The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 68 - : Arriving at the Middle Ages Ruins

Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Arriving at the Middle Ages Ruins

“Haha, Brother Fu, it looks like you’ve met with some frustration,” the handsome young man said upon returning to the group, as the other two male disciples immediately burst into giggles and gathered around.

The handsome young man could only offer a bitter smile and shake his head, waving his hand and saying, “This matter is of great importance and will be a long journey ahead, so we must not rush.”

“With a status like Brother Fu’s—his granny is a great elder of the Divine Sword Sect, and his parents respectively in charge of the Punishment Sword Hall and the Northern Sword Pond—he and Sister Ye are truly a match of equal social standing.”

“Exactly, and Brother Fu’s granny is also the senior of Sister Ye’s master, so it’s only proper for their families to be joined in marriage.”

The handsome young man, known as Brother Fu, only smiled and shook his head, his gaze toward Ye Xin full of deep affection.

However, what others failed to notice was the subtle flash of malice in his eyes as he looked at Ye Xin.

His name was Fu Heng and he was the grandson of the dazzling woman who had spoken with the Sword Saint outside of the Sword Hut that day.

In truth, Fu Heng wasn’t particularly attracted to Ye Xin.

Although her appearance was indeed as breathtaking as a Heavenly Immortal, her temperament was too gentle, not the type Fu Heng fancied.

Besides, she was a few years younger than him, which made her even less compatible with his preferences.

Fu Heng preferred women who were voluptuous and fiery, the exact opposite of Ye Xin.

Nonetheless, his grandmother had indeed asked him to win over Ye Xin and to marry her.

According to what Fu Heng knew, his grandmother’s aim was for him to use a secret technique to nourish himself with Ye Xin’s exceptional talents through a process of drawing yin to supplement yang.

It was of course impossible to forcefully take action publicly, with the Sword Saint watching over.

However, if it came to the wedding night—then it would be quite easy.

Yet Fu Heng learned from his grandmother that his biggest obstacle was a youth named Lin Qian.

This Lin Qian was a childhood friend of Ye Xin and they even had a marital engagement since they were young.

And this Lin Qian was the disciple of the dying War Emperor of the Wanxiang Sect, also known as the Young Emperor.

Regarding the Young Emperor, Fu Heng knew that while physically strong, being able to confront those in the Nirvana Realm while in the Shape Origin Realm, he was unable to use the Elemental Weapon Armament and thus incapable of breaking through the Nirvana Realm.

But because the Wanxiang Sect strictly controlled the information, outsiders didn’t know more.

The strange behavior of the Wanxiang Sect in suddenly suppressing information made others in the Coastal State speculate that perhaps the War Emperor Wei Wushuang had already died, leading to their actions.

“The Sect Master War Emperor is dead, and an individual who can’t wield the Elemental Weapon Armament, even if he luckily breaks through to the Nirvana Realm, is still half-crippled. I’ll just kill him when we find the relics of the Middle Ages,” Fu Heng mused with a crooked smile, a hint of murderous intent hidden in his expression.

Fu Heng knew from his grandmother that the Sword Saint had said Lin Qian was to attend the Middle Ages relics exploration.

And only Soul Martial Artists in the Nirvana Realm could participate in these relic explorations. Since Lin Qian was coming, it could be concluded that he had broken through to the Nirvana Realm.

But since he couldn’t wield the Elemental Weapon Armament, even if he had broken through to the Nirvana Realm, in Fu Heng’s view, he was still half-crippled.

As for being physically strong enough to confront Nirvana Realm opponents while in the Shape Origin Realm?

Of the disciples from three sects and five schools present at the Middle Ages relics exploration, which one of them couldn’t do this in the Shape Origin Realm?

Suddenly, a noise came from mid-air, drawing the attention of those at the gate.

Looking up, they saw a flat-bottomed Cloud Boat, seemingly made of wood yet shimmering with a metallic luster, emerging from the misty clouds above and swooping towards the ground.

The elderly man with long whiskers and the silver-haired woman from the nearby gate both tightened their expressions at the sight of the Cloud Boat.

In Coastal State, there was originally only one Sect with a Cloud Boat, the Shengtian Sect, until the War Emperor Wei Wushuang returned home gravely poisoned and wounded, after which Sect Master Qin of the Wanxiang Sect also acquired one.

Moreover, the aura of Soul Power swirling around this Cloud Boat clearly displayed a prominent ‘Wan’ character.

As the Cloud Boat settled on the plaza, a door suddenly opened on the side of the vessel, and Qin Wushuang stepped out first; he smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, “Haha, I didn’t expect Sect Master Hai and Sect Master Mei to be one step ahead.”

“Sect Master Qin!” The white-bearded elder from the Coastal Sect and the silver-haired matron from the Divine Sword Sect both returned the gesture with a clasped-hand salute.

The white-bearded elder, known as Hai Xiaoyun, was from the same era as Qin Wushuang’s master!

The silver-haired matron was the junior apprentice sister of the female Sword Saint of the Divine Sword Sect, the current Sect Master, Mei Yuexia!

After the Sect Masters exchanged greetings, their gazes also turned to look behind Qin Wushuang.

It wasn’t just the two Sect Masters, the disciples who had come with them also looked on curiously.

Among them, Ye Xin was the most nervous.

“Is this the entrance to the Middle Ages ruins?” Six disciples descended from the Cloud Boat behind Qin Wushuang, clad in robes embroidered with the character for ten thousand, with the one at the forefront asking the question.

“That’s right, once that portal is opened, we’ll be able to enter the ruins,” Qin Wushuang replied to Lin Qian, who was walking at the forefront, with a smile and a nod.

Trailing close behind, Lei Qian and the other four disciples, excluding Ding Zhirong, looked around curiously.

“How come you don’t seem the least bit curious?” Zhao Haiming, noting Ding Zhirong’s demeanor, was very curious.

Ding Zhirong sneered and said, “I had already been exposed to this kind of sight when I undertook missions from the Sect and went out for training.”

“So what if you’ve seen it before? What’s with the sneer?”

“None of your damn business. Want to fight about it?”

Seeing that the two seemed ready to come to blows, Lin Qian stepped in and pushed the two apart, “Others are watching. What does it look like, having an internal conflict like this? It just gives others cause for ridicule.”

After Lin Qian’s words, both Ding Zhirong and Zhao Haiming turned their heads away.

Having stored the Cloud Boat, Qin Wushuang, who had walked over, also let out a wry smile, “These two kids, they really can’t stay out of trouble.”

Upon witnessing this scene, Hai Xiaoyun remained expressionless, but he turned to a young man with a ponytail beside him and asked, “Yang Guangen, what do you make of it?”

The young man named Yang Guangen, with a solemn expression, silently nodded, “Zhao Haiming, the strongest among the inner-gate disciples of the Wanxiang Sect, and Ding Zhirong, who has made a name for himself, seem to hold that young man in high respect.”

“A sixteen or seventeen-year-old at the first layer of the Nirvana Realm, I am afraid he is that Young Emperor, Lin Qian.”

“It seems that this Lin Qian is not simple.”

After hearing Yang Guangen’s remarks, Hai Xiaoyun silently nodded, “After we enter the ruins, take your junior brothers and sisters and prioritize the trials. It’s best to avoid conflicts with any party, especially this Lin Qian.”

“Little Qian…”

Suddenly, a tentative call came from behind Lin Qian, who had just pushed Ding Zhirong and Zhao Haiming aside.

Lin Qian turned around, only to see a figure that had filled his dreams.

The girl’s cheeks were flushed as she looked at him nervously, as if unsure of something.

Her white dress complemented her graceful demeanor, and with her long black hair cascading down her back, she appeared as an angel descended from heaven, truly a beauty that could overthrow states.

Lin Qian took a few steps forward, and under everyone’s watchful eyes, he confidently opened his arms wide and hummed, “Hmm?”

Familiar actions, a familiar face, and a familiar tone left Ye Xin both surprised and bashful, her entire face reddening.

Nevertheless, Ye Xin still threw herself into his arms, allowing Lin Qian to embrace her.

This beautifully tender moment, Lin Qian remembered, would deliver an unparalleled critical hit to a creature from his past life. That creature was…

A single dog!
