Chapter 1439: Chapter 499: Treachery Runs in the Family
After Ye Lingyue and Di Shen separated, she also began to arrange carriages and horses to prepare for departure to the mission location.
Third Young Master Jin, who was amazed by Miss Guangzi’s heavenly beauty, still looked lost, staring at Guangzi and trying to talk to her a bit more.
This gave Guangzi goosebumps all over her body.
Yue Mubai was worried about causing further trouble and finally managed to persuade Third Young Master Jin.
"Miss Guangzi, let’s meet again if we are fated."
Third Young Master Jin was full of reluctance to part.
Guangzi muttered behind Ye Lingyue with a sly smile on her face.
"Go see King Yan; fate, my foot. Only a ghost would want to meet you again. You better wish yourself luck."
Guangzi smiled wickedly, murmuring in her heart.
After eating the Dark Needle of the Medical Essence Divine Needle passed down by my dear mother, Third Young Master Jin, on this journey, you won’t be able to seek life nor death.
Who told this brat to take advantage of her sister, dare to humiliate Ah Ri, and insult the Big Fool for having no parents.
As soon as Ye Lingyue turned around, this guy immediately put on a pitiful look, as if scared by Third Young Master Jin.
Ye Lingguang was known as the "Smiling Maitreya" in the Divine Realm. The nickname sounds good, but those who have actually interacted with him, including Xi Jiuye, know that Ye Lingguang is not to be trifled with, even more so than his twin brother Ye Lingri.
Because if Ye Lingri found someone unpleasant, at most, he’d solve them with a snip.
But Ye Lingguang was different. He was notoriously ruthless and shameless.
If he set his sights on a prey, he definitely wouldn’t let it have a clean death.
He enjoyed using tricks, slowly cornering his prey before finally playing them to death.
You could see hints of this in his plotting and scheming against Xi Jiuye.
As for Ye Lingguang’s habit, it all started in his childhood.
When Ye Lingguang was young, because he was cute and adorable, always smiling at people, it was easy for them to think he was an easy target.
He was often bullied by some older peers.
Unable to fight back, Ye Lingguang, being someone who valued his pride, refused to call upon his sister or Ah Ri for help and eventually didn’t want to go out to play.
Over time, his mother, Medicine Buddha Yun Sheng, noticed.
After Yun Sheng found out the reason, she taught him the family-inherited Medical Essence Divine Needle.
She advised her son that if someone bullied him, he must use his own strength to bully them back, and return it tenfold.
If he couldn’t win by force, use his brain; if overt methods didn’t work, then resort to covert ones!
Thus, Ye Lingguang’s values were twisted by his dear mother at a young age.
Ye Lingguang indeed had a talent for medicine and soon mastered the family-inherited divine needles expertly.
After learning the Medical Essence Divine Needle, the hard days began for those peers who bullied Ye Lingguang.
Ye Lingguang was clever; instead of using the needle directly, he used the Dark Needle Power he cultivated internally, crippling legs and causing comminuted fractures.
At the city gates, Ye Lingyue retracted her gaze.
"Once everyone is ready, let’s depart."
Qin Xiaochuan stood to one side with a dark face, looking frustrated.
"Guangzi, why did you stop me just now? Do you like that guy, Third Young Master Jin?"
"You are the one who likes Third Young Master Jin, what’s with your IQ."
Guangzi rolled her eyes dramatically at him and ran off to help Ye Lingyue prepare the vehicles.
This left Qin Xiaochuan in a dilemma, unsure whether to stay or leave. In the end, he followed the team out of Xuanwu City.
The Jin Family was large and influential, so Xi Jiuye’s group traveled entirely by carriage and horse.
Xi Jiuye was deep in thought, feeling that the guy named Guangzi looked somewhat familiar.
Third Young Master Jin was about to mount his horse, still reminiscing over Miss Guangzi’s smooth "little hand".
"Ouch, my leg!"
Suddenly, an intense pain shot through his knee, and Third Young Master Jin missed his step, falling off the horse.
Upon inspection, the group found that Third Young Master Jin’s arm was broken, and his foot sprained.
"How come you missed your step just like that?"
Upon inspection by the accompanying Alchemist, it was found that Third Young Master Jin’s arm and leg bones were shattered in multiple places, impossible to heal, and he had to rest without jolts the entire journey.
As a result, the Jin Family’s team had no choice but to slow down the pace, lagging far behind other teams.
Everyone thought this was just a coincidence, and nobody linked the incident to the seemingly harmless Guangzi.
"What a useless person."
Yue Mubai secretly cursed under his breath.
For this trip to the Jiu Provinces Hunting, Yue Mubai’s real goal was the Taixu Tomb Realm. He was worried that if he arrived late and someone else found the Taixu Tomb Realm first, all his plans would be ruined.
Yet he couldn’t shake off this burden of Third Young Master Jin, as Yue Mubai had no solid foundation in the vast Central Plains, and without the Jin Family’s influence, finding the exact location of the Taixu Tomb Realm would be difficult.
Moreover, the person named Xi Jiuye made Yue Mubai very uneasy.
He had a sense that Xi Jiuye would be a potential threat.
The people of the Jin Family, each harboring their own thoughts, moved slowly with the delegation, with Hong Mingyue blending in at the back of the carriages and horses.
Hong Mingyue was also feeling anxious.
According to her agreement with Queen Moonflower, she was supposed to act against Xi Jiuye while in Xuanwu City, but due to various reasons, she hadn’t found the right opportunity.
Furthermore, with such a large-scale Demon Hunting activity by the Human Clan, involving thousands of teams, she had to find a way to inform the Demon World, otherwise, if the Central Plains were invaded, it would be like the gateway to the Demon World falling.
Taking advantage of the inattentiveness of others, Hong Mingyue spat out a small insect egg from her mouth.
The insect egg cracked open, and a moth flew out from it.
The messenger demon moth flew into the distance, crossing the Central Plains, heading towards the Demon World.
Meanwhile, in another direction in the Demon World, lies the Beiyu Palace.
Beiyu Palace is one of the two major empires of the Demon World, alongside the South Nether City.
In the capital of Beiyu Palace, a bustling main road lay before Jiunian’s eyes.
As a city with a history spanning thousands of years, the architecture of northern Qianyu City, the capital of Beiyu Palace, was grand and imposing.
The roads were bustling with vehicles, and the city was teeming with various goods, with the cries of small vendors resounding without end.
Looking at the pedestrians passing by, some in twos and threes, although many had beast-like faces and were of large stature, possessing half-beast lineage, the majority of the passersby looked no different from ordinary Humans.
"So this is the Demon Capital of the Demon World, why does it look completely different from what I knew about the Demon World?"
Jiunian stood before the towering city gate, which was more than five to six times larger than the gate of Xia Capital, rubbing his eyes in disbelief. Even after confirming that what he saw wasn’t an illusion, his mouth remained wide open, big enough to fit a fist.
