Chapter 238: What do you think of the place?

He looked down at the scene below him. He couldn't tell what was going on but even from outside and flying dozens of metres above in the sky he could tell that there was an abundance of Qi emerging from within the resort. He didn't quite understand what was going on but he knew that the place was full of strong cultivators. But one thing stood out to him. 

It was Lao's Qi that was so strong that it overpowered the Qi from anyone who was inside. 

'Lao, I swear if you slaughter a bunch of strong cultivators I will kill you. We need their help right now.' Haru thought, underestimating Lao's self-control. But he had a reason for that since whenever Lao would get mad he would usually act out against the person that had made him mad. 

Before anything could happen Haru decided to make his way down and toward the serpentine resort. He didn't know what to expect when he got there but there was a feeling of anxiety brewing in his stomach. He could still feel that the Qi hadn't faded which was a good sign. It meant that Lao hadn't killed anyone yet.  As he started to make his way toward the resort the security began to get tighter.

At the outskirt of the four-block radius that was blocked off, there were a few police cars that were directing traffic away from the resort. But on the block directly surrounding it, there were soldiers with guns and a few cultivators on standby. 

It was nothing that Haru wouldn't be able to deal with and he could even sneak past them if he really wanted to. But he wasn't going to sneak onto his own property. He didn't care who they were. If they planned to stop him then he wouldn't be able to hold back.

He flew down to the floor in plain view of the soldiers and cultivators that were surrounding the resort to immediately be met by guns being pointed at him. 

"Stop right there. State your business!" One of the soldiers shouted as he aimed his rifle at his chest. 

Haru swished his hand and used his Qi to lift the soldier into the air and threw him into the water fountain that was situated outside the main entrance. 

"The next person to point a weapon at me on my own property will die. If you value your life then drop your weapons." Haru gave his first and final warning to the soldiers that were blocking his path. 

'They dare to come on to my property and threaten me? I'm not the proud type like Lao or Li Jun but even I won't stand to be disrespected in such a way." Haru thought to himself before looking around at the other soldiers to see if they heeded his warning. 

But that wasn't the case. He sighed slightly 'I did warn them But I will still make this as painless as I can.' He thought before gathering even more Qi than he had used to throw the man and then began to form a flame in his hand using the power of his bloodline. If he vapourised them they wouldn't feel any pain.

He felt bad since he had been in their position before. They were blindly following orders. Even when faced with inevitable death they would still have to hold strong to keep their Honor as soldiers. But just as he was about to release the flame and consume all of the people pointing guns at him a woman's voice called out from the main entrance of the resort. 

"Wait a minute! We didn't come here for a fight!" The voice called out. 

Haru looked over to see that it was the same woman that had seen Lao kill the demon a few nights before. "She's here? What is this about? Major Niu, that was her name wasn't it?" Haru thought as he recognised her. 

"Then what is this about. Who decided to bring soldiers to my property and tell them to point their guns at me? If that isn't a threat of violence then I don't know what is" Haru stated. If they didn't come to fight then why would they point guns at him? It made no sense why they would point weapons at someone they didn't want to fight. 

"Ah That was, um. Well, my boss gave the order to keep civilians away from this place. He said that he didn't want anyone distracting him before the meeting tomorrow." Major Niu explained. She sounded confused about the situation herself but she didn't seem to be lying. 

"Wait The meeting tomorrow? So that means you are here to help?" Haru asked. He was surprised by the sudden revelation. They had tried to kill him before so he didn't expect that they would come to the meeting that he was holding for his friends and acquaintances he had met so far. 

He looked at her for a moment and then back at the guards who had all lowered their weapons since Major Niu had come outside. The soldiers trusted her with their lives and someone who could inspire such confidence from common soldiers was never a bad person. 

He didn't know what they really came here for, but he trusted his instincts and there was nothing hinting that there might have been some ulterior motive that he didn't know about or that they wanted to kill him.

"That isn't for me to decide but my boss decided to come here in person just to hear what you had to say. He said he will decide what we're going to do once we hear whatever you have to say." Major Niu said. 

"Oh, I see. Then what about the people inside. Why are there a lot of strong cultivators here? Are you trying to threaten my teacher by bringing so many?" Haru asked. He didn't know for sure but by using his spiritual sense, he could tell that there were at least twenty nascent soul stage cultivators inside the banquet hall on the second floor. 

Previously the most nascent soul stage cultivators he had seen in one place at the same time was two. The two that had tried to kill him and after one of them was killed Major Niu replaced him. He didn't know how many cultivators at the nascent soul stage there were in China but if there were twenty in one room then that would most likely be a big proportion of them.

"Those experts? They said that you invited them here I was going to ask you the same thing since they were here before we were. The only reason my boss became so interested in this matter is because almost all of the nascent soul stage cultivators had gathered here the day before." Major Niu explained.

"Almost all of them? How many are there in total then?" Haru was now even more confused. 

"Well, the government has five nascent soul stage cultivators. We did have six But as you know one of them was killed a few nights ago. And the cultivation association has three. The others are spread out between many different sects.

There are about ten that we know of. So it was strange when twenty-three of them appeared in this place." Major Niu explained. 

Haru tried to think about the black star sect. He knew that the three elders were all at the nascent soul stage and the sect masters wife was too. But he also had heard rumours about there being a few others that refused to show themselves within the sect. But it wasn't likely that the sect master had ordered all of them to help out. 

That was the only thing he could think of since he didn't know that many cultivators at the nascent soul stage. 

"Lao where did you find so many people to help?" Haru muttered to himself before pushing past both the soldiers and Major Niu and walking into the resort through the main entrance. As he did so the Qi became a little overwhelming and it wasn't surprising to see a few weaker cultivators sitting down in the lobby and absorbing the Qi that was being released by the twenty-three nascent soul stage cultivates and the sixty or manifestation stage cultivators that were in the banquet hall. 

It wasn't an accurate calculation since the Qi was being muddled together since they were within close proximity to each other but he was still sure that there were more cultivators in the banquet hall than he had met before.

Haru hesitated slightly before turning the door handle and stepping foot into the room. But as he did he felt a happy atmosphere. It was unexpected since he thought that with so many cultivators being together there were bound to be high tensions between them but as he looked around he saw that everyone was getting along with each other. 

He looked to the front of the room where seven people were sitting together, facing the doors that he had just walked through and he instantly recognised a few of them. The sect master was sitting alongside Teacher Lin and the third elder that he had only seen once. 

But beside them, there was an elven woman with long blond hair. She was wearing a short white dress with metal plate armour on her wrists, torso, shoulders and legs. Haru had never seen her before but whoever she was, she looked like she was ready for a fight. And next to her there was an old man who was short and chubby with a long beard that was tied into three braids.

He looked like a mix between a pirate and a dwarf which was a bit comical but his strength wasn't something to be looked down upon. Even he was at the nascent soul stage. He looked at the last remaining person who was sitting right in the middle of the room with a smile on his face. 

It was Lao. And he was looking directly back at Haru from across the room. He had sensed Haru since he arrived outside the resort and was waiting for his appearance before announcing to everyone that the one who had called them all here had arrived.

"Haru, What do you think of the place?" Lao asked with a grin on his face as the room fell silent with just a couple of words from him and everyone turned to look toward the door where Haru was standing.
