1986: Destructive Warriors

Destructive Warriors

Yi Wentao was shocked!

He wanted to deny it, but when he looked up, he met Jun Jiuqing's scrutinizing gaze as if he had seen through everything.

"…I've really underestimated you!" Yi Wentao's heart sank. To be able to ask such a question, it's enough to prove that Jun Jiuqing knows much more than I had previously thought! Previously, I couldn't tell at all! If I had known earlier, I would've been wary of him!

"You flatter me. I was just making a casual guess. You have to tell me the truth yourself." As Jun Jiuqing spoke, he sat down at the side.

From the looks of it, if Yi Wentao didn't give him a satisfactory answer today, he wouldn't leave.

"You've done your best for the Yi family for many years, but in the end, you ended up in such a state. Even I feel pity for you."

Jun Jiuqing's words were like sharp blades that stabbed into Yi Wentao's heart!

"Just tell me what you want, and I'll help you get it. What do you think?"

Yi Wentao sneered in his heart. It sounds so nice, but Jun Jiuqing is just doing it for himself!

The room fell silent.

Yi Wentao didn't say anything, and neither did Jun Jiuqing.

The two of them faced each other silently. The coldness of the intermediate night was almost suffocating.

After some time, Yi Wentao finally closed his eyes. "…What she's holding is the Celestial Shield."

Jun Jiuqing looked up, and there seemed to be a glimmer in his eyes. "Celestial Shield?"

He had heard of many famous Yuan instruments in the God Residence Realm, but he had never heard of this one. But for Yi Wentao to go through so much trouble, it must be an extremely precious item.

According to Chu Liuyue, Yi Wentao seemed to be doing it for Peach Blossom Dock. However, he was actually going for the Celestial Shield.

If that's the case, then… What kind of existence is this Celestial Shield? How could it attract Yi Wentao more than the huge Peach Blossom Dock?

"I wonder what kind of treasure the Celestial Shield is to make the family head yearn for it so much?" Jun Jiuqing asked.

Yi Wentao suddenly laughed and turned to look at Jun Jiuqing.

His scarlet eyes flickered with a bloodthirsty light in the dark night, making one shudder. Then, his deep and hoarse voice sounded in the room. "I'm not sure about the rest, but once I have the Celestial Shield, I have a high chance of breaking through!"

His voice was very low as if it would dissipate in the wind at any moment. However, Jun Jiuqing still heard it clearly!

He frowned.

Above legendary warriors, there were even higher-level existences. But in the God Residence Realm, nobody had broken through this shackle for 10,000 years.

All cultivators were trapped as legendary warriors. No matter how hard they cultivated, they couldn't advance to the next level.

But now, Yi Wentao actually said… With the Celestial Shield, he would be able to break through?

No wonder he cared so much!

There were thousands of cultivators in the world. Who didn't want to become stronger?

A top legendary warrior like Yi Wentao was even more so.

He had seen too many things in the secular world and didn't care at all. This was the only thing that could make him fanatical!

If this news were to be known by others, it would probably cause an enormous storm! However… Who can be sure if this is true?

Just by relying on a shield, he can cut through the 10,000-year-old binding rope? Jun Jiuqing remained suspicious about this, but he didn't completely deny this possibility.

There's no smoke without fire. The fact that Yi Wentao was willing to spend so much effort proved that he had a reason. Otherwise, according to his cautious personality, he would definitely not act so rashly.

Yi Wentao chuckled when he saw the change in Jun Jiuqing's expression. "Heh… Tell me… Who wouldn't want such a thing?"

"Nan Yifan doesn't know about this," Jun Jiuqing interrupted him and said lightly.

This wasn't a question but a statement of certainty.

Yi Wentao wasn't surprised that he could guess it. After all, the series of events in the Nan family during this period of time was enough to explain everything.

If Nan Yifan knew this, he wouldn't have taken such a risk.

"Then… Did you hear about the Celestial Shield from Black Demon Hole?" Jun Jiuqing suddenly thought of something and looked up at him.

Yi Wentao took a deep breath. "Yes."

"That's strange. Why would that person from Black Demon Hole be willing to tell you such important news? He seems to… need this more, right?" Jun Jiuqing asked with interest.

"You know a lot." Yi Wentao gave him a meaningful look, but he wasn't shocked.

Ever since Jun Jiuqing asked that question just now, he knew that Jun Jiuqing definitely knew a lot.

"Of course, I didn't get this information for nothing. I got it in exchange!"

Jun Jiuqing narrowed his eyes. "The family head is capable to be able to exchange for such news… Then, I wonder what you used to exchange for it?"

Yi Wentao sneered. "How do you think he escaped from Rong Xiu's subordinate a few years ago?"

…

Peach Blossom Dock, Yue Manor.

In the courtyard stood a few peach trees.

Under the peach tree was a green rattan chair. At this moment, there was a person half lying on it.

A gentle breeze blew over, and pink and white peach blossoms fell one after another, making that person's white clothes look even whiter than snow.

His eyes were closed, and his facial features were clear and smooth. He could be said to be perfect.

From afar, he looked like he was carved from the best jade by the heavens. He didn't look like the color of the human world.

This was what Yu Mo saw when he walked in.

He had been by Rong Xiu's side for many years, so he was already used to His Highness's peerless looks. But when he looked at the latter again, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. If Yan Qing really had homosexual tendencies, he should like His Highness, right? Could there be a better-looking man than His Highness in this world?

No, His Highness could no longer be described as beautiful. He is simply—

Just as Yu Mo let one's imagination run wild, Rong Xiu opened his eyes.

He looked over and happened to see Yu Mo staring at him thoughtfully. His gaze was even more…

Rong Xiu squinted his eyes slightly.

Yu Mo suddenly felt a chill and finally came back to his senses. He looked over and met His Highness's gaze.

He immediately shuddered. Hiss—it is so cold! His Highness's gaze is so scary!

He wanted to break into a run, but his strong desire to live finally urged him forward. "Your Highness, the matter you asked me to investigate previously has come to a conclusion."1

Rong Xiu sat up. "Say it."

Yu Mo's expression turned solemn as he bowed and said, "Your guess is right. A few years ago, a portion of the people you fought with were indeed not from Black Demon Hole."

He paused before continuing, "There are three people from the Yi family!"
