Mustika Naga's
The Wind Sword Sect
Long Guan's swift movements had brought him out of the Eternal Mist Forest.
"It doesn't feel like 6 years have passed, I'm like a new born person in this world, how is grandpa?" muttered quietly Long Guan while watching the rural environment.
But at this moment he did not know where exactly, because the array formation brought him out in a different direction than when he first entered.
Then he tried to figure it out using his spiritual senses. In his spiritual senses he felt the sound of screams and pleads for help from a woman. Then with lightning fast he headed to the source of the sound, it was true that a woman wearing a servant shirt seemed to be surrounded by several bandits.
"Haha!"
"You run where you are, miss, rather than die, you better settle us" said one of the bandits.
"Curtain!"
"It is better that I die than to serve you, you despicable criminals" said the woman, throwing spit, her face full of anger.
With the ability of the woman, he ran and slashed his sword towards the bandits.
"Steel breaks the rain!"
Shouted the girl in a loud voice.
"Trank"
"Trank"
"Trank"
There was a clash of sword sounds, but next a body was blown away with an incision wound on his arm.
"Akh!"
The woman's groaning held up the wound that started to bleed.
"It's best that you give up, miss, free to fight, you're not our opponent." Said one of the bandits with a lustful smile.
"If I have to die today, let me die with honor, but if I can survive today, I will live the rest of my life for the better, I'm sorry" muttered the girl with her eyes closed.
His right hand was ready to point the sword at his neck.
"Bruck"
"Booms"
"Booms"
"Booms"
Suddenly the sword fell into the bushes.
The next instant the five men who became bandits turned into blood mist without any explanation, only the figure of Long Guan stood upright with his long hair neatly tied up.
"Miss are you okay?" ask Long Guan.
The woman whose face looks deathly pale, her heartbeat is also irregular, between believing and not she still survived the fateful event this time.
"Aaa. I'm fine young master" the girl replied stammeringly.
"Good then, immediately treat your wound so that it is not worse" Long Guan said casually.
"I am Jian Ling, if the young master doesn't mind can I know the name of the young master?" said the woman known as Jian Ling.
"What is your relationship with Long Huan? to my knowledge there are no magicians in the Long family other than Long Huan" Jian Ling said in a surprised tone.
"Yach, how could I not know Long Huan, Uncle Bei's son" Long Guan said with a face that turned sour when he said the name Long Huan.
"It seems like the Long clan is hiding its young talent too deeply, yet I Jian Ling am very grateful for your help" Jian Ling said as she cupped her hands together.
"Miss Jian, can you tell me where this is and what events have happened in recent times?" long Guan asked solemnly.
"Huh?"
Jian Ling almost choked on hearing Long Guan's words. But he soon calmed himself down unwilling to offend his helper. Then Jian Ling told him about the village they visited along with the emergence of a group of demonic forces that shocked the community.
Many people left the settlement to the royal capital of Zu, to take refuge there. Jian Ling also informed Long Guan that this situation was happening almost throughout the entire Qin Empire.
Hearing Jian Ling's story, Long Guan clucked in annoyance as he clenched his fists.
"His habit of what the ancestors told him had already begun to happen" Inner Long Guan.
"Miss, I'm willing to continue my journey" Long Guan said as he left Jian Ling.
However Jian Ling prevented it, and said.
"Sir, please don't leave me alone, I'm still traumatized. Plus this village is already controlled by the bandits who cooperate with the demon army".
Hearing Jian Ling's words, Long Guan moved his heart not to leave immediately.
"Alright lady, please lead the way. It just so happens that I don't control this territory either" Long Guan said shyly.
After treating the wound on his arm Jian Ling walked towards the crowd, they headed for a simple inn and immediately ordered food to fill Jian Ling's stomach which started to rumble.
The innkeeper who knew Jian Ling immediately bowed.
"Greetings Miss Jian" said the innkeeper.
"Don't worry uncle, I happen to be on a sect mission, to take care of the criminals". Said Jian Ling to the innkeeper.
"Well ladies, tonight you are our guest of honor.
But our inn only had one room left. Tonight there are many black group figures staying here" said the innkeeper in a soft voice.
These.. Jian Ling looked towards Long Guan, thinking of how he could room with foreign men. However, it dawned on him that Long Guan was a good man. Although this was their first meeting, yet somehow Jian Ling felt at ease while with Long Guan.
"Okay uncle, thank you. We will stay here tonight" Jian Ling said with a flushed face.
While Long Guan was just silent, he was feeling an evil aura wandering around the inn, yet his aura was still very weak. Long Guan did not mind the night alone, as he was used to sitting down to cultivate.
Not long after they headed for the inn room, Long Guan went straight to the corner of the room and closed his eyes, he set his breath trying to think logically. However tonight he is with a woman, he should be more able to take care of himself.
While Jian Ling instantly cleaned up the wounds and stains from the battle earlier, it happened that the room was quite spacious and there was a bulkhead. So Jian Ling could change clothes without worrying about being seen by Long Guan.

While at the Long family residence, there had been a huge uproar. Tonight Patriarch Long Yuan was already out of his closed cultivation. Patriarch Long's aura felt extremely powerful, being at the Intermediate Rebirth realm, making the families even more proud and respectful towards Patria.
That night also the Patriarch listened to the report from Long Bei about the developments over the past Six years. In general the Patriarch was very satisfied with the performance of Long Bei who had advanced the Clan.
Only the news of Long Guan was still unheard, as if it was already believed to be dead. Hearing this the Patriarch became resigned from knowing Long Guan could not survive any longer without the help of Qi Vitality.
