Imperial Treasure-Chapter 834 - 511: Yellow Springs Dragon Master, NPC?
"He said, many years later, when I have overturned everything for revenge, there will be someone from afar who can become my noble person and help me break free from the demon’s grip. But he also couldn’t see through you, he only knew that you had an inexplicable connection with this Hellfire."
"And the first time I saw you, I felt some similar aura on you."
"Sui Yi, maybe you are the biggest player in this game."
"And you are also my last retreat."
After Sui Yi left, the Hell Prince Florence took a step, and his figure drifted down in front of the coffin like black smoke. His palm gently stroked the lid, and he said softly, "You all must have been disturbed, but she’s actually quite a good person.. Ah Yuan, if you were still here, you’d definitely become friends with her... she’s a lot like you.."
"If only you were still here, how great that would be."
"But it won’t be long, you’ll be back by my side soon."
"It can be done."
----------
Through the conversation with the true Hell Prince who should have died many years ago, Sui Yi could gather a lot of information that the other intentionally or unintentionally revealed.
First, the Hell Prince’s greatest enemy, like him, maintained a state of immortality and replaced him as the master of Hellfire.
Second, the Yellow Springs Dragon Master, for some unknown purpose, originally invited to eliminate the Hell Prince, was now helping him escape.
Third, the current situation was undoubtedly caused by two people: one, the real Hell Prince, and two, the fake Hell Prince. One aimed to seize the treasure suppressed by the Yellow Springs Seal, the other for revenge. They are opposites, and anyone can become their pawn.
Fourth, the real Hell Prince possessed the ability to manipulate substances inherently. Hence, the incidents involving Foss and the Ron Family were directed by him, but the changes within Hellfire were primarily aimed at prompting them to unseal the Yellow Springs Naihe Seal, which had no benefit for him, so it must have been the fake one orchestrating it.
Fifth, several new characters had already been added to this game: one, Natasha. Her timely arrival indicated she had either voluntarily or passively involved herself in this round. Based on her performance, she should be the real Hell Prince’s helper. Two, Yi Chilian. He was invited by the fake Hell Prince to break the stalemate. According to Sui Yi’s understanding, he should have other plans. Three, Landis, Mo Luo, and others; these people have weaker character presence but strong backgrounds. The Hellfire encounter couldn’t be merely coincidental. Four, the Yellow Springs Dragon Master, who initially seemed to be an implicit NPC, had now shown some NPC traits. Five, she herself was also a part of this, especially with the final words from the Yellow Springs Dragon Master to the real Hell Prince, which undoubtedly included her directly in this game.
Based on the above information, Sui Yi could determine one thing: the ultimate boss was the Hell Prince and...the Emperor of England. The Emperor of England, driven by some ambition, orchestrated this Hua Sha banquet, trapping them on the island, and a significant number of them were beneficial to his plan. For instance, didn’t they draw the Yellow Springs Sword?
And the Hell Prince Florence stirred the conflict between the Ron families, successfully involving the Duke’s Mansion, inserting people into the noble commercial circle--and drew her in.
By the way, what role did the Duke’s Mansion play in all of this?
The ultimate hidden NPC was the Yellow Springs Dragon Master, while the ultimate quest reward artifact was the mysterious treasure restrained by the Naihe Seal.
The most important aspect was that mysterious treasure, not only the target of the Emperor but also what Wu Jue was after.
"Immortality... undying, yet again immortality." Sui Yi had ventured many times, and a substantial number of secrets were related to immortality, and immortality had something to do with her, and she was related to Wu Jue.
So... is she immortal, or undying?
When Sui Yi understood this connection, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
She understood why Wu Jue wanted her to do such a thing.
--It was to make her understand step by step, to realize who she truly was.
At the top of the mountain, in that passageway, Yi saw Yi Chilian. The usually gentle and elegant nobleman was a bit disheveled at the moment. Surrounded by many schematic diagrams, he was swiftly sketching and recording the runes on the cave wall.
Like this... looked a bit neurotic.
"Looks like you spent two days and still haven’t resolved your secret task." Yi had no fondness for this nobleman, so she taunted him bluntly.
Yi Chilian glanced sideways at her, saw the Yellow Springs Sword in her hand, and couldn’t help but smirk: "Not as successful as you. If she didn’t value you so much, could you have been so smooth?"
Yi narrowed her eyes, "So are you jealous or sarcastic?"
Damn it!
Yi Chilian turned his face away, minding his business. "Mocking me does you no good. If I can’t open this gate, they’ll all die."
"As long as it doesn’t include her, what do others matter to me?"
"But she cares."
"...."
Yi carried the Yellow Springs Sword, glanced around. There was only Yi Chilian here, "He’s not here... blended among those people? Who is it?"
"The one who acted isn’t him," Yi Chilian sat cross-legged on the not-so-clean ground, comparing various schematics in his hand while saying, "It’s someone you all never suspected, someone swapped halfway."
Swapped halfway...
Yi’s expression suddenly changed, her face sank: "It’s her."
"Of course it’s her, and this person is very powerful. That night, after I was controlled, that person told me her strength could seal off everyone there unless I helped him open this gate." Yi Chilian shrugged, the stubble on his upper lip was obvious, "I haven’t slept for two days... that Yellow Springs Dragon Master went out of his way to create trouble, using twelve types of Maoshan Taoist runes to merge into the gate mechanism language. Even a single mistake in writing a character could trigger some rather unsafe mechanism."
"Congratulations," Yi said coolly.
"If I can’t open this gate, you won’t get the Naihe Seal, and even with the Yellow Springs Sword, you won’t achieve your goal. She won’t help you release what’s on Sui Yi... What exactly has been placed on Sui Yi?" Yi Chilian was frustrated at not knowing many things, and this woman was clearly more familiar with Sui Yi.
Sui Yi didn’t guard against her.
Yi turned her face, "I don’t know, only that when that woman makes a move, it’s never a small problem... at the very least, it will be very painful for her."
The scars on her back and arms, the witchcraft rune had already begun to grow. If time went on longer... nobody knew what kind of terrifying witchcraft it would turn into... She lowered her eyes: "Even if it’s for her, please try your best."
Hehe~
Are you threatening me or mocking me?
But for the proud assassin Yi to proactively seek help from others, it seems the issue with Sui Yi was quite severe.
Yi Chilian suppressed her sneer, turned her face, and quickened her pace.
"Give me a quarter of an hour, it’s almost done."
A quarter of an hour? In a place where Yi Chilian couldn’t see, Yi pressed down on her own heart and closed her eyes,
she could still hold on.
Time passed second by second...
Yi Chilian pressed her palm on a piece of paper, which had only one line of crooked, strange text, roughly nine characters, matching the ten dials on the door.
The dials had thirty-six characters, each character had to be turned correctly to form a combination lock...
Yi Chilian’s headache lay in the fact that such a recluse as the Yellow Springs Dragon Master, an old man of great wisdom, had set such a sophisticated mechanism, it was quite exasperating.
"What does it mean?" Yi glanced at it and asked.
"No idea."
",..."
Yi Chilian found the correct characters, turned the dials, but he really wasn’t sure what the text meant.
Anyway, opening the door was the primary task now.
Next.
The two exchanged glances, each harboring secrets.
Click, click, the sound of the dials turning was clear.
When it reached the seventh dial.
Yi suddenly turned around and looked outside.
"They’re here."
"Natasha’s people."
Philip had indeed arrived, right outside the cave, twisting his wrist, looking at the entrance, saying, "White Blade’s Yi, a renowned new-generation assassin in international circles, the youngest, yet already ranked at the bottom of the international Tiger Ranking’s top hundred, no, should now be in the Tiger Ranking’s top ten."
ABCDE is the power level ranking, belonging to the Adventurers’ Guild type of tier ranking, but in terms of combat strength ranking, globally in the circle, the Dragon-Tiger List is the mainstream.
It can be said that the ABC power level is the ID card rating, while the Dragon-Tiger List is the universally acknowledged glory ranking.
Yi early on was a rising star assassin, quite famous internationally, Philip and the others were much more familiar with her than with Sui Yi.
But this girl had improved too much.
In less than half a year, she had leapt from a typical B-level to an A-level.
Even if drugs played a role, you couldn’t deny her current strength.
So now...
Philip flicked his fingers, and the cold air around him was burned away by the golden light crackling from his fingertips, his sharpness rising.
Weapons on Fess and the others all started vibrating.
Golden weapons control.
Only the Yellow Springs Sword on Yi remained motionless.
Swish, swish, swish, over thirty weapons floated behind Philip, he smiled: "Throw over the Yellow Springs Sword in your hand, I really don’t want to act against a young beautiful girl like you..."
Yi gripped the Yellow Springs Sword, walked out slowly from the cave, her short hair shimmering with a silvery light under the clearly visible moonlight at the peak.
Her long eyelashes cast faint shadows as they lowered.
She slowly unsheathed the Yellow Springs Sword.
The Yellow Springs killing intent rose, asking no one of life and death.
Philip smiled slightly, waved his hand, swish, swish, swish! Over thirty weapons roared forward!
Swish!
The Yellow Springs Sword was unleashed! The murky, black-tinged killing aura surged like a sword wave, sharp and fierce!
Crash!
The sword wave slammed!
Over thirty weapons trembled, their sharpness dissipating!
Five meters away from her!
~~ Swish! Philip was already gliding like an eagle among the thirty-odd weapons, drawing the long sword from his waist, raising it, jumping, and slashing!
Damn! Philip’s a boss, taking it so seriously?
Fess and the others were stunned by Philip’s seriousness, also by Yi’s formidable strength, and so they all automatically retreated backward. (To be continued.
