Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 731 Scheming Against The Titan.

?Yun Xue and Bo Qingtan stood behind Shi Lang in awe. They watched him sit across an Immortal Sovereign in the garden upon arrival. Zither Soul took out two earthen cups and a jar of wine from her space ring.

Shi Lang opened the jar and poured some liquor into the cups for both of them. He sniffed and exclaimed, "What is this nostalgic scent?"

Fairy Moon Jade smiled and said, "Home Brew."

Shi Lang raised his head to look at her and said, "Someone finally learned to share the good stuff."

The lady chuckled and did not mind. Because of this wine, the two became sworn siblings in the past. Shi Lang tasted this wine by chance after robbing it of a person of a reputation sect. He searched for the source and found Moon Jade to be the person who came up with this recipe. In the coming decade, he tried stealing the recipe ten times.

Moon Jade was tired because Shi Lang was such a menace. Finally, she decided to give up. Moon Jade owned a place in the imperial capital called Crescent Moon Bar. This brew was the life source of that bar. So, she sent out a public invitation for the scavenger king.

Shi Lang knew many people would attack him if he went there. Yet for the sake of this wine, he still arrived and shocked Moon Jade. She asked him why he was after the recipe for this wine. The rogue cultivator replied simply that he loved the wine, and it helped him in cultivation.

The lady then proposed giving him ten jars from every batch she brews, but she would have to swear not to divulge the recipe. Shi Lang gave in without any resistance. He proposed that they both take an oath not to harm each other.

Moon Jade thought about it and agreed; they dealt more with each other over time, and Shi Lang covered for her many times. Moon Jade once asked him, "Do you never have the intention to harm me and take away the fortune I have accumulated?"

Shi Lang drank his wine and said, "I may be a scavenger, but I am not without morals, sister."

Recalling that moment, Moon Jade raised her cup and said, "To the bond strengthened with time."

Shi Lang was dazed, and then, with a smile, he raised the cup against her as he said, "To the bond that is chosen above all."

The cups collided with each other. They chugged it down, and the Terran asked, "Can you tell me what you wanted to discuss so urgently?"

Moon Jade had a faint blush and looked even more beautiful. Bo Qingtan was in a daze, and even Yun Xue was charmed. However, Shi Lang snapped his fingers, and they both woke up from their daze. The Terran said, "You two, take control of your emotions and do not look her in the eyes."

Moon Jade sighed and said, "I still cannot control the charm, can I?"

Shi Lang waved his hand in a lax manner and said, "You need not worry. They are just kids. Now get to the important business."

Moon Jade took a deep breath and said, "You know the alliance I have gotten into with the War Maiden Sect?"

Shi Lang nodded, and Moon Jade continued, "You know that the Titan Sect is backing the Zhu Family here. What you do not know is that the Titan Sect has been going to many different cities and supporting many such small clans to usurp the powerful positions in the city."

Shi Lang raised his brow and asked, "What is this? Covert manifestation of a united human side? Or are they being too ambitious?"

Moon Jade replied calmly, "The latter."

Shi Lang furrowed his brows and asked, "You do not know much, do you?"

The Immortal Sovereign was instantly humbled. The blush on her face deepened, and Shi Lang said, "Give me a few days; I will find out what is going on with them."

Moon Jade asked, "Do you think that I cannot find out anything?"

Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "You can, but the information's reliability will be questioned. You and your people have too much fame and are too easy to notice. Easy to mislead."

Moon Jade frowned and said, "Lang, we do not have much time. I am sure they will find out about the upset here soon. They might come knocking at your door."

Shi Lang thought about it and pinched his chin. He asked, "What have you allied with the War Maiden sect for?"

Moon Jade replied, "To repel and counter the actions of the Titan sect in various regions. They have even started working. The prejudice of the two sides comes in handy over this issue."

Shi Lang hummed and said, "From what I understand about the Titan sect, they are led by men. They are arrogant and also prefer to settle every dispute with their fists. Do you not find it odd that they are supporting people in the shadows and trying to gain more control over the cities?"

Moon Jade nodded and said, "That's the most bothering fact. I have no idea who could be behind this. This change is completely unexpected. Many of the forces have been alerted. Although they have not yet formed any alliance, I am sure they are looking into things."

Shi Lang nodded and leaned over the table. He said, "Brother Bo, would you like to go and check if the Titan Sect is worth it?"

Bo Qingtan was surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"

Shi Lang turned around to look at him and said, "Every major sect has a trial arena. They send their disciples there to fight and test their skills. Titan Sect has a similar place, but the place is open to all. What do you think?"

Moon Jade looked at Shi Lang with a surprised gaze, and Bo Qingtan asked with his arms crossed before his chest, "What's the catch? There is no free lunch."

Shi Lang nodded and replied honestly, "If you lost, you will have to give up a secret skill or the comprehension of your knowledge to them as compensation."

Bo Qingtan shivered and said, "You are kidding me, right?"

Yun Xue said, "What are you so worried about? Will this not mean they will be learning from you?"

Moon Jade shook her head, "Lang, you are forgetting to mention something, are you not?"

The Terran sighed and looked at the sky as he said, "They will be disabling your cultivation if you lose."

Yun Xue and Bo Qingtan reacted in unison, "What the hell!!!"

The Terran shrugged and said, "Fine, do not go."

He pulled up his sleeve and used his spiritual communicator. Bo Qingtan inched closer to him and asked, "What are you doing?"

Shi Lang replied, "Sending out the people from Asura Hall to swing by that place."

Bo Qingtan asked, "You are okay with them being disabled?"

Shi Lang narrowed his gaze and said coldly, "What do you mean? I protect my own, but the people in Asura Hall are not weak. They will not give up on a task before even trying. Also, there are methods to protect or even regenerate cultivation for someone in adept time."

Bo Qingtan clenched his fist and asked, "What do you mean? You speak of it as if this thing is child's play. Do you know how many heavenly natural treasures are needed for this?"

Shi Lang sighed and said, "I am not forcing them. The task is voluntary. If none of them goes to Titan Sect, I will go myself."

His words sounded laid back, but the people knew he was serious. If any of his people suffered in the Titan Sect, Shi Lang would destroy that sect. He was not talking big but stating facts. One of the few things Bo Qingtan learned from Shi Lang was that to bring down a big enemy, and one did not need to be strong; wisdom was also a lethal weapon.

He took a few minutes and said, "Fine, I will go. Give me the location."

Fairy Moon Jade was surprised and asked, "You should think carefully."

Bo Qingtan nodded and said, "Senior, I have thought carefully about it. Do not worry, and I am a sword cultivator. I cannot give into the fear of death. Otherwise, I should not have set out on the sword path either."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Yes, well said. Get going then."

The people found his reaction odd, and they looked at him. Fairy Moon Jade lunged and snatched the wine jar from him. She rebuked him, "You greedy man, when will you learn to stop drinking? Do you wish to explode? Go work it up."

Shi Lang nodded in a daze and he stood up wobblingly. He moved some distance away from the table and began to perform his boxing and kicking routine. Yun Xue asked, "What happened? His face is flushed."

Fairy Moon Jade said, "He is high on spirit wine, he needs to work it up. The daze will allow him better protection from distraction and maybe he might gain enlightenment."
