Chapter 529 - 527: Ultimate Sword Qi... Invincible in Qing Province, Yin Wuxiao’s Soul Token Shatters, Yuan Wang’s Choice
"Bring this king over to take a look!" In an instant, Yuan Wang’s expression kept shifting.
He hadn’t expected that the matter he’d been so torn over would actually come true now.
He feared the State Preceptor would suddenly fall, and that he wouldn’t be able to hold such a huge territory afterward, yet he also feared Yin Wuxiao wouldn’t die...
If Yin Wuxiao were to harbor any other thoughts then, the one who’d die would be him.
Very soon, with Yuan Wang in tow, they arrived at the Soul Hall. Yin Wuxiao and the others’ Soul Tokens were placed here, the weakest all at the Grandmaster Realm.
At this moment, the instant Yuan Wang entered, he saw that the State Preceptor’s Soul Token, placed in the central position, had already shattered into pieces!
As if in the next second, it would completely explode.
The pupil of that subordinate shrank sharply. When he left just now to report, it hadn’t been this terrifying!
He hadn’t expected that in such a short time, the changes would intensify again.
"How could this be?!"
Yuan Wang also found it somewhat unbelievable. How powerful a cultivator was Yin Wuxiao?
In all of Qing Province, aside from the hidden ultimate old monsters who never showed themselves, he was, on the surface, the number one person of the current era.
Yet the number one in Qing Province was now in an extremely precarious state, seemingly about to fall...
Just as Yuan Wang was inwardly shocked, two more cracks appeared on the Soul Token.
At this point, even though Yuan Wang wasn’t on the scene, he could almost imagine just how miserable a state his State Preceptor must be in.
He’d practically been beaten beyond recognition!
At this moment, when the result was truly about to be laid before him, Yuan Wang instead felt somewhat flustered.
"State Preceptor... Someone, hurry, head outside the city and aid the State Preceptor!"
Yuan Wang shouted loudly.
...
An open wilderness.
Yin Wuxiao was covered in blood, and besides that, wisps of black qi were constantly rising from his body. At this point, he was already unable to properly control his aura.
All along the way, Yin Wuxiao had fled in panic, in utter disgrace.
Aside from the injuries on his body, half of Yin Wuxiao’s face had turned charred black, as if it had been directly baptized by the lightning punishment descending from the heavens.
Yin Wuxiao desperately urged his Earth Realm Source Qi, flying at extreme speed through midair. He never would have thought that that youth...
Actually held two Four Directions Thunder Pearls in his hand!
Two Four Directions Thunder Pearls combined were absolutely not as simple as one plus one.
Back in Yin Wuxiao’s era, many people had already heard the name of this treasure.
There were four of these in total, and they were pieces of a single whole.
Once all four were gathered, one could summon the Nine Heavens Purple Firmament Divine Thunder that was far stronger than normal Celestial Thunder!
Rumor had it this thunder was true celestial lightning from the heavens above; only when one broke the void to ascend would one face such a terrifying tribulation.
And there would only be three bolts that descended.
One could well imagine that if one gathered all four Four Directions Thunder Pearls...
It would be equivalent to holding this thunder in one’s hand!
At first, although Yin Wuxiao was shocked, he believed he could still withstand a single Four Directions Thunder Pearl.
But unexpectedly, when those three bolts of lightning didn’t have much effect, that person actually reversed his hand... and pulled out a second Thunder Pearl!
Yin Wuxiao, who had already been barely resisting, was instantly injured beneath the Celestial Thunder.
On top of that, that youth suddenly expanded his own Domain, doing his utmost to seal off the space around Yin Wuxiao, leaving him nowhere to dodge and forcing him to take it head-on.
That created the sight before him now.
In the end, Yin Wuxiao forcibly broke through Lu Ye’s Domain seal and fled without caring for his life.
"That brat is actually this powerful, where on earth did he come from..."
Yin Wuxiao’s expression was gloomy. Even in that era ten thousand years ago, famed for its host of experts, there hadn’t been anyone at that age who was this utterly monstrous!
"Damn it... My foundation is damaged this time. It’ll take at least half a year for me to recover."
"When I break through to the Celestial Realm, Lu Yan, I’ll definitely kill you!"
"No need to break through to the Celestial Realm. Let’s do it now." Just then, a calm voice suddenly sounded once more beside Yin Wuxiao.
In the midst of his gloomy mood, Yin Wuxiao’s heart jolted. He twisted his head to look, and the youth he had shaken off so thoroughly that even his shadow couldn’t be seen—had actually caught up again!
That streak of white light wasn’t much slower than his own speed at all.
"You’ve been running for so long; you should be tired... Just rest here."
Behind him, Lu Ye said coldly, and at the same time, both his hands once again pointed toward Yin Wuxiao.
Just as Yin Wuxiao’s heart trembled, thinking that man was about to use that Finger Technique Divine Technique again...
An ultimate sharpness, as if it could pierce a hole in heaven and earth themselves, suddenly descended!!
In that instant, Yin Wuxiao’s Earth Realm Ninth Layer Source Qi shielding became nothing but decoration.
It was pierced through in a flash!
"Ultimate Sword Qi..."
Before falling, the last thought that flashed through Yin Wuxiao’s mind was this.
At the same time, a thousand li away in Yuqing City, inside Yuan Wang Mansion, under the extremely nervous gazes of everyone present, that Soul Token covered in cracks finally...
Shattered completely, with no room left for luck!
"State Preceptor?! How could this be!!!"
In the room, Yuan Wang’s tall figure shook.
Truly seeing it with his own eyes, the Soul Token of Yin Wuxiao—the one who had represented invincibility in Qing Province—shatter, the impact on Yuan Wang was simply too great.
"State Preceptor!"
Seeing this scene, the others didn’t even dare remain standing. They all fell to their knees, their voices full of grief.
Yuan Wang’s eyes grew slightly red. This wasn’t an act; they really reddened.
With powerful enemies encircling them outside, their greatest trump card was gone. After this... how were they supposed to respond?
"Investigate! Find out everything about this Lu Yan for this king!"
One of the subordinates immediately accepted the order and left.
A subordinate kneeling on the ground steeled his courage and asked, "My lord, after we trace that person’s whereabouts, are we to avenge the State Preceptor?"
"Avenge what? How many lives do you have for him to kill?"
At those words, Yuan Wang’s eyes widened at once as he barked, "Faced with such a senior, Yin Wuxiao must have offended him somehow. Otherwise, why would the man strike so heavily?"
"If we can find him... then of course, for the sake of our past ties, we should help Yin Wuxiao apologize and make amends."
The others: "..."
This was not the answer they were expecting.
He’d still been "State Preceptor" just now, and in the blink of an eye he’d become "Yin Wuxiao."
Truly, since ancient times, none are more heartless than those of imperial blood.
Those quick-witted enough had already begun to chime in: "His Highness speaks rightly. That senior looked kind and amiable, not like someone who’d proactively make enemies. The State Preceptor... Yin Wuxiao suddenly struck at him—that was an offense in itself."
"If you ask me, we ought to find that man and not only apologize on Yin Wuxiao’s behalf, but even pass Yin Wuxiao’s position on to that senior. That would be a win–win situation."
"Hahahaha..." Hearing this, Yuan Wang laughed, walked up to that man, helped him up from the ground, patted his shoulder, and praised him.
"Your words truly speak to this king’s heart. Yin Wuxiao said that Senior Lu Yan was a fiend, but I say, he, Yin Wuxiao, is the real fiend!"
"Someone, send out another notice. My Yuan Wang Mansion has already verified that Yin Wuxiao is indeed a demonic fiend. At the same time, we must especially thank Senior Lu Yan for rectifying the roots and cleansing the source!"
