Chapter 27 Yan's Vicious Plan
And when Yang Jian left.
Yan hid behind a half-open window high up, staring intently at the carriage that was gradually disappearing into the distance, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
His knuckles were white, and his nails were almost digging into his flesh, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.
At this moment, Yan's chest was churning with many indescribable emotions.
Helplessness, anger, resentment, and a deep-seated hatred.
Six years.
For the past six years, he has been cultivating his skills like a madman.
They go to the training ground before dawn and don't return until dark.
He cultivates while others rest, and he cultivates while others sleep.
He thought he could catch up with Yang Jian.
He thought he could prove to everyone that he had just been careless six years ago.
But now?
Yang Jian has already broken through level fifty.
He only needs to acquire one more soul ring to become a Soul King.
Not only did I fail to catch up, I was left even further behind.
These six years of hard work are like a joke.
Resentment flashed in Yan's eyes, and the scene from six years ago resurfaced in his mind.
On the training ground, he was cleaved away by Yang Jian's sword and fell to the ground, coughing up blood. The people around him pointed and talked about it.
"Senior Brother Yan was defeated in one move?"
Who is that child?
"Isn't Senior Brother Yan usually quite formidable?"
"How come he can't even beat a child?"
These voices pierced my heart.
However, what he found even more unbearable was Hu Liena's attitude.
Since Yang Jian arrived, Hu Liena has become increasingly distant from him. She used to talk to him, but now she doesn't even look at him properly.
She only had eyes for Yang Jian.
"Yang Jian!"
Yan took a deep breath, his eyes gradually turning gloomy.
Yang Jian used to stay in the Spirit Hall.
He can't help it.
But now the other party has left the Spirit Hall to go out and train.
Yue Guan was the only one by her side.
The opportunity is coming!
He turned and went deeper into the room, taking a piece of parchment and a pen from a drawer.
After a moment's thought, I began to write on it.
"To Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School —"
His handwriting was hasty and hurried, as if he was afraid he would change his mind.
After writing it down, he read it over again to make sure he hadn't left any trace that could lead back to him. Only then did he roll the parchment into a thin tube and seal it with wax.
"The Spirit Hall has produced a twelve-year-old Soul King. Ning Fengzhi must be very interested in this news."
Yan sneered and quickly stuffed the mailbox into his pocket.
Those high and mighty sects are most afraid of the emergence of an unparalleled genius from the Spirit Hall.
Especially the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; that old fox Ning Fengzhi will definitely not sit idly by.
Yang Jian, you're going to die.
Meanwhile, the carriage was slowly moving along the official road.
The interior of the carriage was extremely comfortable, with soft cushions, exquisite small tables, and a pot of warm tea.
The sound of wheels rolling over the road was monotonous and rhythmic, inducing drowsiness.
Yue Guan leaned against the side of the carriage, closing his eyes to rest, and casually asked, "Where to first?"
"I'll go back and check on my brother and sister first," Yang Jian said, sitting opposite him and gazing at the scenery rushing past the window. "Then I'll take a trip around the Tiandou Empire and see what's going on."
Yue Guan nodded and said nothing more.
With his strength, traveling by flying with Yang Jian would certainly be faster.
But that would consume too much soul power, and if danger were encountered along the way, the consequences would be unpredictable.
To be on the safe side, it's better to take a horse-drawn carriage.
Anyway, they have plenty of time.
-
Two months later.
The carriage crossed the border of the province of Idov and entered the territory of Linhai City.
The air gradually became humid, and a faint salty, fishy smell wafted in the wind.
The vegetation along the roadside has also changed.
More common are salt-tolerant shrubs and low-lying palm trees.
Yang Jian lifted the carriage curtain and took a deep breath.
He had smelled this fishy smell every day since he was a child, and he was used to it.
Later, I went to the Spirit Hall. I hadn't smelled it for six years, and I thought I would feel uncomfortable, but now it smells especially familiar.
"We've arrived." Yue Guan opened her eyes. "I won't go in with you; I'll stay in the shadows and keep watch."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the carriage, as if he had never existed.
Yang Jian was not surprised. After the carriage came to a stop, he got off alone.
Linhai City isn't very big, but it's much more prosperous than Weihai City.
The streets were bustling with people, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares, bargaining, and children playing mingled together, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.
Yang Jian stood on the street, identified the direction, and then walked towards the Martial Soul Branch Hall.
He hadn't walked more than a few steps when he noticed something was wrong.
There were quite a few people watching him.
To be precise, I was looking at his face.
A young woman dressed in gorgeous clothes walked towards him. When she saw him, she paused for a moment, blushed slightly, and walked away quickly with her head down.
The women nearby made no attempt to hide their whispers, their eyes lingering on his face.
Yang Jian frowned slightly.
He knew he wasn't bad-looking, but the feeling of being stared at like a rare animal still made him uncomfortable.
"Are you alone, young master? Would you like to come up and have some fun?" A heavily made-up woman poked her head out from the teahouse next door and gave him a flirtatious wink.
Yang Jian walked over without stopping, his face expressionless.
Having spent so much time with a beauty like Hu Liena, ordinary women simply don't catch his eye.
The Martial Soul Branch Hall is located in the center of Linhai City. It is a three-story building made entirely of white stone, with two stone pillars standing in front of the door, the top of which is carved with the logo of the Martial Soul Hall.
-
Yang Jian walked to the door and was about to go in when two guards simultaneously reached out to stop him.
"Halt. This is the Spirit Hall's restricted area; unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter."
The two guards were young men in their early twenties, wearing light armor in the Spirit Hall's standard uniform, with long swords hanging at their waists.
They looked Yang Jian up and down, their eyes scrutinizing him.
Yang Jian wasn't annoyed. He took out a token from his pocket and handed it over.
"My name is Yang Jian, and I'm here to find Wang Hegui."
The two guards took the token, looked down, and their pupils contracted simultaneously.
Elder's Decree.
It turned out to be an Elder's Token that only a Title Douluo-level powerhouse could possess.
The Elder's Order of the Spirit Hall.
The two guards exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and confusion in each other's eyes.
How could this boy, who looks no more than a teenager, possibly be a Title Douluo?
Immediately.
Their gazes unconsciously fell on the clothes Yang Jian was wearing.
The fabric is exquisite and the workmanship is meticulous; it is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.
Moreover, although the boy was young, he stood there calm and composed, with an extraordinary demeanor, clearly not an ordinary person.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go and report right away." One of the guards immediately became respectful, handed the token back with both hands, and turned to run quickly into the branch hall.
The other guard stood still, secretly observing Yang Jian, not daring to breathe.
A moment later, a series of hurried footsteps came from inside the branch hall.
"Where are they? Where are they?"
