C2 Chapter 2

The "ivory tower" was definitely one of the most glorious and dazzling buildings in Nanjing. It was as elegant as a jade atop the clouds.

The tower, however, was empty, empty as a barrel of real ivory.

Its emptiness, manifested in a great tower, was inhabited only by one person. This person actually had tens of thousands of subordinates, but other than the fact that he personally summoned his subordinates to report to them on important matters, normally no one would dare to take even half a step through the door.

At this moment, he was silently opening a secret letter in the pavilion on the top floor of the tower.

The letter was very concise: Xiao Shuihan is dead, Lin Fei is missing, Ye Xiao Wan's address is unknown.

His gaze was fixed on the letter for a long time. Two streams of tears slowly flowed down his face, wetting the letter paper. Then he slowly wiped away his tears and sat down on the tiger leather chair and looked out the window in silence.

Suddenly, he clapped his hands and two people walked up the stairs. One was a middle-aged scholar with a long beard and a white robe, and the other was a young man in black with a cold face. The two of them were as domineering as two wolves, and the moment they saw each other, they knew that they were the top experts in the martial arts world.

The man in the tiger chair watched them approach, a meaningful look in his eyes. He leisurely said, "I didn't expect that with the 'Heaven Mountain's Twin Strange' guards by my side, there would still be people who would take the opportunity to enter …"

It turned out that the white-robed scholar and the black-clothed youth were the famous "Heavenly Mountain Twin Wonders" in the martial arts world. Legend has it that the martial arts of these two people are so high that they have already reached an unimaginable realm. Back then, the Three Freaks of Xiao Shan ran amok in Saibei and for a time no one dared to confront them. However, they were killed in one night by the two wonders of Tianshan. When this matter was spread throughout the martial arts world, no one could not be shocked. No one could not accept it, and the name "Heaven Mountain's Twin Wonders" became famous throughout the world after that battle. Now, the person sitting on the tiger skin chair actually said something like that in front of them. It really made the two of them feel astonished and at a loss of what to do.

Just as that person finished speaking, a long laugh came from the beam above his head.

In the midst of the laughter, a young man in a white robe walked out from the air above the tower. The moment he appeared, a cold aura akin to the edge of a blade was sent towards the other three people in the tower! He gives you the feeling of a sharp, unsheathed knife!

Under the surprised gaze of the "Heavenly Mountain's Two Wonders", the young man in white unexpectedly jumped down from midair step by step, as if he was dancing with joy. He walked through the air step by step, as if he was walking on an invisible flight of stairs.

"Where did this madman come from?!" The black-clothed youth of the Tianshan Two Wonders shot out like a sharp arrow with a 'whoosh'. His palms were like sabers as they pierced straight towards the white-robed youth's heart!

At this moment, the young man in the white shirt calmly stretched out his right middle finger.

With a stretch of his middle finger, a sharp whistling sound like a golden blade tearing through the air came piercing over! — His middle finger seemed to have transformed into a sharp sword!

The youth in black was shocked. He felt that his attack had been completely blocked off by the Sky Breaking Finger – he hurriedly flipped and fell back!

And at this time, the white-clothed youth was less than two feet away from the floor! With a flash of white shadow, the white robed scholar from the "Heavenly Mountain Twin Strange" also came at him. He stretched out his long sleeves and crossed them between the white robed youth's ribs like a pair of scissors.

However, in this moment, there were eight completely different types of inner force that were moving around in his sleeves. Some were Yin, some were Yang, some were positive, some were positive, some were soft, some were false, and some were real; they were unstoppable!

However, the white-clothed youth faintly smiled as his body spun around and around, bringing along the wind and thunder, with a bang, his energy overflowed like a white cloud, instantly purifying the eight types of inner strength that his opponent had released along with his sleeves!

Seeing this, the white-robed scholar could not help but be stunned — this was the first time someone had deciphered his "Flying Cloud Sleeve Technique" so cleanly!

The person sitting on the tiger skin chair narrowed his eyes. With a trace of a smile on his lips, he slowly said, "Lin Fei, I didn't expect it to be you."

Lin Fei's face was solemn as he said slowly, "Eldest Brother, how have you been?"

The person whom he called "Eldest Brother" brushed his sleeves and coughed. The "Tianshan Duo Qi" immediately stopped moving. He raised his gaze and looked straight at Lin Fei, "Lin Fei, how long has it been since we last met? When Ming Shan left that year, there was no news of you, Shuihan, or Little Wan. I really missed you! You... How are you doing? "

"It's been almost four years since we last met, right?!" "I thought Eldest Brother had met with misfortune during the battle at the Dark Mountain..." Lin Fei said quietly, "I didn't expect Eldest Brother to have such a tough time and try his best. He created the 'Invincible Sect' in these four years, and his name is renowned throughout the world... "I really didn't expect that the famous' Invincible Sect 'leader was you, Eldest Brother …"

"I'm inheriting my master's legacy …" Eldest Brother said slowly, "Master used up all his life's work to create a divine art for us. He had always hoped that one day we would be able to become great masters … "It's a pity that Master can't see what I, Sikong Mai, have accomplished today …"

Lin Fei looked as calm as before. "Eldest Brother still doesn't forget to fulfill Master's last wish …"

Sikong Mai went silent. After a long time, he asked, "Junior brother Lin, you didn't come unexpectedly today. You couldn't have suddenly remembered to chat and reminisce about old times with senior brother, right?"

"Third junior apprentice-brother is dead." Lin Fei said word by word.

The tower quieted at once, and the air froze.

"Shuihan is dead?!" After a while, Sikong Mai's eyebrows slowly stood up like blades. He gradually revealed a sharp murderous intent, "Who did it?"

"Judging from the injuries on his body, it must have been caused by those so-called upright martial artists." Lin Fei said coldly, "Only they have such a deep grudge against us."

"That's right. In the battle at the Nethermount Kingdom, all the martial arts sects came back empty-handed with countless disciples dead and wounded …" "It looks like they've always been brooding over this. They've been waiting for an opportunity to make a move and take their revenge on us three …" Sikong Mai's gaze fell on Lin Fei's face. "Shuihan is dead. Xiao Fei, your situation is also very dangerous!"

"That's why I came to see you today." Lin Fei let out a long sigh and slowly said.

"I've already said this before: as fellow disciples, we are weaker, but as far as others are concerned, we are stronger." Sikong Mai suddenly said excitedly, "Xiao Fei, it's really great that you're here … As long as we work together, we will be able to wipe out all the martial arts sects and clans and avenge Master and Shuihan! "

After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve and the "Heaven Mountain Twin Strange" retreated.

Lin Fei smiled faintly as he felt the gazes of envy and killing intent directed at him by the "Tianshan Shuang Qi" before they descended the stairs. He had never thought that he would be a threat to the status and interests of others in the "Invincible Gate". It was only because of Sikong Mai's concern for his fellow sect members that he immediately pushed him into such a situation. Amidst his helplessness, he only felt that it was laughable.

They were alone in the tower. Sikong Mai, who always seemed to be an imposing and heroic person, used a long sigh to break the silence. His expression slowly became sad and his eyes glimmered with tears. He slowly said, "Shuihan is dead. I'm very sad."

The eight words that were full of passion actually made Lin Fei feel a twinge of jealousy. Then, he saw Sikong Mai slowly look up at the tower's dome and leisurely said, "Is Wan'er okay?"

"If it wasn't for Wan'er, I wouldn't have come to find you." Lin Fei went straight to the point, "Once Shuihan dies, their next target will definitely be me. I'm not afraid of their pursuit. I just want her to be more peaceful and happy. "Perhaps, Big Brother Dajun, your 'invincible sect' can be our temporary shelter. After I've avenged Shuihan, Wan and I will live in seclusion …"

"Hiding in seclusion?" Sikong Mai laughed coldly, "Xiao Fei, have you forgotten the eight bloody characters on our Master's back back then?" His voice was extremely solemn and powerful, as it slowly pressed down towards Lin Fei.

"'Cultivating the sacred art arduously, the great Light Faction'?" Lin Fei was surprised, "Eldest Brother, you …" "You …" Sikong Mai let out a long and loud roar. His whole body shook and the hidden energy inside his body vibrated. The golden belt on his waist automatically fell off and his black robe floated away from his body. He slowly turned around. On his broad back, there were eight large bloody characters — "Cultivating the mystical arts arduously and becoming a great teacher". It was shocking!

Lin Fei's heart thumped in his chest. Looking at the eight bloody characters on his senior brother's back, a wild and untamed power was suddenly reviving in the depths of his heart …

"Don't forget, we are the 'Gu Man'. We are the 'Gu Man' that Master created using his entire life's worth of energy and intelligence according to the 'Minor Sky God Art' mental cultivation method …" Sikong Mai's voice was cold and solemn, as if he was narrating an irrefutable fact, "Master created a world-shocking martial arts technique for us. He wanted us to fulfill his' Revitalizing the Martial Arts, Guang Da Lin 'martial arts will … In those days, our underworld clans were at peace with the world, and our masters only focused on martial arts. They wholeheartedly wanted to be masters of their times, never with a trace of malice … However, those so-called martial artists and righteous people viewed him as a beast race and wanted to kill him … And now, they had secretly harmed Shuihan, and they had already formed an enmity with him. How could they be good now? Our martial arts are unrivalled. If we work together, how can we be afraid of them? Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill them! Revenge for Master! "Take revenge for Shuihan!"

Lin Fei howled like a wolf. With a wave of his hand, his white shirt flew out of his body as well. The bloody words "Cultivating the mystical arts and the great sects" appeared on his smooth and sturdy back.
