Getting a Sugar Mommy in Cultivation World!!-Chapter 228 Long Chen’s Changes! Shenwei’s hidden Intelligence!
The patch that was cleared by the people from the sects made the forest look simple, but the truth was far from it. The forest had a very complex structure; without proper guidance, one may lose themselves in it.
The towering trees and barely visible sunlight falling from the sky did not help in the slightest!
Because of the natural terrain advantage, the people from the three sects had the natural advantage of hiding themselves inside of it.
All three sects had their forces under them and the followers stationed in different corners. It was not just the people from the Soaring Heaven Sect who were gathering followers in secret. The rest also had equally formidable followers from the nearby cities around their sect.
Just like everyone else, the three families from the Primal Dawn City were waiting for the signal from Lin Dan before making a move.
"How long do we have to keep hiding in this place?" A girl wearing the Long family robes could not help but complain. Being pampered all her life, she could not stand such a boring task.
Had Noah been here, he would have recognized this girl; she was the same cousin of Long Tian's who was cursing at him while he was confronting Long Chen. freeweɓnøvel.com
"Don't move, or do you want to face the Clan leader's wrath?" Hearing the words of a boy similar to her age standing beside her, the girl trembled in fear. She sneakily cast some glances towards the man who was patrolling the area with two other men from the Xiao and Wang families.
The frail old man, with no emotions on his face, scanned the forest with his bloodshot eyes.
Ever since the death of his son, he had changed a lot and became a ruthless leader. Whoever broke the clan rules was subjected to painful and harsh punishments. In his anger, he killed all the female slaves and maids in their families. Those who went to brothels were given a warning; if they continued, they would follow after Long Tian, the shame of the family.
The old man was not doing anything better; his health also deteriorated in grieving. It was like grief caused him to age even faster than before. But despite all of that, the aura around him did not diminish at all; instead, it became cold and ruthless.
He tried to find the reason for the death of his son, and all the doctors told him that he took the pleasure too far and used some kind of technique to increase the pleasure. They could not tell how many rounds he went on for, but they all said he died of pleasure!
After hearing that news, Long Chen was so angry that he killed all the doctors. He tried to contact his other son, but there was no news of him. It was like he was not even in the empire.
Besides these three families, there were also other small forces from other cities present in the area.
In total, five families were supporting The Soaring Heaven Sect.
Just as they were continuing their duties, a talisman in Long Chen's hand glowed before the familiar voice of the sect leader Lin Dan sounded from it. Your journey continues on m v|l--novelbuddy.net
"Retreat to the sect; we are bringing a fish in the trap. Stay hidden in the main hall and wait for further instructions."
Hearing those words, the leaders of their respective clans exchanged glances with each other before announcing the retreat. They all used their modes to rush away from this place.
Their destination… The Soaring Heaven Sect!

"Why are we making our forces retreat?" one of the leaders of the Wild Serpent sect asked their sect leader because he gave the order in front of him. "Are we not going after the boy?"
Hearing the elder's words, Jiang Feng did not say anything but looked at Shenwei, as if he wanted the boy to explain.
Xu Shenwei also understood that Jiang Feng was testing him. He wanted to see if he really had a good understanding of tactics.
"There are two reasons why Sect Master is ordering the retreat. The first obviously is the woman, who has the power to wipe out the whole Empire. Their relationship is more than close. They seem to know each other very well. We don't know what lengths they might go to just to take revenge for them."
Hearing his explanation, the elders nodded in understanding, but they also believed that they could simply test the waters before acting on their own.
"The second reason is that the sect master of the Soaring Heaven Sect is testing the danger for us. He is taking them back to his sect. The reason is simple; he thinks the lotus is in his hands. Am I right, Sect Master?"
Now the elders were happy that Shenwei was the perfect choice of the Chief disciple.
Xu Shenwei noticed that the smile on Jiang Feng's face widened as he opened his mouth to respond.
"You can now call me master!" His words caused a series of gasps to occur among the crowd, but they thought it was natural for him to be the sect master's disciple.
"I greet Master!" Without showing any excessive emotions, Shenwei bowed to Jiang Feng, who nodded before continuing.
"What you said is true, but there is also another reason. If you don't understand it now, it's fine. You will eventually know it in the future." Saying this, he turned to look in the direction the disciples of the Frozen Heart Sect were walking towards their crane to leave.
His eyes flashed with a light that only Shenwei saw. He did not tell it out in the open, but he did know the third reason, but he chose to keep it to himself. He knew that if he showed more intelligence, Jiang Feng would raise his guard against him.
And the fact that he had a better understanding of the technique than Jiang Feng would be exposed!
