326: Chapter 64: Meeting and Harmony_2 326: Chapter 64: Meeting and Harmony_2 Because of this matter, Wu Yue’s impression of Qin Wanyang was not good.
He immediately stood firm and asked indifferently, “Who told you that this ancient kingdom contains creation?”
“I…”
Qin Wanyang hesitated for a moment and calmly replied, “Why, do rumors need to have a name and a surname?”
It was actually very simple.
After Xie Sheng and the other two sealed off Snow Mountain,
he was the first person to forcefully enter this place and step into the Secret Realm!
If there were no creation here, why would the three Taoists of Tai Shang House seal off Snow Mountain?
“It doesn’t matter if the Princely Heir doesn’t say it.
In fact, it’s very simple—I lead the team, responsible for only one thing, to ensure everyone survives…
If the Princely Heir wishes to seek creation, feel free to do so, and anyone who wants to go along with him can also leave together.”
Wu Yue smiled and said, “However, I must remind you all that the Demon Cultivators of Chi Ling City have already infiltrated this place.
Where there is creation, there might be encounters with Demon Cultivators.”
“…”
This statement poured down like a bucket of cold water.
Many people gave up their unrealistic hope of contention.
Actually.
The disciples from Northern County and the Martial Sect were quite united.
They followed Wu Yue from beginning to end and never harbored any other ulterior motives.
On the other hand, the servants Qin Wanyang temporarily rallied and those Loose Cultivators who survived the Northern Hunt wanted to “seek wealth amidst danger,” hoping to try their luck.
“Brother Wu,”
Qin Wanyang gritted his teeth and said irritably, “Setting aside fate and creation, the path you’re leading us on, isn’t it a bit strange?
You’re not really following the Jade Scroll that Xie Zhen gave you, are you?”
“Otherwise?”
Wu Yue glanced at Qin Wanyang, “Would you like to lead the way, and then get ambushed by Demon Cultivators again?”
“You…”
Qin Wanyang’s face turned green with anger, and his fingers were trembling.
His prestigious identity was useless.
This crude Martial Artist didn’t care about the Qin Family at all!
After taking a deep breath,
Qin Wanyang calmed himself, unwilling to let it go, and asked, “Do you really trust Xie Zhen that much?”
“Xie Zhen killed the Demon Cultivators of Chi Ling City.
In a sense, he not only saved me but also saved you.”
Wu Yue’s expression was calm.
He was very clear about what the outcome would have been if Xie Zhen had not drawn his sword earlier.
The assassination attempt by the Demon Cultivators of Chi Ling City, who were participating in the Northern Hunt, was extremely strong, likely all being ‘Shadow Guards’ from Prince Jiu’s side, wielding incomplete principles, and there might even be the presence of pseudo-Yin Gods!
This level of combat strength, once they grouped together, was completely a dimension-reducing strike.
On the Human Race’s side, aside from several young talents who could barely hold their ground…
The others had no way to resist!
“Besides,”
Wu Yue smiled faintly, “I noticed that the Princely Heir was quite respectful towards Xie Zhen before, constantly addressing him as Mr.
Xie.
Why have you changed your demeanor now, even changing your way of addressing him?”
“You’re suggesting I was insolent before and respectful afterward?
Xie Zhen is moody; I was merely adapting to the situation,”
Qin Wanyang angrily retorted, but his rebuttal was somewhat weak.
He had intended to rally some people to see if anyone was willing to leave with him…
But unfortunately, upon looking around,
nobody paid him any attention.
Previously, when they were ambushed by the Demon Cultivators of Chi Ling City, he had ordered others to resist and secretly prepared to flee by forming an array, which really damaged morale.
Now, with a formidable enemy at hand, life and death were uncertain.
The servants of the Qin Mansion no longer followed his commands.
At such a moment, whether one could survive was doubtful, and the prestige of the Qin Family had completely lost its effect.
He sighed deeply.
Qin Wanyang no longer spoke, silently following the team southward.
“Not leaving, Princely Heir?”
Wu Yue transmitted his voice softly.
“…I’ll see,” Qin Wanyang bit his teeth, thickening his skin to speak.
Shortly after.
The team then encountered a second group of people.
It was the female Sword Cultivators from Yuqing Pavilion who had escaped from the great ruin’s array patterns and crossed over, along with the Cultivators from Baihua Valley.
These women, riding their swords, were hard not to attract attention.
Moreover, among them, there was also a very eye-catching figure in a red robe.
“Brother Wu!”
From afar, Yu Wenzhong sensed Wu Yue’s presence.
He released his Divine Thought and quickly waved his hand.
“Here they come!”
Wu Yue’s eyes lit up, leading everyone quickly towards them.
“Yuwen Saint, Shang Fairy!”
He looked at the formidable team coming on their swords and let out a sigh of relief; the Jade Scroll left by Xie Zhen had marked the location of the Dragon Array and also vaguely pointed out the approximate location of the Yuqing Pavilion people with Divine Soul.
To survive with the Human Race’s scant strength,
they naturally needed to first band together!
This successful joining of forces was enough to prove that Xie Zhen had not deceived him.
The two groups successfully met, and both were quite delighted.
Now, the situation was very urgent.
Having one more ally was extremely crucial.
Wu Yue did not keep any secrets, and hastily made a copy of the content of the jade scroll, sending it to Shang Yi in Yuqing Pavilion and to Yuwen Saint heig.
“This is…
something good.”
Shang Yi glanced at it casually and was shocked by the content of the jade scroll.
The jade scroll detailed the map within the Great Yue Kingdom, the patrol patterns of the Yin riders, and some inviolable ironclad rules.
Yu Wenzhong asked in surprise, “Brother Wu, where did this come from?”
Wu Yue smiled and said, “Oh, this was a gift from Xie Zhen.
He helped us slay a Great Demon, which had already mastered the power of Tao Rules and might ascend to Demon Venerable at any moment!”
This was indeed good news.
But after he spoke,
The atmosphere at Yuqing Pavilion became subtly bizarre.
Wu Yue noticed the expressions of the female sword cultivators at Yuqing Pavilion, which seemed to suggest an unspoken secret.
Before he could ask,
Qin Wanyang stepped forward, and interrupted with a frown, asking, “Yu Wenzhong, weren’t you with Xie Sheng and Fang Hang?
Where are those two?”
“This…
it’s a long story.”
Yu Wenzhong sighed softly.
After a long pause,
the side of Yuqing Pavilion shared the experiences of the Dragon Array in full detail.
On Wu Yue’s side, everyone exchanged glances.
“Xie Zhen…
killed Prince Jiangning?”
Wu Yue massaged his brow, not knowing what to say.
This news was indeed shocking.
“This makes no sense.”
The person who hated Xie Xuanyi the most was Lin Yu.
Now Lin Yu spoke up, his voice quite calm, “If Xie Zhen were truly a ruthless demon, why would he save us, why would he provide the jade scroll?”
“It’s simple.”
Qin Wanyang scoffed at this moment, “Xie Zhen is not just a demon, but also a hypocrite.
He just wants people to think he’s noble.”
“There must be more to this.”
Wu Yue shook his head, calmly saying, “I don’t know Xie Zhen personally, but I know if he hated Xie Sheng, he would hate us too.
If he were truly a demon, we should not be alive either.”
That night on Yong’an Street,
the enmity between the martial sect, the aristocrats of Northern County, and Xie Zhen was established.
This enmity was indeed real.
The nobles of Northern County had sent many people to Qin Mansion to provoke Xie Zhen and disturb his peace.
This debt,
Xie Zhen had never settled before.
“Especially you.”
Wu Yue looked at Qin Wanyang, saying earnestly, “In public, Xie Zhen should dislike you the most.
He already killed Xie Sheng, why didn’t he kill you too?”
“…”
Qin Wanyang was very angry but also powerless.
He wanted to say that he wasn’t someone who could just be killed by anyone, daring to kill anyone.
But then he thought,
The Qin Family was one of the three great marquis families, and the Jiangning Xie Family was as well.
And Xie Sheng was even the only child of the Xie Family!
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Qin Wanyang immediately became earnest, his complexion somewhat pale; once this ordeal was over, if he lived and returned to the Imperial City, he would never provoke Xie Zhen again.
Why did he feel that this disciple of Xie Xuanyi was as crazy as Xie Xuanyi had been back then?
“Let’s discuss right from wrong once we get out.”
Wu Yue calmly said, “If Xie Zhen killed Xie Sheng, it is indeed up to the Jiangning Xie Family and the Da Sui Sword Palace to settle.
If Xie Zhen didn’t kill, he can certainly verify it with his Heart Lake Divine Soul.”
“Brother Wu is right.”
Shang Yi, who didn’t have a good impression of Xie Zhen, also spoke up now.
She slightly lowered her eyes.
She hadn’t interacted much with Xie Zhen,
but in her heart, she faintly had an answer.
She felt that Xie Zhen was not quite like everyone said.
“Now that we have met, it means that the jade scroll left by Xie Zhen has no problems.”
Yu Wenzhong grinned and said, “If he intended to harm us, those iron riders would not have spared Yuqing Pavilion.
I suppose our meeting now would have been extremely difficult.”
“So…”
Qin Wanyang couldn’t be bothered to say much more, his teeth clenched as he asked, “We’ve gathered so many people here, now what should we do?”
The two groups successfully met,
though it seemed, it didn’t mean much.
“…Stay put.”
Wu Yue leisurely said, “Xie Zhen mentioned in the jade scroll that after our meeting, it’s best to stay far from the ‘main city’ of the Great Yue Kingdom.”
“The further away we are, the lesser the fortune.”
“But correspondingly, it’s also safer.”
