Light Cultivation
Eps. 111 — Two Person Robed Tattoo
Jian Chen again swung his hand then the green chain appeared and curled Lily back up.
“Hey, hey, why did you catch me again?!” Lily shouted furiously.
“I don't know your true intentions, it could have been after I left here you took over my body.”
“Gosh, you're deaf or something, I have no evil intentions on you! If I was evil already I did it! Free me!”
Jian Chen sighed before finally letting go of the girl, although he felt doubt but he could see Lily speaking the truth. Most of the girl's strength was at the beginning of her cultivation, it wasn't difficult to defeat her if she betrayed.
“New first time there was someone who treated this beautiful Princess roughly, Hmph!”
Lily puffed her cheeks in annoyance before throwing her face away, the girl was really sulking at him for being treated harshly whereas the young man could only smile awkwardly.
If only the girl did not have a sharp speech and arrogant attitude maybe Jian Chen had fallen in love with the girl let alone seen her immeasurable beauty.
“Ehm! How can I get out in this realm?” Jian Chen scratched his head. Looking at his dark and vast surroundings without any size limits. “Lily, you can help me get out of here, maybe I can trust you a little if I help me?”
‘Calling my name is wrong, I am the Princess.’ The girl was muttering in her annoyance but was not shown to Jian Chen.
“You heard it?”
“Iya-iya, I heard it..” Lily snorted in annoyance. “You stay close your eyes.”
“Terus?”
“What continues? Just that, close your eyes then you'll get out of here.”
“Easy then?”
Jian Chen scratched his head then tried what Lily had told him, sure enough, ten seconds his eyes were closed he could feel his body re-sensing a cold sensation.
Jian Chen opened his eyes and found he had already returned in his inn room originally.
“How long have I been cultivating..” Jian Chen was surprised to see the day was already morning.
“Eight hours, time in the dantian realm and the real world are side by side so you don't jump time even though it's here.”
Lily's voice was heard by Jian Chen's ears but he did not see the girl's figure making Jian Chen confused looking for her.
“You don't have to look for me, I'm in your dantian.” Lily folded her arms around her chest, “Each of your sight and hearing is connected to my senses, so I can see everything you do.”
Jian Chen smiled awkwardly, “So how can I go back in there?”
“Simple, like before you have to close your eyes but with the intention to enter the dantian realm, by itself you can come back here.”.
From Lily's explanation, Jian Chen could understand that dantian realm was one's subconscious but could be controlled differently from dreamland.
Generally a swordsman could go to dantian realm if at a very high cultivation but Jian Chen's case was a unique thing.
The reason Jian Chen could enter now was because Lily forcibly withdrew Jian Chen's consciousness into it, which was why when she was intending to cultivate her body suddenly changed dimensions.
Jian Chen took a deep breath before taking it out slowly, for some reason his mind felt tired after getting a lot of information including about the original old man.
What Lily told him really made Jian Chen stunned, he explained if Jian Chen's parents were still alive then why he was abandoned when he was a baby.
After all this, Jian Chen would find out the origin of his still hidden self, it would probably take a very long time but he would try to find every answer.

A few days passed, the battle in the Jian clan immediately sounded to the entire Lightning Dragon Province. Many of the few clans were stunned to hear it especially the ones in the Qianshan Capital.
What shocked them was how an organization could possess such terrifying strength, matching the strength that came from the great clans.
This soon became a lesson for other clans to be aware of the organizations around them no matter if the organization was small or large before it became a real threat such as the war in the Jian clan.
Some organizations immediately stopped operating for a while and others hid themselves from the news because they did not want to be hunted by a clan.
The most impact occurred on the 4 large organizations that attacked the Jian clan, the Red Dove organization, the Skull King, the, The Black Temple and the Great Feather due to the failure of the attack they suffered heavy losses including its members who perished in the Jian clan.
At least they lost 20% of their strength due to the attack.
Hong Gao as the one who had the idea for the attack became the impeachment of the other three leaders because of this defeat. The reputation of his organization has declined drastically.
Hong Gao tried several times to persuade the other three leaders so that the alliance could survive but in vain, in the second of the failure of the attack the alliance was completely dissolved.
Many things that the old man thought, his desire to control the Lightning Dragon Province had been extinguished let alone hear the news of the Iron Hand that had died.
Hong Gao was now standing at one of his headquarters while looking at the dark night sky, the once in a while the old man sighed as the trajectory of memory passed through his mind.
“I heard that you were the mastermind of the attack, I must admit that your actions were completely reckless from our assumptions.”.
The sound of someone being heard made Hong Gao surprised then turned to the source of the voice. He found two black-robed people approaching him, both of them invisible because of the headscarf.
“Si...who are you?!” hong Gao's face paled, in just one look he could feel the strength of the two people far above him.
“Hm, we...” The two men smiled cynically before revealing his robe, revealing a tattoo on his body.
The tattoo of the person on the right has a snake-shaped carving while the other tattoo is in the shape of a pig.
Hong Gao's face turned increasingly white when he found out, it was no mistake that the tattoo symbolized the most dangerous organization in the entire Dragon Empire, the organization of the 12 Shio Hunters.
“Simply, we are not here to harm you..” One of the two smiled mockingly at the fear of Hong Gao, “Instead I want to help you to rule this province, didn't you dream of it?”
Hong Gao gulped before nodding softly, his body unable to stop trembling with great fear.
“I want you to form an alliance again, this time merge all the organizations that exist in Lightning Dragon Province, if they do not want to, you can sell our name.”
“Then what do you want from me?”
The two robed people looked at each other for a moment before chuckling, “Of course I am not helping you for free but take it easy I will ask for it when you are already in control of this province, for now I will help you first.”
Hong Gao did not understand the intentions of the two people in front of him but surely this was a great opportunity to achieve his dream.
With the two members of the 12 Shio Hunters on the side of his organization, it was not difficult to form an alliance that was much stronger than before.
Hong Gao silently smiled widely, although it had yet to materialize but he had already imagined how this province would become his later.
