The knife-scarred man hid most of the Snow Step God Stones and only gave them forty pieces.
Ye Qinghan smiled and didn't say anything as he watched them happily splitting the loot. They didn't know that they were about to die. Even if he didn't do anything today, the people of Heaven would beat them to death.
The servant who followed the knife-scarred man quietly arrived outside the courtyard. He didn't want to alert the enemy, but instead, he kept watch from a distance and informed the shop owner.
The shop owner had already taken the jade pendant to Heaven's branch, which was a luxurious mansion inside Clear Sky Keep.
The person who received him was the branch leader, a middle-aged man with a gentle demeanor. He was the representative of Heaven and was only in charge of external business. Normally, when contacting the major forces, they would go through him. His cultivation wasn't very good, but his status was different. He was known as Thirteenth Master. When he saw the jade pendant in the old man's hand, a cold light flashed and he snatched it away.
"This is master's jade pendant. Where did you get it?" Thirteenth Master's elegant face revealed a trace of shock and anger as he asked coldly.
"My lord, this old man felt that something was wrong when I saw this jade pendant. It was exchanged by a knife-scarred man, a famous hoodlum in the keep. I've already asked the servant to follow him …" The shop owner quickly replied.
At this moment, the communication talisman on the old man's waist flashed. He opened it and was immediately overjoyed. "My lord, I've already confirmed their location. They are in a courtyard in the refugee cave in the east of the city."
Thirteenth Master's mouth twitched. He shouted to the few burly men outside, "Gather the men and surround the courtyard. Find out how master's jade pendant ended up in their hands!"
"Yes!"
The people in this branch were all powerful guards, and there was no lack of Giant Gods among them. There were also some top-notch Superior Gods among them. About a hundred people rushed toward the courtyard house in the east of the city under Lord Thirteen's lead.
Thirteenth Master was a person of the underworld and had connections with both the underworld and the underworld. Especially in the vicinity of Clear Sky Keep, no one dared to disrespect him. If they all moved out, nothing good would come out of it. The people on the street all made way and didn't dare to block their path.
…
Ye Qinghan was sitting leisurely on the roof of a loft. He took a table full of divine fruits and wine and drank with the divine bird.
"Divine Bird, let me make a bet with you. I can sneak into heaven." Ye Qinghan took a sip of wine and said confidently.
"You have the nerve to show off in front of me with this kind of retarded action? As long as this Divine Bird wills it, entering Heaven is just a matter of waving my wings. "The Divine Bird said disdainfully.
Ye Qinghan could not be bothered with the divine bird. It was as if the bottom of the Qing Tian Keep was made of a complete piece of steel. There was no gap to be found. If it was so easy to enter the heavens, there would be no need to resort to schemes to lure out the people of the heavens.
"Alright, this method of luring the snake out of its hole is indeed very clever." The divine bird looked at Ye Qinghan's mocking expression and could only flap its wings in approval.
Ye Qinghan didn't say anything. He watched as the 13th Master led a large number of experts from the center of the city towards the east of the city. Ye Qinghan removed the banquet, drew his sword, and left. His silhouette flickered and appeared in the courtyard.
The courtyard was filled with joy, but it was enveloped by Ye Qinghan's gloomy and cold aura.
The knife-scarred man was shocked. He drew his sword and pointed it at Ye Qinghan. He scolded coldly, "Who are you?"
Puchi — — —
Ye Qinghan's sharp sword swiped through the air and pierced through the knife-scarred man's throat. His speed was as fast as lightning.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh — — —
Ye Qinghan didn't give the burly men any chance to retaliate. They were all killed in an instant.
Bang!
The moment Ye Qinghan killed everyone, he knelt on one knee and spat out a mouthful of blood. His sword stabbed into the ground as if he was heavily injured.
The group of children retreated in fear, especially the little girl and the little boy. They recognized Ye Qinghan. They didn't expect that stealing a jade pendant would cause the death of so many people.
Ye Qinghan was obviously pretending. Previously, the Lord of Heaven, Li Yifeng, and Ye Qinghan had a huge battle. If Ye Qinghan came back unscathed, it wouldn't make sense. Moreover, if he pretended to be heavily injured and unconscious, it would save him a lot of trouble. The 13th Master might even contact the emissaries of Heaven to bring him directly to the underground city.
After killing the burly men and confirming that the children weren't a threat, Ye Qinghan pretended to be unconscious and fell to the ground. Blood flowed everywhere.
The servant outside was stunned. Ye Qinghan attacked too quickly and fell to the ground too quickly. He didn't even have time to react!
Ah — — —
The little girl and the little boy screamed in fear. Perhaps it was because the little girl was slightly older, but just as she was about to organize the children to leave this place, the servant rushed into the courtyard and stopped them with his sword.
"Don't move!"
The servant warned coldly.
The children trembled and looked at the servant. The servant looked at Ye Qinghan. He wanted to take off his cloak to take a closer look, but he didn't dare to. He could only wait for the shopkeeper to come over.
Soon, the 13th Master led the shopkeeper and a hundred burly men to surround the courtyard.
Bang!
The door to the courtyard house was kicked open by Lord Thirteen. When he saw a white-clothed man lying in a pool of blood on the ground, he couldn't help being shocked. He immediately rushed over and took off his cloak. When he saw the mask of the Lord of Heaven, he was shocked.
"How did the Lord suffer such heavy injuries? These people obviously can't cause any harm to the Lord! " The 13th Master took Ye Qinghan's pulse and found that his life force was about to dissipate. He couldn't help but turn around and glare at the servant.
The servant was also shocked. He quickly knelt down and shook his head, "My lord, the Lord instantly killed them when he came in. However, after killing them, he coughed up blood and fell to the ground. This little one doesn't understand either!"
"13th Master, it might be that the Lord was already heavily injured. After using his divine energy, his injuries worsened and he fainted …" The shopkeeper hurriedly guessed.
This sentence reminded Thirteenth Master of something. Thirteenth Master frowned and thought for a moment before muttering to himself, "A few days ago, I heard that Lord and Divine Sect's Master were captured. Could it be that Lord desperately escaped but was heavily injured?"
However, the 13th Master quickly calmed down and said to the burly men behind him, "Quick, carry the Lord back to the branch. I'll go invite the Lord Emissary over."
With that, the 13th Master quickly left.
Ye Qinghan didn't move at all. He didn't even release his divine sense. He was only waiting for the Emissary of Heaven to come.
Within the courtyard, several burly men carried a palanquin and carried Ye Qinghan back to the Heaven branch. The dozen or so children in the courtyard were also brought back.
In less than an hour, three Emissary level experts appeared in the Heaven branch. Seeing Ye Qinghan's figure, mask, and the jade pendant, they didn't suspect anything. They reached out and took Ye Qinghan's pulse. They found that the life force in his body had dissipated. His flesh and blood were collapsing. He wasn't just heavily injured, he was on the verge of death!
"It is indeed the Lord. Bring him back and ask the Lord Emissary to help. Perhaps he can be saved!" One of the Emissaries said firmly.
With that, one of the Emissaries carried Ye Qinghan on his back. One of the Emissaries walked at the back and one at the front. They were extremely vigilant and quickly rushed out of the Clear Sky Fortress.
