YM778.TV Chapter 388 - Conflict.
Yang Dao and Feng Yun rode the Golden crow for a couple of hours at a speed of five hundred kils an hour. They both were immersed in meditation and did not waste time. Yang Dao meditated on how to deal with the things ahead. He was drawing blueprints to approach things laying ahead of him.
Feng Yun was meditating because she did not have any interest in the scenery of the world if Yang Dao was not interested. The definition of the world in the eyes of a familiar spirit was very simple. The Dao Child was their world. If he was not there, then they will just act to make things ready for his arrival.
That was all that mattered to them. Their job and reason of existence were to help the Dao Child while the Dao Child will deal with the big things. Since the boy was going to meditate, she turned aloof to the world.
Amber spoke all of a sudden, "Your majesty, there is a big man-made region up ahead."
Feng Yun opened her almond eyes and using her advanced vision prowess she found themselves approaching a force that controlled this place. She said, "Land a hundred meters away from the place."
"Yes, milady," said Amber.
Feng Yun did not want to go into the unknown head-on. She wanted to ask Yang Dao about his opinion. After a few minutes, the people landed a hundred meters away from the place. The boy woke up when he sensed the pause. He asked, "Did we find a place?"
Feng Yun nodded and said, "Ahead lies the nation of fire. I did not wish to rush into the unknown in such a boorish manner. So, I thought about landing here and letting you decide what you wish to do."
Yang Dao nodded and said, "You thought right, we should not act too headstrong at the beginning. Must analyze the situation first."
That said, he jumped off the back of the golden crow. Feng Yun followed him up and Amber fell back on the index finger of the boy becoming a jewelry piece. The duo then walked forward to the entry gate pointed out by Feng Yun.
As they got close to the gate they found soldiers guarding the place. They were not like mortal humans but looked like the eternal guards of the empire. All wearing a similar crimson and black armor and helmet, a long sword hanging on the waist while they held long spears in their hand diagonally across their body.
The soldiers spotted Yang Dao and Feng Yun approaching towards them and one of the soldiers suddenly yelled, "Stop. State your identity and purpose."
Feng Yun replied, "Travelers. Feng Yun maid to Young Master Dao." as she made an introductory gesture toward Yang Dao.
The soldier asked, "Where did you come from?"
Feng Yun replied in a calm voice, "A faraway place."
The soldier nodded and turned his head to look at the captain sitting behind. The captain had a red hussar on his black helmet. He walked over and asked, "Do you know how to bend elements?"
His tone was cautious. Feng Yun nodded and so did Yang Dao. The man asked, "Which one?"
Feng Yun said four and Yang Dao replied three. The people froze for a second but then they burst out in a peal of loud laughter. They had never seen anyone in the whole \'world\' to be able to bend two elements but these two \'lunatics\' claimed to have control over four and three attributes.
"hahahahaha..."
"HAHAHAHAHa..."
Suddenly the captain took out his sword and hacked it at Yang Dao, who stood at the forefront, as he said, "No lunatics allowed inside the fire region."
Feng Yun did not expect the person to suddenly attack Yang Dao. However, the boy did not act in a hurry. He watched the sword incoming and held it between his two fingers with a clanking sound.
The captain was surprised, he noticed that Yang Dao\'s fingers were covered in a green luster. He yelled, "Earth practitioner. Everyone on guard."
The next moment Yang Dao waved his hand and a strong air current lifted the man up from the ground, as it gently pushed him away. Yang Dao had not said a single word since he had come here. He said, "Know your limits, do not push me to act."
His cold voice made the people sweat. They did not expect this young man to be so strong. The cold voice was lingering with a strong intent to kill. The captain wanted to take a step back but suddenly a voice rang out on the scene and disturbed the silence.
"Who dares to be so rampant in the region of fire? What if I turn you to ashes right away." the voice was filled with arrogance but it was not deep. On the contrary, the voice had a sharp shrill to it. Yang Dao raised his head and located the source of the voice.
He was surprised that he was challenged and threatened by a lady. He would have dealt with the girl if he was alone, but since Feng Yun was here, he decided to let her come forth.
He said, "Yun, get it done, go easy."
Feng Yun smiled when she heard his cold voice. She was finally asked to deal with the people by the master himself. How could she let go of such an opportunity? She did not even say a word and waved her hand. A slash of fire rushed towards the girl.
The girl was panicked when the curtain floated towards her. She could sense the pressure it gave. This was not something she could deal with. She took out a crimson piece jade card from her sleeve and broke it. A layer of vermillion source energy appeared in front of her, forming a defensive barrier, but at the moment the slash fell on the defensive spell. The girl realized her nativity, she heard a cracking sound from the defense barrier and an indifferent voice, "Stop."
The voice belonged to Yang Dao. He asked Feng Yun to stop before her slash killed the girl and turned her dead body into a melted puddle of meat.. Yes, Feng Yun was a sadist and she did not turn things to ash.
