Chapter 997: Inexplicable Shock
Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins
Xuan Ming and Zuo Shi followed Shi Yan flying in the dark universe.
Xuan Ming looked at the refined body in front of him, his eyes complicated. He had a regret that he couldn’t hide in his face.
He had always remembered this young man. He was the most outstanding talent of Human Clan in Grace Mainland. He used to raise a storm, cooperating with Monster Clan in Perpetual Night Forest to resist other clans. He won in the end.
At that moment, this young man had only True God Realm cultivation base. During the great war that happened in Perpetual Night Forest, Yan Long and the Monster clansmen had asked Xuan Ming if he wanted to join this operation.
However, Xuan Ming had always cared for Zuo Shi. He wanted to deny it but he couldn’t shake Zuo Shi’s persistent will. In the end, he allowed the Monster Clan to join that epic battle.
In that year, Xuan Ming was the peak warrior of Grace Mainland, the leader of the Monster Clan in Perpetual Night Forest. He was the decision-maker of his clan.
In that year, this young man had shown his talent and lead his team to victory. He had helped his people settle in Perpetual Night Forest.
In that year, this young man wasn’t bad in Xuan Ming’s eyes. But he was just… wasn’t bad. Xuan Ming didn’t put him in his mind. He helped him because of Zuo Shi.
Times flew. Things change. Meeting up today in Agate Star Area, this young man had the realm and powers that he couldn’t see through. He also has three bloodthirsty warriors accompanying him. They smashed Drifting Cloud’s warriors, the ones that Xuan Ming couldn’t even have the thought of resisting against! The young man’s team had crushed them all.
It hasn’t been one hundred years yet and this man in Agate Star Area has reached such high level!
Xuan Ming had an inexplicable shock. Looking at the young man in front of him, Xuan Ming felt like he had made a wrong presumption that year. A big mistake, indeed.
The young man had surpassed him and was heading to the marvelous heights that he could never imagine. Not only did he settle down in Agate Star Area, he also seemed to have a better life here.
Xuan Ming felt bitter. He sighed reluctantly. He knew some people were born to be fighters. Such types of people were never able to be predicted.
“Shi Yan ge-ge, you… you killed Leonard of Drifting Cloud. Aren’t you afraid?” Zuo Shi asked as she was frightened. After that shocking scene, she had immeasurable respect towards Shi Yan. Her voice wasn’t as smooth as it used to be.
In her mind, Drifting Cloud was an intimidatingly powerful force with many warriors and a Second Sky of Ethereal God Realm warrior. They were famous in the Southwest. She thought that they were a force that she could never resist.
However, Shi Yan’s warriors were like brutal Gods that had slaughtered the others. Zuo Shi was happy at that moment, but now she somehow felt anxiously insecure. She was afraid that Shi Yan had provoked great trouble and that the Drifting Cloud would chase after him to kill him.
“It’s okay. Let alone Leonard, if the Master of Drifting Cloud were on the ship… he would be killed too.” Shi Yan snickered, his aura surging torrentially.
Almost one hundred warriors were massacred. Most of them were at King God Realm and Original God Realm. While their Essence Qi was being filtered through his acupuncture points, Shi Yan had a premonition! After he had digested this energy, he would inevitably break to another level and easily reach Third Sky of Original God Realm!
His realm was secure and strengthened. Now, he just needed sufficient energy to break through. The previous slaughter was enough for him to transform his energy!
“Are you sure? Everything will be alright?” Zuo Shi asked carefully.
Shi Yan smiled, shaking his head and talking firmly. “Don’t worry. From now on, you don’t need to struggle to survive anymore.”
Zuo Shi’s eyes brightened. She clenched her small fists. Her innocent face now had a new, different lively aura.
Xuan Ming was suddenly baffled. He looked ahead of them and his face changed as he couldn’t help but shout, “Battleship! It’s so huge!”
Zuo Shi saw that and screamed in astonishment, “What an amazing battleship!”
In front of them was the anchored battleship of Potion and Tool Pavilion. It was several thousand meters long and hovered like a dormant, ancient beast. In this dark space, it gave people an imposing feeling.
Drifting Cloud’s battleship was just a toy compared to this one. It was ten times smaller. Although Zuo Shi and Xuan Ming weren’t experts in this field, they knew that the battleship in front of them was of the top-quality battleships in Agate Star Area. Drifting Cloud’s battleship was nothing compared to this one.
Of course, their values were much different.
Xuan Ming was anxious, watching here and there. He looked at Shi Yan’s team who was quite calm. He suddenly understood and asked, “What’s that battleship doing here?”
“Waiting for us,” Shi Yan chuckled.
Xuan Ming and Zuo Shi were so surprised. They looked at that battleship with fear, their eyes so strange.
Fu Wei of Potion and Tool Pavilion was wearing a long blue dress, standing on the deck of the battleship. She looked like an elegant and gorgeous blue flower. She beamed a smile, waving at them and urging, “Hurry up!”
Xuan Ming and Zuo Shi looked at Fu Wei of Potion and Tool Pavilion and the flag on the ship. They suddenly recalled the force that they had heard in their legends.
“Potion… Potion and Tool Pavilion! Are they people of Potion and Tool Pavilion?” Xuan Ming’s voice trembled worriedly.
Potion and Tool Pavilion was really famous in Agate Star Area. Its name was even more well-known than intimidating forces everywhere. It was the most mysterious and unpredictable force. Compared to Potion and Tool Pavilion, Drifting Cloud wasn’t worth holding its shoes or having its voice matter. Basically, they weren’t on the same level.
Xuan Ming knew that the strong forces in the Southwest considered doing business with Potion and Tool Pavilion for their glory. The Southwest was a remote area anyway. Every time the battleship of Potion and Tool Pavilion arrived, masters of the strongest forces there would sway through the crowd in order to get approval from Potion and Tool Pavilion.
In Xuan Ming’s heart, Potion and Tool Pavilion was one of the most influential forces in Agate Star Area. It was a force that they could only look at and not be able to touch. This organization was the most terrifying existence in legend they had never seen before.
However, the battleship of Potion and Tool Pavilion anchored here to wait for Shi Yan’s team today. What kind of level has he reached?!?
Xuan Ming didn’t dare to imagine further.
While Xuan Ming and Zuo Shi were perplexed, layers of barriers of the battleship opened, making a channel for them to land.
At the moment they landed on the deck of the ship, layers of barriers closed again. The aura of this battleship disappeared as if it had vanished in this universe from this moment. Zuo Shi and Xuan Ming became more frightened. Now, they understood how mighty Potion and Tool Pavilion was.
“Shi Yan ge-ge, are you a member of Potion and Tool Pavilion?” Zuo Shi stammered. She became helpless with her limbs.
“No, he isn’t.” Fu Wei smiled gently. “Our Potion and Tool Pavilion doesn’t have such a fortune. He’s arrogant. He doesn’t like us.”
Fu Wei still kept it in her mind. Shi Yan had denied her offer, making her feel lost. She knew Shi Yan had a close relationship with Monster Clan and Demon Clan. He would never join Potion and Tool Pavilion. She was disappointed with this. That was why she teased them.
Xuan Ming and Zuo Shi were bewildered. Looking at Shi Yan at this moment, they found the man to be more mysterious.
“This is the youngest Elder of Potion and Tool Pavilion, Fu Wei.” Shi Yan smiled and introduced. “This is my little sister, and old…friend. I hope Miss Fu Wei will take care of her well. I’m going to cultivate for a while. Please help me with this.”
“Don’t worry, leave it to me.” Fu Wei smiled and said.
Shi Yan nodded to Zuo Shi and Xuan Ming who were still baffled. “You guys stay here. Don’t worry about anything. After I’m done with my cultivation, I’m going to find you. We’ll talk.”
Zuo Shi and Xuan Ming nodded instinctively though they were filled with shock.
Potion and Tool Pavilion had only twelve Elders. Each of them held powers. They were all legendary existences in Agate Star Area. Xuan Ming and Zuo Shi knew this well.
The gentle girl in front of them was one of the Elders of Potion and Tool Pavilion. Also, rumors said that she was the youngest one with the best innate talents. That Young Elder had treated Shi Yan very well and was very friendly… He… What kind of position did he have in this Agate Star Area?
Xuan Ming felt lost and down. Comparing his helter-skelter situation to Shi Yan’s, a bitter feeling flooded his heart that he couldn’t drive it away.
Shi Yan and Fei Lan’s group left immediately, heading into the battleship.
Fu Wei smiled tenderly. She came and held Zuo Shi’s hand. “What a cute little sister. Come with me. I’m going to give you something nice.”
She nodded to An Yun, asking, “Treat this venerable gentleman well.”
Xuan Ming was surprised and kept saying thanks. “Oh please, don’t be so polite.”
Xuan Ming felt like a dream staying in this huge battleship guarded by the Elder of Potion and Tool Pavilion. He felt as if he was walking on thin ice. He couldn’t adapt to this environment just like an old countryman entering a royal palace. No matter what he tried, he felt so uncomfortable.
“Sir, come with me. I’m going to show you your place and the cultivating room.” An Yun bent her body slightly although she disdained him. For what Shi Yan had supported her party, she appreciated him much. He had given her weak party a chance to overturn everything.
As they had to give Shi Yan’s face, she was hospitable to Xuan Ming. With a faint smile, she led Xuan Ming to the battleship.
Fu Wei directly took Zuo Shi to her private room. She smiled and then asked, “Are you close to Shi Yan?”
“Oh yes. We were born in the same city. I’ve known him since I was a little girl.” Zuo Shi also felt the pressure. She admired and respected this tender woman. “Does he live well in Agate Star Area?”
“Him? Of course, he’s good. The Chiefs of Monster Clan and Demon Clan favor him. He doesn’t have anything to be afraid of in this star area. He will be the new star of Agate Star Area.” Fu Wei smiled, “Tell me something about him. I’m curious.”
“He… He was also powerful in our place. He has always been powerful.”
Zuo Shi was anxious, telling the other Shi Yan’s stories.
Zuo Shi was naive. She didn’t know that Fu Wei just wanted to pry her. She was tense. However, Fu Wei tried to guide her and help her relax. She started to talk and she couldn’t stop. Her voice was like the birds singing. When she came to the fun facts, she laughed and giggled cheerfully.
Fu Wei listened to her attentively. Sometimes, she would say something to make the atmosphere better. She made Zuo Shi feel more relaxed.
Fu Wei didn’t know Shi Yan’s real identity. Potion and Tool Pavilion didn’t have any record about him, either. As she finally had a chance, she knew how to seize it. She hated that she couldn’t ask to identify at least eighteen generations of his family.
As Zuo Shi was telling her his stories, Fu Wei became more interested. She smiled like warm sunlight. Her maiden heart sent out vibes.
