Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang and the disciples got down the Spirit Vessel, and the elders surrounded them maintaining vigil. Until they all have entered the Eastern Heaven City, they would not feel completely safe.

Jian Hu smiled at the elders and said, "Master, we have returned."

Sword Hallmaster did not spare him a glance and said, "Get aside, call over the young ones, they did good this time. The sect master is waiting for them."

Jian Hu took a deep breath to calm himself and with a smile he called forth the disciples behind him. Shi Lang was in the lead, he bowed in greeting and then he turned to look at the two ladies talking to Lao Yuesha, and he said, "Elder Huang, may I go greet them before we leave."

The old man nodded with a beaming smile on his face. Shi Lang walked over to the side, and said, "Teacher Aunt Lao, have you been well?"

One of the ladies who came to pick the disciples of the Broken Moon Palace was Lao Ying. The lady smiled at him and said, "Xiao Lang, it has only been a few months and look how strong you have become."

Shi Lang smiled and greeted the other elder as well. Lao Yuesha said, "Go, follow Old Man Huang, he is giving me a side glare that makes me uneasy. We will meet at the combined training camp."

Shi Lang bowed again and left with the elders from the Martial Spirit Hall. Lao Ying asked, "Why are you in a hurry to see him off?"

Lao Yuesha sighed and said, "This kid caused a storm. and killed almost thirty disciples from the three houses, and not only that, he discounted Elder Sima Chang of his arm."

The two elders were shocked, and they wanted to ask if Lao Yuesha was joking with them. However, when they heard the vivid accounts from the disciples and how they all admired Shi Lang a lot, the elders realized the horror of that young man.

...

In the Martial Spirit Hall, Shi Lang and the rest of the participating disciples were bought over to the Elder Hall. The head elders of all the halls were present and the sect master was there too.

Before the people could say anything, Cao Ming appeared at the gates. The elders were all shocked and they stood up in greeting. The sect master kept sitting with a smile on his face.

Shi Lang bowed ninety degrees as he said, "Greetings, Master."

The disciples were shocked to hear this, but the elders weren't. They already knew about it. Cao Ming asked, "Tell us, how was your journey to the Garden Of Eden."

Shi Lang nodded and then he began to tell the elders about what happened and how it happened. After two hours, he said, "In a nutshell, I wanted to save my fellow disciples, and the Three Houses attacked, so I took them on."

Then he took out an amputated hand from his space ring and said, "Master, this arm belongs to Elder of the Sima Family. His space ring is still here. I did not remove the restriction on it because he might be able to sense it and blame me for robbing him, but he cannot sense you or the Elders."

Cao Ming was surprised but then he broke into laughter. The elders all smiled as well. Cao Ming recomposed himself and said, "You are a naughty one Xiao Lang."

Shi Lang smiled and passed on the arm to Cao Ming, who tossed him the black dragon token. The Holy Elder said, "Jian Hu has told me about the evidence you have to prove your innocence."

Shi Lang nodded and then with the help of the disciples he began to record the holographic footage in the image stones. When he was done, Cao Ming turned to look at the sky and said, "Xiao Lang, go and duel with the disciples. You will have to fight thousand disciples from the Outer sect at the same time."

Shi Lang pursed his lips but then he nodded with his head bowed, and left the Elder Hall. Cao Ming said, "Senior Brother, you have to announce it among the disciples. If they can defeat him, even if it is with combined effort, I will guide them in person."

The sect master made a closed announcement to the disciples and it sent a shock down their spines. Shi Lang was unaware that the people from the three houses have come to look for him.

Cao Ming vanished from his spot and came stand in the void outside the city. He put his hands behind his back and waited. After ten breaths a super fast spirit vessel appeared in his vision. He said, "This is the territory of the Martial Spirit Hall, may I ask why the four Families have come over unannounced?"

The spirit vessel came to a stop, and a few people flew over before Cao Ming. The people had faint smiles on their faces. They bowed to the man in greeting and one of them said, "Greetings, Your Excellency, I apologize for the abrupt arrival, but we have our circumstances."

Cao Ming smiled and replied, "I am well aware. Once in a life time we all do something that we cannot avoid unless we are ready to bleed. Well, Yang Family sent you over, it means they are quite helpless."

The person sighed and said, "Your Excellency, please suggest a solution."

Cao Ming tossed a bag of image stones to them and said, "The people who died belonged to the three houses and not four families. These stones will prove that. Second, the person who led the Two Halls is my disciple. His directive was clear, to stay safe and protect the people to the best of his capability.

He did not attack out of spite, and even if he did, the last time the Three houses ambushed our inner disciples they made it clear that what happens in the wild should stay in the wild and the people from the Three houses or the Halls must not intervene. After all, Great Sima Bu said that the path of cultivation is one filled with corpses and death."

The four elders understood what Cao Ming meant and they nodded, at this moment a middled aged man in grey robes said, "Your Excellency, do you mean to say that we draw a line with the three houses because of this incident?"

Cao Ming shook his head with a sunny smile as he said, "I am not suggesting anything, but one has to wonder how long the four families will be burdened by the endless ambition of the three houses? Sima Chan attacked my disciple, regardless of the fact that the latter is only a new Dao General. A dignified Dao King attacking him and that too sneakily, is that good?

I was thinking of paying them a visit, and see what they wish to do about it before I take an action."

The faces of the four elders changed and they all sensed a chill running down their spines. They did not expect Cao Ming to be so protective of his disciple. However, thinking that a junior managed to evade the attack of a Dao King as cunning as Sima Chan was unbelievable.

The Elder from the Ouyang clan said, "Your Excellency, we will return now, and hold a meeting. If the time has come where these dogs are to be cut loose, we will do that. After that, please feel free to do what you deem fit with them."

Cao Ming nodded and then after a few small talk, the four of them left. The Hall Master of the Martial Spirit Hall appeared beside Cao Ming and asked, "You are stirring up trouble again."

Cao Ming shook his head and replied, "Wrongful accusation. I am just diverting their focus so that Xiao Lang can train well and then find a place in the final contenders of the seven star meet."

The sect master said, "He can still participate as an Alchemist. I wonder if there is someone as skilled as him in the younger generation."

Cao Ming shrugged and said, "Forget about that at the moment. I want him to participate in all the categories. A swooping victory to make sure his spirit awakens."

...

Shi Lang was unaware of the plans the elders had for him, he stood in the square and greeted the disciples one after the other. He was going to fight them for as long as possible. However, in a short period of time, he had won over five matches.

At this moment, a loud voice echoed in the Martial Spirit Hall, "Warring Disciple is assigned to fight thousand disciples from the outer court and they can fight in any manner."

Shi Lang almost looked up at the sky and yelled, 'Fuck you, Hall Master. You are a bitch.'

The battle began and groans echoed throughout the outer court.
