Chapter 496 - Palace Master of Reincarnation Palace (1/2)

However, just as Yin Nian was planning to use a magic treasure to save his life, a jade pendant engraved with lotus flowers hanging from his waist suddenly flashed.

Yin Nian immediately exclaimed excitedly, “Master, save me!”

The instant Yan Tianhen’s long arrow shot forward, a firm sword Qi descended from above, gently nipping the flower in the bud and deflecting the Yin flame arrow. The Yin flame arrow brushed past Yin Nian three inches away from his ear. With a loud Bang, it burnt the entirety of a thick tree vine in front of him to ashes.

Yin Nian, “…” Mama ah, Master must be scaring him like this on purpose!

Bifang excitedly let out a cry and carried Yin Nian as it dived to the ground, rolling and crawling until it was hiding behind the man standing on the ground.

Bifang chirped a few times, then turned into a bird the size of a crane and stood on its single leg. It even rubbed its head into the man’s hand, looking very wronged, while it flicked its other injured wing, as if being coquettish.

“Injured?” The young man’s voice was full of magnetism, with the final tone being somewhat higher, which was very pleasant to the ears.

“Chirp chirp–” Hearing this, Bifang became even more energetic.

Yin Nian yelled, “Master, I knew you wouldn’t leave your disciple on his own. That damned Beast Emperor dared to shamelessly set me up. This disciple was almost ambushed and killed. Fortunately, I escaped quickly, or else Master wouldn’t have been able to see me again!”

When the young man heard this, he said impassively, “Continue practicing your basic swordsmanship when you return. You will do three additional sets every day from now on.”

Yin Nian looked as if he was struck by lightning. “Heavens ah, kill me instead.”

While they were speaking, Yan Tianhen and the others had already landed.

Just now, Yan Tianhen felt a majestic and boundless aura that could completely crush him. His mind was shocked, and he landed at this time. When he saw the man who had batted away his attack with a casual move, he immediately felt a sense of danger.

The man in front of him wore a mask that covered the upper half of his face, so Yan Tianhen couldn’t see his true appearance. However, even if only the lower half of his face was revealed, it was enough to faintly see the person’s outstanding appearance from the perfect curve of his lower jaw.

However, appearances were easily suppressed by one’s imposing aura. This was especially true for the person in front of them.

Cold and dangerous.

Yan Tianhen saw his long silver hair hanging behind him and somehow suddenly thought of the snow silkworms that only spat out silk once every hundred years and died soon after.

I’m afraid that not even the highest-quality silk produced by the oldest snow silkworm will be able to compare to this man’s white hair.

Bei Shitian gripped the sword hilt in his hand as he stared at the man with narrowed eyes. “Someone from Reincarnation Palace?”

The man’s line of sight remained on Yan Tianhen for a while longer, then he spoke faintly. He only said one word, “Farewell.”

After saying that, he was ready to leave with Yin Nian and Bifang.

However, Yan Tianhen suddenly came to his senses and stepped forward. “Stop for this prince!”

Yin Nian turned his head and sneered, “My master spared your lives, yet you still want to court death?” While saying that, he even gave Yan Tianhen the middle finger.

Yan Tianhen responded with a cold expression, “I am the heir of King Ye and am thus at odds with Reincarnation Palace. Since I met you today, how can I let you leave so easily?”

He couldn’t see how high the black-robed man’s cultivation was, but for some inexplicable reason, he wanted to test it.

Yin Nian showed a rare expression of interest. He twisted his face and looked at Yan Tianhen. “If I was alone, you would’ve been able to stop me. Now that my master is here, all of you guys together can’t even compare to a single finger of his. Did you rush here from thousands of miles away just to deliver us your heads?”

Yan Tianhen’s eyes sank, and he stared at the back of the white-haired man’s head, as if trying to bore holes into his skull. “You don’t even dare to show your face, timidly cowering and hiding away. Could it be that you have no face with which to face the world?”

Yin Nian’s expression immediately turned dark. He rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was about to beat someone up. But before he could speak, he was stopped by the man’s gaze.

“I have a repulsive face that makes people unable to bear looking at me. Indeed, it’s difficult to face people.” The man said lightly, “The miasma here is spreading, and the humidity is too heavy. It is better for Little Prince Yan to leave early.”

Yan Tianhen asked, “Do you know me?”

The man answered, “Few people are ignorant of Little Prince Yan’s reputation within the Nine Lands.”

“Since you know who I am, isn’t it unfair that I don’t know who you are?”

The man seemed to smile at that. “If you want to know my identity, then why beat around the bush?”

Yan Tianhen felt a little ashamed that his intention had been exposed, but he didn’t care about these details, so he said bravely, “That’s precisely right. This prince just wants to know who you are and what your relationship with this Reincarnation Palace is.”

The man’s words were clear, shattered jade. It sounded like the tinkling of spring water as he responded, “I am the head of Reincarnation Palace.”
