Chapter 69: Yun Wanhai’s Arrangent
How did he kill the demon commanders?
ng Chuan’s heart tightened. His grandaunt had long ordered him to keep the glabella space a secret until he had figured out what it was after entering Archean Mountain.
“Marquis,” said ng Chuan respectfully. “When I rushed to Blazing Sun Dao Academy, the demons had already attacked Blazing Sun Castle. Qiyue was also heavily injured. I was eager to save her, so I didn’t think too much as I tried to stop the two demon commanders. I never expected my body to erupt with such extraordinary strength at that critical mont. The power of my saber arts also soared, and I managed to kill a demon commander with one slash. Following that, I killed the second demon commander.”
“An eagerness to save Liu Qiyue?” Marquis Southcloud ca to a realization. He nodded and smiled. “It looks like Liu Qiyue is very important to you. She managed to catalyze the eruption of your potential.”
In a life-and-death situation, his strength had skyrocketed.
For the sake of the most important person in his life, he was able to unleash greater power. This had precedents in history, but they were few in number. In fact, according to legend, there had been a Godfiend who had erupted with ten tis his strength in a desperate situation, thus killing his opponent. But very quickly, he died from his body breaking down!
Godfiends at extrely high realms were able to perfectly excavate their bodies’s potential without harming themselves at all. As for those who were able to unleash strength many-fold their usual at critical monts, they ended up dealing trendous damage to their bodies. The greater the released strength, the greater the damage. Dying from their bodies failing was possible.
Of course...
It would be very difficult for one to unleash strength multiple tis higher. One needed plenty of inducent. Many cultivators found it hard to increase their strength when facing death, no matter how crazily they attacked. For example, when ng Chuan was being pursued by Demon Monarch Poison Pool—no matter how strong his desire for survival was—his speed only increased by 20%.
For example, experts who unleashed strength several tis their normal might only be capable of doing so once a lifeti. If they were to face a dire situation again, they wouldn’t be able to replicate that explosion in strength.
It could only be obtained by chance!
“Qiyue and ng Dajiang grew up together.” ng Dajiang also explained with a laugh, “The first thing on this kid’s mind was to save Qiyue when he learned of the demon invasion.”
“I see.” Marquis Southcloud nodded. “Although you haven’t figured out Saber Intent, many demons saw you killing two demon commanders. That’s not sothing that can be hidden! If the demons know about it, they might arrange for the Skydemons to assassinate you.”
“Skydemons will carry out assassinations?” ng Chuan and ng Dajiang felt pressured.
In the cultivation system that demons had specially created for human traitors, Skydemons were equivalent to demon monarchs and Godfiends.
“You will definitely be participating in the entrance examination at Archean Mountain, right?” Marquis Southcloud said.
“I will participate this year.” ng Chuan nodded.
“Archean Mountain will be sending soone to fetch Liu Qiyue.” Marquis Southcloud said, “When the ti cos, you can also go with them. You can stay in Archean City temporarily. There’s no need to worry about danger when you’re there.”
“Archean City?” ng Chuan and his father exchanged glances.
The most prosperous and safest city in the Great Zhou Dynasty was not the capital but Archean City.
Archean City was located at the foot of Archean Mountain. Many of the Archean Mountain Godfiends had moved their loved ones to the city. There were even powerful Godfiends who lived within the city. They could scale Archean Mountain if there were any pressing matters.
That was why Archean City was the safest city in the Great Zhou Dynasty. In eight hundred years, it had also beco the most prosperous city.
“Alright, I’ll go to Archean City.” ng Chuan nodded.
“Can I go with him?” ng Dajiang asked.
“Sure.” Marquis Southcloud nodded. “But you can’t bring anyone else.”
It was common for family mbers to follow. Every year, geniuses participating in Archean Mountain entrance examination would bring along a family mber.
Of course, if they were accepted by Archean Mountain, their family mbers would usually return to their hotown.
After the ng duo left, Marquis Southcloud shook his head slightly. To think that it was just a temporary explosion in strength. I thought that our Wu State had produced a peerless genius who had comprehended Saber Intent at the age of eighteen. I thought too much. He was sowhat disappointed.
A genius with the phoenix bloodline was very important. A peerless genius who had comprehended Saber Intent at the age of eighteen was even more important, because such a peerless genius would definitely beco an extrely powerful Godfiend. Unfortunately, it was too rare.
...
Yun family, underground hall.
Yun Wanhai sat in the lotus position. His entire body was surrounded by swirling violet flas, and his complexion had turned ruddier. A Godfiend had tenacious vitality. He had been heavily injured and on the brink of death, but four hours of rest significantly aliorated his condition.
“Dad.” Leading his siblings, Yun Fucheng stood in front of Yun Wanhai respectfully.
“I summoned you because I have sothing to tell you,” said Yun Wanhai. “I was seriously injured during the demon invasion. If not for Fairy ng’s protection, I would already be dead.”
His children’s hearts tightened.
“I survived,” said Yun Wanhai. “Marquis Southcloud helped remove the demonic energy in my body, but the demonic energy has damaged my foundation. If I’m careful, I would still be able to live an abject life for two decades. However, I never had any intention of doing. So, I, Yun Wanhai... will continue to recuperate in Eastcalm Prefecture for ten years. In these ten years, I will groom the children of our clan well. I will also trade my credits for many treasures. Ten years later, I will head to the battlefield.”
His children began to panic.
“Dad, your injuries are so serious. Even if you don’t go to the battlefield, Archean Mountain will not bla you.”
“Dad, you have already done a great deed protecting Eastcalm Prefecture, right?” Yun Fu’an and Yun Fuyu hurriedly said.
Yun Wanhai frowned and glared at his children. He said coldly, “I, Yun Wanhai, insist on dying on the battlefield! Even if I were to die, I will drag a demon monarch down with !”
His children did not dare make a sound.
“I did earn so credit protecting Eastcalm Prefecture. As I’ve said, all the credit that I have accumulated over the past few decades will be exchanged for treasures for the family clan. I’ll leave them to you. I hope that in these ten years, our Yun family will be able to produce a talent.” Yun Wanhai sighed. “At this mont, I’m sowhat envious of Fairy ng. Alright, you are dismissed.”
“Yes.” His children could only obediently leave.
...
Yun Fu’an sat in the hall with a dark expression. The news he just learned was like a bolt from the blue. It left his mind in turmoil.
“Fu’an.” Yun Fucheng walked in.
“Brother.” Yun Fu’an imdiately rose to welco him.
“I just received news,” said Yun Fucheng. “Archean Mountain have sent people to Eastcalm Prefecture and will take Liu Qiyue, ng Chuan, and Yan Jin away today. Liu Qiyue will enter Archean Mountain directly. ng Chuan and Yan Jin will likely stay in Archean City and wait for this year’s Archean Mountain entrance examination.”
“They’re leaving today?” Yun Fu’an was astonished.
“Yes, that’s why Jadesun Palace didn’t keep this a secret. I believe the other Godfiend family clans have learned of this.”
Yun Fucheng nodded. “It’s fine if it’s Liu Qiyue and Yan Jin. They are foreigners. Even if they beco powerful Godfiends in the future, they wouldn’t co back to Eastcalm Prefecture. ng Chuan is different. It’s impossible for the ten thousand ng family mbers to migrate. With his talent—one that’s enough to kill demon commanders—he’ll probably be able to pass the assessnt and enter Archean Mountain. The ng family’s influence in Eastcalm Prefecture will be much greater than it is now.”
Yun Fu’an’s eyelids kept twitching.
“Back then, the engagent annulnt had strained the relationship between our families. However, relationships can be improved,” said Yun Fucheng. “This ti, Father and Fairy ng fought alongside each other. It’s also a form of friendship forged from being comrades-in-arms. Fairy ng even protected our father. We can visit them and thank them... We should thank Fairy ng for saving our father.”
“It’s a life-and-death battle. I’m sure Father helped Fairy ng, right?” Yun Fu’an whispered.
“It’s just a pretext! A pretext for paying a visit,” Yun Fucheng frowned and berated. “Besides, Father has said that Fairy ng had saved his life. As his sons, we have to pay them a visit and thank them. Also, we have to prepare a gift for them. First, as a gift of apology. Second, it’s well-wishes for ng Chuan’s entry into Archean Mountain. The relationship between the two families can’t be reconciled completely, but we mustn’t beco enemies. The gifts have been prepared. Prepare to co with to the ng family ancestral mansion.”
“I need to go as well?” Yun Fu’an asked.
“You were the one to annul the engagent. Of course you have to go,” Yun Fucheng said calmly.
“Okay.” Yun Fu’an could only nod obediently. Although he was unhappy, he knew when to bow.
...
The ng family ancestral mansion.
As they were leaving Eastcalm Prefecture today, ng Chuan and ng Dajiang had co to bid farewell to their clansn.
And at this ti, the other four Godfiend clans of Eastcalm Prefecture sent people to pay their respects. After paying their respects to ng family elders who had died in battle, they went to et ng Chuan and ng Dajiang.
