Chapter 469 β Little Tricks
Meng Wu Yaβs strange aura and strength made the three Blood Warriors unconsciously feel tremendous pressure whenever they were around him. They really couldnβt imagine what force in this world could produce such a master.
This sense of intimidation wasnβt something a Peak Immortal Ascension Boundary master could make them feel. Only the supreme experts at the Above Immortal Ascension Boundary should be able to accomplish this!
The three Blood Warriors hadnβt said anything openly, but each of them was secretly speculating about what Meng Wu Yaβs origins were; however, they were no closer to the truth now than when they had first met him.
Seeing Yang Kai bring him here, Ying Jiu had an inkling as to why, but as usual he didnβt show anything on his face.
The Qi Binding Seal he had been hit with was something the Yang Familyβs Grand Elder Huang Jiu Zhou had set up personally. Even if Meng Wu Ya was an extraordinary master, it was still likely that nothing could be done about it.
After all, Huang Jiu Zhou was a true Above Immortal Ascension Boundary master while Meng Wu Ya was just a Peak Immortal Ascension cultivator; there was still a significant gap between them.
βTreasurer Meng.β Yang Kai greeted lightly, Meng Wu Ya nodding in turn before turning his eyes to Ying Jiu with a suspicious look, letting out a tired sigh soon after.
βA seal?β Meng Wu Ya grinned as he stared at Ying Jiu.
Ying Jiu remained stoic in response.
βTreasurer Meng, do you have any way to lift the seal placed on him?β Yang Kai sat down casually and poured himself a glass of water to moisten his throat.
βLet me have a look.β Meng Wu Ya didnβt affirm or deny anything, beckoning to Ying Jiu, βCome here!β
Ying Jiu glanced at Yang Kai and upon receiving a nod, he stepped towards Meng Wu Ya.
Seeing him look somewhat unhappy, Meng Wu Ya couldnβt help chuckling, βRelax kid. I know you have some ability, but right now youβre no better than a cripple. What use is there in you being wary of this old master?β
As he spoke, he reached out and held Ying Jiuβs wrist.
The room fell silent for a while. Yang Kai put the cup in his hand to his lips but barely drank as he waited nervously; he wasnβt sure Meng Wu Ya would be able to help.
Ying Jiuβs expression was also light, seemingly not having much expectation of Meng Wu Ya.
βHeh heh,β Meng Wu Ya scoffed twice a few breaths later, βNot bad. The one who created this has some attainments in sealing techniques.β
Ying Jiu quickly shot back, βNaturally, this is my Yang Family Grand Elder Huang Jiu Zhouβs skill!β
βI donβt care what Zhou he is.β Meng Wu Ya spat disdainfully, βThis old master has never heard of him.β
Ying Jiu wanted to say a few words in response to this slight but Yang Kai reached out and stopped him promptly.
Ying Jiu, who was always silent, suddenly arguing so combatively was apparently because he extremely admired Huang Jiu Zhou and refused to accept others looking down on him.
After all, Huang Jiu Zhou was the only Blood Warrior in several generations who had been promoted to the position of Grand Elder. All the Blood Warriors took him as their role model and goal to surpass.
Meng Wu Ya had indeed praised Huang Jiu Zhouβs standard of sealing technique, but in Ying Jiuβs opinion, it sounded more like this old guy simply disdained them. What qualifications does a mere Peak Immortal Ascension have to comment on an Above Immortal Ascension Boundary master?
βTreasurer Meng, can you help?β Yang Kai leaned forward and asked anxiously.
βEn.β Meng Wu Ya replied casually.
Ying Jiuβs eyes narrowed, staring towards Meng Wu Ya with a half shocked, half suspicious expression, seemingly not having expected such a response.
Yang Kai secretly felt relieved. Although he didnβt know what kind of magical means Meng Wu Ya had, Treasurer Meng had always given him a profound and mysterious impression. Yang Kai had met a fair number of Above Immortal Ascension Boundary masters such as Lu Si, Yang Ying Hao, as well as several of the Yang Familyβs Grand Elders.
But none of them gave him anything close to the pressure he felt from Meng Wu Ya.
Somehow, on a near subconscious level, Yang Kai always felt that Old Man Meng was somewhat unfathomable, perhaps even more terrifying than an Above Immortal Ascension Boundary master.
Receiving this answer, Yang Kaiβs heart calmed down immediately. Since Treasurer Meng said he could help, it meant that there was no need to ask any further.
βCan you really break this?β Ying Jiu asked, still somewhat unable to believe what he was hearing, even thinking Meng Wu Ya was just talking irresponsibly.
In response, Meng Wu Ya simply glanced at him and nodded.
βHow long?β Ying Jiu asked again.
It wasnβt like he couldnβt lift the Qi Binding Seal himself, but it would take him at least two months of concentrated effort to do so.
If Meng Wu Yaβs method took just as long, it would be better for him to simply handle the matter himself.
Ying Jiu didnβt like the arrogant attitude of this old guy who didnβt put Huang Jiu Zhou in his eyes so he naturally didnβt want to ask him for help if it wasnβt necessary.
In response, Meng Wu Ya raised two fingers.
Yang Kai raised his brow and smiled lightly, βIs that two months or twenty days?β
Having said that, Yang Kai was hoping very much for it to be the latter. In his opinion, it was reasonable for Meng Wu Ya to use twenty days to relieve the Qi Binding Seal.
Ying Jiu also looked suspiciously at Meng Wu Ya, curious about how he would answer.
βTwo days!β Meng Wu Ya said offhandedly.
Yang Kai and Ying Jiu both froze, a dumbstruck look appearing on their faces.
Yang Kai suddenly discovered that he had still been underestimating Meng Wu Yaβs ability; Treasurer Meng was definitely not as simple as he had thought.
βSeniorβ¦β Ying Jiu took a deep breath, his expression somewhat awkward, βItβs not that this Ying Jiu is doubting you but isnβt that a bitβ¦β
βArrogant?β Meng Wu Ya snorted unhappily, βIf this seal was planted on this old master, I could break it with a snap of my fingers, but since itβs been placed on you, itβll take two days. Actually, this old master has done quite a bit of research into the field of sealing techniques, this little trick is nothing much.β
Little trickβ¦
Yang Kai quickly noted that Ying Jiuβs always stoic face was twitching slightly and couldnβt help feeling the urge to laugh, but he firmly suppressed such desires in his heart. He lightly coughed and followed up, βTreasurer Meng, are you absolutely sureβ¦β
βIf you brats donβt even want to try, this old master has no extra time to speak nonsense with you. The door is just there.β Meng Wu Ya snorted and narrowed his eyes at Ying Jiu, βWith your skills, itβll take you two months or so to break this seal. Well, work hard.β
Ying Jiu brow twitched once more.
After carefully examining the Qi Binding Seal placed on him, two months was Ying Jiuβs estimate of how long it would take to break it, yet Meng Wu Ya had been able to determine this with a mere glance. This masterβs eyesight was very sharp.
Furrowing his brow, Ying Jiu solemnly cupped his fists and said, βJunior Ying Jiu requests Seniorβs assistance. Earlier on, Junior acted impolitely and hopes Seniors will not take offence.β
In any case, it was just two trivial days, after those two days passed everything would be clear.
Ying Jiu was also quite curious if this Meng Wu Ya was really as powerful as he claimed to be.
βTreasurer Meng, Iβll leave this to youβ¦β Yang Kai looked at Meng Wu Ya and grinned.
Old Man Meng waved his hand impatiently in response, βFine, just go, heβll see you in two days.β
Yang Kai nodded with satisfaction,. He reminded Ying Jiu to cooperate and then turned to leave.
When he returned to the room next door, Xia Ning Chang had already disappeared, probably having returned to the Pill Room.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Yang Kai took something from his sleeve.
It was a long strand of hair!
Today at Po Jing Lake when he struck the mysterious master who grabbed the eighth Mysterious Grade artifact this had been left behind.
But who would have thought that this mysterious master who could appear and disappear like a ghost was actually a woman!
Thinking about it, in one day he had confronted this person twice but Yang Kai still hadnβt even seen her face, making him feel a little depressed.
This womanβs speed was simply too fast and her concealment methods were extremely profound. In front of everyone at Po Jing Lake, she managed to snatch the eighth Mysterious Grade artifact before anyone even noticed her. Yang Kai really didnβt know how she did it, especially knowing she had to withstand the sealed attack in the artifact as well as Huang Jiu Zhouβs Qi Binding Seal.
Liu Qing Yao only managed to escape the Qi Binding Seal by sacrificing a Mysterious Grade artifact, but what about this woman?
What made Yang Kai even more concerned was who this woman was working for. Yang Wei, Yang Zhao, Yang Kang, Yang Shen, and Yang Yingβs expression were all filled with suspicion and confusion, seemingly ignorant of this womanβs identity, but he couldnβt rule out the possibility that one of them was just acting.
After thinking about it for a long time yet still not discovering any clues, Yang Kai could only set this matter aside for now.
In front of him right now were three artifacts; these were Yang Kaiβs biggest gains today.
Although his allies had managed to snatch over two hundred artifacts, all of those together didnβt add up to the value of these three before him.
The first one was a palm sized sword that gave off a cold aura; it was the Heaven Grade Soul type artifact.
After examining it carefully, Yang Kai couldnβt have been happier to discover that this Soul type artifact was actually Heaven Grade Top-Rank!
Soul type artifacts were inherently more expensive and harder to refine than other artifacts.
This Heaven Grade Top-Rank Soul type artifact was worth no less than an ordinary Mysterious Grade artifact.
However, it would be difficult for Yang Kai to refine this Soul type artifact, especially since he had yet to open his Knowledge Sea. After fiddling with it for a while, Yang Kai put it down and began examining the other two.
One of the two artifacts was the mirror he had first obtained. This mirror also gave off a cold air, but this aura was different from the one the Soul type artifact radiated. The cold aura from the small sword was a piercing one that affected oneβs Soul while this mirror gave off a profound frigidness that seemed to want to encase the world in ice.
Filling the mirror with his True Qi, the surface of flashed and Yang Kai suddenly witnessed a bizarre scene.
Through the mirror, he saw a magnificent snow-capped mountain. Around this mountain were innumerable fluttering snowflakes that seemed to swirl through the sky on the cold whistling wind, creating a pure white paradise as far as the eye could.
*Ka-chaβ¦*
The temperature of the whole mansion suddenly dropped and a wave of cold quickly spread out, causing Yang Kai to instinctively use his True Yang Yuan Qi to resist.
[Mysterious Grade Mid-Rank artifact!]
When Yang Kai realized this fact, he couldnβt help showing a look of shock!
He didnβt know anything about the other seven Mysterious Grade artifacts, but he was certain that out of all of them only one or two of them would be Mid-Rank. The mirror he had snatched first turned out to be a Mysterious Grade Mid-Rank!
A Mysterious Grade Mid-Rank artifact was worth at least ten Mysterious Grade Low-Rank artifacts!
This time he had really won big!
Yang Kai took a moment to calm himself before withdrawing his True Qi. Without the constant stream of True Qi, the mirror quickly lost its radiance and the endless snowy mountain scene was once again hidden from sight.
Before he completely refined it, Yang Kai wouldnβt know what effects this mirror possessed.
Putting the mirror down, Yang Kai looked at the last artifact.
This was the one that Liu Qing Yao threw to him.
A bone shield!
