Chapter 218: Arrival at Tianmen

After Duan Fengyun and the other two returned to Longmen, they immediately summoned Wen Chou Chou to the Yishitang.

Wen Chou Chou, who had been busy drilling the disciples, received an order from a servant saying that Duan Fengyun had returned and was waiting for him at the Yishitang, so he hurried toward the Yishitang in a flurry.

Seeing Duan Fengyun and the other two, Wen Chou Chou, who knew well the inseparable nature of the four-man group, asked suspiciously:

"Leader Duan, Hall Master Yun, Hall Master Feng, why is Hall Master Shuang not here?"

Duan Fengyun replied:

"Hall Master Shuang and Long Er have both been captured by Di Shitian. In a while, we will go to Tianmen to help Di Shitian do something.

In the meantime, they will not be in any danger."

Wen Chou Chou said in shock:

"Hall Master Shuang and the others have been captured!"

Duan Fengyun nodded, signaling for Wen Chou Chou not to say too much.

"Chouchou, I had you come today to give you instructions regarding the time we three are away."

Wen Chou Chou nodded and sat silently to the side, waiting for Duan Fengyun's instructions.

Duan Fengyun arranged:

"During this period, all disciples of Longmen are to conserve their strength within the sect, and any disciples not currently in the sect are to be recalled.

After we leave, Longmen is to close its Mountain Gate; until we return, no one is allowed to open the Mountain Gate, nor is anyone allowed to enter Longmen."

Wen Chou Chou said in disbelief:

"Leader, are you planning to close the Mountain Gate?"

Duan Fengyun nodded:

"After we leave, Longmen will have no top-tier combat power, and the fact that we are not at Longmen must be kept strictly confidential.

If those with ill intent find out, Longmen will surely be attacked.

During the time we are away, you must look after Longmen well, Chouchou.

If you truly encounter a powerful enemy, go to Zhonghua Lou and ask Jian Chen for help."

Wen Chou Chou nodded, indicating there was no problem.

After Wen Chou Chou left, the three martial brothers sat in the Yishitang and discussed the dragon slaying three months later.

Bu Jingyun said:

"Junior Brother Duan, are we really going to help Di Shitian slay the dragon?

Once the dragon is slain, if we fail to obtain the Dragon Essence and let Di Shitian swallow it, then everything under heaven will be finished."

Regarding this dragon slaying, Bu Jingyun still lacked full confidence; it was mainly because Di Shitian's cultivation was too terrifying, making him feel waves of powerlessness.

And Nie Feng harbored the same concerns.

Seeing the two so worried, Duan Fengyun counseled them:

"Brother Yun, Brother Feng, I know you are worried about what we will do if the dragon is slain and Di Shitian consumes the Dragon Essence.

But I believe that a divine object like the Dragon Essence cannot be consumed immediately after the dragon is slain.

I don't think the Dragon Essence can be swallowed by anyone without a period of time passing.

Xu Fu's Phoenix Blood was only swallowed by him after undergoing eighty-one days of refinement.

So you must believe that we will definitely have a chance to snatch the Dragon Essence from Di Shitian's hands."

After this counseling from Duan Fengyun, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun finally gained confidence.

If the two of them still lacked confidence after hearing this, Duan Fengyun estimated he would have to tell them the news that Xu Fu was Di Shitian.

With the Phoenix Blood in Xu Fu's body, it was absolutely impossible for him to consume the Dragon Essence, and besides, the Dragon Essence would be split into seven parts, giving everyone a share.

In the following two months, Longmen seemed to have vanished from the Jianghu; all Longmen disciples active in the Jianghu disappeared overnight.

Those with ill intent who wanted to take advantage of any changes in Longmen never appeared in the Jianghu again after going to Longmen.

Rumors were now flying in the Jianghu, saying that Duan Fengyun and the others had been severely injured and were recuperating in Longmen.

But a starving camel is still bigger than a horse, and no one dared to test how much energy these four Martial Arts Myths still had.

As for Tianmen, Di Shitian was personally supervising the workers as they worked overtime to build ships.

The waters leading to Shen Long Dao were bound to be extremely dangerous, and to avoid wasting too much time and energy at sea, Di Shitian wanted to build the ships sturdy enough.

After Long Er and Qin Shuang were brought to Tianmen, they were locked up with Wuming.

Wuming, a Martial Arts Myth, had his cultivation crippled by Di Shitian, yet he unexpectedly used the devouring function of the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin to quietly devour the cultivation of quite a few Tianmen disciples.

After devouring the cultivation of many Tianmen disciples, Wuming's cultivation had already recovered to his original realm.

It was only because his Meridians had been shattered by Di Shitian that his movements were extremely restricted, so Di Shitian did not cripple his cultivation again when he discovered he had recovered.

Now that Long Er and Qin Shuang had arrived, the two of them would help Wuming walk around the room every day.

With his extraordinary constitution, Wuming was able to move freely within just two months.

However, Wuming still needed some time to recover his original skills.

Long Er sat on a stool and said:

"Uncle Shuang, Grandpa Wuming, I am so bored.

I miss Dad, Uncle Feng, and Uncle Yun so much.

I don't know how long it will be before they come to save us."

Qin Shuang comforted him:

"Your dad, Uncle Feng, and Uncle Yun must miss you very much too.

It is no small matter for them to save us; the defenses inside Tianmen are strict, so they must plan carefully.

But I believe they will come to save us and get us out very soon."

Qin Shuang was not as calm inside as he appeared; he knew that Di Shitian had captured him and Long Er but had not done anything to them, which meant Di Shitian must be using them as leverage to threaten Duan Fengyun and the others.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed, and the time agreed upon by the three and Di Shitian had arrived.

Before departing, Duan Fengyun called Wen Chou Chou over and instructed him:

"Wen Chou Chou, we should be gone for at least twenty days or so. During the time we are away, you must follow my orders; no disciple is allowed to leave Dragon Gate."

"Additionally, arrange for a disciple who is quick on their feet and witty to come to the Yishitang."

After Wen Chou Chou left, a disciple soon walked into the Yishitang.

Duan Fengyun looked the person over; they indeed looked quite witty.

Duan Fengyun said:

"After you disguise yourself in a moment, leave quietly from the Mountain Gate and go to Zhonghua Lou to find the hero Jian Chen."

"Tell him that the matter I spoke to him about before can be prepared for now."

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

After giving instructions on matters within the sect and having someone send the message to Jian Chen, the three simply packed their luggage and rode their horses toward Heaven Gate.

After the three arrived at Heaven Gate, travel-worn and weary, they were stopped by the guards in front of Heaven Gate.

"Who are you? Without the order of Shenmu, no one is allowed to enter Heaven Gate."

As the three had been summoned by Di Shitian to help, they did not care about the Heaven Gate guards at all.

Bu Jingyun grabbed one of the guard disciples by the throat with one hand and said:

"Go tell your master that the people he invited have arrived, and tell him to come out and welcome us quickly."

"As expected of the Martial Arts Myth, you truly keep your word."

"It is just that, Bu Jingyun, what kind of skill is it to bully small fry?"

Shenmu's voice rang out in their ears.

Upon hearing that the person in charge had arrived, Bu Jingyun directly let go of his hand and said:

"Running dogs and scum deserve to be executed by everyone."

Shenmu did not argue with Bu Jingyun, but instead said indifferently:

"Di Shitian knows you have arrived and is waiting for you inside."

This was the first time the three had walked into Heaven Gate with such swagger. Arriving at the Huiting of Heaven Gate, Di Shitian sat on a high platform, looked at the three, and said:

"Duan Fengyun, Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, you are indeed trustworthy."

"Since you have come, it means you also know what this seat wants you to do."

"That's right, in half a month, this seat is going to slaughter that beast, the Divine Dragon, and let it help this seat become immortal."

"This seat has waited for this opportunity for a full six hundred years; this seat will not allow any mistakes to happen."

"At that time, this seat will take Shenmu, Huaimie, Huaikong, Huang Ying, and you three to Shen Long Dao together."

"This seat believes that with the seven divine weapons of you six, plus this seat's cultivation, we will certainly be able to slaughter that beast."

"You must give it your all, or if this seat discovers otherwise, this seat will have no choice but to send Qin Shuang and the other two to the underworld to wait for you first."

Duan Fengyun thought to himself that this was bad.

Godly Calculation and the Godly Official would not be going to Shen Long Dao with them. When Jian Chen came to Heaven Gate, with those two there, trying to rescue Wuming and the others would certainly be fraught with danger.

He had to find a way to notify Jian Chen.

Bu Jingyun shouted:

"Di Shitian, since we have agreed to act, we will not hold back."

"If you dare to harm Shuang and the others, even if I die, I will drag your Heaven Gate down with me."

Di Shitian laughed:

"Bu Jingyun, since you care so much about Qin Shuang and the others, this seat will grant your wish and let you see them."

"This seat gives you five days; five days later, we set off for Shen Long Dao!"

"If you do not do your best, this meeting will be your last."

After Di Shitian gave his orders, Shenmu led the three to the room where Qin Shuang and the others were being held.

Shenmu pointed at the room and said:

"They are inside; go in and cherish these five days well."

"Who knows, this might be the last time you see each other."

Duan Fengyun glared at Shenmu. In the original story, he hadn't noticed any issues with Shenmu, but the one in front of him was truly too annoying; he couldn't help but want to finish her off on the spot.

They did not waste any more words with Shenmu and stepped into the room.

Long Er, who had been practicing moves in the room, saw Duan Fengyun and the others and shouted and danced with joy:

"Dad, Uncle Feng, Uncle Yun, is it really you?"

"Am I dreaming?"

Long Er pinched his thigh hard, and after feeling the pain, he stepped forward and hugged Duan Fengyun, saying:

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much."

"I'm not dreaming, it's really you."

"Dad, Uncle Feng, Uncle Yun, I missed you all so much."

"This damn Heaven Gate locked us in this room and won't let us out; I was about to die of boredom."

"Dad, Uncle Feng, Uncle Yun, were you also caught here by that ice-faced man?"

Qin Shuang and Wuming also stared at the three, wanting to know how they had gotten in.
