Chapter 143 Snares along the Way

2022-07-04 20:20:37From times of old, all murder cases were thorough, in the sense that entire sects were eliminated.
The nature of the devils was such that they would never let their offenses go unavenged.
Among the nineteen sects of Truth Cultivators, the Pavilion of Wind and Thunder and Broken King Gorge were the first targets of attack. The devils would not allow anyone in the sects to escape even if they did well at the start. This was the reason Guan Shuheng and Chen Chenchen were still the targets of the devil cultivators even though they were mere novices in their sects who did not hold any important positions.
Because of Ye Que, Ye Yunhai returned with his tail between his legs, and the dead bodies of Cao Xue and Xie Yi were not intact.
The devils treated this as a humiliating defeat.
It was intolerable!
Very soon, Formless Demon Seeds had arrived near Zen Mountain.
They discovered the dead bodie

The devils drew near to darkness. Since there was no terror, there was no fear. "What else is more terrifying than the devils in the dark?" thought Situ Yan. To Situ Yan, there was nothing more fearful in the dark than the devil. However, he was soon to find out that he was wrong. Indeed, there was something more terrifying, and that was the heaven and the earth which existed naturally. The heaven and the earth remained standing through day and night, transcending them. Situ Yan had intended to speed up and cover a greater distance by making use of the darkness since he had wasted so much time during the day when they fell into the five formations. By now, he was unable to determine where Ye Que and his party were and how far apart they were from the Demon Seeds. Although his subconscious mind led him to believe that they were not far, they were delayed by the formations after all. Moreover, whoever laid the formation also need

For nine days and nights, Ye Que went through all mystical words that he could comprehend and experience at his current level once more. At the same time, he made practical use of them as they traveled southward. The effects looked pretty good right now. At the very least, the devils had not caught up with his party. This proved that his magical formations were of use. They were a band of nearly 20 people that rode in a simple carriage and carried few belongings. They traveled south from Northern You until they reached the Divine Capital, Luoyang, eventually. The crude carriage that had been carrying Ye Que kept creaking and grinding as it went downhill. Beside it were dozens of young teenagers on horseback. Their skin, which was originally white, had turned suntanned by now. Even the female disciples like Yang Nuanyue were not spared; their skin was wheat-colored now. Only Ye Que, Red Bean, and Lei Tianyou, who had been recupe

Beneath Luoyang City. The vegetable sellers had stopped shouting, and the teenagers who were returning from their spring hike stopped fooling around. The armed escorts and merchant caravans stopped moving, and even the vapor in the air seemed to have condensed at this very moment. "His Majesty has passed away?" The simple words carried a deeper meaning. The implications for this current dynasty were nearly destructive in nature. Ye Que looked surprised, while Lei Tianyou looked more shocked. The other young disciples were still stunned. Red Bean, on the other hand, had not really reacted. "Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye," Chen Chenchen of Broken King Gorge shouted as he walked up to Ye Que. There was no reaction from Ye Que, as if he was already lost in his thoughts. After a long while, Ye Que eventually replied Chen Chenchen, "What's the matter?" "How old is his Majesty?" "He was over 50

The great hall at the first storey of the Divine Sect Seminary was hundreds of meters long. The citizens of Luoyang were mostly free in the afternoon. As such, the seminary was already full of people. Everyone sat cross-legged and quietly on mats. The great hall had been specially built. Much earlier on, Ye Que had set up a noise-canceling barrier here. As such, commotions from the streets would not affect the meditation of those in the hall. Mind Focusing Joss Sticks were lit at each corner of the hall, which was somewhat beneficial to the students' cultivation. A youth dressed in a long white robe stood in front of the hall and chanted. He was saying the words of breathing technique, but if one observed carefully, one would realize that it was slightly different from that of current sects in the Cultivation World. It did not teach the students to go against Heaven to achieve Dao. Instead, it taught them to go with Nature's flow and to sens

It grew darker gradually. The evening sky looked as though it was burning. The evening sun turned the entire city scarlet. A square pear wood table was placed near the window of the third floor of the Divine Sect Seminary. There were eight dishes with one bowl of soup placed on it, along with a jar of high-quality apricot flower wine and a colorful wine pot that looked as though it was made of sheet metal. Four people sat on each corner of the table. Ye Que was sitting opposite Qian Shuxiao, and Red Bean faced Qian Shuhua. Ye Que looked a little awkward at this moment. Qian Shuhua was fuming mad; there was no way for her not to be angry. Not long ago, she had gone all out to attack Red Bean, thinking that she could teach this ignorant young woman a lesson. She did not expect to meet her match. Before she even knew what happened, she had already been punched in the face. Just one punch created a huge

It took 15 minutes for Qian Shuhua to return with two bowls in hand. The bowls looked ordinary, but they were as wide as three fists. Ordinarily, they would be used to hold noodles, and even brash martial artists and mountain bandits rarely used them for drinking liquor. Even though stories frequently described drinking by the bowls and eating in big mouthfuls, one would still have to choose the right size of drinking bowl or cup to avoid death by intoxication. Qian Shuxiao's expression immediately changed as he saw the bowls Qian Shuhua was bringing over. "Sister, how could you use that for drinking? Let's stop this foolishness, alright? Normal cups are good enough." Qian Shuhua placed the bowls on the table without even bothering about her brother. Her eyebrows arched as she said, "What do you think about using these bowls for drinking? If you think they're too big, I can change them. It wouldn't be a problem; not everyone can use them for

This very night, Qian Shuhua held Red Bean back and drank throughout the night. Ye Que could no longer remember how much they actually drank, but he knew that they had made many trips bringing down empty jars of apricot flower wine and replacing them with full ones. Eventually, when both ladies were sufficiently high, they began talking about everything and anything. Qian Shuhua told Red Bean about many disgraceful things that happened to her when she was young, and Red Bean told about a certain nation at the South Sea, where many pink flowers would blossom on the sea bed in spring. Qian Shuxiao sat on the rooftop and told Ye Que truthfully about the incidents and changes experienced by the Divine Sect Seminary during his absence. He also gave Ye Que a small grey booklet in which he had recorded a few secret plans he had made for the sect. He had purchased hundreds of properties under the name of the Divine Sect in the capital, nine cities a

"Court of Judicial Review is here for official work, and all people uninvolved stand to one side." The low and serious tone gave the speaker an air of authority. Dozens of his men stood at the doors with sabers hanging by their waists. From their official dress, however, they were evidently from two different departments. Most of them were obviously bailiffs from the Luoyang Court of Judicial Review, while the rest strangely seemed to be important personnel from the military department. Since the past, civilians never fought with officials. Even though they might have their own ideas, and might not be willing to give way, not many of them had the guts to protest to the bailiffs. A passageway wide enough for two people to pass through quickly emerged from the path from the entrance of the seminary up to the platform. Everyone's gaze was fixed outside the doors. As the Right Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, He Fei actually did no

Li Jianqi was a Formless Realm expert who had absorbed the Battle Soul of the Great Founder. Even though she was not well versed in formations, she did not have to be so careful. However, both Uncle Jiao and her walked extremely carefully. The higher the realm, the more a practitioner was able to understand how tough the path to cultivation was, and the more he or she was able to understand that there was always someone more powerful than them out there. Moreover, the formations gave off an obvious prehistoric aura and were evidently not from any technique of the current Cultivation World. As such, neither of them dared to take the formations lightly. They were not in the royal palace. Who knew what sort of offensive capabilities Ye Que had incorporated into these formations? What if they attacked them without differentiating between friend and foe? They were not really worried about dying in the manor, but mostly they were afr

Even Ye Que himself was not entirely sure of the phenomenon, much less Li Jianqi. However, a lack of understanding would not obstruct him from learning. The Divine Book seemed to have grown increasingly amazing. Till now, there were already more than 20000 Divine Sect Seminary disciples, and its name was already known among all of the people at the bottom of society in Luoyang. It did not collect fees nor commission and imparted cultivation methods for free. It took it upon itself to explain one's doubts in cultivation away, and it was not a front. The methods Ye Que taught his disciples really allowed them to sense Nature's Spiritual Qi. It was only natural that something as wonderful as this was passed on by mouth, and more people began joining. No one was able to withstand the temptation of progressing in the world of cultivation once he or she entered it. Naturally, they would join the wild goose chase. As its

Winning the competition held among the troops stationed in Luoyang with a set of saber skills? One had to know that the Southern Encampment did not consist of troops stationed at the border. Even though they underwent much training, their prowess in battle was still somewhat behind the border troops. During the previous competitions of such small groups of a thousand soldiers each, the four encampments were not favorites to win. Ye Que had just allowed 1000 soldiers from the Southern Encampment to win the competition after teaching them a set of saber techniques consisting of only about a dozen moves over three days! It was no wonder that Zhang Yue would find it necessary to report the matter to Li Jianqi. "Is the saber technique related to the Southern Encampment winning the competition?" Li Jianqi asked somewhat suspiciously. There were battle techniques in the army as well. Each encampment had its own recognize

Ye Que remained in the Southern Encampment for three days. Ye Que began to hypothesize on the third day the reason that caused the strange phenomenon within his Spiritual Sea. With the aid of the soldiers, Ye Que was finally able to come to a conclusion. The Divine Sect Seminary disciples and the soldiers had practiced the Mountain-Splitting, Water-ceasing and Heaven-Splitting techniques, and there was no reaction from his Spiritual Sea if there were 100 or less than them. If there were more than 100 of them, however, his Spiritual Sea would begin to froth, but only when seminary disciples who had learned the Divine Sect's cultivation technique were present. It did not react when soldiers from the Southern Encampment practiced the Mountain-Splitting stroke. Also, if the energy and spirits of the disciples were not in sync, and they were training at their own pace, there would not be any reaction from his Spiritual Sea. Four cri

"Lend me a thousand soldiers. I have to test a hypothesis." The figure in red light armor standing in front of the military monument had just stopped releasing more sword energy when Ye Que walked up to her. When she turned to face him, Li Jianqi's aura had reverted back to the youthful and beautiful young woman, completely devoid of the bloodthirsty battle intent she displayed earlier on. As Ye Que thought about it, he believed that it should be the effects of absorbing her ancestor's Battle Soul in the Imperial Mausoleum. "Ye Que?" Li Jianqi exclaimed, somewhat shocked. "You want to borrow a thousand soldiers? For a deduction?" "Stop asking me so many questions. I can't explain all of them right away. Just tell me if you would lend them to me?" Ye Que asked somewhat impatiently. Anyone would also be in a hurry to prove his or her theory correct after experiencing so many amazing things and a way of amplifying the power of one's own cultiva
Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 162 Who's Carving?
Three saber strokes were made before the gates of the seminary. Ye Que's Spiritual Sea exploded thrice. Ye Que nearly stumbled off the Bridge of Long Life and looked incredulously at the disciples not far away from him. They had still not noticed him and were still practicing their saber techniques. This was because they had also discovered something amazing. It was common for practitioners to be unable to grasp the essence of their training while practicing saber techniques on their own. Their physical selves, sabers, Spiritual Forces, Spiritual Seas and pathways of their sabers were always in disharmony. Training with thousands of other people, however, would speed things up, causing man and saber to reach a state of harmony very quickly, as if the larger the number of practitioners, the greater the benefits. Some of the practitioners had not realized this fact during the first round of training, but by the third round, even
Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 161 Joint Learning of Saber Techniques
Xichuan Town was a small ordinary town at the western border of Tang State, but it was renowned far and wide. This was because it was situated at a position that was nearly as far away from each of the six neighboring nations at the western border. During a normal day, cargo and trade flowed in and out of the town, as did merchants and travelers. A teahouse was located at the entrance to the town, and two elders sat at a table near the windows. Both of them had white hair, and a chess set was placed right in front of them. The black and white chess pieces were engaged in a titanic battle, and the moves they made were so complicated that it was hard to tell who would emerge as the victor. The elder on the left of the table pinched up a white chess piece with his fingers. "The Tang State has sent out 30 thousand light cavalries to Western Xia. Looks like they are expecting a quick victory." The other elder at the opposite end of the table laug

Gradually, the sky took on a marble-white color as dawn arrived. Frost and dew gathered on the walls of the palace. Li Chunzhi's brows were decorated with a layer of frost. The Chief Councillor of the Grand Council of Tang State trailed behind him, with the imperial bodyguards staying put a short distance away. Countless cultivators from the Judicature lay in ambush at all corners. Tang State continued to be compromised from all sides. If anything happened to Li Chunzhi, it would be the cherry on top of their misfortune. No one went up to stop him. Neither did they dare to. They could all tell that this soon-to-be Emperor was stewed in worries underneath his expressionless face. At dawn, Li Jianqi draped a white robe over her shoulders and climbed up the tower atop the walls. She stood behind Li Chunzhi and contemplated for some time before saying gently, "Father, you should mind your health. You've stood here for an entire nig
Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 159 Turbulent Night
Inside the quiet General's Manor, a black-clothed man was shouting himself hoarse. Ye Que didn't think he would be ambushed on his first official return to the manor or that the assassins would be survivors of the Ye Army. These people must have mistaken him for being a Devil Seed after he used his Sword Qi to bind them. Perhaps the battle in You Prefecture left too deep a trauma in them that they would mistake anyone with supernatural powers as a cultivator, a devil, and the culprit behind their brothers' massacre. "Did all of you run from the city of You Prefecture?" Ye Que had released the bind his Sword Qi placed on them. The group of men remained deeply wary of him even after they were freed. However, they refused to let Ye Que distort the truth out of principle. "I'll repeat this again. We didn't flee from the battle. We broke out of the siege under Chief Wu's orders. We didn't run." The person repeated hims
