Chapter 1258: Provocation
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue felt lost when Xiao Monarch didn't even look at them before he left, but they could understand. Xiao Monarch had saved them and their son Ye Xiao twice, so they figured they should show their gratitude. However, they finally got to see Xiao Monarch again but failed to seize the opportunity to say thanks. How could they not feel lost? Then, they thought deeper about it. Xiao Monarch was a super-level cultivator in Qing-Yun Realm, one of the most influential figure. Now, he was back to the world after all the years when people thought he was dead and became even stronger than ever. Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue were only two small figures in the world, so they understood that Xiao Monarch wouldn't pay much attention to them!
[He is too powerful to care about our gratitude!]
”Let's go.”
Yue Shuang said, ”I am afraid there is still a long way to reach Oracle District. We must not waste time here.” Then, she took out some dan beads and handed them out to the others.
Ye Nantian, Yue Gongxue, and the two maids didn't get severely wounded, but they were all injured. Each of them was suffering from an internal injury. They were so weak that even the trails of the top-level Dao Origin Stage enemy's attacks could hurt them!
”Our savior was right before my eyes, yet I couldn't seize the chance to show my gratitude and respect… How am I supposed to live with this regret…” Ye Nantian made a long sigh.
”Perhaps he has something else important to do. Besides, he never has a favorable personality.” Yue Han tried to explain for her brother, ”The entire Qing-Yun Realm is going to fall to the calamity. It is not just concerning a few people or a few sects… I am afraid every sect, everybody in the world will have to face the disaster and splash blood. As a member of the righteous people in Qing-Yun Realm, he must be busy trying to do something about it.”
”Xiao Monarch is such a potent figure in the world. He has bigger issues to care about, naturally, he has no time to pay attention to small figures like us…” Yue Gongxue seemed much more understanding, so she tried to console Ye Nantian.
Ye Nantian nodded and tried to ignore the doubt in his heart. [Why do I feel so familiar with him?]
[It is lucky that I didn't mention the weird feeling of mine to anybody. Otherwise, they might think that I am trying to get closer to Xiao Monarch. I know they would think so, even though they wouldn't say it out. Xiao Monarch and I are both named Ye, but it didn't mean we are connected!]
After thinking about how Xiao Monarch had been cold to him, he believed what he felt was merely his own wishful thinking…
The six of them packed up the belongings and got back on the road. They moved faster on the way to Oracle District this time.
After all the dangerous battles, they had lost a good mood to enjoy the views. All they wanted was to reach Oracle District as soon as possible.
…
On top of a big mountain.
Ye Xiao, Li Wuliang, and Han Bingxue were shocked.
They had five enemies alive, yet they actually didn't get anything useful from the questioning, even though Ye Xiao and Li Wuliang had used some horrible interrogation methods!
The three of them had tortured the five men for a long time. Ye Xiao had used some supreme dan beads several times to bring them back from death and continued the questioning…
Even though the five men in black clothes were all begging for death because of the extreme pain, none of them answered any questions.
Ye Xiao was shocked and a bit frightened, the same as Li Wuliang and Han Bingxue.
First, they were impressed by the five men's integrity. Second, they were astonished by the secret organization's power and influence!
What kind of organizations could train so many cultivators who would unflinchingly do self-sacrifice?
”They are all tough men… Let's not torture them anymore. Just give them a quick death.” Ye Xiao sighed.
Li Wuliang had been thinking about it earlier, so he immediately walked over with the saber in hand and said, ”Guys, let me send you away.”
He paused and then spoke in admiration, ”You are all unyielding men! I, Li Wuliang, respect you! I hope that we can be friends in the next life, so we don't have to fight each other.”
One of the men in black suits looked downhearted, but responded, ”Well, if I have another life, I will still try my best to kill you!”
”We will still be enemies!”
”Hahahaha…”
The five men in black clothes laughed together.
Li Wuliang swiftly moved his saber, and then the five of them all got hit in the heart.
”Every one of them deserved a full body.” Li Wuliang made a sigh and said in a low voice, ”Such tough men! Why were they a part of that evil organization… What a shame…”
Ye Xiao quietly said, ”I think you will find a lot of the same kind in that secret organization.”
He looked away in the distance and thought about Master Bai.
[Only the House of Chaotic Storms has the power to make such firm control over these men.]
[Only Master Bai has the power to build a great organization like this! The problem is… something changed.]
In the end, the three of them together buried the five men's bodies.
”Let's go.”
…
They had changed a place to stay but still couldn't stop feeling depressed.
”You, my brother… How come you improved so fast?” Li Wuliang looked at Ye Xiao in confusion. ”The last time I met you was a few months ago, wasn't it? You were only in Dream Origin Stage, a weak little shrimp. Look at you now, back to the old days! You are even doing better now than before…”
[Little shrimp…]
Ye Xiao was pretty wordless about such a comment. Although deep in his heart, he knew Li Wuliang was telling the truth, it was uncomfortable to hear such words slipping out frankly!
”I have my own plan!” Ye Xiao humphed and said, ”Bingxue, how about a good chance to give a lesson to this guy who has a big mouth?”
Han Bingxue had felt himself being full of strength but had no way to use the power since he got boosted in cultivation. Besides, he was fully contented because he had just operated an excellent sword strike which amazed many people. Even though Li Wuliang had been significantly improved too when Han Bingxue saw Li Wuliang, he thought that the two of them could be equal rivals, so he had been thinking about having a fight against Li Wuliang for a long time. As Ye Xiao told him to start the fight, he only felt overjoyed to accept it.
”Holy hell, Xiao Xiao! Are you kidding me?” Li Wuliang looked at Ye Xiao and Han BIngxue like looking at two stupid fools, and said, ”I may be interested if you are going to fight me yourself. But… You actually let Han Bingxue do it? He? A second-rate low cultivator? And… Did you say he would give a lesson to me?”
”That's right! He will!” Ye Xiao said!
”That's right! He will!” Han Bingxue said the same words at the same time.
They actually spoke the same at the same time.
However, Ye Xiao was trying to provoke Li Wuliang, while Han Bingxue was simply gloating and pretending…
Han Bingxue wanted to have the fight so much, so he stared at Li Wuliang and pretentiously said, ”Li Li, come on, I wasn't your rival in the past. I know. It's true. But those days are gone. Now, to defeat somebody like you, it is as simple as catching my own c*ck in my crotch. I don't even need to make the slightest effort!”
