Chapter 161: Ye Bai's True Identity, the Two Sages of Heaven Rain!

~11 min read 2,101 words

A streak of Sword Qi from Zui Xiaoyao instantly locked Bu Chi Xiang Cai in place!

Pain!

Tears instantly streamed from the corners of Bu Chi Xiang Cai's eyes.

However, she felt no regret.

What had she done wrong?

In her heart, there was only resentment and fury toward Zui Xiaoyao.

"This is Brother Shangguan's home, and Brother Shangguan's master, the number one Grandmaster of Jiangnan Prefecture, Master Ye, Master Ye Sanjian, has gone to pick up Brother Shangguan! He will bring Brother Shangguan back!"

"No matter who you are, when Master Ye arrives, he will surely let you know what a mistake is!"

She knew that Ye Sanjian had gone to fetch Shangguan Yijian and that the two would return before long, so she had come ahead of time to wait for them, intending to comfort Shangguan Yijian, who had been injured in the Ladder Tournament, and let him vent his anger.

For this reason, she had brought many toys in her pockets!

And Bu Chi Xiang Cai did not have to wait too long.

Only a dozen minutes passed.

"Tap, tap."

Two figures entered the Zhuangyuan.

One had a gloomy expression, no longer possessing his former arrogance and aloofness.

It was none other than Shangguan Yijian, who was supposed to have been sent for judgment.

The other carried two long swords on his back, and an incomparably powerful aura radiated from his body.

The number one Grandmaster of Jiangnan Prefecture, Ye Sanjian!

"Wuu wuu!" The moment Bu Chi Xiang Cai saw the two, she immediately let out muffled cries.

She could not speak.

But her eyes were incomparably fierce, as if to say, Brother Shangguan and Master Ye, hurry up and kill this beggar who doesn't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth!

However.

"Xiang Cai?"

Seeing the current state of Bu Chi Xiang Cai, Shangguan Yijian was immediately enraged, his expression turning even gloomier.

Looking at the culprit, Zui Xiaoyao, who was still drinking, he only wanted to demand: who gave you the guts to touch my stress-relief tool on my turf?!

"Yijian, wait!" Upon seeing Zui Xiaoyao clearly, Ye Sanjian's expression instantly froze!

"Zui Xiaoyao, the Wine Sword King...

I do not know why you have graced my humble abode with your presence, Senior?"

Then, he said in a deep voice!

"Swish!" Shangguan Yijian's face changed wildly in an instant!

Bu Chi Xiang Cai's body trembled immediately, and an unknown liquid even flowed onto the ground!

Zui Xiaoyao is a name.

Wine Sword King, however, is a title.

A title that only a Seventh Grade Martial King can possess!

Only one grade away from the current Human Ceiling, he is a big shot who can be considered a top-tier powerhouse among all of humanity!

They never expected.

That this person dressed like a beggar was actually a powerhouse of the Martial King Realm!

"Hiccup, what did you say?" Zui Xiaoyao was still drinking and had not heard what Ye Sanjian said at all.

"Wait, you are Ye Sanjian, right?"

"Eh? I'm in Haicheng? How did I get here..."

"Drank too much, sorry, my head is a bit fuzzy..." Then Zui Xiaoyao held his head, looking completely muddled.

Is this person really a Martial King?

The disbelief in Bu Chi Xiang Cai's eyes grew even more intense.

Shangguan Yijian's gaze, however, began to flicker.

He was thinking that perhaps this senior was just muddled from drink and had come to his home by accident, and the reason he attacked Bu Chi Xiang Cai was because his toy had offended him first, not because he had any malice toward him.

This is an opportunity! An opportunity that belongs to him!

Regarding the Ladder Tournament incident, he had already felt that Ye Sanjian was sabotaging him.

Ye Sanjian coming forward to bail him out was not enough in his eyes; it was Ye Sanjian's responsibility in the first place that he had completely lost his chance at first place in the Ladder Tournament.

"If I can apprentice under this Martial King senior, I, Shangguan Yijian, will have no need to worry about being punished! Not only that, this senior also uses a sword; if I follow him, I can push my talent to the limit!"

"Ye Bai is very strong, but no matter how strong he is, does he have a master in the Martial King Realm?

Yes, I failed at the Ladder Tournament, but once I get to Martial University, I will still have a chance to take back everything I lost!"

However.

Before Shangguan Yijian could decide how to win the favor of the Martial King senior Zui Xiaoyao and change his allegiance.

"Hiccup, I remember now..."

"I came to vent for my disciple, and to ask for compensation by the way..."

"And then I used the compensation that was supposed to be his to ask for his tuition..."

"Oh dear, I seem to have forgotten to tell my disciple that I had something to do and left; he won't think I'm scamming him, will he?"

Some useful memories surfaced in Zui Xiaoyao's mushy brain.

"This senior already has a disciple?"

"Who is it?"

"And he came to Haicheng, is it to vent his anger for his disciple? Who offended the disciple of this Martial King?"

At first, Shangguan Yijian was just in a bad mood, feeling that his success rate in becoming a disciple of Zui Xiaoyao had dropped significantly.

But he was still comforting himself, as he was a genuine King-level Prodigy, and in just seven months, he had mastered a sword technique to the Minor Achievement level; he was surely more outstanding than that disciple of Zui Xiaoyao.

"Pfft."

A muffled sound suddenly rang out!

Zui Xiaoyao raised his hand, and another streak of Sword Qi shot out!

This streak of Sword Qi instantly pierced through Shangguan Yijian!

"Ah!" Intense pain, disbelief!

Shangguan Yijian felt that it wasn't just his body that had been pierced, but his heart as well!

"Sorry, drank too much, stabbed the wrong person."

"Ye Sanjian, you, come here, receive a sword strike from this old man..."

"You don't have any objections, right? You certainly don't have any objections.

After all, you have always bullied the weak, bullying my disciple Ye Bai; you must have realized your mistake long ago!"

Zui Xiaoyao said a few drunken words.

They were like a thunderclap, smashing into Shangguan Yijian's heart.

It left him feeling dizzy, and his eyes even turned red.

"This Martial King is Ye Bai's master!?"

"How is that possible? What right does Ye Bai have?!"

Bu Chi Xiang Cai's face twisted even more suddenly: "Is this Martial King blind? He actually took Ye Bai as a disciple?

My Shangguan Gege is so outstanding; if he were to take a disciple, he should have taken Shangguan Gege as his disciple!"

However, the one whose emotions fluctuated the most was Ye Sanjian.

"Senior, you, took Ye Bai as a disciple?"

"How could you take him as a disciple?

You also cannot protect him, he is..."

No one knew that Ye Sanjian had already prepared yet another killing trap for Ye Bai!

It was the very first moment he saw that Shangguan Yijian had triggered his will within the Zhansheng Sword and still hadn't killed Ye Bai!

He truly wanted to kill Ye Bai!

If it weren't for someone constantly watching him, he would have taken action himself long ago!

And this time, what he had prepared for Ye Bai were multiple King Bloodline Exotic Beasts of the Sixth Grade Alien Beast race!

The reason he didn't manage to invite a Qipin Shouwang was also because someone was watching him!

"But what? But my disciple is their child?"

However, Ye Sanjian had originally thought that Zui Xiaoyao taking Ye Bai as a disciple was either because he didn't know Ye Bai's true identity, or because he had drunk too much.

But he didn't even have time to finish his sentence.

Zui Xiaoyao chuckled and interrupted him!

"Ye Sanjian, oh Ye Sanjian, I won't even mention the Tianyu Two Saints; looking back at their past actions now, their merits outweigh their faults."

"They aren't dead yet; if you want revenge so badly, why don't you go find them?"

"Are you bullying the weak and fearing the strong, thinking my poor disciple is easy to bully?"

When he said this, he was no longer drinking.

Intuition also told Ye Sanjian that Zui Xiaoyao was sober at this moment.

Or rather, he had chosen to take Ye Bai as a disciple only after careful consideration!

"Senior, Ye Bai symbolizes disaster..." Ye Sanjian was still unwilling.

"Has a disaster ever occurred?"

Zui Xiaoyao said one more sentence, leaving Ye Sanjian speechless.

"Gulp, gulp, gulp." Zui Xiaoyao then started chugging wine again.

"Enough."

"Ye Sanjian, I came here not to persuade you to give up your revenge."

"I am not unaware of the principle that one should not preach kindness to those who have not suffered the same hardships."

"I am only here in the capacity of my disciple's master to vent his anger and, incidentally, to ask for some compensation."

When he spoke again, he had returned to that drunken state.

"Senior, do you mean that you will not stop me from killing Ye Bai, right?" Ye Sanjian's eyes lit up.

"Heh, if I were to kill your disciple now, would you stop me?"

"Don't talk nonsense," Zui Xiaoyao said bluntly.

"Two years."

"Haven't you always wanted to kill my disciple? Give my disciple two years of growth time, and I will allow you to fight him in a Life and Death Arena!"

"During this period, put away your little tricks; you should also be clear that with me here, your little tricks cannot kill him, they will only provoke me!"

Saying this, Zui Xiaoyao revealed the true purpose of his visit!

Just as Ye Bai had thought.

Ye Sanjian would not give up on killing Ye Bai just because Ye Bai had enrolled in Martial University.

Ye Bai viewed Ye Sanjian as a mortal enemy, and wasn't it the same for Ye Sanjian?

He would only think of trying again, and gambling again!

"Two years, that is too long..."

"Ye Bai is their child; his growth speed is very fast..."

Ye Sanjian gritted his teeth upon hearing this and did not agree to the request of Ye Sanjian.

"Then one year!"

"One year is also too long..."

"Ye Sanjian, do you think that this King has a very good temper?"

Zui Xiaoyao was somewhat dissatisfied, and Sword Qi faintly lingered around his body.

"Senior, Ye Bai has obtained the Mending Heaven Stone..."

"Even with just Grade A Talent, he still reached the Fourth Grade of Mind and Martial Arts in half a year.

Now with S-level Talent, in one year, I think he will at least be at the Seventh Grade of Mind and Martial Arts!"

Ye Sanjian still did not agree!

"Fine, I didn't expect you to still highly recognize my disciple's talent!"

However, upon hearing this, although Zui Xiaoyao felt helpless in his heart, he still acknowledged Ye Sanjian's statement.

"How about this, the 69th floor of the Tongtian Tower."

"I will have my disciple go to challenge the Tongtian Tower; the day he reaches the 69th floor will be the time for your Life and Death Arena!"

"If you are worried that he is intentionally hiding his skills, you can also let your disciple go challenge it during this period. If your disciple reaches the 69th floor first, your Life and Death Arena will begin all the same!"

He said!

"Many thanks, Senior!" This time, Ye Sanjian agreed!

"Then take a sword strike from me!"

"Oh, and also, give me the Clear Heart Grass first!"

Zui Xiaoyao then completed the goal of this trip and left.

It was said to be one sword strike, but in reality, as the sword was slashed out, ten thousand strands of Sword Qi pierced through Ye Sanjian!

His whole body was bleeding, yet he dared not have any objections!

However, after leaving the Zhuangyuan, he fiercely gulped down the last bottle of Immortal Drunk.

This Martial King powerhouse, who had just forced Ye Sanjian to bow his head, suddenly plunged headfirst into the flower bed nearby...

"Lord Heaven Saint, it is not that I do not want to get rid of Ye Sanjian for Ye Bai.

If I kill him, the pressure Ye Bai faces will only be greater, and I will not be able to cover for him."

"I can only do this much..."

He said drunkenly...
