197: Visit to the Holy Land of Extreme Yin

Ancient Martial Emperor City, a courtyard under Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

At this moment, A Hui was feasting.

"Niu Ge, I didn't realize you could eat so much. Why didn't I see you eat like this in the clan?"

Watching A Hui devour his food, Young Master Qian couldn't help but ask.

"Uh, you can't compare!"

A Hui shook his head, "Although there's food in the clan, the taste is just average compared to Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Besides, the chefs in the clan struggle to handle even Emperor-Grade ingredients, let alone Saint-Grade ingredients!"

Young Master Qian stroked his chin upon hearing this.

He felt A Hui had a point. The Xu Family was an Emperor Sect, but in terms of enjoyment, they probably couldn't even compare to an ordinary Holy Land.

If... he decided to recruit a group of chefs on this trip, select a few, and have them serve as the Clan Chief's personal chefs.

And so, this matter was added to his plan.

"Thump thump thump!"

Just then, a knock on the door sounded, interrupting Young Master Qian's thoughts.

"A Saint King!"

With a sweep of his Divine Thought, A Hui couldn't help but say.

A look of surprise appeared on Young Master Qian's face.

It wasn't an attendant from Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Thinking of something, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

He waved his hand towards the door, and it swung open.

"Your Excellency, you didn't knock on the wrong door, did you?"

Young Master Qian asked with a smile, then sized up the person. This was an unremarkable middle-aged man.

"Naturally not!" The middle-aged man bowed, "I am Cong Wu, greetings, Young Master Qian!"

"You are from Extreme Yin Holy Land?"

Young Master Qian asked.

Cong Wu's heart trembled upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Young Master Qian to see through his identity at a glance.

Seeing this, Young Master Qian smiled, then turned and walked towards the main hall.

Cong Wu was startled, quickly understood, and hurriedly closed the door, following behind Young Master Qian.

As he passed A Hui, he quickly bowed to him.

"Speak! Your intentions!"

Arriving at the reception room, Young Master Qian went straight to the point.

"Young Master Qian is indeed straightforward! Then I won't beat around the bush!"

As Cong Wu's voice fell, his storage ring gleamed, and an ancient jade box appeared in his hand.

Young Master Qian was surprised. This jade box was actually made of Eternal Cold Jade. Such cold jade could not form in less than a million years, so it was extremely valuable.

And now it was only used as a container, clearly the item inside was extremely precious.

"This is?" Young Master Qian asked curiously.

Cong Wu opened the jade box, revealing a pure white, jade-like fruit inside. As soon as it appeared, the entire main hall grew cold.

"Young Master Qian, this is a wondrous fruit cultivated by my Extreme Yin Holy Land. Its growth conditions are extremely harsh, costing countless resources and taking a hundred thousand years to cultivate, and even then, it's not guaranteed to produce a single one like this. However, just one of these can allow a Saint King Martial Artist to Breakthrough to the Saint Emperor Realm!"

"This is a small gift from my Holy Master to you, and later my Holy Master will present an even greater gift!" Cong Wu said with a smiling face.

Young Master Qian's face showed a faint smile upon hearing this.

This was the scale of things; a treasure capable of a Breakthrough to the Saint Emperor Realm was merely a "small gift" in his words.

Although Saint Monarch powerhouses were considered strong in the Emperor Domain, Saint Emperors should not be underestimated. Such figures were core Elders in the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect, and in an ordinary Holy Land, they would be Holy Master-level existences.

"I don't want to hear nonsense!"

Although Young Master Qian was smiling, his words made Cong Wu's heart tremble. He heard impatience in them.

Cong Wu closed the jade box, then placed it on the table, saying with an apologetic smile, "Young Master Qian, actually, my Holy Master heard about your encounter in the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect, and thus wishes to meet with you."

"What? Is Extreme Yin Holy Land abandoning Nether God Holy Land to pledge allegiance to our clan?" Young Master Qian asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Cong Wu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly laughed, "Young Master Qian is joking, that is certainly not the case! Actually, that person from Nether God Holy Land wishes to get to know your clan."

"But because of the Quasi-Emperor in the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect, that's why my Extreme Yin Holy Land stepped forward to invite Young Master to Jiyin Island!"

Young Master Qian smiled inwardly upon hearing this, but said outwardly, "So that's it. However, this Young Master has other matters, let's discuss it after this is done!"

Cong Wu's heart stirred upon hearing this, "May I ask if Young Master needs anything from my Extreme Yin Holy Land? Just say the word, my Extreme Yin Holy Land is willing to contribute!"

"Heh heh!" Young Master Qian smiled, then his eyes turned cold, "Naturally, it's to destroy the Ancient Martial Emperor Sect!"

"A mere Emperor Sect dares to disobey our clan's orders, it should be annihilated!"

Cong Wu was shocked upon hearing this, and a look of terror appeared in the depths of his pupils.

"Alright! I've accepted the gift. Your Extreme Yin Holy Land is quite interesting. Once this matter is settled, this Young Master will descend upon Jiyin Island!" Young Master Qian patted the jade box, smiling.

"Jiyin Island welcomes Young Master's esteemed presence. If you need anything from Jiyin Island, Young Master can simply send me a message!"

Cong Wu suppressed the shock in his heart, presented a Jade Slip, and then took his leave.

Young Master Qian did not speak. Cong Wu understood, bowed and retreated ten steps before turning to leave the reception room. As he passed through the courtyard, he bowed to A Hui again before departing.

"Did you hear what was said just now?" Young Master Qian came to A Hui's side.

"Of course I heard! Isn't it just relaying a message?" A Hui looked puzzled.

"If it were just a simple message, that would be good!"

Young Master Qian smiled meaningfully.

"Is it not?" A Hui frowned.

"Of course not!" Young Master Qian shook his head, "Extreme Yin Holy Land wants to break away from Nether God Holy Land!"

"How did you figure that out?"

A Hui was startled, even forgetting to eat the jade-scaled rhino meat in his hand.

"Just now, as soon as Cong Wu arrived, he presented the Extreme Yin Fruit, and then said there would be another heavy gift. This is clearly speaking on behalf of Extreme Yin Holy Land!"

"If they were truly relaying a message for Nether God Holy Land, they wouldn't mention Extreme Yin Holy Land, but Nether God Holy Land! And his subsequent words even said that Extreme Yin Holy Land was willing to serve us!"

"Tell me, if they were loyal to Nether God Holy Land, how could they say such words? So I conclude that Extreme Yin Holy Land definitely wants to break away from Nether God Holy Land. It's just that in the past, because Nether God Holy Land was powerful, they saw no hope."

Young Master Qian's eyes were full of wisdom.

A Hui's head ached from listening.

"You Human Race just like to beat around the bush! Unlike us, if we're unhappy, we fight. At worst, we die!" A Hui said.

Young Master Qian heard this and couldn't help but say, "Is that so? Then aren't you also..."

He suddenly stopped there.

He had heard Xu Qing mention it and knew that A Hui's clan had submitted to a major power in the Netherworld.

A Hui was usually carefree, but at this moment, he was silent. After a moment, he slowly spoke.

"You don't understand! When encountering such an existence, even a Great Emperor can only bow down!"

"There are some things even I don't know much about. I only know that we don't even have the right to resist."

Young Master Qian's heart trembled. There were even things a Great Emperor couldn't handle?

"What about this Extreme Yin Holy Land?" A Hui changed the subject.

"They're a good enforcer. If used properly, they might be a good hand to counter Nether God Holy Land. But I need to first know why they want to betray Nether God Holy Land!"

"If it's because of ambition, then destroy them. If it's for other reasons, I might consider it."

Young Master Qian was decisive, acting as soon as he thought of something!

"Niu Ge, after dinner, come with me to Heavens Secret Pavilion!"

"If anyone in this Eternal Continent has the strongest intelligence capabilities, it must be these divine calculators!"

Young Master Qian's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Alright!"

A Hui quickly devoured the delicacies on the table like a whirlwind.

Young Master Qian watched this scene, a slight smile on his face.
