Chapter 189 – Endless Pursuit

Cang Yue faintly smiled and said, “Thank you for Young Lord Burn’s graciousness, Cang Yue everything is fine, Young Lord Burn does not need to worry about it. I don’t know what Young Lord Burn came for this time?”

Just now, Cang Shuo had said very bluntly that the sole purpose of Burning Jiecheng’s arrival was to come and see her. Cang Yue, however, acted as if she did not understand.

Burning Jiecheng also smiled slightly and said in a gentle and straightforward manner, “Hearing that Your Highness has been practicing in all the major branches of the Xuanfu for the past two years, Jiecheng has remembered it and admired it immensely, and even though he dreamed of being able to see the Princess a few more times, he was afraid to disturb the Princess, and so he has been repressing it in his heart. Now that I can finally see the princess again, Jie Cheng is really happy. Her Highness is even more beautiful and honorable than she was two years ago, and the legendary Heavenly Immortal who transformed into a human being is no better than that. In Jie Cheng’s opinion, Your Highness’s beauty is a heavenly treasure for the Cang Feng Royal Family, and even the entire Cang Feng Empire.”

As he spoke, Burning Jiecheng’s feelings of adoration and infatuation were all revealed, naked and unconcealed. Princess Cang Yue, however, as if she did not see this at all, still reported with a light smile, “Young Lord Burning has praised me too much, Cang Yue can’t afford it.”

“I thank Young Lord Burn for the compliments on behalf of the Imperial Sister. The saying that imperial sister is the jewel of my royal family is something that I also deeply believe.” Cang Shuo smiled and said, his eyes flickering as he unobtrusively made a color to the attendant at the back. That attendant immediately understood and immediately stepped forward, pretending to whisper something in his ear.

“Oh?” Cang Shuo’s eyes showed surprise, then he apologized to Burning Jiecheng, “Young Master Burn, this palace suddenly remembered that there is an urgent matter that has yet to be dealt with, so I must excuse myself for a while……. Royal sister, Young Master Burn has not been to the palace for a long time, so you can accompany Young Master Burn to take a walk in the palace.”

“Please forgive Cang Yue for refusing.” As soon as Cang Shuo’s words were finished, Cang Yue directly pushed them away, “It’s not that Cang Yue is unwilling to do so, my father has previously asked someone to pass on a decree, instructing me to go to the chambers at this hour to discuss important matters, my father’s order Cang Yue does not dare to go against it, I hope that my royal brother and the young master of the Burning young master will not take offense, Cang Yue will first excuse me.”

After saying that, Cang Yue gave a slight nod, and without hesitation, walked towards the outside of Range Moon Palace.

Cang Shuo frowned greatly, but Burning Jiecheng only smiled bashfully, as Cang Yue walked past him, he suddenly turned back and said, “Your Highness, when Jiecheng arrived at the palace, he overheard that the princess seemed to be making every effort to look for an exotic flower called the ‘Burning Soul Flower,’ I wonder if the princess can already find it? If she has not yet found it, Jie Cheng does happen to know where the Soul Burning Flower exists.”

Burning Jie Cheng’s arrival made Cang Yue both uneasy and uncomfortable all over, only wanting to leave as soon as possible. Burning Jie Cheng’s words caused her entire body to stiffen, and her footsteps to leave were set dead still. She turned around and said in as calm a tone as possible, ”Is what Young Lord Burning said true? Cang Yue is indeed searching for the Burning Soul Flower, if Young Lord Burning knows where to find it, I hope that you will not hesitate to inform me, Cang Yue will definitely be grateful.”

Burning Jiecheng smiled, “Princess Cang Yue’s request, Jiecheng certainly will not refuse. This Soul Burning Flower that Jie Cheng knows of just happens to be in my Burning Sky Sect’s cultivation place, the Blazing Sun Heavenly Domain.”

Cang Yue’s heart snapped as she suppressed her excitement and said, “That would be great. I wonder if your Sect can transfer that Soul Burning Flower to our Imperial Family, and for the price or transfer conditions, your Sect can feel free to ask.”

Burning Jie Cheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, almost greedily looking at Cang Yue’s stunningly beautiful and honorable to the extreme face and posture, softening his voice, he said, “In this matter, Jie Cheng is unable to make a decision. Lieyang talent, a thousand years also only grow a burning soul flower, the whole clan up and down will it as the most precious treasure, it is absolutely impossible to transfer to others, but ……”

Burning Jiecheng voice a beat, smiled more leisurely: “If the person who wants to burn the soul flower is the person inside my sect, and indeed in urgent need of this burn the soul flower words, coupled with my future sect master’s personal plea, I believe that my father and the elders are not stubborn and rigid people, will certainly be accommodated.”

Burning Jiecheng’s words sounded gentle and elegantly subtle, but in reality, there was a hint of coercion in their bluntness. Allowing an outsider to become someone within the Burning Sky Sect, either becoming a disciple under the sect or marrying into the Burning Sky Sect.

Cang Yue’s towering breasts rose and fell slightly, but then, she slowly shook her head, “Since the Burning Soul Flower is so valuable to your sect, then Cang Yue won’t ask for it, thank you for informing Young Lord Burn, farewell.”

Cang Yue’s such a dry and resolute response was out of Burning Jie Cheng’s expectation, his complexion stiffened as he looked at Cang Yue’s departing back, and his brows slowly sank.

“This imperial sister of mine is still as stubborn as ever.” Cang Shuo opened his mouth, and at this time, facing Burning Jiecheng, he even vaguely brought a hint of respect between his words and actions.

“It is more stubborn than before, at least at first, even though she refused, she was very euphemistic, now, it is so tough, as if telling me not to have any illusions.” Burning Jiecheng laughed in what seemed to be a self-deprecating, annoyed manner.

“Young Lord Burning doesn’t have to be so pessimistic at all,” Cang Shuo hurriedly persuaded, “With Young Lord Burning’s strength, looks, and status, which of the young talents in the entire Cangfeng Empire is comparable. Cang Yue, she is still young, some things are still not yet open, I believe that in a short while, there is no need for Young Lord Burn to pursue, she herself will take the initiative to come to the door and throw herself into the arms of the young lord.” Speaking here, Cang Shuo hesitated and then said, “The reason why Cang Yue’s attitude has suddenly become so resolute, I do know something about it.”

“Oh?” Burning Jiecheng’s gaze turned.

Cang Shuo said, “According to what I know, Cang Yue has not only been searching around for the Soul Burning Flower for some time now, but she has also been searching for a person, a person that she personally brought back from Crescent City. It is said that in the months that she brought him back, she and he were very close …… However, Young Master Burning is assured that that person disappeared as early as five months ago, and it seems that he went into the Deadly Wasteland without any self-importance, and then never came out again. After he disappeared, I heard the palace maid by Cang Yue’s side say that she had shed tears several times and was restless in her sleep and food ……”

“What was that person’s name!”

“Yun Che …… is very young, just seventeen years old this year, but his natural talent is extraordinary, Cang Lin and I have both tried to pull him into our camp.”

“Hmph!” Burning Jiecheng’s eyebrows locked up in death, his entire body surged with a dense to shocking fury: “The woman that this Young Lord has his eyes on, there is actually someone who also intends to get his hands on her …… He had better die, otherwise, I will make him beg for his life and beg for his death!”

The sudden release of anger from Burning Jiecheng’s body caused Cang Shuo’s entire body to shiver. Cang Shuo’s accompanying guards even stared with rounded eyes as a tremor ran through them. Because the aura of xuan power from Burning Jiecheng …… had clearly reached the realm of Earth Xuan!

Dragon God Trial Realm, Endless Plains.

This was also the fifth month that Yun Che had entered this place.

In front of him, a small stream was gurgling, the water was crystal clear, and in the clear water, a fish of different colors and forms was swimming happily.

Yun Che gently placed Chu Yuechan on the soft grass by the brook, then squatted on the bank of the brook, looking at the swimming fish in the brook with a smile and said, “Little Fairy, we have fish soup to drink again……. Well, what flavor of fish soup are we going to drink today?”

As his voice fell, Yun Che’s left hand had already lightning fast plunged into the water and grabbed a large fish that was nearly a foot long. And right at this moment, a river rock to his right suddenly flipped, and a giant crab that was half the size of Yun Che’s body catapulted up, and the pitch-black colored giant crab pincers opened up to violently clip towards Yun Che’s neck……. The barbs on this crab pincers were chilling, and not to mention a person’s neck, even if it was steel, it could still be broken with a single clip.

Yun Che threw the fish in his left hand onto the grass, and without lifting his head, his right hand stretched out like lightning, and grabbed onto the edge of that crab pincer, and with a force in his hand, he brought the entire Murderous Giant Crab and violently threw it towards a nearby river rock.

Yun Che’s arm strength was not a general horror, “Bang” a loud sound, the river stone was split into pieces, the murderous giant crab was also smashed half fainted, and this sound also stabbed the hornet’s nest, more than a dozen murderous giant crabs at the same time scurried up, giant pincers such as an open guillotine blade, the cold light flashing cut to, Yun Che lightning-like drew out the Dragon Que, the body moved, and instantly flashed out in three different directions, three times in the naked eye, and then in three directions, the body moved, and then in three directions. In a flash, his body instantly flashed out in three different directions, three figures that were completely indistinguishable to the naked eye, and the 8,000 kilograms of Dragon Que was as light as a feather in his hands, and in a few breaths, a dozen or so swords came out, and each of the swords struck on the back of one of the murderous giant crabs.

The Murderous Giant Crab was a dangerous Xuan Beast of the second level of the Spirit Xuan Realm, with its terrifying pincers, and its shell was even harder than ever, making it difficult for ordinary Xuanists of the Spirit Xuan Realm to injure it. However, after Yun Che’s round of heavy strikes, with thirteen overlapping cracking sounds, the back shells of all thirteen Murderous Giant Crabs exploded, and the violent Xuan energy immediately surged in, instantly breaking their life veins.

With a flick of his wrist, the Dragon Que returned to Yun Che’s back. In order to fully adapt to the weight of the Dragon Que, after cultivating the Star God Shattering Shadow to the second realm, he had carried the Dragon Que on his back from time to time.

“Eighty-three thousand nine hundred and forty-seven.” As the thirteen Murderous Giant Crabs perished, the numbers in Yun Che’s mind refreshed. Looking at the dead crabs on all fours all over the ground, Yun Che pinched his chin and muttered, “I wonder if these big crabs can be boiled in soup ……”

Yun Che ultimately gave up on this tempting idea and walked back to Chu Yuechan’s side carrying the fish, then set up a pot and stove on the grass, put in the stream and fish, and then burned up the stove fire …… If the Phoenix Divine Beast knew that the place Yun Che used the most after obtaining the Phoenix’s blood was to cook with the Phoenix’s Flame, he didn’t know whether or not he would be so angry that he would burn Yun Che to cinders in a fire.

The stove fire just burned up, trouble came one after another, the grass under his feet had an abnormal slight movement, not waiting for the underground things to come out, Yun Che’s hand was violently inserted into the ground, pulling out a Spirit Xuan Beast Iron Armored Earth Dragon that was about to attack, and then three or two times tied its body into a dead knot, and threw it out from afar……. Pity this Iron Armored Earth Dragon! Although Yun Che’s xuan power level was low, his arm strength was something that could not be compared to that of an advanced xuanist in the Spirit Xuan Realm.

The Iron Armored Earth Dragon that was wrapped into a death knot convulsed chaotically on the grass, but after a short while, its qi and blood flowed backward and it could no longer move.

“Eighty-three thousand nine hundred and forty-eight.” Yun Che recited in a low voice, and just as he finished, his arm suddenly swung upwards, and a Phoenix Flame shot out, blasting down the two Storm Blazing Eagles in the sky that were just about to swoop down.

Now, after five months of integration, his Phoenix Break no longer needed to be activated by a heavy sword, his arm could also be swung out. This was because the arm, too, could be regarded as a heavy sword.

With the scorching heat of the Phoenix Flame, in less than sixty breaths of effort, the fish soup was already stewed.

After serving the fish soup, Yun Che carefully blew on it to cool it, came to the little fairy’s side, lifted her upper body, and touched the small bowl close to her lips, “Here, it’s not hot anymore.”

Chu Yuechan opened her beautiful eyes, parted her tender lips, and with very little effort, drank the fish soup in small bites. Just as she drank the first mouthful, a strange cry came from the sky, and six strange large birds with long tails and greenish color all over their bodies swooped down from different directions, aiming straight for Yun Che.

Yun Che didn’t lift his head, his left hand swung upwards, the Dragon Que was already grasped between his hands, he locked the position of the six turquoise birds, the Dragon Que was swung six times in a row between two breaths, and in the third breath, the Dragon Que was already placed back behind his back.

Chirp chirp chirp ……

In the chaotic sound of phoenix chirping, six phoenix breaks rushed up to the sky, accurately bombarding the six large turquoise birds that flew at him, blasting them away one by one. Throughout the entire process, not a single drop of the fish soup in the small bowl was spilled, Chu Yuechan was not startled, and her snowy lips did not leave the small bowl, and by the time all the six large birds had fallen, half of the fish soup in the small bowl had already been consumed.

Because this kind of situation, which they had encountered every day for five months, had long since become accustomed to, she was even more completely confident that Yun Che would be able to withstand it perfectly.

For five months, they had endured the attacks of various Xuan Beasts almost every moment, sometimes more and sometimes less, but almost never interrupted. What Taikoo Canglong had said earlier about not being able to sleep at night and not being able to eat peacefully was not a hint of exaggeration or scaremongering.

The difficulty of this level of trial was more than ten times higher than the first level. What was terrifying was not the high level of the beasts, nor their amazing numbers, but the uninterrupted attacks! On the ground, underground, in the water, in the air, at any time there may be Xuan Beasts attacking, the spirit of even a second of slackness, may be killed. Under this kind of situation, it might be easy to persist for a day or two, and three or four days could barely be enough, but any longer than that, even if the body could hold out, the spirit would break down……. If it were a normal person, even if their Xuan Power was twice as high as Yun Che’s, it would be almost impossible for them to persevere.

But it so happened that for Yun Che, the difficulty of this trial was not higher than the first level.

This was because, in his previous life, he had spent it in a pursuit. The Endless Plains’ Xuan Beasts’ pursuit was certainly terrifying, but in his previous life, he had endured the pursuit of all the supreme sects in the entire world, all the supreme powerhouses! And it lasted for seven whole years. Between the seven years, his alertness, perception, reflexes, and anti-hunting abilities had also been refined to an extremely terrifying level during that kind of pursuit.

After being reborn, he didn’t have much of a chance to display these abilities. And in the endless pursuit of Xuan Beasts in this Endless Wasteland, these abilities of his were reawakened.
