Chapter 127: Chasing Greater Power

Ever since his entire family was wiped out by Ying Zheng and he himself was assassinated, Xing Hun had never forgotten that blood feud for a single day.

After joining the Yin-Yang School, in order to take revenge, he cultivated Yin-Yang arts bitterly and diligently, which allowed him to cultivate Yin-Yang arts to an extremely profound level in a short time. Later, he passed many tests and became the Yin-Yang School's Protector, Xing Hun.

This was once something he was quite proud of.

However, his pride was easily crushed by Su Xuan not long ago.

Years of bitter cultivation could not withstand a single flick of the other's finger.

In the blink of an eye, he was severely injured. Even though several days had passed since Su Xuan defeated him and became the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, the injuries in his body had still not recovered.

The power of that flick caused him extremely serious injuries, meaning that if Su Xuan wanted to kill him, it would be an easy task.

Thinking of this, he found it even harder to accept.

Besides Su Xuan being stronger than him, another reason was that Su Xuan was a man of the Qin King, Ying Zheng.

And the Qin King, Ying Zheng, was the murderer who slaughtered his entire family.

Although Donghuang Taiyi also intended to submit to the Qin King, Ying Zheng, the two were ultimately different.

If Donghuang Taiyi had not let the Yin-Yang School save him that day, he would probably have died.

It can be said that although Xing Hun was arrogant, he did have some gratitude toward Donghuang Taiyi.

"You are very unwilling?"

While Xing Hun was gnashing his teeth alone, a low voice rang in his ear.

Xing Hun turned around abruptly and saw a figure wearing wide robes and a black mask.

"His Excellency Donghuang!"

Seeing the person who appeared beside him, Xing Hun lowered his head, his attitude quite respectful, but he did not respond to Donghuang Taiyi’s previous words.

"How could I be willing?" Donghuang Taiyi also uttered such words.

Xing Hun looked at Donghuang Taiyi in disbelief.

"Even His Excellency Donghuang also..."

That day in the main hall of the Yin-Yang School, the battle between Su Xuan and Donghuang Taiyi was witnessed by no one. When the leaders of the three sects and five departments arrived, they only saw Su Xuan sitting on the high platform, while Donghuang Taiyi stood below, having ceded the position of Sect Master to Su Xuan.

Although some guessed that they might have had a battle.

But the impression of Donghuang Taiyi’s strength had always been rooted in the hearts of the Yin-Yang School members. Although everyone had guesses, it was hard to accept this fact.

Until now, hearing these words from Donghuang Taiyi, Xing Hun immediately had the answer.

His Excellency Donghuang, I fear, was... defeated!

Only if he lost would he cede the position of Sect Master to that person.

Just as Xing Hun was guessing, Donghuang Taiyi’s voice rang out again, "I am leaving!"

"Where is His Excellency Donghuang planning to go?" Xing Hun asked hurriedly.

"To seek even greater power!" Donghuang Taiyi replied.

'Is His Excellency Donghuang’s power not strong enough?' Xing Hun was just about to say such words, but the words stopped at his lips. If His Excellency Donghuang were strong enough, he could not have ceded the position of Sect Master to that person.

"Are you prepared to leave with me?" Donghuang Taiyi asked Xing Hun.

Xing Hun was stunned, not expecting that Donghuang Taiyi would find him to ask such a question.

He pondered for a while, and finally gave the answer, "I will go with His Excellency Donghuang!"

Su Xuan had become the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School. What the Yin-Yang School would become under Su Xuan’s command, no one could say clearly. Thinking that Su Xuan was Ying Zheng’s man, and thinking of his own defeat at Su Xuan’s hands, Xing Hun did not want to stay in the Yin-Yang School anymore.

"Very good!" Donghuang Taiyi nodded slightly, very satisfied with Xing Hun’s answer. "Rest assured, it won't be long before we return."

When they return, the Yin-Yang School will return to his hands!

……

The fact that two people were missing from the Yin-Yang School was soon known to many high-ranking members.

If it were ordinary disciples, if they died, they died; it was no big deal.

But the two who left were the former Sect Master, Donghuang Taiyi, and the Protector, Xing Hun.

These two had extremely high status in the Yin-Yang School. Although they did not account for half the foundation, they were pillars of the school.

"They have already left. What about us? Or rather, what are your thoughts?"

In a pavilion, a woman in a blue dress asked another woman.

The one asking was the other Protector of the Yin-Yang School, the Moon God.

Xing Hun and Donghuang Taiyi leaving the Yin-Yang School—such a big event had a huge impact on them, inevitably making them have some thoughts.

Yan Fei did not answer the Moon God’s words immediately. She frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "I do not intend to leave the Yin-Yang School."

"Oh?" The Moon God looked at Yan Fei in confusion.

Yan Fei said, "Donghuang Taiyi and Xing Hun are leaving because they are unwilling. One was the Sect Master, yet the position was snatched by another; the other, harboring hatred, was defeated by someone. Rather than staying in the Yin-Yang School and staying by the side of the enemy, it is better to leave the Yin-Yang School."

"As expected, they left the Yin-Yang School to pursue even greater power."

"One day, if they truly obtain sufficiently powerful strength, they will certainly return."

The Moon God looked at Yan Fei in surprise. "You know them quite well."

"Hmph!" A faint smile curled at the corner of Yan Fei’s mouth, noncommittal.

The Moon God asked again, "What about you? Do you not pursue power?"

Before Xing Hun joined the Yin-Yang School, the one most keen on pursuing power within the Yin-Yang School was actually Yan Fei. Yan Fei was also the strongest person besides Donghuang Taiyi.

"Powerful strength, why go out to seek it? In our Yin-Yang School, is it not already here?"

"Already here?" The Moon God frowned, puzzled.

"You have already seen it!" Yan Fei said to the Moon God again.

The Moon God pondered for a while, and soon, she knew who Yan Fei was talking about.

Su Xuan, since he could defeat Donghuang Taiyi and defeat Xing Hun with a flick of a finger, this meant he possessed extremely powerful strength.

Such a master had now become their Yin-Yang School Sect Master, which meant this powerful strength was within the Yin-Yang School; why would they need to go out and seek power?

……

Yin-Yang School main hall, on the high platform.

Yan Yan Lingji also learned about Donghuang Taiyi and Xing Hun leaving, and could not help but ask Su Xuan, "Why did they leave?"

"Because I became the Sect Master of the Yin-Yang School, and the Yin-Yang School no longer has a place for them!"

Su Xuan gave the explanation.
