Chapter 425: Thundercloud Sect

The Dian Clan were one of the most prominent members of the Thundercloud Sect. Their clan had been sending descendants to the Sect for many generations and dozens if not hundreds of their experts had been born from the clan. With such power, they of course were the leading family in the city that neighbored the Thundercloud Sect. As a first rate power, the Thundercloud Sect ran the whole Flying Wind Province and the Dian Clan was a major player in their provincial capital. The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.

This is going to be far more troublesome than I thought it would be.

Given Dian Huifangs level, he figured it would cause trouble when she told her family that she had decided to live out her life taking care of a bunch of bug people. Who in their right mind would be happy about having a Nascent Soul just leave forever? It wasnt uncommon for a Cultivator to disappear for years or even decades at a time training themselves in remote and unusual locations. It was also the reality of the Cultivator world that people would die pursuing treasures or fighting their enemies. It was another thing entirely for them to tell you they were going to leave forever, voluntarily. Especially for such a ridiculous reason.

The Airship touched down outside of the aptly named Thundercloud City. It was something of an insult to fly over cities and settlements, looking down upon the residents from above, even though most who could fly were Nascent Souls. Even for people at the height of power, it was an extremely simple gesture of respect and also personal safety. What if there happened to be a new Nascent Soul in a city the cultivator flew over? Was it worth picking a fight because they didnt want to waste a few seconds going around?

The unusual vessel gained them a lot of attention and it wasnt long before a large group of city guards led by a squad wearing the uniform of the Thundercloud Sect had approached them. With so many people watching, Sage didnt dare to put the Airship back away into the Universe Ring or his Inner World as he preferred to keep such treasures hidden. Instead, he was happy to explain to those approaching about the Airship. Even if he wasnt a great businessman, even he knew not to pass up on perfectly good advertising opportunities.

This is called an Airship! Its a new product that will soon be sold by Thousand Treasures. Just think of it as a budget Flying Ship. If a Flying Ship is a palace, then the Airship is a normal house. Even the most humble house can still be a home. So, it may not be as large and luxurious as a Flying Ship, but an Airship can still fly! With an Airship, the dream of traveling through the skies isnt only for the most rich and powerful.

The guards seemed quite excited. Though they were cultivators, they were only of the second and third rank. Most of them had already reached the peak of their potential and while theyd seen Flying Ships before such things were far out of their reach. Only members of the most rich and powerful Sects and Clans ever had the privilege of traveling on one. Even then, only the most important people in those groups ever got to own a Flying Ship. Sage was pretty sure the dream of flying through the sky was pretty universal for most humans. At least unless you grew up underground, or were afraid of heights.

After doing some advertising, the Thundercloud Sects people stopped examining the strange vehicle and thats when Sage introduced Dian Huifang. She showed off her Clan Badge and the Thundercloud Sect nodded and reduced their vigilance. The Airship and its thousand flying guards had been quite the spectacle and they had to make sure it wasnt a threat. After Huifangs identity was confirmed, Sage left the thousand Dragoons with the Airship and went along with her. Songji insisted on accompanying them, taking in the sights of Thundercloud City. She led them around sampling the various street vendors' foods and buying trinkets and accessories.

Huifang, please show me all the best places in Thundercloud City!

Huifang ignored the question and instead she bluntly changed the topic, I am here to say my goodbyes. I will likely never return to the Clan again. I wanted to thank Uncle Rong for taking such good care of me for so many years.

The mans face suddenly darkened, What? What happened? What are you talking about, girl? Are you in trouble? Whos after you? Are you dying?

He rapidly covered many options, his concern making him flustered and anxious. Dian Huifang, on the other hand, was completely calm. She even dropped down to her knees and bowed low, bringing her forehead to the ground, kowtowing in front of the even more confused man.

Girl, stop it! Youre scaring me. It sounds like youre going to your death, stop messing around!

She kept her head on the ground, I can only offer my thanks for your guidance and support, Uncle. Please forgive me for not living up to your high hopes. Please accept my apology.

I cant accept unless you tell me what is going on!

Dian Huifang didnt lift her head, Uncle, I have already promised not to leave this man.

Immediately, Uncle Rongs eyes shifted to Sage and he felt a thunderous pressure filling the room.

Why did she have to go and say it like that?
