Light Cultivation
Eps. 280 — Mysterious Swordsman
Miou Lin blatantly directly asked Jian Chen for help even though he felt hard doing so because he had to trouble the young man again.
Jian Chen sighed, his head ached when he thought back about the Qilin Empire, it seemed like the peace he wanted to create would require a long journey in order to be achieved.
In the first life, the Qilin Empire had never started a conflict with the Dragon Empire until he died because as far as Jian Chen knew they were preoccupied with his own problems.
The Qilin Empire should have had a major conflict with the Phoenician Empire since the last ten years because it was planning to take control of the 4 Empires that existed in the eastern continent.
The Phoenix Empire was the strongest Empire in the eastern mainland continent, according to rumors, their martial arts could not be compared to the Dragon Empire, Qilin and Tortoise Empire.
Even if the three Empires joined hands to fight the Phoenix Empire together, Jian Chen doubted the three Empires could defeat him.
"Miss Lin, even if you don't ask for help, I will still help there, no matter how they have messed up the Dragon Empire..." Jian Chen explained that he was going to the Miou clan today as well.
"Then will I and the other associate warriors come with you?"
Jian Chen thought for a moment before finally agreeing to it, he did not mind if Miou Lin brought his warriors.
Miou Lin then lifted his foot after that, he should immediately prepare his warriors to go to the Miou clan now.
"Chen'er, I'll go there, I can't let Miss Lin be in this state..."
Jian Chen smiled gently then nodded slowly, he had already guessed that Jian Ya would also come along.
Since Jian Chen was unaware of the state of the Miou clan after the coup he had best close all possibilities with the help of others.
Miou Lin would at least take two hours to gather all the association swordsmen near the port. Jian Chen looked at the average strength of those in the Life Realm upwards, Miou Lin also brought along his 3 Heavenly Realm warriors.
Around the 30 warriors that the girl managed to gather, Miou Lin could actually bring even more but it would take a long time if doing so.
After everything was ready, Jian Chen, Jian Ya, Miou Lin as well as the others headed to where the Miou clan was located. They had to hurry quickly before the sun set.

The location of the Miou clan was quite far from the surrounding cities and villages, if one looked at it from the sky then they would see the Miou clan as if it was built in the middle of a forest.
The Miou clan had always been attached to nature, because the clan, which was famous for pill making, had obtained some of its herbs in the surrounding forest.
Despite living alone, the life of the Miou clan is arguably quite prosperous. It was no wonder that they were one of the great clans that could stand on their own without the help of other clans.
Lately in the Miou clan, its inhabitants are shocked by the foreign troops that flock to its clan relentlessly every day.
Originally the residents of the Miou clan thought that they were hired Association warriors but because the number was like an army made the residents feel that there was something strange.
Although they were astonished but no one dared to ask the government about it, especially the Miou clan government lately became closed to the general public.
No one knows what is going on in it, every time the citizens want to go there then there are officials of the government area that forbid them to enter.
The warriors from the Qilin Empire had completely closed all the information gaps so that no one leaked regarding this matter but the situation became different when the forces of the Qilin Empire suddenly came to the Miou clan in a group manner.
Yang Tian was similarly shocked when the Qilin Empire army group came to the Miou clan without any advance notice to him.
This made him wonder about the Qilin Emperor's plans and it happened that in the group of troops there were two people he knew.

Yang Tian frowned when he saw two figures of twin youths coming to the Miou clan and wanted to meet him. Yang Tian naturally recognized the two young men because they were one of the pillars of the Qilin Empire like him.
The two twin men had high strength, despite being below his means yet they were strong warriors of the King Realm. If the two cooperated with each other Yang Tian was not sure he could come out victorious.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Yun were like his name heard, two warriors who had skills in his cleaver game and were often referred to as the Twins Gauge Demon.
Both have complicated traits and may seem cruel, those who had only first seen his appearance would regard the two as innocent men without knowing his true attitude which was nothing more than a human-skinned monster.
Out of the 7 pillars of the Qilin Empire, both of them were arguably the most sadistic, it would be difficult to distinguish the criminal from the two twin youths.
"What made you come here, wasn't it just me who was assigned to rule this clan by His Majesty?" Yang Tian asked the two twin brothers, demanding an explanation.
Not only the two of them came, even the Qilin Empire troops also came here with an incredible amount. This would obviously look suspicious to both the residents of the Miou clan and outsiders.
Yang Tian tried his best not to be too conspicuous in his plans, therefore he allowed Miou Xian to become the leader of the Miou clan as his cover.
"I don't know either but we were told by His Majesty to come here because there was a change of plans..." Xiao Yan turned to his sister, asking her to explain.
Xiao Yun sighed then continued with the explanation. "Your Majesty changed the original plan, we will first take control of the entire province of Lightning Dragon before the imperial war takes place, so I brought an army to assist in this attack..."
Xiao Yun recounted that the province of Lightning Dragon would be used as a hiding place for the warriors of the Qilin Empire to gather in the event of a war.
Although he did not understand the Qilin Emperor's plan but the purpose of both of them coming was indeed to attack this province.
To carry out the plan they needed an army that was not small, and of course the goal was to attack the capital directly and bring down the government of the Lightning Dragon Province.
With the strength of the three is not difficult to control this province but they have to carry out this conquest in a closed manner, so it requires a lot of troops to do so.
Yang Tian sighed, actually that old man had already expected it but did not expect it to be done in such a closed manner like attacking the Miou clan.
As the three discussed, someone came into their room hurriedly, it was seen that the person wanted to report an important matter.
The person then explained that from above the sky the Miou clan suddenly appeared a swordsman who was hovering in the air, the swordsman had managed to kill one of the Celestial Realm warriors of the Qilin Empire with ease.
Yang Tian frowned, he had not expected to be openly attacked like this. It showed that the coup of the Miou clan had already leaked out the clan.
