738 -Brewing Storm_ 1

This man was Gu Yihan, Perfected Xuanchen's eldest disciple, and he possessed outstanding endowments and a steady nature. He also had prestige among the Admirable Sky Peak disciples.

"You're always talking about these. If you're so free, why don't you cultivate more?" Gu Yihan swept a cold glance at Ye Ningxi and Qian Ze.

Qian Ze shrugged. "I'm just speaking casually. Why did you take it seriously, Eldest Senior Brother? That new fellow seems strange though. I reckon he spent quite a sum for Master to accept him as a disciple..." "I heard that the Ye Chen fellow is very handsome. Little Qingqing, have you seen him?" Ye Ningxi looked at Yin Qingluo with a grin.

Yin Qingluo's headache worsened.

"Cultivation is dependent on oneself. Even if one was apprenticed, it is meaningless if he does not cultivate diligently," Gu Yihan said.

Ye Ningxi and Qian Ze exchanged a look

Ever since Perfected Xuanchen took on the position of the acting Valley Master, there were more and more things he had to manage. Gu Yihan had been by Perfected Xuanchen's side since young and was the most mature. In addition, he was rather gifted; thus, he would watch his junior brothers and sisters cultivate when Perfected Xuanchen was busy.

Both Ye Ningxi and Qian Ze were not short of Gu Yihan's nagging.

"Alright. I still have something on. I'll take my leave first." Qian Ze yawned and waved. Similarly, Ye Ningxi took the opportunity and found an excuse to escape.

Gu Yihan did not stay on any longer and left after taking the things that he needed.

After following Yan Shu around the entire Falling Sky Valley, Ye Qingtang finally returned to her own room.

The current Falling Sky Valley was the same as in her memory, just that it was only a few years earlier.

Ye Qingtang had stepped into Falling Sky Valley, but she was unaware that there was a storm in the monarch city because of the black market incident.

Covered in dirt, the Dragon-Tiger General recounted his encounters with a sullen expression in the premier's residence.

The Nine Nights Dynasty Premier, Qin Long, listened to the Dragon-Tiger General's complaints without any emotion.

"The black market has its rules. Your son did act rashly this time. I know about this already. You can return first." Qin Long waved a hand. The Dragon-Tiger General wanted to say something more but did not dare to offend the Premier. He could only wipe his tears as he departed from the Premier's residence.

Once the Dragon-Tiger General left, Qin Chen, who had been standing aside, silently told his father. "If what the Dragon-Tiger General said is true, that young man must have a pretty impressive background."

When the Dragon-Tiger General mentioned the incident in the black market, Qin Chen heard every word of it.

The person had the skills of a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord and was very young as described by the Dragon-Tiger General. His future was beyond measure, and becoming a true Yin Yang Perfected Lord in the future was not an issue.

"Half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord..." Qin Long narrowed his eyes slightly. "Such a powerful figure is indeed rare. Since he came to the monarch city, we must pay attention to him." "It would be best if we can make use of this person. If not... judging from his actions, I'm afraid he will be trouble," Qin Chen said.

Qin Long nodded. "The Dragon-Tiger General has already sent someone to draw that person's portrait. Have him send it over sometime soon and take a look at the person's appearance. If possible, employ someone to find out about that person's background, though you must not be exposed. Interact with him if there's a chance. It would be best if he is willing to work for us."

"Yes." Qin Chen nodded.

If a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord could be used for oneself, it would naturally be a doubling of might. However, if not, it was a huge latent threat.

"Ouyang Qian is back in the monarch city now. I heard that she was rather traumatized from the trip to the mystic realm. You can make use of this opportunity and pacify her." Qin Long looked at his son and continued on.

"The Ouyang family clan has a powerful force in the Nine Nights Dynasty, and Ouyang Qian is Ouyang Clan Master's beloved daughter. Even her other brothers are not as doted on as her. If you can marry Ouyang Qian, it will be extremely beneficial for us in the future."

"I understand. I've already interacted with her quite a number of times previously. Looking at her attitude, she does have some feelings for me. I believe that this can be accomplished in no time," Qin Chen said slowly, confident that he could take Ouyang Qian down.

In the entire Nine Nights Dynasty, Qin Chen's position and appearance were considered the cream of the crop, and there was barely anyone who could contest against him. Moreover, his family and Ouyang Qian's were well-matched in social status.

"That will be best." Qin Long nodded slightly.

"Investigate the background of that half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord and interact with Ouyang Qian. You must not slacken your efforts in these two matters. The Tiangang Sect Master has sent someone to confer with me recently, and I will not be able to leave to do anything else in this period of time."

Qin Chen nodded with smiles in his eyes.

Currently, his father, Qin Long, could be said to hold absolute power in Nine Nights Dynasty, and that young Emperor was fooled to be extremely obedient. If he could gain the support of Tiangang Sect, a super sect, there was no one in the entire Nine Nights Dynasty who could shake his father's position.

"Tiangang Sect already has the intention the work with Nine Nights Dynasty since some time ago, though the previous Emperor was unwilling to. However... it's not something he can control anymore." Qin Long's lips curled into a sneer.

Qin Chen did not say anything and seemed to be in thought as he looked at his father's expression.

Nine Nights Dynasty's previous Emperor was in the prime of his life when he suddenly came down with a severe illness, and he had to pass his position down to his son. As for the reason behind the previous Emperor's sickness, it was a question to the entire imperial court.

However, Qin Chen understood one point.

Ever since the previous Emperor abdicated, his father had increasing authority in the Nine Nights Dynasty, and the young Emperor was all the more trustful of his father.

Was his father involved in the previous Emperor's illness?

While Qin Chen was curious, he did not ask about it.

"Oh right. Fuling city seems to be quite ill-behaved these few months," Qin Long suddenly said.

"The City Lord of Fuling City is an official who served the royal family for a long time. Although he is far from the central authority, he still acts haughtily," Qin Chen said.

"Ha... didn't he just serve that person before? That person has already disappeared for over ten years now. Who else in the Nine Nights Dynasty remembers her? Since Fuling City is not behaving, let the Emperor decree that the City Lord of Fuling City makes a trip to the monarch city." As Qin Long spoke, he spread out an imperial decree on his table and wrote a few lines. Afterward, he took out the Emperor's jade seal which he carried on him and directly stamped on the imperial decree that he personally wrote.

"Have someone send it to Fuling City."

"Yes." Qin Chen received the imperial decree, and a scoff flashed across his eyes.

740 -Brewing Storm_ 3

There was an abundance of spirit energy in Falling Sky Valley, and Ye Qingtang's speed of cultivation advancement was way faster than when she was in Xuanling Sect.

However...

She was already a half-step Yin Yang Perfected Lord now, and it was still insufficient if she wanted to enter the true Yin Yang Perfected Lord state in a short time.

However, the time left for her was not a lot.

Xuanling Sect's defense would disappear in just a few months. By then, Yunxiao Sect would definitely not let Xuanling Sect off. Given Ye Qingtang's current skills, although she could look down upon the group of people from Yunxiao Sect, it was not enough to contend against the entire Yunxiao Sect just by herself.

Only by entering the Yin Yang Perfected Lord could she truly resolve Xuanling Sect's crisis.

Furthermore...

Ye Qingtang looked up at the familiar scenery in Falling Sky Valley.

In her previous life, her Master, Perfected Xuanchen, became the acting Valley Master, which attracted the dissatisfaction with various peaks. Although her Master maintained the harmony within the valley with all his might and tolerated many things in consideration of the overall situation, he was suppressed by the other Peak Masters not long later and was forced to give up the position of the acting Valley Master.

Because of that, Falling Sky Valley became segregated and ultimately was met with a calamity. It was also at that time when her Master was killed by Ye You.

After a rebirth, Ye Qingtang had long seen that the different Peak Masters had their own designs and that her Master was the only one who would maintain the harmony within the valley.

This was also the reason why the old Valley Master handed the acting Valley Master position to her Master from the start.

In this life, Ye Qingtang would never let such an incident happen again. She would not allow anyone to force her Master into giving up the Valley Master position.

Although she could suppress all the Falling Sky Valley disciples with her current skills, it was still insufficient against the Peak Masters.

Falling Sky Valley had twelve peaks, and most of the Peak Masters were in the Yin Yang Perfected Lord state. Furthermore, the three Peak Masters who forced her Master in giving up the Valley Master position were all Yin Lords of the Yin Yang Perfected Lord state.

If Ye Qingtang did not want the tragedy from her previous life to happen again, the only option was to enter the Yin Yang Perfected Lord state as quickly as possible.

With various urgent matters staring at her in the face, Ye Qingtang increasingly felt the need to raise her skills rapidly.

At that thought, Ye Qingtang immediately thought of the Dragon Vein which Master Du told her about.

If the Dragon Vein was really like what Master Du said, perhaps it would be a chance for her skills to increase as quickly as possible.

At that thought, Ye Qingtang no longer had any more hesitation. She immediately brought the little white tiger and silver wolf out of Falling Sky Valley and headed towards the Bliss Forging Workshop.

Just as Ye Qingtang was about to leave Falling Sky Valley, the few Blue Cloud Peak disciples whom she beat up that day were complaining tearfully to a tall youth.

"Eldest Senior Brother, Admirable Sky Peak went too far in bullying us. That Ye Chen fellow was just accepted as a disciple by Perfected Xuanchen and was already this arrogant to casually beat people up in the valley. Eldest Senior Brother, you must help

Us."

"It isn't anything for us to suffer from injustice, but that Ye Chen clearly did not have any regard for us Blue Cloud Peak disciples. Although we were beaten up, he attacked us publicly and did not spare any face for our Blue Cloud Peak."

Those Blue Cloud Peak disciples echoed after each other and completely left out the incident where they stole Sheng Qianyu's belonging first, wishing they could make Ye Qingtang's evil conduct public.

The male standing before them frowned slightly, and a trace of unhappiness could be seen on his good-looking face.
