What made him even more unbelievable was that the aura and soul mark of Brother Qingyu, who had led them to fight in the Phoenix Blood Realm, had completely disappeared.
"Did Brother Qingyu fail? That person was able to kill Brother Qingyu?"
The waves in Chi Jing's heart could not be calmed for a long time. He was not sad because of Qing Yu's death. He called him big brother just because of the habit of saving his life for many years. He was shocked that a prey in their eyes could turn around and kill the hunter.
He knew that although Qingyu looked down on them, his strength was unquestionable. He expected that even if Qingyu's plan failed, he would at least be able to escape, but the reality was that Qingyu was scared to death.
"What is the strength of this person... Did Qingyu fall into some trap? Forget it, wait until the restrictions in my body are lifted, and whoever wants to do the task of hunting this person down can do it." Chi Jing muttered, thinking of the mysterious power in the body of the young man carrying a heavy ruler behind him, he felt that it would be just a matter of time before he could get rid of the shackles.
…
Black Horn Region, the base of the newly formed Blood Phoenix Mercenary Group.
"Is this the signal from Qingyu? He seems to be a little bit dead, what do you think, Yinghao?"
In an inconspicuous corner, the man spoke, breaking the silent atmosphere.
"Who knows if this is his trick? He has always been very cunning, like a madman." The woman in red was a little disdainful, and her face was indignant when she mentioned Qingyu.
"Qingyu must have had a problem. It seems that the prey is not a simple character either." Ying Hao's face was solemn. He had fought with Qingyu many times, so he naturally knew that the other party would definitely not be willing to share information unless there was a problem.
"Is it a trap? The information about the prey's strength is not true at all. I remember that before we came out, there was even information saying that the prey was only a fighter. Now, judging from the situation where Qingyu and the others were defeated, I guess this absurd information is indeed unreliable."
…
Outside the Holy City of Jiama, Ye Yu buried Qingyu's ring on a hilltop. From here, he could see many nearby mountains, which satisfied Qingyu's wish for freedom. He sighed and said, "You are also a victim of the persecution of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan. Rest here. You can't wait for me on the road to the underworld."
"What is this? You are responsible for both killing and burying?" Shouye was very puzzled by Ye Yu's behavior.
"At least I took a lot of the stuff in his ring, and I'll consider it as funeral expenses."
When he saw that the remains of the limbs had to be shackled by the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan to extract their blood essence, he couldn't help but think of Qingyu's words. The Sky Demon Phoenix Clan only cared about the inheritance of their bloodline, but no one cared about how many innocent monsters had sacrificed in the Phoenix Blood Realm. Some monsters might not be able to escape in their entire lives, and Qingyu was one of the people who was driven crazy.
"Then why did you bury him here? Those buried below are all ordinary people killed by monsters. Even though it was the lion, it must have something to do with this birdman." Shouye was even more confused. Who would be so wicked as to bury people together with their enemies?
"Oh, I just feel a little pity for his past. As for how he atones for his sins in the underworld, that's his business."
Ye Yu restrained all his expressions in an instant, shrugged his shoulders and turned away without hesitation. Qing Yu's experience only made him more convinced of the mistakes of the Sky Demon Phoenix Clan, but he was not qualified to forgive Qing Yu on behalf of the ordinary residents of the Gama Holy City.
Now he has to accept Jia Xingtian's invitation to take back his gains. His father is still in the Tian Yao Huang clan. He cannot stop until he can completely crush the power of the Tian Yao Huang clan. What's more, he doesn't know how many people have received Qingyu's signal and are on their way to hunt him down.
He rushed all the way back to the Holy City of Gama, and after a few months he arrived in front of the palace again. Coincidentally, the guard on duty this time happened to be the one who took his magic core.
"Hmm? This is a royal place. No one is allowed to enter without a warrant or an invitation!" The loyal guard stopped Ye Yu without hesitation. Then he saw Ye Yu's familiar face and thought of something: "Oh, you are the young man who asked to see Lord Jia Xingtian a few months ago. Sorry, you still can't come in without an invitation. For the sake of the magic core, I remind you that you should not waste your energy alone. It is better to start with other families and ask someone to bring you to the audience."
"You must be Ye Yu, right? Grandfather is waiting for you. Come with me." Without waiting for Ye Yu to respond, a mature and cold woman came out of the palace to greet Ye Yu. She turned around and told the frightened guards, "This is a distinguished guest of the royal family. Inform them that they don't have to stop him from entering and leaving the palace in the future."
"Mr. Ye Yu is highly valued by our great-grandfather. I heard that Mr. Ye Yu made a great contribution to the defense of the Holy City of Gama. Yao Ye, who is in charge of commanding the city defense, would like to say thank you to Mr. Ye." Yao Ye walked in front with grace and led the way. There was no test of a first meeting in his words. Instead, they were very sincere. He probably knew that Ye Yu was a person valued by Jia Xingtian.
"I didn't expect that Princess Yaoye would come to greet you personally. It's an honor for me, Ye Yu. As for the contribution I have made, I really don't deserve it. It's just for the benefit." Ye Yu followed up with some polite remarks and did not intend to take over the conversation.
Faced with Ye Yu's attitude, even Yao Ye, who was very shrewd, almost couldn't keep a straight face. Seeing that Ye Yu was unwilling to communicate too much, she quickly changed her strategy and unilaterally introduced some cultural customs. Soon she brought Ye Yu to Jia Xingtian's study. During the process, even Ye Yu had to admit that the other party's conversation skills were superb.
Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Ye Yu come in, they both turned their eyes to Ye Yu.
"Come on, sit here."
The attitudes of the two were intriguing, not as gentle as before, but not as serious either. From Ye Yu's own perspective, he felt that the two of them were a little more... restrained.
"Greetings, my Lords." Ye Yu bowed briefly and sat down without any hesitation. Since the other party had already made up some things in his mind, there was no need for him to explain anything.
"The purpose of inviting you here is to fulfill the conditions promised to you before. Here are the elixirs and exercises promised to you. In addition, there is a letter recommending you to study in Yunlan Mountain. Jia Lao and I guarantee you that you can practice in Yunlan Mountain without joining it. Except for the secrets that are not passed on, you are allowed to learn everything else."
Fa Ma handed the three items on the table to Ye Yu, and the skills were also taken according to the conditions given by Ye Yu in advance. Fa Ma glanced at Jia Xingtian, and after the two exchanged glances, Fa Ma continued: "I didn't know that there was a quasi-douzong strongman standing behind Ye Xiaoyou before. We were a little rude. Let's stop with the matter of accepting a disciple. Jia Lao and I have decided to allow you to propose a condition, as long as it is not excessive, we can agree to it."
