Chapter 272: Chapter 84: Meeting the Sixth Prince

Overall, Qing Yu was quite satisfied with Ji Tang.

Shadow Pavilion had provided several candidates, but Qing Yu had taken a fancy to Ji Tang. The others seemed stronger than Ji Tang, but, ultimately, they were too old and lacked potential.

Certainly among them were individuals at the Innate Eighth Layer and even Ninth Layer, but did Qing Yu lack people at the Innate Stage?

With the Absorption Technique in hand, there could be as many expendable fighters at the Innate Stage as needed.

What Qing Yu needed were those who could advance to the Divine Origin, and even to the True Pill Realm. Such people were indispensable to the Azure Dragon Association, which lacked powerful figures in its upper echelons.

"Very well," Qing Yu’s right hand lightly lifted, an invisible force helping the bowing Ji Tang to rise, "You will not regret today’s decision."

As he spoke, Qing Yu flicked his wrist and produced a secret manual, tossing it to Ji Tang, "Considering your Martial Arts path, it must be the ’Blood Refining Saber Technique’ passed down after the destruction of the Blood Demon Sect. Since it is a Blood Dao Martial Arts, this secret manual is now bestowed upon you."

The Blood Demon Sect, once a Great Sect of the Demon Path, in its prime, once caused a massive Blood Tribulation with the power of just one sect, filling the whole world with murderous energy for its Sect Hierarch to cultivate with. But it was this that provoked universal fury, ultimately leading to its destruction by the combined forces of the Righteous and Demonic.

Um... Within a millennium’s history, only the Blood Demon Sect and Ji Muqing had caused the worldly society of Martial Arts to unite against them—a testament, no doubt, to their legendary status.

After the Blood Demon Sect’s fall, the myriad Divine Skills and secret techniques that spread did not completely vanish; after all, when Martial Arts are powerful enough, who truly cares about good or evil?

Not only those from the Demon Path participated in the eradication of the Blood Demon Sect, but the Righteous Sect as well, who also plundered quite a few secret martial arts manuals. Nowadays, most Blood Dao Martial Arts in the world are related to the Blood Demon Sect in one way or another. The ’Blood Sacrifice to Heaven’ Qing Yu acquired from the Cangsheng Sect also bore the shadow of the Blood Demon Sect.

Since it was related to blood, naturally, the manual Qing Yu passed to Ji Tang was the ’Blood Coagulation Record’ from Bai Yifei. Qing Yu looked forward to the dazzling performance that would result from the intersection of Martial Arts from different worlds.

"Thank you, Dragon Chief." Ji Tang tucked the ’Blood Coagulation Record’ into his chest and expressed his gratitude.

"There’s no need for formalities," Qing Yu said.

"Over there..."

"Brothers, follow me."

...

Accompanied by noisy sounds, a group of big men brandishing large sabers charged over with a menacing air, who, by their appearance, seemed to be mountain bandits, the same kind as the dead bodies on the ground.

"Well then, I won’t disturb your training any further." Shaking his head uninterestedly, Qing Yu gestured to Bai Feng, the White Phoenix, who was preening its feathers nearby, and leapt onto its spacious back.

With powerful beats of its wings, the White Phoenix soared into the sky, ignoring the screams from below as it flew northward.

Next, it was time to keep an appointment.

.................

Outside the Divine Capital, within the Ten Li Pavilion.

Feng Chaonan wore a stern expression as he looked at the snow-laden branches outside the pavilion.

"Your Highness, how dare Gong Ziyu ask a noble of the Imperial Family to wait here for him, a man of the worldly society; how utterly presumptuous," said Little Li Zi, the little eunuch behind Feng Chaonan, in a shrill voice.

"It doesn’t matter, Gong Ziyu has the right to make this prince wait."

Feng Chaonan spoke confidently, but as he constantly rubbed the jade ring on his thumb with his index finger, it was evident that he was quite anxious at heart.

"Your Highness, Sixth Prince, you are too kind."

As the sound of giant wings flapping filled the air, a figure donning a bronze mask floated down gracefully from the sky, softly landing on the still snowy ground.

"I apologize for the disrespect, Sixth Prince. I encountered some matters on the way that delayed me for two hours. Please forgive me!"

The apology was uttered in a low and sonorous tone by multiple voices in unison, which seemed rather peculiar and devoid of much sincerity.

Yet, there were those who were not willing to let it slide so easily.

"How dare you, not showing proper etiquette upon meeting the Sixth Prince!" A shrill and squeaky voice said, naturally belonging to the little eunuch, Little Li Zi.

Saying so, a sinister figure leaped out of Ten Li Pavilion, its icy and frosty claws reaching for the bronze mask.

Feng Chaonan did not stop Little Li Zi’s reckless act; one might say this was something he had instructed beforehand.

Even though Gong Ziyu had the privilege to make others wait, it seemed better to see such privilege proven before one’s eyes. Trained from a young age with secret techniques and medicines by the Imperial Family, Little Li Zi was a death soldier. His strength within the Innate Eighth Layer might not match those younger talents in the future, but his current power was far from weak.

Let’s see how Gong Ziyu would handle this.

The sinister claw force fiercely grasped at the bronze mask, but what it caught was nothing more than an illusion.

Little Li Zi, stunned by hitting nothing but an illusion, should have anticipated being outmatched by Gong Ziyu, but he didn’t even realize when his opponent had disappeared.

Perhaps because he was relieved of that certain ’something,’ he felt lighter. Eunuch martial arts are primarily focused on speed and treachery, and Little Li Zi thought of himself as one of the fastest, yet now he didn’t even notice the moment his opponent vanished.

The gap between them was much wider than imagined.

"Not bad speed, almost comparable to the beloved disciple of the Chasing Wind Divine Constable, Luo Yan."

The deep and mellow voice spoke from close by his side, and a slender palm gently patted Little Li Zi’s shoulder, "However, recklessness must be punished."

A stream of True Qi, several times colder than his own, poured into his shoulder, causing Little Li Zi to feel as if he were plunged into an icehouse. His fair skin instantly turned a shade of purple, and he couldn’t help but curl up and tremble uncontrollably on the ground.

His body made contact with the cold snowy ground, but at this moment, the snow that should have brought chilliness instead provided a measure of warmth to Little Li Zi.

Mysterious Netherworld Divine Palm, the only worthwhile gain from the randomly drawn character cards Qing Yu had in the past four months.

Random draws might range throughout the Innate Stage, from the Innate First Layer to the Ninth Layer. Obviously, Qing Yu’s luck wasn’t that great in the last five months; the only one from the Innate Nine Layers was the Xuanming Elders.

After dealing a quick punishment, Qing Yu smiled towards Feng Chaonan, who still stood there unmoved, "Just a small penalty, Your Highness, Sixth Prince wouldn’t mind, right?"

"Of course not, it’s only right to punish a servant who has been disrespectful." Although his right hand clenched white behind his back, Feng Chaonan still greeted him with a smile.

Without the Turtle Mirror, Qing Yu wouldn’t have been able to detect the towering rage in Feng Chaonan’s heart from his appearance alone.

’Surely, as one of the two most likely contenders for the throne, Feng Chaonan is not simply depending on his maternal family’s background.’

Qing Yu inwardly sighed at the Sixth Prince’s forbearance and walked leisurely across the snowy ground, stepping into Ten Li Pavilion.

"Then I thank Your Highness, the Prince, for your great generosity."

"Alright, now that you’re here, let’s get straight to the point. Sixth Prince, you were willing to come here today, so I presume you’ve already considered it, regarding the matter of cooperating with our Azure Dragon Association."
