These five disciples are outer sect disciples of the Heaven-Piercing Palace in Celestial Realms City.
Their cultivation level is not high, only at the Soul Ascension Stage.
None of them are descendants of the Nine Clans, but they are local disciples born and raised in Celestial Realms City.
From small families, they still have so connections with the Nine Clans.
Among them, there is a young man nad Sun Lang, whose maternal family is the Jiang Family of Celestial Realms City, making him sowhat related to Long Fei.
From their conversation, Long Fei learned a bit about the current situation in Celestial Realms City.
The struggle is quite intense, no less than in the Great Xia Country.
This Heaven-Piercing Palace is not like a traditional cultivation sect.
In this world, the Heaven-Piercing Palace more closely resembles an amalgamation of secular forces and cultivators’ power.
It is not only a cultivation sect but also a vast empire.
The cities below are similarly managed by the cultivation sect, spreading out like branches.
They are also an extension of secular royal power.
The group talked until late at night, and their trust in Long Fei grew a bit more.
Long Fei instructed everyone to be ready; as soon as their elder arrives tomorrow, they will head out imdiately.
After they parted, Long Fei returned alone to the small courtyard.
Su Yiyi and Little Nannan were already asleep, while Bai Fengling was still pacing around the room.
When Long Fei entered, she joyfully jumped over and hugged him.
Today, the City Lord ca with murderous intent, and she thought Long Fei was dood, so she was trying to figure out with her sister how to save him.
Her sister always told her Long Fei was a fox in sheep’s clothing, seemingly harmless but full of cunning plans.
She didn’t believe it at first, but after seeing Long Fei return, she started to believe a little.
They sat on the bed, and Bai Fengling hurriedly held Long Fei’s hand and asked, "Why did the City Lord let you go? Didn’t he trouble you further?"
Long Fei chuckled lightly, "I didn’t do anything, he couldn’t find evidence, so naturally, he had to let go."
Bai Fengling wiped the sweat off her forehead with lingering fear, "That’s good, as long as you’re alright. Let’s leave here tomorrow, okay? My sister has already planned to set off for Celestial Realms City; this place is too dangerous, who knows what upheaval might occur."
Long Fei asked her, "Is your entire Bai Family leaving, or just your sister?"
Bai Fengling replied, "Of course, only my sister. The Bai Family is large and established here. Where else would they go?"
Long Fei patted her head and said, "You and your sister should leave first. There are so unresolved matters here I need to take care of."
Bai Fengling asked anxiously, "Take care of what? You’re neither the Clan Leader nor the City Lord; why worry about so much?"
"You don’t understand now, but you will in the future."
Long Fei smiled, caressing her face, then lay down, telling her to sleep early.
Bai Fengling lay in his arms, pursing her lips, her small face filled with determination, "Anyway, if you don’t leave, then I won’t leave either. Wherever you are, I will be there too, even if it ans dying with you, I’m willing."
Long Fei felt a heaviness in his heart, realizing he had beco too involved as an undercover agent.
Indeed, the debts of this world are hardest to repay when it cos to affairs of the heart.
With Bai Fengling cuddled in his arms, the girl was exhausted from the day’s troubles, and soon enough, she dozed off.
Long Fei extinguished the Light Gathering Stone, and she soon fell asleep.
The night at the Jiang Family was very quiet, but outside in the city, it was noisy.
A group of people was carrying large and small bags, taking their families to escape.
City Lord Ye Qingtian surprisingly did not stop them, allowing others to open the domain gates and let them leave.
Everyone knew that Celestial Mystery City was in big trouble.
The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals of Celestial Realms City were coming over, and no one knew how they would punish this place.
To be safe, many families let their disciples with lower cultivation levels leave as well.
After a night of chaos, the next morning, the city felt unusually silent, like a ghost town.
Bai Fengwu from the Bai Family ca by early.
She planned to take Bai Fengling with her, as the Bai Family had long since decided on sending Bai Fengwu to Heaven-Piercing Palace for further training.
Bai Fengling secured a spot for herself, and other young talents from other families were going with them.
Within Celestial Mystery City, they competed fiercely with each other.
But when outside, everyone shared the camaraderie of compatriots. Bai Fengwu noticeably felt a lot closer in their conversations.
Upon learning that Long Fei was staying behind, she wasn’t surprised.
She had too much curiosity about this future brother-in-law.
Always feeling that this guy is unfathomable, not as simple as he seems on the surface.
Bai Fengling fiddled with her fingers, telling her, "Sister, Senior Brother Hengyuan isn’t leaving, so I won’t leave either."
"No way!"
Bai Fengwu and Long Fei almost spoke simultaneously, leaving Bai Fengling bewildered as she glanced back and forth between them.
Bai Fengwu persuaded her, "Young Master Jiang has his reasons for staying, and I believe he can handle it. But you’re different; you’ll just be a burden to him here. Co with , and you’ll et him again in the future."
Long Fei nodded, "The elder sister-in-law is absolutely right, I was just about to say that."
He also advised Bai Fengling, "Fengling, you go to Celestial Realms City first, I will follow as soon as I resolve matters here. I promise you, we will definitely et again."
Bai Fengling clutched his arm tightly, unwilling to part.
Bai Fengwu shook her head, silently lanting that her sister was thoroughly caught up.
What if this guy changes in the future, how will her sister cope?
Long Fei raised his hand, touching the center of their foreheads, imparting to the sisters the Bai Family’s Secret Technique, the Fighting Character Technique, and the Jiang Family’s Secret Technique, the Jie Character Tactic.
How much they could comprehend would be their own fortune.
Bai Fengwu frowned, staring at Long Fei in disbelief.
She was well-versed in the Bai Family’s Secret Technique, yet what she comprehended was not even one percent of what Long Fei had given her.
Long Fei smiled and said, "Back then, when you gave the Bai Family’s Secret Technique, I am now returning you the Jiang Family’s Secret Technique. Different families have different bloodlines, thus talents to comprehend these secret techniques may also differ. How much you can understand, that much it is. At least it will give you ans to protect yourselves in the future."
Back then, each of the Nine Clans acquired a secret technique and regarded them as treasures, never transmitting them outside.
Any that were spread were rely superficial insights.
The secret techniques comprehended later were all top secrets.
The Bai Family’s Secret Technique that Long Fei obtained was no more than the most basic original insight.
Ordinary people couldn’t decipher it or comprehend so much.
Even though soone as talented as Bai Fengwu hadn’t reached deeper understanding without advanced guidance, she remained a re novice over the years.
She hadn’t expected that Long Fei, relying only on this basic thod, could gain entry, which was quite astonishing to her.
What he wanted to give wasn’t just these alone.
Long Fei took out a Storage Ring, handing it to Bai Fengwu, "Elder Sister-in-law, a fruitful journey requires wealth. Outside, there are many places where money is needed. Inside this Storage Ring, there are ten million Spirit Stones; you should use them. When I get there, if you need more, I will provide again."
"Ten million?"
Even Bai Fengwu’s fingers couldn’t resist twitching slightly at this.
The Bai Family might have so influence, but not all of it belonged to her father.
The allowance she and her sister received each month was rely a thousand Spirit Stones.
She was sowhat special, receiving a bit more from the family ordinarily.
Including her father’s support, there were only hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones saved in her Storage Ring.
Now this future brother-in-law handed over ten million so casually, it truly astonished her!
