Ace Of Terrans - Chapter 744 Cleansing Rain.

Chapter 744 Cleansing Rain.

?Shi Lang spent one night in the Asura Hall reviewing all the preparations. The teams were familiar with how things must work and had performed many drills to become increasingly efficient.

The Terran gave them all a mission briefing, in which he explained the layout of the Zhu Mansion and then the strength of the Zhu Family. He also asked his price disciple to prepare a large amount of spirit decay poison. Xiao Mei was surprised, but she did as told. N0vel–Biin hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

She was about to remind Shi Lang that this poison could also be fatal to them, but Shi Lang asked her to make antidotes for all the people inside the hall. He was sure that the strong people of the Zhu Family would detect the poison and take action against them. So, he came up with a suicide plan.

It was not as if he wanted his people to die, but this was the only way for them to take down the Zhu Family. The squad leaders did not flinch, but they all nodded with a smile. Shi Lang mumbled, “I had no idea they were mad like me.”

Xiao Mei looked at her Master and chuckled as she covered her mouth. Shi Lang said, “Since you all agreed, let’s go. You will have to infiltrate the city on your own. I do not intend to use the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion’s region of influence for this.”

The people agreed, and Shi Lang opened a void portal outside the city. The big players of the Asura Hall were on the verge of breaking through, so they did not manage to come back, but they all wished Shi Lang well.

The Terran thanked them in return. He could not ask them to return because he had told them to go out and push their limits. The squad leaders took their positions and began discussing infiltrating the city.

Shi Lang did not tell them anything. He only held Xiao Mei’s hand and walked to the city gates. The lightning mane horse seemed to be in seclusion, so Shi Lang did not bother bringing him over; another thing was that the spiritual beast king was crucial for their backup and protection of the Asura Hall.

The guards spotted Shi Lang and were urged to stop him, but they all stepped back when they looked at the token on his waist. The ending of the former guard leader was still fresh in their minds. This guy was a plague god in their eyes.

Shi Lang held Xiao Mei’s hand and led her inside the city. They were headed to the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion. The little girl had never come out of the small town or the Asura Hall. The maximum time she spent outside was in Qilin City, so she was very curious about this new place.

As they passed the market, Shi Lang bought her all the herbs she fancied. What surprised Shi Lang was that this little girl could bargain with the vendors. She reminded him of his mother, and he shook his head with a smile. As they moved through the crowd, Shi Lang asked, “Xiao Mei, how are you doing? Also, do you have any issues with your cultivation?”

Xiao Mei replied with a smile, “Master, I am good. The people back home treat me nicely. I miss my brother sometimes. I hope to visit him soon. As for my cultivation, it is all fine, Master. When I have trouble in martial arts, Xiao Yu helps me.”

Shi Lang sighed and said, “I sometimes feel that it was not right for me to take you both in as a disciple. I do not have the time to sit down and groom you both. What if you feel like I am neglecting you?”

He wanted to say more. It was his guilt from the time he missed the good days with Shi Tao that were coming back to him. However, the little girl held his hand and said, “Master, do you think XMaster and I are so selfish? When you took us in, that was your kindness. You supported us when we had nothing, and not only that, you pointed the direction of our future path. You do not have to worry about having time for us. We know that cultivation is arduous, so please do not worry.”

Shi Lang could not help but pick the girl in his arms as they walked into the city. They reached the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion, and the guards sighed at his arrival. One of the guards said, “Young Master, Pavilion Master has been hunting for you.”

Shi Lang raised his brows and asked, “What happened that made him hunt for me?”

The person shrugged and said, “I only know Elder Yao was scolded.”

Shi Lang winced and quickly entered the pavilion. He found the entire place in disarray. He looked at a maid disciple and said, “Sister Yen, can you tell the Pavilion Master I am back?”

The maid disciple froze, and then she ran away yelling, “The Young Master has returned. The Young Master has returned.”

Xiao Mei asked, “Master, are you some sort of a god?”

She was not that gullible, but she could not understand why these people were so agitated. Also, she was teasing Shi Lang. The Terran glared at her fairy-like face and said, “No, Xiao Mei, Master is not a god but a demon.”

The girl pretended to be scared and asked, “What kind of demon?”

Shi Lang let out a devilish chuckle and said, “The one who likes to tickle little children.”

Xiao Mei froze, and then Shi Lang tickled her, making her laughter echo in the pavilion like jingle bells. Yang Tie suddenly appeared before Shi Lang, and just when he wanted to say something, he froze. Shi Lang stopped teasing the child as the latter leaned on his shoulder. He asked, “Why are you looking for me? Can you not handle your temper? Hmph, what is the fuss about?”

Yang Tie was pacified; he had acted paranoid since the previous night. Shi Lang’s scolding brought him back to reality. He said, “Out of two hundred metals, I was able to make three suitable candidates for the communicator body.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “You can proceed on this topic with your ideas. I have something else to deal with tonight. This can wait till then.”

Yang Tie was surprised but saw a little girl in Shi Lang’s arms. The Terran said, “This is my disciple Xiao Mei. She will stay with me for a few days. Do not worry. My courtyard has a lot of vacant rooms.”

Yang Tie nodded, and Shi Lang introduced the little girl to him. Xiao Mei was very polite and gentle by nature, and it did not take her long to subdue the people in the pavilion. Elfie had become a good friend of hers.

Shi Lang went to his room and waited for nightfall. He stood at the door of his room and suddenly said, “The god seemed to be helping me.”

Xiao Mei handed him a few bottles of pills and said, “Master, the antidote.”

Shi Lang took a pill and patted her head. He said, “Later, you will stay on the outer parameter; do not go any closer. If things go wrong, I will have someone bring you back here. You will be safe.”

Xiao Mei was surprised and asked, “What about you master?”

Shi Lang smiled and said, “I will be fine, sweetheart. Come along, and it is about time.”

He left two clones inside the room and opened a void portal to travel to a dark alley in the city. They both were dressed in black cloaks with red trims. Their design was the simplest, but it represented the highest authority in the Asura Hall. Xiao Mei’s cloak had a cauldron embroidered for her status as an alchemist.

After they appeared in the alley, they covered their heads with hoods and jumped above the walls of the buildings beside them. Suddenly, the skies lit up with lightning streaks, and Shi Lang spotted many figures dressed in black cloaks standing atop the walls. He held Xiao Mei’s hand and went to the Zhu Mansion, running from roof to roof.

Soon, they came to the boundary of the Zhu Mansion. Shi Lang looked around and found that the entire mansion was surrounded. He sent out a message on the communicator, and half the people knelt on the walls as they took out their sniper rifles to scan the place.

Then, he sent another message to his ally, Zhu Lingxue. The lady told him that she was unable to convince anyone. The people all even thought that she was going crazy and that her ambition was misplaced. Shi Lang told her to stay in her room; no matter what she heard later, she was not supposed to come out.

Zhu Lingxue agreed, and it started raining. Shi Lang looked up at the sky and sent a message, “You all know what to do. Nature is aiding us in this mission. Let the rain cleanse the Zhu Family. Do not spare anyone who tries to harm you. Do you understand?”

The squad leaders sent him a positive message. Shi Lang assigned one of the snipers to look after Xiao Mei as he lept inside the mansion with the rest of the people. The Zhu Family was going to face a storm tonight.
