Chapter 318: A Stormy Undercurrent
"I will go up and stand guard for Little Ming you and these five would stay here and stand guard for her"
Elder Long instructed as he erupted from the ground and soared into the sky towards the treehouse stunning Elder Yun who had never seen Elder Long fly without the use of his flying sword;
"Saint Stage!?"
She trembled for about an hour before returning to her guard duty
A week passed by in a flash
Back within the Desert Sun Sect
Min Hong's apartment
Currently there were several moans echoing from the bath, and without thinking too much of it and including the strong stench of lechery that permeated the entire house, it was obvious that Min Hong was currently bestowing his affection to Min Qing in the hot bath
About three hours later, they finally stepped out, with Min Qing grabbing the lower part of her tummy with a slight painful expression etched on her face
It seemed Min Hong drilled her too deep this morning, and why wouldn't he?
After all, today was the day he would be battling ten inner court disciples consecutively, and despite all that, it seemed Min Qing enjoyed every bit of it, because beneath all that painful expression and within the depths of her eyes was the glow of a lady that had seen her fantasies fulfilled in every possible way
Furthermore, Min Hong himself felt free, but no one knew maybe because he had dumped his weight within Min Qing, or something else, but the moment he stepped into the living room, there was this massive aura of confidence about him
His imperial aura was really obvious at this point, and from what he could guess, since it took dual cultivation to unlock Min Qing's imperial guardian bloodline then perhaps every dual cultivation they had from then on had a little bit of influence on both their bloodlines
But at this moment, he seemed to have dumped everything in his mind, heart, soul and body into Min Qing who was feeling pleased to be able to relieve her lover on every level despite the slight painful expression on her face
Perhaps, they had dual cultivated with their cultivation base active, and it was a no-brainer to understand the level of damage a cock in the Peak of the Emperor stage could do
Min Hong had requested Mu Li to help him find out about how the inner court 'War God Trials' would be seeded and in less than three hours, Mu Li had returned with the results only to find out that the duo were not in sight...
Then the moans that was bellowing from the bathroom told him that they were both playing some form of naked hide and seek, and he had to wait for about four hours before it all ended, and when they eventually came out, he could see Min Qing beaming with a satisfied smile whilst they both seem to glow radiantly but strangely
He tendered his findings and, Min Hong's weakest opponent would have a total battle power of a 1 Star Nascent Soul stage
The next two would have a total battle power of a 2 Star Nascent Soul stage
Then the next three, would have a total battle power of 3 Star Nascent Soul stage, whilst the final four would have the total battle prowess of a 4 Star Nascent Soul stage expert, each
"Thanks a lot, Mu Li I heard you conquered your outer court 'War God Trials' How was it?"
Min Hong asked as he patted Mu Li on the shoulder;
"I don't know how you guys managed it, but it was hellish for me"
"But on the brighter side, it did spur my growth and I managed to breakthrough" Mu Li said with a proud grin;
"Congratulations, Mu Li You earned every shred of your breakthrough"
Min Qing fueled his pride making Mu Li very happy as he responded wholeheartedly;
"Thanks a lot"
"How many of us are yet to challenge the trials?" Min Hong went back to the conversation;
"None The last two are Mu Bai and Qing Tan, and they are currently in the reaper's lair"
"As for Qing Tan, though she was initially lucky because Kun Lin and Second had defeated most of the strongest expert, but despite that, she still got to battle a 7 Star Dan Formation outer court female disciple"
"But her final fight would be with a girl with a 9 Star Dan Formation battle power" Mu Li explained referring to Min Qing as 'Second'
"What!?" Min Qing blurted;
"She's still in the 4 Star Dan Formation stage, and even with all things considered, she would only at most reach the 7 Star Dan Formation stage"
"Battling a 9 Star Dan Formation expert would definitely spell not only her defeat but endanger her life also"
Min Hong added with an anxious frown, and even he, himself, couldn't tell why he was so agitated
"Moreover, how is it possible that there was still a 9 Star Dan Formation stage female disciple?"
Min Qing blurted her lower pain seemingly fading into oblivion to be replaced by genuine worry
"Well, I guess it was the work of Xi Mei and Yue Yao"
"Furthermore, even Mu Bai is going to be fighting a disciple in the 3 Star Nascent Soul Stage and his total battle prowess is in the Peak of Dan Formation stage"
"This also seems to be the doing of the Shen siblings and Lao Shi" Mu Li sighed
"I am going down there if Mu Bai or Qing Tan is in any sort of life threatening trouble, then I will intervene, and I don't care if I get expelled for it" Min Hong blurted;
"No, don't go down there"
Mu Li stopped the Min Hong duo by standing in front of them
"Why!?" Min Hong asked with a frown;
"They are both trying to prove something, so it would be discouraging or a distraction should you guys show up They knew about the entire setup because I gave them the information beforehand, but they still decided to go for it"
"So, I believe in them and know that they are doing what they are currently doing to pass a message and make a statement, not only to everyone else, but to prove to the group that they are worthy of the level of respect they have been given"
Mu Li spoke as he shook his head with a helpless sigh Even he couldn't understand what Mu Bai; his twin brother, was thinking when he decided to go on with the 'Trials' despite knowing the difficulties involved;
"Moreover, Long Sha, Kun Chao and Kun Lin are there"
"Do you think they will just stand by and watch their comrades suffer or get pummeled mercilessly?"
"We all swore an oath when we established this group of ours, remember?"
"Furthermore, you not showing up wouldn't mean you didn't care about them, rather it would depict that you trust them enough to be able to handle difficulties on their own..."
"Lastly, it would also serve as a motivation that you are so confident in their abilities, that you believe they would surely triumph over any of their fears or difficulties"
Mu Li explained, and after seeing his angle and logic of the situation, Min Hong and Min Qing finally sat down, but worry was still very obvious in their tone and expressions
"Our group has to be built on not only blind trust, but emotional strength also I will be heading back to the reaper's lair"
"Mu Bai has recruited four female outer disciples in the past few days and they are also keeping an eye on Little Qing"
"But I have to get back and make sure we gather enough winnings today So, we will all see you guys after everything had ended"
Mu Li added before stepping out of the room whilst Min Qing could on curl into a ball of worry as she laid her heads on Min Hong's laps, whilst Min Hong's brain went into full gear thinking of a possible solution to the level of threat these Shen Siblings, Lao Shi and Yue Yao might cause them in the future
To him, they were becoming a viper beneath his green grass, and if he doesn't deal with the problems now and fast, they might get him through their group and hit him where it truly hurts or in a spot he might be unable to quickly recover from
But no matter what, he had to be subtle and unassuming about his plans, and the method with which it is being carried out
