Ace Of Terrans Chapter 946 Inner Court

Shi Lang and Lady Yao vanished from the wilderness and they arrived at the entrance of the Forbidden Valley. Just as the forr wanted to say sothing, a gentle voice sounded from the inside, "Co in, Xiao Lang."

Shi Lang smiled and walked through the valley, he did not even realize the passage of ti outside. It had been a year since he left the sect. While moving forward, Shi Lang raised his left hand and typed a ssage for Tong Bai, informing her that he had returned to the Martial Spirit Hall safely. Explore more at empire

Tong Bai had mastered using the communicator and replied, "Good, during the seven star tournant you should not spare any of the three families. I will see you there."

Shi Lang smiled at this and only replied with an Okay. The young man arrived near the small cottage where he found Cao Ming sitting on a rocking chair with a chess board set before him. The Terran knelt and paid his respects, before Cao Ming shook his head with a helpless smile.

He did not wish for Shi Lang to kneel every ti they t, however, the sincerity in the eyes of the young man was sothing that he could not bear to deny. Cao Ming remarked, "I heard that you have raised quite a storm outside. Many people have co over to et you these days."

Shi Lang frowned and Cao Ming said, "They are not here to seek revenge, but they wish to have a genuine exchange with you. What do you have to say about this?"

The Terran shook his head and said, "I will be having an exchange with the people at the Seven Star Tournant, before that I will focus on consolidating my realm and comprehend more."

Cao Ming nodded and said, "Xiao Yao, you can relay these words to the people who are waiting and go take so rest."

Lady Yao bowed her head and replied, "I was not need to look after him, Master."

Cao Ming smiled and replied, "I know, however, you have co back from travel, it is good to rest."

Lady Yao looked at him and understood that Cao Ming wanted her to go back to the slaughter peak and contemplate the things she had seen outside the sect.

Lady Yao left and Cao Ming gestured for Shi Lang to play a ga of chess. The Terran did not refuse and the ga of go began. Cao Ming said, "I found out about what you said to Xiao San. To infiltrate the three houses and gather information."

Shi Lang held a black piece between his index finger and middle finger before he placed it on the board and asked, "Did we gain any results, Master?"

Cao Ming nodded and said, "The true disciples of the seven houses will be coming over for the Seven Star Tournant, they would make things difficult for the disciples of the two halls. We cannot avoid this situation."

Shi Lang shook his head as he played another piece, "Master, they are going to rely on underhanded ans. Those who do not care about the rules are not warriors and thus we don't have to give them the respect either."

Cao Ming shook his head and replied, "What you do must never be a reflection of who the person before you is. It should be about you and your heart. What are you, Xiao Lang? Are you a warrior? Are you an assassin?"

Shi Lang smiled faintly as he placed the black piece on the board, and replied, "I am a general who will lead the charge to raze the enemy to the ground, but also sneak in the enemy camp to deal with those who threat his brethren. Destroying the enemy is my only goal."

Cao Ming asked, "What if you beco what you want to destroy?"

Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "I will only reply them in kind, but never take initiative to deal with people using shallow ans. You know that I used to be a soldier in the lower realms, right, Master?"

Cao Ming nodded as he placed a white stone piece on the board, and Shi Lang replied as he said, "We have a saying there. Once a soldier, always a soldier. First cos the nation, second cos the unit, and if you still have a breath left, you can think about yourself.

I do not have a nation, but I have a sect now. If the people ca to harm my sect, I will slay them. If they co to harm my fellow disciples, I will kill them all the sa."

Cao Ming smiled and asked, "If a buddha stands in your way, preaching in the na of dharma and peace?"

Shi Lang replied, "Then he can truly leave the human world."

Cao Ming nodded slowly and asked, "What if a demon hunts you down?"

Shi Lang replied, "Then I will stew it and feed it to my friends."

Cao Ming was surprised and then he chuckled. He smiled and said, "Good, you surely do justice to the na you have earned in the sect."

Shi Lang was surprised and Cao Ming replied, "Soone found out that you have registered your hunter na as the Shura. Now they all call you Shura in secret."

Shi Lang smiled and shook his head as he replied, "I have been called a lot worse master, believe ."

Cao Ming chuckled and then suddenly his face turned solemn as he asked, "The Seven Star Tournant is two months later. Can you climb the Upper Dragon Ranking during that ti? Only the top ten Upper Dragons from both list can fight. I will not change the rules and hold back soone more talented than you just because you have great potential."

Shi Lang nodded and replied confidently, "I will try my best master. You do not have to change the rules or anything. In this world only strength is supre, and those who are strong should get their due."

Cao Ming nodded and said, "Good, you can go now. There is a courtyard open for you in the inner court."

Shi Lang placed the last piece on the board and bowed to the man before leaving the valley while humming a tune. The red bird perched on the big tree opened his eyes and asked, "Why do you keep testing him?"

Cao Ming smiled and replied while gazing at the hopping figure, "Because I want to see how much patience he has."

The bird shook his head and said, "I can never understand how you humans think."

Cao Ming did not reply but calmly turned to look at the chess board and just when he was about to place his piece on the board, he was surprised. Only after a few monts of hesitation could he place the piece but then he said, "This brat sure is clever, he hid the sword under the smile."

Shi Lang had been controlling the ga and although he could not defeat Cao Ming just yet, but he was skillful enough to make this ever strong person to think twice before his move. This hesitation was sothing that could cause the people to fall when they are engaged in battle.

...

Shi Lang ca to the gateway of the inner court, and the guardian disciples were Dao General Realm. They looked at Shi Lang and one of them said, "If you wish to enter the inner court please show your credentials and cultivation aura."

Shi Lang nodded and then he took out his warring disciple token as he released the Dao Lord pressure. His aura made the two people pale in complexion before he quickly pulled back the aura. The Terran asked, "Can I go in?"

The guards nodded and Shi Lang was about to go through the threshold when an arrogant voice sounded, "Just because you are the warring disciple does not an you can co inside the Inner Court whenever you want to."

Shi Lang raised his brow and he looked at the person as he asked, "Who might you be Senior?"

His tone did not have any humility. He was not arrogant but he was not servile either. The young man who stood before him said, "I am Du Tian."

Shi Lang smiled and asked, "Are you from the three houses?"

Du Tian smirked slightly and nodded. Shi Lang nodded and with a smile he asked, "If you like to stop , then I will challenge you to the life and death platform. Would you like to try?"

Du Tian froze, and so did the two guards. They did not expect that the warring disciple would be so ferocious. He threw a life and death challenge out even before he had taken a step in the inner court.

Another voice sounded, "Junior Brother Shi Lang, it is not wise to challenge soone to life and death as soon as you co to the inner court, is it?"

Shi Lang looked at the new cor and replied with the sa smile and tone, "I did not intend to fight as soon as I ca in, it was just Senior Du seed to have questioned the Dignity of my master. I cannot let that slide, can I?"

Everyone froze, they did not expect Shi Lang to drag the na of the Holy Elder in this matter. Shi Lang continued, "Master forbids from using his prestige, and I abide by that command. However, if soone is to stop from fulfilling his command, I am left with no choice, am I?"

The Shura had began the ga of chess as soon as he ca to the inner court and the disciples beca his pieces.
