Ace Of Terrans

The award ceremony came to an end, and Shi Lang was taken to gathering hall. He was sitting beside Hou Bing with the rest of the elders sitting across them. Hou Bing looked at the elders and said, "In the coming days, some people from the other three continents will come over to the East. They wish to enshrine their Supreme here and earn divine sacrificial tribute from us. The reason they are doing this is to push the breakthrough of that person to the sage level."

Sect Leader of the Heavenly Maiden Peak asked, "Your Holiness, is it wrong for them to do so? After all, the other person is a supreme."

Hou Bing nodded and replied, "Yes, it is wrong, because that man is not eligible. He failed the second round of tribulation and took an year to finish the first cycle. There are grades among Supremes. That monk is not qualified to receive tribute from all the land and human kin. You all know how erratic the Ten Thousand Race battlefield has become in these past few years, right?"

The people nodded, and the Leader of the Miwa Family asked, "Your Holiness, what shall we do?"

Hou Bing replied, "Seal the information about Xiao Lang, but at the same time reveal it to them that the eastern continent has a Supreme as well. Do not reveal any information about Shi Lang's cycle realm but entice conflict."

Shi Lang looked at her with a side glance and everyone was surprised as well, they did not expect her to say something like this. The Terran asked, "Hou Bing, you want me to fight that guy?"

Hou Bing nodded and the Terran replied, "How about we take the charge of the situation?"

The Phoenix raised her brow and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Shi Lang shrugged and replied, "It is simple, break his shrines. Disturb his tributes, and anyhow, I have to go to the west some time. This way I will have his attention. As for the situation here, you can seal off the eastern continent. Or the sects with your strength. Make them off limits, so even if those people come over, it would not be a big deal. He will be forced to take action and I will face him."

Hou Bing shook her head and replied, "That is too simple."

Shi Lang smiled and replied, "Xiao Bing, the straightest and the simplest sword cuts the deepest. That guy has made a network of vines and every vine is connected to him. We need to use the shearers otherwise the wild growth will swallow us all."

The elders were getting anxious when they saw Shi Lang talking so intimately with Hou Bing. She was a Holy beast, the queen of them all, the entity that could kill them all with a snort. Yet, there was Shi Lang talking so frankly and even calling her names.

The Phoenix pinched her chin and began to think. None of the elders made a noise, suddenly Hou Bing said, "Shi Lang, you should go to the Dao Plain, and use it as the means to visit the other continents and raid that bastard."

Her expression did not look dignified, and Shi lang smiled as he said, "Isn't that the same thing I just said?"

Hou Bing snorted and then returned to calm, she looked at the leader of the Miwa family and said, "We will need the most talented guide of the Miwa Family to lead him through."

The old man nodded with a smile and said, "The best guide in the younger generation is Nova. Your Holiness, may I ask, why not an older and experienced person?"

Hou Bing shook her head and replied, "They would not be able to keep up with Xiao Lang's thought process. This guy is an enigma."

The elders were surprised to see Hou Bing holding Shi Lang in such an high opinion. Suddenly, Shi Lang asked, "Elders, may I ask if you wish to do anything about the three houses?"

The elders were not surprised when he asked this question but they could not bring themselves to answer either. Shi Lang looked at their faces and said, "Being compassionate towards fellow humans is a good thing, however, raising a snake with wild ambition is not."

Hall Master Yan looked at his counter parts and said, "I agree with him. Everyone in the world has ambition, and I am not against that. However, the three houses have left no bottom line. They use the strength of their elders to kill the talented young people. My Martial Spirit Hall has suffered significant lose, even my in-name disciple was killed by them."

Shi Lang was surprised by this disclosure. Hall Master Yan continued, "I wonder if we should jointly declare their dismissal from the seven big powers?"

The sect master of the Guardian Sect looked at his counter parts and said, "Today, when I saw the way, they were behaving under the leadership of Situ Tian Hu, I am sure that we can be better without them. So, I second your decision."

The elders began to discuss the issue at greater lengths. They were aware of the crimes that the Three Houses have committed in the name of the being strong. Their young people could not keep up with the rest of the people.

Hall Master Yue of the Broken Moon Hall, who had been quite throughout the discussion said, "The problem is that the older generation has corrupted the Younger Generation of the Three Houses. They no longer have firm foundation, thanks to the spoon-feeding resources. In the world of cultivation realm does not mean everything."

The elders nodded and Shi Lang asked, "Hall Master Yue, what do you think we should do?"

The lady turned to look at him and said, "I have the same idea as you, abolish their status, and slay the corrupt elders to reform the younger generation."

Shi Lang nodded when Sect Master Gang of the Guardian Sect asked, "What will we do about the ones who bear grudge? They will come and attack us in the future. We cannot go on to raze them completely."

Hall Master Yue said, "I have news, there are some people who are competent enough to know the right from wrong. They have gathered their own forces. We only need to declare that the Three Houses are no longer recognized and the people who are already waiting for a chance will take action. We do not have to dirty our hands at all."

The people were surprised and Shi Lang remarked, "It seems that I have been underestimating the reach of your network, Hall Master Yue. I have learned."

Lady Yue had her face covered with a veil but her eyes revealed a spark of happiness.

Leader Miwa said, "Since it has been decided, we shall make the announcement as well."

The people nodded and they left the meeting hall. Only Shi Lang and Hou Bing were sitting inside and the young man lay on the table with his eyes closed. Hou Bing asked, "Are you very tired from the duel?"

Shi Lang nodded and replied, "Yes, that guy was hard to beat. His shields were amazing and even more bizarre to handle than any other opponent, and just so you know, that guy was about to attack me with that fucking vortex. My Dao weapons would have been reflected had I let him do that."

Hou Bing heard him ranting and smiled faintly. She said, "Leave Hao Mei and Yu Xeidi in the care of Cao Ming. I will check on them and they will learn better. You have too many things to do to stay with them."

Shi Lang clenched his fists and asked, "Dao Plain prohibits communication?"

Hou Bing nodded and said, "Yes, it does, however, you would be able to talk to them when you come out to another continent."

Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I will leave the children under the care of Shi Tao. They all are better together. Tao would be alone after I leave."

Hou Bing sighed and said, "Lang, it is all relative."

Shi Lang nodded and replied, "I know it is, but I have always felt bad for not giving my daughter enough love and time."

The Phoenix sighed; she did not want to say anything about this because eventually things will sort out on their own.

…

Outside in the city, the five elders stood in the void, and the leader of the Miwa family took the lead, "Today, it has been decided that the Three Houses would no longer have a similar status as the Two sects and two halls. The decision was made after the crimes and the disgraceful actions of the Three Houses were brought to light. The Tian Jiao Hall will be making every detail public in the coming few days."

This sent out a wave of shock among the people as they did not expect something like this to happen. The Three Houses will fall after this.
