System Break the Limit - Qing Shandian' Journey
Ch.46 - The Decision of the Powerful Leaders of the City of Orange Month
After some time, Qing Shandian and Mu Lingyun arrived in front of the Meeting House of the Orange Moon Trading House. They could hear the boisterous sounds of conversation inside the room. With quiet steps, Qing Shandian opened the door and directly entered the room.
Simultaneously, when everyone heard the sound of the door opening, they immediately turned their eyes towards Qing Shandian who entered the room. In that instant, the boisterous atmosphere completely became silent.
Qing Shandian swept his gaze at the familiar faces in the room and gave a light nod as a greeting, before finally he and Mu Lingyun sat in a row of empty seats in front of Leader Wen's right. Those who were inside the room were none other than Leader Wen and the Elders of the Orange Moon Trading House, City Leader Zhu Linyan, Blue Sky Sect Leader, Orange Moon, Round Crescent, and the Leaders of the few Clans he had met before.
Meanwhile, Leader Wen who noticed Qing Shandian had been in his sitting position, he swept his gaze at everyone in the room and said, "Alright. Everyone, since the young master has come in this meeting, I as the host announce, that this meeting is beginning."
"Young master, their arrival here has to do with what the young master has told them. For this matter, I will leave it to the young master." Leader Wen spoke after a short pause from his opening remarks, while looking towards Qing Shandian.
As soon as Leader Wen's words were finished, Qing Shandian immediately swept his gaze at everyone. He nodded lightly and said, "Good. I-i understand. I will repeat it once more before hearing your decision. First, I will not tolerate betrayal in any form or reason. Second, I will leave this Tianxia Continent one day. Lastly, it's not coercion. So, I hope you guys have negotiated and thought about it well with your members. We'll start with a brief introduction. My name is Qing Shandian. As for my origins, there's no need to say anymore."
Those who were present except the parties from the Orange Moon Trading House exchanged glances for a moment, then began to introduce themselves.
"As the young master knew, I, Zhu Linyan, the leader of the Orange Moon City."
"The leader of the Blue Sky Sect, Du Huanglin."
"The leader of the Orange Moon Sect, Mo Qianyu."
"Crescent Sect Leader, Lu Lifeng."
"Leader of the Shen Clan, Shen Diren."
"Leader of the Han Clan, Han Liu."
"Leader of the Su Clan, Su Jinhao."
"Leader of the Jiao Clan, Jiao Jinghan."
When they are done briefly introduce themselves. Qing Shandian nodded his head, then casually said, "Emm.. Now, how did you decide? Do you want to follow me, or remain a part of Orange Moon City?"
As soon as Qing Shandian's voice fell, the Orange Moon Sect Leader, Mo Qianyu immediately replied, "Sorry young master, if I may, I would like to ask you a few things."
"certain. Sect Leader Qianyu could say it." Said Qing Shandian in a calm tone.
Hearing that response, Mo Qianyu inhaled a deep breath of air. He turned his gaze towards Mu Lingyun before then disobeying Qing Shandian. He said, "First, does the young master want us to follow the young Master in whole, or in part? Second, where will we go if we follow the young master? Third, If we travel together, doesn't that mean we'll travel in the form of a large group?"
"good. I'll answer him for that. First, about following me as a whole or not, I don't give any limits. But at the very least, we need to leave behind some strength to guard and protect the Orange Moon city right? Then the second one...." Qing Shandian spoke as he looked at the Orange Moon Sect Leader, before then he turned his gaze alternately to everyone in the room, and he continued. "Secondly, this is a very sensitive issue actually. But, I'll say it for all of you. My clan is not from this continent. More precisely, we are from the Tiankong Continent. Have you ever heard of that?"
As soon as Qing Shandian's last sentence fell, the already silent atmosphere of the room became even more silent. Everyone was shocked when they heard it.
The leader of the Blue Sky Sect, Du Huanglin who was awakened from his shock breathed in a breath of cold air. He then said in a serious tone. "I know very little about the Tiankong Continent. According to the records of our sect ancestors, thousands of years ago, there was once someone very powerful who managed to descend to the Tianxia Continent. In the note it was written, that luckily he was not an arrogant cultivator. If not, maybe the Tianxia Continent at that time had been destroyed because of his actions. Tiankong Continent, there strong cultivators scattered like clouds. Even many gigantic sects ruled over the land. Did the Young Master Clan really come from that place?"
"really. My clan is from Darisana. I'll say this early. The path of cultivation after following me, it won't be as peaceful as you now feel. So think about it. And for the third question, we will not travel in groups. But I will travel alone. While you follow me, you will cultivate calmly, before you are ready to face a more ruthless world. Do you think I'm like the one who's going to make my followers cannon fodder while I run away? I'm not a fool. It's certain I won't make any moves that can attract the attention of a lot of power." Said Qing Shandian in a serious tone while occasionally sweeping his gaze.
"That's.. Young master, if we don't travel with the young master, doesn't that mean we will stay?" The bewildered inner city leader Zhu Linyan, followed by another similarly bewildered one.
With a slow chuckle, Qing Shan chimed in. "Hehe.. Naturally, that is true if it is someone else you are following. However, that wouldn't apply if it was me you guys followed." He then waved his hand at the City Leader, Zhu Linyan and he disappeared.
However, it was only a moment before he re-emerged from thin air. His body looked stiff like a statue with a surprised impression that still adorned his face.
"What do you think of the city leader Yan? What have you seen and felt?" Qing Shandian said still in a relaxed tone.
Meanwhile, everyone other than the City Leader was clearly getting more and more confused. They simultaneously turned their eyes towards the City Leader.
"City leader, what happened? Where did you disappear to?" Said Lu Lifeng who from the beginning just sat quietly watching in a deep and somewhat hoarse voice.
Hearing someone call out to him, City Leader Zhu Linyan regained her senses and laughed loudly and shocked everyone in the room.
"Hahaahaha... Justjust wonderful... Absolutely remarkable.. Haha." Racau the City Leader in between his laughter. But soon he woke up. With a light chuckle he said, "Hehe.. I'm sorry, I'm just so shocked and excited that I forgot you were here."
"Then, can City Leader Yan explain what you've seen to the others?" Sahut Qing Shandian while upholding his back that feels stiff.
Hearing that remark, City Leader Yan looked at Qing Shandian for a moment before sweeping his gaze to everyone in the room. In a serious tone he said. "What I see and feel is a place with a Spiritual Qi density that is tens of times denser than here. Maybe about 50 times or even 70 times denser than here. Even though it was only for a moment that I set foot, the Spiritual Qi within my dantian instantly churned, as if it would make me break through at any moment."
Qing Shandian who noticed everyone's expressions could only shake his head before speaking. "So, what's your decision? Again I say. I won't force you if you don't want to. Besides, my journey will bring you many hardships."
"Young master, I, Zhu Linyan and the entire Zhu Clan will follow you without regret from now on... Haha." The leader of the city was quickly accompanied by his booming laughter.
Nodding his head, Qing Shandian turned to the others and said, "What about you guys? The Li clan will also follow me."
Hearing that, they simultaneously looked at Leader Wen before being replied with a nod, as did the Elders of the Orange Moon Trading House who nodded along.
"good. I, Mo Qianyu, represent the entire Orange Moon Sect will follow the young master from now on. After all, isn't our proud Elder Yun also following beside the young master?" He then turned his gaze towards Mu Lingyun who was sitting quietly and quietly.
"Haihihah... Sect Leader Qianyu, I followed An gege because of heart, not because of wealth or anything he had. If it was just that, maybe I'd already demanded this and that from him." Mu Lingyun giggled softly as she closed her lips before replying to Sectional Leader Mo Qianyu.
"Hmphc.. Little girl, you are becoming more and more good at talking after just one night of not meeting. Did the young master do something to you? Or..." Chirp Mo Qianyu retorted while giving a mischievous look.
"Ah... There aren't. Of course there's no such thing. Sect Leader, don't talk nonsense." Mu Lingyun's voice quickly waved her hand, but a faint red hue was visible on her pretty face. After which, he immediately turned his gaze away from the Orange Moon Sect Leader.
"Already have.. Now what about the others? Do you want to stay here?" Qing Shandian.
"I represent the Shen Clan will follow the young master from now on." Shen Diren said in a firm tone.
"Klan Han will also follow the young master." Sahut Han Liu in a tone that was no less resolute than Clan Leader Shen.
"Klan Su will follow the young master."
"Klan Jiao will follow the young master."
Su Jinhao and Jiao Jinghan were together.
"The blue Sky Sect will follow the young master." Du Huanglin's words were firmly accompanied by a searing glare of determined eyes.
"Sorry, young master, the Crescent Moon Sect will still be staying in the Orange Moon city. Although I actually wanted to follow the young master, it has become a mutual decision." Lu Lifeng said after much consideration.
When Qing Shandian heard Lu Lifeng's words, he remained calm. In a relaxed tone he replied. "certain. I won't force the Crescent Sect to follow me."
Sweeping his gaze at everyone, Qing Shandian solemnly said. "Except the Crescent Sect, you guys have chosen to follow me. Therefore, there should be new powers to support this city other than the Crescent Moon Sect. At least, if one day a wave of spiritual beast attacks came again, the Orange Moon city would be saved. In addition, since the power of the Orange Moon city will be greatly reduced, I will install a high-level Heaven Class protective array to compensate for the loss of some power."
Stopping until here, Qing Shandian took a light breath before continuing. "For the city leader of Yan, you must choose a new city leader that you trust. As for the sect that followed me, tell your disciples to bring their parents to settle in the city of Orange Moon for a while. All of you should continue to increase your strength as much as you can."
"Then, young master, will the young master not take us directly?" Mo Qianyu said.
"really. This is the first test for you. I don't want to if one day your heart wavers over something. Strength, Wealth, Power, these three things can blind the eyes of anyone's heart. And it will shake anyone. Therefore, before I leave, I give that task. Later when I return to the city of Moon Orange, I hope you are still in your standing. However, if you guys end up choosing to stay, I won't blame you guys. Do you guys understand?"
Everyone exchanged glances before simultaneously replying. "We understand, young master."
"good. Since this meeting is already getting results, I won't talk more nonsense." Sahut Qing Shandian before shaking his hand.
"Gush.."
A neatly arranged row of jade bottles appeared from thin air, and it was two different types of jade bottles of different colors. Qing Shandian swept his gaze at everyone in the room who was shocked. He said, "Everything in this jade bottle is my second test for you. Whether you can I believe and stay faithful or not. Because I know one thing. As one's strength grew, most of them would forget where they started from, and twist the bow. I will not discriminate against anyone. Each of you will get 40 bottles. All in this jade bottle are pills to help increase your cultivation, the High-Level 'Spiritual Qi Compressing Pill' of Class 8. This was an improvement from the 'Spiritual Qi Gatherer Pill'. Whatever your decision is when I return to the city of Orange Moon, I will not regret doing this for you."
As soon as Qing Shandian's words were finished, the room went back to being quiet. Everyone stared at Qing Shandian in disbelief.
"Ehem.. Alright. Let's end this meeting. You guys share all that evenly. No cheating or I'll figure it out. I must also prepare to continue my journey through this continent. Good bye everyone. We'll meet again." Qing Shandian spoke as he stretched his body lazily before stepping his legs unsteadily away.
"Ah.. An gege wait for me." Mu Lingyun said in shock before standing up and chasing Qing Shandian's steps.
While everyone who was in the room regained their senses, they immediately turned their eyes to look at the backs of Qing Shandian and Mu Lingyun who were slowly disappearing through the door of the Meeting House.
