Chapter 227 – Encountering Acquaintances! (1/2)
After he slapped Hu Zongyuan flying, Daoist Zui gazed at Yu Heng and said, “I’ve met that kid, and failing to retain him as a disciple is the Sword Sect’s loss. You and all those disappointing fellows of the Sword Sect are at fault. However, I’m not a member of the Sword Sect now, so I don’t want to interfere in this matter as well. When you return, tell Su Muzhe that if he doesn’t want the Sword Sect to be destroyed at his hands, then choose a decent person to manage the Sword Sect before he goes into closed door cultivation.”
When he spoke up to here, Daoist Zui suddenly looked at Su Qings.h.i.+ and said, “This little girl isn’t bad, she’s the one!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he paid no further attention to Yu Heng. Daoist Zui swept the others in the surroundings with his gaze before he said, “The rules are the rules, and I don’t want to break them. However, all of you can dream of breaking the rules as well!” As soon as he finished speaking, a strand of sword light suddenly flashed, and then Hu Zongyuan’s right arm carried a strand of fresh blood while it was instantly thrown into the air in the distance.
“The reason I spared your lowly life was because I want everyone to know that even though the Sword Sect has fallen into decline, not just anyone can bully and humiliate it!” As he gazed at Hu Zongyuan who had a ghastly pale countenance, Daoist Zui spoke in a cold voice, and then his figure flashed and vanished on the spot….
When he saw Daoist Zui vanish, Yu Heng smiled bitterly. He’d never imagined that his first meeting with his Martial Uncle Zui in the last 100 years would actually be like this. When he thought of what his Martial Uncle Zui had said just now, Yu Heng sighed lightly and said in his heart, Was I really too soft? But with the current state of the Sword Sect, it truly shouldn’t make enemies with anyone!
Yu Heng shook his head and stopped thinking about all of this. Because from now onward and until the Sect Master emerged from his closed door cultivation, the Sword Sect would start to be managed by Su Qings.h.i.+.
Even though Daoist Zui wasn’t a member of the Sword Sect, his word was like the law in the Sword Sect and no one would disobey it. Even the Sect Master wouldn’t. Since he’d said that Su Qings.h.i.+ was to be the Sword Commanding Elder, then even those old seniors of the sect wouldn’t have any objections!
At this moment, Su Qings.h.i.+ just gazed at the direction of Ascension Mountain Range in silence….
In the forest, Yang Ye was instantly excited after Daoist Zui left. Why? Because the corpse of a Spirit Rank Darkbeast was lying in front of him. The corpse of a Spirit Rank expert! Every single part of it was a treasure! Of course, Yang Ye had only taken a liking to two things. The first was its Inner Core. However, Yang Ye didn’t even get to gaze at it for long before the little fellow had directly taken the Inner Core in its arms….
As he gazed at the little fellow who announced its owners.h.i.+p of the Inner Core, Yang Ye rolled his eyes because the little fellow was even more anxious than him. The Inner Cores of Darkbeasts could improve the little fellow’s strength, so the Spirit Rank Inner Core was naturally for the little fellow.
Besides the Inner Core, Yang Ye had taken a liking to one more thing, and it was the Spirit Rank Darkbeast’s skin. Because if it was utilized to make leather armor, then it would at least be at the Earth Rank!
Right when Yang Ye was about to skip Man s.h.i.+’s corpse, a group of people suddenly appeared in Yang Ye’s field of vision. Based on their dressing, they ought to be the disciples of clans and independent cultivators. There were around 15 of them, and at this moment, they were walking towards Yang Ye. This caused Yang Ye to frown, but in next to no time, he directly disregarded them, and then he withdrew Violet Spirit and started to skin the corpse.
The violet mink on his shoulder blinked, and then it disregarded those people and continued playing with the Inner Core in its little claws….
In next to no time, they arrived 30m away from Yang Ye, and they finally stopped after moving another 15m forward. Their gazes descended onto Man s.h.i.+’s corpse that lay on the ground, and a wisp of greed arose in their eyes when they laid eyes on the corpse. On the other hand, when they saw the Inner Core that the little fellow was playing with, the greed in their eyes had been replaced by burning desire!
“Brother Yang!” Right at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded out from within the group, and it caused Yang Ye to immediately stop skinning the corpse and look towards the group.
Yang Ye was rather surprised when he saw the three people that stood at the back of the group because he knew them. They were none other than Huang Qing, Qing Hai, and the intelligent Hai Xue that he’d met once some time ago.
The three of them walked forward slowly. Huang Qing who was in the lead of their group of three said, “I felt you were slightly familiar just now, but I never expected that it would really be Brother Yang. What a coincidence!”
The surprise in Yang Ye’s eyes grew even deeper when he heard this, and then he asked. “All of you didn’t gather at Cloudfall Gorge?” Because Yang Ye noticed that these people seemed to not recognize him….
Huang Qing shook his head and said, “All of us didn’t. Right, let me introduce someone to you!”
As he spoke, Huang Qing turned around to look at a handsome young man at the side and said, “Brother Yang, this is Brother Nangong Yan. He’s the Young Master of the Nangong Clan that’s one of the four great clans in the Imperial Capital. Brother Nangong is just like Brother Yang, he’s an extraordinarily monstrous genius as well, and he has already attained the ninth level of the First Heaven Realm at such a young age! After we parted ways with you on that day, we encountered him and formed a group with him to hunt King Rank Darkbeasts on Ascension Mountain Range. So, we didn’t head to Cloudfall Gorge!”
