Wang Ling had just exited from his cultivation when he received an urgent message regarding Wang Hong being injured. Usually he won't react much if someone gets injured but because Wang Hong was his brother, he became worried.

At this moment, he exited from his room and immediately called for Qigang to tell him what he know.

"The Second Young Master was gravely injured and he had suffered severe internal injuries. However, because the Second Young Master had broken through the bounds of being an ordinary mortal and ascended to Sainthood whilst being in the middle of his journey. The Second Young Master's condition is not so bad.

"However, his foundation was rattled and shook. If not for the protectors by his side protecting him at the last moment, the Second Young Master's cultivation would have been crippled by his pursuers."

Qigang explained. However, Wan Ling was unsatisfied with his explanation. There were still questions in his mind so he asked.

"What do you mean by pursuers? Is there a reason why Wang Hong was is being pursued?"

Wang Ling questioned Qigang. Wang Ling wanted to know what was going on so he will be able to act upon the situation appropriately. If the people who dared touch his family can be dealt by him alone then he will deal with it himself.

[Wang Hong had already broken through the first boundary realm and entered sainthood already. The pursuers he had must either be stronger than or there were an overwhelming number of pursuers.

If they are stronger than me I can't resort to head on battle. But if I know who they are, I can prepare something that can deal with them in the future.]

Wang Ling was sinisterly thinking of methods on how he should deal with the enemies Wang Hong was being pursued by. He was not only thinking about his younger brother but also for his own sake.

These enemy he does not of dared touch Wang Hong. If that is the case then there's a high chance that they will move against him too. If that is to happen and he is unprepared, he will suffer without a doubt.

"The pursuers where people from the central regions."

"Central regions?"

"That is correct. The Second Young Master accepted a mission from his academy regarding a tomb that appeared on the Black Beast Mountain. However, another academy also came to the tomb to investigate and it was these people who attacked the Second Young Master."

Wang Ling was put in a thought. If his guess was correct, then that tomb should belong to someone powerful. If that is the case and some kind of powerful heritage is found inside that tomb. Then there's a good chance

[A tomb, huh. I now know what is happening.]

He thought as he continued walking.

"Where is Wang Hong? Did you confirm where he is? If your people managed to receive news from Wang Hong means that you have some kind of communication method correct?"


Qigang shook his head.

"No, there are no such thing. We only received a letter coming from the Shadow assigned to look after the Second Young Master, it was sent by a Silver Emperor Swallow so it arrived faster than them."

"From what you are saying do you mean that Wang Hong and other's will arrive soon?"

"That is correct."

Wang Ling nodded his head and head on to meet his father. Soon enough, Wang Ling reached the garden where Wang Shu Qing frequented. Wang Shu Qing was there sitting beneath the canopy.

Wang Shu Qing noticed Wang Ling's approaching figure and smiled. This son of his was someone who puts cultivation as his main priority and rarely comes out of his room to socialize. But it seems like after receiving the news about Wang Hong, he quickly ended his cultivation and went to find him.

"Father, what happened to Wang Hong?"

Wang Shu Qing looked at Wang Ling and showed him a smile as if trying to make him feel at ease.

"He was attacked, but don't worry, his life is in no immediate danger. But he had suffered quite a bit…" while he was speaking Wang Ling felt the air around his father became heavier, the earlier carefree visage his was slowly transforming to that of 'deva'.

He sighed as he knew that this father of his was someone who would go to such lengths as destroying a cult to get revenge.

By following this idea, if Wang Shu Qing had already received the news about Wang Hong, shouldn't he be going berserk with anger? Why was he so quiet today? Wang Ling had some idea why this was the case.

[The student who attacked Wang Hong should be someone from another power that rivals or surpasses ours (the Wang family).

If not, why would father hesitate and kill someone who attacks his son.]

Wang Ling had a fine grasp of Wang Shu Qing's temperament and actions. A month of interaction was enough for him to see through most people, especially when have their guard against them.

The only thing missing on his assessment in regards to Wang Shu Qing was the actual prowess he possesses. What cultivation stage he is in and how great he is at fighting.

As for the cultivation method Wang Shu Qing was using, Wang Ling was already aware. He had been informed that the technique Wang Shu Qing and Wang Hong cultivates a [Celestial] level cultivation technique.

Just like martial techniques, cultivation techniques also have different levels. Starting from the bottom they were: [Foundational], [Saint], and [Celestial].

The levels were simplistic as these levels foretells its limitation. For example, foundational-level cultivation technique can reach all the way to energy palace stage, but breaking through that realm will become a hurdle.

Consequently, celestial-level technique is also the same. The only difference is that celestial-level technique can bring ones cultivation to the limits of the Celestial Spirit Realm. In concern to Wang Ling's Overturning Nine Heavens Art, he was still unsure what level it belongs to.

Wang Ling looked at Wang Shu Qing before making proper conjectures in his mind. It took him a couple of seconds before managing to create his next move.

[I could use this incident.]

Wang Ling thought as he turned to look at Wang Shu Qing and said.

"Father, do you know where Wang Hong is? Qigang said that they should be coming to the empire any minute now so do you think they will pass through the western gates?"

He asked innocently.

"No, they should be arriving in the Southern Gate. They are coming from the Azure Skies Kingdom. Why?"

"I'm going to meet them there. I'm feeling uneasy as to what is Wang Hong's condition. I wish to check up on him as fast as possible." Wang Ling said as a look of concern surfaced on his face.

"…that would be for the best." Wang Shu Qing also wanted to come but he feared that if see Wang Hong's pitiful state, he might blow up and suddenly lose his rationality. He has a family now so he can't have himself acting like an impulsive child.

Wang Ling nodded his head and said his goodbyes to Wang Shu Qing. He left the mansion together with Qigang and the two of them walked towards the southern gates.

As the two of them were walking, they passed by a restaurant that has a sign that says: "Best wine of the empire is found here, try out [Drunk Tiger Wine]".

Wang Ling glanced at that place for a while and started contemplating. Before long he quickly went over to the restaurant and bought five jugs of wine. He had to pay with spirit stones as it was the currency in this place.

The currency of kingdoms were gold and platinum, but the currency of empires and so forth were spirit stones. People who travels to an empire is mostly cultivator seeking to find a broader horizon so it was natural for them to carry around cultivation resources such as spirit stone rather than useless gold.

Just now, Wang Ling spent five spirit stone for a jug of wine. He spent a total of twenty-five spirit stones overall. Although he has the habit of treating cultivation related resources with him like spirit stones with great care. Wang Ling was willing to part with some of them if it can get him some good wine.

Wang Ling went out of the restaurant and continued walking on the way. As he and Qigang continued on their way towards the southern gates, Wang Ling passed Qigang a jug of wine.

Qigang wanted to refuse but Wang Ling pressure him to taking the jug so he had no choice but to accept. The family members of the Wang family was treated like kings and emperors of the Shadow Pavilion, if Qigang is ordered to drink a ton worth of wine, Qigang would hesitate but he will still comply.

As the two of them savored the taste of the wine, Qigang showed some good expressions he usually does not show. This person beside Wang Ling usually carried a cold visage but because of the wine, his face is now somewhat mellow.

As they walked, Wang Ling started a conversation.

"Qigang, do you know the names of people who attacked Wang Hong?"

"No I do not, the letter does not speak of anyone's identity. But the letter they sent mentioned that they are traveling with someone. I believe you will be able to get information from that person."

Wang Ling raised his brows with an 'oh' before continuing his walk. The two of them soon reached the southern gates. With Wang Ling's ordinary white scholarly robes he didn't attract much attention. But his handsome visage did garner some squeals from the passing ladies.

Paying them no heed, Wang Ling was put into a deep thought. His eyes reflected a deep dark color. He was standing right before the gates of the Piercing Heaven Empire so many people saw him as they entered and leave.

At first they would look at Wang Ling and Qigang with ridiculing gazes as they mock the two 'idiots' who stood there with a daze. However, once their eyes swept pass Wang Ling's eyes, they couldn't help it but shudder inside their hearts.

The mysterious feeling made the passerby feel extremely uncomfortable. Qigang was still drinking his jug of wine just beside Wang Ling. He was quite affected by the wine but when he saw the mysterious look on Wang Ling's eyes, he immediately regained consciousness… and then drank the wine once more.

Wang Ling at this moment finally snapped out of his deep contemplation. He turned to look at himself and then towards the heavens. He remembered what he had spoken back when he first gained consciousness.

As if he had made a decision, Wang Ling closed his eyes as he said to himself.

[Those bastards who touched my family… I will make them suffer.]

*

The sun began to set, and the golden sky appeared. Wang Ling continued drinking wine together with Qigang as the two of them waited patiently.

Soon, four figures could be seen entering the southern gates. Three men clad in all black and a beautiful woman who was garbed with a long blue robe. One of the three men carried an injure man on his back.

Wang Lin was jolted from his lazy disposition as he stood with dignity. The men who were clad in black saw Qigang and Wang Ling, they walked towards him and said.
