Chapter 54: The Nine Hells Yellow Springs Great Array, Activated!
The Sunset Dynasty, immensely powerful,
With profound and abundant heritage.
Among the top warriors in the Four Realms Martial Ranking,
Several are devoted to the Sunset Dynasty.
Among them, the ruler of the Sunset Dynasty ranks fourth.
And now, Ming Gonggong standing alongside Yun Jing, ranks seventh.
Such strength places the Sunset Dynasty among the top forces in the Four Realms!
No one dares to offend them!
And Huang Tianming, as the eldest prince of the Sunset Dynasty,
The heir to the next ruler.
Regarded highly by numerous powers!
This is the person seen by many as having terrifying background and immense power.
Yet in the eyes of Hong Ying, he is as insignificant as an ant.
Yun Ming frowned and said in a low voice, "How dare you inquire about His Majesty's name so casually?"
At these words, Huang Tianming burst into laughter, waved his sleeves,
And loudly declared, "In the Northern Domain, besides my father, who else dares to claim to be His Majesty?"
Although arrogant,
This is the truth, after all, in the Northern Domain, the Sunset Dynasty is the absolute hegemon!
Yun Ming's face darkened, he shouted, "You're asking for death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he fiercely thrust his spear forward,
With the might of thunder, carrying the intent of the spear, towards Huang Tianming!
Huang Tianming's face changed slightly, unable to dodge at all!
However, before Huang Tianming, an old eunuch suddenly appeared in eunuch attire, his duster turning into thousands of threads, entwining the long spear!
It was none other than Ming Gonggong, ranked seventh in the Martial Ranking!
The moment the duster entangled the spear, Ming Gonggong's face changed slightly!
Although his cultivation hadn't reached the Qianyuan Realm, its power still made him feel a palpitation!
It must be noted, he was in the mid-Qianyuan Realm!
"Your Highness, we might need to retreat first."
Seeing Ming Gonggong's solemn face, Huang Tianming was surprised and somewhat unwillingly asked, "Is their strength really that strong?"
Ming Gonggong explained in a deep voice, "They have more high-level combatants than us, and Yun Jing is on their side. We can only delay one of them. If we don't, we can't ensure Your Highness's safety."
Hearing this, Huang Tianming pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, we'll follow your lead, Gonggong."
After speaking, Ming Gonggong led Huang Tianming and the others back onto the ship!
The remaining Shura Iron Cavalry also received orders and followed behind the ship!
Before leaving, Jiang Shan looked at Ye Qiubai with complex emotions and then left as well.
Watching the departing ship, Ye Qiubai couldn't help but sigh, "It seems I still have a long way to go to seek revenge with my own strength..."
Currently, Ye Qiubai's strength, when facing the Water Overflowing Realm without relying on the Azure Cloud Sword, still had a lot of gaps!
Hong Ying commented beside him, "With your talent, plus the teachings of our Master, surpassing them is not difficult."
Ye Qiubai smiled bitterly.
At this moment, Yun Jing approached and said, "You're quite impressive. Would you consider becoming my disciple?"
Ye Qiubai's talent in swordsmanship was truly outstanding,
Even Yun Jing couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.
Jian Chaomian and others were stunned.
Jian Chaomian was even more puzzled, "Master, didn't you say you'd only accept me as your closed-door disciple?"
Yun Jing turned back to look at Jian Chaomian, saying lightly, "I suddenly regret it."
Jian Chaomian: "..."
Huang Yuan Tian Cheng and others were even more surprised.
The other side was the strongest sword cultivator in the Northern Domain, and now he wanted to take disciples too.
Hong Ying joked beside him, "Brother, you're quite popular."
Ye Qiubai could only scratch his head helplessly, formerly an elder of the Sword Hall, now under Yun Jing.
"Senior Yun, I'm sorry, but I already have a Master."
Yun Jing glared, "Is your Master more suitable for you than I am?"
Ye Qiubai shook his head with a smile, "Since I've already taken a Master, I won't easily change my allegiance, as it would betray my dedication to the way of the sword."
Upon hearing this, Yun Jing nodded.
However, the next words nearly choked Yun Jing.
"But I'm afraid Senior Yun still can't compare to my Master..."
Looking into Ye Qiubai's clear eyes, Yun Jing nodded, "When the opportunity arises, I must meet your Master."
"I'll inform my Master."
At these words, Yun Jing nodded and turned to Jian Chaomian, saying, "Enough staring. Come with me to practice. Compare yourself with others and see if you can muster some spirit."
Jian Chaomian suddenly felt a bit aggrieved, "...But you didn't say that earlier!"
Huang Yuan, Tian Cheng, and Zhang He blushed deeply.
If Jian Chaomian wasn't deemed worthy, what did that say about them?
At this moment, Qin Tiannan approached, casting a slightly surprised glance at Hong Ying.
Your Majesty?
It seemed that Ye Qiubai, the Second Disciple of Changsheng, was quite extraordinary...
But Qin Tiannan wasn't about to inquire into a student's background. He turned and patted Ye Qiubai on the shoulder, saying, "Well done, it's thanks to you this time..."
"Everyone played their part."
Qin Tiannan nodded, "Alright, get ready. Let's return to the academy. You'll be satisfied with the rewards this time."
...
Meanwhile,
Southern Domain's Hidden Path Academy, Grass Hut.
At this moment, Lu Changsheng looked up.
Floating in mid-air were three men and one woman.
The bodies of these four figures didn't seem solid, giving off an ethereal feeling.
Lu Changsheng recognized one of the men, the giant face he had encountered in the Blood Purgatory Realm!
One of the men said, "Sir, where in the universe do you come from?"
"From which universe?"
Lu Changsheng was taken aback for a moment, then thought for a moment before solemnly saying, "You probably haven't heard of it."
The woman's expression changed slightly, "Hmm? Really from another universe? Then may I ask, what is the name of that universe?"
Lu Changsheng shrugged, "Even if I tell you, you probably won't recognize it."
The woman sneered, "Although we may not know every universe around here, we know most of them. Sir, don't underestimate our intelligence network."
Another man took over, "So, how is martial arts in that universe? Is it similar to yours?"
Lu Changsheng thought for a moment, then replied seriously, "Martial arts? In our universe, martial arts have become more of a fitness regimen."
"Like Tai Chi and such..."
"Nowadays, it's mostly the elderly doing a few rounds in the square..."
"We use things like guns, or missiles..."
Lu Changsheng became more excited as he spoke.
However, the three men and one woman became more and more confused as they listened, exchanging glances and questioning each other.
"Have you heard of this?"
"No..."
"Which universe has these things?"
One of the men frowned, "Sir, are you kidding us?"
Lu Changsheng looked innocent, "No, I'm not."
The woman coldly snorted, "Since that's the case, let's not talk nonsense. Let's attack together."
The other three also nodded.
Seeing their aura starting to rise, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
Hastily shouting, "Nine Nether Yellow Springs Array, activate!"
