Chapter 320: Chapter 317: The Return of the King (3)

"What? Fifteen years old?!"

Huangfu Jun and Huangfu Yu were both shocked to hear Jin Sanpang’s age.

Because of Jin Sanpang’s portly figure, it was difficult to judge his age by appearance alone without deliberately investigating.

They had assumed Jin Sanpang was around their age, or perhaps even a little older.

After all, in their eyes, reaching the Vajra Realm in the Mortal District, with its limited resources and standards, was practically impossible without decades or even a century of Cultivation.

But now, a fifteen-year-old at the Vajra Realm had appeared right before them!

What a joke!

Huangfu Jun didn’t believe it. He used a Secret Technique to focus his vision on Jin Sanpang and discovered that his bone age was indeed only fifteen!

Huangfu Yu did the same, and his shock only grew.

The two exchanged a look, both sensing that something was amiss.

’What is happening to the world?’

A fifteen-year-old at the Vajra Realm—it was unheard of!

They both considered themselves peerless geniuses, but they had been far older than that when they reached the Vajra Realm.

And they had been nurtured with the vast resources of the Hall of Envoys, a stark contrast to this barren Mortal District.

"Brother, what do you make of this?" Huangfu Jun asked via voice transmission.

Huangfu Yu pondered for a moment before replying, "Do you remember the order passed down by the Immortal Domain Ancestors eleven years ago? We in the Hall of Envoys spent a long time rushing between the various Mortal Districts for it. I suspect the item the Saint Ancestors are looking for is likely a supreme Treasure—one capable of improving a Cultivator’s talent!"

Huangfu Jun was startled. "Brother, you mean that Treasure is in the Mountain and Sea Empire?"

"Exactly!" Huangfu Yu nodded. "Think about it. In a minor Mortal District with such a low grade of Energy, how could a fifteen-year-old in the Vajra Realm possibly appear? And don’t forget that kid with the Dragon Blood Talent."

"We previously suspected he had obtained a True Dragon’s legacy, but now, I don’t think so. What kind of existence is a True Dragon? Why would it leave its legacy in a Mortal District? Therefore, I suspect his Dragon Blood Talent is also related to that supreme Treasure!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"This also explains why, after eleven years, the Saint Ancestors have issued another command to select talents from the Mortal Districts."

"Even if they can’t get the Treasure itself, they want the people who have been transformed by it!"

Huangfu Jun nodded repeatedly at Huangfu Yu’s analysis, in complete agreement.

"Then what should we do? Should we report this?" Huangfu Jun asked.

Huangfu Yu smiled but didn’t answer. Instead, he asked a question of his own, "Where in the Mountain and Sea Empire do you think that supreme Treasure is most likely hidden?"

Huangfu Jun didn’t understand why Huangfu Yu was asking this, but he still thought it over carefully before answering, "The Wailing Abyss!"

"Then, do you want to leap beyond the Hall of Envoys, go to the Immortal Realm, and become a hegemon of your own domain?" Huangfu Yu asked again.

"Brother, you mean..."

Huangfu Jun was stunned for a moment, then became overjoyed.

He’d have to be an idiot not to understand what Huangfu Yu was implying.

"Little brother wishes you success in obtaining this supreme Treasure, Brother! May you leap the dragon’s gate, display your might in the Immortal Realm, and attain the status of a Saint Ancestor!"

A supreme Treasure that even the Immortal Domain Ancestors would covet—one could only imagine how precious it was.

If they could obtain it, the futures of both he and Huangfu Yu would be limitless.

Huangfu Yu was very pleased with Huangfu Jun’s attitude. He promised, "Don’t worry, Jun. As long as I, Huangfu Yu, have something to eat, you’ll never go thirsty."

Huangfu Jun suppressed his excitement and asked, "So, Brother, what do we do now?"

"There’s no time to waste. Forget the others. First, we’ll deal with Qin Daye, then head straight to the Wailing Abyss!"

As he spoke, Huangfu Yu’s gaze shifted to the Fighting Cultivation Room not far away.

He hadn’t failed to notice that both Jin Sanpang and Liu Hui were deliberately avoiding looking at that place.

Therefore, it wasn’t hard for Huangfu Yu to guess that Qin Daye was inside!

"Emperor Li, for your sake, we’ll let this matter drop. However, I hope you won’t interfere with what we do next," Huangfu Yu said coldly.

Li Shimu was so furious upon hearing this that he almost lost control. ’For my sake, you’ll let this matter drop?’

’I was the one questioning you, damn it!’

After speaking, Huangfu Yu paid Li Shimu no further mind and walked toward the Fighting Cultivation Room with Huangfu Jun.

When had Li Shimu ever been so ignored and humiliated?

He clenched his fists, his mind wrestling with the decision, but he finally relaxed them.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to completely fall out with the Huangfu Family.

Besides, he knew that whether the Mountain and Sea Empire could secure external support all depended on whether the Blessed Qin Daye could display a sufficiently powerful talent.

As long as he could catch the eye of that family observing from the shadows, the Huangfu Family would no longer be a threat.

Seeing the Huangfu Brothers heading for the Fighting Cultivation Room, Jin Sanpang quickly entrusted Li Xuemiao to Nangong Yan’s care and charged forward himself.

’Don’t go in there!’ Jin Sanpang roared internally.

However, Huangfu Yu merely waved his hand casually, and Jin Sanpang was sent flying by a tremendous force, his body slamming into the mountainside next to the main road.

"HCK! HCK! HCK!"

Ignoring his injuries, Jin Sanpang forcibly pushed himself out of the rock and charged forward again.

He absolutely would not allow the Huangfu Brothers to disturb Mo Qi.

"Fatty, come back!" Liu Hui shouted, trying to stop him, but it was too late.

CLANG!

A flash of sword light shot out, piercing Jin Sanpang’s shoulder.

He was thrown backward, pinned to the cliff face.

Li Shimu frowned. He knew that sword strike wasn’t enough to kill Jin Sanpang, so he didn’t intervene.

Inside the Fighting Cultivation Room, Huangfu Jun and Huangfu Yu saw Mo Qi’s External Incarnation.

The External Incarnation’s eyes were closed, and it sat with its back against a Puppet, showing no signs of aura or Energy fluctuations.

If they couldn’t tell the Puppet’s material at a glance, they might have even mistaken Mo Qi for a Puppet as well.

"He’s Qin Daye? A... dead man?" Huangfu Jun was completely bewildered.

Huangfu Yu was just as confused.

The two approached Mo Qi. No matter what Secret Technique they used to probe him, they couldn’t detect the slightest sign of life from the External Incarnation.

"What is going on? Did we get it wrong?"

Just as the two were leaning in to examine Mo Qi up close, the External Incarnation’s eyes suddenly snapped open.

Three people, six eyes, less than two feet apart.

The scene instantly fell silent.

"Holy shit!"

The Huangfu Brothers jumped back in fright, instinctively retreating to the left and right to put distance between themselves and Mo Qi.

Mo Qi glanced at the Huangfu Brothers and processed the information his External Incarnation had received at top speed.

Although his main body had fallen into a coma, causing the External Incarnation’s consciousness to stagnate, it didn’t prevent the incarnation from storing everything it had seen and heard.

"You didn’t get it wrong. I am Qin Daye!"

Realizing what had happened, Mo Qi’s expression grew cold. He slowly rose to his feet, looked at the Huangfu Brothers, and said, word by word, "You have one hour to repent. After that, you die!"
