"Master! What have you done?" Wang Rong couldn't help but panic. She was really afraid for her master now. The way she treated Jiang Jie was not how one should treat an expert. In fact, it would clearly an insult to a man of such exalted status. Why would she do that?
"What are you talking about?" the beautiful sect master looked weirdly at her disciple who was looking very worried for some reason. Her expression was flickering from fear to trepidation. This surprised the beautiful sect master very much. After bringing her to sect, she asked if she got the thing or not. Finding that it was with her, she led her through the secret hallways to the place where the two elders were recuperating. She wanted Wang Rong to personally hand over the thing to them.
"Master… that man…he protected me from those despicable Poison Mist elders. Those old men, they were going to…do bad things to me." Towards the end, Wang Rong teared up as she recalled her bad experience to her master. With the absence of Jiang Jie, she could no longer hide her emotions. Moreover, this master of hers was like a mother to her.
The cold face of the sect master turned warm as she caressed Wang Rong. With a doting voice, she said "Don't worry Rong'er, I will help you get revenge. But right now isn't a good time. I am ashamed to say this, but please endure it for the time being." The sect master felt really bad for not having the ability to help her disciple, but her hands were tied in this matter. Right now they were facing a great calamity, inviting any more trouble would be like cutting off their path of survival.
"I know master. I don't want to get revenge against them. Those despicable old men already got what they deserved. Jiang Jie helped me get revenge against them. Its just remembering…what would happen if Jiang Jie weren't there, I just kind of feel frightened." The sect master's expression flickered as she glomped Wang Rong in a hug. At the same time, she caressed her hair. Feeling the familiar warmth surrounding her, Wang Rong teared up and circled her arm around the sect master to cry. She was only 19 years old. For her to go through such horrible memories, coupled with all the bullying she had experienced so far, she could no longer hold her tears in. Powerful she may be, but in the end, her heart was that of a little girl's. Anyone would feel hurt after going through such a rough time.
"Don't worry Rong'er. Once we cross through this calamity, I will personally help you get revenge against that trashy sect. Mark my words!" the sect master solemnly vowed, it was more to herself than to her disciple. It's like she was making a pledge to herself to help her disciple. She had known Wang Rong since she was just 3 years old. All these years she had treated her like a daughter she never had. She, who was cultivating an extreme yin cultivation technique had a requirement to remain virgin forever. That's why she could never have children, and it was the reason why she treats Wang Rong so affectionately.
"Okay, I understand master. But you shouldn't have treated Jiang Jie like that you know." Wang Rong said with a worried tone. She was happy that the sect master was treating her so well, but she was also very startled at her behavior to Jiang Jie. She was even more afraid of him taking offense and wanted to take revenge.
"Why?" the sect master found it weird. Why would her disciple say such things? Wasn't he just some Core Formation brat? What's the big deal if she treated her a little coldly?
"No master, I don't know if I am right or not, but this man, he might be a Domain Lord expert. Of course, it's just my hunch, but I can be mistaken as well…" Wang Rong stammered. She wasn't sure if what she said was true or not. She never asked him, and he also didn't mention his cultivation to her, making it a mystery to her.
"What? How can that be? He was so young! How can he be a domain lord?" as expected her master didn't believe it. Shajing her head she continued "Its one thing if he is a Nascent soul expert, but to be a Domain Lord this soon? I don't believe it.
perhaps you don't know this, but beyond Nascent Soul, and before Domain Lord, there was a thin line, a barrier. To cross that barrier, one needs to understand Heavenly Laws and Daos. It's only after you understand the law and absorb it to your body, that you can become a Domain Lord.
That process usually takes hundreds of years even for a heaven-sent genius, how can he achieve it being so young?"
"I am not sure. He also didn't tell me his cultivation level. Besides he easily took care of those old men like its nothing. And you should have seen his flight speed, he only took the time it took to boil a cup of tea to cross a distance of 500 miles. Even I haven't seen you fly at that speed so I thought he might be a domain lord expert." Wang Rong defended herself. Of course, now that she thinks about it calmly there was no way a person could achieve Domain Lord status without at least training for a hundred years, how can she be so naïve?
"Rong'er, it's not that master is trying to question your intelligence, but the fact was you are just too inexperienced in the matters of the world. About his strength, he might be a peak level Core Formation Expert or might be a Nascent Soul expert like me. And for speed, he might have used a secret treasure. Anything can be possible in these myriad worlds.
There are things that even I, your master didn't know, exist in this world. There also might be a place where young Domain Lords were common, but in a place like Divine Wind Continent, it's impossible. No hurry up, we must meet our ancestor as soon as possible. In our current situation, every second count." With that, the sect master hurried her steps, followed by Wang Rong.
What she didn't tell her disciple that when she stood in front of that boy just before, she couldn't feel a trace of qi or cultivation in his body. Even when she tried to use divine sense, she could still not feel a single trace of cultivation. Except for blood, bones, and organs like a mortal, she sensed nothing else. She would have thought that he was just a mortal, but that flying wasn't false either.
Although it could have achieved by the use of treasure, even a low-grade trashy treasure requires qi to operate. And she sensed no qi in his body. Of course, she didn't search intensively in fear of truly offending such a weird person, in her current situation she couldn't handle another enemy.
Although she said that such young Domain Lords didn't exist, she herself didn't believe her words. It was only because she didn't want to hamper Wang Rong's confidence that she said some random things, but she knew that there were actually a few geniuses who had actually touched upon the boundary of Domains. And those geniuses were from this very Divine Wind Continent.
