Chapter 493: Chapter 50: Yao Wudi (End of this Volu)_4
Atop the city wall, Wang Ba stood agape.
Watching Yao Wudi’s fight, effortlessly crushing his opponents.
He felt a shiver course through his body!
It wasn’t fear, but… exhilaration!
A satisfaction that ca from expressing his feelings openly!
A confidence that knew no fear!
He blinked in astonishnt, then like a young boy, couldn’t help but throw his arm up and shout with all his might:
“Master, Invincible!”
This was the first ti he had been so brazen in his many years of cultivation!
It was as if he wanted to vent out all the suppressed feelings accumulated over the years of running around and holding his tongue.
Hearing Wang Ba’s heartfelt shout, Yao Wudi broke into joyful laughter:
“Ha ha! Just a small scene, a small scene!”
While speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared, appearing above the well below.
Xue Yan was terrified!
The well instantly turned into a shadow and quickly faded away.
But Yao Wudi just extended his hand and directly pulled Xue Yan out of the shadow.
Then he tightly clenched his hand!
Xue Yan’s eyes popped open and just within a mont, his body turned into a wisp of cyan smoke, like the previous cultivators, and drifted away with the wind.
With Xue Yan’s fall.
In the sky, the brief but extraordinary blood rain that had been brewing finally rushed down like a tsunami!
It was only then that Wang Ba realized, within a few short monts, there wasn’t a single surviving fourth-class Incense-burning Dao Cultivator in the sky.
It was as if the dozen or so Incense-burning Dao Cultivators who had just been besieging Tang Ji, were just an illusion.
But when he looked at Li Xiangyun inside the city gate, dumbstruck, and Tang Ji who had escaped but could not help opening his mouth wide, he realized, it was not an illusion.
At this point, figures suddenly flew from the horizon!
They arrived very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they abruptly stopped above Yanqiao Pass.
The man leading them was dressed in a python robe, his appearance sowhat resembling Prince Gao.
“Prince You?”
Tang Ji imdiately recognized the man, it was Prince You from the royal family of Chu Dynasty, Prince Gao’s Uncle Wang.
However, Prince You at the mont showed none of his previous calm, his eyes quickly sweeping over the terrible battlefield around Yanqiao Pass and the bones of so Nascent Souls and fourth-class cultivators, the nearly solidified aura of death lingering in the air, he couldn’t hide the shock in his eyes!
“So many…”
The heads of so clans behind him, seeing the bodies below, were lost for words.
They simply couldn’t imagine how fierce the battle here had been.
Prince You’s gaze lingered briefly on Tang Ji and Prince Gao’s nascent soul before him, then he turned to look at Yao Wudi.
Upon seeing Yao Wudi, he was taken aback as if he realized sothing and his eyes widened.
“You…you…”
Incredibly, paying no attention to his dignity as the commander-in-chief of Qiao State, he couldn’t resist stepping forward a few steps, the shock in his eyes even greater than when he saw the corpses of the fourth-class cultivators around him. Prince You couldn’t believe it:
“Are you…are you… Senior Yao Wudi?!”
“You’re still alive… no, have you beco… an Immortal Ascension…”
Just as Yao Wudi, who was recognized, was about to open his mouth, he heard the words ‘Immortal Ascension’ and his face imdiately darkened.
Having bumped into an acquaintance, Yao Wudi glanced at Prince You’s python robe and said:
“Hey, it’s my little nephew… Chu is getting worse every year, now even late-stage Nascent Souls can beco single-word Princes?”
Little nephew…
Tang Ji, who was by his side, couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Prince You, also known as Xiang Yi, given Yao Wudi’s habit of nicknaming people, calling him little nephew was definitely his style.
The annoyance he had felt from being constantly referred to as “little Tang” seed to lessen considerably all of a sudden.
However, the Chu Dynasty cultivators who followed Prince You couldn’t suppress a cold snort when they heard this.
Yao Wudi’s words were undoubtedly disrespectful to Chu and Prince You.
It was only because Prince You treated this Yao Wudi with such respect that they did not make a move.
However, when Prince You was openly nicknad by Yao Wudi, he didn’t dare to raise any objections. In his awkwardness, he tried to explain:
“Senior Yao may not know, now it has been changed by our emperor, a single word Prince… As long as they’re at the Nascent Soul stage, royal mbers can receive a title.”
On hearing this, Yao Wudi clicked his tongue in amazent.
“Things really aren’t what they used to be.”
“I rember that in the past, until the peak of Nascent Soul stage, even the right to have a title was not given…”
“Brother Xiang Shou, you’re not a competent emperor!”
Hearing these words, Prince You didn’t know how to respond. Standing awkwardly on the spot, he used his Spiritual Sense to perceive the aura around him and couldn’t help saying:
“Senior Yao, about those Incense-burning Dao Cultivators who were just killed…”
“Oh, I did it.”
Yao Wudi casually replied, then imdiately started collecting the storage treasures from the bodies of the fallen Incense-burning Dao Cultivators and tucked them into his waistband.
In the blink of an eye, his waist was overloaded with all sorts of storage bags, storage rings, and bracelets.
Prince You suddenly understood, and his eyes sparkled as he quickly bowed:
“Brother Xiang Yi, I earnestly request your assistance for Qiao State!”
However, Yao Wudi simply shook his head:
“I’m not going!”
“Senior…”
“I said no, stop asking. Go take care of your own business!”
Yao Wudi waved his hand impatiently.
Prince You did not give up yet. Casting a glance at Yao Wudi’s waist, recalled so old rumors about Yao Wudi, he quickly proposed:
“There are many more Incense-burning Dao Cultivators from Qiao State. If you agree to lend your hand, all the spoils are yours!”
Upon hearing this, Yao Wudi hesitated for a mont, but soon shook his head again:
“No, I don’t want those oldies to haul back to plug the mbrane Eye.”
“But…”
Before Prince You could continue, Yao Wudi had already called out to Tang Ji:
“Junior Brother, what are you standing around for?”
With that, he flew off towards the distant Wang Ba, with a smile on his face:
“Good disciple, did you watch closely just now…”
“Disciple?”
“Senior Yao has taken a disciple?”
Prince You looked puzzled, and involuntarily turned his gaze towards Yao Wudi’s direction.
Sure enough, standing on the city wall in the south was a Foundation Establishnt Competitor who didn’t seem to be anything special.
However, upon closer inspection, he caught sothing peculiar.
“Huh? It’s actually a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishnt…”
“Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishnt…why would they think to acknowledge Yao Wudi as master? Given Yao Wudi’s age…”
Prince You was confused.
His eyes landed on Tang Ji, who held the Nascent Soul of Prince Gao Xiang Huang. He quickly walked over to Tang Ji and politely asked:
“Brother Tang, you and Senior Yao are fellow disciples, so you should be close. Can you suggest a way to persuade Senior Yao to help? Whatever you ask, I will do everything in my power to fulfill it!”
Upon hearing this, Tang Ji smiled bitterly.
Truthfully, although he and Master Yao were of the sa generation, he was one of the last to join their Sect. He knew very little about Master Yao, perhaps even less than Prince You.
He knew very well that Master Yao had traveled a great distance to co here, not because of their close relationship, but because of his disciple.
Furthermore, since Master Yao had already declined, there was no reason for him to ddle, as he himself also intended to sever all ties with the matter.
Their Sect had clearly forbidden its disciples from getting involved in the affairs here.
At that mont, he handed over the Nascent Soul of Prince Gao to Li Xiangyun who was approaching.
He then gave a slight bow to Prince You:
“Brother Xiang, I have fulfilled my agreent with Prince Gao. We may et again so other ti.”
“This…”
Prince You was stupefied, wondering how not only did he fail to persuade Senior Yao, he also managed to push away Brother Tang.
He wanted to persuade him again, but Tang Ji had already stepped away, leaving swiftly.
anwhile, Wang Ba had gathered all of his spirit beasts from below. The hundred or so Mysterious Dragon Soldiers returned, each holding a storage ring or a storage bag.
Seeing Yao Wudi fly over, without hesitation, he imdiately brought together all the storage rings with his mana, and presented them to the incoming Yao Wudi.
Yao Wudi paused: “What is this…”
Wang Ba honestly replied:
“Since I’ve acknowledged you as my master, I ought to give gifts in return. However, due to the urgency of the mont, I couldn’t prepare properly, so these will have to do.”
Yao Wudi was imdiately surprised, then joy overflowed from his face:
“Gifts for acknowledgent as a disciple…”
“Good! Good!”
He didn’t stand on ceremony and snatched up all the storage treasures that Wang Ba presented, took a quick look and stuffed them into his waistband without checking.
“Since you’ve given a gift, your master, of course, won’t be stingy.”
“Let’s go!”
In the blink of an eye, Wang Ba found himself flying high above the ground.
He turned his head and looked back.
The majestic Yanqiao Pass quickly dwindled into a small dot behind him…
