Unrivaled Medicine God, page 911
When Leng Qiuling saw Gu Tianque, she also heaved a long sigh in relief.
“Master, are … are you okay?”
Leng Qiuling saw Gu Tianque’s somewhat absent-minded appearance and could not help asking in concern.
Gu Tianque glanced at Leng Qiuling and said, “Master … almost couldn’t come back anymore!”
Leng Qiuling’s face changed and she said, “What happened?”
Gu Tianque smiled bitterly and recounted the scene that happened previously, saying: “This time, it was all thanks to you and Ye Yuan. If not for you guys, this old life of mine would probably be lost at Heavenly Sun Mountain Range. You help me thank Ye Yuan well; no, you call him here, I want to thank him personally!”
Leng Qiuling listened until she felt lingering fear too.
An Empyrean powerhouse was exterminated in an instant, this sort of thing was simply unheard of.
Just how powerful of an existence was this Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove when he was alive?
Although Gu Tianque did not adhere to the ten days deadline and ran off in-advance, if not for these two days of delay, Gu Tianque would definitely be dead without a doubt.
This Empyrean abode was clearly not what the Thousand Soar Imperial Capital could devour alone already.
When Ye Yuan came over, Gu Tianque thanked Ye Yuan ardently.
Reaching his level, he regarded his life as the most important thing.
Ye Yuan’s one sentence saved his life, how could he not be moved.
But, when Ye Yuan heard the demise of an Empyrean, he knew that this was likely a retaliatory act of Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove against his enemies.
Sure enough, in the following days, Thousand Soar Imperial Capital was amidst the winds of change, and suddenly became the vortex of a storm.
Within a short half a month, there were actually three Empyrean powerhouses who died in Heavenly Sun Mountain Range.
Empyrean powerhouses, each one was a formidable existence that could make the Heavenspan World tremble with a stomp of their feet. Three actually died all at once.
As for those True God powerhouses that no one paid attention to, no idea how many had died already.
At this time, everyone finally realized that this abode was not easy to enter!
Chapter 1857. Still So Shameless |
The demise of three Empyreans did not stop those powerhouses from advancing wave after wave.
However, the powerhouses who entered Heavenly Sun Mountain Range, not one was able to return alive.
A month later, finally no one dared to arbitrarily enter the Heavenly Sun Mountain Range anymore.
Powerhouses from everywhere started converging in Thousand Soar Imperial Capital, discussing how to enter this Empyrean abode.
A city lord said, “Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was a peak Empyrean powerhouse from five million years ago. His strength had already reached an inconceivable level and can even effortlessly annihilate Empyrean powerhouses.”
Another person said, “In my view, it’s likely difficult for us, these True God powerhouses, to enter inside.”
“This Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove has such formidable strength. There must be countless lucky chances inside this abode. Giving up just like this, who is willing? Moreover … if we can obtain Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove’s Dao Fruit …”
The moment these words came out, the atmosphere within the hall immediately tensed up.
Empyrean Dao Fruit, who did not want?
Furthermore, this was not an ordinary Empyrean Dao Fruit, but a peak Empyrean Dao Fruit!
Among these people, it was impossible for there to be someone who could reach this level in their lifetime.
Gu Tianque said, “Now, someone already discovered that martial artists below Celestial Deity Realm will be fine entering the Heavenly Sun Mountain Range. There have already been True God Realm martial artists who tried it before. As long as one suppresses their realm to Celestial Deity Realm, they won’t be attacked when going deep into the mountain range. But, inside this Heavenly Sun Mountain Range, it is still filled with dangers. I feel that we’d better cooperate with a united effort, and think of a way to enter the abode first. I wonder what’s everyone’s opinion?”
Hearing Gu Tianque’s words, everyone all nodded their heads in succession.
Don’t look at how they were all True God Realm powerhouses. In front of Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove, they were simply no one.
A thousand, ten thousand going in, it was also seeking doom.
Hence, banding up together first was indeed a pretty good option.
“Since everyone doesn’t have objections, then let’s set off together ten days later, and enter the Heavenly Sun Mountain Range.” Gu Tianque gave the final word.
After discussing, the group of True God powerhouses all dispersed. But Heavenly Water Imperial Capital’s city lord, Ji Xun, stayed behind alone.
“Mn? Brother Ji looking for me, could there be something?” Gu Tianque pretended to be uncertain as he said.,
Ji Xun secretly cursed sly old fox and said with a smile, “Huhu, old pal, my Heavenly Water Imperial Capital and your Thousand Soar Imperial Capital have always been of the same breath and branch. That good-for-nothing disciple of mine, Zhuo Han, has admired Lass Qiuling for a long time already. You think. Shouldn’t us, these elders, bring a romance to a happy ending?”
Gu Tianque chuckled when he heard that and said, “The matters of youngsters, leave it to them to worry about it. You also know this disciple of mine, who she wants to choose as a Dao companion, that’s not what I can persuade.”
Finished talking, Gu Tianque immediately left and did not seem to have the intention of continuing to chat.
Ji Xun’s brows furrowed, not understanding what medicine this Gu Tianque was selling in his gourd.
In the past, Gu Tianque was still rather keen about Zhuo Han and Leng Qiuling’s affairs, even though Leng Qiuling’s attitude had always been uninterested.
But now, even Gu Tianque this old fellow did not seem willing anymore.
…
As Ji Xun’s favorite disciple, Zhuo Han naturally came along to Thousand Soar Imperial Capital too.
In reality, the True God powerhouses that came this time, quite a few brought along their juniors
A massive lucky chance like an Empyrean inheritance, even if they all, these disciples, obtained a tiny bit, it was also endlessly beneficial.
Moreover, the Immortal Grove Abode this time, it was already confirmed that only Celestial Deity Realm and below powerhouses could enter.
But at this time, Zhuo Han already entered Thousand Soar Mansion himself.
“This junior apprentice brother, I wonder if Junior Apprentice Sister Leng Qiuling is in Thousand Soar Mansion?” Zhuo Han had a refined and courteous appearance, but his words exuded haughtiness.
That Thousand Soar Mansion disciple sized him up and said, “Who are you? The Thousand Soar Mansion doesn’t allow any random person to come in.”
Zhuo Han smiled and said, “I’m Heavenly Water Imperial Capital’s Zhuo Han. Junior Apprentice Sister Leng is precisely this Zhuo’s fiancée. In fact, I’m not considered an outsider.”
Zhuo Han deliberately increased his volume, like he was afraid that people did not know him.
That disciple was startled when he heard that and said, “Turns out that it’s Senior Apprentice Brother Zhuo, apologies, apologies! Senior Apprentice Sister Leng is currently at the practicing field, I’ll bring you over.”
Zhuo Han’s fame in imperial capitals was still very resounding, this disciple had clearly heard before.
Furthermore, the rumors about Zhuo Han and Leng Qiuling were not some secret in Thousand Soar Mansion. It seemed like City Lord His Excellency had the intention of matchmaking the two.
This disciple naturally did not dare to slight him.
“It turns out that he’s Zhuo Han. Indeed worthy of being Heavenly Water Imperial Capital’s number one genius, to actually be able to catch up to Senior Apprentice Sister Leng’s cultivation speed.”
“Yeah! Heard that the Manor Lord intends to matchmake the two, they are really a match made in heaven!”
“However, Senior Apprentice Sister Leng recently got rather close with a boy called Ye Yuan, this is really seldom-seen.”
“Hey, that punk is merely a Second Firmament Celestial Deity, how can he be worthy of Senior Apprentice Sister Leng?”
…
When Zhuo Han heard the surrounding disciples’ discussions, he originally enjoyed it greatly. But when he heard Ye Yuan this name, his expression suddenly changed.
This name was simply his nightmare.
Even if several hundred years had gone by, it was still fresh in his memory too.
Of course, he hated Ye Yuan to the bones too, and he had long wanted to find Ye Yuan to settle the scores. But, Ye Yuan had never been heard of after he left the Heavenspan Mountain. hence, this plan also reached a deadlock.
He did not expect that he heard this name once more today.
“Could it be that … this Ye Yuan is that punk on the Heavenspan Mountain? Impossible! That person just now said that he’s Second Firmament Celestial Deity! With that punk’s talent, it’s impossible to cultivate so quickly!”
Very soon, Zhuo Han dismissed this thought.
He and Leng Qiuling were the same, both feeling that this Ye Yuan was not that Ye Yuan.
Following that disciple, Zhuo Han came to the practicing field. Thousand Soar Mansion’s disciples were currently sparring, while Leng Qiuling was currently watching the fights by the side.
Upon seeing Leng Qiuling, Zhuo Han’s two eyes immediately lit up and he said in a clear voice, “Junior Apprentice Sister Leng, not seeing for many years, you’re indeed still so breathtakingly beautiful!”
Leng Qiuling turned her head. Seeing Zhuo Han, her brows immediately knitted together.
This guy really lingered on like a haunting ghost!
“This place is Thousand Soar Mansion. What are you here for?” Leng Qiuling said coldly.
But Zhuo Han did not mind and said smilingly, “Look at what Junior Apprentice Sister Leng is saying. I’m here to see my future wife, is there a problem?”
The moment these words came out, the surroundings immediately burst into an uproar, all guessing this young man’s identity.
But Leng Qiuling’s gaze turned cold and she said frostily, “Keep talking nonsense and be careful that I won’t be courteous toward you! Now, immediately disappear for me!”
Zhuo Han laughed and said, “Why does Junior Apprentice Sister Leng have to be like this? Master he already went to bring up the proposal of marriage for me. You and I will tie the nuptial knot sooner or later.”
Leng Qiuling’s expression became colder and colder, practically about to condense into ice.
“Huhu, so many years of not seeing, Young Master Zhuo is still so shameless! Haven’t even checked your Eight Characters yet and you’re putting up a front here, be careful that it will be hard to wind up the matter[1]!”
Right at this time, a figure appeared beside Leng Qiuling.
Zhuo Han focused his eyes and looked, and immediately flew into a rage!
[1] It’s common in Chinese culture to do fengshui fortune telling before marriage to check whether you and potential spouse’s Eight Characters match.
Chapter 1858. You Have No Chance |
“Ye Yuan! It’s really you! Today, you won’t be so lucky. I’ll see who can still save you!”
When Zhuo Han saw Ye Yuan, anger immediately rose up in his heart.
But he was also extremely shocked in his heart. Not seeing him for several hundred years, Ye Yuan actually reached peak Second Firmament Celestial Deity like flying.
This cultivation speed was not the slightest bit inferior when compared to him!
Was this guy still that trash who could even break through to the Divine Lord Realm?
One had to know, back then when he saw Ye Yuan, he was just a grand completion Origin Deity.
Ye Yuan looked at Zhuo Han and said smilingly, “Don’t need anyone to save me. Dealing with you, do I still need others?”
The moment Zhuo Han heard this, he could not help laughing loudly and said, “A measly Second Firmament Celestial Deity also dares to engage in wild talk! Today, I’m going to beat you until you kneel on the ground and beg for mercy!”
Upon recalling that someone said just now that Leng Qiuling and Ye Yuan were very close, Zhuo Han could not help overflowing with jealousy. Old grudge and new hatred welled up together in his heart.
Leng Qiuling’s face turned cold and she said, “Zhuo Han, this place is Thousand Soar Mansion, not Heavenly Water Imperial Capital. It’s not your turn to be unbridled!”
Zhuo Han could not help choking when he heard that. Leng Qiuling’s protective attitude triggered his jealousy even more.
Zhuo Han looked at Ye Yuan and said with a cold smile, “Hiding behind a woman’s back again? This place just happens to be the practicing field. If you’re a man, step forward and compete with me. Let Qiuling take a look at who’s her man!”
Leng Qiuling’s face got colder and colder. This Zhuo Han was really too insolent, to actually say such things.
She did not have any feelings toward him. Yet, his face was extremely thick, viewing her as his exclusive chunk of meat.
“Zhuo Han, on the account that you’re a guest, I’ve already exercised forbearance with you time and again! Keep talking nonsense and I won’t be courteous!” Leng Qiuling said.
Zhuo Han was still unmoved. Looking at Ye Yuan, he said with a cold smile, “Gutless coward, trash who only knows how to hide behind women!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Putting aside whether I’m a gutless coward or not, the thickness of your skin, I’m ashamed of my inferiority!”
Zhuo Han sneered and said, “Manor Lord Gu is very approving of my and Qiuling’s matters. Now that Master has gone to him to propose a marriage alliance, this wedding is already more than half succeeded, how is my skin thick?”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Is that so? Then do you know why I’m not a Thousand Soar Mansion’s disciple but can go in and out of this place any time? Then do you know Qiuling and I are practically together from morning to night these few years? You have no chance.”
Zhuo Han’s face could not help changing when he heard that. He still thought that Ye Yuan was a Thousand Soar Mansion’s disciple. Zhuo Han did not expect that he actually was not.
Leng Qiuling’s icy-cold face had a rare hint of blush.
Actually, she and Ye Yuan were both clear that Gu Tianque was indeed creating conditions to let the two of them get close.
Ye Yuan’s mysterious identity had long been recognized by Gu Tianque. Otherwise, he also would not stop for three days and not move because of a sentence from Ye Yuan.
But between them, one was cold as frost, while the other was not in the mood for romance. There had not been any progress all along.
Leng Qiuling naturally knew that Ye Yuan was helping her out of her predicament, so she did not say anything and just tacitly approved of it.
When Zhuo Han saw this scene, a hint of foreboding premonition arose in his heart.
But he did not believe it at all!
Gu Tianque had always viewed him favorably. It was impossible for him to change his tune.
Coupled with his illustrious identity, he and Leng Qiuling were well-matched in status.
“Who the hell do you think you are? A mere Second Firmament Celestial Deity is also worthy of Qiuling? If you have the capability, step forward like a man and compete with me.”
Zhuo Han saw that Ye Yuan was only a Second Firmament Celestial Deity. He was certain that he did not dare to accept the challenge at all, repeatedly using those words to squeeze Ye Yuan.
The surrounding Thousand Soar Mansion disciples also all revealed disdainful looks, feeling that Ye Yuan was too unmanly.
Ye Yuan and Leng Qiuling traveled as a couple all the time. All the disciples had long found it displeasing to their eyes.
Leng Qiuling was the goddess in their hearts, beautiful and also highly talented, but she was followed around every day by a Second Firmament Celestial Deity. They felt that it was very offensive to the eye.
In their hearts, only Zhuo Han, this kind of background, could match up to Leng Qiuling.
Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, “Qiuling, let’s go, let this mad dog bark here. I believe that very soon, he’ll know that he had no chance long ago.”
Leng Qiuling nodded her head, turned around, and was about to leave with Ye Yuan.
She frequently sparred with Ye Yuan these few years and naturally knew that it was not that Ye Yuan did not dare, he was just disdainful.
Zhuo Han was only an initial-stage Fifth Firmament Celestial Deity. He was not Ye Yuan’s match at all.
Speaking of which, Zhuo Han’s talent was actually not beneath Leng Qiuling’s. But precisely because Ye Yuan caused trouble on the Heavenspan Mountain, it made Zhuo Han delay his cultivation.
Seeing that Leng Qiuling was so obedient, Zhuo Han’s fire of jealousy was practically going to burst through the barriers.
He blocked the two people’s path with a flash. He looked at Ye Yuan angrily as he said, “Somebody who gave birth to, but nobody to raise. You’d best stay further away from Qiuling for me. Otherwise, I’ll make you regret being born in this world. You don’t take a piss and look at the reflection too, see who the hell you are! Snatching women with me, are you worthy?”
Ye Yuan’s gaze gradually became icy-cold. He originally did not want to stoop to Zhuo Han’s level. But this guy did not have any knowledge of his limits at all. His mouth was really asking for a beating!
Only to see his figure move, arriving at the center of the martial practicing field, and say in a cold voice, “Didn’t you want to make me accept your challenge like a man? Fine, I’ll fulfill your wish!”
Seeing this scene, Zhuo Han was not alarmed, but rejoiced instead, and said with a big laugh, “Hahaha, that’s more like a man! You rest assured. I’ll teach you how to behave yourself properly!”
