Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 415 Calculation
The next day.

At the gate of the Canglan Sect, three figures rode spirit birds with wings spanning two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) and soared into the sky, leaving the Canglan Sect.

The White Feathered Spirit Sparrow is a flying demon beast cultivated by the Canglan Sect.

It gets its name from the tuft of white feathers on its headdress.

The speed of the White Feather Spirit Sparrow is much faster than the flying mount Lin Chen rode when he came to the Canglan Sect, but to ride the White Feather Spirit Sparrow, one must be at least at the Innate Realm.

The white-feathered spirit bird is surrounded by flames, which can only be blocked by innate martial artists with their protective qi.

The Canglan Sect not only has flying demonic beasts, but also the Flowing Cloud Crane. However, the Flowing Cloud Crane prefers cold weather. This time, they are going to the Myriad Fire Sect. Once they enter the Myriad Fire Domain, the temperature will rise, and the Flowing Cloud Crane will not be as fast as the White Feather Spirit Sparrow.

Three hours later.

The three-headed white-feathered spirit bird stopped in the air, and Chai Daoqi said, "Junior brother, I haven't been home for a long time and I'm planning to go home for a visit. Junior brother, please come and visit me at my home for a few days."

"Third Senior Brother, this is my first time taking on a sect mission. I'll complete it first. I think you'll be staying at home for a while. I'll come to visit you again when you return."

Faced with his third senior brother's invitation, Lin Chen smiled slightly and politely declined.

Although it would only take twenty days to travel from Canglan Sect to Wanhuo Sect, it was Lin Chen's first time leaving his sect, so he decided to give himself enough time.

"Well, Junior Brother, you go and complete the sect's mission first. When you return, if your Third Senior Brother and I are still here, we brothers will get together again."

Liang Hanyang spoke up from the side, agreeing with Lin Chen's idea.

Lin Chen bid farewell to his two senior brothers. Since their paths diverged, he had to go on alone.

"Second Senior Brother, let Junior Brother come to my house as a guest. It won't take too long."

Chai Daoqi watched Lin Chen leave with some dissatisfaction, but Liang Hanyang didn't care about Chai Daoqi's tone and replied, "How could I not understand what you're thinking? You just want to show off your relationship with your junior brother."

Junior Brother has just reached the summit of Martial Dao Mountain and is currently the talk of the town among young martial artists across the Yan Dynasty. If he were to appear in the Chihuang Dynasty, it would surely cause a sensation throughout the entire Chihuang Dynasty.

"What's the big deal? Junior Brother is my junior brother."

Chai Daoqi curled his lip, not taking it to heart. Even if his junior brother didn't go, he could still explain his relationship with his junior brother as fellow disciples.

“Junior Brother’s background is not as good as yours. Even if he shows great potential, you should know that there are multiple factions in the sect. Before Junior Brother grows up, don’t make enemies for him.”

Liang Hanyang revealed his true intention, and Chai Daoqi was taken aback, but he quickly realized what his second senior brother was talking about.

"You mean the Sky Dome Dynasty? The Sky Dome Dynasty shouldn't dare to have any designs on Junior Brother."

Chai Daoqi shook his head. His family had a grudge against the Tianqiong Dynasty, and he had also been fighting with Tu Bin in his sect for many years. But he believed that after his junior brother reached the top of the martial arts mountain, Tu Bin would definitely not dare to have any improper thoughts about his junior brother.

"Who can say for sure? Don't forget, the Yan Dynasty has had its share of geniuses who were once the number one in martial arts, but were assassinated or perished on their subsequent cultivation paths."

Liang Hanyang narrowed his eyes slightly. He believed that the Sky Dome Dynasty would not dare to have any ulterior motives towards his junior brother. However, if his junior brother appeared at his third junior brother's house now, the Sky Dome Dynasty would definitely get the news and know that his junior brother and third junior brother were very close.

Not having ulterior motives doesn't mean you won't hinder your junior brother's cultivation.

As one of the ten great dynasties of the Canglan Domain, the Tianqiong Dynasty has a close relationship with several elders of the sect, and a large number of deacons also have unclear relationships with the Tianqiong Dynasty. Sometimes, when it comes to the allocation of cultivation resources in the sect, they can cause trouble for their junior brothers.

As for the junior brother and the third junior brother being fellow disciples, the Heavenly Dome Dynasty wouldn't care. Being fellow disciples doesn't necessarily mean having a great relationship. Each elder's cultivation resources are limited, and the competition among fellow disciples is equally fierce.

Chai Daoqi was silent for a few moments, then suddenly spoke up: "Second Senior Brother, you don't suspect that I invited Junior Brother to make the Heavenly Vault Dynasty wary of him, so that Junior Brother would have no choice but to side with my family in the end, do you?"

“If you had this kind of brain, your uncle would have made you the crown prince long ago, instead of letting you travel around.”

Liang Hanyang gave Chai Daoqi a look that said he should figure it out himself. Chai Daoqi looked aggrieved. Ever since his junior brother appeared, his master's attitude towards him had changed, and now even his second senior brother was starting to put him down.

“Unlike us, our junior brother doesn’t have the support of our families. He only has our master behind him. What we senior brothers need to do is to try our best to keep him out of trouble before he has absolute strength.”

Although there were some things that his master hadn't told him, Liang Hanyang, as the senior brother, had to take them into consideration.

It would be best for the junior brother to maintain his current independent ways, not to get too close to any faction within the sect, and not to make enemies.

A genius who has no enemies will receive the support of everyone in the sect. The higher such a genius's cultivation level, the more the entire sect will benefit.

……

……

three days later.

Directly ahead in the sky, a massive city came into Lin Chen's view.

The capital of the Sky Dome Dynasty!
Lin Chen glanced down a few times, then continued forward. But three breaths later, Lin Chen pressed down on the white-feathered spirit bird and looked ahead.

Two middle-aged men appeared in the sky, and smiled when they saw Lin Chen.

"It's actually my young friend Lin Chen?"

A powerful cultivator at the second or third level of the Innate Realm.

Sensing the aura emanating from them, Lin Chen made a judgment about their strength and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you two?"

"We are princes of the Sky Dome Dynasty. Young friend Lin recently reached the summit of Martial Dao Mountain, enhancing the prestige of our Canglan Sect and bringing honor to our dynasty in the Canglan Domain. We never expected that young friend Lin would pass through the capital of our Sky Dome Dynasty. This is truly fate. Young friend Lin, why don't you come and visit our Sky Dome Dynasty, so that we, the Sky Dome Dynasty, can extend our hospitality?"

Did they know in advance that they would be passing through this place?

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't believe it was a coincidence. When he and Senior Brother Gao came to Canglan Sect, the Sky Dome Dynasty was very arrogant. At that time, their mounts almost sank. If Senior Brother Gao hadn't introduced himself, they probably wouldn't have been able to pass over the Sky Dome Dynasty.

He was now riding the White Feather Spirit Sparrow, which was a higher rank than the Azure Sky Flying Horse he had ridden before. Only innate martial artists of the Canglan Sect were qualified to ride it. Last time, the Sky Dome Dynasty probably didn't know his and Senior Brother Gao's identities and used their aura to intimidate the Azure Sky Flying Horse, but now that the White Feather Spirit Sparrow had appeared, they shouldn't dare to do that.

He believed that there were definitely many innate martial artists from sects who flew through the air riding white-feathered spirit birds or flowing cloud cranes, and it was impossible for the Sky Dome Dynasty to come and inquire about every one of them. The fact that these two appeared as soon as he stepped into the territory of the Sky Dome Dynasty meant that they were waiting here on purpose.

Someone must have leaked the information to the Sky Dome Dynasty.

I went to the sect's mission hall to accept the mission. I knew that quite a few people had accepted missions to go to the Myriad Fire Sect. The mission hall was responsible for issuing missions, as well as managing the mission hall, including the elders who were in charge of the mission hall.

Finding out who leaked the information would be impossible; any link in the chain could be involved.

"I have a mission to complete for my sect and cannot stay any longer. I appreciate your kind offer."

Lin Chen refused. Based on the fact that the Sky Dome Dynasty had blocked him in the past, he had no good feelings towards the Sky Dome Dynasty.

In addition, when he started the challenge at Wudao Mountain, he defeated many sect disciples. These sect disciples joined forces and went to the Elder Hall, wanting the elders to punish him. Although his master and senior brothers did not say much, he later learned some of the details.

This matter was orchestrated behind the scenes by a sect disciple named Tu Bin, who was actually a prince of the Sky Dome Dynasty.

"Young friend Lin, it won't take too much time. A day earlier or later shouldn't be a problem."

One of the princes from the Sky Dome Dynasty chuckled and said, "This is my first time carrying out a sect mission. I have something on my mind, so I really can't attend the banquet. Let's do it next time."

"Lin Xiao..."

"Fifth Brother, since Young Friend Lin is so concerned about the sect's mission, then there's no need to force him."

Another older prince stopped his brother who was about to speak, saying, "Then I wish you a safe journey, young friend Lin. If you have extra time after completing your mission, you might as well visit my Sky Dome Dynasty."

Lin Chen didn't respond to that, but simply nodded and rode the spirit bird directly away.

"Third brother, Lin Chen really doesn't give us any face."

Seeing Lin Chen's departing figure, the Fifth Prince of the Sky Dome Dynasty snorted coldly, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

"Bin'er sent back a message that there must have been some friction between him and Lin Chen. Lin Chen must also be dissatisfied. It's only natural that he doesn't want to be a guest of my Sky Dome Dynasty. After all, a prodigy can't be without a bit of pride."

"What genius? Just a lucky kid from a desolate island. If he had just mentioned the good things we prepared for him, I think he would have agreed."

"Since he is unwilling to be a guest, we can save ourselves the trouble of sending out these treasures. Judging from his current schedule, he should not have been delayed in the Crimson Emperor Dynasty. As long as he is not close to the Crimson Emperor Dynasty, it is fine for us. Our Sky Dome Dynasty does not need to rely on him."
