“What exactly are you trying to do?” Ye Jingyun looked at Ye Chu in confusion. Last time, when Ye Chu saw her, he insisted on borrowing a spatial artifact, saying he needed to do something big.
Ye Jingyun was puzzled in her heart, not knowing what kind of big matter required a spatial artifact. She had not even had time to refuse Ye Chu before he threw out a condition she could not refuse. Ye Chu directly took out a large handful of Green Origin Pills and Mysterious Spirit Pills and tossed them before her, saying they were interest for borrowing the spatial artifact.
Green Origin Pills were one thing, but a Mysterious Spirit Pill was worth ten Green Origin Pills. Ye Chu had thrown her at least thirty or forty of them. This was no small fortune. Ye Chu’s actions greatly surprised Ye Jingyun. Since when had Ye Chu become so generous?
Under Ye Chu’s persistent pestering, Ye Jingyun finally agreed to lend the spatial artifact to Ye Chu.
What surprised Ye Jingyun was that although Ye Chu said he was going to do something big, she saw no sign of any action from him. Instead, he was leading them on a journey. The journey was almost nonstop, day and night. This finally made Ye Jingyun unable to resist asking Ye Chu the reason.
Ye Chu pointed at a city ahead and said with a grin, “See that city up ahead?”
Ye Jingyun looked at the magnificent city before her. This city was no less than a great city of the empire. From Yang Hui’s mouth, she had also learned information about this city. It was a city owned by the Ice Emperor.
In other words, this city was the centre of a thousand li radius, controlling endless mines and cultivation resources within that thousand li. It counted as a prosperous imperial city.
“This is the Ice Emperor’s imperial city? So what?” Ye Jingyun asked curiously.
Ye Chu smiled and did not answer Ye Jingyun. Instead, he said to Yang Hui and Yang Ning, “You and Ye Jingyun wait here for me. Do not enter the city under any circumstances!”
“Young Master…” Yang Hui and Yang Ning were equally puzzled. These past few days, Ye Chu had kept saying he was going to do something big, but they could not figure out what this big matter had to do with this city.
“You stay here properly!” Ye Chu said to Ye Jingyun. “Didn’t you want to know what I’m doing? Then I’ll tell you now. In this city, the Ice Emperor’s treasury, I want it!”
This single sentence left Ye Jingyun, Yang Hui, and Yang Yun frozen in place. They stared blankly at Ye Chu, rubbing their ears. They only felt their eardrums vibrating, and also felt as if they were hearing a joke.
But looking at Ye Chu’s serious yet crazed expression, their minds went blank. Ye Chu was not joking!
“Have you gone mad? Give me back the spatial artifact!” Ye Jingyun reacted, jumping up and preparing to curse loudly. She thought this fellow had completely lost his mind. This was the Ice Emperor’s lair. Wanting to rob his treasury, was this not seeking death?
Ye Chu grabbed Ye Jingyun’s hand. Her fair hand fell into Ye Chu’s grasp, soft and fleshy, making Ye Chu mutter that the texture was quite good. However, his hand movements were not slow, preventing Ye Jingyun from snatching back the spatial artifact.
What a joke. This was the key to his journey. Without this thing, how could he make those two women Bai Xin and Bai Rou feel the pain.
“The Ice Emperor is already dead!” Ye Chu said lightly. This news absolutely had not spread yet, because the cultivators the Ice Emperor brought with him had mostly died. Only a small handful remained, and they were all following Bai Xin and Bai Rou now.
This was also why Ye Chu had been rushing desperately all this time. He wanted to loot this place clean before Bai Xin and Bai Rou arrived at this imperial city.
A Sovereign’s lair. Ye Chu could not even imagine how many resources it possessed. Thinking that this place was about to be robbed by him, Ye Chu could not help but feel excited. He very likely would strike it rich overnight.
“The Ice Emperor is dead?” The three women were all stunned. How could a Sovereign die so easily? But looking at Ye Chu’s expression, he did not seem to be lying.
The Ice Emperor’s death would absolutely shake the entire region. The thousand li radius would likely fall into chaos because of this news. But why had this news not spread?
“Are you certain?” Ye Jingyun’s breathing grew rapid, her throat rolling as she swallowed saliva. She only felt her entire person parched. If this were truly the case, then…
Ye Jingyun knew the value of this news. Without the Ice Emperor present, there was no deterrent force. Those endless resources, if they could be obtained, Ye Jingyun felt her entire person would boil with excitement.
“I’m going with you!” Ye Jingyun stared at Ye Chu, unable to control her excitement. Those long legs tensed, alluring to the extreme.
Ye Chu rolled his eyes. “Even if the Ice Emperor is not here, this is still an imperial city after all. There are quite a few people with extraordinary strength among them. With your bit of strength, do you think you can defeat them? Of course, if you are willing to use the Ye Family Ancestor Sword, they would not withstand a single blow. But are you willing?”
Hearing Ye Chu’s words, Ye Jingyun fell silent.
Just as Ye Chu said, the Ice Emperor controlled resources within a thousand li radius. The number of powerful experts he possessed was beyond counting. She was not even at the fifth level Xuan Ming Realm. If she went to the imperial city to snatch resources, being surrounded and attacked by powerful experts would absolutely mean grave danger. As for the Ancestor Sword, she was not willing to use it like this.
“Then what do you mean?” Ye Jingyun asked.
“You three wait here to receive me! I will go alone!” Ye Chu answered the three women.
“You alone?” Yang Hui was startled. Even if the Ice Emperor was truly dead, the imperial city still had no shortage of powerful experts. Ye Chu going alone would absolutely be dangerous.
“I can use a secret technique to reach King level.” Ye Chu said with a smile.
“But…” Yang Hui still wanted to say something. After all, even if he was a King, that could not guarantee absolute safety.
“There’s no but about it. A King, even if there truly is danger, wanting to escape is not a problem.” Ye Chu smiled. “This is the only opportunity. If we can snatch a Sovereign’s treasury, at least in the short term, we won’t have to worry about cultivation resources.”
Seeing Ye Chu’s mind was made up, the three women said no more.
“If it really won’t work, just retreat. Resources are never more important than life.” Ye Jingyun reminded Ye Chu, her gaze falling on the spatial artifact. It was unclear whether she was worried about her spatial artifact or worried about Ye Chu.
Ye Chu said nothing more to the group. He instructed them to receive him at a certain location. After all, after Ye Chu used the secret technique, there would be a period of weakness. Having a few people to receive him would put his mind at ease.
Separating from the three women, Ye Chu walked into the imperial city. Stepping into the imperial city, Ye Chu took a deep breath to calm the excitement in his heart. Although the Ice Emperor was no longer here, robbing his treasury would still be difficult.
Just as he said, this time he was playing big. If he could succeed in the robbery, it would absolutely shake the thousand li radius. It would also be enough to drive those two women Bai Xin and Bai Rou mad.
But if he failed, he would truly be in grave danger.
“No matter what, I have to try. I’ve already reached the third level Xuan Ming Realm. Without Sha qi as resources, if I also don’t have Green Origin Pills and the like, relying on my own cultivation, who knows what year or month it will be before I can reach the fifth level Xuan Ming Realm.”
The slower Ye Chu’s strength increased, the higher the possibility of losing himself. Only by constantly growing stronger could he avoid being easily lost by the Supreme Will.
