Gate of Immortality - Chapter 225: Meeting with Old Ghost Again
The Yue clan elders saw the fight till the end. Yue Wuji can be considered a genius at his age, but now, he is lying on the ground like a dead dog. There was a deep gush of a wound on his stomach caused by Yang Shi’s slash.
” Hmph! You were so ruthless to our young master. Were you trying to kill him?” The elder asked coldly. He was a Violet Palace Expansion Realm cultivator, so just with his will, a powerful force fell on Yang Shi.
” Esteemed elder, fist and legs do not have eyes. If I wanted to kill him, do you think he would be breathing now?” Yang Shi replied calmly as he looked at that Yue clan Elder.
Although a pressure of spiritual qi fell on his body, he didn’t flinch as he silently activated his Gold Devil Body.
The elder’s eyes shrunk slightly as he looked at Yang Shi’s nonchalant attitude. Although Yue Wuji was injured, it wasn’t life threatening. But defeating Yue Wuji in broad daylight, the Yue clan will become a target of mockery. Moreover, he himself does not know about Yang Shi.
But the elder’s eyes were very sharp as he noticed many peculiarities, ” Since when such a person of younger generation came to Azure Wind City?” He wondered.
First of all, Yang Shi’s Fire type battle technique defeated Yue Wuji’s Clear Wave Sacred Technique. Clear Wave Sacred Technique was a Mystic grade battle technique, which came from Yue Clan’s Clear Wave Sacred Scripture, a Heaven Grade water attribute cultivation technique. So with this calculation, Yang Shi’s technique is at least a Mystic grade technique or higher.
Moreover, looking at his spirit flame, he can tell that it is at least a grade three spirit flame. Spirit flame was mostly used by blacksmiths and alchemists. Even a grade two spirit flame is highly sought after, not to mention a grade three spirit flame.
Even Master grade alchemists and blacksmiths will fight for it. It will be weird if Yang Shi doesn’t belong to any big powerhouse. Nevertheless, he still had to take action.
” Attacking my clan’s disciple, your guts are really big. Hmph, come with me to the Yue clan to admit your wrongdoing.”
The Elder shouted as his divine sense attacked Yang Shi’s soul. It wasn’t any deadly attack, but the elder just wanted to teach him a lesson.
Yang Shi’s soul trembled as the elder’s divine sense landed on it. His soul was already much weaker than the average Violet Palace Expansion Realm cultivator due to the Soul Extinguishing Talisman. It was like a mountain like invisible force pressed on his soul.
His physical body is strong enough to resist the spiritual pressure of the elder, but his soul was his weak point. Yang Shi’s face turned red as he activated his Azure Lotus Primordial spirit.
An azure light enveloped his soul as the pressure from the divine sense of the Yue clan elder lessened greatly.
” Damn it, only if my soul was recovered to the peak, I wouldn’t have faced this much pressure.” Yang Shi cursed in his heart. The Elder frowned as he increased his power of divine sense.
” Elder He, it’s not appropriate for you to bully the younger generation.” A voice startled Elder He as he looked at the owner of the voice. It was none other than Mo Shan.
” So it is true that your cultivation has recovered, Mo Shan?” Elder He’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Mo Shan. ” Why are you helping this brat?”
” This youngster can be considered as a benefactor of my clan, that’ why.” Mo Shan laughed as he said.
” But no matter what, he heavily injured our clan’s young master. He must face the consequences!” Elder He snorted.
” Is Yue Wuji is incapable of doing that? Has your clan accepted the defeat of your younger generation?” Mo Shan laughed. ” What sort of nonsense is it?” Elder He said angrily, ” Don’t you think our Yue clan fears your Mo clan.”
” I am not thinking anything. I am just saying that elders should stay out from the younger generation’s feud.” Mo Shan said lightly. Elder He was furious, but he knew the position of Mo Shan in the Mo clan. He was the most likely candidate to become the next Mo clan’s head after Mo Qian.
” Elder He, Yue Wuji was just lightly injured. If you don’t take him now, his injury might really turn grave.” Yang Shi said seriously as he showed concern for Yue Wuji. Elder He’s face twitched as he glared at Yang Shi.
” Don’t get too cocky, brat. In Azure Wind City, no one dares to defy our Yue clan.” Elder He said as he looked deeply at Yang Shi. Then lifting Yue Wuji, he left hurriedly.
” I thank uncle Mo to help me.” Yang Shi cupped his fists toward Mo Shan. ” It was nothing. Even if I didn’t act, your identity as a Master blacksmith should have saved you.” Mo Shan laughed. Yang Shi merely laughed lightly as he didn’t answer.
” Young master, is everything is ok?” Bai Ruxue came as she looked at Yang Shi’s bloodied clothes. She was shocked as she was asked to stay with Mo clan members.
” It’s nothing, just some minor bruises.” Yang Shi laughed as he put his saber on his back. After battling with Yue Wuji, Yang Shi felt his understanding of the saber intent has increased somewhat. He realized that he need more practical experiences to digest the knowledge of the Samsara Emperor.
” Damn, Brother Yang, You are really awesome. You have beaten Yue Wuji, who was using his clan’s main cultivation art.” Mo Yi laughed loudly as he looked at Yang Shi with admiration. As Yang Shi was talking his face suddenly twitched as he looked at a corner of the street.
” Brother Mo, I suddenly remembered some business. I will return later. Ruxue, go with brother Mo as I will come late.” Yang Shi said as he hurriedly walked off.
As Yang Shi was talking, he suddenly heard a voice transmission of Old Ghost in his mind. Mental communication is very easy after reaching Violet Palace Expansion Realm, let alone the Old Ghost, who was an Origin Core stage cultivator.
” Heh, It would be weird if he didn’t call me. After all, thanks to him, I got the Heart of Forest.” Yang Shi smiled helplessly. It was indeed Old Ghost. Who bought the Heart of Forest with two hundred spirits stones and gave it to Yang Shi.
” I bet that girl is going to flay me.” Yang Shi chuckled as he realized that Shen Yanyu was also in that Royal room.
After a few turns, Yang Shi reached an isolated alley. After climbing a wall, Yang Shi entered a garden. There were trees on both sides, making it a shady place.
” Where are they?” Yang Shi stood under a tree as he waited for them. He didn’t lower his vigilance as his Celestial view was activated. Everything around him was crystal clear to his eyes. But sudden;y, his eyes flickered as he sensed danger.
Two daggers appeared in both of his hands as he bolted ahead from the tree.
*SWISH SWISH SWISH*
Three arrows stuck in the ground, where Yang Shi stood before. Yang Shi saw multiple sparkles around him as dozens of arrows rained on him from all directions.
Light flickered in Yang Shi’s eyes as he activated his Soaring Eagle Immortal Steps as his body became a blur of light.
*CLANG CLANG CLANG*
Yang Shi’ daggers whipped out like a serpent as it countered all incoming arrows. As he was having a difficult time, he saw a figure dart behind him as it knocked its bow.
Yang Shi suddenly felt a danger as he hurriedly backed away.
*BOOM! BOOM!*
The new arrows darted toward Yang Shi. But this time, it looked more like beams of light than real arrows.
Like a flower opening its petal, the rays of light fell on Yang Shi. The daggers rotated in his hands, and dozens of arcs of light flickered in front of him.
” Phantom Cut!”
