Beginning Of Multiverse Saga

Chapter 248: Wind Thunder Sect’s Plan

However, from what the middle-aged cultivator could sense, the might from the Zhang clan’s clan leader was much stronger than from the Wind Thunder Sect’s Elders.

To be able to come to the Zhang clan as an ambassador, his strength was not weak, and he was near the peak of the Foundation Building.

However, even he felt a trembling in his soul when he looked at that figure. He could not even think about fighting.

His body began to uncontrollably tremble as he felt an instinctive terror.

However, after a while, he was able to calm himself down. He forced himself to breath in before saying, "What has the clan leader come here for? Are you preparing to act against us?"

He felt somewhat nervous as he asked.

Before coming here, the Elders had especially given him a magic item. Even if a Bone and Soul Refining Realm cultivator attacked him, it would temporarily protect him and give him the opportunity to escape.

However, from the aura Sharky was giving off, it seemed that he would not even have the opportunity to use it.

This person was much stronger than ordinary Bone and Soul Refining Realm realm cultivators and was above the level of Elders.

Even if he used the magic item, so what?

He would just anger the other side.

"Didn’t you want to see me?" Sharky asked as he stood there.

Under the faint sunlight, he looked almost divine.

Looking at the middle-aged cultivator and the others, his expression was calm as he said, "Now, I’m here."

As he spoke, the expressions of the people from the Wind Thunder Sect changed as they felt a formless energy spread out, eating away at their soul and sucking away their strength.

The middle-aged cultivator’s expression slightly changed, and his face lost all color.

"Go back and tell them."

Looking at their reactions, Sharky continued to speak, "I will return to the Wind Thunder Sect in three months. I hope that nothing will happen to Junior Apprentice Sister Hou before then. And if even a little scratch comes on her body."

Till there, Sharky was calm, but then he shouted looking at the members of Wind Thunder Sect.

"I will create a bloodbath inside of Wind Thunder, that even 1000 years later in the Yue will not forget this."

"Please be at ease, Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang," the middle-aged cultivator said with difficulty, "We will deliver the Senior Apprentice Brother’s words."

Even though Sharky had not returned for many years, he was still an Inner Court Disciple of the Wind Thunder Sect.

That was why the middle-aged cultivator referred to him as Senior Apprentice Brother.

After saying this, he deeply bowed towards Sharky before hurriedly leaving with the others, not daring to stay even a moment longer.

"Clan leader, are you really preparing to go to the Wind Thunder Sect?"

Within the sparse and silent room, after the Wind Thunder Sect’s cultivators left, the Zhang clan’s people immediately spoke, looking quite worried.

"Clan leader, there is definitely an insidious plot; you must not go!" the Zhang clan’s people said as they looked at Sharky, looking incredibly sincere.

However, in response, Sharky only nodded before saying, "I understand how you all feel. Don’t worry, I have my own plans."

Looking at Sharky, everyone opened their mouths but did not say anything.

After a while, the Zhang clan’s people began to slowly leave, leaving behind only Zhang Ya and Zhang Chong.

Sitting at the main seat, Sharky looked at the two of them and said, "Tell me what you’re thinking."

"The Wind Thunder Sect definitely has sinister motives for summoning you," Zhang Ya said as she deeply breathed in.

"Indeed," Zhang Chong nodded, "Hao’Er, you are the pillar of this clan; how can you go to the Wind Thunder Sect and take such a big risk? If you don’t leave, our Zhang clan will have a safeguard. However, if you leave, who knows what will happen?"

That was true—if Sharky just stayed in Nine Peaks City, then nothing much could happen.

Because of Sharky’s presence, even if the Wind Thunder Sect made a big deal about Liu Fen, they would not actually do anything.

At most, the Zhang clan would lose some reputation.

However, if Sharky went to the Wind Thunder Sect, the situation would be greatly different.

If he dared to go, he would be slaughtered like a pig and not have any chance at freedom.

It would not take the Wind Thunder Sect much effort to take down Sharky.

Zhang Chong was prepared for the worst and expected the Wind Thunder Sect to act against Sharky.

As such, if Sharky went to the Wind Thunder Sect, there were only downsides and no positives.

Sitting opposite Sharky, Zhang Chong looked incredibly worried as he gave his views.

Hearing those words, Sharky paused for a moment before looking up and smiling, a look of appreciation in his eyes.

It seemed that he agreed with Zhang Chong’s words.

"Husband, I agree."

Zhang Ya also spoke as she looked at Sharky, "I know your relationship with Junior Apprentice Sister Hou. However, if you go to the Wind Thunder Sect, you will just sacrifice yourself as well. If you do not go, the Wind Thunder Sect might be wary and might leave Junior Apprentice Sister Hou alive. However, if you go..."

She paused and did not go on.

However, everyone understood what she was thinking.

If Sharky really did go to the Wind Thunder Sect, then Liu Fen would most likely die when he arrived.

Hearing Zhang Ya’s words, Sharky once again nodded in appreciation.

"What you said is true," he said as he smiled, "Given the current situation, if I dare to personally go to the Wind Thunder Sect, what you said will most likely happen."

Hearing Sharky’s words, Zhang Chong and Zhang Ya let out sighs of relief.

Since he agreed, then he most likely would not go.

However, what they did not expect was that Sharky continued to speak, "However, it is because of that that I want to go to the Wind Thunder Sect to have a look."

"Why?"

Hearing Sharky’s words, Zhang Chong and Zhang Ya’s expressions changed, "Right now, the Wind Thunder Sect is a massive trap. If you go, your outcome will be terrible!"

Sharky was calm as he smiled and said, "First, I will do the same, when someone captures you. And second, I also want to see just how strong the Wind Thunder Sect is."

After saying this, he stopped for a few seconds, and then he ordered Zhang Ya, before leaving.

"Inform He Rou, prepared for my visit."

Time gradually passed.

Soon, it had been half a month.

Within the Wind Thunder Sect’s prison, there were runes and restrictions everywhere, which could restrict a cultivator’s cultivation. It could turn a Foundation Building cultivator effectively into a mortal, unable to use their strength.

There were many cultivators locked up here, including some solo cultivators that the Wind Thunder Sect had captured, as well as some demonic cultivators.

Within one of the cells was a woman.

Compared to everyone else, she was quite special; she still looked like a young woman.

She wore red robes and sat there; it seemed that she had been locked up for a long period of time.

Liu Fen sat cross-legged, silently meditating and cultivating.

Ever since she had been discovered by the Wind Thunder Sect’s people and locked up, she had been doing this, trying to improve herself.

Hearing the sounds from outside, Liu Fen looked around.

As the door of the prison opened, the surroundings became brighter, and a person walked in.

It was a relatively tall woman.

She wore a long, white dress and had beautiful looks. She walked over and stood in front of Liu Fen.

Seeing this, Liu Fen’s expression became serious and her body instinctively tightened.

Even though they had only just met, she could sense that this person was not ordinary.

This woman was very dangerous.

Right now, Liu Fen felt a massive pressure from this woman, making her feel suffocated.

Her body tightened as she warily looked at that woman.

"Are you from the Wind Thunder Sect?" Liu Fen asked.

"Yes, but also no."

Standing outside Liu Fen’s cell and looking at Liu Fen, the woman gave a slight smile, "It’s been a while, Miss Fen."

"You know me?" Liu Fen frowned, feeling quite surprised.

This woman seemed to have seen her somewhere and seemed to know her.

"As expected, you are quite astute."

Hearing Liu Fen’s words, the woman laughed and said, "Indeed, we know each other and have known each other for a while. It is just that before, it was always me secretly observing you. As for you, perhaps you met me in the past but just did not remember me."

"I don’t think there’s much to observe about me," Liu Fen frowned as she looked at the woman, "I’m just an ordinary cultivator and am just trash to the rest of you; what is there to observe?"

"There’s no need for Miss Fen to self-deprecate," the woman smiled and continued, "You have already proven it by becoming Core Disciples."

"It all happened because of the Senior Apprentice Brother, if not him, maybe I didn’t even have even reached the Foundation Building or even started the cultivation."

Liu Fen said, and she started thinking, if Sharky has not taken him, then where will she be?

"No Miss Fen, it was not only because of your Senior Apprentice Brother. But you also have some hidden talent. Trust me when I say that you are not as simple as you seem."

"In this world, there are always people who will reign far above mortals and leave their names in the annals of history. Miss Fen, you are such a person."

Standing there, the woman smiled as she said, "There is tremendous power in your body, and if it explodes out, it will be very shocking."

"Is that so?"

Hearing the woman’s words, Liu Fen stared for a moment before saying mockingly, "I don’t really understand what you’re saying, but given my situation, is there any point about talking about the future?"

She looked at her cell and the chains around her hands as she coldly smiled, "Tell me, what do you plan to do with me? I’m sure you’re not here to just idly chat. Tell me your purpose."

"Why is Miss Fen so sure that we will do anything to you?" the woman asked as she smiled.

"What, would you release me otherwise?" Liu Fen said mockingly.

However, what shocked her was that the woman actually nodded, looking quite serious.

"That is exactly what we are going to do."

Hearing this, Liu Fen stared in confusion.

"You..."

Looking at the woman, Liu Fen could not help but feel confused.

If it was any other person, she would have thought that that person was just toying with her.

However, her instincts told her that this person was telling the truth.

Sensing this, Liu Fen could not help but feel quite surprised.

"There’s no need for any extra words right now," the woman said as she smiled, "I’m sure you’ll understand in the future, Miss Fen. As such, there’s no need to be dismayed. Right now, you just need to focus on thinking about how to leave this place."

Hearing those words, Liu Fen frowned, preparing to say something.

However, the woman once again spoke, causing Liu Fen’s expression to change.

"There’s something else I need to tell Miss Fen."

Standing there, the woman continued to smile, "A few days ago, the Wind Thunder Sect’s ambassadors left for Nine Peaks City to visit the Zhang clan leader. The Zhang clan leader will soon come to the Wind Thunder Sect to meet with Miss Fen."

"What?"

In that moment, Liu Fen’s expression greatly changed as she stared at the woman, "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang is coming to the sect?"

"That’s right," the woman lightly nodded, "The Zhang clan leader will soon be here; I’m sure you know why.

"Indeed, it is for you, Miss Fen."

"The Wind Thunder Sect has summoned the Zhang clan’s clan leader for your sake, but once he really comes, I’m sure you know what will happen."
