Towards Eternity
Ch 605s
Among the soldiers who were in front of Weng Lou, a soldier clandestinely took out a message-sending jade from his storage ring and held it tightly until it shattered into pieces after sending an emergency message to another group of troops not far from their place.
Weng Lou was aware of this, yet he did not try to stop it. After all, the plan was to meet the head of the Lin Family.
There was something he had to ascertain, namely the identity of the Lin Family Head. If he was the person he was really looking for, then the information he needed must have belonged to him.
On the other hand, the soldiers who heard Weng Lou's request looked at each other. Meeting their Head of Family, who wouldn't? Have any of them ever met her? Even their captain, who had been rendered unconscious by Weng Lou a moment ago had never met him.
How could they possibly bring Weng Lou to meet him? His request was impossible to be granted by them, even if they wanted to.
Being in a disadvantageous situation, the soldiers could only remain silent for as long as they were in their place which made Weng Lou feel irritated and raised next to his eyebrows.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say that you would help me? Then why are you all just quiet? Or maybe, you want to feel a few blows from me," Weng Lou said as he let out a slight killing aura.
Just a little bit of that alone was enough to change the atmosphere of the entire street they were on. The swordsmen and visitors around the place could clearly feel an invisible killing aura suffocating their necks and making them unable to breathe normally.
Just as they were all about to open their mouths to answer, the soldier who had previously sent a message to the other troops using the message-sending jade suddenly walked forward and approached slightly towards Weng Lou.
"Tu-Master! Young Master! Please follow me, I will take you to our leader. You can calm down and follow from behind!" He spoke while putting on a slightly nervous face.
Lying is easy, but lying right in front of someone like Weng Lou is like talking to a lion. It is difficult to maintain calm so as not to be suspected.
"Oh! Really it? Then please lead the way, I'll follow you from behind, just like you said." Weng Lou replied as he put on his smile again.
The soldier hurriedly stepped onto one street and Weng Lou walked up to follow him. The other soldiers could only stay in their place without saying a single word. The road both of them were on was the center of the city, and there was where the most troops like them gathered.
Of course, they couldn't possibly tell Weng Lou this. In any case, Weng Lou was a villain who dared to fight them. The only way was to lead him to the other troops and attack him together.

Meanwhile, in the suburbs. Weng Ying Luan along with Du Zhe and the others darted quickly among the people who were around the city streets.
Some people looked at them in confusion, while others stared suspiciously. The ones who were staring suspiciously were the members of the Lin Family. Usually those who run around in the city are those who do evil and there will be city warriors chasing after them.
However, there was not a single soldier in sight behind them, so their suspicions were only limited to mere suspicion.
A city so big makes a long distance to go around the city. By relying on Weng Ying Luan who was picking up the speed of a Martial Practitioner in the 9th level of the Soul Cleansing realm, their group had only reached halfway towards the border gate towards the inner region.
"Sadly, these people, they can't stop looking at me. I know I'm handsome, but there's no need until everyone stares at me like that" said Weng Ying Luan, who took a big turn at the next fork in the road.
Du Zhe who was right behind him only smiled wryly hearing it. He knew that this Master's brother had a unique personality, just like his teacher, but their personalities were arguably much different even though they were both unique.
Weng Lou always maintained his always unpredictable attitude with more calm and less talkative. Distinctly different from Weng Ying Luan who will always speak every few seconds. Although Du Zhe did not hate this, he was still not used to it. Moreover, Weng Ying Luan was always talking about things that were not very important.
"Senior, will my Master be okay?" du Zhe asked in a slightly worried voice.
Obviously he was worried about Weng Lou, lying if not. Moreover, he had already heard about how powerful and powerful the Four Great Clan Families that ruled the Mainland were. This made him think more and more about the safety of Weng Lou.
He could not understand how powerful Weng Lou was, this Master who had ravaged several places. Hopefully this time he can stay back in good shape as before.
"You're worried about him, huh? Du Zhe, as a person who has been with your Master for quite some time, I will tell you one important thing about that Master of yours. That Lou, as far as I know, he suppressed his own level of practice in order not to level up very quickly, just like me. If following the wealth he possessed, as well as the sheer amount of resources he had, he should have long since reached the realm of Soul Unification stage 5 more, yet he had persisted beneath him, yet he had remained below him, you want to know why?"
Du Zhe blinked. He doesn't know the reason. Even he had no idea that anyone would intentionally suppress his own level of practice like that, he had only heard of it this time.
"Usually, people would insanely increase their level of practice in order to reach a higher realm, but in contrast to one who deliberately suppressed their level of practice. People like us are more focused on basic and engineering development. Only those who do have high talent and confidence are safe to do this."
"However, it's different with Lou. The foundation had been perfect for a long time, even since he was in the Soul Cleansing realm, it was basically already almost on par with Martial Practitioners in the Soul Unification realm. His techniques moreover, he had a myriad of martial techniques. I know this because I always train with him, even he often gives me some advice on my martial techniques."
Hearing this, Du Zhe could not help his shock. Her teacher is really that great? It's just fitting that he's so great.
His admiration, and respect for Weng Lou grew even more after hearing this.
"The strength he piled up made him completely invincible at his level. The only reason he couldn't win against me all this time was because I was much more skilled at utilizing both Qi as well as Soul Power as well as I had a bloodline that helped me even if it wasn't activated. Technically, his techniques are much stronger than mine. But now, since he had no more Qi, he should have started to realize something. His strength that was too long unstoppable within his body it had to start to be expended. I'm sure he can handle the problem. So Du Zhe, you don't worry anymore."
"If there's anything you want to worry about, it's all of us here. Even though I am strong, it does not mean that I am invincible. Soon we will reach the city border gate. I'm sure there will be a lot of soldiers there, and they must be very strong. It's almost impossible for us to actually infiltrate, but I'm still risking it all, because I'm sure we can, either by luck or whatever, we can."
Weng Ying Luan stopped explaining and immediately increased her speed. He again jumped high into the air and landed across the three-story building.
Du Zhe nodded after hearing Weng Ying Luan tell him a story. He began to understand about his teacher, it could be said that his teacher was a person who sought perfection. It is a good thing, but in a bloody martial world, perfection is not always good, it sometimes brings danger to a person.
He can only hope, hopefully he can become like his teacher in the future.

Far behind the current group of Weng Ying Luan. Actually, downtown.
More than a hundred fully-uniformed soldiers were encircling Weng Lou and surrounding him while pointing their weapons at him.
Behind them, about two hundred soldiers had already fallen unconscious on the ground. There was no trace of any attack on them. The only similarity was that the color of their eyes turned white due to the soul attack from Weng Lou's Soul Power which rendered them unconscious.
"Hey, who's your leader?"
Weng Lou asked as he looked at the people surrounding him.
Their faces all looked alert. Obviously the strength that Weng Lou displayed made them all frightened, but as the Lin Family warriors, they should not be daunted by any of their opponents.
"I am the Leader of the Guard Force, Lin Mu Ya. You, the criminal who has attacked the city warriors, what do you want? Aren't you afraid of the Lin Family?!" A tall, well-built man with half-red and half-black hair exclaimed from in front of the troops surrounding Weng Lou.
Weng Lou turned and looked at him. Pretty fast too.
"I respect the Lin Family, but a group from your family has stolen my ship in the port of Tiesha City. No one even told me when it happened. So one of the reasons I came here was for the sake of getting my ship back. Also, there is some business that I have to do with your Lin Family Family Head. Can you take me to meet him? I promise I won't be rude to you again and obey you, as long as I can meet her," explained Weng Lou casually as he shrugged his shoulders.
Mu Ya opened her mouth, about to speak, but a voice had already cut her off, "Oh, is that true? Can I tell you what you need to meet me, O people from Black Sand Island?"
From above the sky, the figure of an angel-like woman descending from above heaven floated up and spoke to Weng Lou. Simultaneously with his appearance, dozens of warriors dressed in special war clothes from the Fire Dragon Scales appeared and surrounded Weng Lou above the sky.
Eleven soldiers, with high posture and emitting white steam from their bodies. This scene suddenly made everyone there surprised instead of playing. Especially when looking at the figure of the woman who was in the middle of the eleven soldiers.
"HO-HONORATE TO YOUR HIGHNESS THE HEAD OF THE FAMILY!!! LIVE THE LIN FAMILY!!" Mu Ya, quickly exclaimed out loud as soon as she realized the identity of the woman.
He was the current Head of the Lin Family Family, Lin Nushen. The members of the Lin Family Core Family who had lived since the time of the great family war hundreds of years ago.
Everyone within the Lin Family knew of his face, yet not all of them had ever seen him in person. But even so, it was impossible for them not to know him.
Immediately, the sound of another exclamation echoed along the downtown street. The visitors were all astonished, not knowing what to do.
Meanwhile, on the other side. Weng Lou who was in the middle of them just stood still while looking at each other with Lin Nushen without moving in the slightest.
"Hahaha. To think one had eleven people in the Soul Mastery realm who became personal warriors, was completely insane. I've even seen this many Soul Rulers in my life. And also, he instantly knew I was from Black Sand Island, it seemed like he already knew my identity." Weng Lou spoke in his heart.
The eleven warriors surrounding him in the air were Soul Sovereigns, while their leader, Lin Nushen was Soul Emperor. He had really entered into the lion's den.
"Greet the Head of the Lin Family." Weng Lou immediately saluted the woman.
"Hm, there's no need to bother saluting me. I don't know what reason you came here, but for the sake of convenience, we'd better continue our conversation elsewhere" Lin Nushen said in a cold voice.
He turned around, and his figure instantly shot flying towards the deeper part of the Lin Family Residence.
Without the slightest hesitation, Weng Lou immediately followed him from behind. Eleven warriors in the Soul Mastery realm moved and flew behind him.
