Chapter 483 - Unprincipled Ruler
“It is probably a celestial realm spirit master senior who is casting a spell.”
“It probably is! We have never heard snow happening in the common people’s vast habitat…”
“The heaven and earth spiritual energy are really weird!”
Yuanfei sensed the surrounding area, and as expected, the surrounding spiritual energy had solidified. For some reason, he was terrified, but he didn’t know the reason why. He also didn’t know if other people felt the same way.
Then, the topic of the people around changed once more.
“…I heard that Jueyu is still outside our vast habitat and still hasn’t left.”
“That’s right! I went to see yesterday. Not only just him, but there are also more and more random people. They said that they are here to watch, but who knows what these people are planning?”
“Scoff! This sword prince is trying to be unreasonable and shameless! If I was great great senior master, I wouldn’t bother about him!”
“You said 2 fewer greats. You are being disrespectful towards great great great great senior master.”
“I am making it concise! Concise! Don’t you think it is a little tough to say?”
“Still, to drag the situation on isn’t a solution. Do you think great great senior master is afraid to fight him?”
“Shut up! That day first seat Tan used 300 common people, mysterious dragon warrior, to charge through the formation and go up against hundred times an enemy. Even then he wasn’t afraid, so why would he fear him? Didn’t great great senior master Chuxue mention that first seat just can’t be bothered to fight him.”
“Hey! Whether those words were sincere or an excuse, that is hard to say…”
Yuanfei listened on from the side, really agreeing to it. He thought to himself, these 2 people are thinking the same things as I am.
If he wasn’t afraid to fight, then why would he go into secluded meditation at such a juncture?
He stopped looking at the snow scenery, turning around and was prepared to return to the lecture hall. However, in the next instance, the corner of his eyes looked towards one person. His brows jumped up, he felt helpless.
He saw that not far away, 2 people were walking over. One of them should be the first seat of this generation of Seven Spirit Sect Zhao Yanran and the other was Xuechu, who he least wanted to see.
What a coincidence. They were walking right towards him.
After they saw Yuanfei, Zhao Yanran and Xuechu were both startled. The latter’s gaze turned fierce. Chuxue hated his fellow who loved to diss her young master. Unfortunately, after the battle with Jueyu, he had run far away, and she was unable to find any tracks of him.
Zhao Yanran was stunned, following which her lips curled, “Oh! Isn’t it great senior master Feiyuan, you have the mood to come out to admire the snow too?”
Yuanfei’s face turned white. He tried to use his status as a great senior master. However, at this moment, some Xuechu was more senior than him here. As such, he would only be asking to get humiliated. He could only scoff coldly, “Who are you calling?”
Zhao Yanran showed no fear in her eyes, covering her lips and laughing, “That day. who was the one who said that if Xuechu could standstill in front of Jueyu, that since that day on he would flip his name? Yuanfei, Feiyuan, an ape that knows how to fly, what a great name…”
At this moment the eyes of many people all looked over. Yuanfei couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, rage rising in his chest.
Then, he came back to his senses. That’s right, he has to stop being arrogant and impulsive.
Regaining calm, Yuanfei rolled his eyes and had an idea. He then laughed involuntarily.
“Forget it! It is not much to flip my name over. Today I have high hopes for great senior master Tan, whether or not he dares to fight. If he loses then, I, Feiyuan will flip my name!”
After he said that he looked towards Zhao Yanran provocatively, gleefully walking back into the lecture hall.
Zhao Yanran blinked her eyes and moments later she understood what was happening. She couldn’t help but find it amusing. This fellow was too shameless.
This was him being certain Zong Shou wouldn’t fight. Even if he did, he would lose.
Which meant that his name would be able to be flipped back to normal.
Although she despised him, in her heart, she was also quite amused. So their common people path had such kind of people.
Chuxue was still in a daze, thinking to herself why did Yuanfei change so fast and suddenly has high hopes for young master?
Was this person a good person?
What young master used to say was correct. What were those words? One should be given a new look even if it was just 3 days of separation?
However, it seemed a little wrong too…
※※※※
At the same time, within the common people’s vast habitat, Jueyu was frowning as he looked around.
There was no snow here, but the entire void fissure was shaking and twisting. Numerous black colored cracks were appearing and disappearing nearby.
Just a few moments ago there were tens of people who were hurt by these suddenly appearing space fissures.
Amongst which 2 grade 6 ones were even heavily injured and close to death. Luckily, the people around them acted in time and managed to save them.
It seemed like the entire cloud world outer layer was restless. If also caused this void fissure to continuously twist.
Although it didn’t break, this place did become dangerous.
At this moment not only him but even those ten other grade 9 cultivators also had a solemn expression on their faces.
There were many people in a discussion.
“Why is this happening? Is someone attacking the cloud world?”
“That’s impossible! Our current cloud world is so stable. There are tens of end realm experts outside. It isn’t like ten thousand years ago when anyone could slaughter us. Even if they want to attack, they would have to wait until the spiritual wave begins.”
“Since this void is shaking not due to the outside, it means that it comes from within and is from the depths of the cloud world…”
“Do you all feel a difference in the spiritual energy?”
“It seemed to have stopped moving! How did this happen?”
“It feels like something is about to happen. I feel uneasy. I also feel terror, like a scary presence is about to descend on the world. Are such changes a sign from the heavens?”
“Before the spiritual wave even begins, all kinds of weird things have been running out.”
Jueyu was slightly startled. He felt the same way in his heart like something was about to happen.
However, he didn’t feel fearful or terrified. He also didn’t feel that scary presence, only some uneasiness, and many random thoughts rising in his heart which couldn’t calm down.
Looking at the person who was speaking, it was just a grade 6 spirit master. Most probably it was an illusion.
Thinking about it for a moment, Jueyu reached out with his hand. An old man dressed as a coachman appeared right beside him.
At this moment Jueyu took ten golden-colored spiritual talismans and tossed it over.
“That is a teleportation talisman and a soul settling talisman. Go and take a look if any heaven signs are occurring outside? The heaven and earth are shaking, be careful!”
After he said that, he continued to look towards the direction of the common people’s vast habitat. Looking from the outside, 1 of the 5 vast habitats looked like a watery blue barrier existing in the void.
Looking behind him once more, helplessness appeared in his eyes.
He originally didn’t want to attract so many people. However, he also wasn’t willing to give up on his fight against Tanqiu.
Only by battling such top sword path talents could he train in and grind his sword technique.
So no matter what, he needed to see that person. Even if his methods were a little despicable.
※※※※
“How is that possible? Did that woman say that?”
Within Gantian Mountain, in the original Shili Ling Xiangding, it was still that restaurant. Li Zhile nearly crushed the wine cup in his hands.
His eyes were about to pop out, filled with flames of rage.
That day, he had listened to the orders from Kongyao to wait outside Gantian Mountain to head towards Longxiang City together.
Who knew that Kongyao wouldn’t be alive even after a long time. There were no signs of her. He could only return to Gantian City to try to pick up some news.
Who knew that such a thing had happened.
Besides Li Zhile sat a Xuanwu realm cavalry who also wore silver armor. His expression was dark and sunken, filled with rage.
“It definitely won’t be wrong! I paid heavy gold to pay for the news from a few maidservants within the Hanyan Palace. That monster king is prepared to make governor commander his concubine. This matter has already been spread out amongst the higher-ups of Gantian Mountain.”
Li Zhile was more and more infuriated as he heard it. The wine cup in his hand couldn’t take it anymore and was crushed into dust.
“How shameless! This Gantian monster king is an unprincipled ruler! How bold!”
He wanted to grab the spear in his hand and kill his way to the peak of the mountain to capture that monster king to question him!
However, thinking about Zong Shou’s ability to break a grade 8 talisman puppet in one sword, Li Zhile thought about it carefully and decided to forget about it. The worse the situation, the calmer he had to be. He couldn’t panic and he couldn’t be impulsive.
Who knew if it was a total coincidence, but at that moment, a new group of customers started to discuss about Kong Yao.
“Guys? Did you hear about that large battle that day at the mid-waist of our Gantian Mountain?”
“How can we not remember? That shocked the entire city. I heard that our mountain city suffered much destruction, and several houses were destroyed. Luckily, no one was injured.”
“Do you know who was the one who attacked that day? What was the reason?”
The one who spoke was a round-faced fat guy. His face was too fast, and it made his eyes seem small. He wore an expensive-looking robe and was acting profoundly.
It wasn’t until the people around looked over did he say with a satisfied expression on his face, “The ones who fought that day, one was our Gantian Mountain famous general. He was Zong Yuan who had led 3 thousand cavalry to crush 400 thousand troops. The other was a title governor commander from the central continent. I heard that it was a woman, looking as beautiful as a flower, a true national beauty. She is only 29, and over ten days ago, she was captured. Our ruler is prepared to make her his concubine…”
The surrounding people were stunned, exchanging glances with one another. At this moment, the people who didn’t pay much attention all looked over.
“Is this true?”
“Definitely! The prime minister mentioned it personally in front of my brother, how can it be fake?”
No one cared about who this fatty’s brother was. However, their interests in the matter were perked.
“To become the concubine of the ruler, her looks must be top grade. I want to take a look…”
“Isn’t what he is doing the same as forcefully snatching a commoner girl? How can he do that?”
“Didn’t the ruler do it before? Do you remember that musician Xuan? The ruler is good at everything, the only thing that he is too lustful…”
