Chapter 486: You’re in A Boat, I’m In A Boat, We’re All In The Same Boat

“Er, maybe you didn’t hear me clearly earlier, but this guy is the Earthly Sovereign Hall descendant’s servant.”

“I heard you. So what?” Ye Qing countered.

“So what? First you killed his subordinate, now you’re taking his Profound Yellow Qi! Do you really want to fight Yue Juejiang to the death?!”

Yi Pin said urgently, “It’s one thing if you’re not injured, but just look at the state of you! Fighting him now would be like an old man eating poison to live longer! So please, put down that calabash already. It’ll be better for everyone.”

You might have a death wish, but I don’t!

Ye Qing didn’t give him an answer immediately. “Heh. Can I ask you a question, brother? What kind of person is Yue Juejiang?”

“He’s arrogant and domineering,” Yi Pin replied. “Why do you want to know?”

“Exactly as I imagined him to be then. People like him cannot tolerate even the slightest defiance. Even if his servant is no more than a dog in his eyes, he is still the dog’s master. As such, he will never allow this slight to go unpunished,” Ye Qing explained. “From the moment we killed him, Yue Juejiang has become our sworn enemy.”

“Excuse you? You’re the one who did everything! I’ve got nothing to do with this!” Yi Pin corrected, though he had to admit that Ye Qing’s argument held a grain of truth.

“Haha, let’s not fuss over the details, shall we? My point is, the situation can’t get any worse than it already is, so why not make the best out of it?” Ye Qing smiled. “Besides, if you move fast enough, then the danger won’t be able to catch up to us.”

Yi Pin looked completely confused. The hell are you talking about?

Ye Qing ignored him and waved his left hand. The Netherflame immediately gushed out and turned Han Meng into a pile of ash.

“What are you doing?” Yi Pin asked.

“I’m eliminating the evidence,” Ye Qing answered before waving his hand again and scattering the ashes. Now, not even a trace of Han Meng’s existence was left in this world.

“Eliminating the evidence?” Yi Pin repeated numbly like a parrot.

He must have done this many times in the past, Yi Pin thought. Just look at how casual and practiced his movements are.

Wait, that’s not the point. The point is, this is a useless act.

“Brother, destroying the body isn’t going to help anyone. After all, the calabash is still here. It’s called the Profound Yellow Qi Calabash, an exclusive Strange Artifact that the Earthly Sovereign Hall had specifically created to store the Profound Yellow Qi. I’m certain Yue Juejian has left a mental imprint on it, so trying to hide it is just delaying the inevitable. The only thing you can do is to destroy it.”

“However, the Profound Yellow Qi Calabash is grown from a Innate Spirit Root Profound Yellow Vine. It is impervious to the elements and tough as steel. At our current strength, it’s literally impossible to destroy it.”

Yi Pin let out a depressed sigh when an idea occurred to him. “Wait a second. I have a plan! We can simply throw it away! That way, Yue Juejiang won’t be able to trace it back to us!”

Han Meng was gone in every sense of the word. It should be impossible for Yue Juejiang to identify his murderer, nor was it worth the time and effort. It was highly unlikely that Yue Juejiang would turn the place upside down over the death of a single dog unless the Profound Yellow Qi in the Profound Yellow Qi Calabash was used.

One thing Yi Pin noticed was how Ye Qing was able to conceal his true cultivation level and the Profound Yellow Qi he just refined perfectly even from his eyes. He had to admit that it was quite impressive.

So, what should he do with Ye Qing’s plan? Should he agree or disagree?

He agreed, of course. He literally had no other option.

If he disagreed, the first person Ye Qing was going to kill was him as he was the one person who knew his whole plan. Plus, he needed Ye Qing to survive this place.

As for pretending to agree to Ye Qing’s plan and inform the others about it later, the thought did cross his mind, but that was all. He might suck at martial arts, but he was a good judge of character. Sun Xuanzhen and Huo Linglong were one thing, but Yue Juejiang didn’t think of anyone else as human. In his eyes, he was just a tool to collect the Profound Yellow Qi and an ant he could kill any time he wanted to.

Even if his betrayal had gone perfectly, all he would earn for his efforts was nothing. He might as well help Ye Qing out and ensure that his insane plan succeeded.

He was in Ye Qing’s boat whether he liked it or not.

There was one more reason he believed that helping Ye Qing was the right option. Inside the Earthly Sovereign’s Coffin, the threads of fate were blurry and impossible to divine. However, he was the descendant of the Temple of Divination. He might not be able to divine an exact answer, but his sixth sense still told him that Ye Qing would be fine, just like how he knew that he wouldn’t die here.

After all, Ye Qing came not long after he was trapped in this heavens-forsaken place, didn't he?

So, he surrendered to Ye Qing’s whims and did whatever he wanted.

......

“Hmm? Something went wrong?”

Inside a different room, a handsome youngster in his twenties was meditating in silence. He wore a dark yellow robe that oozed with nobility, and his posture bespoke cultivated grace and power.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes. The walls shook like a thunderclap had erupted inside the room.

“An ant dares to covet my Profound Yellow Qi Calabash? They must die!”

The young man was none other than Yue Juejiang, and just now, his connection to the Profound Yellow Qi Calabash suddenly disappeared into thin air.

As Yue Juejiang rose to his feet, it was like a mountain was slowly rising from the ground. The air groaned as if it couldn’t withstand the pressure.

After he left his room, he stomped the floor so hard that the surrounding air rippled outward like a tidal wave. Then, he roared, “All of you, show yourself this instant!”

The air was already whipping about in a chaotic and disorderly fashion, but his roar literally tore it asunder.

“Who’s the bastard who’s shouting like a madman? Do you want to die?”

One man slammed open his door and rushed out into the open, but the blood drained away from his face when he realized his mistake. Yue Juejiang threw a punch, and he slammed into the bluestone wall behind him. His limbs were spread wide, and blood poured out of every orifice.

Those who just left their rooms turned as silent as death when they saw this.New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
