Chapter 497: [ Dawn Organization (2) ]

“I think I can guess why she had reacted as such…” Suddenly, Xia Xinyan muttered as she watched the ongoing battle in the sky—in which, it was already clear who was going to win.

The only thing that supported Lan Ling ‘er was the talismans and magical items she had brought with her.

“Oh? What is it? What is it?” Yu Tingting looked at Xia Xinyan curiously. She was not the only one as all the other three guys including Allen turned at her.

“If I’m not mistaken, Sister Mulan was sent into the Sixth Domain, not because of an accident but a ploy—it’s probably Lan Ling ‘er’s…”

"Ohhh?"

"Now that you mention it..."

"That's kinda brutal... even I myself would surely explode if that happened to me~"

“Interesting,” said Allen as he heard Xia Xinyan’s words, his eyes shining coldly. “I had saved her in a passing but now… Si Mulan is considered my people, and I wouldn’t hesitate to cause war for her…”

"Ha ha ha, ain't that right~" Next to Allen, Xie Fang who was standing beside Allen, smiled as he looked at Lan Ling ‘er who was being pushed even harder by Si Mulan who was in a fury mode.

Xie Fang chuckled then looked thoughtfully at Lan Ling ‘er for a moment, then turned to Allen. “What will you do now, boss?”

The other surrounding three naturally looked over at the strange scene, their eyes glittering. They were now no longer chatting as they turned at Allen, waiting for his decision.

Dawn…

If one looks closely at the left hands of the four people, they would surely see identical rings yet with different Japanese characters engraved on it.

Allen was obviously wearing a purplish-grey color ring on his right thumb—[ Zero (零) ] ( Rei )

Si Mulan was also the purple colored ring but was placed on her left thumb—[ Stand (立)] (Tachi )

Xie Fang was the yellow colored ring on his left ring finger—[ Blade (刃)] ( Ha )

Xia Xinyan was the white colored ring located on her right middle finger—[ Bright (明)] ( Akira )

Yu Tingting was the red ring on her right ring finger—[ Heart (心)] ( Kokoro )

And lastly, Zhao Shen was the green colored ring on his right little finger which was the engraved by the character of strength—[ Strength (力)] ( Chikara )

… They are Allen’s own characters of Akatsuki…!

This was the Dawn Organization; Allen had made to face the constant changing of the Celestial Realm. It was just made in passing but Allen had made this organization for one purpose. Though, he made some modifications, especially in the rings to suit the rings to their owner's characters!

*** ***

Lan Ling ‘er could never have imagined that she would run into Si Mulan in this place. Although she never thought that Si Mulan would die in the sixth domain—obviously, she didn’t want it to happen as her only goal for sending her to the sixth domain was to obstruct her from going into the Passing Cloud Sect. But who would have expected that she would survive and even become stronger than before…?

Her face instantly fell.

It surely is that youth’s doing…!

Si Mulan’s rapid advance and even her combat prowess seemed to have grown in an incredible level in just less than a month—and she would never believe that Si Mulan would attain it with just her own efforts!

It might be possible if it was that monster, Si Louxi. But Si Mulan...? She would need quite a long time to acquire this kind of power!

Lan Ling 'er grimaced. Her opponent has yet to use any kind of items and yet she has already almost consumed all the life-saving method she and her family prepared beforehand for her!

This is really unbelievable!!

However, the more shocked she was, the more difficult she found it to believe.

“Cheater!” thought Lan Ling ‘er. “This b*tch is a cheater! Otherwise, she could never surpass me by this much!? How are other people supposed to survive!?!?” Her eyes were wide and sweat poured down her forehead.

She looked like she was about to cry as she jumped backward.

However, suddenly, as she glared at her savior(?), she suddenly noticed the looks being given to her by the five other people that were present in the vicinity, who in her view were already dead, caused the sense of deadly crisis within her to climb to the pinnacle.

What’s happening…?!

Without a skip in a beat, like an enraged monster, Si Mulan swung her sword and continued her onslaught.

Lightning arcs and ice spikes and spears flew towards Lan Ling ‘er who desperately avoided it.

"This lunatic..."Lan Ling ‘er frantically lifted her sword as well and block the incoming attacks.

So fast…!!?

White blade reflected light directed at her from behind, Lan Ling ‘er abruptly reposted with sword.

Ding!

The sword cut through the blade of the enemy’s sword but Lan Ling ‘er used this glimpse of opportunity to leap away. Her breaths ragged and her expression darkened.

“I won’t forget this, Si Mulan!!” Lan Ling ‘er groaned hatefully.

She slaps his storage pouch and a sword flew out from the pouch. After a spin, the flying sword lay still in the air and Lan Ling ‘er then jumped over it and the flying sword immediately flew away at an incredible speed.

“Ha! Your clan really treasured you Lan Ling ‘er, to even give you a magical item of this caliber… but do you think can run away…?!” Si Mulan cried out hysterically.

Si Mulan’s body emitted intense lightning sparks and like a bullet, her body shot towards Lan Ling ‘er. Although it was a flying sword, refined by at least an Emperor Realm, Si Mulan’s control in her lightning energy was now extremely sharp compared to before due to Allen’s help—besides, with Allen teaching her some combat technique that she hadn’t seen before, especially incredible movement techniques using lightning energy. Si Mulan’s speed was incredibly faster than any other similar level of cultivator!

“Did I give you permission to leave!!?” Si Mulan’s body turned into a flash as she madly chased towards Lan Ling ‘er.

“You’re so persistent!!”

“I had already said I will make you pay for what you owe me!!”

“Then, what do you want to do? Kill me?”

“Heh, that might not be a bad suggestion!” After saying that, suddenly Si Mulan’s body crackled and then disappeared, only to reappear in front of the Flying Sword.

“You!!?” Seeing her sudden appearance, Lan Ling ‘er’s eyes widened in shock! How could this be?!

“W, what kind of technique are you using?! I never heard that kind of speed—no, don’t tell me, Thunder God Step…?!” Lan Ling ‘er’s body shook.

“That’s not possible! Thunder God Step is a Saint level technique! And was one of the few Saint ranked technique of the Passing Cloud Sect! How is it possible that you know of it and can even utilize it!!?”

“Thunder God Step? Ha! As long as I have my master, I don’t need that kind of technique!” While saying that, Si Mulan shot out one of her legs, directly kicking towards Lan Ling ‘er’s chest without mercy.

At the same time, the power of lightning energy roiled as they were exerted outwards from her leg.

A powerful force, forming the momentum of rolling mountains and rivers, was exerted by Si Mulan.

“Si Mulan!!!!” Lan Ling ‘er immediately realized that she wouldn’t be able to defend at this attack completely but she still tried and crossed her arms before her, with her right hand crushing a Jade bead—she didn’t want to lose her—although it pains her, still she doesn’t have a choice but to withdraw.

However, just as she was about to crash the jade Bead, as well as Si Mulan’s full powered kick, in that split of a moment, a figure suddenly appeared between them.

“Well, it’s heating up nicely~” A voice rang out and in an instant, Si Mulan’s kick was grasped by the figure’s hand while Lan Ling ‘er’s wrist was held as well.

The strength of the figure’s hand holding her wrist was extremely strong that her hand lost its power to completely crush the jade bead…

“Master!!” Si Mulan looks at the figure wide-eyed. Her fury instantly diminished.

Allen looked at Si Mulan smiled, “You’re too hot-headed. Fighting with emotions sometimes bring disaster, fortunately, you are stronger than her but what would if it was the opposite? You wouldn’t be able to win even a winnable battle…! Control your emotions well,”

“I, I’m sorry master…” Si Mulan’s body trembled and her extended leg slowly pulled out. Her hanging down in shame—she was indeed too drastic just now and let her emotions run wild…

No, this shouldn’t be blamed on her…!

While her head was hanged down, her eyes were glaring hatefully at Lan Ling ‘er’s direction. Anger and shame filled her head.

As for why she was extremely respectful and was even calling him master unlike the first time they met, it was because up until now, Si Mulan realized Allen’s true power. She seemed to have guessed that Allen’s power must be even above that of the Elders of the Passing Cloud Sect.

Because of that, she bugged Allen to become his disciple and teach her.

In the Divine Martial Continent, teacher and disciple was not a simple relationship—it was far greater than blood kin.

“You, what do you want?!” Lan Ling ‘er stared fiercely at Allen. However, her eyes were shifting from left to right, for some reason, she just can’t look at Allen’s eyes directly.

“Well, truthfully, saving you wasn’t really my intention back then, but it seems you have quite an interesting relationship with my disciple…” Allen smiled innocently, but the smile hadn’t reached his eyes.

“Eh?” Disciple? Si Mulan’s master is… Lan Ling ‘er was inwardly shocked but she immediately recovered. She had already somewhat guessed… but,

Someone this young…

A proud person like Si Mulan, the heaven daughter of the famous Si Clan, to lower herself in front of a man and call him a master…

Who is he?

“What do you want to do?! You, I am Lan Ling ‘er, Dao child of the Lan Clan of the Imperial family! You—!?”

“I don’t care who you are, even if you are the imperial princess or queen whatsoever, scheming against my disciple is something I won’t let by…”

Lan Ling ‘er paused for a moment. She then looked at Allen in alert without making a sound.

How arrogant…!

“It seems like you can talk big… but do you really know what you are saying?!”

“Of course, however, the problem right now… is you!” After saying that, electric sparks run through Allen’s arms.

"Ahhhhh!" The scream almost pierced his eardrums. Allen’s eyes twitched.

Lan Ling ‘er violently shook as her eyes turned white and foam was dripping out of her mouth. Then, in an instant, her unconscious body started falling from the sky.

“Master,”

Allen turned towards Si Mulan and noticed the latter’s complicated gaze. It seems that although she was saying that she wanted to kill her, this girl was still too soft…

“Don’t worry, I know my limits…” Allen waved as he carried Lan Ling ‘er body like carrying a cat.

“However, you might not care of it too much, but if I wasn’t there, you might have already suffered or worse died…”

“… …”

"What you are feeling right now is not bad. People living in revenge will always have a sorrowful life. However, People can have sympathy but you shouldn't give too much to sympathy." Allen said lightly.

"Thank you, master. I get it now." Si Mulan felt that she was like a little girl in front of Allen.

Allen smiled faintly; “Even still, I distinguished good from bad… thus, this girl will need to atone for what she did…”
