Ace Of Terrans



After a small discussion among themselves, Shi Lang rushed to the family elders, and Xiao Nan went to the Tianxu Pavilion. The former told the elders he would like to go out to gain experience. When asked what to do about the Fourth Prince, Shi Lang told them he would handle it. 

Shi Yulong smiled and said, "Very well, since you want to go, I will not stop you. But you do not have a space ring. The one you have will not be accessible since you have yet to reach the immortal soul realm. Also, do not reveal your spirit tattoo to anyone easily." 

Shi Lang bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your advice, Patriarch." 

Shi Yulong waved his hand and tossed a space ring to Shi Lang. He said, "This space ring has a space of fifty square yards." 

Shi Lang could not help but marvel. This space ring was bigger than his space ring by five times. He expressed his gratitude again and moved out. His first stop was the guest courtyard, where the Fourth Prince secluded himself. 

He stood at the entrance and asked, "Shi Lang has come to bid farewell to the Fourth Prince." 

Bai Hu appeared before him in a flicker and asked, "Yo! Brother Lang, where are you going without fighting me?" 

Shi Lang smiled and said, "My cultivation has reached a bottleneck. If I wish to succeed, I must seek a chance.' 

Bai Hu wanted to talk more when a calm voice sounded, "His Highness is calling him in." 

Bai Hu led Shi Lang inside the courtyard. The terran found himself in the garden where the Fourth Prince moved his sword. However, the slight rustling sound of the wind was still audible. 

Shi Lang furrowed his brows and said, "Calm your heart. Only when you have patience will you achieve greatness. Remember, it is not your swiftness but your smoothness that makes your blade silent. Only practice the basics until you achieve smoothness in them, do not perform sword dance."

His voice was calm, and it reached Tian Longjian's ears. Soon her movements became smoother and calm. Shi Lang nodded and said, "Brother Bai Hu, I will leave the manor soon. You all can stay here for as long as you like. Please do not hesitate to tell His Highness I am apologetic for my abrupt departure." 

Bai Hu waved his hand with a big smile and said, "Do not worry. We understand. Elder Ye will deal with the matters here. You can rest assured." 

Shi Lang nodded and left the courtyard. Elder Ye appeared soon after, saying, "This young man, he is not simple." 

Bai Hu was surprised, and First Master Ling asked, "This is the first time I have seen Senior Ye complimenting someone even in his absence." 

Ye Ling stroked his beard and said, "You do not know, Xiao Ling. Only when the time is right should you know why I think highly of him." 

...

Shi Lang had just left the manor when he sensed a few gazes pointed at his back. He moved to the Tianxu Pavilion and came to find Xiao Nan. The lady told Elder Chen to handle the work, but he said, "Miss Xiao, I do not think it is safe for both of us to leave the city at the same time." 

Xiao Nan raised her brows and asked, "Why do you say so?" 

Shi Lang sighed and sat down on a chair. He said, "The young master of the Ling Family has tagged tails behind us." 

Xiao Nan smiled and said, "You do not have to worry. Elder Chen will handle them." 

Shi Lang gazed at the old man, who nodded and vanished from his place. Soon, he returned with a few men tied up and knocked out cold. The old man said, "Although we can deal with these tails, what would you do with the city guards? They will talk about Young Miss leaving with you. Also, by now, the City Hall must have gotten the news of what is happening, and City Lord must have put his cronies up to it too." 

Shi Lang sighed and said, "I wish I could go and kill these two snakes directly." 

Xiao Nan shook her head and said, "If only it were that easy." 

At this moment, Xiang San appeared and knocked on the door. Xiao Nan waved her hand to call him inside, and they told him the situation. Xiang San had told them to avoid detection. Shi Lang was not very strong, and if he pulled away from the spies with his ability, chances were that the Ling family would be alerted. 

Another solution was for him to kill a person, but the City guard will find the body and with the bed warming relation of the two enemies. He will bring Shi Family into the thick of it. Xiang San smiled and took out three masks from his space ring. He said, "Their masks can alter appearances. For example, you can assume the face of a random passerby and walk around. However, ensure you do not meet the person you pretend to be. Things will be awkward." 

Shi Lang was surprised, and Xaio Nan said, "Indeed, you deserve your name of a big city young thug." 

Xiang San coughed up and asked, "What do you mean by a thug?" 

Xiao Nan did not say anything but inspected the mask carefully. Shi Lang raised his brows, picked up the mask, and placed it on his face. The spirit energy condensed, and his appearance shocked the people. Even his hair had changed. Xiao Nan looked at him and then smiled evilly.

She said, "Young Master Shi, very good." 

Shi Lang chuckled and said, "Shall we go?" 

Xiao Nan nodded and then picked up the mask to change her appearance. She turned into a beautiful lady. Elder Chen said, "Young Miss, this. If you, the city hall got to know. They would trouble us." 

Xiao Nan shook her head and said, "Do not worry, Elder Chen, I have a sense of measure."

...

The three people appeared at the city gates. The guards on duty knew the identity of the two people and were shocked. Ling Tian walked holding a battle fan in his hand, with a lady in red following him. 

The city guards bowed and said, "Young Master Ling, Young Miss Shui."

The girl was addressed as the Young Miss, meaning she was the daughter of the Xuan family. The daughter of the city lord. 

Xuan Shui replied with a nod, and the two people left the city with Xiang San in tow. The guards did not care much about him. However, when Xuan Shui passed the gate, she said, "If any of you let someone know that you have seen me or Brother Tian. I will have your heads on my feet. Understood?" 

The guards nodded and said, "As you command, Young Miss." 

Xuan Shui nodded and left after casting a prolonged gaze at the guards as if she was memorizing their faces. The guard captain waited till the two people were out of sight. Xiang San did not follow them because it would make the guards notice him. 

The guard captain sighed and said, "Whenever I see this lady, my soul shivers in terror." 

Another colleague said, "Oh, I cannot help but agree more with you, Captain." 

...

Ling Tian and Xuan Shui exited the city on foot and rushed into the forest. After checking the surroundings, the people took down their masks and regrouped with Xiang San. Shi Lang asked, "Now, tell me where you heard about this tomb and what the catch is." 

Xiang San nodded and said, "I had gone for the Five Mountain sect admission while camping in the forest. I had taken a masking pill to avoid any beasts tracking me. When I heard two seniors passing over, I was hiding that an Immortal Sovereign from the central planes had fallen here in the eastern barrens, leaving behind a tomb with considerable treasures." 

Xiao Nan nodded and then asked, "Then why didn't any senior make any attempt into discovering this tomb?" 

Xiang San said, "Because they are looking in the wrong locations. The senior was called Myriad Titan Immortal Sovereign. He was a body refiner but also had great command over speed and the whip." 

Xiao Nan asked, "Then how do you know it is the wrong place everyone is looking into?" 

Xiang San said, "There is a saying in my family. Be so strong that the reality looks like an illusion." 

The two people raised their eyebrows and Xiang San said, "The idiom sucks, but the ancestor of my clan devised it, Xiang Yunhao, also known as the Myriad Titan Immortal Sovereign."

Shi Lang stopped in his tracks and so did Xiao Nan. Xiang San raised his chin and said, "What the rest of the family does not know is this idiom is the key to the location of the tomb." 

Xiao Nan and Shi Lang spoke up in unison, "Titan Mountain." 

Xiang San said, "Half correct, The Myriad caves of the Titan Mountains."
