“Zi Yu, what are your plans next with your friends?” Cao Ying asked with concern.
Ye Yang turned to gaze into the depths of the mountains and smiled, “Tianhe and I plan to venture deeper into the Azure Cloud Mountain Range for some training. We’ll definitely return to Liang City in about a month to half a year. Uncle, please send a message to my father and let him know that I’m doing well.”
“Sure, I will!”
Cao Ying hesitated for a moment but ultimately patted Ye Yang on the shoulder and said, “Zi Yu, the depths of the Azure Cloud Mountain Range are extremely dangerous. You must be careful! I’ll hold a banquet in Liang City to celebrate your return!”
“Got it! Well then, we’ll take our leave!”
“Alright!”
Cao Ying clasped his fists, and Ye Yang along with Zhang Tianhe set off on their journey once again.
……
“Zi Yu, you’re really generous, giving away the Core of an Eighth-Stage Beast just like that…” Zhang Tianhe said with a hint of dissatisfaction. “That should be worth several thousand taels of silver at least, right?”
Ye Yang smiled, “Zhang Tianhe, as long as we have absolute strength, what does the Core of an Eighth-Stage Beast matter? If we lack strength, what good is having this Core?”
Zhang Tianhe didn’t quite understand his words and grinned, “Let’s go ahead and explore to see what surprises await us!”
Ye Yang nodded. A glance back revealed Yun Xiaoxi following leisurely with her sword in hand. Rather than tracking them, her demeanor resembled someone enjoying the scenery in the mountains, her beautiful face radiating delight and relaxation.
Perhaps Yun Xiaoxi was like a caged bird at Serene Gate? It was rare for her to have a mission outside the sect; she must want to enjoy herself thoroughly. However, completing this mission would not be easy for Yun Xiaoxi, which also put considerable pressure on Ye Yang.
Wang Dian was a general from the Qin State, and his death was clearly linked to Ye Yang. It was obvious that the person who killed Wang Dian was not Qin Fang but Zeng Xuan. Speaking of which, Ye Yang wondered how Zeng Xuan was doing in Liang City and if he was still sneaking around at night to steal Qiong Hua Wine.
A warmth filled his heart as Ye Yang suddenly missed Zeng Xuan, a sisterly figure who, despite being harsh to the point of cruelty most of the time, was still the one who came to save him in critical moments.
Deep in the mountains, two young men stepped forward without hesitation, followed closely by a beautiful girl at a distance.
...
In the valley.
Cao Ying ordered her clan members to chop down trees to make stretchers. Carrying two injured individuals, they hurried back while wielding long knives. Cao Ying felt quite complicated; she never expected that the one who saved her life this time would be Ye Yang, that useless boy who had long been looked down upon.
She touched the Core in her arms; this Eighth-Stage Beast Core was incredibly precious. Those who slay an Eighth-Stage Beast are rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver and granted the title of County Clerk. What an honor! Thinking of this, Cao Ying felt both excited and gratified. The Cao Family's status in the Fire God Clan was not very high, and even lower in Liang City. If she could obtain the position of County Clerk, she would naturally be able to command respect in Liang City!
...
Deep in the forest, several pairs of eyes were fixed on Cao Ying and her group.
The branches swayed lightly as a handsome young man slowly drew his sword, anger evident in his eyes. "Hmph, how is this possible?! Why... why is Ye Yang still alive?"
This person was Peng Cheng, accompanied by the charming Peng Yue'er.
After days of experience, their faces bore signs of hardship, yet they could not hide the beauty of this pair from the Fire God Clan. Behind them stood more than ten disciples of the Peng family, clearly all looking up to Peng Cheng and Peng Yue'er.
Observing the situation below, Peng Yue'er’s eyes glinted with anger. "That bastard Ye Yang! Hmph, how could he have become so strong? He killed an Eighth-Rank Magical Beast Azure Tiger in just two moves; how is that possible?"
Peng Cheng's expression darkened. "That was Wilderness Thunder, my Martial Arts Manual that was stolen by that despicable brat. Hmph! If he falls into my hands, I will definitely make him suffer!"
Saying this, Peng Cheng lowered his voice and said, "Prepare for an ambush. When Cao Ying and the others pass by here, leave none alive; kill them all!"
Peng Yue'er was shocked and exclaimed, "You...!!! Why do you want to kill Cao Ying and the others?"
A hint of resentment flickered in Peng Cheng's eyes as he smiled and said, "It's simple. Cao Ying seems to be on good terms with Ye Yang. Once he returns to Liang City, if the Cao Family and Ye Family become allies, their power will only grow. The position of the Peng Family's leader will surely be at risk. Moreover, Cao Ying possesses an Eighth-Stage Beast Core, which is a symbol of the Demon Extermination Order. We currently only have two Sixth-Stage Beast Cores in our possession, and we desperately need that Azure Tiger Core!"
Peng Yue'er bit her lip and said, "But... we can't kill our own kin just for a mere Core, can we? I absolutely refuse to partake in such despicable acts!"
Peng Cheng chuckled and wrapped his arm around Peng Yue'er's slender waist, saying, "Yue'er, dear, I resort to this underhanded tactic out of necessity. The Core is one aspect; there’s something even more important. After we kill Cao Ying, we can easily pin this incident on Ye Yang. Then, the head of the Cao Family, Cao De, will surely be furious and retaliate against the Ye Family. The Peng Family will then have a legitimate reason to take the Battle Axe Radiance from the Ye Family!"
As he spoke, Peng Cheng clenched his fist and smiled, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to uproot the Ye Family from Liang City completely. We cannot let it slip away!"
Peng Yue'er looked up at Peng Cheng with a complex expression in her eyes. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "You go ahead with this; I will not participate..."
"Hehe, girls are always soft-hearted. Alright then, I'll handle it myself!"
...
"Rustling..."
Cao Ying and the others walked over the gravel while gazing into the distance. One of the disciples laughed and said, "Uncle, after another whole day's journey, we should be almost at the foot of Liang City!"
Cao Ying smiled and replied, "Yes!"
But just then, Cao Ying's expression suddenly sharpened as he shouted, "Be careful! There's an ambush ahead!"
Unfortunately, it was too late. Accompanied by the roar of the giant beast, a sharp sword energy surged forth, taking the form of a lion's head, crashing in like a shockwave!
High-level Martial Arts Manual — Raging Sword Roar!
"Boom!"
The sword energy rampaged through, and the Cao Family disciples fell one by one. Cao Ying, caught off guard, could hardly withstand the long-prepared strike from National Talent Peng Cheng. A horrifying wound was torn open on his chest, and he collapsed to the ground, barely alive.
...
Peng Cheng stepped forward with his sword, a cold smile on his lips: "With just one Raging Sword Roar, I've achieved great success! Haha, Cao Ying, you were too careless!"
Cao Ying lay on the ground, his consciousness gradually fading. He watched as Peng Cheng raised his long sword toward his neck.
"Crack!"
Cao Ying's head rolled into the grass. Peng Cheng reached into his chest and retrieved the Azure Tiger Core, unable to contain his laughter as he looked up to the sky: "Eighth-Order Beast Core, it's ours now! Ye Yang, just you wait; I will collect what you owe me, Peng Cheng, double! Hahaha!"
