BXBX NOVEL Chapter 281 Completely Barren
Liu Feng and Liu Man were in the wind. Their mount below them, they crossed the city in just minutes, and they soon saw the same plains that they saw when they came here.
"It feels so wrong, just leaving as fast as we came." Liu Feng mused as he looked at the city that was now distant.
"Fate does not want the stage to be set now. It wants us to be ready later. And that means that we have to go elsewhere." Liu Man said.
"You are right." Liu Feng nodded as they continued forward. They looked in the direction that they were traveling, and could see nothing in sight. It was like a barren area.
The path to every sect at least had taverns and small towns on the way, because any town would thrive with a big sect next to it.
And yet, there was not even a man in sight. This was too suspicious. The only thing that Liu Feng knew about the Moon Pavilion was that it was one of the seven biggest sects, and that it was ranked second until the Sky Heavens sect crossed it.
That meant that before Li Tian took over the Sky Heavens sect, it was the second biggest sect, and an undeniable first outside the capital city, if the outskirts weren\'t considered the capital.
"We are almost here, Young Masters." the mount that they were on sent a message to Liu Feng and Liu Man. This mount also had spirituality and was able to communicate with humans. But it was not strong enough to actually take human form.
They looked forward to look at the Moon Pavilion and see it in its full glory. And yet they could not see anything. It was still barren. But in the sky, Liu Feng could see a few dots in the distance. Someone else from the opposite side of the kingdom was coming here.
That could only mean that they were in the right place.
The mount landed on the ground as if this barren place was the entrance. Liu Feng and Liu Man could do nothing except getting off now.
They looked around with confusion.
"Where the hell are we? How do we enter?" Liu Feng asked.
"Forgive me, Young Masters, but I do not know. The only thing that I was instructed to do was to drop you here. I do not know what to do now." the mount shook his head.
"We are here. The sect is also here." Liu Man suddenly said, looking forward.
"What do you mean?" Liu Feng asked. The direction that Liu Man was looking forward had nothing in it. There was just the same landscape. The exact same landscape.
Liu Man pointed up, to the sky. There was a dot approaching them. But the dot was still there, the same place that it was when they saw it a few minutes ago. It was not nearer, or farther away.
"This is just a screen." he said as he put his hand forward, and all of a sudden, the space in front of them twisted, and the scenery in front of them warped wherever Liu Man\'s hand flew.
Liu Feng was surprised. He did not even sense the presence of a screen in front of him. And that was when he was in the Soul Evolution Stage!
How did the Moon Pavilion have a smokescreen so good that they could avoid even Soul Evolution Stage cultivators?
But one thing was certain. Every sect knew where they were based, so the screen had more features than just make the sect invisible. It might have a few defensive features.
"What do we do? Just force out our pressures so that whoever is outside will come out? I mean, two Soul Evolution Stage cultivators outside, surely they will give us a little attention." Liu Feng smiled as he kept looking at the screen.
He had no idea what was inside and spreading his divine sense in might endanger him though.
Liu Man nodded and he glared at the screen in front of him. All of a sudden, the screen started rippling, with the center of the ripple exactly in front of Liu Man.
Liu Feng could feel a terrifying pressure emanating from Liu Man. This was the true power of a White Tiger.
The screen was vibrating even more, and at a point on it, Liu Feng saw a slight crack, but the crack healed itself immediately.
"Mercy! Why are these two guests here with the Moon Pavilion today!" a silent voice stopped Liu Man.
He glared up at the empty screen. This voice came from inside, but there was no face to correspond with the voice.
"Why do you think that we are here?" Liu Man said coldly.
"The Moon Princess will choose her partner within the younger generation, masters. Even though you might look young, the Moon Princess has already decided that she would only choose a partner within the younger generation." the voice said.
"Don\'t you think it is a little disrespectful, not showing us your face?" Liu Feng asked. He glared at the screen.
"Forgive us, masters." the voice said, still gentle.
A thin black line appeared on the screen, and it went down all the way to the bottom, and all the way to the sky! It appeared as though it went all the way up to the heavens.
Then, it started to expand, until the black line suddenly expanded to create a door, and they were able to peek inside. This seemed like a proper sect from what little they saw before they looked at the person at the center of the door, hovering in the air.
It was an old woman, calm and gentle, looking at them.
"You misunderstand us, senior. We are here to participate in the event." Liu Feng smiled as he took out his Core Sect identity token.
