Chapter 83 - The Emperor's Distress

Keeping the shadow of the moon, the brilliance that filled the sky disappeared, and the curved crescent moon also slowly dissipated.

A breeze blew. Ye Yang's long hair and clothes fluttered in the wind like a god of slaughter in the dark night.

Wu Youlan lightly covered her cherry lips with her hand as shock filled her eyes. In her eyes, Ye Yang was like a bottomless well.

Feng Qinger rushed to Ye Yang's side and slowly knelt on the ground. She placed her right hand on her chest and performed a strange etiquette, then said with a trembling voice, "Qing'er greets Master!"

"Master?" Ye Yang was momentarily stunned and quickly reached out to help her up.

But Feng Qinger refused to get up no matter what, she shook her head and said, "When Master was in deep danger, Qing'er did not protect Master. Qing'er deserves to die, Master, please punish his!"

At this time, Wu Youlan rushed over, she was also shocked as she looked at this scene.

Feng Qinger explained, "Our Feathered believes in the Moon God. The Moon God once taught us to repay favors by saving our lives, so we serve him well."

Feng Qinger said in a slightly sour tone, "Just now, Master clearly used my clan's weapon and also activated the Moon God's blessing. Only then did Qing'er come to his senses, and I beg Master to bestow punishment upon me!"

"Alright, let's get up first. This is not the time to talk," Ye Yang said with a bit of a headache.

Arriving in front of cloaked man's corpse, he saw that there was a large hole in his chest that almost broke his body into two.

He reached out and took off the ring, feeling around on the corpse and pulling out a small bag from his bosom. He immediately felt happy, but this was not the time to count.

He took off the treasured sword in cloaked man's hand and placed it on the ring. After checking the ring back and forth and confirming that he had not missed anything, he left the scene with the two girls and returned to his residence.

After Ye Yang left, a dark figure quietly appeared and arrived beside cloaked man's corpse, pulling his cloak away.

A man around the age of thirty years old appeared in front of him. When he saw the picture of a bloody skull on his neck, his pupils immediately contracted.

He put the corpse away and disappeared.

Within the imperial palace, in an inner courtyard, there was a heavily guarded entrance. Inside a large private room, the Tianwu Emperor was listening to a report from someone.

This person was the expert Wu Wang who stopped Ye Yang from fighting with the Inscription Master during the day and was currently reporting respectfully.

After he finished listening, he carefully looked at the corpse on the floor and closed his eyes. Following the silence of the Emperor, the atmosphere in the room became slightly stifling.

After a while, the emperor opened his eyes. "I didn't expect that the killer of the Road to River Styx would appear in the Tianwu Kingdom. Someone must have paid a huge price to invite him. He is really bold now."

The emperor sighed with a profound look. A trace of ridicule flashed across his mouth, "However, I just got the deposit and gave my life away. This assassin is quite eccentric."

"That's right. Assassins on the Road to River Styx are good at hiding and attacking, but they are good at fighting those above their cultivation level. Moreover, the success rate of assassinations is extremely high. They rarely fail, so their prices are outrageously high." The Emperor nodded.

"But a warrior rank silver killer like that was killed by a warrior. This is unbelievable."

"Even if I have to take action, defeating him would take some effort. If I have to talk about taking him down, I do not even have a fifty percent chance of success." Wu Wang shook his head.

One had to know that he was the king of the 5th Heavenly Layer. Even if he could defeat that assassin, it would be extremely difficult to kill him because assassins specialized in surprise attacks and escape.

After he was hit by Ye Yang's bronze body, he had already lost half his life and could still escape quickly. If not for Moon Shadow, he might have been able to escape today.

"You don't need to belittle yourself. There are many reasons why he was killed by Ye Yang!"

"Second, if his attack fails, then he should escape thousands of miles away, waiting for the next opportunity. However, he did not do so. "I reckon that Ye Yang has something he desperately needs that has forced him to give it up. He has already lost the calmness of a killer."

"Thirdly, his luck is too bad. Li Chengfeng passed the Lunar Shadow to Ye Yang, causing him to have no chance of escaping."

"Normally, when an assassin makes a small mistake, they will never be able to recover from it. Since he has committed so many crimes, it would be weird if he doesn't die." The Emperor shook his head.

"After your analysis, Your Majesty, this humble subject was momentarily enlightened." Wu Wang said with a face full of admiration.

"However, this Ye Yang is indeed a monster. If his cultivation is sufficient enough to kill a war general, he would definitely soar into the sky in the future. Tianwu won't be able to keep this dragon alive," the Emperor said with some regret.

"Initially, it was a battle for the throne between two evenly matched opponents. However, because of his participation, it will become extremely unbalanced!"

"Do you need this humble subject to persuade you?" Wu Wang said carefully.

"NO!" That would be unfair. After all, he was able to pull Ye Yang away because of his strength. I can't destroy thousands of years of tradition.

"Yes!"

"But you better watch out for the few fellows in the inscription tower. Now there are only four left, and if a few more are killed by Ye Yang, they're done for!"

"When the time comes, he'll pat his butt and leave, yet he wants us to pay for him. I always feel that this kid is a scourge, so I'll try my best to send him away as soon as possible."

"Since it's a disaster, why not?" Wu Wang's expression turned cold. He was extremely shocked by Ye Yang's fighting strength, and at the same time, deeply jealous of his Inherent skill.

The emperor's expression immediately turned cold, "You and I have been together for more than twenty years, why haven't we made any progress yet? A monstrous genius like you, if you can't kill him with a single blow, would be in danger of destruction. Do you want to put the imperial family in danger?"

"This humble subject deserves to die, this humble subject is slow-witted, I plead for Your Majesty to punish me!"

"You can leave now. Do your job well. Don't think too highly of yourself. Otherwise, it will only bring about your own death!" The emperor waved his hand.

"Yes," Wu Wang bowed and slowly retreated.

When they returned to the First Prince's residence, Qing'er recounted what had happened to her.

So it turned out that their Feather Clan s were extremely far away from here. As for how far, Qing'er herself didn't know.

It was more than a year since they were captured, and they had more than a dozen brothers and sisters.

They lived in a small tribe. One day, when they were out together, they were surrounded by a group of humans. A huge net caught them and knocked them out.

After that, they began their long and arduous journey. They were locked in cages like animals, and after riding several Teleportation Arrays, they were sent to different places.

This was because the Feathered, regardless of whether it was male or female, they were all very beautiful and were loved by the wealthy merchants and nobles.

When Wu Youlan heard this, he became furious and grinded her teeth in hatred towards this group of traffickers. She also sympathized with Feng Qinger's plight.

Although Feng Qinger no longer had any impression of her path of being kidnapped, Ye Yang was still extremely happy.

Seeing that it was already late at night, Wu Youlan hurriedly brought Feng Qinger to rest. Unexpectedly, Feng Qinger shook her head and insisted on sleeping together with Ye Yang.

Hearing that, Ye Yang's jaw almost hit the ground.

Seeing the two of them looking at him doubtfully, Feng Qinger became anxious, "Since Qing'er has already acknowledged her master, she will serve her master for life. If she goes back on her words, she will be punished by the Moon God!"

"If you don't trust Qing'er, Qing'er will die to thank Master for saving her life!" As he spoke, he grabbed a sharp fruit knife from the table and slashed his throat.

The two of them were immediately startled. They never thought that this weak and delicate girl would have such an unyielding personality. Ye Yang grabbed the knife with one hand.

The sharp knife had already cut Feng Qinger's snow white neck, but luckily it was only a bit cut, and blood leaked out.

It was as if a red gem was embedded on a pure white gem, but Ye Yang wasn't in the mood to appreciate it.

"What are you doing!"

"If Master does not trust Qing'er, Qing'er will only die!" Feng Qinger stubbornly said.

"Who said I don't trust you?" Ye Yang immediately felt like he couldn't let out his anger. If he was slightly slower just now, Feng Qinger would have died already.

"You are Qing'er's master. Everything that Qing'er has belongs to you. If you don't want Qing'er to serve you, then you don't trust her!" Feng Qinger's tears rolled down as she stubbornly looked at Ye Yang.

Ye Yang's head immediately hurt, and Wu Youlan, who was beside him, had an ambiguous smile on her face.

"Enough, Ye Yang. You're not young anymore. There are many people at your age that are getting married, so it doesn't matter if you get married earlier or later," Wu Youlan said as she laughed tenderly.

In this era, men did not have three wives and four concubines. Women were often the symbol of a man's wealth and status, and the more the better.

Wu Youlan had been born in a wealthy family since childhood, so this kind of philosophy was naturally deeply rooted in him and she thought that it was very normal.

He glared at Wu Youlan fiercely. If he said that he didn't like this silver haired beauty in front of him, he would be lying to himself. However, Ye Yang couldn't accept this kind of thing.

"Alright, you can stay with me, but you have to listen to me. Do whatever I tell you to do, and don't go against me!" Ye Yang said.

"Yes master, I will listen to anything master says!" Feng Qinger immediately said happily.

After Wu Youlan heard Ye Yang's words, she immediately misunderstood what he meant.

When Ye Yang saw the look of disdain in Wu Youlan's eyes, he immediately understood what she was thinking.

However, Ye Yang did not explain. Explaining was concealing, concealing, and concealing became a fact. Men will never understand women's theories.

Under Wu Youlan's strange gaze, Ye Yang summoned up the courage to send her out of the room, feeling depressed in his heart.

"Master, I'll make the bed for you right now!" When they were captured, they had already been taught what maids were supposed to do.

"From now on, don't call me master. Call me big brother." Ye Yang gloomily said.

Feng Qinger hesitated for a moment. "Master Big Brother"

Ye Yang had a conflicted expression. He was completely defeated by this girl. "Fine, fine, it's up to you!"

Reaching his hand out to take out a ring, Ye Yang smiled, "Hehe, it's about time to count the rewards."
