Chapter 116: Various Phenomena, Usurping Fate
"Yes, Leader," Li Qi said respectfully.
"I've told you, call me Young Master when there’s no one around," Yang Chen replied with a smile.
"Yes, Young Master. I wonder when I should start calling you Your Majesty?" Li Qi asked with a laugh.
"It won't be long. Zhou Zheng has made some progress in the Heavenly Continent, successfully obtaining a position as a Thousand Household. Moreover, there are constant frictions among the Three Great Sacred Lands, so making achievements will be easy," Yang Chen answered.
"The Demon King Realm is bestowing titles; how great of a merit must the flag of Not Falling the Imperial Flag achieve?" Li Qi remarked.
"It is said that he saved the Seventh Prince of the Shadow Wind Dynasty," Yang Chen said.
"Seventh Prince? Is it related to the struggle for the throne?" Li Qi keenly sensed something unusual.
"That's right, it's pretty much as you think. The Seventh Prince is currently doing everything he can to support his own faction, and Zhou Zheng is one of them," Yang Chen praised. Seeing Li Qi riding back on the Nightmare, he sighed and said, "Much more handsome than the Unicorn. Li Qi, from now on, acquire and capture as many Nightmares as possible for me. In the future, I want to establish a legion—the Nightmare Iron Cavalry! I want the Nightmare Iron Cavalry to sweep across the entire East!"
"Yes, Young Master! I will inform the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce," Li Qi replied.
"Send out orders that anyone above the rank of Demon King Realm can join the Nightmare Legion. However, once they join the Nightmare Legion, they will no longer have command over soldiers, but they will receive a monthly military salary of ten Purple Gold Coins, along with special rights and treatment."
"Young Master, can I join the Nightmare Legion?" Li Qi inquired.
"You should just forget it. The Nightmare Legion is an independent army, only taking orders from the Captain of the Nightmare Legion and me. No one else can command them, nor can they allow anyone else to give them orders," Yang Chen explained. "The Grand Marshal of All Armies will definitely be you! Work hard; you are only a four-star Duel King now. If you don't put in the effort, how will you gain the respect of others in the future?"
"Yes, Young Master," Li Qi replied in agreement.
"Go buy Nightmare. I believe Wan Sanqian knows what to do," Yang Chen said.
"Yes, Young Master," Li Qi said respectfully.
Everything was going smoothly and steadily. As night fell, there was no attack on the city as Yang Chen had speculated. With no enemy generals launching an assault, Yang Chen ordered the soldiers to rest and did not take the opportunity to raid the camps because he did not want to see Zhang Gao defeated so thoroughly.
It is worth mentioning that brothers Xiao Wu and Xiao Jun were quite skilled at charming girls; they had already won over Celestial Spirit and Tianxin, and elopement was not far off. Thus, everything continued in an orderly manner, and five days passed in the blink of an eye. During these five days, around three thousand people joined the Nightmare Legion, including many lone warriors who could not resist the allure of Nightmare, joining both the Shadow Kill Camp and the Nightmare Legion. Moreover, their equipment was top-notch, and they rode six-tiered Beasts known as Nightmares. Someone joked that with this setup for wooing girls, just a wave of their hand would attract countless young women.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Yang Chen called over brothers Xiao Wu and Xiao Jun, saying, "In a moment, I need you two to perform a scene in front of everyone, and then you will take Tianxin away from here. How does that sound?"
"No problem," the two replied happily.
"This scene must be convincing, and you will be pursued by two Demon Lords from the Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary. For this reason, I will have my army's Fourth Legion Commander, Heavenly Gift, assist you," Yang Chen said.
Heavenly Gift stepped forward and said, "Greetings to both of you."
"Lao Fan" the brothers said simultaneously. Heavenly Gift nodded and did not say anything further.
"Heavenly Gift, calculate when they will arrive," Yang Chen instructed.
Heavenly Gift took out a compass, closed his eyes and calculated, saying, "Please inform me of your name, Young Master."
"Heavenly Maiden Sanctuary Saintess, Tian Mingyue," Yang Chen replied.
At the peak of the Duke, it should be easier to calculate than that of the Demon Lord.
Ten minutes passed, and Heavenly Gift remained silent, his eyes still closed. Twenty minutes passed, and Heavenly Gift still did not speak or open his eyes; only a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. Half an hour passed, and Heavenly Gift furrowed his brows tightly, sweat pouring down his face.
Suddenly, Heavenly Gift opened his eyes wide and shouted angrily, "Countless phenomena, usurping fate and deriving. Observe the present to know the future; open the door to the future!"
"Poof!" Heavenly Gift spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, changed the hand seal in his hand, turned the compass again, and shouted, "The path of usurping fate knows the present and connects with the past to understand the future; calculate, calculate, calculate, calculate!!"
"Poof." Heavenly Gift spat out another mouthful of blood, retracted the compass with a backhand gesture, and respectfully said to the void, "Thank you, stars." He then bowed nine times.
"Heavenly Gift, are you alright?" Yang Chen stepped forward, placing his right hand on Heavenly Gift's back, transferring Life Essence without hesitation while asking.
"Thank you, Young Master. I am fine; I just used a secret technique from our sect and suffered backlash."
"Backlash? Is it serious?" Yang Chen asked with concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master. I am fine. It's just that Tian Mingyue is protected by a Fighting Saint Expert, which consumed some of my energy. Fortunately, the opponent's Fighting Saint Expert is not very strong; he is only a Four-Star Dou Saint. Otherwise, I would not only have been detected by him but also faced life-threatening danger," Heavenly Gift explained.
"Fortunately, I immediately mobilized the power of celestial phenomena to conceal the heavenly secrets and misled that Fighting Saint Expert. However, I was still discovered," Heavenly Gift continued. "In the end, at a critical moment, a Senior from the Transmutation Path helped me out just in time, allowing me to escape from the counterattack of the Fighting Saint Expert." A Fighting Saint Expert from the Transmutation Path? Yang Chen looked up at the sky and smiled slightly.
"Confused, and then discovered? How to say," Yang Chen asked.
"It means the other party found out I was calculating him, but he doesn't know what I've deduced," Heavenly Gift replied.
"And the result?" Yang Chen inquired.
"Fortunately, at nine twenty-eight this morning, the other party will arrive at Galaxy City," Heavenly Gift said.
"Good, Heavenly Gift, take some time to rest. You still need to help them four leave later," Yang Chen instructed.
"Yes, Young Master."
In the high sky, an old man dressed in a white robe with long hair flowing in the wind helplessly said, "Good kid, making me work for you again. I really don't know how to describe you." He then leaped down to the side of eight martial artists, just as they were still conversing:
"Saintess, someone just used the method of fate calculation on us, but the opponent's cultivation is weak and couldn't deduce anything before I countered him. However, it seems there is an elder protecting him, so he didn't suffer any harm."
"Thank you for your efforts, Third Elder," Tian Mingyue said.
"Couldn't deduce anything? Hmph, how could my Meteorological Sect be that incompetent?" Yi Tianzheng muttered to himself before appearing before Tian Mingyue and the others. He then smiled and said, "Little girl Tian Ying, you were quite ruthless just now; you almost killed my junior disciple."
"So it's Elder Yi. Was it Senior's disciple who was calculating us just now? No wonder," Tian Ying said understandingly. She then turned to Tian Mingyue and said, "Saintess, this is the Yi Tianzheng I mentioned to you before."
