King of Creation-Chapter 684 - 675: Yangh Yiguan’s Promise

At Mist Lake, near Qinglan Martial City, Elder Yangh Yiguan from the Beast Taming Sect was pacing back and forth restlessly. As he walked, he kept looking back at the sky, a clear sign of impatience on his face.

The martial artist who had sent the Talisman Communication had arranged to meet him at evening to discuss details, but he had already been waiting for over an hour, and the other party still had not shown up.

Normally, with Elder Yangh’s status and identity, it was always others waiting for him, not the other way around.

However, the situation was different today. The other party had mentioned in the Talisman Communication that they had found the scales he had previously listed as a reward on the Jade Talisman—his true Achilles’ heel.

For this, he had been searching for decades.

Not to mention waiting over one hour—if that person didn’t show up, Elder Yangh estimated he could wait until dawn the next day.

In a teahouse by Mist Lake, Ye Zhen was sitting at a window seat, sipping tea leisurely while occasionally glancing at the anxiously waiting Elder Yangh, his face calm.

In fact, Ye Zhen had been here for nearly two hours already; he just hadn’t revealed himself yet.

Ye Zhen had a reason for not appearing—he was waiting for news.

Ye Zhen glanced outside the window and thought that the news should arrive soon based on the time.

Swhoosh!

Suddenly, a streak of light flew from the horizon and in a blink, landed in Ye Zhen’s hand. With a thought, the content of the Talisman Communication became clear, and his expression immediately turned solemn.

"Indeed, caution is never wrong. Elder Yangh, who has been around Jianghu for so many years, is no good thing." Sneering, Ye Zhen casually squeezed out a responding Talisman Communication, slammed a Mid-grade Crystal on the teatable, and with a flash, leapt out the window.

Hearing the sound of the wind, the anxious Elder Yangh turned his head abruptly, only to see Ye Zhen.

"Eh, it’s you, Young Hero Ye? The Dao Talisman Communication was sent by you, right?" Recognizing Ye Zhen, Elder Yangh was somewhat sure because his reward offers were limited.

"Naturally!"

"That’s a relief; you had me worried to death. May I ask, Young Hero Ye, where did you find the scales I offered a reward for?" As soon as they met, Elder Yangh hurriedly asked.

Ye Zhen, however, didn’t immediately respond. He raised his eyebrows, implying something.

Elder Yangh also realized, "Young Hero Ye, rest assured, I absolutely will not go back on my word. Whatever you want me to do for you, or if you have any requests, just say them!"

"My request, Elder Yangh, you should be aware, is to help my demon servant, the Cloud Winged Tiger King, advance!" Ye Zhen directly stated his condition.

"Good, no problem, I agree!" After saying that, Elder Yangh eagerly looked at Ye Zhen, "Now, Young Hero Ye, can you tell me?"

Ye Zhen’s expression faltered, then he scoffed, "Elder Yangh, with mere verbal assurances, you do not think of me, Ye Zhen, as a three-year-old child, do you?"

Elder Yangh’s face suddenly darkened, "Young Hero Ye, I, Elder Yangh, have walked the True Spirit Domain for more than a hundred years. My word is my bond. What do you have to worry about?"

"Young Hero Ye, you should tell the news quickly. The promise I made will definitely be fulfilled!" Elder Yangh’s expression was one of urgency, and his aura became aggressive!

"How do you plan to help my Cloud Winged Tiger King advance?" Ye Zhen suddenly asked.

"The Five Elements Melt Blood Pill. Your Cloud Winged Tiger King’s advancement is quite unique, only the Five Elements Melt Blood Pill can enable it to advance!"

"Elder Yangh, didn’t you say before that the Five Elements Melt Blood Pill had been lost? Where will you find the Five Elements Melt Blood Pill?" Ye Zhen probed further.

"You don’t need to worry about that. I have my methods. Rest assured, I will not go back on my word!" Elder Yangh assured.

Hearing this, Ye Zhen slowly shook his head, "Elder Yangh, sorry, but without seeing the Five Elements Melt Blood Pill, I will not tell."

"Young Hero Ye!"

Elder Yangh suddenly shouted in a deep voice, "You know the importance of that message to me, so I want to know it now! The Five Elements Melt Blood Pill, I will definitely get it for you, but it just takes a little time."

"How long?" Ye Zhen pressed.

"At least half a year at the earliest. The specifics also depend on luck!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhen chuckled again, "So you mean, if luck is not on our side, it could be indefinitely postponed?"

Elder Yangh’s expression became stiff, "Young Hero Ye, what I promised, I will accomplish!"

"But I do not wish to wait years, or even decades! Elder Yangh, sorry, but once you have found the Five Elements Melt Blood Pill, come find me then!" With that, Ye Zhen turned and walked away!

With a flash, Elder Yangh suddenly blocked Ye Zhen’s path, "Young Hero Ye, you cannot leave!"

"Why not?"

"Today, you must reveal what you know! Otherwise..." Elder Yangh’s expression suddenly grew fierce, and his Spiritual Power began to surface.

"Or what? Are you relying on the disciples you’ve ambushed here? Or do you believe that you can capture me alive?" As Ye Zhen spoke, he transmitted another Talisman Communication.

Seeing a Talisman Communication fly out, Elder Yangh’s face changed greatly, and his Spirit Light surged, signaling his intention to act.

"No rush, let’s see what’s now said first!" Ye Zhen annoyingly pointed to the sky.

At that moment, a figure shot by and four shadows were thrown from the sky.

"Ma Yue?"

Elder Yangh’s face abruptly changed.

"Eleven people, besides the three at the bottom of the lake, the rest have all been captured alive!" Feng Qingyue’s voice and figure flashed by simultaneously.

"You...." Elder Yangh was instantly dumbfounded.

In fact, Ye Zhen was somewhat dumbfounded as well.

Let’s not talk about those other Beast Taming Sect disciples; most were merely at the First and Second Stage of Vein Forging Realm. Their eldest disciple Ma Yue, whose Cultivation had reached the Fourth Stage of Vein Forging Realm, had also been captured alive by Feng Qingyue!

Alive and captured!

"Elder Yangh, you show your true colors, and I can’t afford to be noble! If you want the information, bring me a Five Elements Melt Blood Pill in exchange!" With that, Ye Zhen turned and walked away.

Seeing this, Yangh Yiguan became anxious. There was no chance of him making a move.

The mysterious woman had revealed a hand earlier that thoroughly subdued him; with her there, he had no chance of detaining Ye Zhen.

But to risk his life for the Five Elements Melt Blood Pill just because of what Ye Zhen said seemed a bit unreasonable.

"I can exchange the Five Elements Melt Blood Pill, but you have to let me believe that you genuinely have the information, right? To retrieve that pill, even I will have to risk my life!" Yangh Yiguan called out loudly.

As he was flying low, Ye Zhen’s form suddenly paused midair, and after a moment’s thought, he uttered two words, "Xuan Hu!"

"Xuan Hu?"

Hearing these two words, Yangh Yiguan was instantly excited. "Xuan Hu is still alive? Is it really still alive? Where did you see it? Xuan Hu is actually related to this matter?"

Seeing Yangh Yiguan’s reaction, Ye Zhen knew he had bet correctly; Xuan Hu was indeed related to the Beast Taming Sect.

His rapid-fire questions did not earn a response from Ye Zhen, only a streak of Talisman Light.

"This is my Talisman Lead. If you find the Five Elements Melt Blood Pill, send me a Talisman Communication!"

In the blink of an eye, Ye Zhen’s figure disappeared from view, leaving only Yangh Yiguan behind muttering to himself in a daze.

"It’s related to Xuan Hu?"

"Xuan Hu is still alive? How is that possible?"

....

"Qingyue, thank you for today!" On the way back, Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue were flying side by side. freewebnøvel.coɱ

"What’s there to thank? It’s what I should do. You’ve helped me so much!" As she spoke, Fengh Qingyue couldn’t help but touch the Purple and Blue Double Rings on her right wrist.

"I plan to go to the Immortal Realm Spiritual Veins for seclusion tomorrow," Ye Zhen stated.

"How long do you plan to be in seclusion there?" Fengh Qingyue inquired.

"It’s hard to say. I might use up half a year’s time at once if there’s no news from that Elder Yangh." Ye Zhen paused before adding, "After I come back, I will take you out for a drink!"

"Half a year..."

"Why don’t we go together? My cultivation has been progressing slowly lately; it would be the perfect opportunity to break through!" Fengh Qingyue suggested.

"Together?" Ye Zhen was taken aback.

"What, you don’t want to?"

"Of course not, it’s a great idea!" Seeing Fengh Qingyue’s wide-eyed look, Ye Zhen quickly surrendered.

"Then it’s settled, I’ll come to pick you up tomorrow!"

...

Within a spacious courtyard of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect Main Temple, the Vice Sect Hierarch Yao Sen was sitting alone in a pavilion, drinking sullenly from a cup, looking very despondent, a stark contrast to his usual efficiency. Stubble had grown densely on his cheeks and chin.

Ever since Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong publicly rewarded Tian Guizhang, Ye Zhen, Nian Xinghe, and Zuo Xiong in the Temple a few days ago, Yao Sen’s condition had worsened by the day.

At first, he still dealt with affairs for a couple of days, but by today, he barely left the door.

Of course, there was no point in going out; everyone in the Divine Sect was now revolving around Tian Guizhang, and no one paid attention to him.

It was clear that Vice Sect Hierarch Tian Guizhang was now highly valued by the Sect Leader, and there was a rumor within the Sect suggesting that Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong, after handling Sect duties for two cycles of sixty years, intended to retire. If the Sect Leader were to step down, then it was very likely that Vice Sect Hierarch Tian Guizhang would take over.

This was a crushing blow for Yao Sen.

As for cultivation, without a massive amount of resources, there was no way he could advance any further.

Even though he was only at the Sixth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, he had only six paths of innate bloodlines, so his cultivation had reached its peak in the Vein Forging Realm. To progress further, he needed to break through to the Establishment Realm.

However, with his talent, breaking through to the Establishment Realm without the support of a massive amount of cultivation resources was impossible.

And if he couldn’t gain more control within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, he would never acquire a massive amount of cultivation resources.

Not to mention that his power was already slipping away.

More accurately, he had already lost the battle between himself and Tian Guizhang, and he had lost thoroughly!

He longed to change the current situation but lacked the capability to do so.

Amidst his frustration and helplessness, he found solace in drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

Suddenly, a figure in red descended from the sky, and with Yao Sen’s abilities, he naturally noticed this abrupt red silhouette.

But as he lifted his head and glanced briefly, Yao Sen continued drinking wine emotionlessly.

"Drink, drink, drink, that’s all you know! If drinking could take revenge, your death by alcohol might be justified, but those who drink themselves to death are always the useless, the trash!"

Amidst the angry shouts, a flash of red light flew out, shattering the wine jar and bowl before Yao Sen!

Without changing expression, Yao Sen reached into his storage ring, took out another wine jar, and a new bowl to continue drinking. But before he could pour, the wine jar and bowl were shattered again!

After the third time, Yao Sen erupted in anger.

"You bitch, what are you doing!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
