The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1366: Unrivaled Young Emperor

"S-Senior Sister Yu..."

Wang Ruquan slowly turned his eyes toward the woman in white. The moment his gaze fell on her face, the pain wracking his body seemed to ease by several degrees.

She looked like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting, so beautiful that one could almost forget where they were.

The Senior Sister Yu he spoke of was named Yu Qingping. She was an inner sect disciple of the Tempest Wind Hall and also a direct disciple of one of its elders. She was ranked within the top thirty on the Creation Star Ranking.

Her strength was far beyond anything Wang Ruquan could compare to. As for the relationship between Wang Ruquan and Yu Qingping, they belonged to two branches of the same great clan and shared a trace of blood ties.

After losing everything, Yu Qingping was the only person Wang Ruquan could think of.

"Do not overthink it. I only came to see whether you were dead. Your Wang clan branch has produced trash like you. You have brought shame upon the entire Xi Huang lineage."

Yu Qingping swept Wang Ruquan with a cold glance and spoke in an icy tone.

Wang Ruquan felt a chill settle in his heart. He spoke with a hint of pleading in his voice. "Senior Sister Yu, I know I was wrong about what happened before. The Yin-Yang Soul Jade should have belonged to you and Senior Brother Qin in the first place. I was blinded by greed for a moment..."

"Hmph! You still dare to speak about it!"

Yu Qingping glared at Wang Ruquan. "If it were not for the faint trace of shared blood, I would have killed you with one strike long ago!"

"Yes, it was my greed back then. However..."

Wang Ruquan spoke through gritted teeth. "That Yin-Yang Soul Jade was meant to be yours to begin with. Now that it has fallen into Ling Feng's hands, should you not find a way to take it back? I know that Senior Brother Qin has already reached the peak of Extreme Second Stage Human Emperor. With the help of the Yin-Yang Soul Jade, it will not be long before he breaks through to Extreme Third Stage."

When he mentioned Senior Brother Qin, a deep look of admiration surfaced in Yu Qingping's eyes. It was clear that her heart had long since been given to him.

"That's none of your business!"

Yu Qingping flicked her sleeve and gave Wang Ruquan a cold glance. Her figure shifted, and she vanished from the room like a passing breeze.

"Ling Feng!"

After Yu Qingping left, Wang Ruquan gritted his teeth and cursed. "You think that beating me means you can sleep easy. With Yu Qingping and Qin Zusheng around, you will not have a single peaceful day in Dongling Immortal Pool! Heh heh heh..."

He knew Ling Feng's temperament well. Even if Yu Qingping approached him politely, Ling Feng would never hand over the Yin-Yang Soul Jade. That meant a grudge was now firmly set.

Once the two sides clashed, Ling Feng would no longer know peace.

"Hahaha..."

Wang Ruquan laughed louder and louder. As he laughed, he suddenly rolled off the bed and crashed heavily onto the floor. Pain shot through his body, and he began to convulse as he let out screams like a pig being slaughtered.

...

After leaving Wang Ruquan's quarters, Yu Qingping headed straight for the Void Heaven Hall.

Qin Zusheng was the Senior Brother Qin mentioned by Wang Ruquan. He was the chief disciple of the Void Heaven Hall and ranked within the top ten of the Creation Star Ranking.

The top ten stood on an entirely different level from those below them. Qin Zusheng's strength already approached that of some inner sect elders.

Every expert ranked in the top ten of the Creation Star Ranking was given a fitting title called Young Emperor!

The meaning was simple. They were only one step away from becoming Great Emperors.

Qin Zusheng ranked eighth on the Creation Star Ranking and was known as the Unrivaled Young Emperor!

Before long, Yu Qingping arrived at Qin Zusheng's residence. Two inner sect disciples stood guard outside his palace.

With the status of a Young Emperor, one could already begin gathering followers.

Qin Zusheng carried himself like a king. Among the Ten Young Emperors of the inner sect, he had the largest number of followers.

In a sense, even Yu Qingping could be considered one of them.

"Fairy Qingping!"

When the guards saw Yu Qingping, they stepped forward to pay their respects. Although she and Qin Zusheng had not crossed that final line, anyone with eyes could see that Yu Qingping harbored deep feelings for him.

"I have come to see Senior Brother Qin. There is an important matter to discuss."

Yu Qingping inclined her head slightly as she spoke.

"Please come with me." The guard smiled faintly. Knowing the closeness between Yu Qingping and Qin Zusheng, he did not dare to block her.

Before she even entered, a clear whistle rang out from within the hall. A golden figure shot forth and appeared before them in an instant.

"Qingping, it is you."

Qin Zusheng merely stood there, yet a domineering aura swept outward. It pressed down upon everyone present and made their bodies stiffen. Their blood seemed to stagnate, their breathing grew tight, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.

The guards quickly retreated and bowed deeply toward Qin Zusheng.

"We pay our respects to the Young Emperor!"

Yu Qingping also bowed, but Qin Zusheng reached out to support her. "Qingping, there is no need for such formality between us."

A faint blush appeared on Yu Qingping's face. She bit her lip lightly and said, "Senior Brother Qin, I have come to speak with you about an important matter."

"Oh?" Qin Zusheng's eyes flashed with a sharp glint. "What is it?"

"It concerns the Yin-Yang Soul Jade," Yu Qingping said calmly.

"Hmph. I remember that matter well. Three years ago, you, Wang Ruquan, and I formed a team to explore a secret realm. When we opened the final hidden treasury, it was completely empty. Only later did we learn that the Yin-Yang Soul Jade inside had been stolen by Wang Ruquan."

After a brief pause, Qin Zusheng continued, "For your sake, Qingping, I spared his life. Has the Yin-Yang Soul Jade changed hands now?"

"That is correct." Yu Qingping nodded. She pressed her lips together gently before speaking. "A few days ago, Wang Ruquan gambled in a duel with an outer sect disciple and lost the Yin-Yang Soul Jade to him."

"An inner sect disciple losing to an outer sect disciple? What a piece of trash!"

Qin Zusheng sneered. "Who is this outer sect disciple?"

"These past few days, the outer sect has been in an uproar. His name seems to be Ling Feng," Yu Qingping said slowly.

"Ling Feng?"

Qin Zusheng gestured to an inner sect disciple beside him. "Yuwen Changkong, you will take responsibility for bringing back the Yin-Yang Soul Jade. If he is willing to name a price, then negotiate with him. If he refuses, then settle it with a wager duel."

"Yes!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The disciple named Yuwen Changkong nodded at once and laughed loudly. "Young Emperor, rest assured. It will not take long before I present the Soul Jade to you!"

"Senior Brother Qin, should I accompany Junior Brother Yuwen? The Yin-Yang Soul Jade will be of great help for your breakthrough to Extreme Third Stage."

When Yu Qingping spoke to outsiders, she was always cold and distant. Only in front of Qin Zusheng did she show a hint of a maiden's shyness. A faint flush colored her cheeks, like evening clouds reflecting off snow white jade, making her look as beautiful as a fairy.

"There is no need. Yuwen Changkong is more than enough to deal with a mere outer sect disciple. That is all, Qingping. I must continue my seclusion. When I emerge, I will go with you to see the sunset over the snowy fields."

As his words fell, Qin Zusheng's figure dissolved into countless points of golden light. It turned out that the Unrivaled Young Emperor Qin Zusheng who had appeared just now was nothing more than a soul manifestation.
