Chapter 19: Ying Sheng’s Depression

Under Placid Cloud Mountain!

A ninth ranked heaven’s eye suddenly opened and immediately drew an image in front of the anxious people.

“That battlefield only contained the corpses of my Great Qin dynasty’s officers and soldiers. Wang Xiong really dared to kill!” Fourth Prince exposed a malevolent expression.

“Fourth Prince, your words are off the mark, you know. If this group of rebels didn’t want to kill my master, why would my master want to counterattack against them?” By the side, the totally loyal Wang Zhong Quan immediately gave it his all to defend Wang Xiong.

“Humph. Wang Zhong Quan, it’s useless even if you have a glib tongue. Wang Xiong killed the officers and soldiers of my great Qin, and even killed Regional Princess Qinghuan. Even if he’s alive, he has to pay for his crimes!” Fourth Prince scowled in response.

“Everything was brought about by the Marquis of Ten Thousand Victories. My master only acted in self-defense, that’s all. Wang Zhong Quan was unwilling to accept this accusation.

“It’s fine, stop arguing. We need to find their whereabouts first!” Zhou Tianyin felt a bit jittery.

This did not merely have to do with Regional Princess Qinghuan’s life or death being unclear, there was also the way Wang Xiong blamed him yesterday. Zhou Tianyin was as unbearably sullen as before.

The power of the heaven’s eye enlarged and instantly, a small image formed, whose scope enlarged.

Everyone quickly looked for human figures inside the image.

“Is that Wind Valley? Wang Xiong and the others were at that Wind Valley before and seemed to have fought. Hurry, Elder Sister, enlarge the image!” Zhou Chi’s eyes shined.

Zhou Tianyin controlled the heaven’s eye and immediately enlarged the image, instantly revealing the fight inside Wind Valley.

In a desperate fight, Godly Tomb Sect disciples continually surrounded Wind Valley as Ying Sheng’s ten people pit their life to resist. Suddenly, a wide stretch of people were injured.

Ying Sheng’s ten people were all at the Martial Ancestor realm, whereas only the elders of the Godly Tomb Sect were Martial Ancestors, and most of the elders were at the backyard of Godly Tomb Palace Hall dealing with a group of demonic tigers.

Only a small number of them were sent here.

Consequently, this fight lasted almost one night.

Ying Sheng knew what would happen if they were to be captured. Their party of ten pit their lives to resist, but there were still a lot of people who died.

At present, only two of his most powerful subordinates remained by his side. However, their entire bodies were blood stained, and apparently no longer had much strength left to fight.

“Marquis, I won’t be able to last much longer!” A gloomy faced general said in agony.

“We can’t let ourselves be captured. Our capture could only mean death. We have to escape this encirclement. There are still three of us left, while there are also only two Godly Tomb Sect elders left. The others are all at the Spiritual Sea realm. If we persist a bit more, we’ll surely be able to escape!” Ying Sheng howled.

“Yes!” His two subordinates grit their teeth.

At this moment, in his heart, Ying Sheng was cursing Wang Xiong. In these last few days, it was bad luck to have run into Wang Xiong. First, it was General Bao. Now, his subordinates were nearly exterminated. What he’d accumulated all of these years had nearly all been destroyed. All he had left were two subordinates at the Martial Ancestor realm.

If it were not for Wang Xiong, he wouldn’t be so miserable.

So miserable!

If he could escape this trap, he must dismember Wang Xiong’s body into ten thousand pieces .

The two sides fought extremely bitterly.

And under Placid Cloud Mountain, everyone was actually staring blankly.

“Why is Ying Sheng here fighting the Godly Tomb disciples to the death?” Zhou Chi was extremely puzzled.

“Eldest Miss Zhou, please lend my son some assistance. He’s on the brink of death. Please extend your help!” Fourth Prince requested impatiently.

Zhou Tianyin turned taciturn and nodded her head.

At this moment, Ying Sheng was in imminent peril. If they don’t make a move, they’d have no way of making an accounting to the human emperor in the future. After all, that’s the human emperor’s grandson. Regardless of what selfish calculations those humans had, Fourth Prince and Ying Sheng were both sent by the human emperor to provide assistance to them.

Zhou Tianyin waved her hand.

The heaven’s eye suddenly emitted purple light. The purple light was dazzling, like a vast purple river pouring down and instantly passed through the sandstorm barrier outside of the Godly Tomb Mountain Range, and charged fiercely straight towards Wind Valley.

Inside Wind Valley, everyone who were fighting instantly sensed a large heavenly power descend upon them. Their bodies immediately felt a deadly threat.

“It’s Sect Head?” The Godly Tomb Sect disciples were ecstatic as they called out.

“Not good!” The Ying Sheng trio exposed an expression of despair.

Of course, their thoughts only lasted for an instant. The speed of that purple light was too fast. Almost instantly, it arrived at Wind Valley.

Just as the Ying Sheng trio were despairing, that purple light unexpectedly brushed past them.

Exploding at the locations of Godly Tomb Sect disciples, especially those two Martial Ancestor realm elders.

“Boom~~~~~~~!”

“AAHH~~~~~!”

Immediately, blood-curdling screams extended over a wide expanse. The two elders immediately threw up blood, then were thrown flying, while the Spiritual Sea realm disciples were covered in blood from head to toe, collapsing everywhere.

“What?” Everyone displayed a flabbergasted expression.

Why did the heaven’s eye move against the two elders?

Why did Sect Head do that?

Even the Ying Sheng trio displayed a blank, confused expression.

“Still not escaping quickly?!” Zhou Tianyin’s gentle voice shouted at them.

“It’s Tianyin?” Ying Sheng’s face immediately turned ecstatic.

“Let’s go!” With a loud shout, the three people immediately shot far away.

“Stop!” Godly Tomb disciples immediately chased after them.

However, the two most powerful elders were already seriously hurt, let alone these Spiritual Sea realm disciples.

They simply were unable to block those three people.

The three people ran quickly. Before long, they already shook off all of the Godly Tomb Sect disciples.

The Godly Tomb Sect disciples left behind cursed with indignant rage.

“Many thanks, Eldest Miss Zhuo!” Fourth Prince actually exhaled discreetly in relief.

The heaven’s eye continued to follow the Ying Sheng trio.

The three of them ran straight into a forest before stopping.

“Marquis?”

“General!”

……………………..

……………..

……….

This forest concealed three hundred Great Qin officers and soldiers.

Seeing the Ying Sheng trio covered in blood as they ran, the others immediately revealed shocked expressions.

The three people did not pay attention to the other officers and soldiers as they quickly swallowed healing pills.

“Ying Sheng, how’s Regional Princess Qinghuan?” Zhou Tianyin’s voice sounded once more.

“Regional Princess Qinghuan is still alive! She’s in Wang Xiong’s hands! Cough cough cough!” Ying Sheng replied in a fit of coughing.

After Ying Sheng finished speaking, everyone below Placid Cloud Mountain exhaled gloomily.

“Luckily, Wang Xiong is not deranged. If he killed Regional Princess Qinghuan, he’s going to get it!” Zhou Chi exhaled softly.

Wang Zhong Quan and Fourth Prince were no exception as they both also relaxed.

“Then what happened just now? You guys were involved with a life and death struggle with the Godly Tomb Sect disciples?” Zhou Tianyin asked, puzzled.

It wasn’t merely Zhou Tianyin who was puzzled, everyone else were also extremely puzzled.

Wasn’t Ying Sheng the Marquis of Ten Thousand Victories, weren’t his military tactics extremely formidable? Nearly losing his life in this worthless place? In addition, they even saw the corpses of eight Martial Ancestor realm generals.

It must have taken some time for the Godly Tomb Sect disciples to gather. Using ten precious generals against a big group of minor soldiers? That simply was a poor decision where the gains didn’t make up for the losses.

There was also nothing to gain, so why had eight capable generals die for no reason?

Would Ying Sheng really do something like that?

Ying Sheng’s face stiffened.

Chapter 19: Ying Sheng’s Depression (Part 2)

Thinking of his own loss, Ying Sheng's heart dripped with blood.

In addition to General Bao, his Martial Ancestor realm subordinates who died because of Wang Xiong already totalled nine people.

Nine people!

He’d suffered such disastrous losses.

Yet now, Zhou Tianyin was asking him and he really found it difficult to speak.

“It’s all Wang Xiong’s fault. We went to save him and Regional Princess Qinghuan in good faith, yet didn’t anticipate that he would entrap us!” A wounded general filled with resentment replied.

The general naturally wouldn’t say that they sink into their predicament, because they wanted to kill Wang Xiong, so he could only say that it was because of saving Wang Xiong.

However, the general didn’t understand at all that Zhou Tianyin and the others previously already saw Wang Xiong and Ying Sheng’s group

Ying Sheng wanted to block him, but it was already too late. Since this was the case, then it was not necessary to stop him.

That general rapidly described everything, with the only difference being killing Wang Xiong became rescuing Wang Xiong.

During the description of events.

One could hear a pin drop on Placid Cloud Mountain.

Zhou Chi, however, sucked in a mouthful of cold air.

“That’s impossible. That blockhead Wang Xiong……, how could he!” Zhou Chi was filled with disbelief.

Fourth Prince opened his eyes even wider as he could feel the threat that Wang Xiong posed.

“So what you’re saying is that Wang Xiong has been playing the fool all along? He has always been pretending? He’s another Wang Hong?” Fourth Prince scowled in fury.

If other people said these things, Fourth Prince might not have believed it. However, the general before was actually Ying Sheng’s trusted aide. How could he lie?

However, the ability that Wang Xiong displayed was also too fierce.

He previously saw the scene inside Wind Valley, and it was as if an Asura from hell dismembered all those bodies. He originally even thought that it was done by Ying Sheng. However, previously, Ying Sheng’s eleven people clearly did not have the opportunity to make mincemeat out of those corpses.

Only a single Wang Xiong?

It really was him?

Fourth Prince looked towards Wang Zhongquan with eyes opened wide.

Actually, Wang Zhongquan’s eyes flashed repeatedly. Wang Zhongquan knew Wang Xiong’s aptitude. His potential had been sealed, and was now unsealed, so he was not amazed. He was much more delighted, incomparably delighted.

The more awesome Wang Xiong was, the more happy Wang Zhongquan was.

Zhou Tianyin remained silent.

Zhou Tianyin wasn’t stupid. On the contrary, she was extremely intelligent and could distinguish which of General Qing’s words were truths, and which were not. Listening to the general’s description, Zhou Tianyin was even more curious about Wang Xiong.

Was it possible that Wang Xiong was truly disguising himself as a weakling before?

But why?

His cultivation was also only at the first stage of the Spiritual Sea realm!

Everyone’s gazes looked at Wang Zhongquan simultaneously.

Yet Wang Zhongquan’s expression remained indifferent. Naturally, he wouldn’t say anything to everyone.

Zhou Tianyin saw Wang Zhongquan unwilling to explain and once more looked towards the image from the heaven’s eye.

“Recently, I’ve used up godly light in order to send voice messages to you. Originally I can watch all of you for the period of time it takes to burn an incense. Right now, I can only maintain the eye for a half of the usual time. Ying Sheng, you should take care!” Zhou Tianyin’s voice faded.

The heaven’s eye was going to close soon. Zhou Tianyin still needed to digest the strange news about Wang Xiong.

“Wait wait!” Ying Sheng suddenly opened his mouth.

“Hm!” Zhou Tianyin looked at Ying Sheng, puzzled.

“Tell me which way to go. I’ll pluck the Godly Tomb flower on your behalf!” Ying Sheng spoke in a deep voice.

“Didn’t I already give you guys the map of Godly Tomb Mountain’s paths? It’ll be fine if you go on your own!” Zhou Tianyin shook her head.

“No, the route that you gave us can only allow us to arrive stealthily at the top of Godly Tomb Mountain, but there’s no way for us to avoid the guards at the mountaintop. I know that you have the ability to obtain the route to go up the mountain, so you must also have the route to the Godly Tomb Sect’s palace. Give it to me, and I’ll help you pluck the Godly Tomb flower!” Ying Sheng spoke impatiently.

“I don’t have it!” Zhou Tianyin shook her head.

“Previously, we fought at Wind Valley for one day and one night. Hei Ban also did not come personally. Moreover, his heaven’s eye also came and left quickly. This showed that their may be internal strife within the Godly Tomb Sect. This is a good opportunity for us. Tianyin, believe in me. This time, I’ll help you pluck the Godly Tomb flower!” Ying Sheng spoke eagerly.

Zhou Tianyin naturally could guess that the Godly Tomb Sect was experiencing internal strife. Just a moment ago, her heaven’s eyes even sent an image in the vicinity of the Godly Tomb flower. Hei Ban was in the middle of dealing with a group of tigers.

It’s just that Zhou Tianyin didn’t show it to everyone, that’s all.

This indeed was a good opportunity, a lucky opportunity, but Ying Sheng may not necessarily be able to obtain the flower.

“Oh right, I forgot to tell you that I’ve also brought my father’s saint ranked device, Gravity Domain. As long as I use Gravity Domain, even Hei Ban will have no way of breaking through. After I obtain the Godly Tomb flower, I can take advantage of their disorder to leave the mountain. Even if I’m unable to leave the mountain, Hei Ban also won’t be able to enter the Gravity Domain. We can wait until you guys come as reinforcements. At least, the Godly Tomb flower won’t be at risk of getting taken away! And won’t be destroyed by Hei Ban!” Ying Sheng persuaded eagerly.

At the base of Placid Cloud Mountain, Fourth Prince nodded his head. “The human emperor formerly bestowed the Gravity Domain to me, and I’ve indeed given it to my son to take with him!”

Zhou Tianyin was a bit taciturn.

“This time, all of you guys know that I’m plucking the Godly Tomb flower. What are you guys still worried about. If I were to keep it for myself, I’ll also have no way of explaining it to the human emperor, isn’t that right?” Ying Sheng reasoned once more.

Indeed, Ying Sheng previously could’ve secretly taken the Godly Tomb flower away, then deny it afterwards.

But now, everyone knew about it, so how could he flatly deny it. Even if Ying Sheng brought it out, Zhou Tianyin could look to the human emperor to demand it for her.

“Alright. I believe you!” Zhou Tianyin nodded her head.

Ying Sheng exhaled a long breath.

Wang Xiong’s abrupt rise made Ying Sheng very jittery. Right now, he could only spare no effort in boosting his image in Zhou Tianyin’s heart, so he must build achievements and avoid Regional Princess Qinghuan’s father’s raising difficult questions.

“Elder Quan of the Godly Tomb Sect is someone on my Zhou family’s side. He lives at the place marked by a red circle on the map I gave you! You should go find him, then say that I asked him to assist you!” Zhou Tianyin lowered her voice.

“What? Elder Quan is someone on our Zhou family’s side?” Zhou Chi asked in astonishment.

Fourth Prince and Wang Zhongquan also revealed a stunned expression. It was clear that the two of them also didn’t expect that the Zhou family had already prepared in this path long ago. Someone from the Zhou family unexpectedly already infiltrated the depths of the Godly Tomb Sect. No wonder she knew the Godly Tomb Sect’s terrain so well.

“Good!” Ying Sheng nodded his head.

“Make your move tomorrow at noon. At that time, I want to see you take the Godly Tomb flower!” Zhou Tianyin emphasized it.

“Don’t worry, Tianyin!” Ying Sheng displayed a resolute expression.

“Also, you and I are not that familiar with one another. Please call me by my whole name, Zhou Tianyin!” Zhou Tianyin’s voice finally dropped.

“Buzz!”

Suddenly, the heaven’s eye closed.

Time was up.

Ying Sheng also sensed that aura disappearing and recalled Zhou Tianyin’s final words. Ying Sheng was slightly angry, but very quickly, the corners of his mouth exposed a trace of a sneer. “Sooner or later, there’ll be a day when you will be my woman! Humph!”
