Chapter 55: Li Chunyang Translator:?EndlessFantasy Translation?Editor:?EndlessFantasy Translation “Unseal!” Upon feeling a force that could threaten his life, Li Yi decisively unsealed his sword. A primitive and vigorous aura immediately spread out of the blade as the glinting sword began to emit a shocking power, as if an ancient behemoth had awakened. Bam! The two weapons collided, and a tremendous force passed over from the mystic weapon, knocking Ji Meng back and causing his soft sword to shake violently. “A third-tier mystic weapon!” Ji Meng cried out in horror. He was holding a second-tier mystic weapon, but it actually sent forth a feeling of defeat after the first contact. This could only happen if the opponent’s mystic weapon was stronger than his. “Hmph! So what if your mystic weapon is one tier higher than mine? My cultivation base is three tiers higher than yours! Let’s see how you are going to escape from me!” He took a deep breath as he lifted his sword and rushed forward once again. Rings of light flashed on the tip of his sword like peach blossoms blooming as they fell toward Li Yi. At this moment, the other four Great Martial Masters also exercised their unique skills and rounded up Li Yi together. They were here carrying out Yunxiao’s mission and not to fight a one-on-one duel. So, they joined hands without feeling any shame. “Do you have any shame? How can you all attack me together!” Li Yi roared angrily as he made a sideways cut with the sword, sending out an icy cold sword light that froze the air around him. Meanwhile, a burst of cold air shattered layer by layer and swept out toward his opponents. Attacked by the cold air, the few Great Martial Masters’ movements became slow. Taking advantage of this brief moment, Li Yi seized the opportunity and jumped into the air to flee. “Not bad! You are extremely skilled in escaping! You must have practiced many times, haven’t you?” Yunxiao’s figure suddenly appeared in front of Li Yi while laughing as he raised his Black Girl and hacked it down. “Little bast*rd! Do you think you can stop me with your crappy cultivation base?” Li Yi roared as he summoned all his strength and slashed out his sword. But at that moment, he suddenly felt his whole body sink as a huge pulling force came from the ground, causing his body to stagnate and then fall to the ground. “Gravity zone? Ten times the force of gravity!” Li Yi was shocked. Originally, ten times the force of gravity had no effect on him at all. But, the sudden pull on him without him having any mental preparation still confused him. As a result, the five men behind him immediately caught up and surrounded him again. Ji Meng, on the other hand, was outraged; he had almost let Li Yi escaped. It would be a real shame for him to let this happen. He performed an incantation gesture with one hand, and the slender, soft sword in his other hand immediately began to twist and dart forward like a long snake, flashing with bright light while being surrounded in peach blossoms. Whoosh! All of a sudden, a beam of golden light pierced through the air and struck Ji Meng’s sword. He felt his hand sink and his strength immediately deviate from its course. “A Martial Lord of the Four Quadrants realm!” he cried out in horror. A gray figure appeared immediately after that and quickly threw out five palms, forcing Ji Meng and the other four Great Martial Masters back. Then, he grabbed Li Yi by the shoulder and shouted, “Let’s go!” Li Yi seemed not surprised at all by the appearance of this person. He shook the man’s arm away fiercely and growled, “Wait until I kill this little bast*rd first!” He leaped forward, and the temperature around him suddenly dropped under the power of his third-tier mystic weapon. Meanwhile, a cold sword beam slashed out straight toward Yunxiao’s head. All of a sudden, the cold breeze in the air seemed to have been burned by fire, instantly turning into water vapor. Yunxiao and Li Yi both felt the surrounding temperature rise rapidly, and the air seemed to be burning as well. “Not good!” Startled, Li Yi quickly drew back his sword and tried to escape. But when he looked up, he saw a huge axe falling from the sky, splitting the air in half. Wherever the axe passed, a burning sound was all that could be heard. “Fire Burns the City!” The gray-clad man’s expression changed dramatically as he quickly stretched out his hands. A spear suddenly appeared in his grip, and he sent out a burst of cold air with a swing of it that rose into the sky like a dragon, heading straight toward the huge axe. Bam! Under the violent impact, the forces of fire and water spread out in all directions. The gray-clad man’s mind was greatly shaken and his inner organs were injured. Frightened, he grabbed Li Yi and fled. The energies of fire and water collided in the air, producing a large cloud of mist that spread over the whole Li Residence. A slim figure flashed faintly in the mist. Carrying a huge axe, Luo Yunshang slowly appeared while looking over at the few men present. Those swept by her eyes felt a chill in their hearts and bowed their heads one after another. Her gaze finally stopped at Yunxiao and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes as she asked, “What is this all about? Why would a Martial Lord want to kill you?” Yunxiao said with a wry smile, “How could I know that a Martial Lord would suddenly appear…” He put on a frightened look and said, “Luckily, Teacher Luo showed up in time. Otherwise, I would have been beheaded by now.” Yunshang’s face was full of suspicion, because Yunxiao’s eyes did not have any fear or panic at all when she attacked just now. They were like two ancient wells, shockingly quiet and calm. She really did not know how Yunxiao had such great confidence. She glanced at Ji Meng and the other four Great Martial Masters as she narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, “Why are you here?” Ji Meng was the deputy commander of the First Unit while the other four were members of the Third Unit. The five of them looked at each other and did not know how to answer, so Yunxiao helped them by saying, “This is a long story. By the way, Teacher Luo, why are you here as well?” Yunshang seemed thoughtful as she stared at Yunxiao and said softly, “I heard that you played a song last night which made flowers bloom. I wish to hear it.” Yunxiao laughed, “The song is played at the right time, the right place, and with the right people. How can I play again without the environment of last night?” Yunshang frowned and was about to lose her temper, but her eyebrows quickly relaxed. “That’s a pity!” she said faintly. “If the circumstances are right next time, I will come to you and listen to you play the song.” “Teacher Luo, a Martial Lord assassin had appeared in the capital for no reason, and he is Li Yi’s associate,” Yunxiao said. “Moreover, Li Yi was trying to poison Commander Xiao last night. He must be harboring some ill intentions. I hope Teacher Luo can inform His Majesty and request him to issue a decree to search the whole city and kill his traitor!” Yunshang said, “There’s indeed a problem in this matter. I will inform His Majesty. I have one more question for you—can you cure Commander Xiao’s internal injury?” “As long as I’m not dead, I should be able to cure him.” “That’s good! I will send someone to protect you during your treatment of Commander Xiao.” Yunxiao’s face lit up. Yunshang’s appearance had forced Li Yi’s real identity and background to gradually reveal. Since he had a Martial Lord as his bodyguard, he could not be an ordinary man in any way. If this Martial Lord was not sent to him by Qin Zheng, then the king could no longer protect him! After Yunshang had left, Yunxiao told the five men to wait outside while he walked straight toward the compound of the residence. After several turns, he came to a deserted yard. The large lock on the door was rusty. He destroyed the lock with a slap, then pushed open the door and walked in. The yard was overgrown with weeds, and all kinds of small animals were frightened by his sudden visit. The place was obviously deserted for a long time. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮 He wandered around for a few rounds, then suddenly laughed and said, “Do you still want to hide in your hole, old man? Do you want me to overturn the ground here for you?” The courtyard was quiet, and there was no reply. With a cold snort, he went to a pillar in an old hut, took out his Black Girl, and thrust at it! Thud! A burst of force knocked the sword back. The skin on Yunxiao’s palm was torn, and the sword flew out of his hand before being inserted into the ground in the courtyard. Then, an old voice rang out, “How did you find me?” An old man in coarse linen clothes suddenly appeared behind Yunxiao, his face full of consternation. Yunxiao shook his arm and looked at the blood in his palm as he smiled and said, “Why, I have your blood flowing in my veins, and this is what we call telepathy. Why are you so fierce to me?” There was a trace of surprise in the old man’s eyes as he said happily, “All the meridians in your body have been unclogged? And you have become a four-stars warrior! Haha! Good, good! Great! You deserve to be my grandson! Compared with those bullsh*t geniuses, you are countless times better!” Yunxiao snorted coldly, “So, you still care about me? Why are you hiding here? Do you think you are playing hide-and-seek? If I hadn’t noticed your aura just now, I would have thought you had really been killed by 8527.” Li Chunyang said angrily, “What a joke! How can a mere servant hurt me?” His eyes suddenly showed a trace of shock. “What did you say? You noticed my aura just now?” Yunxiao said with a disdainful look, “Do you think you are very well hidden? When Li Yi attacked me just now, if it weren’t for my perception of your aura, what courage do you think I had as a four-stars warrior to stand there without moving or dodging?” Li Chunyang said with a blank face, “How…how is this possible?” Yunxiao waved and said, “Never mind that now! Tell me, what are your thoughts and plans for the Li Family?” Li Chunyang pondered for a long time and sighed. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes as he asked, “What do you think I’m going to do? And what is your plan?” Yunxiao knew that his grandfather was testing him. He smiled faintly and said, “Your purpose in hiding is naturally to stay away from troubles. Firstly, you want to see Qin Zheng’s attitude, and secondly, you want to observe the development of the situation. After all, Qin Zheng is old, and there will soon be a power shift in Tianshui. You are hiding yourself to better observe the situation and find a sustainable path for the family. Otherwise, how can a lowly servant like 8527 stir up so many troubles in front of you?” Li Chunyang’s eyes sparkled with surprise and his face was incredulous. “You know all this? This…how is this possible? How did you come to such a conclusion?” Yunxiao said with a smile in his eyes, “I wasn’t sure at first. I was worried that you were really killed by that lowly servant. But after I sensed your aura just now, I confirmed my guess.” He squinted and said, “After all, you have broken through the realm of Five Elements and become a Martial King!”
