Chapter 502, Mistakenly entered

The disciples of the Greater One Sect were scattered across the ground, whining and groaning, covered with injuries, their face distorted from pain, and were unable to get back up.

Ye Qingyu was standing in the middle of this group of people. 

Besides the slashes across his white clothes because of the cicada wing throwing knife, he was completely unwounded. 

His black hair was like waterfall, his white clothes flawless, his figure was tall and slender, standing motionless and straight as a javelin. Under the golden sunlight coming through the huge window, Ye Qingyu was as though draped in a layer of shining gold armour, exhibiting an indescribable imposing manner and charm.  

“A group of bad guests dares to bark.” 

Ye Qingyu slowly walked out from a heap of gourd-like Greater One Sect disciples, looking at Lin Zheng, Li Guangbi and the others as he said, “These guys have evil intentions, I see that they may not really represent the Clear River Domain and the Greater One Sect. There’s no need to discuss the business of the domains with them, it would be better to arrest them, and deal with them later.”

Lin Zheng and other people exchanged glances, and also nodded.

Under such circumstances, it was the only way. 

In this world where the strong is the leader, any signs of weakness or apology and one would not really get respect.

Sometimes, you must be tough. 

An order was issued down. 

Very soon there were Imperial guard experts coming in, restraining the several Greater One Sect disciples in formation refined gold shackles, planting a seal using the Imperial guards secret technique, temporarily sealing their yuan qi, and causing their strength to plummet, and then took them all away. 

Within the Imperial guards camp, there was a secret gold prison created by several gold-refining formation masters of the Imperial household.

The Greater One Sect disciples were all imprisoned separately. 

This was considered a temporary end to the matter. 

How to deal with these Greater One Sect disciples was something that Lin Zheng and the others needed to worry about. Ye Qingyu did not say anything else, but he could roughly guess that, given Lin Zheng’s nature and that these Greater One Sect disciples had become prisoners, they certainly would not be given any good treatment and most likely could not escape from a strict interrogation with torture. 

Since the skin has been torn, Lin Zheng no longer had any scruples about anything. 

The most important thing at present was to find out the situation of Clear River Domain’s Greater One Sect and other domains from these disciples of Greater One Sect. 

Of course, all the things that happened in the main tent today, including the arrival o the Greater One Sect disciples, were extremely confidential. They were not allowed to disclose the slightest information, Before Ye Qingyu turned away, he reminded them again that they must not expose the fact that he had helped out today.

……

As soon as he returned to his residence, Ye Qingyu closed the door and began training.

Ever since the Battle of Light City, the impression that Ye Qingyu had left on the others was that his foundation had been destroyed and his body was weak. Ye Qingyu, under the temporarily conditions of being unable to use his yuan qi, began to refine a new fighting method, especially since his physical strength had rocketed. How to fight against experts was a problem that he had been thinking about all this time. 

Today, the fight against the Greater One Sect disciples was on one hand to stand up for the Imperial guards, to suppress the arrogance of these foreign domain people, and on the other hand was to train up his own body, to try new ways of fighting. 

He was satisfied with the results.

The Greater One Sect disciples were almost all struck down to the ground by his fist and foot, the most primitive way of fighting. During the process where every punches bites, the wild and lawless feeling made Ye Qingyu feel his blood was racing. He felt like he had a new intuitive understanding of the current strength of his body.

Ye Qingyu was very confident that, based on physical strength alone, there was most likely no one in the entire Heaven Wasteland Domain that could match up to him. 

Even though he smashed peak treasure weapons with purely his body, Ye Qingyu did not feel the slightest pressure. When that cicada wing knife slashed across his body, it was just like being struck by a wooden stick. In other words, Ye Qingyu’s current physical strength was far more frightening than those peak treasure weapons. 

Ye Qingyu himself was now a humanoid Dao weapon. 

This was under the premise that he had not activated the [True Will of the Sky Dragon] and had not transformed into a dragon.

If he transformed into a dragon, what sort of level would the strength of his body reach? 

Ye Qingyu himself also did not know. 

Of course, this did not mean that when his physical strength reaches this sort of level, he would become invincible.

After all, the mainstream martial arts of this world was the cultivation of formation yuan qi, no matter how strong his body gets, there was no way he could activate formations, treasured weapons or Dao weapons, and could not reach the flying speed of real yuan qi experts. 

 Just like today, the Greater One Sect disciples were also perplexed.

If they had not chosen to fight and instead turned away and fled, there would have been nothing that Ye Qingyu could do.

Even though he could leap up thousands of meters and climb the mountains, there was no way he could catch up to his opponents. 

“There has to be a way to make up for my weakness in this area.” 

Ye Qingyu pondered

In addition, from today’s battle, Ye Qingyu once again felt the importance of weapons.

Those Greater One Sect disciples were not only young and powerful, but each one of them possessed a treasure weapon. This was their capital. If he encountered an opponent of the same level, on the basis of this treasure weapon, they instantly would have the advantage.

This made Ye Qingyu a little alarmed.

These Greater One Sect disciples, although extremely strong, were hot tempered and did not have the mental state and shrewdness that matched with their own strength. Adding to this, their experiences in battle were evidently lacking. If the Clear River Domain really was a mature domain, if the Greater One Sect really was a powerful-leader-like sect of the Clear River Domain, then there was one thing that he could be absolutely sure of—— 

The disciples that appeared in Heaven Wasteland Domain were by no means the core elite disciples of the Greater One Sect.

This conclusion was even more nerve-racking. 

Such a group of people was not the core disciples, then how much more terrifying would the real core disciples of Greater One Sect be? 

Those non-core disciples were all wielding a peak treasure weapon, then what kind of weapons would the core disciples of Greater One Sect have? Dao weapons? Saint weapons? 

If there really were Greater One Sect experts and they carried sacred weapons, how could he contend against them with his physical strength alone?

Ye Qingyu asked himself.

He had no confidence.

Even if he wanted to rapidly improve the strength and cultivation of martial artists of Heaven Wasteland Domain, it was obviously not realistic, but if the top experts of Snow Empire had some top weapons, it should reduce a lot of pressure. 

Ye Qingyu sat crossed legged and began to continue cultivating.

His mind, sank into the [Cloud Top  Cauldron], joining with the part of his mind in it and continuing to observe the writings and mural on the walls of the [Cloud Top Cauldron], constantly improving the strength of his mind.

……

In the next few days, within a radius of 300 miles of Light City, the outside was relaxed and the inside was tensed. 

Ye Qingyu had been practicing in seclusion.

And Lin Zheng was indeed as Ye Qingyu expected, subjected the Greater One Dect disciples to questioning via torture. 

For a ruthless person such as Lin Zheng, interrogating these highly ambitious but lowly Greater One Dect disciples was simply too simple. These Greater One Dect disciples, although strong, but their experience were really much worse than a white paper, like a group of green shoots growing out of a greenhouse. How could they stand up to a fierce and formidable person like Lin Zheng?

In less than a few days, Lin Zheng had gathered and understood the structure and inside information of the Clear River Domain from the Greater One Sect disciples.

When Ye Qingyu came out, he also received a related Imperial bulletin. 

Lin Zheng told Gao Han to send it over. 

Ye Qingyu read the Imperial bulletin, gaining a general understanding of things over these past few days. 

“So, these Greater One Sect disciples did not intentionally come to Heaven Wasteland Domain through the [Domain’s Heavenly Walls], but because they mistakenly entered the space-time cracks during a training session and accidentally came to Heaven Wasteland Domain through the [Domain’s Heavenly Walls]?” Ye Qingyu slowly folded up the bulletin.   

Gao Han nodded. “That’s correct, when the Right Minster interrogated the Greater One Sect disciples, other people of the [Light Palace] were also invited over to listen. I also participated. Right Minister’s methods were indeed amazing. This information was gathered from different Greater One Sect disciples. It had been carefully checked many times, there should be no mistake.”

“In other words, the Greater One Sect is really one of the very best Human Race sects of Clear River Domain?” Ye Qingyu nodded. “Clear River Domain is a mature domain, and the Greater One Sect is one of the best sects of the Human Race, but among the entire Clear River Domain, it is not any impressive power. In the Clear River Domain the Demon Race runs rampant and the Demon Race are seen as the main pillars. This training session was Clear River Domain’s Heavenly Gate test. During the training process, they were chased by the Demon Spider Race and fled into Heaven Wasteland Domain?” 

“According to their statements, it seems so.” Gao Han carefully reported back the whole procedure of the interrogation.

Ever since the battle in the Imperial guards camp, Gao Han worshipped Ye Qingyu this young leader at the deepest level.

Now, he basically believed that no matter what situation they ran into, there was nothing that Palace Lord Ye could not solve.

All that was impossible, all the things that should not have happened, seemed to have become the norm with Palace Lord Ye.

After Gao Han reported back the collected information, he added, “From these Greater One Sect disciples’ statements, although Greater One Sect is a large sect of the Human Race, its conduct and actions are in any way no different to those of the Demon Race. They are ruthless, reeking of blood, cold hearted and have no sense of human racial responsibility. The civilians of Clear River Domain also do not receive protection or assistance from the Greater One Sect.”

Ye Qingyu nodded. “This can be seen clearly from the words and actions of the Greater One Sect disciples.”

After a pause, Ye Qingyu added, “Since they mistakenly stepped into Heaven Wasteland Domain, then this Greater One Sect is nothing to worry about. Their masters also would not come over so soon... We have plenty of time to prepare.”

As he was saying this, suddenly there was a sergeant dashing over. 

“Palace Lord, Right Minister asks to see you, he has important matters to discuss.” A light soldier knelt down on one knee.

Ye Qingyu was slightly startled. 

What was happening now?
