Chapter 86: Chapter 74: Sleepless Embracing the Shadow (Seeking Subscriptions) _2

He moved incredibly fast, so fast that no one in the room could react, or even see his afterimage. Neat slits appeared on everyone’s neck.

When Qi Yuan’s sword tip rested on the neck of the one-eyed man, blood spurted from the necks of the eight men behind him. The sight was spectacular followed by the thumping sound of bodies hitting the ground.

"You really don’t know Qiyue Town?" Qi Yuan pushed his sword into the one-eyed man’s throat as blood flowed.

The one-eyed man dared not speak.

"Die!"

A sword thrust into the throat, Qi Yuan, full of murderous aura.

For some reason, his clothes slowly changed color at this moment, as if dyed red with blood.

Qi Yuan killed eight men with a single sword, as if he was killing insects.

Upon seeing this, the green-haired man had a look of shock and deep caution in his eyes.

"Are you looking for someone?" He asked tentatively.

"Yes, I want to go to Yuehuang Kingdom, Qiyue town. I have a friend who said she would wait for me there," Qi Yuan’s voice sounded somewhat despondent and frustrated.

This contrasted strongly with his swift execution of the eight men earlier.

"But I can’t find Yuehuang Kingdom, nor can I find Qiyue Town, which should be... right by the old Qilichun tree, under the old Qilichun tree."

Qi Yuan held his sword, his gaze cold and stern, as if he wanted to split the old Qilichun tree in half with one stroke.

The green-haired man pondered upon hearing this.

"Among all the countries and cities near the ancient Qilichun tree, it seems that only our Yuehuang clan corresponds to what you described.

I’m not sure if your friend misspoke, or if there’s some other misunderstanding.

Or perhaps, it’s actually Qiyue lake, near which there’s a branch of our Yuehuang clan, similar to a small town.

Why don’t you stay with our Yuehuang clan, and let me know who you’re looking for, so we can help find her."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan gave them a cold look: "You won’t deceive me, will you?"

He lifted his hand, wiped the blood off the blade with his fingers. The blood of the one-eyed man’s throat still stained the sword.

The green-haired man shuddered inexplicably at his words.

"We certainly won’t deceive you, but our Yuehuang clan can’t guarantee that we’ll find your old friend for sure," said the green-haired man.

The reason he did this was that he saw the strength in Qi Yuan.

Now, besieged by the Hundred Cities Alliance, the Yuehuang clan was struggling to hold on, an extra ally would always be a good thing.

"Fine." Qi Yuan, without any better options, agreed.

He might be able to get more useful information from the Yuehuang clan.

At this time, the green-haired man said, "Our Yuehuang clan is currently under siege by the Hundred Cities Alliance, and you may be implicated if you stay here."

"It doesn’t matter," said Qi Yuan.

He wasn’t concerned about any of this, as long as he could see Jin Li.

"May I ask for a description and information about the person you’re looking for?" The green-haired man asked, humbly.

"Her name is Jin Li. She’s the Queen of Nanqian. I don’t know what she looks like, but she should be very beautiful, and she’s not old. Around the time when the ancient Qilichun tree is covered with snow, she should turn 18."

Note: Women in Wangyue Continent reach adulthood at 18.

The green-haired man quietly noted down all the information.

He asked, "So this lady is waiting for you in Qiyue Town?"

"Yes," said Qi Yuan.

"May I know your name so that we can spread the word?" The green-haired man looked at Qi Yuan, "If she knows you are looking for her, she might come here."

"Qi Yuan," Qi Yuan replied.

"Great!" The green-haired man remembered all the information, "Why don’t you come back to our Yuehuang clan with us?"

Qi Yuan looked at the Qiyue lake and then at the ancient Qilichun tree, "No, I’ll wait here. If there’s no news in half a month, I’ll leave."

After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he slowly walked towards the lake.

He found a piece of green stone to sit on. He stared at the green lake in a daze.

The green-haired man and members of the Yuehuang clan exchanged glances, silently cleaning up the bodies of the warriors from the Hundred Cities Alliance.

They quietly retreated.

Qi Yuan sat alone by the lake, holding the sword, the moonlight falling on his shoulder, staring at the lake, seemingly lost in thought.

...

"He killed nine warriors with a single sword, including a king-level and eight prince-level warriors. He must be a Supreme Emperor,"

The girl dressed in green was Leng Yue, an apprentice of the Yuehuang clan, Qiyue branch.

She was left in charge after the Shaman left to meet old friends.

Standing on the tower, she looked at the man sitting quietly by the lake.

"Find the person he’s looking for. Instruct the people below.

An emperor is worthy of our recruitment," ordered Leng Yue.

"Yes," agreed the green-haired man, then left.

Leng Yue stood alone on the rainy tower, looking at the man’s back and sighed.

"If I remember correctly, the bridal emperor also waited here for the god, didn’t she?"

"That’s a pity."

"The bridal emperor never waited for the god, and sleeps here forever, leaving only a new bridal emperor while the darkest hour is upon us!"

The Hundred Cities Alliance, minions of evil, must be exterminated!" Leng Yue’s face showed a hint of murderous intent.

When the morning sun fell on Qiyue Lake, the resting bird was suddenly startled and flew away from Qi Yuan’s shoulder.
