Chapter 688 - Great Sky Demon Art

Chapter 688: Great Sky Demon Art

You also came for Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse.

The relaxed and cunning expression that belonged to elves could no longer be detected on Wan Wan’s face. It was as if the person in front of her was an even more terrifying enemy than Shi Feixuan. The lackadaisical look on her face was gone, replaced by endless graveness and wariness.

I heard that there is a treasure that destroyed an entire dynasty in Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse. Those from the righteous path, evil path, and the imperial court are all interested in it. It’s not that surprising that I’ve become interested in it because of the trend, yes?


I suppose this is human nature… But you should not have destroyed the holy order’s plan.
Wan Wan sighed airily.
Those who go against the holy order never end well.

As the two spoke, Yang Xuyan and the Twin Demons had already walked upstairs. Three pairs of eyes were fixed on the mysterious man in the Bamboo Hat sitting at the table.
If their gazes could kill, the injured red-haired woman would have slaughtered that person multiple times!
But the trio did not dare act recklessly. Even though they could not sense any fluctuations of qi or threat from the person, they acted like a waiter skipping work with a guilty conscience, and it was enough to tell just how terrifying the person was.

Who is he?!

There were quite a number of martial artists on the first floor, but they maintained a great distance from the group while they stared at them. Everyone recalled the information of the characters from Twin of Brothers, but no one could link any of the characters in the story to the person at the table.
Everyone’s puzzlement grew stronger as time passed.
The atmosphere in the room slowly became more solemn, and a fight was about to break out at any moment.

Miss Wan Wan, you speak too seriously. The evil cult has always been the enemy of the sects in the world of martial artists and the nemesis of the righteous sects. But still, the many sects are enjoying a good life, aren’t they?

The mysterious man in the Bamboo Hat calmly poured himself wine, and he did not show a single hint of fear even when the quartet surrounded him with hostility in their gazes.
This further added to the puzzlement and unease in the Twin Demons’ hearts.

I didn’t expect that Empress Yin would be here as well. Looks like we’ll be parting ways for now. Farewell!

Before the Twin Demons could react, the mysterious man in the Bamboo Hat picked up the pot of wine on the table and drifted out of the restaurant without any flashy movements. His movements were just like a willow.
Even Yang Xuyan did not manage to react to the situation. The only person who chased him out of the restaurant was Wan Wan.
When the Twin Demons ran to the window, the duo had already disappeared.

So fast!


I wonder who it is.

The duo turned around to look at Yang Xuyan in hopes that they could get some information from him, but all they saw was his eyes sparkling with complicated emotions. Then, he left without a word.
Silence fell in the restaurant.

What should we do now?


What can we do? We failed the quest, and Empress Yin will definitely punish us by sending us to that damn place for isolated training again. I wonder where that person came from. Even Wan Wan and Yang Xuyan could not kill him.


If we managed to complete this quest, we could have entered Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse. This map is definitely even better than Sky Demon Secret Cave. I didn’t expect that someone unknown would ruin our plans.

The red-haired woman clenched her teeth and cupped her wound. She was exasperated and incredibly infuriated that she lost such an opportunity.
The purple-haired man sighed.
Oh well, it’s a matter of time before Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse is open to the public. We’ll still have a chance.

He stopped talking for a while, but he did not forget to comfort the red-haired woman.
Ying Shang, that person mentioned just now that Empress Yin appeared. There’s a chance that the key will return to the holy order…

His words allowed the red-haired woman to relax, and she sat down to treat her wounds.

Outside Yangzhou City was the mysterious man in the Bamboo Hat. His robes fluttered while he charged ahead. Wan Wan followed closely behind, but there was always a set amount of distance between them. No matter what Wan Wan did, she simply could not close the distance to get in range.
The mysterious man in the Bamboo Hat had an incredibly solemn expression while he continued running.
Suddenly, the area ahead of him distorted, and an astonishingly mighty pressure descended from the sky. Sound waves tumbled about and came at him from all directions.

Boy from the Murong Clan, you let Qing Yuan and Shi Feixuan escape, and you do not intend to die to be accountable for your actions? Hmph!

Zhu Yuyan’s voice was filled with incredible anger and might. It caused the mysterious man in the Bamboo Hat to freeze a little.
Great Sky Demon Art!
The mysterious man reacted very quickly. A strange aura quickly rose from him, and starlight seemed to have lit up in the air. The power of Great Sky Demon Art which had closed on him suddenly missed its target.
However, Wan Wan, who chased after him, suddenly felt a shocking power envelope her. She instantly felt as if her body sank into mud. Her expression changed drastically, and her speed lowered by a large margin. She could not help but land on the ground.
Whoosh!
The mysterious man suddenly increased his speed and broke free from her chase. He charged hundreds of feet forward, and the distance between him and Wan Wan instantly widened.

Hmm?

Zhu Yuyan, who appeared behind Wan Wan, frowned and released a soft gasp in surprise.
Shifting Stars… What a technique. I didn’t expect that the Murong Clan would value the boy so much. They gave him both Joined Finger and Shifting Stars.

Wan Wan scowled even more and moved beside Empress Yin.

Mistress!

Just then, Happy had shifted the effect of Great Sky Demon Art on her, which caught her off guard, and she sank into the swamp that was Great Sky Demon Art.

Forget it.

Zhu Yuyan could see the indignation in her beloved disciple’s eyes, but she did not continue the chase.

That boy is incredibly slick. He has Joined Finger and Shifting Stars, so even if we caught up to him, we could do nothing to him. Besides, he has already practiced Nine Yang Divine Skill, and he has an endless supply of qi.

He won’t be afraid of fighting a battle of attrition with me. We will only be led further and further away from this place. At that time, it’ll just cause a delay in our operations in Yangzhou.

When Wan Wan heard her mistress’ words, she let go of the matter even if she felt incredibly indignant.
The event had the bonus of making her less arrogant. She no longer believed that there was no one else but Shi Feixuan among the younger generation who could compare with her.
Happy was incredibly young, but soon after he became famous, he gained the power to fight against her head-on, and he even made her suffer losses a few times.

Let’s go back.

Once Empress Yin and Wan Wan left, Happy learned about their departure through his spiritual senses from Nine Yang Divine Skill, and he went back to Yangzhou City.
He had already removed the Bamboo Hat, and there was a faint hint of resignation and laziness on his face as he mumbled to himself.
Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse is so rich with treasures that it can fight against the country and overturn the imperial court. The Murong Clan’s appetite is indeed very great this time.

Over the past half a month, Happy had trained hard, as usual. Not only did he manage to complete the quest to learn one hundred martial arts from the Murong Clan and successfully learned his fifth ultimate technique, Shifting Stars, his Arhat Body finally moved from Bronze Arhat to Silver Light Arhat.
The defense of his body fortification was nearly four thousand, and when he activated Silver Light Arhat, for three seconds, he could negate and avoid 90% damage from his enemies. It made him nigh invincible.
But even if Happy was given a hundred doses of courage, he would not dare to move around carelessly in front of the great Empress Yin Zhu Yuyan.
What happened just then was his first use of Shifting Stars. Even though he used up quite a lot of his qi, he managed to shift everything except for the damage from a Myth Realm martial artist, and it was something he was very pleased with.
He believed that there was now a chance for him to survive the suicidal Overturn Quest.
