C910 Tantai Aotian
There is a pavilion deep within the Tantai family... The pavilion was located in a pool, and it was surrounded by lotus flowers. Beside the lotus flowers were many cultivators. Of course, these cultivators were not cultivating, but taking care of the lotus flowers.
Inside the pavilion was a huge area. Inside the huge area... There was an exquisite pavilion, which did not have many people inside... However, it was clean and spotless. At the same time, it was extremely quiet.
In the pavilion, there was another exquisite room. It did not look very big, but it gave off a terrifying aura of danger.
Moreover, if someone who understood array formations was present, they would definitely be able to sense the many mysteries within this room.
This room didn't seem very big, no matter if it was the floor in front of the door. It was also the wall in the room above the door, as well as the roof above the door. It was filled with formations. Those who didn't know anything about formations... If one wanted to enter the room without being led by a leader... It would be very difficult for them to enter the room.
Of course, it was also possible if a powerful cultivator insisted on breaking into the room with brute force. However, such a thing would never happen.
After all, this was the Tantai Clan. In Tongxuan City, the Tantai Clan was definitely the number one faction. The Tantai Clan's Patriarch had already reached the initial stage of the Sage Stage.
On the other hand, there were many array formations in the room. In reality, there were still a few array formations that had already reached the saint level. It was impossible for ordinary cultivators to break through such formations unless the leaders of first-rate forces were willing to. Otherwise, any cultivator would be powerless to do anything.
For ordinary cultivators, even if they had the right to break into the rooms, however, it was almost impossible for them to do so. After all, this was the deepest part of the Tantai Clan. If they were to make a move here, they would definitely attract the attention of the Tantai Clan. At that time, it would be inevitable for the Tantai family to be alarmed. At that time... When the Tantai family arrived, no matter who it was, nothing good would come out of it.
Such a room was within the Tantai family. In the vast Tantai Clan, there was only one room. It was not something that anyone could casually own. The owner of this room wasn't an ordinary person either. It was the daughter of the Tantai family's head, Tantai You.
Tantai You wasn't idle in the room. He was in a state of meditation.
It was obvious that Tantai You was in a state of cultivation.
Half a year had passed. Although Tantai You's cultivation level had not increased, her combat strength had become much stronger compared to before.
That was why it had such an obvious change.
She naturally thought that Tantai You's improvement was entirely due to the formation.
Before she entered the Chaotic Storm, her attainments in array formations had already reached the Holy level. Now, half a year had passed and her attainments in the formation had improved once again. She had truly reached the level of a saint.
In the entire Tongxuan City, there were only three people in the entire family who had truly reached the level of a Sage in terms of array formations, even if the Tantai family had started from scratch.
Of these three people, one of them was naturally the current head of the Tantai Family. The other two were the elders of the Tantai Family and the two elders of the Tantai Family. They were both at the initial stage of the Half-Step Sage Stage.
However, Tantai You wasn't even at the Celestial Eradication Realm, but he already had terrifying deployment spells. It was easy to imagine how powerful Tantai You's deployment spells were.
Even if all the cultivators of the Tantai Clan were to be counted, they wouldn't be able to compete with Tantai You.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
Suddenly. Without any warning, a buzzing sound could be heard from the space in front of Tantai You.
Following which, an illusory spirit pattern rapidly condensed in front of Tantai You. It flickered continuously in the air and at the same time, it emitted a mysterious aura of a formation.
Suddenly, as the spirit pattern flickered.
"I'm coming. Tantai You, I'm coming. Come out and meet me." This thunderous voice entered the room and instantly entered Tantai You's ears.
This voice sounded rather calm. However, if one listened carefully to this sentence, it would not be difficult to notice that this voice contained an intense domineering intent.
That kind of overbearing. It was as though it could ignore the heavens and the earth, as if it was lawless and lawless.
However, this kind of voice was something that Tantai You wished to hear.
At the same time, this voice entered Tantai You's ears. Tantai You, who was in the midst of his cultivation, suddenly shuddered. His heart skipped a beat. At the same time, the illusionary spirit pattern in front of him also disappeared.
"Ling Jian, he didn't lie to me. He really came!" A shock flashed across Tantai You's eyes. His eyes had also become round due to his shock.
"Looks like he still keeps his promise." After muttering to himself in a low voice, the shock on Tantai You's face had completely disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a trace of excitement.
"Ling Jian, it has been half a year. You should have improved as well. However, I am really happy that you are here." Tantai You's face was filled with yearning and joy.
At this moment, Tantai You's eyes had become extremely red. It was as if tears were about to fall. At the same time, the scenes from before kept appearing in her mind.
The scene instantly appeared in the dark sky. Finally, the scene was completely fixed on the moment after the two of them kissed. If they were to be separated in the end...
Half a year ago, after she separated from Ling Jian, she had already brought Ling Yun back to Tongxuan City.
She originally thought that Ling Jian would definitely rush back to find her after finishing off the Lightning Qilin in the sky.
However, she didn't expect that this wait would last for nearly half a year.
In this half a year, Tantai You had even thought that Ling Jian had died in the hands of the Lightning Qilin.
After all, it was a genuine Saint level Godly Beast, and it was an original Godly Beast. If it was compared to a normal human cultivator, it would not be any weaker than a Saint level Late Stage cultivator.
Such a powerful divine beast, even his father, as the number one expert in Tong Xuan City, would probably be far from being a match for it, let alone Ling Jian, whose cultivation was merely at the initial-stage of the Heavenly Source Realm.
Thus, when she thought that Ling Jian really died in the hands of that Lightning Qilin in the Chaotic Black Sky... During this period of time, Tantai You had similarly not stopped. He had used the array formation to break through to the Sage level. From then on, he would be able to paralyze himself.
However, after hearing Ling Jian's voice, the stone that had been hanging in his heart for a long time finally fell. At the same time, the longing that he had accumulated over the past half a year exploded out without restraint.
"Hmph, this scoundrel is finally willing to appear and look for me. However, speaking of which, he had already created such a huge commotion the moment he appeared. Seriously, it was as if he was afraid that no one else would know that he was here to look for me." A look of complaint appeared on Tantai You's face, but the smile on his face could not be concealed.
Tantai You stood up from the bed, and with a flash, he rushed out of the room and dashed towards Ling Jian.
At this moment, in the pavilion, there were only a few figures from Liao who were trimming the flowers and plants. When they saw Tantai You rushing out, they all chose to bow at the first possible moment.
However, before they could react, when they saw Tantai You's figure clearly, Tantai You suddenly turned into a flash of light and rushed out of the pavilion.
"This... What's wrong with our young lady? Why is she in such a hurry?"
"Yeah, this is completely not in line with the image of the goddess in my heart."
The servants in the pavilions all revealed puzzled expressions. However, they quickly reacted because the voice just now had also entered their ears.
"That voice just now came from outside. Could it be that someone really came to look for Miss?" The servants looked at each other in disbelief. If that was the case, it would be somewhat unusual.
It was clear that if it was someone the family knew, they wouldn't let that person really speak.
...
As Tantai You heard that voice, he headed towards the main entrance of the residence. At the same time, in the Tantai Clan... On the other side, there were two figures who heard this. They too shot into the sky and headed towards the main gate.
One of the two figures was a young man who did not have a magnificent figure. The other was an illusionary figure. However, his head was not human. Instead, it had six ferocious snake heads.
These two figures were none other than Ling Yun and the Six Demons.
Along the way, wherever the two figures passed, many Tantai Clan cultivators could not help but reveal looks of reverence and fear when they saw this scene.
This was because the person in front of them was currently ranked third on the list of geniuses in the entire East Taitian. This kind of height caused all the new students to feel fear.
Outside the main doors of the Tantai Clan.
Now that Ling Jian had spoken, it could be said that the entire Tantai Clan had been alarmed. However, compared to the main gate of the residence, it was extremely quiet.
In particular, the guards at the entrance were all staring at Ling Jian in shock. Evidently, they had not expected Ling Jian to be so bold.
They were all shocked. They had never expected Ling Jian to be so unscrupulous. He was totally not putting the Tantai family in his eyes.
"You! You!" The guards of the Tantai Family all turned to look at Ling Jian. They were all extremely furious, but no matter what, they could not utter a single word.
They were all at the Heavenly Source Late Stage. Now, they could only watch as Ling Jian spoke loudly in front of them. If such a thing were to spread in the future, it wouldn't be good for their reputation. Furthermore, it had already alarmed so many of their clansmen. They were afraid that the upper echelons of the clan would blame them. They could not bear it either.
"This kid is simply too detestable!"
"You... You dare to cause trouble in our Tantai family? Are you trying to push us into a fiery pit?"
The guards had cold expressions on their faces. However, their expressions were as unpleasant as if they had just eaten a fly.
If they had known earlier that Ling Jian had such guts, they would have definitely chosen to attack at the first possible moment. Kill Ling Jian, not giving him any chance to speak. But now, it had alarmed quite a number of clan members.
Even if they wanted to kill Ling Jian now, it was impossible. They could only wait for the higher-ups to deal with him.
"Who dares to kill my Tantai family?"
"It's that brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He actually dares to call my family's young miss by her name. He's simply arrogant."
"The status of young miss is not something you can compare with. You're courting death."
...
At that instant, a series of voices with hints of anger could be heard coming from the direction of the voice. At that instant, many cultivators from the clan had already rushed over.
The cultivators who had arrived earlier were all from the younger generation. They were extremely fast and soon arrived at the entrance of the residence.
The older generation did not appear among the cultivators. After all, although the disturbance caused by Ling Jian opening his mouth and lodging was huge, however, for the older generation... Actually, it was nothing much. If even they were to come over... It was inevitable that they would appear to be making a fuss out of nothing and making a mountain out of a molehill.
At this moment, the gazes of these cultivators of the younger generation carried some fury. Their gazes also landed on Ling Jian at the first moment, and they revealed a gloomy expression.
At this time, at the entrance, these guards all discovered these young cultivators who had arrived. However, their expressions didn't show any joy. Instead, they became extremely gloomy. They chose to remain silent after seeing these people.
"Humph, where did this scoundrel come from? How dare he behave atrociously at the entrance of my Tantai Price Family?"
"Was it you who said those words earlier? Who gave you the audacity to do so?"
Many of the young cultivators looked at Ling Jian. At the same time, at the front of the group, a cultivator asked in a cold voice.
This young cultivator's cultivation was at the late-stage Heaven Origin Stage compared to the rest of the cultivators. However, the only difference was that the aura emitted from her body was extremely powerful.
The surrounding young cultivators who followed him were all standing behind him with this young man as their leader.
This was the reason why this situation occurred. Apart from the young man's original cultivation and strength, it also had something to do with the young man's identity.
This young cultivator was called Tantai Aotian, the grandson of the Tantai family's elder. He had a very high status in the family.
Apart from this identity, he was also a powerful array master. He had already stepped into the Heaven grade array master level and was now ranked 71st on the genius rankings.
This ranking didn't seem to be very outstanding, but don't forget. There were only 150 places on the Genius rankings, although it was not comparable to Tantai You, who was ranked 22nd. However, in the entire younger generation of the Tantai Clan, there was no cultivator who could surpass him. Adding his identity, it could be said that he was among the younger generation of the Tantai family. He was extremely famous.
"Hmph. Do you know who Miss Tantai is? And who are you? How can you meet her just like that? " Tantai Aotian sneered in disdain and did not take Ling Jian seriously at all. Just now, he had also noticed that Ling Jian's cultivation was only at the initial-stage of the Heavenly Source Realm. Such a cultivation level was within the powerful Tantai Clan. The younger generation could be said to be one in a million.
In Tantai Aotian's opinion, not to mention Ling Jian's cultivation base being only at the initial-stage of the Heavenly Source Realm, even if he had truly reached the late-stage of the Heavenly Source Realm, he probably wouldn't have the qualifications to meet Tantai You.
After all, Tantai You was the number one person in the younger generation and had a very high status in comparison. Although he was the grandson of a great elder, he still couldn't be compared to the young miss, Tantai You, in the family.
Ling Jian was only an outsider to the Tantai family. What right did he have to meet Tantai You?
"Oh, then according to what you said, what cultivation base do I need to reach to be qualified to meet your young mistress?" Ling Jian's gaze was fixed on Tantai Aotian as he spoke in a playful tone.1
"Hmph, at the very least, I need to reach the Heavenly Source Late Stage. Even if I am not as strong as you, I will still hate you for your cultivation level." Tantai Aotian spoke in a cold voice. His tone was filled with arrogance.
"Brother Ao Tian, why waste your breath on trash like him? It would be a waste of time to waste your breath talking to him. It would be better to just let him get out of here."
"That's right, Brother Aotian. A trash like him. How can he possibly reach the late stage of the Heavenly Source Realm? Even if his cultivation really enters the late stage of the Heavenly Source Realm, what qualifications does he have to meet our big miss?"
"That's right, Big Brother Aotian. I think we should just capture him and hand him over to our family to deal with. How can we let him off so easily when he's so arrogant in our Tantai family?"
"That's right, let our family deal with him. Such a waste, yet so arrogant and ignorant, will most likely not have a good end this time."
"That's right. Who asked him to be so ungrateful? However, it's worthwhile for him to say a few more words to brother Aotian before he dies."
...
Almost at the same time that Tantai Aotian finished speaking, the surrounding sound of many family disciples mocking Ling Jian could be heard.
