Mustika Naga's
The Situation That's Starting to Fumble

On the morning of the next day, Long Guan and Jian Ling immediately rushed to leave the inn towards the Wind Sword Sect. It takes about a day or so to travel on foot, but only a day on a horse.

They decided to go on foot, seeing Long Guan and Jian Ling walking side by side. Many pairs of eyes had envious gazes and some were amazed. The ones who were amazed were those who knew Jian Ling as the young miss daughter of Elder Jian.

Jian Ling had been notoriously cold towards men, yet only this time did they witness Jian Ling walking so familiarly with a man.

The man looked handsome, like the son of a royal noble, but from the many pairs of eyes that noticed no one recognized the figure of the man.

Some guessed the figure as a senior disciple of the Wind Sword Sect, as it looked like a swordsman with a calm charisma. Before how long they walked, Long Guan suddenly exclaimed

"Come out, there's no point in you following us".

From behind the tree appeared three warriors in black.

"Haha .. You're smart too, young man. You guys from the Wind Sword Sect are just looking to die being here" said the bearded old man as he unsheathed his sword.

"You guys are looking to die" Jian Ling said taking out his sword.

Without a doubt, two other black-robed men advanced towards Jian Ling. While another was silent while watching Long Guan.

Looking a hint of doubt in his eyes, he looked at Long Guan who remained calm unmoved. Generally people would feel panic, but this scene he did not get from Long Guan. Jian Ling moved quite agilely with his sword, although his left arm had only healed but did not diminish his sword skill.

"The Swords Split the Rain"

Said Jian Ling while jumping and twisting her body in the air, her movements were like sword dances in the spring. But in a few moves, the two black-robed men began to be overwhelmed and injured.

Jian Ling increased his attack, the last two moves of Jian Ling's stance instantly pierced the black-robed man's heart swiftly. Long Guan who watched his lover in action only smiled lightly, he still noticed Jian Ling's movements.

For the past few times, Long Guan had only used bare-handed martial skills. As for the sword skill, Long Guan had only mastered it but had never practiced directly facing the enemy. He also just learned the scroll of swordsmanship he learned named the Rain Splitting Sword.

On the other hand, the black-robed man standing not far from Long Guan seemed to be smiling wryly. Even though his two companions had died in front of him, he still did not dare to act rashly.

At first he and his two friends only wanted to rob Long Guan and Jian Ling.

"Now what do you want?" Jian Ling asked in a loud tone.

"Please let me go, I promise to exchange it for information that is useful enough for you" said the man who immediately knelt down.

He felt his gaze fall into a deep abyss as his eyes fell upon Long Guan. As a person who had lived in the cultivation world for a long time, he was already used to dealing with many people, yet Long Guan was a person he could not touch.

"I will forgive you this time, but if the information you convey is useless then I do not hesitate to kill you" Long Guan said with an aura of suppression that was very intimidating.

As soon as the man was covered in sweat, he felt lucky not to attack Long Guan.

"Right now should be the alliance army of the demon army is preparing to attack the Wind Sword Sect, all I know in the next two days is that a Demon General named Xiake is about to attack the Wind Sword Sect" the man replied with a terrified expression.

Hearing this information, Jian Ling became shocked. He did not expect any news that he heard like this, then he thought that maybe his father sent him on a mission out of the sect because he wanted him not to be involved in this attack.

His heart went awry, he looked at the man and said.

"Can the information you provide be accounted for?" Jian Ling asked with a serious look.

"Of course, ladies, these few days there has been a meeting with a black group led by one of the members of the demon army, this alliance has been formed a long time ago but only this time an attack will be carried out. The Wind Sword Sect was considered a strategic place for the demon army to marshal power in the control of Zu kingdom" the man replied.

"I'm just a petty criminal who survives by robbing, but I'm not interested in being a part of them. All I know is that every member of the alliance who joins is obliged to drink the blood of the devil as a form of loyalty, if anyone betrays the power of the blood will blow the person up" replied the man with a bowed face.

"Well you can go, then don't repeat what you did". Live with your family in peace, take good care of them" Long Guan said as he threw a bag of silver.

Seeing the kindness of Long Guan, the man prostrated himself and thanked him.

"I Mu Sheng will remember the goodwill of the swordsman master" Then he stood up and ran towards the back leaving Long Guan and Jian Ling.

"Gege, we better speed up our pace. I also know of a shortcut to the Sect, although it will enter the secret passage of the sect but for the safety of the sect surely the elders can understand it" Jian Ling said staring at Long Guan.

The two of them immediately rushed on their way towards the Wind Sword Sect, along the way Jian Ling looked anxious at the thought of his father.

Ever since his mother died, his father had not chosen to remarry, but had raised Jian Ling attentively.

From a young child he grew up under the guidance of his father, yet there was also one of the female elders of the Wind Sword Sect who helped take care of Jian Ling, she was elder Yang Guifei.

There was basically a complicated relationship between his father and Yang Guifei, but his sincere kindness made Jian Ling not feel depressed. In fact, she already considered Yang Guifei as her foster mother.

As it was late afternoon, Long Guan and Jian Ling continued their journey, because not far from their distance there would be a secret door that they would pass through.

Jian Ling accidentally found out while he was training in the forest behind the sect, but he did not tell anyone.

"Gege, that's the entrance" Jian Ling exclaimed as he pointed to one of the stones arranged like a formation.

Jian Ling who already knew the formation core of the stone door immediately activated it, suddenly a subtle vibration moved the stone door.

"Let's get Gege fast we go in" Invite Jiang Ling to pull Long Juan's hand inside.

They walked down a passageway filled with rocks a kind of hack manite, making their journey undisturbed dark. On the way, Long Guan's spiritual senses sensed such a powerful Qi which blocked the walls covered by stalactites and stalagmites.

"Wait a moment" Long Guan said stopping his steps.

"What's gege?" Jian Ling asked curiously.

"I feel a powerful radiance of Qi energy around here, you wait here, I'll examine it for a while.

Long Guan stepped forward, looking for something that could be used as a clue. But after a long search he did not find what he was looking for.

Then he took a few steps back, he took out the Nine Dragons punch. An enormous Qi energy gathered in his fists, it appeared that the shadow of the Fire Dragon was puffing towards the boulder.

"Boom!"

The stone shattered into pieces, a hole the size of two meters open. Jian Ling walked over to Long Guan.

Watching the scene before him, Jian Ling's eyes widened. He had not expected there to be a place like this before, then Long Guan clasped his hands towards the room.

Jian Ling felt an extremely dense stream of Qi enveloping the surrounding air.

"You cultivate for a while, utilize this Qi energy to increase your inner strength" Long Guan said with a smile.

"Thank you gege" then Jian Ling immediately took a precept sitting position and closed his eyes while absorbing an extremely dense Qi.
