“Thank you, Master. Viscount Pierce will give everything of myself to you!”

“Thank you, Master. Viscount Joyce will give everything of myself to you!”

Pierce and Joyce landed on the ground and gave Ling Yun a western-style bow after The Embrace.

They were different from Paul and Chester, who received The Embrace after following Ling Yun around for a few days. They underwent The Embrace while they were still in a hostile state with Ling Yun. Fear turned to shock, which then transformed into a splendid and complete surrender to Ling Yun. All of this happened within seconds. It had become an unforgettable memory for them.

“Why are you only Viscounts? You only improved by one rank? That shouldn’t be…”

Ling Yun couldn’t help but question it.

Pierce and Joyce had wings before The Embrace. According to Paul and Chester, Blood Clan members with wings were at least Barons. However, they had only reached Viscount rank after The Embrace. Ling Yun didn’t understand what was wrong.

Paul and Chester were the lowest ranking descendants of the Blood Clan without wings. They became Viscounts immediately, which meant they had jumped at least two ranks immediately.

Pierce and Joyce gazed at Ling Yun with gentle and elegant expressions. “Noble Master, in fact, we have the power and abilities of an Earl. However, the title of Earl has to be conferred onto us by at least a Grand Duke…”

Ling Yun smiled with realization. “Alright, we’ll discuss this after we go back…”

Many more masters from the Chen Family would be rushing there soon. Ling Yun’s True Qi was almost depleted, so he had to leave this place as soon as he could.

Ling Yun pointed to the immobile Chen Haizhen on the ground. “Can you fly as high as you did before if you’re carrying him?” Ling Yun asked.

“With ease, Noble Master…” Pierce and Joyce replied.

Joyce grabbed Chen Haizhen by his belt and lifted him up.

“Be careful, it’s best to carry him with both hands. This guy is still of use to me. Don’t let him drop down and die…” Ling Yun said.

“Noble Master, don’t worry. I’m faster than him falling to the ground even if his belt were to snap…” Joyce gave a graceful smile.

Joyce was confident that his diving speed would be faster than Chen Haizhen’s free fall.

Ling Yun stopped smiling. How long had it been since he had soared in the skies above? How could he have forgotten the feeling?

Qi Cultivation Level Four, the middle stage of Qi Cultivation. Ling Yun was suddenly filled with anticipation for Qi Cultivation Level Four. He could finally fly then.

“Noble Master, what about me? Your loyal servant Pierce will do anything for you!”

Pierce was slightly disappointed that he lost a chance to show off his loyalty to Ling Yun.

“Fly and keep your body parallel to the ground,” Ling Yun said.

Ling Yun jumped onto Pierce’s back in the next moment. “Fly up and leave this place!” Ling Yun instructed the two members of the Blood Clan.

The two human-sized bats flew under Ling Yun’s orders. They flapped their wings urgently and became two small dots against the night sky in no time.

The temperature dropped rapidly as they ascended higher. The wind speed and force were greater as well, but that didn’t bother Ling Yun in the least. He was already at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Nine!

Why did cultivators have to undergo Physique Tempering before the Qi Cultivation Stage? It wasn’t simply to be a good fighter.

The simplest example would be during flight.

The speed of flying was really fast, it would definitely be faster than any Qinggong. Of course, it was impossible to exceed the speed of sound in normal flight. However, it was already many times faster than the best sports car.

How would a normal human breathe at such a fast speed?

Also, even if there was no wind at all, one would generate wind through the change in airflow.

One wouldn’t even be able to keep their eyes open, and their ears would be filled with a high pitched whistling. One couldn’t eat, hear, or breathe. How could they fly then?

Even if one had the ability to fly, they wouldn’t. Why? Because that would be self-torture!

Cultivation was to gain a powerful ability. One had to improve their physique step-by-step so that they could use that powerful ability. Only then could one become a true peerless master.

That was why a cultivator had to start from the Physique Tempering Stage.

Ling Yun had attained the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Nine and the pinnacle of the 14th minor realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique. He could keep his eyes open and breathe normally, even in the face of a hurricane. At the same time, his senses were heightened, so even though the whistling was present in his ears, he could still hear what he wanted to hear clearly.

To be able to exist normally without any instruments or equipment high up in the sky and beneath the sea — that was true cultivation!

The bodies of the Blood Clan were tough for the same reasons as well. If not, they wouldn’t dare to fly even if they had a pair of huge wings.

“The night view of the capital isn’t bad. It’s no wonder that it’s one of the largest international capitals…”

Ling Yun was standing on Pierce’s back with his hands behind his back in a relaxed manner. The helicopter view of the city below was enchanting.

Pierce, on the other hand, was really nervous. His master was the one standing on his back, so he flew carefully and steadily, afraid that Ling Yun might fall off his back if he weren’t careful.

Ling Yun was well prepared though. He might be a thousand meters in the sky, but he calculated that he would only sustain a minor scratch even if he were to fall from such a height.

He didn’t cultivate the Stellar Condensation Technique in vain. Ling Yun’s body was truly solid.

“Joyce, adjust Chen Haizhen’s body. Don’t let him face the wind. He looks like he’s going to die of suffocation soon…”

Chen Sen’s father, Chen Haizhen, might be at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Five, but he was scared sh*tless being so high up in the air. He dared not even open his eyes.

He wouldn’t be able to handle it even if he was in pristine condition. This was a first for him.

Chen Haizhen would definitely die from the impact if he were to be dropped from here.

The defensive power of the Stellar Condensation Technique was Ling Yun’s absolute advantage, now and forever.

Beijing might look a lot smaller from a thousand meters, but Ling Yun could still see car license plates clearly.

A kilometer was no different horizontally or vertically.

“Master, where are we going?” Pierce hovered and asked respectfully.

Ling Yun swept his eyes across the entirety of Beijing. He saw the Forbidden City, the Great Wall of China, the Summer Palace, and many other places of interest…

“Fly towards the west…” Ling Yun said after he was done appreciating them all.

He was able to spot his courtyard house with minimal effort.

At this height, the courtyard house was very small, but it seemed near as well.

Ling Yun had been replenishing his True Qi after the fierce battle at a neck-breaking speed. His energy center was already at an unimaginable size at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Nine. The speed of production of his Yin-Yang True Qi through his Yin-Yang harmony balance was increased by many times. Ling Yun recovered to about 40% of his pristine state in a matter of minutes.

Ling Yun’s plan was to return to his courtyard house and check on the Cao Family. He would visit his grandpa if they were well.

He had saved his second uncle, Ling Yue. Ling Yue possessed a great deal of information about the Chen Family. Ling Yun had to obtain this information in the shortest time possible.

“Hmm?”

Ling Yun was about to command Pierce to land in the courtyard house when he heard faint screams towards the north of Beijing.

Ling Yun used his Yin-Yang harmony balance to extend his sight towards the direction of the sound.

Ling Yun saw a group of men in black masks breaching the walls of a huge courtyard under the command of a person. Every one of them had a Yuki no Hikari Long Blade in hand and was slashing at everyone madly!

Ling Yun knew who they were immediately, Japanese ninjas!

A tall old man with snow-white hair was shouting while they were under siege by the Japanese ninjas!

“Grandpa!”

“That is… Cui Lao!”

“Chester!”

Ling Yun saw Ling Lie first, then Cui Lao, who was waving his sword and killing his enemies. He finally saw Chester, who was now completely transformed and protecting his Ling Family!

“Sh*t! The Ling Family is in danger!”

Ling Yun’s expression changed, and murderous intent flashed through his eyes. After a roar, he immediately gave orders to Pierce and Joyce. “Use your fastest speed to fly towards the courtyard in the north!”
