.
Wang Ling was quietly eating by the side minding his own business when he heard Fang Guan's voice asking him, "Brother Wang, what did you think of Fang Yan's physical strength when you fought? Was he strong?"
Wang Ling raised his head and gave a look of confusion, he had no idea who Fang Guan was talking about so he had to asked, "I do not know any Fang Yan."
Hearing the honest reply of Wang Ling, Fang Guan did not know how to react but in the end showed a smile of interest as he explained who Fang Yan was, "He's the first person you beat up after your fight with Tian De. He's a cousin of mine and he cultivates the same body refinement technique as me, I just wish to know what you opinion is on the body refinement technique of my family."
Having seen the light of the truth, Wang Ling showed a look of enlightenment and questioned, "Do you wish to know the truth or the one that pats your clan on the back?"
Lu Lin and Zi Liang who was having a conversation of their own felt stifled after hearing Wang Ling's question. Fearing that Fang Guan was offended, Lu Lin was about to step in when she heard Fang Guan's serious answer.
"The truth please."
Fang Guan was the number one genius of the Fang Clan and was regarded highly by many people. The younger generation of his clan sees him as their idol and goal they want to surpass.
He was considered one of the leaders of the younger generation and for him to answer so seriously without a hint of anger to Wang Ling's question was a surprise to Lu Lin and ZI Liang.
Wang Ling nodded his head and answered Fang Guan with honesty.
"For someone at the pinnacle of sky root stage, that Fang Yan had some capability, his body was robust and his vitality was strong. But that's it, the refinement of his body was good but it was rigid and inflexible, if I could make a guess, the limitation of those who cultivate the same technique as he would be the pinnacle of nascent soul stage.
"But even if they reach the pinnacle of that technique, they will become subpar at best. For then to reach sainthood, it will take a dozens of years at best. Do you cultivate the same technique senior brother Fang?" Wang Ling then went back to eating the meat that was on his hand.
By his side was Fang Guan who let out a laugh as he said, "Seems like Brother Wang is knowledgeable in terms of body refinement. Considering you physical body matching Tian De, it is understandable though."
Wang Ling just shrugged his shoulder at this comment and didn't say anything anymore. Fang Guan was a cultivation maniac who wishes to broaden his horizons. Wang Ling was an enigma who can beat up an energy palace stage cultivator despite being on sky root stage.
Although Wang Ling was weaker, Fang Guan thought that he might get something out of him, by asking him about the matters of his previous opponent Fang Yan. Fang Guan wasn't expecting Wang Ling to state those things easily.
Taking a liking to Wang Ling's honest and straightforward character, Fang Guan took out a jug of wine and passed it to Wang Ling, "This is Dragon Whiskers Wine of the White Dragon Restaurant, it's quite good."
Fang Guan took out a jug of wine for himself and offered some to Lu Lin and Zi Liang which was accepted readily by the two.
Wang Ling took a big gulped of the wine and savored it to taste the flavor. The wine was strong but it wasn't strong enough to be classified as a graded treasure and make a cultivator drunk.
However, it was still quite tasty nonetheless. Wang Ling savored the taste of wine with the others. Secretly feeling out the bloodline of his body, Wang Ling frowned when he found that it was still not subsiding.
Although his outward expression was as calm as always, Wang Ling felt the need make a ruckus. His True Devil Warrior bloodline grew restless but Wang Ling did his best to pacify it using his supreme spirit qi.
While he was busy doing something like this, Wang Ling felt the presence of a group of people coming their way. The sound of wind breaking was heard as six figures appeared from above and landed in front of Wang Ling and the others.
They were all dressed the same exempting the young man that was middle who was wearing a more luxurious clothing than the others. Wearing a green robe that had golden linings on its hem, the young man on the middle was clearly not someone ordinary.
"Brother Fang Guan, I wasn't expecting to see you here." the young man wearing the very luxurious clothing and smiled at Fang Guan and greeted him full of familiarity as if they were friends.
Fang Guan frowned and said, "So, the third prince of Soaring Wind Empire is here."
The flames of the campfire flickered as the third prince observed their group. His assessed both Fang Guan and Wang Ling before turning to Lu Lin and Zi Liang. Upon seeing the two beauties, the third prince smiled lustfully.
"Seems like you have travelled here with people that can help you relieve your stress. Brother Fang Guan, I truly admire your ingeniousness sigh, it has been a while since I have been with a woman" no words needed to be said anymore as his expression said it all.
The third prince of the Soaring Wind Empire was someone with great talent but an even greater lust.
Seeing the lustful gaze of the third prince, Lu Lin frowned and hid Zi Liang behind her. Flames erupted out of her body as she stared hatefully at the lustful bastard.
"Such fiery temper, elegant yet strong, you're just how I want it hehe, why don't you come with me fair maiden, let us study the body of men and women. I am well versed in it so I can teach you wi"
"Stop talking already, your corny lines that is fit for a low-class villain is too grating to the ears. My companions does not like your presence so leave already."
Wang Ling who had been silent all this time started speaking to the third prince in an unbridled manner. He hated his presence and how he acted like some clich villain who only thinks with his lower half making Wang Ling look at him with disdain.
This third prince looked like he was the same age as he was but his cultivation was only at the pinnacle of energy palace stage. Amongst the so called 'geniuses' he had seen, this man was weakest and most irritating.
Third prince frowned at Wang Ling's words but Fang Guan reacted differently. Wang Ling's words put a smile on Fang Guan's face so he added, "You should leave third prince Gale, I fear that sister Lu Lin might roast you to death."
The men behind Gale all frowned upon hearing Fang Guan's words. When they were about to pounce at Fang Guan, Gale stopped them and said as he chortled.
"Don't worry I'm just passing by, I never meant to have conflict with the people of Piercing Heaven. We will leave, but may I know what the name of this brother?" Gale looked at Wang Ling.
"My name is Wang Ling." Wang Ling said without regards to why the other party was asking him. He already have a rough idea why this fellow was asking him so it didn't really matter.
"So it is Brother Wang Ling, I apologize if my words offended you. But you should also watch your own, your words might just become the death of you and your family."
Wang Ling raised a brow and looked at Gale, "Are you saying my family and myself will die? Considering that I have those words to you, does that mean you can kill me and my family?"
Gale had a flustered look on his face and immediately denied, "That is not the case Brother Wang Ling, I am not pertaining anything and just wishes to warn you about the dangers of the world."
"Don't worry about me, but you should take good care of yourself, this White Dragon Valley is dangerous and is fraught with dangers. Who knows, you might just lose your head and have your little 'member' eaten by some monster if you don't tread carefully."
Wang Ling gave a warning and returned the smile that was being flashed to him. Gale and Wang Ling exchanged awkward gazes until Gale finally broke off his gaze after feeling oppress by Wang Ling's weird eyes.
He said his goodbyes to Fang Guan and then to Lu Lin and Zi Liang before lightly tapping Wang Ling on the shoulder.
"Thank you for standing up for us." After Gale disappeared, Lu Lin showed his appreciation to Wang Ling.
"It's nothing, I don't want Senior Sister to draw blood here that is all. You with blood is not a match." Wang Ling unknowingly struck a chord on Lu Lin's heart as she said his thanks once again.
Zi Liang who had been looking at Wang Ling with a bad light also said words of appreciation to him. Her view on Wang Ling was now leaning on the neutral side.
"What you did was rather surprising and really interesting. To see Gale stifled like that made my day, but just like he had said, you should watch your words Brother Wang Ling, after all, Gale is still a prince of an empire. Getting in a conflict with him might implicate your family and yourself." Fang Guan warned.
Wang Ling nodded his head and heeded his warnings. Midnight fell and the roars and cries of the Dragon and Phoenix came. After it came, Fang Guan and the others chose to cultivate, while Wang Ling asked the others that he needed to practice his sword for a while.
Leaving the campfire, Wang Ling finally lost control of his bloodline and let his wing unfurl. The second roars and cry of the Dragon and Phoenix made him finally feel his bloodline churn and resonate with him.
He could feel it come alive and is urging him to fight. His body was starting to feel hot and his aura was starting to surge, the hellish qi surrounded his body giving his body indomitable might and his Devil's Pupils made enabled him to see in the dark.
Wang Ling looked around and saw a savage beast a few hundred meters away from him.
With a flap of his wings, Wang Ling moved. As he moved, his mouth curved into a smile as he felt the urgent need to let out the building up murderous intent that was in his heart.
Wang Ling started a massacre that night.
