Chapter 166: Third Senior Brother, are you not old and dim-sighted?

The golden light fell, revealing the old man's figure, holding a black short staff in his hand, which looked like gold and iron, yet also had the feeling of wood.

Ye Yuanling looked at the position where the Huai King had just been. After learning about Qin Jiang's situation from He Feiyun, although his heart was extremely shocked, he didn't have time to think too much and rushed over without stopping.

Even the Immortal Artifact originally intended to deal with Fushan and the Huai King was brought along.

Even, he was prepared that if Qin Jiang was truly as He Feiyun said, he would save Qin Jiang at all costs, even if it meant self-destructing his True Spirit! But now, the Huai King was actually gone? The energy that erupted just now was too terrifying; his divine sense couldn't probe it at all, and he couldn't know what had happened at the time.

Looking at Qin Jiang, he was truly a handsome young man! But this appearance... where was there any sign of injury? His heart tightened. The power of the energy that erupted just now was so formidable that even if he held an Immortal Artifact, he would be seriously injured; it would never be as calm and relaxed as this.

"Little friend, no need to force yourself; I have brought an Immortal Artifact, which can heal all Dao injuries!"

Hearing this, Qin Jiang smiled. He had thought about what this person would say, but he hadn't expected the first sentence to be worrying that he was forcing himself.

"I am fine, it's just a pity that the Huai King ran away."

He felt some regret. If the other party hadn't had a top-tier Immortal Artifact, they would never have been able to escape so easily; even if they didn't die, they would have had to shed a layer of skin!

Hearing this, Ye Yuanling's expression changed slightly, still feeling lingering fear. He truly hadn't expected that the Huai King had actually stepped into the peak of True God; he was hiding too deeply!

"Little friend, don't be discouraged. This Huai King is as wise as a demon and is by no means an ordinary person. He was able to sneak into Great Xia, and he must have had a foolproof way to escape. Even if the Immortal Ancestor acted personally, he might not be able to keep him."

He had clashed with Huai Wang in the open and in the shadows countless times, and he knew very well how terrifying this person was! Trying to compete with him in schemes was almost impossible; only by crushing him head-on with absolute strength, as Qin Jiang did, would work.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. It was truly hard to imagine that even at this time, such an extraordinary talent as Qin Jiang could still appear.

Is it truly that 'times create heroes'? I am truly old.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, a cold intent rising in his eyes. Next time, next time he would personally take the Huai King's head.

"Hehe, I haven't introduced myself yet. This old man is Ye Yuanling; I imagine little friend should have heard of me," Ye Yuanling laughed.

"Naturally, the current Grand Marshal of the World's Armies, the former Governor of Yuan Prefecture," Qin Jiang said.

He hadn't heard Ye Yuanling's name much, but he had heard the title of the former Governor of Yuan Prefecture many times.

Ye Yuanling stroked his beard and laughed lightly. "Why not go down first? Speaking of which, this Ning'an was also the place where I started."

Looking at Ning'an City below, memories of the past couldn't help but well up in his heart. At that time, he was just a small tavern servant.

On the main peak of the Copper Bell Sect, Long Wenliang had already gone to organize manpower to evacuate, although it might not be of much use, waiting for death was absolutely impossible.

Long Daosheng looked anxiously at the sky. The violent energy fluctuations just now could be clearly felt even from such a distance; it was hard to imagine how terrifying the center of the energy eruption would be! And what made him feel most powerless was that he couldn't help at all.

For a True God, even if he self-destructed his Martial Fate, it wouldn't count as any threat; it was estimated that it wouldn't even make the other party glance at him.

"Senior Brother, what are you looking at?"

A familiar voice rang in his ears. He turned his head abruptly, only to see Qin Jiang sitting at the table picking up food.

"Not eating? It's all cold," Qin Jiang asked.

"Junior Brother! You! The Huai King!"

For a moment, Long Daosheng actually became a bit stuttering.

"It's a pity I couldn't kill the Huai King and let him run away," Qin Jiang said.

Hearing this, Long Daosheng took a deep breath and shook his head slightly. "No matter, what kind of person is that Huai King? If he were really that easy to deal with, he wouldn't have become the heart-trouble of our Great Xia."

He sat down and picked up food casually. Before he could put it in his mouth, golden light suddenly shone above Ning'an City, then fell rapidly, descending on the main peak, but it didn't stir up any waves.

The golden light solidified. Ye Yuanling looked at Qin Jiang with some surprise. "Little friend has great means; your control over spatial power has reached the extreme."

Mastery of spatial power is different from the True Spirit realm; not every peak True God can master it. Worthy of being an extraordinary talent who could repel the Huai King, no matter which aspect, it makes people hard to catch up to.

"Senior, you flatter me," Qin Jiang laughed.

"You... you are Ye Ancestor?" Long Daosheng looked at Ye Yuanling in shock, a person he had only seen in portraits now appearing alive before him.

Ye Yuanling looked at Long Daosheng, only feeling that his face was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"My father is Long Fengxuan," Long Daosheng said excitedly.

Back then, his father had told him that if he encountered any unsolvable problems in the future, he could go to the Prefecture City Governor's Mansion and seek Ye Yuanling, who would help him solve it.

But if there was nothing to do, he must never go to disturb him.

But the Long family had never had any crisis, until later, when he heard that the border war was urgent and Ye Yuanling was transferred to the Imperial Capital, he had no intention of seeking Ye Yuanling anymore.

After all, it had been two hundred years, and it was hard to say whether the other party would still remember.

It was just that he hadn't expected to meet in such a situation.

Hearing this, Ye Yuanling suddenly realized. "So it is Fengxuan's son. I remember when I left back then, your father was still a little baby. Where is he? How is he doing recently?"

Hearing this, Long Daosheng's eyes dimmed. "My father passed away more than a hundred years ago."

Ye Yuanling frowned. "What happened? When I left back then, I left a spot for the Vajra Indestructible Body for your father; he should have had several hundred years of lifespan left."

Long Daosheng's eyes were puzzled. "Back then, my father went to the Wilderness and returned seriously injured. He once said he was going to the Prefecture City to seek medical treatment, but later, for some reason, he didn't go. A few years later, he passed away. At that time, you were still the Governor of Yuan Prefecture."

Ye Yuanling was stunned, then reacted. "This child, he was like this since he was small; why didn't he know to come and seek me?"

He sighed with regret. Back then, he had clearly promised his old friend to take good care of Fengxuan, but he was busy with the affairs of the Prefecture City and ignored Fengxuan, and even when he left office, he hadn't returned to take a look.

If he had paid attention at that time, how could it have come to this?

"Don't blame yourself, Ye Ancestor. When my father left, he didn't have any resentment, just regret that he couldn't see you one last time," Long Daosheng said.

Ye Yuanling lowered his eyes. "Can you take me to see Fengxuan's grave?"

"Naturally."

As he spoke, Long Daosheng looked at Qin Jiang. "Junior Brother, I am going with Ye Ancestor to pay respects to my father."

Qin Jiang nodded slightly. After the two left, he placed a wine bowl opposite him and filled it with yellow wine.

Step, step, step.

Footsteps came. "Big Brother! Big Brother! Everyone has gathered, when are we leaving?"

Long Ye's loud voice came, and he froze in place the moment he saw Qin Jiang.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"Am I not awake? That shouldn't be."

He muttered to himself, thinking he was hallucinating.

"Third Senior Brother, are you not old and dim-sighted?" Qin Jiang laughed.
