349 A REMINISCE OF PAST
Li Xuanfa clenched his fist as he was powerless in this situation. He couldn’t even protect his subordinates as he was facing charges for a failed operation which resulted in the whole organization being targeted by the Emerald Amethyst Hall. The two elders left the Hall, and soon the rest of the members went out.
Two guards came to escort Li Xuanfa and Yin Luo to a nearby room and began to start the poster-making process. Another man recorded the whole event in the utmost detail. Li Xuanfa decided to come out with most of the truth but he held back Li meng’s identity which he was aware of.
Yin Luo couldn’t talk much about his identity as he was not familiar with Li Meng. After the two men were finished with the task, they began to leave but were obstructed by a guard.
“I was ordered to escort commander Li Xuanfa to the elder’s cabin. You on the other hand are being ordered to the infirmary where you will continue the healing process. After that, you will proceed to the elders to get your punishment.” Yin Luo could only nod in agreement and see Li Xuanfa being directed towards the elder’s room.
As soon as he reached the room, he was greeted by two men staring at him with concern.
“It is good to see that you have recovered from your injuries properly.” The black elder spoke.
“It was due to the healing pills which the enemy left with me. I wanted Yin Luo to have one too, but he passed. I have already given them to the alchemy department and they are on their way to decode the whole recipe.” LI Xuanfa said.
“You are still too uptight in front of us. You need to calm down. We don’t want to scare our grandchild to death.” The white elder spoke up. It turned out that he was Li Xuanfa’s ancestor.
“I beg your pardon for my actions. I failed your expectation during this mission. I will take on any punishment you and your father decided upon and will also put in more effort to develop the organization. I would also like to take part in the war to contribute to the Church’s victory.”
.....
“You need to calm your hordes down. We first need to discuss the whole situation in a proper way. Was your whole description the truth?”
“It was.” Li Xuanfa said.
“Do you know the true identity of the enemy? Who is he?” The black elder asked.
“So an advance Qi King took care of not only the two of you and your forces, but also killed his team members and looted you all.”
“Yes, he did.” Li Xuanfa said.
“And why did he leave the pills with you? You didn’t think there was anything wrong with them. He could be trying to poison you.” The white elder asked.
“I doubt that. He was trying to mock us by doing that. During the whole process, he let me and Huang recover to our prime, before crushing us all together with pure strength. He first allowed me to fight with him. Defeated me and then moved towards Huang. Defeated him too.”
“So he completely overpowered you in your prime. He gave you healing pills to showcase how pathetic your strength is.” The black elder said.
Li Xuanfa clenched his fist when he heard the emotion behind it. Yet he could only nod in agreement.
“Still you couldn’t deny the notion that we might find some kind of exotic poison within the pills. He could be trying to control you and in the future control the organization you are part of.” Elder speculated.
“I don’t think he would do that. It is uneven with the kind of character he has.” Li Xuanfa was confident about his analysis of Long Tao. He knew his character quite well in the two encounters they had.
“You just said that you don’t know the enemy, yet you are now assuring us that he doesn’t have that kind of character. The conclusion you are stating could only be arrived upon if you had a detailed encounter with someone. Hence I conclude that you do know who the enemy is.”
Li Xunafa was surprised to realize that he had just fallen into the elder’s trap.
“You should come up with the truth that we have been watching you since your childhood. You are ten years too early to try and fool us with such feeble efforts. Who is he?”
“Do you remember the excavation mission that Li Wen went on in Jiao country some time ago?”
“The one where you wanted to get hold of some powerful inheritance for Li Wen?”
“Yes. The guy who bested us was the one who defeated the whole troop, killed half of them, and got a hold of the inheritance for himself. He was about to kill Li Wen, but my arrival prevented that. He was a Qi Master cultivator back then, while I was a Qi general, yet he managed to tie with me in terms of power.”
“The only reason we managed to escape unscathed was that he decided that this would be a futile matter to waste his trump cards on. Hence Li Wen managed to survive.”
“Did you find out who he was?” The white elder spoke up.
“During that time he was the top-ranked general of Jiao country who managed to conquer the nearby empire with his battle strategies and pure strength. His achievements in battle are famous throughout the country.”
“Shouldn’t we get hold of his family and the royals of Jiao country then? We could use them as hostages to lure him out.” The black elder spoke up.
“I thought of the same thing and sent a lot of force toward Jiao country. The first three groups were annihilated by him, but after that, he had already resigned his post and left the country. I even approached his family, but a horrifying truth came into existence.”
“He had been abandoned by his own family and clan members, yet he somehow managed to get so strong that he was more powerful than all the cultivators of Jiao country combined. What is even more surprising is his bloodlust and cold-blooded nature. He watched his ancestor dying in the enemy’s hands, and most of his clan members dying, before taking care of them. He even took the whole credit for himself.”
“Why didn’t you approach the upper echelon to take care of him?”
“There are two things which made me decide that I don’t want the Church to become an enemy of that man. The first matter was the whole set of events that occurred within the Jiao country after his rise to power. I managed to get hold of the whole set of events, and my blood went cold.
“He managed to turn over a whole rebellion and entire fleet of spies in a single month. No one knew whether he did it or managed to gather a group to do it, yet the number of people who were eliminated was too many. The elimination was extremely swift. No traces left behind.”
“What is the other point?”
“He is known to have five other sect brothers who soon enough became the top students of the top organization around the Jiao country. All of them were accepted as disciples of the top teachers and sect masters of the academies.”
“We are not scared by leaders of those small organizations.”
“I know that. What I was scared of was their talent. In the matter of one year, they have already surpassed their elders, and have already exited their respective sects. They have all come to the central plains. I have managed to locate one of them, and that person is quite spectacular.”
“He managed to join the pill valley and even received the inheritance of their founder.” Li Xuanfa said.
“Are you talking about Lu Ming from Pill valley?”
“Yes, I am. I also hope that the church remembers who his master is?”
“The Black-fire emperor.” Murderous aura extruded from either of the elders when they spoke that name. It was a taboo name for them. It was the reason they had lost a lot of their brothers in the past.
“Exactly. The other’s location is unknown but they are of the same level as Lu Ming. So I guess you understand what sort of enemy we are pursuing. He is not only talented himself, but even his brothers are extremely talented.”
“That is scary. Given the recent news about Lu Ming, we should be scared.
“What is it?” Li Xuanfa asked.
“There is a rumor that he had managed to connect with four heavenly laws and one of them is Yin-Yang law.” Li Xuanfa was shocked upon hearing this.
“I didn’t expect this. I guess we can’t do anything about the matter.”
“That is not the proper mentality for the future pope of the Black-Devil church. The two of us have prepared a series of training procedures for you. You will be going into seclusion now and will only come out when the event arrives. We will do our best in increasing your strength in the meantime. LI Wen has already entered seclusion with her master.”
Li Xuanfa nodded and bowed his head.
