Chapter 212: Call Me Young Master From Now On

Xiang Shaoyun was finally out of the volcanic crater . He had stayed in the crater for 13 months in total—a long period of time . Now, he was already a 17-year-old young man . Back when he first joined the Martial Hall Palace, he was still only 15 years old . Two years had passed, and he had grown considerably since then .

His height had grown, and his physical body was much sturdier than before . His temperament had improved greatly as well . All those were the results of his hard work in cultivation .

From a weak and frail scholar, he had transformed into a peak seventh-stage Transformation Realm expert, a level high enough to accord him some sort of status as he wandered the world of cultivation .

Xiang Shaoyun did not go far from the Flame Mountain . He found a water source nearby and quickly washed up . After putting on a new set of clothes, he looked handsome and elegant enough to cause a maiden's heart to flutter at his sight .

"Finally, I see the sun again . This is such a refreshing feeling," said Xiang Shaoyun as he spread his arms and bathed under the sunlight .

Life in a lava pool for more than a year was incredibly dull . That period of time helped him further appreciate how beautiful the outside world was . Concurrently, Yun Flame was also transmitting a feeling of joy toward him . It could also sense the outside world, and it placed it in a great mood . Out here, it was able to absorb the power of extreme yang contained in the sunlight, which would only help it grow faster .

"Looks like you like the outside world as well . In the future, you will have the chance to witness even more wondrous sights," said Xiang Shaoyun .

He then sank into thought, pondering his next steps . He had to first look for Mo Mo and see if she was still waiting for him or if she had left . After that, he had to consider if he should bring Long Hui on his adventures . Leaving Long Hui in the Cloud Margin Pavilion to help gather news was an option as well . And after he was done with all that, he would continue doing whatever it took to grow stronger .

Xiang Shaoyun took a detour around the Flame Mountain and returned to the fringe of the mountain . When he arrived at the place where he separated with Mo Mo, he found that she was no longer there . Somewhat disappointed, he muttered, "Looks like even she thinks I am dead . "

Nevertheless, Xiang Shaoyun wasn't overly bothered . Mo Mo still wasn't important enough for him to go all melancholic over her .

"I'll think of my next step after a trip to Cloud Margin City," Xiang Shaoyun decided after giving it some thought .

But before that, he had to look for Long Hui and have a proper chat with him . Although Long Hui was now under Xiang Shaoyun's control, he was still able to act as before and think freely . The only difference was that he now had to obey Xiang Shaoyun's command .

Xiang Shaoyun returned back to the vicinity of the Flame Mountain . He would encounter the occasional cultivator on his way, but they mostly ignored him . Everyone assumed that he was yet another young man here to temper himself .

Along the way, he managed to overhear a lot of people talking about the fire on Flame Mountain suddenly extinguishing . When he heard that, he felt somewhat smug as he thought inwardly, Sorry guys, the millennium earthcore fire is already mine! 

After he arrived at a random remote corner, he summoned Long Hui .

Long Hui and Xiao Wenbo were both only here on a Cloud Margin Pavilion mission to watch over the area and to not allow any Kings to harvest the millennium earthcore fire . Normally, they would remain hidden . Regular Transformation Realm cultivators would not even realize that the two were there .

It did not take Long Hui long to arrive beside Xiang Shaoyun . With an unhappy look, he stared at Xiang Shaoyun and asked, "Are you the one who did that to me?"

Xiang Shaoyun gazed at Long Hui and smiled . "Surprised?"

"Die!" Long Hui suddenly attacked .

But the moment he thought of attacking, Xiang Shaoyun was notified . He immediately chanted the Nether Dragon Soul Curse's mantra . Numerous incorporeal symbols drifted toward Long Hui, and before he could even get near Xiang Shaoyun, he felt like his head was going to explode .

"Ahhhh!"

He clasped at his head and wailed . The terrible pain he was experiencing caused him to instantly collapse where he stood . Just like that, a sixth-stage Skysoar Realm King was tortured to the point he was rolling around on the ground . It was quite a sorry sight . Xiang Shaoyun felt no pity whatsoever . He only stopped when Long Hui started begging for mercy .

"If you dare think of harming me again, you will immediately explode and die," said Xiang Shaoyun indifferently .

"Y-yes, I-I won't dare to try that ever again," said Long Hui, fear covering his face .

After that experience, he was truly afraid of Xiang Shaoyun . The torturing of one's soul was a kind of torture nobody could resist .

"Get up . Call me young master in the future . I am your master, and my every word is the law for you . Disobedience is not an option," said Xiang Shaoyun .

"Yes, young master," Long Hui stumbled back up and said deferentially .

"Ok . Let's start with you . Tell me about yourself," Xiang Shaoyun said .

Thus, Long Hui told Xiang Shaoyun about himself, including his position in the Cloud Margin Pavilion . After listening to him, Xiang Shaoyun was overjoyed as he thought, A high-level elder of Cloud Margin Pavilion? Sixth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator? Not bad at all .

"Will there be a problem if I want you to leave with me immediately?" Xiang Shaoyun asked .

"There won't be a problem, but I need to report my departure to the pavilion," Long Hui said .

"I'm returning to Cloud Margin City anyway . Let's go back together, then," said Xiang Shaoyun . He added, "Oh, why don't you take me for a stroll at Cloud Margin Pavilion? You should have enough authority for that, right?"

"Yes, but only the outer pavilion . Only those with an official position in the pavilion can enter the inner pavilion," said Long Hui .

"Just show me around first," Xiang Shaoyun said .

Long Hui then left Xiao Wenbo a message before heading toward the Cloud Margin Pavilion with Xiang Shaoyun . The Cloud Margin Pavilion was located at a mountainous area outside the suburbs of Cloud Margin City .

This was a place with imposing mountains, lush forest, and rare plants growing everywhere . In fact, it was incredibly scenic . Numerous buildings were constructed on the mountain ridges . Shrouded among clouds, the buildings looked spectacularly imposing and wondrous .

Just the pedestrians alone made up no fewer than 10,000 people . Each of them were dressed in martial outfits, looking healthy and spirited, displaying the might of the Cloud Margin Pavilion .

This was how a tier-3 organization looked . Its size was not something regular organizations could compare with . In the eyes of the people here, this was an absolutely magnificent organization .

At present, Xiang Shaoyun had just arrived at the outer pavilion with Long Hui . He was only here to take a stroll, but surprisingly, he actually stumbled upon someone he knew . Moreover, that person seemed to have encountered some sort of trouble which caused the person to fume .
