Free Web NovelChapter 1413: Chapter 1390: Separation Jade, Yin Jade!
"Brother Ye, it seems that the forces from the Qin Family are indeed immensely powerful." Empress remarked solemnly as the group left the tavern.
Ye Huan nodded slightly and said earnestly, "Tomorrow, you should not come up the mountain with me."
Upon hearing this, Empress’s expression changed dramatically. How could she not recognize the enormity of the Qin Family alliance’s power that even Ye Huan was wary of?
Ye Huan was worried that he might not be able to protect her from the Qin Family alliance’s attack, thus making this decision!
Empress bit her lip and asked anxiously, "Brother Ye, is it absolutely necessary to go this time?"
"I must go. Ye Bingning is a very good friend of mine. I worked in the Western Dark World for seven years, spending three years of that time with her. She was not yet eighteen at that time."
Ye Huan chuckled and continued, "In my heart, she is just like you, considered as my sister. I don’t want to see her trapped, just as I don’t want to see you surrounded by danger. I must go save her."
Sister?
The word made Empress feel inexplicably unhappy. She didn’t want to always call Ye Huan ’Brother Ye.’
Nor did she want Ye Huan to always consider her as his sister!
But Ye Huan’s final words moved her somewhat.
"Brother Ye, I’m willing to face the danger with you!" Empress said seriously.
Ye Huan remained silent. His right hand transformed into a knife edge, and while Empress was still unresponsive, he delivered a chop to her neck.
The force was not large but executed with precision, instantly putting Empress into a deep sleep.
After finishing his drink, Ye Huan carried Empress to an inn, rented a room, and placed her on the bed.
"Sleep for a day," Ye Huan murmured helplessly.
Empress’s willingness to face danger with him was commendable, but he didn’t want her to fall into a predicament without meaning.
He had to ascend Wuya Peak tomorrow!
No one could stop him!
No matter how powerful the Qin Family alliance’s forces were, so what?
Ye Huan had never feared anyone in his life!
The stronger the enemy, the more it only ignited his fighting spirit!
He took a deep breath and struck a special, eerie pose in the room closely resembling a crane spreading its wings, yet akin to a lone-standing golden rooster.
This was precisely the second movement of Heaven Opening Technique, which could thoroughly train muscles and bones, generating an immense Qi of extreme Yang in the meridians!
Ye Huan was making final preparations for the brutal battle to come tomorrow!
Over twenty third and fourth-tier families, two second-tier families, one first-tier family—the overall strength of the Qin Family coalition was indeed beyond his imagination, requiring him to muster all his energy and power to confront!
Unprocessed Qi of extreme Yang, stored in the eight major points of the Heaven Opening technique, could burn the dormant points, causing unbearable pain, and even irreversible damage, but Ye Huan was willing to take the risk.
No matter what lay ahead, even if knives and flames surrounded Ye Bingning, he had to risk everything to save her!
Ye Huan’s eyes were as unwavering as a colossal mountain!
...
"Brother, something has happened, something big!"
At a certain inn in Wuya Town.
Cao Yuan rushed into the luxurious suite on the top floor of the inn, his face full of anxiety!
On the sofa, a handsome man put down the scroll book, frowning slightly, "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"
This handsome man was none other than Cao Family’s dragon child, a celebrated super-genius throughout the Seventh Ring region—Cao Bin.
Cao Yuan poured himself a cup of tea, gulped it down, and then, gasping for breath, said, "I ... I was drinking at the tavern before and encountered someone incredible!"
After pausing, taking a few more sips of tea, Cao Yuan revealed everything that happened in the tavern to Cao Bin.
After listening, Cao Bin frowned even tighter, "Such an event?"
"Indeed! Something strange happened; I recently advanced to Initial-Tier Divine King. However, his attack arrived instantly, and before I could react, he finished off the person named Li Ying," Cao Yuan admitted with a fearful expression. He pondered whether he could handle such an attack himself.
The conclusion was, he would certainly end up like Li Ying, succumbing to that move!
That mysterious man was immeasurably profound!
"Brother, should we send someone to investigate him?" Cao Yuan asked seriously, "If he forcefully ascends Wuya Peak tomorrow, it might bring us considerable trouble."
"No need; he possesses such strength, indicating he is no ordinary person. Since he is no ordinary person, he obviously won’t have a foolish mind... Oh no, I take my words back; he acted publicly at the tavern, using a chopstick to seal Li Ying’s throat, already alarming the snakes and exposing his intention to forcefully ascend Wuya Peak. Such an impatient brute will surely be on Wuya Peak tomorrow."
"But it’s not a problem; although he shows some strength, he is still not up to par in the face of the entire Qin Family alliance. Even without mentioning the entire alliance, just my presence as Cao Family’s dragon child should be enough to kill him single-handedly. Throughout the entire Southwestern Endless Deep Mountains, I have faced no opponents at my tier as an Initial-Tier Divine King. Even many Mid-Tier Divine Kings must detour when they encounter me."
"Let him be strong; I am stronger."
"With me at this alliance marriage ceremony between Six Fan Gate and the Qin Family, no one could destroy it!"
Cao Bin’s words were full of intense confidence in his own strength and disdain for the mysterious man. Speaking of this, his eyes emitted two fierce cold rays: "Naturally, I won’t allow anyone to ruin this marriage, especially since Qin Family Patriarch Qin Fen offered something remarkable to invite the Cao Family to oversee the ceremony. If that fellow doesn’t come, so be it; but if he dares to come to Wuya Peak tomorrow, I will teach him a lesson and spread his ashes."
Cao Yuan instinctively nodded slightly, feeling that he had indeed overthought.
The Endless Deep Mountains had already spread rumors that no Initial-Tier Divine King could defeat Cao Bin at the same level!
Furthermore, even Mid-Tier Divine Kings couldn’t gain an advantage in encounters with Cao Bin.
There seemed to have already been ten Mid-Tier Divine Kings who challenged Cao Bin and died by his hand.
However, another matter piqued Cao Yuan’s interest; he asked tentatively, "Ordinarily, though the Cao Family and Qin Family have connections, they do not consider the Qin Family significantly. Brother, this time, what treasure did the Qin Family offer to make the family dispatch you personally to oversee Wuya Peak?"
This matter was no great secret amongst the upper level of the Cao Family.
Thus, Cao Bin chose to reveal it to Cao Yuan.
The item name Cao Bin reported next left Cao Yuan wide-eyed in shock!
"The Yin Jade from the Separation Jade of Yin and Yang, one of the seven Ancient Divine Jades personally crafted by Ling Tianming, the founder of Dragon Gate and former leader of hundred tribes!"
