Light Cultivation
Eps. 89 — Back to Forest
Hong Gao's request looked simple but to the three leaders it looked difficult especially Gu Bu who had many members in his organization.
“Good, I agree to your request.” Dong Xu who first opened his voice after thinking for a while.
Yue Xia put on a sullen face hearing that, he turned to Hong Gao. “Sister Gao, can't the terms be easier..”.
“Miss Xia, if I deploy all my own troops to fight against the Jian clan isn't that unfair, although it can win maybe I will have a lot of losses.”
“Alright, alright I understand, I will approve it.” Yue Xia puffed her cheeks up.
The gaze now focused on Gu Bu, the fat man took longer to pet Hong Gao's request before finally sighing. “It seems difficult for me to refuse, well I agree to it..”.
Hong Gao nodded in satisfaction, if so then did not mind him dividing the income of the gold mine evenly.
The attacks on the Jian clan had been planned from the discussion first, they intended to attack openly, storming the Jian clan directly without infiltrating secretly or so on.
In fact they did not care about the Jian clan and its inhabitants, their destination to the Jian clan was because of that golden throng. Hong Gao was confident the Jian clan would not volunteer to give its gold mines to others let alone an evil organization like him.
They would rather fight to the death than submit willingly, whereas cooperating with evil organizations in their survival was an impossibility, evil organizations would obviously not like it.
The strength of the Jian clan itself they had investigated in detail including its strongest heroes.
What they feared was not the leader of the Jian clan but rather the grandfather of Jian Ya that was Jian Mo who was in the realm of the Hampa Realm.
Jian Mo was stronger than Hong Gao, which is why he formed this alliance.
Jian Fengxa was also worthy of reckoning as the father of Jian Ya or the previous Chief of the Jian clan, his strength was at the peak of the Earth Realm and the Red Pigeon Elders were clearly no one could defeat him.
Now the alliance formed by Hong Gao plans to carry out this attack in three months, however they need preparation before fighting.

Jian Chen was startled after hearing the story from Zhou Mei who saw the huge dragon during his breakthrough earlier.
Jian Chen did not understand because as far as he was in his first life he did not feel that phenomenon when he broke through to the Light God Realm next. Jian Chen had indeed been suspicious from the start there was something strange about the cultivation of the Light God in this second life.
“Young Master, about what training did you do?” Zhou Mei had started to calm down now, she was now more curious about what her master had done before.
“It was one of my cultivation techniques, I hope you keep this from others.”.
Zhou Mei nodded, in fact he did not really understand martial arts because Zhou Mei was not from the martial world.
Jian Chen then ordered Zhou Mei to hire services in order to repair the damage to his house while he was about to leave first.
“Young master, are you going to the Academy?”
Zhou Mei's words made Jian Chen's footsteps stall, come to think of it he hadn't been there for a long time.
Jian Chen was now arguably still a student of the academy even though he had never entered. The Academy is a free place where students can learn regardless of whether they enter or not during the learning activities.
Basically other than Jian Chen, there were already many disciples who rarely entered. Usually they did so because of two things, first practicing the technique and secondly due to cultivating like this Jian Chen.
The academy itself does not require that its students must participate in continuous spending, as the main goal in one's academy must be to develop individually.
The task of the academy managers is only to guide, help and increase the potential of each student before entering the real martial world.
It should be that a child of Jian Chen's age did spend his time studying in the academy but since there was nothing to learn, Jian Chen decided to grow stronger himself.
Even if he were there, Jian Chen might be the strongest disciple now even Liu Yanxi who was the number one genius disciple could be defeated with one move if serious.
Jian Chen asked Zhou Mei to make supplies for him there first.
Zhou Mei did not ask any further, he immediately obeyed his master and started cooking. Zhou Mei needed a few hours to finish because the portions were large so he was a bit old.
Jian Chen stuffed the prepared supplies into the space ring. He also gave a leather pouch containing hundreds of silver coins to Zhou Mei out of pity at seeing the girl who looked tired and sweaty.
“This master is my duty, you do not have to pay him.”.
“It's okay, you've worked hard to cook all this. Consider this a gift from me.”
Zhou Mei accepted the leather pouch happily, she wanted to give this extra money to her parents.
“Young master, I really owe you..”.
Zhou Mei bowed respectfully, arguably ever since she worked for Jian Chen, as long as it was also that her master had always been kind to her. Jian Chen had never troubled him in the least.
Jian Chen nodded, he then said goodbye and went to his destination of the Lonely Forest.

It had already been an hour and a half since Jian Chen had entered the depths of the forest, several times he had been intercepted by various demons.
Jian Chen welcomed it all with great pleasure because one of his goals here was to hunt for the exhausted demon gems.
Jian Chen kept moving about jumping over the branches of the tree, once he saw his surroundings afraid that there was a hundred year demon that had passed. Jian Chen continued to advance until suddenly far ahead he heard a shrill voice.
“Hm, seems like this voice is familiar to me?” Jian Chen stopped stepping, he chose to wait for the demon to approach him.
A group of gorillas soon arrived, with white hair and sharp fangs and hard muscles.
“Ah, it's been a long time since I've seen you..”.
Jian Chen smiled widely and started to remember now, back then when competing in the academy he had fought against the group of gorillas for having entered their territory.
At that time he had to drain all his energy to fight the dozens of gorillas whose average silhouette was 50 years old and above.
Now their numbers were the same maybe even more numerous and powerful, but Jian Chen's strength right now was also very far away with the strength of a year ago.
“Alright, maybe it's the right time to try my current strength.” Jian Chen watched the dozens of gorillas in front of him while whipping out the white fang sword.
Before long his sword glowed golden, Jian Chen chose to first attack.
“Elemental Light ~ Step Light!”
Jian Chen disappeared suddenly and appeared in the middle of the gorilla while swinging his sword, the sword that was fed by the light element was so easy to cut through the gorilla's body like cutting tofu.
The group of gorillas needed time to realize that their opponent was in their midst, after seeing their own people killed, the gorilla roared loudly while lashing his chest.
“We've made it simple..” Jian Chen smiled faintly. “Half Moon Sword Technique ~ Reflection Rain Drops!”
The gorillas who were about to attack Jian Chen glared at the sight of Jian Chen's body suddenly split into three.
Each shadow of him moved in a different direction while killing the nearby gorilla. None of them is an illusion.
In the relatively quick time the gorilla had already been killed by half, let alone Jian Chen using the light element making his attack much more deadly.
The gorillas felt a sense of danger to see Jian Chen who had already killed many of his herd, finally fearfully fleeing to save themselves but unfortunately Jian Chen did not allow that.
