There was a complicated look in Jiang Yingrong’s eyes. She looked at Ou Yangming’s back view as he left. Although he was not tall, it was as if he could stir up the universe with a single word.
In the known regions of the Big Ruins, the 6 clans, which were the 3 Dragons and the 3 Phoenixes, were the most powerful. Even for the collateral lines of those branches, they could not be provoked by ordinary people. After all, these clans had been established for at least 10,000 years, and their foundations were unimaginably profound. The Big Ruins was known as the cursed land, but there were many treasures within it. Throughout these 10,000 years, no one knew how many trump cards these clans had obtained.
Furthermore, they were people who were tainted with the bloodlines of the Dragons and the Phoenixes. They had even become arrogant and protective of their own. Therefore, no one in the Big Ruins dared to provoke the 3 Dragons and the 3 Phoenixes.
Jiang Qingcheng also walked to Jiang Yingrong’s side and beamed. She said, “I’m going to cheer for Uncle Yu!”
Jiang Yingrong’s finger gently slid down from the tip of the little girl’s nose. She said with a doting expression, “You’re already so old, and yet you’re still so ignorant to be calling him an uncle. On top of that, you don’t eat the ends of a cucumber!”
“The ends of a cucumber are bitter!” Jiang Qingcheng pouted and argued.
“Okay, okay, okay. Everything you say is right.” Jiang Yingrong lovingly stroked her hair.
Master Duan let out a long cry. “How can I, Master Duan, not be involved in this kind of thing?” Seeing that no one was looking at him, the master coughed heavily. “Uhm, I… I’ve met the governor once. When the time comes, I can also put in a few good words.”
He Jian held a carving knife in his hand and did not speak. His face was weathered, but he looked calm.
Jiang Qingcheng pulled her ponytails to her chest. With a respectful expression, she asked, “Grandpa He, where’s Lil’ Man?” She turned her body to the side and looked behind with her big eyes. When she saw that no one was around, she turned her head back.
He Jian’s expression immediately softened. He answered amiably, “Lil’ Man’s learning wood carving!”
Jiang Yingrong was startled. She nodded and praised, “At that time, I thought that Lil’ Man’s murderous aura was too strong. Now, it seems that he’s being well-taught by you, Master He.”
He Jian shook his head. He took a deep breath and said, “As long as Lil’ Man calms his heart and does something, his perseverance is the strongest among all the people I’ve met. He never asks for the reason and once he confirms something, he’ll do as he’s told. Wood carving can calm one’s mind and clear one’s evil aura. No matter how strong the evil aura in his heart is, he’ll be able to merge into it very quickly and display a shocking talent. If the child is properly trained, his future achievements will be limitless.” It was evident that given he said such words, he was already training Lil’ Man to be his successor.
Master Duan was a little unhappy. Back then, he was the one who had “spotted the pearl with his discerning eyes” but now, Old Man He benefited instead.
After letting out a soft snort, he asked in a muffled voice, “Is Lil’ Man not going? This matter is too important to Brother Yu.”
He Jian was stunned for a moment. Then, he stroked his beard and replied to him, “Lil’ Man said he’s not going and that he believes Brother Yu.”
The group of people rushed toward the Governor’s Residence in a mighty manner…
※※※※
Outside the Governor’s Residence, Ji Qi gathered his Qi and exhaled. He blew away all the spiritual Qi within 33 meters from him.
His voice was calm, but it traveled far away. “I’m Ji Qi of the Blood Dragon Clan, and I have come to pay my respects to the governor. I hope that you can meet me, senior.” His voice transformed into an invisible wave that spread out.
“What is it?” A calm and unruffled voice without the slightest bit of emotion was heard.
If it was not for the fact that Jiang Caijin had just gained 50 years of life, given that someone dared to shout so loudly outside his manor, he would have long slapped the person into a meat paste.
“I wish to fight with Yu Tianrui, the alchemy master in the city. I hope that you can approve of it.” The man’s voice was not loud, but there was a strong viciousness in it.
“Oh, you wish to fight?” There was already faint anger in the Venerable One’s voice. ‘The day before yesterday, I had just used a palanquin to invite him to the Governor’s Residence. Today, you’re asking to challenge him. Do you not take me, the Venerable One with the most seniority in the Black Dragon Clan, seriously?’
Ji Qi’s expression changed slightly. Sensing the immense anger in the Venerable One’s words, he could not help but feel his heart thump. He lamented, ‘The young fella hasn’t been in the ancient city for long, and yet he clung to such a powerful figure already.’
Instantly, he was in a dilemma.
SinceJiang Caijin had instructed Jiang Yuping not to leak the news of Ou Yangming refining pills for him, Ji Qi did not know that the young fellow had refined Longevity Pills for the old Venerable One. Furthermore, a single pill could extend one’s life by 50 years. Otherwise, even if Ji Qi had the courage, he would not dare to do this!
Just as Ji Qi was about to retreat, a calm voice was heard.
“Fight!” This voice was not loud and could even be described as subtle. Nonetheless, it was like a clap of thunder in everyone’s ears.
Immediately after, a white-clothed young man approached while the setting sun and blue sky were behind him. The aura on his body slowly condensed and with each step he took, it became stronger. By the time he took his tenth step, his white clothes fluttered, and his aura was as heavy as a mountain. At this instant, he gave people an astounding feeling.
It was at this moment the people from Longevity Alley came together.
Jiang Yingrong’s face was filled with shock. She kept feeling that Ou Yangming’s body was stained with a different kind of brilliance, which made her unable to take her eyes off him.
As for Jiang Qingcheng, she was dazed for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared on her face. Her small face was flushed red, and she leaned over to Jiang Yingrong’s ear and gently exhaled before she commented, “Uncle Yu’s so cool… Oh, no, he’s too cool!” Her growing breasts started to tremble as well.
Jiang Yingrong blushed. She tapped the little girl’s forehead with her finger and scolded, “You’re such a little brat. You only know how to spout nonsense.”
Master Duan also had an excited look on his face as he danced with joy.
Even He Jian’s eyes narrowed slightly as he thought, ‘Just what kind of person are you? There aren’t many people that I can’t see through in this lifetime, and you’re one of them.’.
Ji Qi was struck dumb at first before his face revealed an ecstatic expression. His nose and eyes were all twisted together, and he looked incomparably ferocious. His voice was ruthless as he uttered, “You’re courting death!”
Jiang Yuping’s expression was respectful as he reminded sincerely, “Master Yu, it isn’t worth it to lose your life for a moment’s worth. I can assure you that as long as you are in the ancient city, anyone who wants to harm you in the slightest will be an enemy of the Jiang family.”
The voice stirred up a storm as it spread out.
Ji Qi’s expression changed drastically when he heard this. His tall and big body seemed to have become a little shorter. There was only one thought left in his mind. ‘How’s this possible?’
While the person who spoke was Jiang Yuping, he was also a direct descendant of the Jiang family. His status was lofty and since he said this, it meant that he was representing the Jiang family.
Jiang Yingrong’s eyes also lit up, and she exclaimed internally, ‘What exactly did you do to get the support of the elders in my clan?’ She was getting more curious!
“Thank you for your favor, Elder Jiang. However, as a cultivator, one shouldn’t be afraid of Heaven or Earth, so why should I be afraid of a battle?” Ou Yangming lightly roared. The battle intent on his body was incredibly dense as he wanted to kill a top-grade Spiritualist as an Advanced Spiritualist. ‘So what if you have the Bloodline Power?’ As soon as he finished, he took out the Blazing Fire Cold Cicada, and an overbearing spiritual fluctuation spread out in all directions.
At this moment, Ou Yangming was exceptionally dazzling.
Master Duan felt complicated on the inside. He had never thought that Master Yu and the Governor’s Residence shared such a close relationship. When he thought of what he previously said in the Longevity Alley, he only felt a burning pain on his face. He looked at Ou Yangming with some hidden bitterness and thought to himself, ‘I was worried for nothing.’
Nevertheless, he also knew that ever since Ou Yangming came to Longevity Alley, there was an invisible white line that connected the few of them together.
A light flashed in Jiang Caijin’s eyes. He muttered to himself, ‘I’ve underestimated him.’ He rolled up his sleeves and nodded as he said, “You may fight!”
Ji Qi’s eyes flashed with blood. In just a short time, it was as if he had fallen from heaven into hell and crawled back to heaven from hell. His face turned cold and he said, “You’re courting death, so you can’t blame others.”
“Cut the crap!” Ou Yangming did not say much. His body moved, and he landed on the training field inside the Governor’s Residence.
The square was 3 kilometers long, and there was enough space for 2 people to use it.
Ji Qi licked his lips and shouted coldly, “Lil’ Man’s blood essence is mine, and so is your life!”
“Noisy!” Ou Yangming scoffed, then his golden mental power spread out like waves. The patterns on the Blazing Fire Cold Cicada instantly lit up, and countless tiny runes jumped.
“Stone Awl Art!” He entered the thoroughly meticulous state, then he raised his hand in the air and pressed down.
At this point, with him as the core, the area within 333 meters from him collapsed at the same time.
Then, the bluestones on the training field surged up like blue waves.
“Hmph, you’re just playing tricks!” Ji Qi snorted and took out a 1-meter-long sword from a poor-quality interspatial bag. Blood Qi filled the air, and the spiritual Qi in his dantian surged into the long sword, filling the area of 33 meters around him with blood mist.
“Quick!” As Ou Yangming’s voice reverberated, numerous stone awls the size of a person’s hug shot into the sky. They spun rapidly and were tremendously sharp. They surrounded Ji Qi from all directions like torrential rain formed by stone awls. They were dense and urgent, and they were surrounded by scattered rocks.
“It’s just a small trick. If you only have this kind of combat power, you’ll die today!” Ji Qi’s voice came from within the bloody mist.
A red sword mark tore through the blood mist and painted half of the sky red as it slashed towards the stone awls.
Wherever it passed, the stone awls crumbled inch by inch. From afar, it looked like a sword light had forcefully blasted out a 6-meters-wide white mark on a circular plate made of stone awls.
Ou Yangming’s expression was still as calm as an ancient well. He thought to himself, ‘A top-grade Spiritualist in the Big Ruins is indeed much stronger than those in the outside world, but so what?’
Immense pride surged in his heart. He pressed his palm down again, and the stone awls that blotted out the sky and covered the earth burst out even more fiercely. At the same time, numerous stone awls pressed down on the mark that had been blasted out. This red sword mark was instantly filled by the stone awls, which grew in number and became heavier.
“Bury!” As Ou Yangming squeezed his fingers together, the blood-colored sword mark instantly dissipated.
Amidst the blood mist, Ji Qi’s expression was slightly solemn as he thought, ‘You’re quite capable indeed. Who knows how many powerhouses have died under this attack? I didn’t expect it to be blocked so easily this time. That said, I’ve only used 30% of my strength so far. Today… You’ll surely die!’
