Chapter 1367: Chapter 1367
Ye Qing finished speaking and directly turned around to walk into the back room.
Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi felt incredibly frustrated; Ye Qing spoke very simply, but in fact, it was all about putting pressure on them, making them deal with those sorcerers. After all, they were here to protect Ye Qing, and they couldn't just stand by and watch as Ye Qing risked his life against those sorcerers.
Moreover, those sorcerers were quite peculiar, and both Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun were well aware of that. Given Ye Qing's strength, if indeed confronted with those sorcerers, the outcome was uncertain.
"Ye Qing, stop right there!" Yin Xianzi sternly stopped Ye Qing.
"What's the matter? Is there anything else?" Ye Qing turned to ask.
Yin Xianzi's face was filled with anger, but she had nowhere to vent it. Taking a deep breath, she said solemnly, "Ye Qing, I'll tell you once more, you'd better not get involved with these sorcerers. They are extremely vengeful, and amongst themselves, they constitute a faction. If you provoke one sorcerer, the others won't let you off either."
Ye Qing nodded and said, "Thanks for the warning, Yin Xianzi."
Seeing Ye Qing continue towards the room, Yin Xianzi anxiously said, "Then... are you still going after these sorcerers?"
"Of course," Ye Qing replied.
"You... why won't you listen to advice?" Yin Xianzi was almost losing it.
"I said it's my business, I appreciate your concern," Ye Qing smiled and said, "If these sorcerers want to seek revenge on me, that's even better. It saves me the trouble of finding them one by one."
Upon hearing this, Yin Xianzi and Ding Lianshun were at a loss for words. They had made it very clear the capabilities of these sorcerers, yet Ye Qing remained indifferent, indicating it was impossible to stop him.
Seeing Ye Qing about to enter the room, Ding Lianshun finally said helplessly, "Ye, come out for a moment."
"Mr. Ding, if there's something to say, please hurry up," Ye Qing walked to the door and said, "I want to settle things here quickly; we still have to catch a flight this afternoon!"
Ding Lianshun said solemnly, "I'm telling you, if you want to deal with this sorcerer, it's impossible for you to leave today!"
Ye Qing asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Because you simply won't be able to find these sorcerers," Ding Lianshun replied.
"Oh," Ye Qing nodded and said, "If we can't leave, then we won't. I'll just stay here and wait. Those sorcerers surely won't just let it pass, right? The child has their cultivated Living Corpse inside him. These sorcerers will definitely come to claim their 'labor' achievements."
Ding Lianshun was left speechless. He had wanted to use time constraints to persuade Ye Qing, but who knew that Ye Qing would be so unyielding. It seemed impossible to dissuade him from this issue.
Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi exchanged a glance, full of resignation, and shook their heads. Yin Xianzi said, "Forget it, we'll handle the sorcerers, just don't confront them alone."
Ye Qing chuckled inwardly. It turned out that by talking to these two for so long, he had pressured them into dealing with the sorcerers. In the end, they compromised, indicating they truly needed him to stay alive.
"Thank you both very much!" Ye Qing replied with a smile.
The two didn't even want to look at Ye Qing. To them, these sorcerers posed no real threat. However, they knew that these sorcerers had been specifically summoned by Heavenly Master Lin Xuan Yue to deal with the Miao Borderlands. If they confronted the sorcerers here, it could jeopardize Heavenly Master Lin Xuan Yue's plans.
Yet, Ye Qing was now using his life as a bargaining chip, leaving the two of them with no choice. They weren't afraid of the sorcerers because of their formidable strength. But Ye Qing was different; if something were to happen to him in front of the sorcerers, all their hard work would be for naught. More importantly, it would ruin Heavenly Master Lin Xuan Yue's years of planning, something they dared not bear.
"Do you two have a plan?" Ye Qing looked at them and smiled, "For example, how to find this sorcerer?"
"There's no need to find him!" Ding Lianshun said sternly, "For something like the Great Food Descent that cultivates Living Corpses inside the body, the sorcerer must come daily to give the inflicted person medication. Otherwise, this food residue would suffice to kill them. I predict the sorcerer will come tonight!"
Ye Qing nodded, realizing that Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi had a good understanding of this sorcery. That was good; with their familiarity, the issue would be more easily resolved, allowing Ye Qing to feel more at ease. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥
"In that case, let's hide here first and wait until the sorcerer arrives in the evening!" Ye Qing said.
Ding Lianshun turned his head to one side, unwilling to pay attention to Ye Qing. Yin Xianzi shook her head and said, "You go inside and hide. The two of us will stay outside. As long as that sorcerer arrives, we can stop him outside."
"That works too, thank you both!" Ye Qing smiled at them, turned around and went back into the room without any politeness.
Watching Ye Qing enter the room, Ding Lianshun immediately turned to look at Yin Xianzi and said in a deep voice, "Call the Heavenly Master and see how to handle this! We can't keep being led by the nose by this guy named Ye!"
Yin Xianzi had already taken out her phone and nodded, "I'll call now!"
The reason they didn't enter the villa was to make a phone call to Heavenly Master Lin Xuan Yue outside.
The phone rang three times, and a gentle voice came from the other end: "Fairy."
Hearing this voice, Yin Xianzi seemed to suddenly feel a sense of relief, exhaled lightly, and said, "Heavenly Master!"
Ding Lianshun stood beside her, hearing Yin Xianzi's words, knowing it was Lin Xuan Yue who answered the call, he finally felt more at ease.
"Tell him what's going on here, ask him if we should injure this guy named Ye heavily first and lock him up for a while?" Ding Lianshun said in a deep voice.
Yin Xianzi nodded and said, "Heavenly Master, there's a little matter here in Huaxia. We need you to make a decision personally."
Yin Xianzi didn't pause, directly recounting the situation with Ye Qing, including how he led them to deal with those mercenaries and sorcerers. Finally, she said in a deep voice, "Heavenly Master, if we keep letting this Ye Qing lead us, who knows whom we'll clash with later. Heavenly Master, do you think we should first imprison Ye Qing? I've discussed with Cyclops, the two of us should be able to control him, preventing him from detonating bombs."
After saying this, Yin Xianzi stopped talking, holding her breath and waiting for Heavenly Master Lin Xuan Yue's response. Next to her, Ding Lianshun was even more anxious. After waiting for a while, seeing no sound from the other side, he couldn't help but say, "Is it really the Heavenly Master who answered the call?"
"Shh!" Yin Xianzi gestured for silence towards Ding Lianshun. After about half a minute, the Heavenly Master's voice finally came: "Something major happened on Tai Island last night!"
"What major event?" Yin Xianzi asked in surprise. With Heavenly Master Lin Xuan Yue personally overseeing Tai Island, what could be deemed a major event by him?
"The Heaven Earth Man Tri-Map has started moving," the Heavenly Master said softly.
"What!?" Yin Xianzi exclaimed, stunned.
"What happened? What happened?" Ding Lianshun repeatedly asked aside. Unable to hear the phone's conversation, seeing Yin Xianzi's expression, he was naturally extremely curious.
"The... the Heaven Earth Man Tri-Map has... all moved?" Yin Xianzi asked, trembling.
"The Heaven Earth Man Tri-Map has moved!?" Ding Lianshun also exclaimed, fully aware of the significance.
Whenever the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates are opened, two items are necessary: one item is the seven keys held by the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance, crucial for opening the door. The other item is the Heaven Earth Man Tri-Map held by the Twelve Green Halls. The Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance have the keys, but without knowing the location of Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, just having the keys is futile. The Heaven Earth Man Tri-Map held by the Twelve Green Halls is the map for these three gates. Before the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates open, these three maps will show routes, which is very peculiar and consistent. It can be said, as long as these three maps display routes, the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates will open. This has never changed over thousands of years.
And now, since the Heaven Earth Man Tri-Map has moved, it indicates the route on it is about to be revealed, showing the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates are about to open. This is indeed a tremendous event. No wonder Yin Xianzi was shocked, even Ding Lianshun felt the same shock!
"What the movement of these three maps signifies, I don't have to explain, right?" Heavenly Master Lin Xuan Yue softly said, "The Heaven Earth Man Tri-Map's movement heralds the impending re-emergence of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates. This won't take long, at most a year, at least a month, and the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates will appear."
Yin Xianzi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Heavenly Master, if there is only a month, the time is a bit short. Our forces haven't entered Huaxia yet, and Divine Doctor An Shiping's legacy hasn't been successfully passed to Ning Qianshu. Our odds of winning aren't very high!"
"I know!" Heavenly Master Lin Xuan Yue calmly said, "But you don't need to worry. Not enough preparation in a month; the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance have also prepared inadequately. When it comes down to it, our winning chances greatly exceed theirs. Now, the most troublesome is not the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance, but rather some forces we haven't considered before!"
"What forces?" Yin Xianzi asked curiously.
Lin Xuan Yue was slightly silent for a moment and then said, "These sorcerers from Nanyang, I underestimated their power. I didn't expect they found the Corpse Ghost Dragon, who faked death thirty years ago."
