“How are those two?” Mu Rundong’s brow furrowed, a trace of caution flashing through his heart as he inquired.
“It seems someone saved them!” Hearing this, Yu Mo’s brow furrowed.
“Who saved them?” A trace of surprise flashed through Mu Rundong’s eyes as he asked.
“That person calls himself Qin Yichen…” The guard promptly answered.
“Qin Yichen?” Hearing this name, Dong Yu suddenly stood up from his chair, then strode quickly toward the outside.
“Qin Yichen? Could it be the person Manager Dong Yu has been waiting for?”
“Should be him!”
“*Siii…* Those attacking the merchant caravans are at least Late Stage Martial Emperors. I never expected him to be this formidable!” Seeing Dong Yu’s actions, whispered discussions immediately arose throughout the hall.
“Qin Yichen?” Yu Mo murmured the name inwardly, finding it seemed familiar from some intelligence report, but couldn’t recall it for the moment.
“*Hmph.* I want to see who has such ability!” Yu Mo snorted coldly in his heart, directly standing in place, his gaze fixed on the outer courtyard entrance.
After a moment, led by Dong Yu, four figures slowly walked in from outside. When seeing the two somewhat shaken merchants, Yu Mo’s expression instantly darkened.
Just moments ago, he had been warning Mu Rundong that without joining their Sacred Land’s merchant caravans, none would survive. Yet how long had it been since those words left his mouth? Two lucky escapees had already appeared to slap his face!
Yu Mo’s gaze then fell upon Qin Yichen.
“Early Stage Martial Emperor Realm?” After a moment, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
How could an Early Stage Martial Emperor Realm youth possibly rescue people from those he had sent?
That was absolutely impossible!
He knew very well the strength of those he had dispatched. Forget an Early Stage Martial Emperor, even a Peak Stage Martial Emperor would struggle to rescue anyone from their hands.
“Manager.” Qin Yichen pulled Feng Qianxue along, walking directly before Dong Yu.
“You brat…” Dong Yu was about to reprimand him, but seeing Yu Mo to the side, forcibly swallowed his words. “e with me!”
With that, he walked toward a side room.
A trace of confusion flashed through Qin Yichen’s eyes. He merely glanced at the oddly-plexioned Yu Mo before pulling Feng Qianxue along and following.
“Hm, could this brat be an Alchemist?” Seeing him follow Dong Yu away, a trace of surprise flashed through Yu Mo’s eyes, though he did not pay too much attention to it.
*Hmph!* However, he could not remain here any longer. His heart urgently wanted to know what exactly had happened. Why were there still survivors!?
…
Upon entering the room, Dong Yu quickly closed the door.
“You brat, you are too reckless! Do you know what you’re doing!?”
He immediately reprimanded, his face written with tension and urgency.
“What? I…” Seeing his tension, Qin Yichen seemed to understand something.
Clearly, those attacking the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s merchant caravans must be from one of the other two great Sacred Lands.
And though the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land knew, they could only choose to endure…
This was the sorrow of the weak!
“Brother Yichen…” Feng Qianxue was also frightened by the oppressive atmosphere in the room, growing somewhat nervous.
“Don’t worry, it’s fine.” Qin Yichen held her small hand, forting her.
He had caused trouble!
But in his heart, he did not regret saving those two.
He could not just watch people from his own Sacred Land being trampled by others!
Dong Yu paced back and forth in the room. After a long while, he finally stopped, saying to Qin Yichen, “No, you can’t stay here. You must immediately return to the Sacred Land with me!”
“But…”
Qin Yichen’s brow furrowed slightly.
He sensed that the Sacred Land had encountered unprecedented trouble.
“No buts!” Dong Yu’s expression turned solemn.
He had brought Qin Yichen out, and he had to bring Qin Yichen back intact!
pared to the Sacred Land’s current losses, he felt protecting Qin Yichen’s safety was far more important.
Qin Yichen was a Heavenly Martial Artist! The bat power of a Fully Acplished Heavenly Martial Artist was plain for all to see.
“Hm…” At this moment, Dong Yu also noticed the somewhat timid Feng Qianxue beside him. “Is this the person you wanted to bring into the Sacred Land?”
He keenly perceived that within Feng Qianxue’s body, there was a terrifying energy fluctuation, though he could not discern what it was.
“Yes.” Qin Yichen nodded.
He had forsaken the reward the Sacred Land might have given him, all to keep Feng Qianxue by his side.
“Alright.” Dong Yu did not ask any further questions. Instead, he took out a piece of Divine Jade and handed it to Qin Yichen. “This is her Divine Jade. When you enter the Sacred Land, take her to register.”
“Thank you for your trouble, Manager.” After Qin Yichen received the Divine Jade, he passed it to Feng Qianxue, teaching her how to use it.
Without this item, one could not even enter the Sacred Land.
Afterward, Dong Yu stood restlessly, unable to stop for a moment. He found Mu Rundong, explained the reason, and requested that Mu Rundong assign additional personnel to acpany him in escorting Qin Yichen back.
“Fine, I’ll make arrangements immediately. I’ll have Mo Yuan and Mo Wen, those two Brothers, escort together. Now you should be satisfied.”
Mu Rundong was somewhat puzzled why Dong Yu was so anxious about Qin Yichen. However, toward this Outer Sect’s Northern Brilliant Hall Manager, he remained acmodating.
He currently needed plenty of Pills while out of the Sacred Land.
Especially Pills from the Sacred Land. In the outside world, those were extremely popular and manded high prices.
However, generally speaking, Pills from the Sacred Land were for Sacred Land members’ use and unlikely to be sold outside.
“Mo Yuan and Mo Wen?”
Dong Yu rubbed his brow.
He knew these two’s strengths. Both Peak Stage Martial Emperors. With them along, unless a Martial Ancestor made a move, they should be prepared for any contingency.
Yet he still felt uneasy.
“No, I think you need to make this trip with me personally.” He spoke to Mu Rundong with utter seriousness.
“This…” Mu Rundong’s brow could not help but furrow.
Dong Yu was making things difficult. He was the Saints City Manager. With so many incidents occurring now, he had to remain stationed in Saints City. Otherwise, the consequences would only worsen!
However, seeing Dong Yu’s utterly serious expression, Mu Rundong, who’d been about to refuse, couldn’t help but grow curious. “Brother Dong, he’s just a rising talent. Surely he doesn’t require me to personally escort him, no?”
Though he had heard some things about Qin Yichen, it still had not reached the level requiring his personal escort.
“Brother Mu, there are some matters I can’t conveniently tell you now. However, do you know why he appeared here this time?” After confirming no one was around, Dong Yu lowered his voice.
“Why?”
“Because not only did the Hall Master personally summon him, but also granted him a Sacred Land entry quota!” Dong Yu’s latter statement directly made Mu Rundong’s heart tremble.
