Chapter 136: You are too brave, aren’t you?
Translator: 549690339
As soon as Pei Qianlan had just broken through to First Rank, Gu Yang noticed it. The changes in the earth’s vitality were too obvious, and he felt them without needing to pay attention closely.
Amidst it, an eccentric sword intent, filled with lingering sorrow, was also present.
“It’s the inheritance of a peerless technique!” exclaimed Gu Yang.
He was familiar with this kind of fluctuation, as he had received several peerless techniques himself and could immediately recognize it.
In the simulation he underwent, when he inherited the “Ice Soul Profound Ray Sword”, he had felt the same kind of sword intent.
However, this sword intent completely differed from the “Ice Soul Profound Ray Sword”.
“It’s actually her.”
Gu Yang recognized the one who had inherited the sword intent and broke through to the First Rank. It was the one he had saved twice… Who was it again?
It then dawned on him that he had forgotten to ask her name.
Since she was the princess, he decided to call her Lady of the County for the time being.
Why did she happen to inherit a legacy that could dramatically increase her cultivation level and directly break through the realm?
“Why am I not so fortunate?” Gu Yang questioned.
Gu Yang seriously suspected that the Jinghai King’s ancestors must have been buried in a feng shui treasure land. The fortune of his entire family was astonishingly good.
The Jinghai King himself rose from humble beginnings to become the first King of Great Zhou with a different surname, an inspiring journey.
His two sons, one was a martial arts genius and the other casually pulled out a divine sword which even those in the Divine Power realm couldn’t. Even his daughter got an inheritance and directly entered the First Rank realm.
Compared to this family, his own experiences were truly miserable.
Meanwhile, about a hundred miles away from Jingzhou, on a hilltop, two figures stood hundreds of meters apart, locked in a standoff.
One of them was extremely tall, wearing silver armor and holding a giant sword which shimmered under the moonlight. His mere presence was intimidating.
He spoke in a deep voice, “Lei Hao, you’re just a False Gold Body, it’s enough to deal with other First Ranks, but in front of me you are nothing.”
This man was the world-famous Jinghai King, the top on the First Rank list.
On the opposite side was a man enveloped in lightning, with messy hair, a bare upper body, holding a purple hammer in his hand, and his eyes glowing purple. He was a horrifying sight.
This man was the island’s Lei Hao.
He grunted, “Hmph, Wu Tianqi, you’re only relying on your dragon power. Wait for a few years, when my realm is stable, I will personally cut you down in revenge for killing my father.”
Jinghai King countered, “Don’t assume that I don’t know, you used the Dragon Washing Pond to forcibly build a Gold Body. But if your foundation is not solid, it’s all in vain. You can’t even defeat a First Rank like me, yet you dare to claim yourself as a Divine Power Realm? It’s truly ridiculous.”
Lei Hao, with wounded pride, retorted, “Wu Tianqi, let’s see if you’re still this smug when you return to Jingzhou City. I’ll take some interest now, and settle the rest in three years.”
After saying this, the lightning around him flashed and he flew up into the sky and disappeared.
The Jinghai King watched him leave without hesitation and felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
Days ago, he received an urgent message from Jingzhou City stating that something had happened in the palace. He immediately left to return, but bumped into Lei Hao halfway.
They had been fighting on and off for days without making any progress.
Lei Hao seemed to intentionally hold him up.
With several days passed, what’s the situation in the palace?
He dared not think about it.
Logically, with the elder’s presence, nothing should happen in Jingzhou City.
But, the words Lei Hao just said made him can’t help but worry.
Before dawn, an anxious Jinghai King finally returned to Jingzhou City. When he arrived back at the palace, his eyes first looked towards the direction of Chun Song Courtyard.
He noticed that an incredibly powerful expert was lurking within the palace.
At that moment, several guards spotted him, overjoyed they saluted, “Greetings, Your Highness.”
“Where’s Yinglong?”
“The Crown Prince is safe, only, he has not yet woken up.”
“And the queen?”
“The queen is also safe.”
At this point, he finally put down his worries, “What happened a few days ago?”
The guards followed him, walking and talking, and recounted the assassination attempt on the Crown Prince that happened a few nights ago. Everyone broke out in a cold sweat at the dangerous parts of the story.
“The Red Venerate Sect!”
A murderous aude flashed in the king’s eyes. Dared to attack the palace while he was away, he would remember this.
“Where is that Gu Yang staying?”
“In Chun Song Courtyard.”
He immediately turned towards Chun Song Courtyard.
As Jinghai King reached the entrance of the courtyard, the door squeaked open revealing a young man dressed in green. His eyes were full of profundity and his temperament was ethereal.
With just one look, his heart shuddered.
Over the years, he had always been in seclusion, focusing on cultivation. Therefore, he was completely unaware of the emergence of Gu Yang in the martial arts world.
To his surprise, this gentleman Gu was remarkably young.
Even more astonishing to the Jinghai King was that despite the young man’s seemingly frail physique, he could sense the terrifying power bound within him.
Even if it wasn’t as powerful as his natural dragon force, it was not far behind.
