Chapter 189 – Courting Death (1/2)

Of course, he wasn’t heading towards the south entirely for the sake of rescuing those disciples of the Sword Sect. After all, he wasn’t their father or mother. Actually, he was mainly going over to see if he could gain any benefits. Because of the little fellow, he could dream of hunting Darkbeasts for Inner Cores.

Since he couldn’t target Darkbeasts, then he could only target humans.

After das.h.i.+ng swiftly with the little fellow for around a few hundreds of kilometers, Yang Ye had encountered some Darkbeasts all along the way. But he’d gone around them from afar because of the little fellow. The reason he didn’t subdue them was that the little fellow didn’t want them….

Yang Ye noticed that the violet mink had become more and more picky towards the quality of the Darkbeasts it subdued….

After traveling over 50km more, Yang Ye suddenly stopped moving and looked not too far ahead.

There were two people gazing vigilantly at him from around 40m away. Moreover, an enormous Darkbeast’s corpse was lying on the ground beside them, and it was still bleeding incessantly….

Obviously, Yang Ye had arrived at the wrong time.

Right when Yang Ye was about to speak, the young man on his left said abruptly, “You’re a disciple of the Sword Sect?”

As he spoke, the young man glanced at the Violet Spirit sword that Yang Ye held in his left hand.

Yang Ye shook his head and said, “I’m just pa.s.sing by. Both of you can continue with your business!” As soon as he finished speaking, he intended to move around then and continue on his way.

“Wait!” Right when Yang Ye was about to go around them, the young man that spoke earlier had spoken once more.

Yang Ye stopped when he heard this, and then he turned his head to look at the young man as he said, “What?”

The young man smiled and said, “There’s no need to be nervous. We brothers have no ill intent. We’re disciples of one of the four great clans of the Imperial Capital, the Yang Clan. I’m Yang Feng and this is my younger brother, Yang Song.”

“The Yang Clan?” Yang Ye frowned and said, “I’ve never heard of it. Do you need something?” He knew that there were numerous wealthy and influential clans in the Imperial Capital. However, he’d never paid attention to all of this, so he was utterly unaware of the Yang Clan….

A wisp of rage flashed through both their eyes when they heard Yang Ye. Moreover, the young man by Yang Feng’s side, Yang Song, intended to flare up but was restrained by Yang Feng.

Yang Feng gazed at Yang Ye and revealed a smile once more as he said, “Since Brother isn’t a disciple of the Sword Sect and have never heard of my Yang Clan, then I presume you’re an independent cultivator of the southern territory. Since Brother has come to partic.i.p.ate in the Ascension Rankings, then your strength should be very good. You ought to be aware of how terrifying the King Rank Darkbeasts on Ascension Mountain Range are. I have a suggestion. Let’s join forces and equally share the Inner Cores we obtain. What do you think?”

Yang Ye was stunned. He’d never expected that these two fellows would actually be intended to drag him into their group. If he possessed a weak strength, then their suggestion would be really good. But unfortunately, the thing he feared the least in the Grand Myriad Mountains was Darkbeasts….

Yang Ye shook his head and said, “There’s no need for that. I have other matters to deal with, so I’ll be leaving!” As he spoke, Yang Ye didn’t stay here any longer and flashed towards the distance.

When he saw Yang Ye refuse, a cold glow flashed in Yang Feng’s eyes as he gazed at Yang Ye’s figure, and he hesitated for a moment before he gave up in the end.

“Why did you let him go!?” Meanwhile, Yang Song spoke with slight displeasure. “Did you see the sword in his hand, it’s clearly not an ordinary sword. Moreover, he’s wearing that many spatial rings. I presume there is a huge number of valuables within it. Most importantly, he’s just an independent cultivator. Even if an independent cultivator possesses some strength, how strong could he be?”

Yang Feng shook his head and said in a low voice, “I’m unable to see through him! Think back to the moment when he saw both of us. Besides a little surprise, there was no fear or vigilance in his eyes. You have to realize that a King Rank Darkbeast was lying by our side, but he was actually not fearful or vigilant towards us at all. What does this represent?”

Yang Feng grunted coldly and said, “You’re just being overcautious. It doesn’t represent anything in my opinion. If you aren’t going to kill him, then I will. But all the treasures in his possession will be mine!” As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he pursued Yang Ye.

Yang Feng’s expression changed, and then he hurriedly followed Yang Song.

.......

Yang Ye who was rus.h.i.+ng forward seemed to have noticed something, and he suddenly stopped. After that, he turned around to look at the young man called Yang Song who’d arrived nearby.
