Chapter 817: A Grand Show



Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
The dragon-shaped airboat flew over the border between Gaozhou Province and Youzhou Province as swiftly as a bolt like a majestic golden dragon . . .

The mouth of the airboat was a huge, top-quality crystal cover which was made up of natural polished crystals . Although it could prevent wind, rain and airflow, it could not block one's vision .

Two people were standing in the crystal cover and looking down at the mountains, rivers and white clouds with glasses in their hand . . .

"We've already passed Yangui Mountain Range . We must be in Youzhou Province now!" A young man at his 20s with sword-shaped eyebrows and sparkling eyes in white clothes with a longsword at his waist overlooked the land and uttered with a calm and arrogant look .

"Brother Cangwu, have you been here before?" the other man of the similar age with narrow and long blue eyes turned around and asked with a smile . Although this man looked young, his narrow and long eyes looked very scheming .

"It is my first time!" That young man in white clothes replied, "This lower province could barely have any splendid figure . Besides the 10,000 miles' mountains and rivers, all the other things are really boring . "

"As Brother Cangwu is very ambitious, few commoners could be favored by you! However, there may be someone splendid in this lower province . As Youzhou province is established, some splendid figures in the local major clans of Youzhou Province may compete for the governorship of Youzhou Province!"

With a shrewd light in eyes, the youth in white clothes asked, "Brother Tianqi, what do you mean?"

"I was told that Zhang Taixuan the Count Longwind had made a lot of military exploits in the earth-elements realm in order to compete for the governorship of Youzhou Province . He had awakened many powerful ancestral bloodlines . His rune equipment craftsmanship and "Breaking-sun Sutra" also reached an unrivaled level . Isn't such a person splendid?"

The youth in white clothes sneered, "As for the branch of Count Longwind, only Lord Huaiyuan is an influential figure . After Lord Huaiyuan, the branch of Count Longwind has vanished in the public . Although Huaiyuan Palace has rooted in Waii Sub-continent so many years, they only occupied a corner; they didn't even take a half of the sub-continent . Although this holy war has broken out for less than 10 years, Huaiyuan Palace has already retreated to Taixia Country . Although the clever rabbit has three burrows, plus he founded Yanghe Prefecture in a short period, which is admirable; he still lacks the arrogance of Lord Huaiyuan . Lord Huaiyuan could be promoted to General West Expedition in the God's Will Army, one of the top four imperial armies in Taixia Country . Look at his offspring, who could only compete for the governorship of a lower province, which is even lower than Class 5 . Even though Zhang Taixuan had tried his best, he still could not promote to an earth knight . His achievements are too common . Although being talented and ambitious, he is only limited to one province . He might be splendid; however, it's just like a flash in the pan!"



"How about Lu Dingzhi in Spiritualmaple Prefecture? This guy has promoted to a knight before 30 . He served as the coin-casting commissioner of Ministry of Finance of Taixia Country in Gold Rock Sub-continent . He has made a lot of achievements . I was told that Lord Hong of the Ministry of Finance favored him so much . Spiritualmaple Prefecture is also a deep-rooted local major clan in Youzhou Province . He also intends to compete for the governorship of Youzhou Province . Isn't this guy splendid?"

"I was told that Lu Dingzhi 1 had awakened his ancestral bloodline the moment he came to this world . As he was born with the fragrance of irises, he was named Dingzhi by elders . When he was young, Lu Dingzhi had a great potential to make military exploits in the earth-elements realm . Pitifully, he only served as a coin-casting commissioner in the Ministry of Finance . Gold Roc Sub-continent is just a remote area with barbarous people . They could barely have a knight . They admired the majesty of the Hua people in Taixia Country and became very docile and peaceful . Lu Dingzhi was like an emperor in Gold Roc Sub-continent . After becoming a coin-casting commissioner there for so many years, his arrogance had weakened greatly . He's just a guard . Lu Clan in Spiritualmaple Prefecture has run business in Youzhou Province for so many years, they might be more powerful than Zhang Clan in Yanghe Prefecture . However, Lu Dingzhi has lost his masculinity . Splendid what?" The youth in white clothes said .

"What about Gu Qingyun in the Gu's Valley of Eastriver Prefecture? Gu Qingyun is very famous across Youzhou Province . He has promoted to battle spirit at the age of 16 and is regarded as a genius who appears once in a 100 years . He was taken as a disciple by an elder of Heavens Holding Pavilion . It shocked the entire Youzhou Province when Gu Qingyun entered Heavens Holding Pavilion . There were always messages about Gu Qinyun these years, all of them were amazing . It was said that Gu Qingyun had promoted to a knight . Isn't this guy splendid?"

"Just because he was talented at a young age doesn't mean that he will become great when he grows old . It's never too late to judge him when he chops off over 10 heads of demon knights!"

The youth in blue clothes let out a sigh, "After listening to your analysis, brother Changwu, our journey to Youzhou Province became meaningless!"

"Yes, even I think so!" The youth in white clothes shook his head as he continued pitifully, "I was told that the black-robe knight Gorath who had exterminated all the demons across Waii Sub-continent with the terrifying ptomaine miasma reappeared in Blackhot Sub-continent and devastated the demonized puppets corps there with the same terrifying ptomaine miasma once again . He even killed a demon knight in Blackhot Sub-continent and exterminated two Three-eye Association clans . I was preparing to look for Gorath in Blackhot Sub-continent; however, I received the command of my master; therefore, I have to escort the Heavens Ball to Youzhou Province!"

"It turns out that brother Cangwu thinks that the black-robe knight Gorath is the very splendid person!" The youth in blue clothes was suddenly enlightened, "Gorath is indeed an able man . His terrifying ptomaine miasma shocked the world and scared all the demonized puppets and demons away . Besides the Eastern Continent, there are so many exotic talents in this world . However, voodoo pharmacists who have promoted to knights like Gorath are rarely seen in Taixia Country . I really wonder where does this guy come from . As he came to Blackhot Sub-continent this time, all the Three-eye Association clans in sub-continents might not sleep and eat well . They will feel like being on tenterhooks . This guy might have become the eyesore of demons . Demons must hate him very much and want to kill him as soon as possible!"

"How do you know that Gorath is not a Hua man in Taixia Country? Why do you think the so-called Gorath is just a fake one who confuses others?" The young knight in white clothes asked suddenly .

With a shrewd light in his narrow and long eyes, the youth in blue clothes replied, "You mean . . . "

"There's an old man in my sect, who once traveled in Western Continent for many years . He's proficient in voodoo skills and knows about the voodoo pharmacists and their sects in Western Continent . A few months ago, he went to Waii Sub-continent alone and collected the Full Moons Demon Miasma in Waii Sub-continent for study . After studying the Full Moons Demon Misama, the elder asserted that no voodoo pharmacist or sect in Western Continent could cultivate such a terrifying ptomaine miasma . Gorath is definitely a master-level hermit among the voodoo pharmacists!"



"Ahh, I see!"

"Topple over an entire subcontinent with his own ability; drive demons and numerous voodoo pharmacists mad for him; scare Three-eye Association; curb the puppet worms of demons with a Full Moons Demon Miasma . Such a person, although we don't know whether he's righteous or evil, is undoubtedly splendid . What a hero!" The youth in white clothes praised in a heroic way .

. . .

When the two young men stood on the head of the dragon-shaped airboat, the other two elders were drinking playing the game of go in a room of the airboat . They were leisurely immersed in the world between black and white .

"Young men . . . " An elder smiled as he shook his head . At the same time, he put a white piece on the checkerboard .

"Didn't we also belittle the bigwigs at such a young age?" Another old man with a swarthy face revealed a tolerant smile . After thinking for a second, he put a black piece on the checkerboard, "Without these ambitious young men, our Taixia Country would be lifeless . Whatever, we could not perform on the stage . I like Cangwu among the new elites of your Heavens Fortune Sect . This boy will be an able man in the future . How about lending him to me for some years? I will give you back a governorship of a medium-level province!"

"Too insolent, he needs more practice!" The old man put down a white piece as he replied .

"If he needs practice in the earth-elements realm, why don't you let him escort the Heavens Ball to Youzhou Province? This Youzhou Province is just a lower province . Even if I want to select a governor for Youzhou Province from some local rascals and want to borrow the treasure of your Heavens Fortune Sect, the best candidate has nothing to do with you motherf*cking Heavens Fortune Sect . How dare you Heavens Fortune Sect interfere with my domestic affair? Do you believe that I will lead my army to destroy your nestle?" The old man who was using the black piece suddenly goggled his eyes, which looked as threatening as the king of hell .

The old man using the white piece just stroked his mustache and smiled . He didn't care about the other old man with a swarthy face at all .

Watching the smiling old man for a few seconds, the old man using the black piece finally let out a sigh . At the same time, his "threatening" look faded away; instead, he started to roll his eyes in a cunning way, "Alright, all the things in the world have been guessed by your Heavens Fortune Sect . You will never suffer a loss . I will see what you have come with to Youzhou, where, even birds would not like to take a shit in!"

Only after 10 more minutes, the black dragon on the checkerboard was going to be chopped . Pinching the black piece, the old man with a swarthy face frowned and formed a character "川" on his forehead . Suddenly he pointed at the window and said, "Ahh, look, Yang Feiqing the old woman is coming for you . . . "

After hearing his words, the old man using a white piece faintly turned his face . He turned around only to see nobody . When he realized that something was wrong, he had heard a thunder-like sneeze, which almost caused the entire airship to shake . After turning back, he found all the crystal pieces on the checkerboard had been shattered . Rubbing his nose, the old man using the black piece revealed an embarrassed smile, "Erm . . . it's too windy . I caught a cold . My sneeze has destroyed all the pieces on the checkerboard . How about having another round . . . "

The old man using the white piece was so angry that he even started to quiver all over . He pointed at the old man using the black piece and swore, "You timid old Cheng, you're too impudent . You've formed 3 chakras, you tell me you caught a cold? You've already lost the game . Hurry! 5 kgs' imperial falling frost tea leaves . If it's one bit less, I will fight you to death . . . "

"We did not come to the end . My dragon was still on the checkerboard . Why do you say so?" The old man who held black pieces justified while straightening up his neck .

"I remember the former battle situation, how about reappearing them on the checkerboard and continuing it?"

"Haha, I don't remember it . I have a bad memory . What if you fabricate a false battle situation for your benefit . . . " The old man with a swarthy face insisted on his opinion .

A powerful, dangerous qi appeared over the old man using the white piece, "Do you believe that I can stomp your ugly airboat into pieces?"

"Just do that . It's just an airboat . I have too many such airboats at home . But, as your Heavens Ball is in the airboat . If this airboat was destroyed, it would drop off . I will not care about the loss!"

The old man using white pieces couldn't stand the opponent anymore as he punched the other old man's eye socket . . .

With this punch, the eye socket of the old man with a swarthy face became as swollen as that of a giant panda . However, he was not angry at all; instead, he burst out into laughter, "Well, one punch for 10 imperial falling frost tea leaves . If you don't agree, I will gift you 5 kgs' falling frost tea leaves . You owe me a punch now . I will punch you back whenever I want . . . how about . . . continuing . . . "

The old man using white pieces glared at the old man with a swarthy face for quite a while . Finally, he took a seat . The old man with a swarthy face moved his lip faintly . The door was then opened while someone carried in a new checkerboard and two jars of pieces . The two old men started a new round .

. . .

The airboat moved almost 700 miles per hour in the sky . After entering the territory of Youzhou Province, it flew 2 hours before arriving at a plain with beautiful landscape, lush water resources and grasses . A magnificent city appeared on the plain .

It was a big city, a genuinely magnificent city . It was the only Class A city in Youzhou Province as of far and the capital city of Youzhou Province——Youzhou Province .

The entire Youzhou city was as square as a square imperial jade seal . The length and width of the city wall lasted over 25 miles respectively . The inner area of the city covered 1,000 square miles . The city wall was higher than 70 m while being matched with powerful city-defense weapons . Even large-scale airships could directly take off from and land on the city wall . Such a magnificent city was very overwhelming on the plain .

Youzhou City had just been founded for less than 5 years . The founding of this city also symbolized that Youzhou Province was promoted to an official lower province of Taixia from a wild province .

If in Waii Sub-continent or other remote places, this city would definitely make any country and clan proud of . However, in Taixia Country, as was commented by the old man with a swarthy face, even birds would not take a shit in Youzhou Province .

The over 500-m long dragon-shaped airboat landed in a location of Youzhou City quietly . All the officers of the city had been long waiting for them on both sides of the hatch of the airboat and dared not even breathe smoothly .

When the hatch was opened, the black-face old man appeared while an extremely powerful qi covered the entire Youzhou City at once .

He wore a fiery costume with a Kylin on it in a 10 cm-wide purple-gold rune jade waistband . His current majestic look could never be matched by that when he played the game of go with the old man who held white pieces .

The old man looked around with his shrewd eyes while all the officers in Youzhou City hurriedly bowed deeply towards him .

"Commander, Your Majesty!"
