Celestial Peak 29 The weather's nice.

He was a man, a straight and prideful man, but in front of that 'package' he was nothing but a boy. This was the thought that sprouted in his heart.

Chang Yun chose to turn around and observe the surroundings. As he was doing so he realized that everywhere he look, there would be a hint of dangerous aura. This was the hellish qi that seeped out of Wang Ling's body when he experience bloodline mutation earlier.

[How terrifying!

Wang Hong was a figure of respect in the hearts of the young generation. As someone who had attained spear intent in the young age of seventeen, Wang Hong was worthy of respect indeed.

The Second Young Master of the Wang family was a true genius. A 'heaven chosen' if you will.

When Wang Ling was compared to Wang Hong, Wang Ling was everything but bright and radiant. He was someone who couldn't do anything by himself for nineteen years of his life and was someone who suffered injuries a month after he awakened from his deep sleep.

He can even be considered as the one who is hated by the heavens. One was the favored child of heaven while the other was shunned by the heavens.

[Wait a minute, didn't they say this First Young Master managed to take the eye of an energy palace devil cultivator in his first battle?]

However, upon thinking about this more carefully. Chang Yun had to think twice after remembering the hearsay he obtained from the people of numerous circles.

[He achieve proficiency in speech shortly after waking up.

He managed to read shortly after doing so and started practicing in martial arts.

He then began his cultivation and after a short week and a few more days, he lit up his qi pillars then broke through to the earth root stage.

And now, he even awakened some kind of bloodline that can improve his talent and strength by leaps and bound….]

Although this kind of thing seem normal, when one consider everything carefully. Isn't this First Young Master too brilliant?

[It seems like every member of the Wang family is not normal.]

He thought himself. While he was immersed in his thoughts, someone touched him by the shoulders. He was startled and quickly turned to look at Wang Ling who had just finished chancing into his white scholarly robes.

"So you have finished changing already? Please come and take a sit on the Azure Condor's back, I shall take you to the esteemed elder Wang Shu Qing."

Wang Ling only nodded his head and did what he was told. He got up the Azure Condors back right after Chang Yun did so the Azure Condor won't be startled by his sudden appearance.

"Let's go." After Wang Ling mounted the Azure Condor, Chang Yun made it ascend to the skies.

Scraaa!

The Azure Condor let out a heartfelt cry as it flew toward the sky with great speed. Chang Yun felt like the need to speak with this First Young Master but he did not have any topic of conversation.

In the end he was left with a silent flight. Wang Ling was in no way perturbed by the silence as he was delighted by the fact that Chang Yun was silent. Along the road his mind was preoccupied by self-questioning and meditation.

He circulated his spirit qi and blood with grace as he tried getting a better look of his physique. Wanting to grow stronger by the second, Wang Ling never stops practicing every little detail of his physique.

With the physique and bloodline of a devil, his usual cultivation method had to be altered a little bit. It took him two hours before he managed to alter the flow of his spirit qi.

After altering the flow of his spirit qi, he went ahead and reviewed the way on how his wings can be used. He may not be able to fly just yet but soon enough, he will soar through the skies with his pair of black wings.

While Wang Ling was focused on training, Chang Yun spotted something happening down below. His eyes were rather sharp so he managed to see it, two youths were surrounded by twenty or so [Demon Blood Hound].

One these two youths was a boy while the other was a girl.

At first Chang Yun was enraged to see someone actually dared trespass the 'sacred grounds' of their empire. The place they were standing on was called [YinYang Forest].

This forest house the YinYang Heavenly Pool and thousands of different beasts, savage beast and spirit beast alike. The surrounding of the YinYang Heavenly Pool is surrounded by a formation to protect it from beasts and other humans alike.

Only those who possess a special talisman issued by the Emperor can one enter and leave the vicinity the YinYang Heavenly Pool.

Outside the formation around the pool was regarded as the YinYang Forest. This forest is one of sacred grounds of the Imperial Family as this is the place where the founder of the Empire Ascended and became a [True Saint].

This land had long been claimed as the sacred grounds of the Imperial Chang Clan.

Chang Yun's anger that was soaring suddenly turned to worry after realizing the identity of the youths down below. Wang Ling was taken away from his deep concentration when he felt the disturbance on Chang Yun's demeanor.

Following the gaze of this youth, Wang Ling saw the two youths being besieged by Demon Blood Hounds and said:

"Go down if you must."

Wang Ling's voice echoed at Chang Yun's ears and immediately made the Azure Condor dive down. The Azure Condor let out a screech to let its enemy that it was coming.

Scraaa!

The two youths looked up and saw the Azure Condor coming down towards them and felt a momentary feeling of hopelessness. However, when they saw Chang Yun was riding on the Azure Condor's back, the two youths immediately smiled.

"Senior Brother Chang Yun is here!" the boy cried out to the girl.

"Older brother, you are right on time!" the girl responded with eyes that is filled with tears.

The Azure Condor swept down the battlefield and took out one of the many Demon blood Hounds. The Demon Blood Hounds were only a sky root stage beast, it was far inferior when compared to the Azure Condor.

"Go towards the direction of the two." Chang Yun commanded the Azure Condor and stood beside the two youths. He dismounted from the Azure Condor together with Wang Ling and immediately run towards the two youths.

Pak!

He smack the head of the boy and gave the girl a flick on the forehead and immediately started giving them a lecture.

"What the hell are you guys doing here!? Imperial Father said that no one is to enter until he lifts the ban! What do you wish to obtain by sneaking in here and ending up entrapped by savage beast? If not for me seeing you, the two of you would die sooner or later!"

Chang Yun looked at his sister and the boy who came from his sect and started giving them a strict lecture. While there were indeed savage beast around them, they should scamper soon as they are weaker than Azure Skies Condor.

Wang Ling turned his gaze to the youths for one instant before looking back to the Demon Blood Hounds that has yet to run away. Demon Blood Hounds were weaker than the Azure Skies Condor. Although they outnumbered it by quite a lot, it was still impossible for them to kill it so staying in that place was stupid.

Savage beasts may not be so intelligent as humans or the other races. But they should have run away the moment the Azure Condor came down.

"Chang Yun, something's not right with these Demon Blood Hound. There should be something powerful leading them, a Demon Blood Hound King might be around. Focus on our current situation before lecturing them."

Wang Ling made a carefree remark. The two youths looked at Wang Ling with interested eyes. The girl especially, who looked at Wang Ling with great interest.

"Big brother, is he the one you came to pick from the YinYang Heavenly Pool?"

Chang Yun looked at his younger sister and nodded his head. He was still angry and wanted to continue his lecture and hopefully give this mischievous sister of his some harsh punishment.

However, Wang Ling was right. The situation was not normal and he believed Wang Ling's words were correct.

"ROAR!!" a roar resounded at the depths of the YinYang Forest. Two beasts that moved like the wind appeared from the large thickets. The two beasts were larger by two folds when compared to the other Demon Blood Hounds.

The two stood at five to six meters tall and were radiating a large amount of bloodlust towards Wang Ling and the others. The two Demon Blood Hound King have black fur that was comparable charcoal.

Ordinary Demon Blood Hound's fur were greyish in color. Chang Yun and the two youths were overwhelmed by the dense killing intent but Wang Ling just stood there without much care.

He turned to look at Chang Yun who was a pinnacle-energy palace stage and saw him taking out a halberd. The halberd was beautiful and looked like it was burning and emitting flames.

This halberd of his was a true 'ranked' artifact.

Chang Yun held no fear in his eyes in front of this beast. It was clear that he was confident about his skills. However, he wasn't confident that he could protect the two youths from all the other Demon Blood Hounds if he fought with the Demon Blood Hound King.

The Demon Blood Hounds were all pinnacle-sky root stage. The boy was a pinnacle-sky root stage while his sister was a late-sky root stage. They might held out until he slays the Demon Blood Hound King, but what of Wang Ling?

He was a mere early-sky root stage cultivator and his experience was closed to nil. How could he survive?

Chang Yun looked at the two youths and then towards Wang Ling. Wang Ling looked at him seemingly aware of what is in his mind. Sighing, Wang Ling stretched out his remaining hand.

"Give me a sword. If I have a sword I won't die that easily. Also, if you don't fight, we're going to be suppress and we will all die." Wang Ling said with a smile on his face. Chang Yun hesitated for a moment before taking out a 'pseudo artifact' from his storage ring.

An artifact is like a divine weapon, capable of slicing what normal weapon can't. Pseudo artifact was a weapon that is close to becoming a divine weapon but is yet to truly become one.

"I do not practice in swordsmanship so I can only give you a pseudo artifact. Please hold out until I finish my opponent."

Wang Ling nodded his head and took the sword from Chang Yun's hands.

"Good sword." He remarked as he observed the sharpness it holds. Wang Ling turned to Chang Yun and said, "You should focus on your fight."

With that, Chang Yun nodded his head and started walking away from Wang Ling and the other two. As he was walking, he gave them an advice, "Don't stray from one another."

The two youths nodded their heads vigorously. Wang Ling did the same just to show that he was listening to the guy.

"Roar!" one of the Demon Blood Hound King saw Chang Yun walking towards them and glared at him with an immense killing intent. However, Chang Yun stood there with his halberd concentrating his mind so as to not make any error with his movements.

A fine show of concentration.

"Azure Condor, I leave the other Demon Blood Hound King to you! Slay it and show these mutts who is superior!" Chang Yun spoke to the Azure Condor and it responded with and ear piercing screech that made the surrounding Demon Blood Hound tremble.

Fwoosh! The two Demon Blood Hound King moved at the next instant so they can swiftly kill Chang Yun and the Azure Condor.

Boom!

A fierce battle of man vs beast and beast vs beast erupted. Wielding his halberd, Chang Yun looked like a formidable general out for blood.

Bang!

His halberd slammed at the Demon Blood Hound King's body with terrifying force. The Demon Blood Hound King's body shuddered for a moment but it soon recovered and pounced at Chang Yun with terrifying ferocity.

While the battle of energy palace stage cultivators were ensuing. Wang Ling and the other two youths had their own fight to worry about.

The boy who called Chang Yun senior brother moved like the wind as he fought with great strength. He was unyielding and did his best to protect the young girl who was with him.

The young girl was also doing her best, and her swordsmanship was exquisite. One can even feel hint of sword intent from it, sadly, the girl had a weak cultivation base and was soon overwhelmed by the beasts.

She soon fell to the ground unable to guard herself anymore. Wanting to get back up to fight, the girl made an attempt to stand up but when she looked up, there were already three Demon Blood Hounds pouncing towards her direction.

At that short moment, she knew that she was going to die. What a stupid way to die it was? Sneaking into the sacred grounds to get a glimpse of the 'devil' of the Wang family only to get killed by some beasts.

"Someone…" she eke out a few words as she turned her head over from reality. She waited for the claw and maw of beast while trembling on the ground.

But then, an unfeeling voice rang out…

"Die you filthy mutts."

Wang Ling made his move and stood in front of the girl. He brandished the sword he was given at the three Demon Hounds. With his hellish qi and spirit qi, Wang Ling made use of his consummate skills: Ocean's Lull and the Tidal Wave!

Slash!

Seeing through the attack of his enemies Wang Ling took their lives with a single swing. The Demon Blood Hounds were beheaded with a clean cut.

Raising her head, the girl saw the shower of blood coming down as the heads of the three Demon Blood Hound flung away. She looked at Wang Ling full of awe. This man had a weaker cultivation than her yet he was clearly stronger.

She looked at him full of reverie yet Wang Ling didn't spare her a single glance. After killed the three Demon Blood Hounds he made his move at the remaining beasts.

He started moving and began reaping the life of every Demon Blood Hound along the way. His sword techniques complimented one another and gave him full view of his surroundings.

Killing the ones who attack him at the back with no problem, it was as if had an eye on the back of his head. Wang Ling beheaded and mutilated the beasts.

Wails and cries of Demon Blood Hounds echoed. As if the wails and cries were music, Wang Ling's movement became so smooth that it seemed like he was dancing all over the beasts.

Slash!

Slash!

Slash!

Ting!

The sword on his hand started humming as Wang Ling stopped and turned to look at the sky, he sighed as he thought.

[The weather's quite nice.]
