King of Creation Chapter 271 - 271 268 Join

271: Chapter 268: Join 271: Chapter 268: Join “Young Hero Zheng, should I address you as Zheng Ye, or Zheng Fuyun?

Or perhaps, should I just call you by your true na—Ye Zhen?”

Inside the carriage, Hai Luoshuang, the Stars Tower Master of Black Water Kingdom, fixed her gaze on Ye Zhen.

Her beautiful eyes seed capable of seeing through everything about him, leaving no place to hide.

Hai Luoshuang’s words made Ye Zhen stiffen from head to toe, inside and out, his expression imdiately tensed to the extre.

“Young Hero Ye, I must say, you are the boldest person I’ve ever t.

You just killed Zou Zhi, the Sect Elder of Sword Origin Sect, and at a ti when Sword Origin Sect would love nothing more than to flay you alive, you dare to wander around?

Even more perilous, you actually ventured into the main fortress of Phantom Divine Sect in Divine Capital!

Did you not know that Sect Master Fuh Dongxing resides in Divine Capital for at least three months each year?

It is said that the Thousand Illusion Eagle King has promised a hefty reward within the Phantom Divine Sect for your head—100,000 Low Grade Spirit Crystals and one Upper-grade Earth Level Martial Skill.”

If it wasn’t for the lack of your whereabouts, the disciples of Phantom Divine Sect would have sward out long ago.

Young Hero Ye, you’ve bewildered for a long ti.

I have racked my brains and couldn’t figure out that the stunningly talented Young Hero Zheng Ye was indeed your disguise.”

As Hai Luoshuang spoke fluently, listing Ye Zhen’s enemies like the back of her hand, Ye Zhen’s expression gradually relaxed, “You already know all this?”

“Over seventy percent, I’d say.

The deeds of Young Hero Ye that are known publicly, I am aware of.

Young Hero Ye, you’ve really deceived deeply.”

“How did you discover today?”

Ye Zhen felt sowhat disappointed.

He was very confident in the Disguise Technique he had learned from Liu Datong, believing there was no flaw whatsoever.

Yet, unexpectedly, after just one eting, Hai Luoshuang had seen through it.

“Would you believe if I said it was a coincidence mixed with luck?”

Ye Zhen fell silent.

Seeing that Ye Zhen was silent, Hai Luoshuang added, “Actually, the reason I discovered you was because of the ‘Spirit Storage Pill.’

“You specifically inquired about the Spirit Storage Pill to in Three Elents City and even asked about the timing.

I guessed if you were coming, you would appear in Divine Capital in the next day or two.

Just as I passed by, I caught a glimpse of your profile and felt it looked familiar.

Given the sa surna, Zheng, and that you were looking for an invitation, I casually threw an invitation out, and surprisingly, I managed to test it out correctly.” During her speech, Hai Luoshuang chuckled joyfully.

“Did you trick ?” Ye Zhen was astonished.

“I suppose so!”

“You didn’t spot any flaws in my disguise?

And about that invitation, was it real or fake?”

“I must say, Young Master Ye’s disguise skills are extrely ingenious!

Having interacted with Young Master Ye several tis, I still didn’t spot any signs of disguise.

As for the invitation, of course, it was real,” Hai Luoshuang said.

“You weren’t worried about throwing it at the wrong person?

What if that person wasn’t …”

“Hehe, any item from , Hai Luoshuang of the Stars Tower, who would dare to keep it and not return?”

Her face was smiling, but the words she uttered were full of dominance.

“Ah, all right, from today on, I, Ye Zhen, will join Stars Tower!”

Ye Zhen sighed lightly.

Hai Luoshuang handled things too aptly and had helped him several tis without asking for anything in return.

Ye Zhen felt if he didn’t bring up this matter himself, he would be ashad to face Hai Luoshuang again.

“If Young Master Ye is reluctant, there is no need to rush to join Stars Tower!

I do wish to invite Young Master Ye to join Stars Tower, but I hope Young Master Ye will join willingly, not out of a feeling of obligation to express gratitude.”

“I appreciate your help, but simply throwing an invitation I desperately needed isn’t enough to make willingly join Stars Tower.

Joining Stars Tower is bound to benefit my future path in Martial Arts,” Ye Zhen said.

“Of course!

Who would join Stars Tower if there were no benefits?”

“Actually, had I not been aware of Young Master Ye’s true identity beforehand, had I known, Young Master Ye would have probably joined Stars Tower long ago, and I wouldn’t have needed to go through such a big loop.”

“What do you an?” Ye Zhen asked.

“Besides , the Tower Master, the mbers of the Black Dragon Domain branch of Stars Tower include Seventy-two teor, Eighteen Satellites, and Three Great Guardian Stars.

While Seventy-two teor and Eighteen Satellites are not worth ntioning among the Three Great Guardian Stars, there’s one person you should be quite familiar with,” Hai Luoshuang said.

“Who?”

“The Demon-faced Rakshasa, Liao Feibai!”

“Instructor Liao too?” Ye Zhen was sowhat surprised.

Hai Luoshuang was right; had he known earlier that Liao Feibai was also a mber of Stars Tower, he definitely wouldn’t have been so wary of it.

However, this made Ye Zhen even more curious—what could Stars Tower offer to attract such a brilliant talent like Liao Feibai?

“Yes, the Demon-faced Rakshasa, Liao Feibai, is indeed one of our Three Great Guardian Stars.”

“Now, does Young Master Ye join Stars Tower willingly?” Hai Luoshuang asked with a delicate laugh.

Ye Zhen gave a wry smile and nodded his head.

“Young Master Ye, within our Black Dragon Domain Stars Tower, mbers are categorized into teor, Satellite, Guardian Star, and Main Star, each level enjoying different privileges.”

“Young Master Ye had only recently joined the Stars Tower because last ti he made one of the Seventy-two teor, Dong Xuan, unable to admit defeat, which is why he could only beco one of the Seventy-two teor himself,”

“Haha, Young Master Ye, you’d better get off the carriage now, or that girl is going to charge it,”

With a giggle, Hai Luoshuang hurried Ye Zhen out of the carriage, “Young Master Ye, after tomorrow’s auction by the Fragrant Pill King, I will co to find you and officially welco you to the Stars Tower.”

“By the way, here’s another piece of news for you, Young Master Ye, consider it the first benefit of joining the Stars Tower!”

“The Sword Origin Sect doesn’t have my abilities.

It’s said that within the Sword Origin Sect, they unanimously believe that because of Elder Zou Zhi’s pursuit, you have alard the enemy and already returned to the Black Water Kingdom.

Yes, it is said they have dispatched spies to the Black Water Kingdom specifically to track you.”

“Thanks!”

The news from Hai Luoshuang relieved a great burden from within Ye Zhen’s heart.

Ye Zhen had just been wondering about this.

If Hai Luoshuang had discovered him, what about the people from the Sword Origin Sect?

Were they on his trail?

The sound of horse hooves broke the silence as Hai Luoshuang’s luxurious carriage hurried away.

Ye Zhen, sowhat awkwardly touched his nose, wondering how to explain the situation, especially seeing Luluo’s expression, which suggested…

Half-truthful, Ye Zhen managed to smooth things over with Luluo about the Heavenly Invitational.

Actually, telling Luluo about the affairs of the Stars Tower wasn’t a problem, but with Han Tai, it was a bit inconvenient, though Han Tai was quite righteous.

The invitation from Hai Luoshuang that had inadvertently revealed Ye Zhen’s true identity served as another reminder for him.

In this world, there is no disguise technique without flaws.

Ye Zhen, now in the Divine Capital of the Phantom Divine Sect, was essentially running wild under the watchful eyes of the Thousand Illusion Eagle King, dancing on the edge of the knife, he needed to be extrely cautious.

…

What surprised Ye Zhen was, upon returning to their temporary residence in the inn, Han Tai and Luluo each handed him a storage ring.

“Big cousin, at tomorrow’s auction, we can’t let Wen Tianyu look down on us.

You must win the Spirit Storage Pill to show him up.

In this storage ring, are most of my fortunes, well, about a million taels of gold, ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals.”

Just as Ye Zhen was about to decline, Luluo’s eyes flickered sternly, “Don’t think I’m just giving this to you for nothing.

You’ll have to repay this later!

This is what I’ve saved up over many years!””

“Brother Zheng, this is my humble intention, about a million taels of gold, twenty thousand Low Grade Spirit Crystals.

You hold onto this for now, and repay when you can afford to.

You absolutely must win the Spirit Storage Pill; Wen Tianyu is really unbearable,” Han Tai also handed over a storage ring as he spoke.

The wealth in Ye Zhen’s possession for tomorrow’s auction was quite substantial, and besides, Ye Zhen had other plans which likely wouldn’t require the use of the assets offered by Luluo and Han Tai.

However, just as Ye Zhen was about to refuse, he saw the sincere look in Han Tai’s eyes.

Han Tai was a bit simple, but he was indeed sincere.

Ye Zhen suddenly realized that these two storage rings weren’t just ordinary wealth; they were tokens of true friendship—real friendship!

“Alright, I accept!

Tomorrow, for my path in Martial Arts, even if it costs everything, I must win the Spirit Storage Pill!” declared Ye Zhen with resolute determination.

…

Due to the curfew in the Divine Capital, the small-scale auction hosted by the Fragrant Pill King was scheduled to be held before sunset, right within his residence in the Divine Capital.

In the afternoon, while the sun was still high, Ye Zhen, Luluo, and Han Tai entered the Divine Capital again.

One invitation admitted three people, so all three of them were keen to attend this exclusive and prestigious auction to broaden their horizons.

The residence of the Fragrant Pill King had opened its doors early because of the auction, and holders of the Fragrant Pill King’s invitation were naturally treated as VIPs, with personal attendants to usher them in.

Upon entering the flower garden where the auction was being held by the Fragrant Pill King, the garden was already bustling with many guests.

For the auction, the Fragrant Pill King’s servants cleverly divided the garden with plants and curtains into eighteen elegant seats under the trees, each with three seats.

Considering the number of seats, Ye Zhen estimated that the Fragrant Pill King had issued no more than eighteen invitations.

“This way, please.

Your seating area is over here….” a steward guided Ye Zhen and his friends.

“Brother Bu, this way, please!”

Suddenly, a lively voice carried over from the entrance of the garden.

As Ye Zhen looked that way, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his back involuntarily tensed.

Bu Changtian!

Hand Extre Bu Tianchang, who had nearly been killed by Ye Zhen in Qiyun Sect’s airspace because he had sealed his own cultivation, had also arrived.

Startled, Ye Zhen’s gaze turned sharp.

Sensing trouble, his gaze slid aside like flowing water, and taking a deep breath, he quickly regained his composure.

Then, pulling Han Tai and Luluo along, he headed for their designated seating area.

“Hmm?”

Sensing a piercing gaze, the newly arrived Bu Changtian’s gaze hardened as he looked towards the retreating figure of Ye Zhen.
