Celestial Peak

Chapter 182: Out of a cage

A month after Wang Ling and Xiao Jianfa had their duel. It was currently in the middle of the 8th month of the year.

Sword clashes were heard in the courtyard of the Xiao Clan. Wang Ling was exchanging clashes with Xiao Jianfa. Xiao Jianfa was full of smiles as he fought with Wang Ling.

His current cultivation is capped to late-grand saint stage cultivation as Wang Ling had advanced prior to getting the Bleeding Cloud and getting pushed to the brink by Xiao Jianfa.

It was an easy breakthrough, after all, Wang Ling was already at the brink of breaking through the next stage before his fight with Xiao Jianfa. And with the help of Bleeding Cloud, Wang Ling managed to get break the barrier of the next stage.

Wang Ling's advancement managed to shock Xiao Jianfa even more. In his mind, Wang Ling was already an enigma that was hated by the heavens. He thought that way because Wang Ling had that weird condition when he was a child.

Such thoughts was exactly the same as Wang Hong's like last time.

Xiao Jianfa and Wang Ling's exchanged was being watched by Xiao Yu, Xiao Fei'er, Bai Xue, and Wang Yue. Wang Hong was determined to go into seclusion after seeing Wang Ling's prowess.

The pressure he felt from Wang Ling managed to invoke something within Wang Hong and Wang Ling advised him go and enter seclusion to see if he could push through the next stage.

Xiao Jianfa was smiling ever so widely as he fought Wang Ling once again. The sharpness of Wang Ling's swordsmanship had increased tremendously after he got Bleeding Cloud.

The two stopped moments when the sun reached its peak. It was time.

"Wang Ling my boy, your sword skill had already reached such heights at such a young age. It seems like the Xiao Clan's bloodline truly runs in your veins." Xiao Jianfa laughed as he kept the sword away.

"Thank you for the compliments, grandfather."

Wang Ling stretched his back and then saw Wang Yue running towards him. On Wang Yue's head was Bai Xue jumped on top of Wang Ling's shoulders the moment she got the chance.

Xiao Fei'er walked also approached Wang Ling, Xiao Yu did the same.

Xiao Fei'er hugged Wang Ling and said, "Take care of yourself out there, my son. Do not get into too much trouble."

Wang Ling's departure had already been talked about weeks ago after the talk Wang Ling and Xiao Jianfa had. That talk was kept between Wang Ling and Xiao Jianfa, no one but other than the two of them know of its contents.

Xiao Fei'er did not have anything to say to Wang Ling other than take care. But still, Xiao Fei'er was worried about Wang Ling.

Xiao Fei'er looked at Wang Ling and then nodded her head. Turning to Xiao Jianfa, she said, "Father, can put your will on Ling'er instead of mine? I will much assures if it is your [Will] that will be seen when he is in danger."

Xiao Jianfa shrugged his shoulders and was about to take a step forward. But Xiao Yu stopped him while saying with a smile, "I will place my will on him. Dear, please step back."

Xiao Fei'er and Xiao Jianfa looked at once another with a surprised look on their faces. They did not expect Xiao Yu to actually place her will on Wang Ling. Now, Xiao Fei'er was truly assured that no matter what happens, Wang Ling will have a last resort. Though she was indeed kind of feeling a little worried about the repercussion of this happen if Wang Ling truly did experience something bad.

[With me coming out the realm is going to be in chaos anyway. It will only be for a few anyway, it will all be good, yeah yeah, those bastards won't like so early anyway.]

Xiao Yu walked pass Xiao Fei'er and placed her palms on Wang Ling's chest. She closed her eyes and then opened them again.

Wang Ling did not know what just happened, and he did not feel any different. But Wang Ling saw Xiao Fei'er suddenly feeling assured so something must have changed.

Xiao Fei'er hugged him one last time and then Wang Yue did the same. The mother and daughter also gave Bai Xue a little hug and asked her to take care of Wang Ling and herself.

Bai Xue assured them that nothing was going to happen, "Please do not worry, I will take care of him" she said.

Wang Ling then crouched down to face Wang Yue, he took a storage ring out and then handed it over to Wang Yue, "In here contains the refined blood essence of a Greater Holy Lord, this will help you in your cultivation, Yue. And hopefully, this triggers a connection between you and the realm above."

Wang Yue accepted the ring from her older brother, "I will try my best to improve, older brother."

Wang Ling nodded his head and merely smiled as he encouraged with a few words of, "You can do it."

With that, goodbyes were over and nothing was left to be said anymore. Wang Ling turned around and then flew away. The next time he would be seeing his family would be months later when the Ten Year Bout stars. Given that he was still alive by then.

After all, the area he would be going through was littered with his enemies.

His goal was the Devil Domain to join in the auction for the Devil's Curse and complete the main materials he would need for his Natal Weapon.

But in order to get there, Wang Ling would need to cross two domains littered with the enemies of his families. First domain he would pass through would be the Dark Domain where the Xie Clan resides.

Then, he would need to pass the Earth Domain where the Beast Legion Sect is situated. Both Domains filled with his enemies, a place where he could die at any moment if he takes a misstep at this moment manages to keep a smile on Wang Ling's face.

Taking a devil mask from his storage ring, Wang Ling got ready to wreak some havoc. The last time he put this mask on, the Frost Domain knew the name of the Northern Devil.

With the brilliance of the Wang Family's First Young Master shining ever so brightly, now would be the perfect time to let the devil out of the cage and let his devil persona see the light of day.
