14: The Daughter of the Green Cloud Sect Master
Jiang Fan left the exhibition.
He did not hurry back to the Xu Mansion.
He came to the gate of the City Lord Mansion nearby and took out the token he had found on a member of the Blood Bat Palace.
Seeing the token, the Guard Captain saluted in reverence: “So young and you’re able to kill someone from the Blood Bat Palace, a true hero!”
The Blood Bat Palace was an evil organization entrenched within the Green Cloud Sect’s territory.
They committed all sorts of atrocities—burning, killing, looting.
They had many branches, and despite many attempts by the Green Cloud Sect to purge them, they could not be completely eradicated.
Reluctantly, the Green Cloud Sect ordered every City Lord Mansion to issue bounties for extermination tasks.
However, most martial artists dared not provoke the Blood Bat Palace, and few could complete these tasks.
“You are entitled to cultivate in the Misty Spirit Pond once, follow me!”
Under his guidance, Jiang Fan arrived at a corner of the City Lord Mansion.
There were two secret chambers standing side by side.
Beneath these chambers was the Misty Spirit Pond, continuously emanating dense spiritual energy.
When he arrived, there was already a woman in purple standing in front of the chambers.
She was very tall, almost as tall as Jiang Fan, with round and straight legs.
Her waist was slender, and her back was lean.
She looked like an ink painting.
Upon hearing someone approach from behind, she turned around.
Her breathtakingly beautiful face seemed to stun even time itself.
Her long dark eyebrows, cool eyes, bright red lips, and delicate contours.
An icy demeanor that kept others at a distance.
She looked like a fairy who had walked out of a painting.
She merely glanced at Jiang Fan and immediately saw through his cultivation, saying calmly: “Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer Perfection, you’re late.”
With that, she chose one of the chambers and went inside to cultivate.
Jiang Fan was stunned.
Late?
What did that mean?
The Guard Captain sighed and said: “So you have already reached Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer Perfection, then you are indeed late.”
“The Misty Spirit Pond has been open for more than three years, and many martial artists have used it.”
“The spiritual energy in the pond is not as abundant as it used to be; only martial artists at the Qi Cultivation First or Second Layer have a chance to break through.”
After all, martial artists at the Qi Cultivation First or Second Layer require much less spiritual energy to break through than those at higher tiers.
“Now, for anyone above the Fourth Layer to break through, their spirit root must be exceptionally good, or they must have a high-tier mental method.”
The Guard Captain added.
But looking at Jiang Fan’s attire, he didn’t seem to be from a prestigious family that could possess an excellent mental method.
He sighed silently: “Since you’re here, you might as well give it a try.”
“You can only cultivate for one two-hour period, make the most of it.”
Superior spirit root and high-tier mental method?
Jiang Fan nodded slightly and entered the other secret chamber.
The Guard Captain stayed outside to wait.
Before long.
An imposing middle-aged man hurried over, it was Ye Jifeng, the top expert in Lonely Boat City, who had also been present at the Detection Tower.
“Fairy Liu went in?”
The Guard Captain responded respectfully: “She is already cultivating.”
Ye Jifeng let out a light breath: “The daughter of the Green Cloud Sect Master, we must not neglect her.”
“Wait here for Fairy Liu to come out. Notify me immediately if she does!”
Suddenly, Ye Jifeng noticed someone else in the other chamber and frowned: “Who is in there?”
The Guard Captain replied: “A nameless young man who killed a member of the Blood Bat Palace.”
Hearing this, Ye Jifeng reprimanded: “Couldn’t we wait until Fairy Liu finished her cultivation before letting him in?”
The Guard Captain hesitated: “Shall we ask him to come out?”
