Chapter 46: Soaring Cloud City. “You made it out safely too? Thank god.” Yun Yantian heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Yao Jun appear next to him, quickly hurrying over to him. The Nine Heavens Sword Empyrean had told him that nothing would happen to Yao Jun, but that did not mean that he would not worry. He had only been with Yao Jun for a few days, but they had fought side by side and drunk the same wine. Yao Jun had saved his life a few times, and he had saved Yao Jun's life a few times. He also liked Yao Jun's personality and how he handled things. As far as he was concerned, they were already brothers. As he was looking at Yao Jun now, he felt that he had changed slightly. His hair still had the same purple streaks, and his eyes were still a ghastly gray, but there was an additional sharpness to him. The previous Yao Jun gave him the impression that he was the same as a neighborhood boy, but the current Yao Jun was like a demonic sword hidden away in it's scabbard. “It seems like you have managed to reap quite some benefits from this trip.” Seeing Yun Yantian come over, Yao Jun's lips curled into a slight smile as he scanned over Yun Yantian's body. Yun Yantian's aura was more contracted this time, gathered within his body. But Yao Jun could still feel the sharpness that his aura now contained. If he was not wrong, Yun Yantian had probably also managed to reach the early stage of the 1st Mortal Earth. “Indeed, but I sadly did not manage to awaken my power.” Yun Yantian spoke with a sigh and shook his head. He had also met with the residual thought of the Nine Heavens Sword Empyrean and learned about his own power and the seal on this world. After that, he was brought away and underwent a variety of tests focused on trying to awaken his power. In the end, he was unable to awaken his power, but he did manage to break through to the 1st Mortal Earth, as well as understand how to utilize his power better. “What are your plans now?” Yao Jun couldn't help but ask while they were moving away from the tower. They entered the tower because Yao Jun triggered the Anti-Demon Pillars of Great Xian city, so they could obviously not stay in the vicinity of the tower for too long. “I need to return to my clan, my brother was injured in an attack, so everyone has been called back to the clan for safety reasons.” Yun Yantian fondled his chin as he spoke. He had gotten the message from his clan while he was still within the tower. He was worried about his brother, so he was planning to return as fast as possible. “I see, then it seems like this is where we have to split up.” Yao Jun nodded his head to Yun Yantian's words. He enjoyed traveling with him, so he did not want Yun Yantian to leave just yet, but he could not be so selfish as to force him to stay there either. Yao Jun was also certain that he would also return as fast as possible if the got news that his family had been injured. “I will not leave just yet. My Yun family may not have too much of a presence on this continent, but that does not mean that we have nothing here. About two days to the west lies the Soaring Cloud City. My Yun family owns a large part of that city, I will take you there before leaving.” After he finished speaking, Yun Yantian did not waste any more time, immediately speeding up into a run. It was only about two days march to the west, but since he wanted to hurry home, he would obviously move as fast as possible. Yao Jun also did not waste any more time, he could see how much Yun Yantian wanted to go home. The two of them ran to the west in silence, hurrying as much as possible. Since they ran the entire way, it only took them slightly longer than one day to reach the gates of Soaring Cloud City. Running for an entire day was impossible for normal people, but Yao Jun and Yun Yantian were not normal people after all. Running for an entire day was still tiring, but it was still something manageable for them. Soaring Cloud City was surrounded by walls, but unlike the metal walls that surrounded Great Xian City, the walls surrounding Soaring Cloud City were only made out of wood. They were only made out of wood, but the Protective Array inscribed on them made them just as strong as steel. There were no Anti-Demon Pillars standing outside the gate, so even Yao Jun could easily enter the city. The buildings in the city were made out of a type of white stone that gave the entire city a clean and refreshing atmosphere. “This Soaring Cloud City is owned by my Yun clan as well as the Guo Clan. The eastern part belongs to us, while the western part belongs to them. This central area is neutral territory for merchants.” Yun Yantian quickly introduced the city to Yao Jun before fishing out a purple jade pendant from his chest. The jade pendant was completely smooth and round, the word 'Yun' carved into it. “You can use this pendant and my name at any location that belongs to my Yun clan and they will give you everything for free. I won't promise that we have all the information you need, but just finding some information on how to travel between the nearest continents won't be too much for a problem.” Yun Yantian pressed the jade pendant into Yao Jun's hands and explained it's uses. After that he took a step back and cupped his hands to Yao Jun and spoke in a solemn voice. “I may not have known you for long, but I still consider you a brother. Once I have returned home and everything has calmed down, I will come search for you again. The pendant also works as a Transmission Jade so if you ever encounter any trouble, you can use the pendant to send a message to me and I will come to your aid.” After finishing his words Yun Yantian pulled out another piece of jade from his interspatial ring. He crushed the jade and his entire body was surrounded by a thick stream of energy. After the energy gathered around him, his body flickered for a short instant before disappearing. Yao Jun had read about this type of jade before, it was called a Transportation Jade. It was a miniature Spatial Array that was infused with a certain amount of energy. Crushing it would instantly teleport the holder to the place that the jade specified. Since Yun Yantian was willing to use this to return, it was clear just how serious the situation was. While Yao Jun was sighing and heading deeper into the city, a shadow located not far from him flickered and disappeared. After the shadow disappeared, it re-appeared inside a mansion located at the west side of town. The shadow quickly turned into a kneeling man clad in a black robe. Not far from the kneeling man sat a white clothed youth calmly reading through some papers. The white clothed youth had exquisite and soft features, a pair of limpid brown eyes, and long black hair tied up into a bun. He looked like an untainted immortal that had come to visit this mortal earth. “Young master, Yun Yantian has left the city.” The black robed person was kneeling to the white clothed youth and spoke with deep respect. “Do we have any information about the person he brought with him?” The white robed youth did not look up from the papers as he responded to the black robed figure. “We have no records of him, but he is only at the early stage of the 1st Mortal Earth, so he is not a threat.” “Does he hold any significance to Yun Yantian?” Once he heard that the youth was just at the 1st Mortal Earth, the white robed youth almost lost all interest. But once he thought about how it was Yun Yantian who brought him along, he reminded himself that this person was probably not so simple. “Yun Yantian gave him the Yun Emblem, so he should be of a rather high importance. Yun Yantian also called him a brother.” The black robed person did not dare tarry, immediately re-telling everything that he had seen and heard. Once the white robed youth heard that Yun Yantian had even given away the Yun Emblem, he could not help but be slightly shocked. The Yun Emblem was the mark of the future patriarch of the Yun Clan, it's significance could not be underestimated. “I see. Capture him and bring him to the dungeon. Tell Guo Zhe to take good care of him.” The white robed youths mind moved at full speed. Quickly making up his mind, he immediately gave the order. That person was probably innocent, but they could not risk it. “Yes, Young master.” The black robed person quickly nodded his head, his figure quickly blurring and vanishing from the room, heading out to fulfill his orders. “Haah, Yun Yantian, do not blame me for this, you are the ones who have forced us to go this far.” The white robed youth sighed as he looked at the papers. He did not like involving innocent people in the fight between the Guo and Yun clan, but some sacrifices were necessary if they wanted to grow larger.
