Chapter 262 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze 36
These three are all among the world's top existences.
It is an entity that no individual, power, or even nation wants to provoke.
But now they have to face it at the same time.
Fortunately, Baili Luochen only brought five people with him to the capital this time, without the Pofeng Army, so the pressure on them was a little less, but only a little less.
Because blocking their way were Li Changsheng and Xiao Ruojin.
……
Extremely cold land, beyond the heavens.
"where are you going?"
A girl dressed in purple, looking anxious, stopped the boy who was all dressed up and ready to go.
Ye Dingzhi, clad in a red soft armor outfit, looked resolutely in the direction of Tianqi City: "I'm going to Tianqi City."
"Are you crazy?" The girl looked at Ye Dingzhi in disbelief. "You are now a wanted criminal in the entire Beili. As soon as you show your face in Beili, you will be hunted down immediately."
"This is none of your business," Ye Dingzhi said coldly, looking at Yue Qing in front of him with a hint of impatience in his eyes.
He was genuinely annoyed by this nonsensical woman in front of him. Ever since he arrived in Tianwaitian, this Yueqing had been constantly hovering around him, spouting nonsense, from Beili to Beique, from Emperor Tai'an to King Jingyu, and had repeatedly spoken ill of Wenjun, saying that he was out of his mind for daring to covet King Jingyu's concubine.
The first two could be considered as attempts to brainwash him and make him feel at ease cooperating with Tianwaitian, but Yueqing actually spoke ill of Wenjun, which he couldn't tolerate.
What is her identity?
On what grounds are you criticizing his relationship with Wenjun?
King Jingyu had already agreed to let them be together, but then Yueqing suddenly appeared and started nagging in front of him.
This is so annoying!
Sometimes he wondered if Yueqing had discovered that he had come to the Outer Heavens for another purpose, and was therefore deliberately trying to corrupt his Dao heart.
"I forbid you to go!" Yueqing's voice rang out again, carrying an undeniable determination. Her face was slightly flushed with anxiety, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes flashed with a complex light, showing both worry and confusion.
She stubbornly straightened her back, her hands unconsciously clenching into fists, blocking the threshold that Ye Dingzhi was about to step out of, as if she wanted to build an insurmountable wall with her frail body.
Ye Dingzhi: ...
This is so damn annoying!
"Who are you to me? What gives you the right to order me around?"
The current Yueqing is even more speechless to Ye Dingzhi than Xiao Ruojin was back then.
Back then, Xiao Ruojin used her powerful strength to suppress him until he was powerless to resist, and then verbally abused him mercilessly.
His martial arts skills were inferior to others, so he could only endure it.
But what gives Yueqing the right to say that?
Yueqing was speechless for a moment after being choked by Ye Dingzhi's words. Her face flushed even more with excitement. She took a deep breath and tried to calm the turmoil in her heart. When she spoke again, her voice was still trembling, but it was more firm: "I don't care, you can't go to Tianqi City. You promised us that you would save our sect leader from the brink of death."
Finally getting down to business, Ye Dingzhi's expression turned serious: "The deal I made with you, Tianwaitian, was this: you would help me rescue my wife and avenge the Ye family, and I would help you open the gates of Langyue Blessed Land and rescue your sect leader, Yuefengcheng. This was a mutual agreement."
“But I have been in Tianwaitian for some time now, but you have not allowed me to go to Langyue Blessed Land, nor have you sent anyone to rescue my wife. I can no longer waste my time here.”
Bei Que was single-mindedly focused on restoring his kingdom. Although he lived in a remote place, he was very well-informed about news from all over the world.
The news that the Marquis of Zhenxi had plotted a rebellion and that the Prince of Langya had been ordered to leave the capital to bring Baili Luochen back to the capital for trial naturally reached Tianwaitian as well.
Upon learning this, Ye Dingzhi was immediately extremely anxious. Although he had a premonition that with the Xiao brothers, Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruofeng, around, the Marquis of Zhenxi would be safe, he still couldn't help but worry.
In addition, the recent efforts to eliminate Tianwaitian have made no progress, as if he were stuck in a quagmire, with every step extremely difficult, which made him feel even more frustrated and powerless.
To eradicate Tianwaitian, force alone is not enough, and besides, he alone cannot defeat so many masters from Tianwaitian.
More than a decade has passed since the fall of Beique. Most of its remaining people have long since settled into a peaceful life. The reason they still cling to the hope of restoring their kingdom is that their emperor, Yuefengcheng, is still alive. In order to restore the kingdom, he has been in seclusion cultivating, hoping to rebuild the Beique Dynasty one day.
Eliminating Yuefeng City is tantamount to removing the backbone from the hearts of the remnants of Tianwaitian. Their ambition to restore their kingdom will crumble instantly, and once their morale is shattered, Tianwaitian will naturally collapse without a fight.
By then, we can eliminate those stubborn elements one by one, and the task of eradicating the Outer Heaven will be just around the corner.
Even though he has already broken through to the second level of his Void Thought Technique, the Outer Heaven still won't let him go to Langyue Blessed Land, and no one knows what he's planning.
"That's because your illusory thought technique isn't powerful enough to open the Langyue Blessed Land. Otherwise, why would Wuxiang Envoy prevent you from going?" Yueqing said bluntly.
Ye Dingzhi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Honestly, he really can't stand hearing anyone say that his martial arts skills are inferior. Xiao Ruojin's insults were so deeply ingrained in his memory that he's now reacting to this issue with a kind of stress.
He unconsciously reached out and touched the jade pendant hanging at his waist. It was something Lei Mengsha had personally delivered to him from Tianqi City a few days ago, and it was now his trump card for survival.
He came to Tianwaitian with only courage, but once he arrived, he realized that Tianwaitian was far more powerful than he had imagined. Now, he can only try Yuefeng City as a breakthrough point.
Let's look on the bright side. Yue Fengcheng has been in seclusion for ten years, and his fate is unknown. What if Yue Fengcheng has already died in Langyue Blessed Land? Wouldn't it be a great success if he could just spread the news of Yue Fengcheng's death?
Thinking of this, Ye Dingzhi's eyes lit up slightly, and he said in a cold voice, "I don't want to fight with a woman, but if you don't leave, I'm afraid I'll lose control and kill you."
Yueqing shook her head: "Ever since you came to Tianwaitian, you've always been cold to us. Why are you so hostile towards us? If there's anything you need, just tell us, and we'll help you."
Ye Dingzhi looked coldly at Yue Qing, his hand gripping the hilt of the Xuanfeng Sword: "I have urgent business to attend to. If you stop me, I will kill you."
"You want me to give in? I'll refuse. I will never let you leave Tianwaitian," Yueqing said through gritted teeth, gripping her longsword tightly.
Ye Dingzhi's eyes suddenly darkened. He drew his Xuanfeng Sword with the force of thunder, its sword energy crisscrossing the air. The sharp blade sliced through the air with a deafening roar, heading straight for Yue Qing.
Yueqing's eyes widened, unable to believe that Ye Dingzhi would actually attack her. Her martial arts skills were far inferior to Ye Dingzhi's, and facing this fierce sword strike, she couldn't help but take a step back, a fear she had never felt before welling up inside her.
At this critical moment, an immense and unparalleled internal force suddenly erupted, transforming into an invisible barrier that stood in front of Yue Qing, forcefully blocking Ye Dingzhi's Xuanfeng Sword.
The moment the sword tip collided with the barrier, it burst forth with dazzling light. Even the snowflakes falling around seemed to be stunned by this power, momentarily pausing in the air before slowly drifting down again.
Ye Dingzhi was startled and quickly sheathed his sword to defend himself, his gaze following the source of the internal force.
A middle-aged man with a refined appearance sat in a wooden wheelchair, his face calm and profound, as if he could see through everything in the world.
Behind him stood a young man, holding a huge oil-paper umbrella in the courtyard, the umbrella open to shield the middle-aged man from the wind and snow.
To the left of the middle-aged man stood a young man, who was looking at him with a complicated expression.
Ye Dingzhi raised an eyebrow slightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. He already had a guess about the identity of the person in front of him: "You are the Wuxiang Envoy of the Outer Heavens?"
Currently, Yuefeng City is in seclusion in Langyue Blessed Land, and the actual person in charge of Tianwaitian is Wuxiang Envoy.
Wu Xiang smiled slightly and nodded: "I have been waiting for Young Hero Ye for a long time, but unfortunately I was tied up with trivial matters a few days ago and was unable to meet Young Hero Ye immediately. I hope Young Hero Ye will not blame me."
Wu Xiang Shi had snow-white eyebrows, a handsome face, and a clean-shaven face. He spoke politely, giving people a gentle and refined feeling, more like a middle-aged scholar.
In fact, it wouldn't be wrong to call him a middle-aged scholar, after all, he was once a famous talent in Beique, but unfortunately, with the destruction of Beique, he could only hide in this extremely cold place.
Ye Dingzhi sheathed his sword, looked at Wuxiang Envoy, and said stiffly, "I want to leave this place."
Wu Xiang Shi gently shook his head and said earnestly, "I know that Young Hero Ye is eager for revenge, but you are also a martial artist. You should know the principle that haste makes waste. At present, your Void Thought Skill has only broken through to the second level, and you cannot open the door to Langyue Blessed Land."
Ye Dingzhi's eyes flashed: "My good friend is in danger now, I must go and help him, our cooperation ends here."
Upon hearing Ye Dingzhi's words, Wuxiang Shi's eyes flashed with a cold light, but his doubts dissipated considerably.
The reason he had been giving Ye Dingzhi the cold shoulder for so many days was because Ye Dingzhi's transaction with Tianwaitian had gone too smoothly, which made Wuxiang Shi suspicious of Ye Dingzhi's true purpose.
Wu Xiang Shi was once a master of Go in the Northern Palace, skilled in the art of Go, and his ability to observe minds was unmatched in the Heavenly Realm.
Judging from Ye Dingzhi's past behavior, although he is unruly and harbors resentment towards the Northern Li royal family, he has a chivalrous heart. Such a person would not stand idly by and watch the Northern Que forces grow stronger, unite with the Northern Barbarians to reignite the war, and bring disaster to the people.
But now, based solely on a few words from those two simple-minded good-for-nothings, Ye Dingzhi agreed to cooperate with Tianwaitian and even diligently practiced the Void Thought Technique. This seems utterly illogical.
Wu Xiang harbored doubts, so he hesitated to meet Ye Dingzhi and could only gaze at the sky in his courtyard, trying to glean insights into the future.
However, no matter how he deduced, he was never able to glimpse the complete future.
Left with no other choice, he could only try to provoke and test Ye Dingzhi by doing certain things, hoping to analyze Ye Dingzhi's true thoughts based on his reactions.
However, Ye Dingzhi came prepared, and being intelligent, he had anticipated that Tianwaitian would test him before he arrived, so he thought things through carefully before acting. Although he was anxious now, he did not reveal any major flaws in his actions.
Especially after learning that Zhenxi Marquis Baili Luochen had returned to the capital for trial, although he was worried about Baili Dongjun, he thought that Tianwaitian must have ill intentions for telling him about this matter.
So he decided to play along and deliberately threatened to leave Tianwaitian as a response to Tianwaitian's probing.
As expected, this move successfully attracted the attention of the Wuxiang Envoy.
Ye Dingzhi and Baili Dongjun are the only two people in the world with innate martial veins. Baili Dongjun has the Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion and Li Changsheng as his backers. Tianwaitian has long focused all its attention on Ye Dingzhi. Now that Ye Dingzhi has arrived in Tianwaitian, even if Wuxiang Shi has doubts, he would never watch the duck that was about to be eaten fly away.
“Young Master Ye is a rare talent among the young. However, although your martial arts are good, you cannot save the Zhenxi Marquis’s Mansion with your cultivation at the Xiaoyao Heaven Realm alone,” Wuxiang Envoy said slowly.
Ye Dingzhi stood tall and fearless, head held high, as if he had no choice but to leave: "Whether it works or not, we'll only know after we try."
Wu Xiang steered his wheelchair forward, making a "rolling" sound, and then his deep voice rang out: "I do have a way to make Young Hero Ye's Void Thought Skill immediately reach the fourth level, but you can only leave after you rescue our sect leader."
"What method?" Ye Dingzhi asked, puzzled, but his tone revealed a hint of anticipation.
The Void Thought Technique is a secret, closely guarded method of the Northern Que Yue Clan royal family, requiring extremely high aptitude from its practitioners. His ability to reach the second level in such a short time, thanks to his innate martial veins, is already considered incredibly fast. What methods could the Formless Envoy possibly use to help him quickly reach the fourth level?
Wu Xiang smiled and glanced at the young man on his left. The young man immediately understood and stepped forward, saying, "I can transfer all three levels of my Void Thought Technique to you to help you break through to the fourth level directly."
Upon hearing this, Yueqing was shocked: "Feili, have you gone mad?"
Fei Li remained expressionless, his eyes fixed on Ye Dingzhi: "If you're willing, I can transfer my power to you right now."
"You also know the Art of Illusion?" Ye Dingzhi was shocked. He turned to look at Wuxiang Envoy and asked with a frown, "Since some of you have already mastered the Art of Illusion, you can go and open the gate of Langyue Blessed Land directly. Why do you still need to cooperate with me?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiang still smiled and said, "Fei Li is not born with a martial vein. He has only barely broken through to the third level after cultivating the Void Thought Technique for more than ten years. And the third level of the Void Thought Technique is not enough to enter the Langyue Blessed Land."
A sudden unease welled up in Ye Dingzhi's heart, and he blurted out, "Do you really just want me to open the gates of Langyue Blessed Land?"
