King of Creation-Chapter 749 - 739: Sending You on Your Way

"I’m telling you, Old Li, when will this ever end? It’s been more than half a month now, patrolling here day and night without sleep, searching for any trace of Ye Zhen. But we haven’t even found a single tree leaf, let alone a living person."

"This is exhausting. I bet the moment I get back, I’m going to sleep for three days straight!" In the clouds thousands of miles outside of Qinglan Martial City, two martial artists hung listlessly in the air, faces etched with fatigue.

The martial artist called Old Li sighed, "Isn’t that the truth? While it’s said that we martial artists can go without sleep, if it’s for too long, it can kill a person!"

"Exactly! I can’t take it anymore. Keep watch for me while I sneak in two hours of sleep, then wake me up to take your place!"

"Old Zhou, this...isn’t quite right, what if..."

"Do you want to literally die of exhaustion? Look, that pair ten miles away had already gone to sleep! It’s a pity we didn’t bring a Demon Beast mount, otherwise, we could’ve gotten a good sleep by now!"

"Alright then. Go ahead and sleep, Old Zhou..." saying this, Old Li yawned at great length.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a streak of white light zipped past Old Zhou with an incredibly swift gust, the terrifying force in the wind itself made Old Zhou spin in place.

This jolted the drowsiness right out of Old Zhou. "Damn it, what blind bastard..."

Before he could finish cursing, Old Li clamped a hand on his mouth, "Idiot, if you want to die, don’t drag me down with you!"

Old Zhou’s eyes suddenly widened, his expression one of confusion.

"Have you ever seen such speed? Even our Hall Master, with his Seventh Stage of Vein Forging Realm cultivation, doesn’t fly even half as fast. A speed like this, I fear, belongs only to a King... an Establishment Realm King..."

Upon hearing the phrase "an Establishment Realm King," Old Zhou’s eyes widened even further, quickly filling with terror.

"So fast, how did I not think of that?" Old Zhou muttered anxiously, watching the vanished streak of light, "Hey, Old Li, do you think it could be that Ye fellow we’re looking for...?"

"Stop dreaming. Ye’s cultivation is only at the First Stage of the Vein Forging Realm. Are you planning on sleeping or not?" Old Li urged.

"Sleep my ass. The shock just chased away all the sleep. You go ahead; I need to calm down before I try to sleep again..."

...

The streak of light that had just flashed by was none other than Ye Zhen.

Of course, Ye Zhen himself could not possibly have such speed. That speed came from the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.

The kitten, known for its speed, could exceed seven thousand miles in two hours at its Upper-grade Earth Level limit. With the enhancement of the War Soul Blood Flag, this limit speed could even double.

At that time, the kitten’s speed could rival that of an average Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Beast, and it could shake off martial artists in the Sixth and Seventh Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, though not for long durations.

Now, the kitten’s cultivation had surged from Upper-grade Earth Level to Low-Grade Spirit Tier, and its signature speed had increased by more than threefold.

Having broken through to the Spirit Tier, the kitten’s normal flight speed already exceeded fifteen thousand miles. Such speed was as effortless as breathing and eating.

With a bit more effort, the speed could reach eighteen or even twenty thousand miles per hour, and the kitten’s extreme speed could shoot up to over twenty-four thousand miles per hour.

This velocity, Ye Zhen’s limit without giving the kitten any boosts, indicated how monstrously fast the kitten was.

And when the kitten had just sped past, the gust it brought was strong enough to make a Soul Sea Realm martial artist spin several times in place, and it was only at a speed of twenty thousand miles per hour.

This was the confidence with which Ye Zhen blatantly ignored Zuo Xiong’s warning and infiltrated Qinglan Martial City without any preparations.

With such speed, no matter how many martial artists were searching for Ye Zhen, they couldn’t catch a glimpse of him, let alone approach. Moreover, such terrifying speed was in itself a great deterrent.

Thus, with the kitten reduced to a size of three to four meters, carrying Ye Zhen like a streak of white-tinged black lightning, they shot straight into Qinglan Martial City, causing countless exclamations and speculations along the way.

Some martial artists from certain powers even sent urgent Talisman Communications to their higher-ups, warning that an unidentified Establishment Realm King had entered the city.

Soon after, Ye Zhen appeared on the southern shore of Mist Lake within Qinglan Martial City. Surrounded by the vast Mist Lake, the area was occupied by several spacious and luxurious Spirit Academies.

Beneath Mist Lake lay a Mid-grade Spirit Vein, making the lake’s surroundings a rare location for renting out large Spirit Academies.

Wealthy merchants coming for business and long-term-resident martial elites typically rented spaces around Mist Lake, drawn by the grand, luxurious academies and the abundant Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Elder Gan Rusong, the Peak Master of Elder Peak from the Profound Moon Sect, and his entourage were residing in a Spirit Academy spanning over a kilometer on the south side of Mist Lake. Nian Xinghe’s intelligence had even included a map of the terrain.

It didn’t take long for Ye Zhen to set his sights on a large Spirit Academy marked as ’A3’. The martial artists from Profound Moon Sect were staying there!

"This time, I must give you a big surprise. You want to find me? Well, here I am!" Chuckling coldly, Ye Zhen strode toward Spirit Academy A3.

The Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, with mysterious black patterns all over its body, shrank to the size of an adult’s palm. It resembled an ordinary pet cat, appearing harmless as it crouched on Ye Zhen’s shoulder.

Bang!

The large gate of the No. 3 Spirit Academy, made from the extremely hard Black Gold Wood, exploded under Ye Zhen’s feet. It shattered into pieces, and Ye Zhen stepped into the No. 3 Spirit Academy with great strides.

Almost at the instant the gate was kicked to pieces, three furious shouts erupted from within the Spirit Academy!

"Who is it that dares to intrude upon our Profound Moon Sect’s guarded ground!"

"How audacious, seeking death!"

Within the roar, three figures burst out from the Spirit Academy at the same time. Their emergence was well-coordinated; they landed in three different directions, subtly forming an encirclement around Ye Zhen.

"Kid, who are you? Daring to barge into our Profound Moon Sect’s territory, do you know how the word ’death’ is written?" The Profound Moon Sect elder Yane Chang, seeing it was a young man, became relaxed and mocking.

At the same time, a young martial artist to the left of Ye Zhen was taken aback and cried out in shock, "Ye Zhen?"

The Profound Moon Sect elders Yane Chang and Wus Hanke both turned their attention to Guz Bufan from the Soul Chasing Arrow Valley, "What? Who did you say he is?"

"Two elders, he is the Ye Zhen that our Profound Moon Sect has been searching for, and he’s also the one who killed Senior Brother Lul and Elder Yub!"

Guz Bufan’s words stunned Yane Chang and Wus Hanke, making them look at Ye Zhen in disbelief. For the past month, they had been darting all over Qinglan Martial City, joining forces with major powers in frequent endeavors, all to find that Ye Zhen.

Even outside the city, they had laid a Heaven and Earth Net, so as soon as the sought-after Ye Zhen appeared, they would be capable of capturing and killing him instantly. Little did they expect, they hadn’t captured the man, but Ye Zhen had taken the initiative to come to their doorstep.

"I heard you were looking for me, so I came to see you in person, to save you all the bother!" As the three were struck with amazement, Ye Zhen burst into laughter.

"Hmph, you’ve got some nerve, still so arrogant when death is upon you?" Guz Bufan shouted angrily, pointing at Ye Zhen and demanding furiously, "Tell me, who did you conspire with to kill Elder Yub Daqian?"

Reminded by Guz Bufan’s words, Yane Chang and Wus Hanke, the two Profound Moon Sect elders, also remembered this point and shouted sternly at Ye Zhen, "Name your accomplices, and we might consider leaving you a whole corpse!"

At the moment of the fierce shouting, the three unleashed their powerful auras, all firmly targeting Ye Zhen, clearly ready to attack immediately if provoked.

Ye Zhen looked at the three and a sudden smile flashed across his lips. That smile turned into laughter, and the laughter grew louder and higher. In the end, it was filled with thick scorn.

This laughter not only bewildered Guz Bufan, Yane Chang, and Wus Hanke, leaving them completely at a loss, but it also unnerved them somewhat.

Who had ever seen someone willingly walk into a trap yet laugh so mirthfully?

"What’s so funny? What’s there to laugh at?" A somewhat unsettled Guz Bufan asked.

"Laugh? I’m laughing at how utterly foolish the three of you are! I come knocking loudly on your door, and you still delude yourselves into thinking you can squash me like a bug. Is your head filled with dog shit? To entertain such a thought, haha!"

As soon as Ye Zhen’s words came out, the three were immediately alarmed. Yane Chang, Wus Hanke, and Guz Bufan instantly pushed their Divine Soul Power to the limit, spreading it like a tide to their surroundings.

The three were using their Divine Soul Power to scan for any hidden masters in the vicinity.

In their view, for Ye Zhen to come so boldly, he surely had someone backing him up, perhaps even the mastermind who had conspired with Ye Zhen to take down Yub Daqian.

Before a moment had passed, disappointment appeared on the faces of Guz Bufan and Wus Hanke. Even though they had pushed their Divine Sense to its limit, they detected no sign of anyone hidden.

Both involuntarily looked towards Yane Chang, who had the highest Cultivation.

But at that moment, Yane Chang appropriately shook his head, indicating he also found nothing, which shocked the three once again.

Not detecting anything with Divine Sense didn’t mean there was no danger—often, it signified an even more terrifying possibility—that their Divine Sense couldn’t detect the master.

And given their Sixth and Seventh Stage of Vein Forging Realm Cultivation, normally only an Establishment King could avoid their Divine Sense search.

An Establishment King....

The thought alone made cold sweat stream down their foreheads.

"What, scared?" Ye Zhen chuckled, "If you’re scared, send a Talisman Communication to that old fogey Gan Rusong, tell him to hurry back!"

After exchanging glances, Yane Chang moved his wrist, and a Talisman Communication rushed up into the sky. The moment the Talisman Communication was sent, the three of them simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Elder Gan Rusong was notified, it didn’t matter if there was an Establishment King lying in ambush outside, they had nothing to fear.

Almost at the same time, Ye Zhen clapped his hands, "Alright, now that the Talisman Communication has been sent, it’s time to send you on your way!" (To be continued.
