275: Chapter 275 Li Jingzhong, Reforming the Capital
"Elder Ri, what happened?" Xiao Yujie stood up abruptly from the main seat, anxiously helping Elder Ri up.
"Sect Master, there is a great terror in the Water Pavilion Courtyard. Do not go there, whatever you do. Also, that youth named Yun Tian has an unparalleled expert by his side; it is terrifyingly powerful."
Elder Ri spoke briefly, his head tilted to one side, and his aura of life dissipated.
"Yun Tian, I swear I will not be human if I do not kill you!" Xiao Yujie said coldly.
Black Seal City!
Hun Tiandi, wearing a cyan robe with a delicate face, revealed a faint smile as he strolled through the streets.
Since stepping into the Black-Corner Region, he had not yet browsed carefully. Following beside him, the purple-clad Qing Yue stood obediently behind Hun Tiandi.
"Qing Yue, why were you captured and sent to the auction house?" Hun Tiandi asked indifferently.
"Young Master, I am a descendant of humans and Snake-People. I possess the bloodlines of both, but neither the Snake-People nor the humans acknowledge me!"
"I could only wander everywhere. One day, people from the Mo Tie Mercenary Group captured me and sent me to the Heiyin Auction House!"
Qing Yue's timid voice rang in his ears.
"If Young Master hadn't saved me, I might have already become someone else's plaything..."
Hearing this, Hun Tiandi paused. He had not expected Qing Yue to be a descendant of a Snake-Person and a human. Generally, it was considered lucky for a descendant of Snake-People to survive past the age of thirteen or fourteen.
But looking at Qing Yue, who seemed to be fifteen or sixteen years old, it seemed she had suffered quite a bit.
"Oh? Qing Yue, what is your Dou Qi attribute?" Hun Tiandi asked again.
"Wind attribute!" Qing Yue said timidly. In his perception, she was at the ninth stage of Dou Zhi Qi. It was likely due to a lack of cultivation techniques that she could not become a true Dou Practitioner.
"Qing Yue, do you want to become strong?"
"To become a free expert..."
"Young Master, Qing Yue is willing, but it is a pity that I have no matching cultivation technique. All these years, I could only keep training to strengthen my physique!"
Qing Yue said cautiously.
"Young Master will give you an opportunity, you must grasp it well!" Immediately, Hun Tiandi turned around abruptly and flipped his hand, taking out two scrolls.
The first was a cyan scroll, a Di-rank high-level cultivation technique: Taiqing Gale Technique. It was a high-level wind attribute cultivation technique, and it even came with a set of wind attribute Dou Techniques.
This was naturally something he had bought at the auction house.
He had not expected to use it on Qing Yue so soon. It was fine; he wanted to see just how far Qing Yue could go.
The second white scroll was a secret method for magical beasts to purify their own bloodlines, which he had previously taught to the Golden Snake King and Feng Qing'er.
Now Qing Yue was the third. Since she possessed the Snake-Person bloodline, Hun Tiandi had provided the opportunity; the rest depended on her own fortune.
Earlier, he had noticed faint, purplish scales on Qing Yue's fair arms.
If Hun Tiandi was not mistaken, they should be snake scales.
He took out a medium-grade storage ring and handed it to Qing Yue, to be used for storing items.
"Many thanks, Young Master!" Qing Yue said happily.
"Little bastard, you dare to steal? You are truly courting death!" Suddenly, a noisy commotion came from afar, where seven or eight ferocious big men were continuously beating a youth lying on the ground.
However, the youth gritted his teeth, protecting his head with both hands, tightly guarding a steamed bun in his arms.
Blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth, and deep within his eyes flowed gloom.
His face was gaunt and his gaze was gloomy. Hun Tiandi's soul power was incredibly keen, and he naturally noticed the difference in the youth.
This youth was somewhat interesting.
Hum!
Hun Tiandi flicked his sleeve, and a burst of force erupted, sweeping across the ground towards the seven or eight people, causing them to stagger backward.
"Who are you? Meddling in other people's business?" One of the middle-aged men shouted hoarsely.
He threw a bag of gold coins into the air, and it landed in the man's hand.
"Little bastard, consider yourself lucky today that someone is helping you!" He then turned and left.
The youth on the ground looked up at Hun Tiandi, his eyes filled with confusion. With a faint smile, Hun Tiandi took Qing Yue and left.
The youth staggered to his feet, holding the bun in his hand, watching the direction in which the two had left.
Hu!
He let out a soft breath, pondered for a moment, and instead of leaving, he followed behind them.
"Young Master, that youth has been following us all the way..." Suddenly, Qing Yue spoke with a lack of confidence. Hearing this, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Hun Tiandi's mouth.
The two continued to stroll, and the youth followed the whole way.
"Yun Tian, you have finally come out. This young master has been waiting for you for a long time!" Suddenly, a cold voice rang out from the front. Looking up, it was indeed Xiao Yujie.
He was followed by six experts, protecting him personally.
It turned out that ever since Elder Ri died in the Xiao Sect, Xiao Yujie had sent people to keep an eye on Hun Tiandi's movements.
He had not expected that as soon as he went out today, he would immediately receive the message.
"Sect Master Xiao, are you trying to surround and kill me? Do you want the Xiao Sect to be destroyed?" Hun Tiandi was not afraid in the least and responded toughly.
Whoosh...
Suddenly, Po Jun and others rushed over from afar, landing behind Hun Tiandi in the blink of an eye.
"Po Jun, you dare to betray the Xiao Sect? Do you not know the terror of the sect rules?" Xiao Yujie was furious when he saw Po Jun, who had followed Elder Yue to surround and kill him that day.
"Hmph, that does not require Sect Master Xiao's concern!" Po Jun said stiffly.
"Sect Master, let's retreat first. We are not his match!" Someone behind Xiao Yujie spoke up.
"Yun Tian, I will not let you off!" After Xiao Yujie threatened him with two sentences, he immediately took his people and left.
Hun Tiandi revealed a smile. He had not intended to have a conflict with the Xiao Sect right now; this involved the Jia Nan Academy...
Bang!
The previous youth fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowing continuously until his forehead bled. He spoke in a thin, shrill voice, which sounded like a woman's voice.
Hearing it made one's skin crawl.
The youth said: "Please teach me skills, and my life will belong to you from now on!"
Having seen that scene earlier, how could he, living in the Black-Corner Region, not know the great name of the Xiao Sect? Yet, he still retreated in front of this benefactor.
This was his only chance to change his fate, and he absolutely could not give it up.
"What is your name?" Hun Tiandi asked, waving his hand to dismiss Po Jun and the others.
"Li Jingzhong!" The youth's face was gaunt, his eyes gloomy, flashing with a trace of bloodthirsty, dark green.
"Then are you willing to let me brand a restriction on your soul..." Hun Tiandi said slowly.
"Naturally, my life belongs to you; you can take it at any time!" Li Jingzhong immediately knelt and kowtowed.
Subsequently, after Hun Tiandi planted the Blood Spirit Seal on Li Jingzhong, he took Qing Yue and Li Jingzhong away, heading in the direction of the Water Pavilion Courtyard.
After the commotion caused by Xiao Yujie, he really had no mood to go shopping.
Black Seal City was undergoing large-scale renovation, creating a place to establish a faction, and building a huge mansion city. Fortunately, Hun Tiandi had deep financial resources, combined with the full assistance of Yuan Yi, City Lord.
It was fine to leave these matters to his subordinates; this was the advantage of establishing a faction.
It was quite difficult at the beginning, but it would be easier once it passed.
Everything proceeded in an orderly manner, advancing according to the plan.
According to Li Jingzhong's disclosure, he was born a eunuch, that is, a natural eunuch. Upon learning this, Hun Tiandi passed him a cultivation technique suitable for him.
A cultivation technique exclusive to him, matching his constitution.
Furthermore, Hun Tiandi arranged for Li Jingzhong to enter the Time Tower to cultivate, and Qing Yue also entered the Time Tower. Medicinal pills and spirit wine, all resources were tilted towards the two of them.
