CHAPTER 535 CHAPTER 535
Dragon Guard
"Oh? Tell me about it. "
Ning Yue raised his eyebrows and said without batting an eyelid.
"I can tell you, but you have to swear a heavenly oath. Once I tell you the reason, you have to let me go," Old Crane said calmly, appearing to have a card up his sleeve.
"Humph! As long as you can hold on for another three minutes, you'll be in for a treat. "
Old Crane thought that he had found Ning Yue's weakness. Wouldn't delaying him for three to four minutes be a piece of cake?
The tremor in the void earlier meant that the imperial palace was going to send someone over. Furthermore, the person they were going to send over had a high cultivation. At the very least, he would be at the peak late-stage Yin-Yang Realm.
Now that Ning Yue and the others were like arrows at the end of their flight, Old He believed that a Peak Late-stage Yin-Yang martial artist could easily kill Ning Yue and the others!
"You want me to make a Heavenly Law Oath?"
Ning Yue was dumbfounded by Old Crane's words.
Since when could prisoners be so arrogant?
She actually wanted him to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao. Had she lost her mind?
"I've already saved Lu Wei's parents. If I ask them, I'll naturally know why Your Majesty wants to capture Lu Wei." Ning Yue shrugged and said indifferently, "Fine, I was thinking of sparing your life. Since you're courting death, then don't blame me."
Immediately, Ning Yue turned around and said to the Alchemist Hall Master, "Cripple his Knowledge Sea first, then we'll decide what to do next."
"Understood." The Hall Master Alchemist understood and immediately sent a wisp of his soul force into Old He's Sea of Knowledge.
"Ning Yue, you can't do this!"
Old Crane's eyes were filled with fear when he sensed a rather strong soul force entering his sea of consciousness. He hurriedly said, "You are openly opposing the royal family by doing this. His Majesty will not let you go."
"Whether or not the Emperor will let me go, I don't know, but I know very well that I won't let you go now." Ning Yue's tone was cold, and he said to the Alchemist Hall Master, "What are you waiting for?!"
Ning Yue's cold words caused the Alchemist Hall Master to shiver uncontrollably.
In the next moment, the eyes of the Alchemist Hall Master turned cold as he controlled the strand of soul power in Elder He's sea of consciousness to wreak havoc.
"Ah! Ah! Ning Yue … you will die a horrible death! "
The heart-wrenching pain in his sea of consciousness made Old He squeal like a pig being slaughtered.
Elder He's screams were filled with despair.
Although he was a martial artist at the peak of Yin-Yang Realm, the destruction of his sea of consciousness meant that his life was over.
Unless there was a Peak Ninth-Grade Pill Refiner who personally took action, coupled with a Peak Ninth-Grade Pill Refiner, there was only a glimmer of hope to heal his Sea of Consciousness.
In the massive Great Xia Kingdom, an eighth-grade Alchemist was already a rare existence. A peak-stage ninth-grade Alchemist? Not a single one!
Therefore, the despair in Old Crane's eyes was understandable.
"Xun Jianwen!"
Ning Yue nodded when he saw that old Crane's sea of consciousness had been destroyed. He asked in a deep voice, "How confident are you in subduing old Crane now?"
"I'm 100% confident."
Xun Jianwen did not dare to be negligent.
It was a piece of cake for Xun Jianwen to subdue a cripple whose sea of consciousness had been destroyed.
"Then why are you telling me that you can't subdue him when I asked you earlier?"
Ning Yue looked displeased.
If he knew that he could subdue Old Crane by destroying his sea of consciousness, he would not have wasted so much time.
"I thought you wanted to preserve his combat strength," Xun Jianwen mumbled.
In Xun Jianwen's opinion, subduing a cripple was useless. It would only be a waste of Origin Crystals.
"What are you mumbling about? Hurry up and do it!" Ning Yue said coldly.
"Yes, yes."
Xun Jianwen quickly gathered his thoughts and waved his sleeve. He immediately wrapped Old He up and put him into the Storage Ring.
After Xun Jianwen and the others disappeared, Ning Yue thought for a moment and said, "The rest of you go into the Storage Ring too. Leng Yan stays behind. I have something to ask him."
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The Hall Master of the Alchemy Division and the others followed closely behind Xun Jianwen and entered the Storage Ring.
At this moment, only Ning Yue and Leng Yan were left in the originally bustling secret chamber.
"Leng Yan, what's the cultivation base of the martial artists sent by the Imperial Palace to contact you?" Ning Yue asked with a frown.
"Generally speaking, their cultivation bases are around the early-stage Yin-Yang Realm, but we can't rule out … Oh no!" Leng Yan said after pondering for a moment.
However, Leng Yan's expression changed drastically before he could finish his sentence.
"Oh no! The martial artists sent by the Imperial Palace have reached the first line of defense!"
"What's their cultivation base?" Ning Yue asked in a deep voice.
"The peak late-stage Yin-Yang Realm!" Leng Yan replied.
"Let's go. We'll use the teleportation array to go to the Evil Cloud Pavilion first. You find a way to lure that martial artist to the Evil Cloud Pavilion."
Ning Yue immediately rushed out of the secret chamber and headed toward the secret chamber where Old He was.
The teleportation array was in Old He's secret chamber, and they could reach the Evil Cloud Pavilion quickly from there.
Ning Yue knew very well that he was no match for a martial artist at the peak late-stage Yin-Yang Realm in his current physical condition.
He could only retreat in order to advance. He would lure that martial artist to the Evil Cloud Pavilion first, then find a way to activate the Evil Cloud Pavilion's array formation to deal with him!
Within half an hour in the Evil Cloud Pavilion's bronze secret chamber, the mysterious man had not only taught Ning Yue the Nine Return to One Sword Array, but he had also told Ning Yue the method to activate the Evil Cloud Pavilion's internal array formation.
As long as he could activate the internal array formation, Ning Yue was confident that he could fight a martial artist at the peak of Yin-Yang Realm!
"Open the passage."
At the same time, a middle-aged man at the Snow Pavilion's first line of defense said in a deep voice, "I want to see Old He."
"Token."
Although the middle-aged man's cultivation base was at the peak late-stage Yin-Yang Realm, the martial artist guarding the passage still extended his hand and said calmly, "No one can pass without the token."
Swoosh!
The middle-aged man waved his sleeve, and a golden token shot out.
Smack!
The slightly plump martial artist took the token and looked at it. Then, his expression became extremely respectful as he said, "I'll open the passage now."
Then, the slightly plump martial artist personally took out two supreme-grade Origin Crystals and threw them into the hole in the passage.
Swoosh!
As soon as the passage was opened, the middle-aged man's figure flashed, and he went in.
After the middle-aged man disappeared, an early-stage Yin-Yang Realm martial artist next to him came over and asked, "Who was that? You've never been so respectful to Master Scorpion. "
The slightly plump martial artist did not answer immediately. Instead, he took a deep breath and said slowly, "Have you heard of the Hidden Dragon Guards? If I'm not mistaken, that person should be the deputy captain of the Hidden Dragon Guards … "
"Hidden Dragon Guards!"
Hearing this, the other three Early Yin Yang Stage martial artists sucked in a breath of cold air.
They had heard of the Hidden Dragon Guards before. They were Ouyang Ba's imperial guards, and they answered directly to Ouyang Ba. They held great power, and they could act first and report later!
