A smile broke out on Qin Wentian's face as he stared at Fan Le's strength. Experts who were proficient in archery were all exceedingly proficient in offense. Not only was Fan Le's cultivation base at the fifth level of Yuanfu, he also possessed the bloodline of the Empyrean Flames, and had comprehended three different types of Mandates.
Fan Le's 3 Astral Souls were: Archer Astral Soul, Devil Face Astral Soul, and Flame Astral Soul.
The three types of Mandates he had comprehended were naturally derived from his Astral Souls. The Mandate of Arrow, Instant Kill; the Mandate of Flame, Ignition; and the Mandate of Spirit, Control. The Mandate of Spirit was the most marvelous, it was an extremely rare Mandate that was extremely difficult to comprehend. It originated from Fan Le's 2nd Astral Soul. His Mandate of Instant Kill and Mandate of Flame had already reached the Advanced Boundary, but his Mandate of Spirit was still at the Initial Boundary.
Moreover, as far as Qin Wentian knew, the first realm of spiritual will was control. But in the future, this kind of willpower was ever-changing and could derive very terrifying abilities.
Just like Fatty's catchphrase, Fatty was a genius. His Will of Flame was exceptionally strong because his bloodline was also the power of flame.
It was easy to imagine just how powerful these three abilities were when complemented by the bow and arrow. Three experts of the same realm were killed by the arrows without any ability to resist.
As for the second son of King Yi, the instant he was locked onto by Fan Le's arrow, he could already feel the aura of death looming over him. The smile on Fan Le's face was that of a devil.
Ye Xi's mouth gaped open. That wretched fatty is so formidable?
She glanced at Qin Wentian beside her as she whispered, "Brother Wentian, Fan Le …"
"Don't worry, we're here." Qin Wentian said softly. Looking at Qin Wentian's clear eyes, Ye Xi smiled and nodded, "Okay."
"I'm Ye Cheng of King Yi's Residence. Think about what you're doing." The young man stared at Fan Le as he spoke. Although Fan Le's arrow was aimed at him, he didn't believe that Fan Le would dare to kill him.
"Little Prince, you scared me to death." Fan Le's body trembled involuntarily. Coupled with the rich expressions on his face, his actions caused many in the crowd to perspire. This fatty was truly amusing.
"Fatty is courting death today. What a pity, you won't be able to see it." Fan Le's gaze abruptly turned cold as a light flashed past his eyes.
"Second Young Master, be careful." Someone at the side roared. However, it was too late. The speed of the flaming arrow was extremely fast. A soft sound rang out, and Ye Cheng didn't even have time to defend. The arrow pierced through his forehead, instantly killing him.
Ye Cheng's eyes were wide open. He died with everlasting regret, as if he couldn't believe what had just happened. That unremarkable fatty really didn't hesitate to shoot him to death.
Such a decisive killing intent caused the hearts of the princes to skip a beat.
Together with Qin Wentian, Fan Le had experienced a terrifying storm in Chu. He had personally witnessed the tyranny of the Nine Mystical Palace, the tyranny of Chu Tianjiao, the destruction of the Emperor Star Academy, and after that, he had followed Qin Wentian to the Moon Continent. He was no longer the young fatty whom Qin Wentian had met in the Dark Forest.
Under that fat body was a firm and cold heart. He would not show any mercy to those who wanted to kill him.
Fatty was very vengeful.
"BOOM!" A terrifying aura abruptly erupted forth. Ye Cheng's Astral Protector Souls were unleashed as their killing intent gushed forth. Their silhouettes flickered as they lunged towards Fan Le.
However, at this moment, a terrifying pressure locked onto them. The burly young man who had yet to make a move suddenly took out a similarly resplendent arrow, yet the pressure he exuded was even more terrifying.
Bzzz …
Nine arrows pierced through the air. His Mandate of Archery had already reached the Transformation Boundary.
Chi, chi, chi!
Crisp sounds rang out as the silhouettes of the guards fell one after another. In an instant, only one person remained. He stood in the air, his body trembling uncontrollably. An incomparably intense terror could be seen in his eyes. Who were these people?
Among the guards of Ye Cheng, the strongest was only at the seventh level of Yuanfu.
Chu Mang was also at the seventh level of Yuanfu, but his combat prowess wasn't something these guards could compare to. With an eight-fold instant-speed attack, Chu Mang directly suppressed his opponent.
"How weak." Fan Le spoke with disdain. "Big Bro Chu Mang, this guy is already so frightened, why don't you just let him go?"
"Mhm." Chu Mang nodded his head as the arrows vanished into thin air.
However at this moment, the hearts of the spectators couldn't remain calm. The three princes stared at Chu Mang. This man had a cultivation base at the seventh level of Yuanfu, and his Mandate had already reached the Transformation Boundary. He could easily kill seventh level Yuanfu cultivators with ease.
This meant that if Chu Mang wanted to kill them, he would definitely be able to do so.
"Those who still want us to scram, speak up." Chu Mang stared at the people in front of him as he coldly spoke. The people in front of him were as silent as cicadas in winter, not a single one dared to speak.
This time around, the majority of those who came here had a cultivation base at the middle third level of Yuanfu. There were four at the seventh level, and only one at the eighth level.
After all, the three princes were only here to comprehend the Gazing-Dragon Mountain Rampart. How could they have imagined that they would encounter such a situation in the territory of Qiyun?
Not only that, the three of them were extremely outstanding.
They couldn't be sure of Chu Mang's combat prowess. But based on the fact that he could instantly kill a seventh level Yuanfu cultivator, he might even be able to fight against an eighth level Yuanfu cultivator. If both sides were to engage in a battle, the best case scenario would be that the royal clan would be able to take down the three of them, but they would also suffer heavy losses.
Not only that, if Chu Mang was determined to kill one of the princes, they didn't know if they would be able to stop him.
"You guys don't seem to be from Qiyun, right? Where are you from?" One of the princes standing beside Ye Xi's father asked. His countenance was calm, without the slightest hint of anger. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"There's no need for you to know."
Qin Wentian indifferently replied. "There are many seats here, if you want to cultivate, feel free to do so. If you want to fight, feel free to do so as well."
That prince turned his gaze onto Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian was about the same age as Fan Le, younger than Chu Mang. The three of them seemed to be friends, but he couldn't tell who was the leader. But the strongest among them should be none other than Chu Mang.
"You guys killed the son of King Yi. Regardless of whether I pursue this matter or not, I'm afraid King Yi would never forgive you. Have you considered the consequences?" That prince calmly continued.
Ye Xi furrowed her brows. There were many experts in King Yi's Manor, and the strongest among them was at the eighth level of Yuanfu. King Yi himself was also at the eighth level of Yuanfu. Although Chu Mang was powerful, if King Yi were to kill him …
"I can see that the talent of the three of you is extraordinary. Are you interested in becoming a guest elder of my manor?"
The prince continued, wanting to rope in Qin Wentian and the other two. As long as Qin Wentian and the rest agreed, he would help Qin Wentian and the other two to deal with King Yi.
Many in the crowd felt their hearts trembling. It was said that the second prince cherished geniuses, and indeed, it was true. These people had killed the son of King Yi, and if the second prince wanted to protect them, he would undoubtedly form a grudge with King Yi.
An expression of astonishment appeared on Fan Le's face. Becoming a guest elder? Guard? Fan Le mocked, "You really overestimate yourself."
Qin Wentian directly ignored him. He turned to Ye Xi's father, "Uncle Ye, I wish to ask you a few questions on behalf of Ye Xi. Would you be willing to come over for a chat?"
Ye Zheng's eyes flickered when he heard Qin Wentian's words. After which, he glanced at the second prince beside him, only to hear the second prince laughing, "Uncle Ye, you can go ahead."
Ye Zheng nodded his head as he walked towards the stone platform where Qin Wentian was seated.
"Father." Ye Xi called out. Ye Zheng glanced at Ye Xi, before shifting his gaze onto Qin Wentian. He didn't know where his daughter got acquainted with such powerful young geniuses.
"Uncle Ye, take a seat." Qin Wentian smiled. After which, he took out a crystal pearl and infused his Astral Energy into it. Instantly, a layer of water droplets enveloped the crowd, isolating them from the outside world.
This was a treasure Qin Wentian had obtained after killing the Divine Inscriptionists that day. It had a certain level of defensive properties, and could even isolate sound.
"Uncle Ye, our conversation can't be heard from the outside." Qin Wentian smiled, "I've heard Ye Xi speak about Aunt Ye before. No matter what, Uncle Ye is still a King, yet the elder brother of a princess dared to do such a thing. Don't you find it strange?"
Both he and Fan Le had their suspicions. Ye Zheng's cultivation base was at the seventh level of Yuanfu, and he should be able to sense that there was something fishy going on.
"I'm not someone from Qiyun. I came here by chance and have been acquainted with Ye Xi for a very long time. I've always treated her like a younger sister. Uncle Ye, feel free to speak your mind, I might be able to help you out a little," Qin Wentian replied.
Ye Xi also looked at her father. Yesterday, Qin Wentian and Fan Le had spoken to her in detail about this matter. She also wanted to know if her father knew anything.
"Father." Ye Xi called out, causing Ye Zheng to sigh, "I also knew that there was something fishy about this matter. That's why I've been by the side of the second prince all these years, wanting to find out if King Yi was involved. In the end, I only managed to find some clues that caused me to despair."
"The second prince was involved?" Qin Wentian asked, his words causing Ye Zheng's eyes to flicker with a strange light. He silently mused at how intelligent this person was.
"Yes, there's a high possibility that the second prince was the mastermind." Ye Zheng nodded, his eyes flashing with pain.
"Why?" Ye Xi paled. Her clan had never had any grudges with the second prince.
"Because of the Gazing-Dragon Mountain Rampart." Qin Wentian stared at Ye Zheng as he asked. He had heard from Ye Xi that the Princes were comprehending the Gazing-Dragon Mountain Rampart. In Qiyun, this was an extremely important matter, as it would determine their status. And as for Ye Zheng, he had already comprehended the Gazing-Dragon Mountain Rampart for many years.
"Yes, he had long hinted to me that he wanted me to assist him. However, my heart wasn't interested in power and authority, so I didn't agree. Who would have thought that he would use such a method to keep me by his side, forcing me to comprehend the Gazing-Dragon Mountain Rampart every year. I have to share my insights with him so that he would be able to surpass the other two princes." Ye Zheng clenched his fists as he spoke.
"Why do you still want to teach him?" Ye Xi didn't understand.
"For the sake of revenge, and also for your sake." Ye Zheng stared at Ye Xi. "Xi`er, as your father, I'm already riding a tiger, and there's no way for me to back down. The second prince has always been on guard against me, and I don't even have a chance to act against him. What would you do if I dared to disobey him?"
Qin Wentian nodded his head. The reason why he could guess so much was because he had always known that there were people following Ye Xi.
In the past, he thought that it was Ye Xi's clan protecting her, hence he didn't pay much attention to it. But after learning of Ye Xi's story yesterday, he immediately understood that it wasn't protection, but surveillance!
"Don't worry, Uncle Ye. Big Bro Chu Mang intentionally let one of them go because he wanted him to inform King Yi. Today's matter will definitely be settled!" Qin Wentian calmly stated, his words causing Ye Zheng's eyes to narrow. The reason why he told Qin Wentian so much was because he wanted Qin Wentian to bring Ye Xi away from this troublesome place. Only then would he be able to act without any qualms.
However, Qin Wentian actually said that today, this matter would be settled!
