Ye Yuyan's winter robes swayed with the wind as a black scroll rapidly unfurled in front of him. Along it was a 9 colored lightning bolt that looked as if it had been inked in. It bled along the scroll trying to escape, the sight of which horrified the Third Prince.
"You sealed it?!? How?" Han Yi said in a disbelieving and horrified tone.
"A myriad of things are mutually restricted." Ye Yuyan said mysteriously
"This lightning may be special but this scroll has a mutual origin." Ye Yuyan laughed as he furled the scroll with one motion.
He snapped his fingers and the snowflakes on his robes dissipated. The robes went back to the deep black color it originally was. Ye Yuyan's eerie black eyes landed on Yunshi and Knighted Maven who were sitting on the rubble of a house.
Noticing his gaze they both rapidly moved, Nesilia did the same as they jumped near the tower remains. Scattered around were various icicles and remnant electrical powers.
In the distance was a monstrous roar that echoed throughout the forests, mountains, and valleys. Beams of blue energy blasted into the sky in various directions creating beautiful lights.
"He's heard me calling, he'll come soon enough." Ye Yuyan laughed as his eyes focused on the sky.
"Are you crazy?" Nesilia asked concerningly
"No not at all this would happen anyways." He chuckled as Knighted Maven's eyes focused on the sky.
"He won't be able to make it back here for a while. We're safe if we can get away soon." Maven said with a serious tone.
"So what do you say?" Ye Yuyan teased as he gauged for a response.
"You..." Han Yi silently uttered. Yunshi walked to his side away from Knighted Maven.
"I agree with him." Yunshi casually commented but that was enough for Han Yi.
"Understood." He said to Yunshi and turned towards Ye Yuyan.
"So you figured out the plan then you'd best explain your plan." Han Yi said impatiently
"Thank you." Ye Yuyan said graciously as he reached into his robes and removed 3 different scrolls which he threw out into the sky.
Each scroll unfurled vertically on its own and Ye Yuyan took out a quill from his robe. He tapped on the ground in various parts, as Illathar's blue energies came from the ground and entered into each scroll.
"He's divining!" Nesilia said with serious concentration
As each bit of slaughter qi condensed into the scrolls, they started to hum and rapidly vibrate. When saturated with slaughter qi, the scrolls shot out blue beams. The energies stretched out across the sky heading off into some distant area.
"My plan is simple really, the moment Illathar materialized each step left a bit of his presence." Ye Yuyan said as the blue beams left a visible blue hue in the sky.
"Right now he is in search of the robber of the tribulation gourd. So we can follow his steps right to the first place he'd check." Ye Yuyan laughed deviously
"The Immortal Graveyard!" Han Yi yelled with realization.
"Exactly, that's where we can find the inheritance you've been seeking." Ye Yuyan said with a cool smirk.
"You have quite a talent for demon sealing." Yunshi commented as his eyes focused on the blue hues in the sky.
"As you've noticed I have a bit of Illathar's power. I released it so that we could distract it and get to the graves before it could." Ye Yuyan responded back
"So will you work with me?" Ye Yuyan said as his eyes scanned across Yunshi, Maven, Nesilia, and finally landing on Han Yi.
"You're really something else kid." Knighted Maven laughed tacitly approving the cooperation.
Han Yi looked at Yunshi who casually nodded and Nesilia who looked determined.
"Fine, we can work together." Han Yi said unwittingly
"But don't forget your place." He said as he turned away and started jumping on the houses. Knighted Maven chuckling followed behind him as Yunshi followed them. Han Yi's eyes focused on the blue trail in the sky as he followed it intently.
"You're quite the headache." Nesilia commented as she rubbed her temples.
"I know." Ye Yuyan snickered as he jumped and followed the group with Nesilia following by his side.
"So about that trade from earlier." Nesilia said with a snicker of her own.
******************************
The group ran forward following the blue trail for a few days, they took a few breaks along the way. During those times each of the members would pick a place to meditate for a few hours. The group stopped by a small town by the bottom of one of the mountains.
Han Yi landed in front of the town gates and behind him came Maven and Yunshi. Then after a few moments, Ye Yuyan and Nesilia came behind them.
"We'll stay here for a while. Yunshi will be following the trail for now." Han Yi said as he turned to Yunshi who nodded in response. Then with the blue fur of Illathar on his back, he jumped over the town and went back into the mountain range.
'Hopefully that catalyst works.' Ye Yuyan thought as he looked at the fur on Yunshi's back. This was a part of the plan, Yunshi distracts Illathar and when it's all clear we go around the mountains and enter into the immortal graveyard.
Han Yi flashed a token with a 9 pointed star to the guards and they saluted Han Yi with fervor and opened the gates. One of the gatekeepers guided us through the streets of the town. The people hid inside of their houses with a few conversing on their porches.
I could see some children and adults guardedly peaking through the window to look at us. Such suspicion was not uncommon in an area so close of terrifying beasts. In a way, they live like beasts under the threat of death looking around every corner.
"Your Eminence! These are our finest quarters, I hope they are to your liking." The gatekeeper said with his reverence unhidden. In front of us was a stately aristocratic home, it built from fine wood and various metals and stones which were crafted by skillful artisans.
"This will do Elder, we won't impose and will each take a room." Han Yi said thankfully as he entered the building.
The elder scanned Nesilia, Maven, and I as we entered the building. The elder was someone from the Verulyim capital on standby. Both gatekeepers tend to be high ranking knights who have been successfully knighted.
Knighted warriors are special compared to regular Chivalrous warriors. They have been granted a totem that can focus their forces making them significantly more powerful. A knighted warrior was not as powerful as a true knight but they are on the path to becoming one.
Once they entered the building Han Yi inspected each room slowly, his perception focused on every crevice of each room. After a few moments, he turned to Nesilia, Maven, and I.
"Yunshi will be back in a few days, we will venture out then. Until then keep your conditions to the peak." Han Yi said as a warning before venturing himself to the far left most room and taking it for himself.
"I'm going to go look around and maybe try some wine. Would you like to come with boyo." Knighted Maven joked as he probed for a response from Ye Yuyan.
"Maybe another time." Ye Yuyan said with a charming smile.
"Suit yourself, how about you; young lady?" Maven said with a devious smile.
"I'll also pass." She coldly said
"Kids these days." Maven shook his head and walked off into the town laughing uproariously.
"Ji Shu! I still want that information." Nesilia proclaimed with a demanding tone.
"Song...yes I can trade for that." Ye Yuyan mumbled to himself as he removed a scroll from his robe.
"I've already written information about my scrolls and their origin on here. You can also study it if you so wish." He said coolly but waves of excitement seethed inside of Nesilia as she stared at the scroll.
"Are you serious?!?" She said hesitantly.
"An inheritance for another, a fair deal I would say." Ye Yuyan calmly responded.
"Alright but all I can offer you in the initial stages of Augury and some of my family's history." She said with hope.
"I don't expect any more than that." Ye Yuyan said with a serene smile.
"Then here's what I have." She took out a grimoire labeled "Divination: Augury" and handed it to Ye Yuyan.
"Learn what you can but return it before we leave." She said with a full smile as she took the scroll and went to a room near Han Yi and locked it. Ye Yuyan stood in the hallway by himself and couldn't help but be lost in thought.
'So this is your inheritance, Song Qian' He thought somberly
'Regardless our paths separated then and our sentiments passed with time. All that's left for me is fulfilling my heart's wish.' Ye Yuyan thought as a cold light flashed in his eyes.
