Chapter 727, Not Benevolent

Translator: Silavin

 

“Of course.” Because he wanted to leverage the power of the Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty to conserve his strength before reaching Heart Trial City, Qin Yichen nodded his head, not denying it.

 

“I am Xia Lieyang of the Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty. I wonder which Imperial Dynasty Little Brother comes from, and how should I address you?”

 

Seeing Qin Yichen acknowledge this, the young man’s expression immediately became considerably more pleasant. That air of superiority also restrained itself somewhat.

 

“Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty, Qin Yichen.” Qin Yichen stated.

 

“Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty?” Hearing this unfamiliar name, a trace of peculiarity flashed through the depths of Xia Lieyang’s eyes.

 

The number of Imperial Dynasties were as numerous as stars, while the Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty couldn’t be considered top-tier, overall speaking, it could barely squeeze into the ranks of high-tier Imperial Dynasties.

 

With their Imperial Dynasty’s intelligence network, as long as an Imperial Dynasty possessed even slight strength, they would be recorded.

 

However, even with his memory, he had never heard of the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty before. Obviously, it was a low-tier Imperial Dynasty that completely failed to attract the Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty’s attention.

 

Regarding people from such low-tier Imperial Dynasties, if this were any ordinary time, Xia Lieyang absolutely wouldn’t have the slightest interest in communication. If not for those Evil Energy-dispelling Pills in Qin Yichen’s hands, he would have long since waved his hand to drive him away.

 

“Hehe, Brother Qin, I wonder how many more of those Pills do you have?” Xia Lieyang asked with a trace of a smile.

 

After he mentioned the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty, Xia Lieyang’s facial changes were extremely subtle, but they were still captured by Qin Yichen’s eyes. After all, he also secretly maintained vigilance.

 

After pondering briefly, Qin Yichen looked left and right, then lowered his voice saying: “I still have over ten Pills. These are something I obtained by chance from an ancient ruin. I never expected they would actually possess this level of efficacy.”

 

When he heard that these Pills were obtained by chance, a trace of disappointment flashed through Xia Lieyang’s eyes. However, he concealed this very well. Subsequently, he asked. “I wonder if Brother Qin would be willing to part with a few for my sake?”

 

Seeing the latter’s appearance, Qin Yichen could not help but snort coldly in his heart. He could see that Xia Lieyang fundamentally had no intention of befriending him or anything of that sort.

 

After all, when all was said and done, he was merely someone from a low-tier Imperial Dynasty. If not for these Pills, he would not even enter Xia Lieyang’s consideration.

 

Seeing Qin Yichen’s somewhat troubled appearance, Xia Lieyang’s eyes narrowed slightly, a trace of impatience flashing past within them.

 

“Of course, I won’t demand your gift for nothing. As a condition, I’ll escort you to Heart Trial City. How about it?”

 

Xia Lieyang chuckled softly. Between his words, he threw out a condition that would make numerous low-tier Imperial Dynasty people envious.

 

Originally full of burning enthusiasm to participate in the Imperial Dynasties Assembly, but after merely one brief day, even before truly entering the Imperial Dynasties Assembly proper, many so-called geniuses from low-tier Imperial Dynasties had witnessed the gap between themselves and others.

 

Knowing that distinguishing themselves from the Imperial Dynasties Assembly simply had not half a chance of possibility, thereupon, in the eyes of numerous low-tier Imperial Dynasty geniuses, being able to preserve their lives and enter Heart Trial City was already the most satisfying matter.

 

“Good, deal!”

 

As expected, without disappointing Xia Lieyang’s expectations, Qin Yichen agreed with an expression full of delight.

 

However, what made Xia Lieyang slightly surprised was that Qin Yichen only handed over five Pills to him.

 

“I still have a few more. Once we enter Heart Trial City, I’ll give them all to you,” Qin Yichen said, waving the jade bottle in his hand.

 

Xia Lieyang nodded his head, not saying much more.

 

But the instant Qin Yichen turned around, Xia Lieyang, who had originally worn a benevolent smile, immediately had his expression darkened.

 

A mere low-tier Imperial Dynasty brat actually dared to haggle with him, and even after his promise, still dared not obediently present all the Pills!

 

“Prince, should we deal with him—”

 

Seeing Xia Lieyang’s darkened expression, the Mid Stage Martial Emperor beside him furrowed his brows, his gaze looking toward the former as he inquired.

 

“What’s the rush?” Regarding his question, Xia Lieyang merely chuckled softly. He took one Pill, placing it before his nose to smell. Immediately, he felt that uncomfortable Evil Energy disperse somewhat.

 

“Although we’ve occupied this gathering place, if after obtaining benefits we still move against them, it will attract some unnecessary trouble…”

 

Xia Lieyang shook his head slightly. Within those gloomy eyes, a trace of malicious intent flashed past. His voice filled with fury also resonated in the ears of the Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty’s people. “In this kind of place, if you can avoid taking action yourself, then try your best not to take action personally. Understood?”

 

“Prince, you mean—” Hearing these words, several Martial Emperors all wore expressions of enlightenment. The corners of their mouths all curved up with cruel smiles.

 

“Qin Yichen, what did they call you for?” Seeing Qin Yichen return, Liu Yun hastily pulled him down, asking in a low voice.

 

Qin Yichen shook his head, not offering an excessive explanation. His expression also appeared somewhat gloomy.

 

He had clearly miscalculated. Xia Lieyang’s character truly disappointed him. If the latter were that kind of open and forthright person, perhaps he would still stake some chips on him, traveling together to Heart Trial City.

 

However, the latter’s bone-deep contempt for those of lower status was truly intolerable for him.

 

If he truly traveled together with the Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty, perhaps when encountering something on the road, the latter would absolutely not hesitate to throw them out as cannon fodder.

 

“The Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty’s strength is not weak. You’d best not provoke them.” Seeing Qin Yichen unwilling to say more, Liu Yun couldn’t help but furrow his brows, speaking with some gravity.

 

Just from the Mid Stage Martial Emperors visible on the surface, there were as many as four people. Moreover, these four people were probably not ordinary Mid Stage Martial Emperors. That person addressed as ‘Prince’ possessed strength that even made Liu Yun extremely wary.

 

If conflict arose with such a force, even the consistently proud Liu Yun, would hesitate to do anything.

 

Hearing this, Qin Yichen smiled bitterly. It was not him wanting to make enemies with them! He had already taken the initiative to seek goodwill. It was just that some deep-rooted concepts meant that in the latter’s heart, he lacked the qualifications to stand together with them.

 

After the brief commotion, the gathering place once again fell into complete silence.

 

However, after witnessing the terrifying aspects of the Evil Energy here, those Imperial Dynasty geniuses without much knowledge dared not absorb the World Energy to cultivate. One by one, they all closed their eyes to rest, waiting for daybreak’s arrival.

 

Among these, only Qin Yichen was the anomaly, because he fundamentally had no need to rely on Pills. This kind of diluted ferocious Evil Energy fundamentally caused him no impact whatsoever.

 

Within his Dantian resided the True Dragon Martial Soul. Naturally, tens of thousands of evils could not corrupt it!
