~13 min read 2,436 words

Kong Que smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"Many thanks to you little one for informing us; we accept your good intentions. However, the final decision is still up to the Master."

Ma Xingkong hurriedly spoke up upon hearing this, "Then just let me go up; if I don't go up, how can I talk to him?"

"The Master is currently cultivating; wait a little longer."

"But this matter is very urgent and cannot afford to waste any time, otherwise, if those noble families return, everything will be finished."

Ma Xingkong explained anxiously.

However, Kong Que did not reply and stood quietly in place.

"Ma Xingkong, what are you doing?"

Ma Suxuan and the others walked over, and among them, Ma Qiushui shouted, her expression very unkind. This kid isn't staying home to cultivate properly, and he's starting to crowd over here again? Why didn't Grandpa stop him?

"Sister, why are you here?"

Ma Xingkong was startled upon hearing this, and after turning his head slightly, a look of astonishment appeared on his face. "Aunt, you were released. No, that's not right, Aunt, you didn't break out of prison, did you? Breaking out of prison is a major crime!"

"Thwack!"

Ma Suxuan vanished from where she stood, instantly arrived beside Ma Xingkong, and directly rewarded him with a flick to the forehead. "Xingkong, why are you just like your sister? Am I that kind of person, your aunt?"

She stood with one hand on her hip and said unkindly.

Ignoring Ma Xingkong's cry of pain, she turned to look at Kong Que, and after carefully sizing her up, she spoke suspiciously. "This young lady, do we know each other? I don't recall having a friend like you."

Kong Que's expression remained calm.

"You must be Ma Suxuan."

"We indeed do not know each other, but the Master knows you."

"However, at present, the Master is still in seclusion cultivating atop the Bell Tower, so please wait a moment."

Ma Suxuan looked up at the Bell Tower and frowned.

There really was a powerful aura up there.

Even though she employed her Innate Level perception, before it could reach the top of the Bell Tower, the perception was already distorted by this aura, making it impossible to detect who the person above was.

"Fine, we will wait."

While everyone was waiting, many Innate Level experts from the noble families arrived at the Prefecture Governor's Mansion together. Just as Ma Zonghua had expected, they wanted to pressure the Prefecture Governor's Mansion and then "invite" the Dharma Aspect expert within the Prefecture Governor's Mansion to come out.

"Do you bunch really want to make us play the villain?"

An Innate Level expert from within the Prefecture Governor's Mansion spoke softly.

"What is it, Feng Tianyang? It was agreed upon just now that we would invite your family's elder to take action. Now that we are at your doorstep, don't tell me you're going to renege on the deal? Rest assured, you will absolutely not be treated unfairly."

The Wang Family's Innate Level expert, Wang Huanian, crossed his arms and said coldly.

"Hmph, that doesn't mean you had to make such a big scene."

Feng Tianyang had previously witnessed Li Heng's arrogance among the crowd, and the other noble family Innate Level experts were also filled with righteous indignation, thinking of finding a Dharma Aspect Realm expert to sanction him.

However, for such a trivial matter, inviting their own expert would result in a scolding.

So, the two sides calculated and decided to share some benefits with Feng Tianyang, letting Feng Tianyang invite their family's elder. In any case, as the imperial court's force within Jinhua City, the Prefecture Governor's Mansion already had the right and obligation to deal with Li Heng, who was disrupting the order of Jinhua City.

What? You ask where Li Heng disrupted the order?

Does ringing the Jinhua Bell repeatedly not count?

Even if that is a bit far-fetched.

But as noble families, they could turn black into white and white into black. As for the so-called charges, they could think of them just by tapping their heads; who would dare to disagree?

"Alright, you all had better not go in."

"Lest you provoke my family's elder into being displeased."

Feng Tianyang let the many noble family Innate Level experts stay outside the Prefecture Governor's Mansion, stepped into the Prefecture Governor's Mansion alone, weaved through the large courtyard, and arrived at the depths of the courtyard, where a small house stood.

"Elder, Tianyang requests an audience."

Feng Tianyang stood outside the small house and asked respectfully.

A few seconds passed, and there was no response.

But Feng Tianyang knew that this matter was done, and immediately opened the door to the small house, stepped inside, and the light and shadows changed in an instant, changing the Heaven and Earth in the blink of an eye.

This was actually a Dongtian Sacred Land.

Looking around, clouds and mist swirled, and he was above a sea of clouds, able to see the mountain peak in front like a divine sword piercing the sky, breaking through the sea of clouds to become the highest point here, towering above the firmament.

Feng Chenyang felt his heart shake at the sight.

The elder's ability to open a Cave Heaven was becoming more and more powerful!

It seems that as long as he invites the elder to take action, he won't even need to show his true self; just by inviting a Dharma Decree, that arrogant kid will be scared into shivering and unable to stand straight.

To express his respect, he did not fly.

Instead, he walked step by step along the staircase of the sea of clouds to reach this highest peak. At this extreme height stood a group of magnificent Gong Dian, faintly emitting five-colored light, and in front of the Gong Dian, an old man stood, gazing into the distance at this endless sea of clouds.

"Little Yang, what leisure time do you have to come see me?"

The old man turned around and looked at the respectfully bowing Feng Tianyang.

Feng Tianyang did not waste words, told him his purpose, and at the same time added oil and vinegar, playing up Li Heng's strength and hatefulness, saying that if he were not killed, it would not be enough to appease the public anger.

"Hehe, I know your intentions."

The old man listened to these words and shook his head with a smile.

"However, I advise you not to waste your energy on these matters. Heaven and Earth are about to undergo a great change, and even we cannot see where the path ahead lies. Rather than obsessing over these things, you might as well cultivate properly."

"The elder is right; Tianyang will keep it in mind."

Feng Tianyang replied respectfully upon hearing this.

"You little brat, using these polite words to fob me off again. Forget it, forget it. Since you are my descendant and have a request of me, I will naturally take action to help. By the way, I am also quite curious as to which heaven-sent genius could actually defeat that kid Xuan Dao."

"And to actually be able to make that broken bell acknowledge a master, interesting."

The old man shook his head and extended a finger.

Boundless Heaven and Earth Origin Qi surged, transforming into a blank Dharma Decree.

Immediately, he drew a large character in the Void; the surrounding Heaven and Earth Principles shifted, weaving and condensing into shape, imprinting onto the Dharma Decree and making it shine brilliantly. Finally, the Dharma Decree shrank and floated into the hands of Feng Tianyang.

"Alright, take it."

"However, on this trip, use kind words to advise him first. If he refuses to listen, reveal the Dharma Decree. Even if he still does not back down, the Dharma Decree will naturally evolve a profound power to suppress him."

Upon hearing this, Feng Tianyang was overjoyed, "Many thanks for the old master's grace!"

"You, it is best not to entangle yourself too much with the noble families."

"They are not kind folk."

The old man then waved his large hand, and Feng Tianyang felt as if it were only the blink of an eye before his entire person had arrived outside the small house, returning to the Present World, holding that scroll of the Dharma Decree in his hands.

Within the Cave Heaven, the old man frowned as he looked toward the distant sea of clouds.

The sea of clouds was gradually collapsing toward his side.

And as the creator of this Cave Heaven, he was powerless to stop it.

"Indeed, it is just as His Majesty expected..."

The old man sighed softly, his words filled with endless desolation.

Jinhua City, atop the Bell Tower.

The young Daoist Qingfeng looked pale; the Luck Anomaly was faintly disappearing, becoming ethereal and illusory, as he could no longer hold on. After all, he had not even reached the Innate realm and could not withstand Li Heng "shearing the sheep" like this.

"Stop now," Li Heng said.

Hearing this, Qingfeng let out a sigh of relief, and the anomaly vanished instantly.

Li Heng nodded slightly; the effect far exceeded his expectations. As a layman who had never comprehended Heaven and Earth Principles, after being bolstered by Qingfeng, he had directly entered the threshold.

He already had a certain understanding of these principles and rules.

He sensed slightly the consumption required to improve his rule comprehension on the Data Panel; it had already dropped from ten times the Qi and Blood consumption to eight times—it could be said his progress was rapid.

If things continued like this.

I am afraid he would not even need to upgrade and add points; relying on the "Qingfeng-brand accelerator," his comprehension of Heaven and Earth Principles could reach Standard Innate. It was just a pity that the Qingfeng accelerator was not durable.

Li Heng looked at the young Daoist Qingfeng, his gaze deep.

Qingfeng was very afraid when he saw Li Heng's eyes and trembled. He still did not understand why his master had left him behind. Master, please come back quickly! he thought, his heart filled with a sob.

"Little Mage Qingfeng, you must continue to work hard in the future."

"You are not young anymore, yet you cannot even manifest an anomaly for twelve hours a day. It seems your master still spoils you too much. How about this: you undergo devilish training with me to break through your limits?"

The "capitalist" Li Heng said with a mischievous sense of humor.

At this moment.

It scared Qingfeng so much that he dared not speak, hiding in a corner.

Seeing this, Li Heng chuckled and shook his head.

Forget it, better to attend to the business at hand first.

His thoughts stirred slightly, and he sent a message to Kong Que.

Below the Bell Tower, Li Heng's words rang out in Kong Que's mind.

She smiled and looked at Ma Suxuan and the others.

"Everyone, the Master's cultivation is complete."

Kong Que made a gesture, signaling for everyone to come up. At the same time, her figure drifted, flying straight up to the Bell Tower to return to Li Heng's side. The others followed closely behind and arrived on the Bell Tower.

At this time, Ma Suxuan and Meng Lingyun were filled with curiosity.

After all, they truly did not know which friend could be so powerful as to defeat the Xuan Dao, who was a Grand Innate, intimidate numerous noble family Innates, and make the wild claim of rescuing them.

Was this really a friend they could have?

They were completely not in the same world, not on the same level, right?

When they looked closely, the two were instantly stunned.

"Old master, Aunt Xuan, it has been a long time."

Li Heng looked at the two and smiled.

"It's actually you, kid!?"

Meng Lingyun's expression was blank, and he murmured, unable to believe it at all. In his impression, no matter how mysterious or talented Li Heng was, he should not have been able to accomplish such a thing.

Ma Suxuan's expression was complex.

She had thought of many possibilities, but she never expected that their friend, the powerhouse who intimidated numerous noble family Innates, was actually the junior she thought highly of, Li Heng?

Who exactly is the junior here?

"Is it very surprising? I have just made a small amount of progress."

Li Heng raised one hand, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Qi condensed, instantly forming a set of table and chairs, "Come, sit."

Meng Lingyun was the first to be unceremonious, sitting on the Origin Qi chair, "You kid really gave me a big surprise. It seems you advanced to Innate long ago, even earlier than me." He felt a bit depressed.

Even after advancing to Innate, his status had not changed.

Ma Suxuan did not need him to save her either.

Damn it, didn't he advance for nothing?

"It seems that the Great Sun powerhouse in Bei'an City back then was you, right?"

Ma Suxuan said softly.

"It could be, or it could not be."

Li Heng answered with a smile.

Having received confirmation, Ma Suxuan felt a sense of relief in her heart instead.

All sorts of questions finally made sense.

Ma Xingkong, Ma Qiushui, Xuan Dao, and the others beside them were not so surprised, but rather felt puzzled.

They vaguely sensed something.

The relationship between Li Heng, Meng Lingyun, and Ma Suxuan did not seem as simple as old friends; otherwise, it would absolutely not have caused such great emotional fluctuations in the two of them, to the point of making them doubt their own lives.

However, at this moment, Ma Xingkong finally recovered from his confusion and spoke anxiously, urging Li Heng and the other to prioritize fleeing.

"You can chat later, run quickly."

"If this continues, that group of aristocratic family Second Heaven experts will return! They will likely invite out a powerful expert of the Dharma Aspect Realm!"

The young boy still felt that under the retaliation of so many aristocratic family Second Heaven experts, it would be difficult for Li Heng and the other to have a chance at survival.

"You little fellow, I appreciate your intentions." Li Heng chuckled, looking at Ma Xingkong, then looking toward the direction of the Ma Family residence.

"But it is too late to run now. Look, haven't they already returned aggressively?"

Li Heng pointed behind them.

A group of aristocratic family Second Heaven experts were flying rapidly toward their side.
