The shorter man shuddered and exclaimed, "Y-you're Lord Wei Qing!"
The taller man also came to his senses. He found this person very familiar but couldn't remember who he was at first. Now that he was reminded, his mind cleared up. This person was Wei Qing of the Sacred Realm!
"Greetings, Lord Wei Qing!"
The two bowed in unison with great respect.
"Xiang Liang of the Xiang Clan and Mi Cheng of the Calm Water Manor. Long time no see. How nostalgic."
Wei Qing revealed their identities with an indifferent expression. He didn't look nostalgic at all.
The two knew he was just being polite and hurriedly said, "Same here. Lord Wei Qing is still as elegant as ever."
Wei Qing's eyes flashed as he reminisced, "After the Heaven and Earth Ranking battle, the two of you disappeared. You must've gone into seclusion to cultivate. Now that you've reappeared on the continent, your strength is indeed extraordinary. "
The two of them quickly became modest and said, "Sir, you must be joking. You're flattering us."
Wei Qing smiled. "I see that the two of you are only a step away from transcending mortality and entering sainthood. There's a high chance you'll break through during this trip to Nephrite Heaven."
"Thank you for your kind words, Lord."
The two were delighted. Being stuck at the pinnacle of martial arts was the biggest knot in their hearts and the reason they came to Nephrite Heaven.
The taller man was Xiang Liang. He asked tentatively, "Lord, the Jade Repository should be up ahead, right? What are you doing here?"
"You're going to the Jade Repository?"
Xiang Liang hurriedly said, "Since we're here, of course we have to go take a look."
Wei Qing sighed and shook his head. "That's too bad. I'm planning to take the Jade Library into my pocket and am setting up the formation. The two of you are late, please go somewhere else to play."
"Ah? Take it?! "
Both of them were shocked and looked at each other.
The Jade Library was famous in Nephrite Heaven. It was a place that attracted countless geniuses to enter Nephrite Heaven. Wei Qing actually wanted to take it away?
Both of them had strange expressions on their faces as they wondered if the Jade Library Pavilion would accept them. If it could, why hadn't anyone succeeded in the past tens of thousands of years?
Mi Cheng said, "This … this won't be easy, will it?"
Wei Qing said, "The odds are fifty-fifty. If you fail, it's not too late for you to go in."
"Half?!"
The two of them were shocked once again. A 50% chance of winning was already very high.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. The two of them stood there, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
Since they were already here, how could they be willing to turn back just like that? However, if they were to enter … Putting aside the other party's status, just their strength alone was not something they could contend against. Moreover, the people around them were not to be trifled with.
Wei Qing had long seen through their thoughts. He smiled and said, "You two don't have to feel troubled. I'm taking this Jade Library for the benefit of the world."
Xiang Liang said in shock, "Could it be … that you're willing to open it to the world after you collect it?"
Wei Qing laughed and said, "The divine ability secret manuals inside the Jade Library are mostly high-grade martial arts. How can anyone have the qualifications to learn them? Have the two of you heard the news of the reopening of the Heaven and Earth Reputation List? "
The two's expressions changed slightly, and they hesitated for a moment. Mi Cheng pondered and said, "I've heard of it, but I can't tell if it's true or not. Since Lord Wei Qing said it, then it must be true?"
Wei Qing nodded and said, "It's naturally true. At that time, the people on the list will have the right to enter and choose their divine ability manuals. "
"People on the list!"
The two's expressions became somewhat ugly. Putting aside whether it was worth it to enter the Jade Library to participate in the Heaven and Earth Wind Cloud List, even if they participated, wanting to enter the top ten was harder than ascending to heaven.
The last Wind Cloud List martial contest, the two of them had participated too. Furthermore, their rankings were extremely high.
But the powerhouses that participated back then were not many. Firstly, there were no benefits. There was only a title title, it was very hard to attract powerhouses. Secondly, the various sect leaders cared about their status and face and rarely participated.
If this time, with the Jade Library as the bait, and supplemented with other rewards, the competition would probably be abnormally intense. The top ten rankings practically didn't need to be thought about.
Wei Qing saw through the two's thoughts and smiled faintly, saying, "If I didn't remember wrongly, the two of you were ranked seventeenth and eighteenth last time. But with the two of your current cultivation, entering the top ten is also extremely possible. And this time, the Jade Library's qualifications will be set at the top hundred. As for the super powerhouses in the top ten, there will be other heavy rewards. "
"Top hundred?!"
Xiang Liang said in shock, "The list's quota is so broad? I'm afraid that the martial artists that come will be a mix of good and bad. After all, with the Jade Library as bait, everyone will want to come and try their luck. "
Wei Qing said, "Luck is also a part of strength."
The two of them were silent, but their minds were racing. They knew that the Sanctuary would definitely not be so generous to make the Jade Library public for no reason. Furthermore, with such a large-scale martial contest, they most likely had some ulterior motives.
It was just that the Jade Library's attraction was too great. If it was the top hundred, they might really participate.
But at this moment, they still hoped that Wei Qing failed to collect it. That way, they wouldn't have to participate in the Wind Cloud List competition and be controlled by the Sanctuary.
After a while, a few more figures flew over. They wanted to enter the Jade Library, but were blocked by the light of the Ten Ominous Flags. They couldn't enter at all.
"What's going on?"
Those few people exclaimed in shock. Then, they glared angrily and shouted, "What the hell are you all doing? Why did you seal the Jade Library?"
Without waiting for Wei Qing to reply, Li Yi shouted, "This place has already been marked as a forbidden area. Everyone, leave immediately. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"
"What kind of f * cking joke is this? The Jade Library has been turned into a forbidden area by you all? F * ck! "
All kinds of curses were instantly heard. However, those people could also see that Wei Qing and the others were not ordinary. They only cursed from afar and didn't dare to go forward.
Li Yi was furious. He picked up his sword and was about to go forward to kill.
Wei Qing's expression changed. He stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "There's no need for you to do anything. He's here."
Suddenly, a ferocious beast's roar shook the sky. Then, a strange laughter could be heard. A terrifying white light flashed through the crowd and sliced the sky into several pieces!
"Ah!"
All kinds of screams could be heard. Most of those people were sliced into several pieces. Blood and broken limbs were everywhere.
Those who were lucky enough to survive were so scared that they turned into light and fled. They didn't even know what was going on. The only thing they knew was that an incredible expert had arrived. He killed them like ants!
These people weren't stupid. When they realized that the situation wasn't right, they immediately fled. However, a terrifying pressure came from the sky. The entire space was rapidly compressed. Then, a blade light swept past like a hurricane. Countless screams could be heard. Not a single person was left alive.
Broken limbs fell from the sky like rain. The air was filled with the thick smell of blood.
The entire world was deathly silent. At the place where the martial artists were standing, a man in purple stood. He was carrying a giant Ghost Carp Cutter. Beside him was a furry beast. The demonic energy on its body was boiling, almost condensing into flames.
Xiang Liang and Mi Cheng trembled. They looked at Yao Jinliang in fear and cried out, "Divine Command Emperor Wu!" The two of them clenched their fists at the same time.
"He killed so many people the moment he arrived. It's too bloody."
Wei Qing was quite dissatisfied. He frowned. After all, the Sanctuary was the leader of the world. They had to be righteous and not evil. Even if they wanted to kill, they had to have a reason.
"Hehe, these people's chatter is making me irritated. They're not in a good mood the moment they arrived. How can they not kill? "
Yao Jinliang chuckled. He put away the Ghost Carp Cutter and walked over with the Burial Cloud Beast.
Xiang Liang and Mi Cheng hurriedly retreated in fear. They were afraid that this demon would suddenly attack and kill for no reason.
"Keke, Xiang Liang, Mi Cheng, I didn't expect the two of you to be here. Did Wei Qing invite you out of seclusion?"
Yao Jinliang looked at the two of them. He licked his lips and chuckled.
Mi Cheng's face paled. He quickly cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Lord Divine Command. The two of us were just passing by and wanted to go to the Jade Library. Since this place has been turned into a forbidden land, the two of us will go somewhere else to try our luck. We won't disturb the Lords from their business. We'll take our leave now. "
Wei Qing did not stop them. He waved his hand and said, "Then do as you please. However, I will send you an invitation. I hope I can see the two of you at the Honor List."
The two of them were shocked. But when they saw Wei Qing's clear eyes, they could not help but feel a chill. They hurriedly answered, "Of course, of course!"
After that, they did not dare to stay any longer. They turned into light and flew away.
Yao Jinliang watched the two of them disappear into the horizon. He then said, "Those two are quite strong. They have improved a lot these years."
Wei Qing said, "If I didn't want to recruit them, I wouldn't have wasted so much time talking. Why did you come so late? The opening of Nephrite Heaven this time is not simple. After taking the Jade Library, we still have other business to attend to. "
Yao Jinliang chuckled and said, "I was indeed delayed." This time, he turned around and cupped his fists at Wei Wuya. He said respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Wuya."
Wei Wuya waved his hand as a greeting. "Wei Qing is in charge. I'm just a follower."
Yao Jinliang retracted his gaze and swept it over Luo Qingyun. His pupils constricted and emitted a cold intent. He snorted and said, "Who is this brat? He looks like he's going to explode the heavens. It's irritating to look at him."
Li Yi and Luo Qingyun stood together. When Yao Jinliang's gaze swept over them, they bowed and smiled obsequiously.
Luo Qingyun, on the other hand, stood with his hands behind his back. His expression was neither haughty nor humble, which made Yao Jinliang rather unhappy.
"Hehe, he's always like this. He's always arrogant and looks down on everyone." Li Yi saw that Yao Jinliang was up to no good. He was overjoyed and hurriedly tried to sow discord.
"Oh? He doesn't put anyone in his eyes. Hehe, he's really awesome! "
Yao Jinliang's expression turned cold. He took a step toward Luo Qingyun, and a violent killing intent immediately swept out.
Luo Qingyun took two steps back and clenched his hand into a fist. A dragon's roar spun out and slapped toward the surging killing intent!
"Bang!"
A green light exploded in the center of his palm, causing the surging killing intent on Yao Jinliang's body to collapse and disappear without a trace.
"En!"
Yao Jinliang's expression sank. At the same time, he was shocked. He also knew Luo Qingyun's identity and background. "Brat, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
The Burial Cloud Beast opened its mouth and roared. Its demonic energy turned into a sharp astral wind that shot out like snowflakes.
