Towards Eternity
Ch 662's. Reunite
Weng Ying Luan took a deep breath. He then flew towards the direction the wooden ship was in at this moment.
Lin Mei followed him from behind, while the Goat Sage and the Green Dragon Snake remained silent in their place. The Lion King had not paid much attention to the existence of the wooden ship containing more than one Soul Emperor.
He was already not too surprised to see the appearance of several Soul Emperors at times like this.
"Isn't it our goal to exterminate the Ying Family? Don't you think can a Great Family like the Ying Family be destroyed by two mere Soul Sovereigns like us? Ah, perhaps more precisely, a Soul Ruler, and two Soul Kings. Even if the two of us have previously been at the Soul Emperor level, it would be impossible for us to exterminate the Ying Family.
At the very least we should have more than five Soul Emperors to do such a thing. A Great Family like the Ying Family definitely had many defensive systems that had been created since the time of the Nine-headed White Snake's leadership. A few mere Soul Emperors would not be able to break through their defenses, let alone destroy the Ying Family that had existed for thousands of years."
The Lion King spoke calmly and sounded very reasonable. From his analysis he learned that the Ying Family had at least more than one Soul Emperor guarding their current residence in order for the outside powers to be unable to break through their defensive formation.
Also, he reminded that they currently did not know for sure, whether the Nine-Headed Snake, Ying She was still alive or not.
If he was still alive until now, then his lifespan had been over a thousand years. Which meant just one thing, he had reached the Deva realm and become a god. It would be critical if such a thing really happened, because they were currently within the territory of the Ying Family and if Ying She was able to bring out the Domain ability in the Deva realm, then, then finish their history.
The Green Snake Dragon took a cold breath, he turned his head towards where the Ying Family Residence was located. Although he could not see it, yet he was certain that their actions were all currently being seen by someone they were unaware of.
"Because I've joined you guys, so I'll just tell you the truth. According to what I know, the Ancestor of the Ying Family, the Nine-headed White Snake is still alive today and controls the entire Ying Family from behind the shadows. This information I got from the previous ruler of the Green Serpent Dragon, my father.
Although I don't know the truth of this information, I'm sure my father has no reason to lie to me. The story I heard from him when I was young was about Ying She, the Nine-Headed White Snake had reached the Deva realm right at the end of his life as a Soul Emperor. Thanks to that, he returned to being young and his life age increased.
My father said, when he ascended to become a Soul Emperor, the will of Ying She descended upon him and he was given two choices. Obey him and become a guard within the Ying Ancestral Forest, or die. Since he only intended to protect us, the young Green Snake Dragon and needed a lot of direction, my father finally took the choice to become the guardian of the Ying Ancestral Forest.
Unfortunately, due to a major war incident five hundred years ago, he sustained quite serious injuries. Although he managed to recuperate, his internal injuries could not be recovered by one hundred percent. He only had a few years left before he died four hundred years ago. Before he died, my father sent me a message by telepathy, saying that when I became Soul Emperor, I was free to make any choice, Ying She will not restrict me in this forest as she turns out to be in a half-sleep state caused by the injuries she got from the fight against a God from the Yang Family."
The Green Serpent Dragon let out a long sigh and then gazed towards the wooden ship. Weng Ying Luan and Lin Mei looked to be already very close to the wooden ship.
***
On the wooden boat, the representative figure of the Weng Family stared with a faint smile at the figures of Weng Ying Luan and Lin Mei who were flying towards them.
He swung his hand, the mist blocking the path towards the wooden ship immediately disappeared and formed a path.
Weng Ying Luan and Lin Mei were not surprised to see the path between the fog that had suddenly appeared. Both of them immediately increased their flight rate and after a while finally both of them arrived in front of the wooden ship.
It was seen that a layer of barrier stopped the two from flying closer to the wooden ship further.
Both of them looked calm as they looked at the protector. There was no sense of danger arising from that layer, yet the two still did not attempt to touch it.
"Hmmm......Ying Luan, your father left a message that you must fulfill your duties as a member of the Weng Family. What do you think of this? Are you going to come with us in the fight against the Ying Family to the last point of blood or go home this time as well with Princess Mei back to Black Sand Island?"
At that time Weng Ying Luan very often infiltrated into the residential area and it was not uncommon for her to openly try to enter the palace where the nuclear family lived.
The young Weng Ying Luan considered herself a maid inside the residence so as not to be afraid of her. He also did not particularly consider the behavior displayed by Weng Ying Luan to be insolent, as basically the people in the territory of the Weng Ancestral Palace's residence also thought of it that way, as they were, basically, the people in the territory of the Weng Ancestral Palace's residence also thought of it as such, an old man who worked as a maid in the Weng Ancestral Family residence.
"Hi grandfather, can you not tell anyone if I sneak into the palace grounds? I promise I'll buy you a meal when I get back!" Those were the words that Weng Ying Luan often said when her figure was discovered by the old man was trying to get inside the palace.
Weng Lao De would only shake his head upon hearing those words from Weng Ying Luan. According to her Weng Ying Luan was a very attractive child.
It was not because the extremely young Weng Ying Luan was trying to infiltrate the palace, but because she saw the figure of Weng Ying Luan who had a kind of aura that felt strange to her. He was not sure what aura it was, yet every time he saw it, Weng Ying Luan's figure caught his attention even more.
"Haha....Grandpa De, you know I'm a filial son to a parent, right? I will definitely follow what my father told me," Weng Ying Luan replied with a carefree smile.
He had long known the identity of Weng Lao De. Her foster father told her. But he did not feel disturbed in the slightest because he felt Weng Lao De was also not a problem with his actions.
Weng Lao De nodded in understanding, then he turned to Lin Mei. He blinked and then a slightly surprised expression appeared on his face.
"Princess Mei? I didn't think your aura would be so strong, you surprised me. It seems that you have managed to further awaken your Phoenix bloodline abilities since the last time I came to visit the Lin Family Residence. I congratulate you. Ah, true. Do you want to come with us? The army of beasts that you managed to subdue will be of great help in our plans," Weng Lao De told Lin Mei.
Lin Mei nodded gently. Although she was acting explosively towards her closest people like Weng Lou and Weng Ying Luan, yet she did not forget her identity as a daughter of the mighty Head of the Lin Family.
She can be so impulsive, but can also be graceful like a real princess.
"I will, as a member of the Lin Family. It is my duty to uphold the oath that binds us all Martial Practitioners living on Black Sand Island. I will kill the people of the Ying Family and make everyone in Mainland know, that this is the reward that will be obtained if you dare to break the oath."
Weng Lao De nodded in satisfaction hearing the answer from Lin Mei. Both of his hands clenched hard. He focused his focus on the protector in front of Weng Ying Luan and Lin Mei, after a while, the layer trembled for a while before then a hole two meters wide was formed.
"Come in, we'll talk about the plans we've made over the past few months to you" Weng Lao De said with a slightly frowned. Controlling the protective layer was not an easy task for him, because this was made by the Weng Family Advisor who was a Martial Practitioner in the Deva realm.
Without the slightest hesitation, Weng Ying Luan stepped through the protective layer, followed by Lin Mei behind her whose face was slightly dark as she looked at the figure of Lin Ao Man.
He clearly recognized her figure, though, he was one of the many Elders of his Lin Family who had blatantly shown his disrespect towards him and always said all insults to him when he had always encountered Lin Mei in the Residence Lin Family.
Lin Mei had never complained to her father or mother if someone behaved like Lin Ao Man to her. He understood that he would only make his father lose face if he instead made his father intervene to punish Lin Ao Man, as well as if he complained to his mother.
Therefore, he had only kicked away all his anger and displeasure all along. He always hoped that someday, he, he could make people like Lin Ao Man fall silent and swallow their own saliva when he had already become so strong as to stand alone without the shadows of his father and mother.
"So the person that the Lin Family sent to this place was you, Lin Ao Man. It seems I don't have to wait until I return to Black Sand Island to repay what you've done all this time to me."
