Chapter 3222: Hei Ya Appears
“The female senior said it was best for us to go to the Dong’an province. What kind of place is the Dong’an province?” Guihai Yidao was doubtful.
“Let’s go. Let’s leave here first. We can forget about entering this city. Let’s find a smaller city or town first and see if we can get any information on the Tian Yuan clan. Also, our strength is close to breaking through too. As long as we reach Godhood, we’ll be able to protect ourselves to a certain degree in the Saints’ World,” said Yang Lie. He was very dejected from having his resources stolen.
He glanced at the divine crystals left behind by the middle-aged woman. They were all high grade divine crystals. There were not a lot of them, but it was a huge sum to them as Origin realm cultivators.
Afterwards, he took out the tablet that Jian Chen had given him in the past and prayed inside, hoping that he could find information on the Tian Yuan clan as soon as possible through the tablet.
Yang Lie and the others all used their origin energy to take flight, soaring off in the opposite direction of the capital city.
However, right when they used their energy, a man in black who sat cross-legged in a secret room in the Tian Yuan clan in the distance suddenly opened his eyes as if he had sensed something. A smile of relief appeared on his face.
“I can finally complete the mission that master handed over to me with great seriousness before he left.” With a wave of his hand, a cluster of presences immediately appeared out of nowhere.
The four presences belonged to Yang Lie, Feng Xiaotian, Guihai Yidao, and Changyang Hu.
“It’s them, it’s truly them. These seniors have finally come to the Saints’ World!” The man in black smiled excitedly. Before he had even finished what he was saying, he had already vanished from the secret room silently. He left in a great hurry.
At the same time, the carriage that belonged to the Fenghuang clan rolled along the streets in the capital city of the Pingtian Empire slowly.
“Uncle Huo, just what was in that cultivator from a lower world’s Space Ring that even left you so excited?” the young master from the Fenghuang clan asked curiously in the carriage.
“Don’t ask or investigate. The items inside are of immeasurable value. Don’t talk about it,” elder Huo said sternly. His heart was already ravishing in joy from the thought of those items.
“However, those cultivators must die, or once news makes it out, it’ll be extremely disadvantageous to us. It’s just a pity that the people from the Hundred Acceptance sect suddenly appeared, preventing me from doing anything,” elder Huo said furiously.
“But there’s no hurry. Let’s stroll through the capital city for now. Once the people from the Hundred Acceptance sect are gone, I’ll go out and kill those people. That’ll eliminate any risk of this news spreading. With their strength at Reciprocity, even if I give them a month, they can’t escape the range of the senses of my soul.”
Yang Lie and the others flew through the air outside the capital city. They were extremely cautious, basically sticking down low, flying along the ground. They did not have the courage to fly at a higher altitude, just in case it drew the attention of others.
Even when they encountered other cultivators, they all chose to keep their distance, refusing to approach them.
They had already roughly understood where they were. This was outside the Pingtian Empire’s capital city. From the conversation between the Hundred Acceptance sect and the Fenghuang clan, they had gained a rough understanding of how terrifying the Pingtian Empire’s strength was as well.
Just the terrifying strength that allowed the Pingtian Empire to destroy the Fenghuang clan that possessed a Primordial realm expert whenever they wanted had completely exceeded their knowledge.
As a result, they also understood that anyone who appeared near the capital city either possessed a certain background or were quite powerful.
With their measly strength, they obviously had to be as careful as possible in a place like this where experts gathered.
At this moment, a man in black abruptly appeared on the horizon right in front of them. The man in black had concealed his presence completely, such that he seemed like an ordinary person. He smiled enthusiastically as he gazed at them excitedly.
Yang Lie and the others who had remained on high vigilance the entire time noticed the rather strange and eerie smile on the man in black’s face. It made their hearts tighten, instinctively avoiding him.
“This one is Hei Ya. Greetings, seniors!” But at this moment, the man in black bowed deeply. His resonant, excited, and slightly respectful voice rang out in their ears.
The group of people who were just about to avoid him instinctively stopped. All eleven of them looked at the bowing man in black. They were puzzled.
They looked around and discovered that there were no other people around apart from them.
“Fellow, are you referring to us?” The ancestor of the Potian sect stared at the man in black in suspicion. If they were in a backwater place, they could indeed be referred to as seniors as Origin realm cultivators in the eyes of Sainthood cultivators.
But this was not it. This was right outside the capital city of the Pingtian Empire, a place where Godhood cultivators gathered. Their strength at Reciprocity really was a little lacklustre.
The man in black ignored the ancestor of the Potian sect, as he did not recognise him either. Instead, he looked at four people among the group and asked, “Are you perhaps seniors Yang Lie, Guihai Yidao, Feng Xiaotian, and Changyang Hu?”
“You actually know us?” Yang Lie’s eyes narrowed. His face was filled with disbelief.
The other ancestors of the protector clans were all shocked as well. They were not expecting anything like this.
“Before master left, he instructed me with great importance to bring you seniors back to the Tian Yuan clan safely. I am in possession of your presences that master left me before he departed, so I recognised the four seniors immediately.” Hei Ya clasped his fist and bowed slightly. He spoke with great respect. He did not undermine Yang Lie and the others just because of their lowly strength.
He knew exactly who they were. Their strength might be nothing special, but their identities were utterly frightening.
When they heard the Tian Yuan clan, their eyes immediately lit up. It really did boil down to luck at the end of the day, despite all their effort. They just happened to be troubled over looking for the Tian Yuan clan, yet they never expected someone from the clan to appear before them all of a sudden.
“Oh right, who is your master? Don’t tell me he’s also a member of the Tian Yuan clan?” Guihai Yidao asked.
“My master is Jian Chen!”
“What? That kid Jian Chen is actually your master? Oh, that kid is accomplished. I never expected him to have even taken on a servant in the Saints’ World.”
“Taking on a servant in the Saints’ World isn’t something that any regular Godhood cultivator can do. Looks like Jian Chen has been doing quite well over the years.”
“Yang Lie, look at you. Your grandson of who knows how many generations has already achieved some success in the Saints’ World. You sure must feel proud as his great-grandfather.”
