Chapter 142: Leng Ya, the Lonesome Wolf

“Did you see anything?” Long Yin said in a low voice. No matter how hard he tried to hide it, he still was not able to conceal the trembling of his voice.

The three protectors simultaneously shook their heads, “None.”

Elder Li forcibly suppressed his terrified voice as he said in a low voice, “Not just any shadows, but when the three of us released our spiritual senses we still couldn’t detect the presence of any outsider. We were unable to determine how the third prince could die like this. So... The biggest possibility is that there might have been a Thunder Shaker Bomb planted inside the third prince’s body.”

“How about the note? Don’t tell me it just sprouted out on its own from the roof.” Long Yin gripped the note tightly with gritted teeth.

“This...”

Long Yin’s heart was fully terrified. For someone to do such thing, even under the watch of his three protectors, to have killed him directly like it was such a simple task... Could it be that it was an actual punishment from the heavens?

If only one among the three protectors were present, he might have doubted them. But all three of them were there so it meant that no one in the group was the suspect, not to mention they had already shown their loyalty to three generations. If they really wanted to plot against the Long Family, there was no need to use this kind of method.

“Your Majesty, what was written in the note? Furthermore, why do you need to keep this matter a secret?” one of the old men said.

“I have my own reasons. Don’t mention this matter anymore.” Long Yin waved his hands, taking heavy footsteps as he departed. His heart was being pushed down by a thousand catties of boulders. He seemed to have seen a pair of devilish eyes coldly laughing at him from a corner, as if planning to take his life out at any time. For an emperor like him, who regarded his safety as the most important thing of all, he would never live his life peacefully from now on.

He attempted to not let these protectors know anything about the Ye Family. He did not want them to know the details in the note. They were his three most loyal, and they also show the most respect to others who were also loyal. If they knew about his plot to harm the son of Ye Family in two previous attempts, how would they react? Even the hired killer, Tao BaiBai, had undertaken the task upon his secret assignment to the Lin Family.

“Punishment... Punishment from the heavens. Could it be that I have done something wrong?” Long Yin just sat there with his blood-stained clothes, absent-mindedly mumbling.

Soon, the palace announced the news of the third prince’s death. The group of eunuchs and imperial guards who had been present were replaced, and the whereabouts of the previous group became unknown. A lot of people had found something odd about this incident, yet no one dared to ask or discuss it.

Under the exposure of sunlight, the thick fog had cleared. A red horse unhurriedly walked eastward, riding on it were Ye Wuchen and Ning Xue, just the two of them.

All of a sudden, a black shadow swept past from behind like lightning; the speed was so incomparably fast and the shadow hugged Ye Wuchen’s body from behind.

“Is it done?” Ye Wuchen did not look back, just smiled as he remarked. He evidently knew who the girl was.

Tong Xin nodded, revealing a smile on her face that Ye Wuchen could not see.

“En, very well, then let us start off on our journey.”

Ye Wuchen hoisted the horsewhip, and the red horse neighed. Striding, the horse stepped as it wildly galloped, scattering the dust all the way.

Although the speed of the horse was fast, it was a small difference compared to Ye Wuchen’s speed, and simply incomparable to Tong Xin’s. Ye Wuchen smiled as he looked forward, different thoughts flashed through his mind. Long Yin had tried to harm the son of Ye Family two consecutive times. The first attempt, he had succeed. The second time around, he had failed. And Ye Wuchen’s revenge, similarly settled on his son. The difference was, his methods were more cruel, more bloody. He made Long Yin watch at his favorite son helplessly, as his body exploded, not even allowing him to find know the real cause of death. This would result in not allowing him to rest or eat in peace, with the lingering fear inside his heart that would be impossible to get rid of.

The southern and northern part of the Tian Long Nation were two entirely different worlds. The northern part of the Tian Long City contained families of officials, who experienced no difficulties and those who possessed bodies with cultivation to protect themselves were quite few. While all sorts of magical beasts could be found everywhere in the south, so large and small martial families were scattered all over the place. It could be said that almost everyone had martial skills and magical skills. The Southern area could be considered as the world that honored martial skills as a major skill. Ye Wuchen stretched his waist lazily, rousing Ning Xue from her shallow sleep against his chest. She rubbed her drowsy eyes, and asked, “Brother, where are we now?”

“I don’t know... But I won’t permit myself and Xue-er to lose our way. This horse is quite slow though. Are there any ferocious beasts in the southern area that we can tame and ride on? That would be fun.” Ye Wuchen laughed. He would always ask Ye Qi and Ye Ba about general knowledge on the Heavenly Star Continent. Although the majority of beasts were considered enemies of man, one could tame a creature and control it.

By the time that Ye Wuchen had left the Ye residence, Leng Ya has also reached a turning point in his life.

He did not sleep the whole night, yet his eyes were still like blades. His body, which had been completely soaked with dew and sweat, still had a faintly discernable stern air. According to the map that was sketched by Ye Wuchen, he had finally arrived at this long forgotten place. When Ye Wuchen started off on his journey with Long Zhengyang as they returned to Tian Long City, they had taken half-month’s time. He only used a week’s time to arrive at this point from Tian Long City. He was a man of strong dedication and arrogance, without any worries, all he now has one goal. As a result, with the fastest speed, he travelled day and night, only to stop to recover his strength whenever he was tired.

His eyes were rigidly fixed on the old man who appeared in his line of sight. The old man had a stooped waist sitting on an old tree stump, with half closed eyes and completely without breath or energy in his body, like a lifeless old tree.

“You are Chu Cangming!” Leng Ya yelled out his name in a harsh tone. The feeling the this old man gave him was almost similar to his god-like father.

The old man did not turn, yet his eyelids slightly drew up, “Who permitted you to come here?”

His voice was aged and drawn-out. It was clearly just one voice, yet it sounded like so many layers of voices combined together. He followed Ye Wuchen’s words, one word at a time, “Ye Wuchen has permitted me to come here. He said you will make me stronger.”

The old man turned his body, his turbid eyes came met with Leng Ya’s which had been flickering with cold rays. “Do you want to become a lonesome wolf, or a northern goshawk?”

A lonesome wolf was a protector of those he wanted to keep safe, whether good or evil, he would use wolf teeth to rip apart all obstructions. A northern goshawk only showed disdain for common people. The solitary creature used claws to rip apart all the evil present before its eyes.

“Lonesome wolf!” Leng Ya gritted his teeth and firmly uttered the two ice-cold words.

The old man turned with an emotionless face and yelled, “Da Niu.”

At this hour, the sky was still dark but for the indistinct dawn of light, yet Chu Jingtian had already been practising his sword for a very long time. Upon hearing the yell, he came back sweating profusely, before he began to talk, he saw Leng Ya and immediately his bull-like eyes stared. “This young brother, where did you come from? This is a remote place that can’t be simply found by any ordinary people.” action

“Since you want to become a lonesome wolf, then, kill him.” The old man pointed a finger at Chu Jingtian and shouted loudly at Leng Ya.

Chu Jiangtian opened wide his mouth, thinking that there might be something wrong with his ears, but the next second, a very ice-cold wind had launched towards him. It was an emerald green short blade clenched in Leng Ya’s hands.

“Shattering Wind Blade!?” the old man had a sudden change in his expression.

Dong!

The striking of the metal striking metal sounded as Leng Ya’s Shattering Wind Blade had hit Chu Jingtian’s Cangming sword. Chu Jingtian, who was met with the sudden attack, did not act with confusion. Leng Ya’s strong murderous spirit did not slack in pressure, which made him realize that this man of few words had the intention to take his life. After blocking the Shattering Wind Blade, he shouted out, and blue rays shot off from the Cangming Sword’s blade, releasing the majestic power of the blade, causing the air circulation in the surroundings to stop. The force that beat against Leng Ya’s body was followed by a very strong force vibrating through his hands. He tightly groaned and his body shook as he was flipped over, the Shattering Wind Blade was wrenched from his hands, obliquely piercing into the moist ground.

Leng Ya turned over and stood up, lowering his gaze. The first round, he suffered a crushing defeat. He clearly knew that it was impossible to be his opponent’s match. This man seemed harmless, tall and an age similar to his own, but with a strength more powerful than Lin Xiao or Ye Wuchen.

Chu Jingtian wiped off the cold sweat caused by the murderous spirit of Leng Ya, with lingering fear, he said, “That scared me. I thought I was going to lose my life...” Looking at the old man, he stroked his head and made a sad face. “I say, grandpa, I have followed almost all of your orders, you didn’t need to scare me like that.”

The old man did not respond but extended his right hand. The Shattering Wind Blade, which had pierced on the ground emitted a green ray as it flew towards his hand. Chu Jingtian exclaimed at once, “What a great blade! Good thing it didn’t destroy the Cangming sword which was instilled with my inner powers. Oh right, young brother, what is the name of this short blade?”

Chu Jingtian was a skilled, amiable, and tall man. In an instant, he had completely forgotten Leng Ya’s intentions to kill him and greeted him affectionately.

Leng Ya coldly snorted at him and did not respond.

“Twenty years ago, Feng Chaoyang, who sworn never to marry, had fallen under the evil schemes of the Snow Woman and suffered from the Heavenly Star Continent’s strangest poison of lust. Without a choice, he was forced to rape a Tian Long woman. You must be their son.” The old man looked the Shattering Wind Blade over in his hand and remarked plainly.

“......”

“This Shattering Wind Blade is one of the three most wonderful weapons in the world. Do you know why it is called Shattering Wind Blade?”

“......”

The old man’s hand moved. His pale old hand drove the Shattering Wind Blade into thin air and he gently slashed...

Hiss~~

That light slashing movement seemed to have cut apart air and space, producing an ear-piercing tearing sound, followed by a loud noise. At a distance about thirty meters away, a huge tree was cut in the middle, the trunk pulled apart and heavily collapsed to the ground. The part where it had been cut was as smooth as a mirror, as if was cut by an incomparably sharp blade.

Leng Ya’s expression suddenly changed. Chu Jingtian eyes were also opened wide and he almost shouted out loud.

“So long as one has enough strength, the Shattering Wind Blade will be able to take someone’s life within a hundred meters. Even the wind can be easily cut, but you are wasting the functionality of this precious thing. You are not qualified to use it.”
