Impression of Zhao Qianhe
The scene of Zhao Qianhe suppressing Xiao Hu was still vivid in his mind. If she hadn't appeared, Xiao Hu wouldn't have left so anticlimactic.
The surrounding people instinctively made way for him. Ye Zichen sensed that he was coming his way, so he greeted him as a junior.
"Thank you for your help, Senior."
Zhao Qianhe walked up to Ye Zichen, who was bowing to her. She didn't say anything for a long time. She naturally didn't act as if she'd spoken to Xiao Hu.
She was a ruler. Even if Xiao Hu had affected the Northern Divine Mountain, she wouldn't have been the one to communicate with him.
Her appearance was completely at the behest of others.
Before coming here, she'd always been curious about Ye Zichen. She also wanted to see for herself what the man who'd entrusted her with this task, a man who'd practically praised to the heavens, was really like.
However, when she saw it for herself, her impression of Ye Zichen wasn't particularly good.
Perverse.
Arrogant.
Arrogant.
He was clearly not even a Prime, yet he dared to provoke the Thunder Emperor's clan, which had been established in the God Race for tens of thousands of years. He was completely irresponsible for his own actions and acted on his own whims.
No fear in his heart.
He looked down on everything.
There was no subtlety to speak of.
In short, in Zhao Qianhe's eyes, there was nothing special about this person. On the other hand, what she saw were countless character flaws that she couldn't look straight at. It was hard to imagine that if it wasn't for her, this arrogant young man might not even be able to survive.
She couldn't understand how such a person could receive such a high evaluation from that person.
Zhao Qianhe shook her head indifferently and didn't even look at him. She turned to Chen Chenghe and the others.
"Longevity Sword Sect, Yellow Wind Sect, Beast Governing Sect."
"Senior."
Everyone on the Divine Mountain bowed. Zhao Qianhe spoke again.
"When Xiao Hu returns, he will definitely cause trouble for all three of you. How about this: when you go back, tell your sect master that if he doesn't mind, the Northern Divine Mountain's Sea of Innocence is willing to take you in. "
The people of the Divine Mountains had been panicking over how to face their sects, but when they heard Zhao Qianhe's offer, they all lit up with hope.
The Xiao Family was the Thunder Emperor's family, and they were extremely powerful. If such a force bore a grudge against them, their sects would never be able to rise again. They might even become abandoned pawns left behind to preserve their sects.
But if they could attach themselves to the Northern Divine Mountain's Sea of Innocence, that would be a completely different situation.
The Sea of Innocence was a power that could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Lightning Emperor's family. With the Sea of Innocence's protection, even the Lightning Emperor's family would have no choice but to suffer in silence. However, even if they remembered this grudge, they couldn't truly destroy their sect.
As for them, who might become the abandoned pawns of the sect, they might even be able to become the heroes who helped the sect establish such a powerful backer.
"We will definitely explain it to the Sect Leader when we return to the sect." Chen Chenghe and the others nodded.
"Yes."
Nodding calmly, Zhao Qianhe turned to leave as well. The Lower Lands of the Divine Mountains were left for those below the Supremes to live in. Existences like her couldn't stay here for too long.
Just as she was about to return to the Divine Mountains, Ye Zichen called out to her from behind.
"Senior, please wait."
Zhao Qianhe turned around indifferently, then looked at Ye Zichen with an indescribable expression.
"Senior, please return those two rings to me. They belong to me, of course."
She unfolded the rings, looked at them, then glanced at Ye Zichen's serious expression. Only then did she say her first words to him.
"They belong to you?"
"That's right." Ye Zichen's expression was solemn. "My friend gave me those rings in exchange for their safety. They belong to me, of course."
"Without me, how could you possibly talk about safety? Besides, I wasted quite a bit of my time taking action. If I don't even get those two rings, wouldn't that be a bit of a loss? "said Zhao Qianhe.
"Senior, you must be joking. You've gained far more than I have."
In response to Zhao Qianhe's question, Ye Zichen pressed his lips into a smile.
"You've gained the support of the Longevity Sword Sect, the Yellow Wind Sect, and the School of Imperial Beasts. I'm sure these three aren't small factions on the Divine Mountains. With the addition of these three factions, the Sea of Innocence's overall strength will rise to a whole new level. After receiving so many benefits, can you really say you didn't get anything at all? "
The onlookers were shocked beyond belief. It was just two rings; the resources contained inside were most likely limited. Yet Ye Zichen was haggling with someone who'd defeated even Xiao Hu just because of those two rings. They really didn't know whether to say he was extraordinarily courageous or that there was something wrong with his brain.
Even Senior Brother Huang of the Yellow Wind Sect wanted Ye Zichen to shut up. If worst came to worst, he'd just send him two more rings.
Otherwise, if that senior took advantage of the rings and even found the Yellow Wind Sect an eyesore, wouldn't that be a huge loss? Especially when it came to the thoughts of powerful seniors, it was hard to fathom. Ye Zichen couldn't deny the possibility of that happening.
When she heard Ye Zichen's eloquent argument, Zhao Qianhe smiled calmly and tossed the rings to him.
Ye Zichen caught the rings and bowed, but Zhao Qianhe had already turned around and disappeared from everyone's sight.
However, before she left, she'd already had a terrible impression of Ye Zichen. Now, she'd added two new flaws to his image.
Greed.
Sophistry.
Ye Zichen naturally had no idea of this, and he couldn't be bothered to care about what Zhao Qianhe thought of him.
Even though he had an enormous amount of resources on hand, compared to the major factions of the God Realm, it wasn't even worth mentioning. Even if the rings the Yellow Wind Sect had given him didn't contain many resources, he couldn't just throw them away like that.
Besides, given Zhao Qianhe's status, she didn't have much use for them.
He might as well give them to Ye Zichen so he could use them on his blade.
Ye Zichen naturally handed the ring back to the chief steward, Jiao Qi. At the same time, he glanced at the corpses strewn across the courtyard and gestured for Upheaval's members to clean them up. At the same time, he turned to the cultivators from the Divine Mountains.
"I won't keep you any longer. Go back to wherever you came from."
"Then we won't impose on you any longer. If you have the chance, Brother Ye, please come visit our Eternal Sword Sect." Chen Chenghe cupped his hands respectfully, then left with his two fellow disciples.
"And the Yellow Wind Sect."
The members of the Yellow Wind Sect disappeared as well. As for the members of the School of Imperial Beasts, the other two wanted to greet them politely, but they'd never spoken to Ye Zichen in the first place. The cold-faced youth who'd killed the Xiao Family members didn't seem to be good with words either. He simply cupped his hands in greeting, then disappeared as well.
After taking care of everything with great difficulty, Ye Zichen felt an inexplicable wave of exhaustion wash over him.
He seemed unyielding and arrogant, but this was all based on his calculations.
Exhausted, he left everything to Wei Jie, then returned to the room the gang had prepared for him to rest. However, as soon as he pushed open the door ….
