Chapter 922, Too Degenerate

Translator: Silavin

 

After the Ancient Jade Pavilion auction concluded, Qin Yichen did not rush to leave Saints City, but returned to Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s courtyard to temporarily rest.

 

In the spacious hall, Qin Yichen and Mu Yanfeng sat in the primary seats, with Feng Qianxue, Li Yuanba and Mu Yanzhen on the side chairs.

 

A moment later, a steward ran in from outside, bowed to Mu Yanfeng and Qin Yichen, and said. “Both Sacred Master Candidates, there are people outside acting suspiciously…”

 

“En.” Mu Yanfeng’s expression was somewhat ugly as he waved his hand, then looked toward Qin Yichen, saying. “As expected, someone is tracking you. It seems Chen Feng doesn’t intend to let this opportunity to strike back at you pass.”

 

Qin Yichen blinked, indicating he understood.

 

Honestly, he was very puzzled. He had clearly been very low-key. How did he unknowingly get targeted again?

(Silavin: Low Key your arse. I spit at you *Pui*)

 

Of course, in his view, contributing a Compound Pill that could overturn the World of Alchemy, then killing a few challengers who came to his door in front of the world’s heroes, shouldn’t count as being too high-profile, right?

 

Fortunately, this was not the first time he faced this kind of situation, so he was not too anxious.

 

“What do you plan to do?” Watching Qin Yichen’s expression show no change, Mu Yanfeng could not help but ask.

 

Chen Feng was an existence even he somewhat feared. Yet this young man, even now, was not the slightest bit nervous. Could he have a countermeasure?

 

“What else can I do? Can’t beat him in a fight. At worst, I’ll just cultivate here and wait until the Sacred Master sends someone to fetch me…” However, to Mu Yanfeng’s surprise, Qin Yichen simply shrugged and spoke very casually.

 

“You…” Hearing this, Mu Yanfeng immediately felt his chest tighten.

 

How had he never noticed before that Qin Yichen’s words could be so infuriating!?

 

He was so bold in the Ancient Jade Pavilion, confronting Chen Feng head-on, yet now still maintaining this calm appearance as if all that did not matter. He had wasted his belief that the young man already had a solution.

 

It turned out he planned to just give up.

 

“Senior Brother Mu, don’t be anxious. Being watched by Chen Feng is ultimately a troublesome matter to deal with. Even if I leave, I can only return to the Sacred Land first. Look, what if I return now and am seen by the Sacred Martial City Envoy? That would be another depressing matter for the Sacred Land, right?” Qin Yichen smiled lightly.

 

Mu Yanfeng shook his head, feeling quite a headache coming.

 

Actually, this time he had brought out a Heaven Ascension Token. The primary objective was precisely because of the fourth Heaven Ascension Token’s appearance, to have Qin Yichen try his luck inside.

 

However, now this matter seems somewhat unrealistic.

 

“Junior Brother Qin, I’ll be honest with you. The Sacred Master planned to have you take the Heaven Ascension Token and go to Heaven Ascension Great Saint’s inheritance site.”

 

Mu Yanfeng took a deep breath, calmed his state of mind, and truthfully revealed what the Sacred Master had instructed him.

 

“Senior Brother Mu, as you can see, in my current state, never mind going to that place, I’m afraid the moment I step out of this city gate, great danger will descend upon me.” Qin Yichen’s expression became much more serious.

 

After all, that was the inheritance of one who had broken through the Saint Realm. There would definitely be many good things inside. But now, obviously, he could only give up this opportunity.

 

“Alas, I warned you long ago to endure when you can!” Hearing this, Mu Yanfeng could only sigh lightly.

 

“Who told you not to listen to my advice in the Ancient Jade Pavilion? You had to compete with the murderous Chen Feng, escalating matters to this unmanageable degree…”

 

“If only those at Martial Emperor Realm and below can enter, in my view, Li Yuanba is an excellent choice.” Qin Yichen’s gaze fell on Li Yuanba as he suddenly spoke.

 

The latter’s ‘Momentum’ had already approached the Partially Accomplished Stage. Even ordinary Martial Ancestors were unable to accomplish this feat.

 

Moreover, after several brushes with death, Li Yuanba’s strength had grown even more formidable. Combined with his terrifying monstrous strength, even if Ling Tuyai were resurrected, if without Saint Prestige, he would probably struggle to match him.

 

“Me? No way I’m going!” Just as Mu Yanfeng frowned, considering whether to trust Qin Yichen’s judgement or report back to the Sacred Land for the Sacred Master to decide, Li Yuanba’s muffled voice had already rung out.

 

“Li Yuanba, this is a great opportunity. There, you can even exchange blows with people from other Sacred Lands!” Qin Yichen made a light sound of surprise.

 

“Not going, I’m not going. This Young Master is already virtually unmatched in the Martial Emperor Realm. Those weaklings are completely uninteresting to me.” Li Yuanba stared intently at Mu Yanzhen, terrified of missing even a second of gazing at her, not even lifting his head as he spoke.

 

“Li Yuanba, as a man, how can you be so-so pathetic!” Seeing Li Yuanba’s fallen appearance, Qin Yichen could not help but sigh with considerable feeling as he rebuked.

 

However, to the words of this so-called Sacred Master Candidate, the latter paid no attention whatsoever. It was as if in his eyes, only Mu Yanzhen existed. Even if the Sacred Master position were offered to him, he would not care in the slightest.

 

Watching these two guys, one declining, one completely uninterested, Mu Yanfeng could not help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

 

This was a Saint Inheritance! Who knows, with good fortune one might obtain the inheritance within and emerge as at least the equivalent of a Ling Tuyai!

 

Moreover, they might even obtain an Open Saint Heart for the Sacred Land!

 

[These two guys are so indifferent! Do they not know what a Saint Inheritance means!?]

 

Being stared at so unblinkingly by Li Yuanba, Mu Yanzhen also felt her pretty face flush red. However, she perhaps did not yet realise that this fool, when he had risked his life to save her before, had already broken into her heart. Otherwise, where would Li Yuanba get the audacity to look at her so brazenly?

 

“My Brother said one Heaven Ascension Token can bring two people to the Martial Emperor Realm. I also want to go have a look.”

 

Mu Yanzhen glared at Li Yuanba, her pretty face turning crimson.

 

“Oh! In that case, I’m going! This is a must! This Young Master hasn’t sparred with anyone in ages. My hands are itching so badly!”

 

Before the words had even finished falling, Li Yuanba beat his chest with resounding thumps, appearing as if any damned inheritance was easily within his grasp.

 

[This guy will definitely not be wearing the pants in this relationship…] Seeing that his lengthy persuasion was not as effective as a single sentence from Mu Yanzhen, Qin Yichen could not help but twitch, snorting with dissatisfaction.

 

“I think Li Yuanba made a good choice. Didn’t Uncle Li want him to settle down long ago?” Feng Qianxue, however, smiled lightly, embracing Qin Yichen’s arm.

 

“*Ahem…* I’ll first go inform the Sacred Master about the situation here.”

 

Mu Yanfeng in the primary seat stood up and left without looking back, his voice carrying endless bitterness.

 

Being between two couples showing affection truly made him, a ‘single dog’, very uncomfortable.

 

Moreover, one of them was even his own Little Sister!

 

He had fantasised about what kind of elegant and talented youth his Sister would marry in future, but never expected she would entrust her heart to this crude, boorish man.

 

If not for seeing that Li Yuanba truly treated Mu Yanzhen impeccably, he would have slapped him senseless long ago.

 

[Argh! I need to take advantage of this period before he breaks through to the Martial Ancestor Realm to properly suppress him. Otherwise, if in future he did not even acknowledge my words, where would my dignity as an Older Brother go?]
