Towards Eternity
Ch 669's. Arriving at Black Sand Island
After the departure of the wooden ship from the Lin Family territory, the ship continued to speed away and left the Mainland.
Controlled by Weng Lao De, the wooden ship darted towards Black Sand Island without facing any significant obstacles. Even the Masterless Region did not reduce the speed of the ship in the slightest.
Different compared to when they left from Black Sand Island, the Masterless Region now seemed like nothing to Weng Lao De other than a territory that had several Soul Emperors within it.
They took over a month to arrive at Black Sand Island.
The wooden ship landed on a field inside the Weng Ancestral Palace area. The Advisory Head of the Weng Family stood with both hands behind. There were several other figures who were together with him.
One of the figures that was with him was a woman who had dark red hair. He was accompanied by a man with a body as big as Lin Ao Man and wore a red robe with a Phoenix bird pattern.
The dark red-haired lady stared intently at the wooden ship that was moving down. When the ship actually reached the ground, the protective layer present on the wooden ship instantly disappeared. As soon as the protective layer of the ship disappeared, the red-haired woman instantly disappeared from where she stood and the next second she had appeared on the ship, standing right before Lin Ao Man.
Lin Ao Man's face immediately changed as soon as he saw that woman's figure. Lin Mei also looked wide agape.
"Mother?!" Lin Mei was surprised to see the sudden appearance of her mother.
However compared to him, the one who was most surprised was Lin Ao Man. Her heart almost stopped beating the moment she saw Lin Mei's mother's face. He wanted to say something, yet before he could speak, the surrounding scenery immediately changed.
What was originally the top of the ship, had now turned into an endless sea of flames.
There was no one but him in the midst of the lake of fire. The fire quickly spread and burned itself. He could feel his entire body burning and could not help but scream in pain.
"Aaaaghhhh!!!!! Tolooong!!!! Anyone?! Please!!!! Forgive me!!!! You just follow orders!!!! Agh!!!!!!"
When his shout started to sound like a desperate cry, the scenery around him immediately changed back to how it was. The nine Soul Emperors stared at him in silence. In their gazes, Lin Ao Man could feel their pity for him.
He soon realized that his body was not on fire and that he looked fine. What he saw and felt before was the illusion he had gained by just staring at Lin Mei's mother's two eyes at a glance. His position was currently curled up on the floor of the ship, making him look pitiful.
Lin Mei's mother was still standing in front of her, not moving in the slightest since she arrived.
"My daughter, tell your mother this, did this man attempt to kill you before?" asked Lin Mei's mother in a cold voice.
His voice carried an enormous will of annihilation. In contrast to Lin Nushen's extermination will that felt like hundreds of thousands of hot needles piercing through the skin, Lin Mei's mother's extermination will felt like it was burning inside one's body.
Lin Mei took a cold breath. He looked at Lin Ao Man whose entire body was shaking violently on the floor. Honestly speaking, she did not feel sorry to see him being tortured by his mother, yet she felt that she should not have done something like this at a time like this.
Moreover, they were currently within the territory of the Weng Family where the Head Advisor of the Weng Family was watching them.
"Honey, we can continue this later, Advisory Family Head Weng is watching, don't your actions seem disrespectful?" The man who was standing together with Lin Mei's mother previously spoke from below.
Mother Lin Mei's eyes immediately turned towards him. The man immediately shuddered in horror at the look in his wife's eyes.
Unlike when her husband spoke, this time Lin Mei's mother looked at her daughter with an affectionate gaze. He immediately walked over and hugged his youngest daughter.
"Well if you say it, let's go down. You must've had a dangerous adventure all along when mom wasn't with you." Lin Mei's mother's hands immediately soared and Lin Ao Man's figure instantly disappeared from his place. Everyone knew what would happen to Lin Ao Man after this.
That way the two of them darted down and landed in front of Lin Mei's father. Lin Mei's father immediately hugged Lin Mei tightly, like a father in general.
The eight Soul Emperors, led by Weng Lao De immediately got off the ship, leaving Weng Ying Luan alone who was still there along with Du Zhe.
Du Zhe looked foreign to where they were at the moment, in contrast to Weng Ying Luan who was very familiar with the Weng Ancestral Palace.
"Du Zhe, let's go down as well" said Weng Ying Luan.
With the help of Weng Ying Luan, Du Zhe flew down from the ship.
As soon as the two got off, the wooden ship instantly disappeared in empty air. Family Head Advisor Weng cleared his throat slowly. His death immediately drew everyone's attention to him.
"Lao De, lead everyone into the meeting room, Ying Luan take the child with you to the Talent Dormitory. Give him a room and have him clean himself, then go to my room with him."
After saying all that, the Advisory Head of the Weng Family immediately turned around and walked down the long passageway that led to the inside of the Weng Ancestral Palace.
Meanwhile, Weng Lao De led everyone to go to the meeting room that was also inside the Weng Ancestral Palace, just that the direction was different from the direction where the Advisory Head of the Weng Family went. No one questioned why, they obediently went towards the meeting room.
On the other hand Weng Ying Luan and Du Zhe walked in the other direction away from the Weng Ancestral Palace. The Talent Dormitory was a building built separately from the Weng Ancestral Palace and was inhabited by young members of the Weng Ancestral Family who possessed outstanding talent from all corners of Black Sand Island.
The Talent Dormitory belonging to the Weng Ancestral Family was shaped like the letter 'u' and had four floors. Each floor is occupied by children with different levels of strength.
The first floor was occupied by all the children who were in the Foundation Formation realm like Du Zhe. On the second floor was occupied by the child with the Practice Level of the Soul Cleansing realm and the third floor for those in the Soul Unification realm.
As for the fourth floor, those who stayed were not children who had been in the Soul Mastery realm. Basically someone whose Martial Practice Level was at the Soul Mastery realm must have been decades at the youngest, and also all the members of the Weng Ancestral Family who had reached the Soul Mastery realm would no longer be just ordinary members, but would become one of the Elders, instead, so that the fourth floor was not occupied by a child with Martial Practice Level in the Soul Mastery realm.
Those who lived on the fourth floor were children who were still at the Soul Unification realm, but their strength could easily rival that of Martial Practitioners in the Soul Mastery realm.
Weng Ying Luan led Du Zhe towards the Talent Dormitory. In that place, looking extremely lonely, there was not a single person in sight, thus making Weng Ying Luan seem a little confused.
This was not the first time he had come to the Talent Dormitory. At least every time he infiltrated the Weng Ancestral Family Residence, he would take the time to have fun in the Talent Dormitory to fight with children his age. It was not a fight, but oppression. But even so, this Talent Dormitory is very crowded, at least the first floor is inhabited by thousands of children if he does not remember wrong.
"Uncle Master, what kind of place is this? Why isn't there no one?" Du Zhe asked curiously.
Weng Ying Luan scratched her non-itchy head. He didn't know what to answer, nor did he know where people were going.
"Ehem. Good then, we can easily find you a room. Come quickly, the Family Head Advisor will scold me if we linger," Weng Ying Luan replied as she batik dried.
