Chapter 167 The Outlandish Butler

2022-07-04 20:20:37Li 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

13th year of Shenwu. Spring rain fell on both banks of Luo River and the capital saw peonies blossoming overnight. The evening was about to arrive. The sunset in the twilight combined with the sunset glow outlined Luoyang City in a myriad of colors. Boats cruised along the streams and rivers as singing filled the whole place. Lights began to illuminate both sides of the river amid the backdrop of a darkening sky. During this season, the capital wouldn't close their gates before 11:45 p.m. The people thronging the bustling night market wouldn't disperse until late at night. It was currently the hour just after dinner. Most people poured out of their homes and headed for the night market, brothels, restaurants, and lavishly-decorated ships on the riverside. The roadside was lined with lanterns and the riverside was lit by unextinguished fire lights. Vendors shouted as the street performers put on lion dances and beat their gongs. Wispy sounds of obscene noi

After leaving the General's Manor, Ye Que walked aimlessly on the streets of Luoyang City. It wasn't that he didn't want to teach Ye Yunhai a lesson earlier. However, he had returned to his youth. Though he didn't lose his memories, all of his magic powers, supernatural abilities, precious treasures, and weapons had disappeared without a trace. His body was now the body of his teenage self, so weak that he didn't have the strength to truss a chicken. Never mind Ye Yunhai's soldiers behind him, even the two sedan chair bearers could suppress him. Even though he had lost the divine power he had accumulated over a hundred years, Ye Que wasn't dejected. He could slowly cultivate all things as long as he maintained his state of mind. Moreover, he had risen from the lowest level when he was in Qingqiu Sword Sect using the most rudimentary cultivation techniques. His foundation wasn't solid back then. Were it not for his talent and constant fortuitous encounters, he might not

The sun rose and set with the turn of the Big Dipper.Ye Que cultivated without moving on top of the Peony Pavilion for twenty-four hours.Integrating with heaven and earth, he learned about heaven and earth as well as himself and the law of life. No one disturbed him.The golden sunset glow enveloped Luoyang and cast its radiance on Ye Que's face. When the sun disappeared into the mountains, Ye Que opened his eyes. The air around him froze in that split second before fiercely disintegrating. The rapidly spinning Spiritual Force, Imperial Qi, and Astral Force dissipated in the air. Ye Que's silhouette slowly became clear, only this time his skin was clearer and his eyes were brighter. Even the curves of his body seemed to be imbued with a natural explosive force.The mountains were still the same mountains, water was still the same water, and heaven and earth were still the same heaven and earth.However, everything had changed to Ye Que."Th

The door of the VIP room opened silently on its own. Ye Que slowly walked in with his hands clasped behind his back. He was the one who chided the little fox for not knowing the rules earlier. "Who are you? You're not welcome here. If you don't want to die, scram." The little fox retrieved her tail the moment when Ye Que came in, but she didn't let go of Qian Shuxiao. It hadn't been easy to find such a matching incense stove. Moreover, this man was the first human she absorbed Qi from. She mustn't let him go no matter what. "Didn't your elders tell you that you can absorb Yang Qi but not the Blood Essence of humans is the bottom line? You'll have to pay with your life for absorbing another's Blood Essence." Ye Que walked to a position about five meters away from the little fox demon and stood still as he looked at her with great interest. He wasn't in a hurry. With him here, it was impossible for the fox to take away the man's Blood Essence.

"Thud!" Qian Shuxiao hadn't recovered his senses from the comfort he was in when someone kicked the door open. "Come out here, Qian Shuxiao, you brat who pays more attention to your lover than your friends! You promised we'll enjoy good things together but once you cheated a beauty to sleep with you, you actually ran off to have fun with her all on your own! Don't you think you're shameless? Do you want to be kicked off the group of four young masters of Luoyang?" Qian Shuxiao, whose enjoyment was interrupted, was about to curse when he recognized the voice. He stood up at once, quivering. With an awkward expression, he was about to explain himself when Ye Que met the eyes of the three young masters who looked like they were here to question a criminal. "Boy, oh boy. The one surnamed Qian, are you looking down us brothers after meeting your new flame? You aren't bringing us to play now, are you? Sick of us, aren't you?" The l

Ye Que wasn't in a desperate need for magic treasures of the Cultivation World, but tonight, the little fox demon reminded him that the Demon World ought to have begun invading the Human World. People might not pay it much heed now, but the time left for him was certainly limited. Ye Que had a plan to improve his cultivation, but he couldn't get anywhere without things he needed. It required some luck to obtain certain spiritual herbs and ingredients. If there was an auction with things prepared for him, it wouldn't be a bad idea to pay a visit. Noticing Ye Que's excitement, Qian Shuxiao swiftly added, "Sir, rest reassured. Whatever that you like, you don't even have to lift a single finger. I'll definitely get it and present it to you with both hands. In Luoyang City, the Qian family has never been afraid of anyone when it comes to riches." "If I do find something I like, I'll owe you a favor," Ye Que said in low voice. "Please d

"Wait here while I go in and have a look." Ye Que's expression was a bit serious. "Unless I call for you, no one is to enter no matter what happens or what strange sight you see. Or else, you'll have to bear the consequences." "Sir, did you notice something? Will my Elder Sister be alright?" Qian Shuxiao hastily asked. That was his biological sister in the room. Something must be wrong, judging from how serious Ye Que's expression was. In fact, he himself thought there was something off with his sister during this period of time, but he couldn't find the reason. Now, she was likely to have encountered something dirty. "I'm not sure. I'll only know after checking on her." "I'll leave it to you and wait here then, Sir. Shout if you have any orders and I'll be right there." Ye Que placed his hands behind his back. He wasn't nervous. For the next hundred years, there was likely no one in Luoyang, even the whol

Court of Judicial Review, Gale and Thunder Hall. He Fei kneaded the space between his eyebrows as he poured through the documents relating to the Peony Pavilion murder case. He wasn't worried about the number of deaths. After all, he had even reviewed a major case involving the massacre of over a hundred villagers. What was worrying was the lack of evidence left behind, as if the victims had truly died of snake bites. "Is it possible?" He Fei had once asked himself. His answer was a resounding no. On the surface, these people might have died of snake bites but there was surely a perpetrator. Otherwise, why would those in the Peony Pavilion be the only ones who died? The inhabitants of the neighboring buildings were left intact. Moreover, they couldn't even find the shadow of a snake within a hundred meters. These snakes were like an army, in terms of their strict organization, clear-cut task delegation, and orderly movement. "Lord, how do y

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

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
