Chapter 826
“Cousin!”
Zhong Wei and Ye Chu quickly arrived at a place. She looked at the two young men standing there, her face showing joy. She let go of Ye Chu’s hand and ran towards them. “Did my uncle send you two to save me?”
“Cousin Zhong Wei!” Qi Fa Jin and Qi Fa Shui looked at Zhong Wei, their eyes suddenly brightening. Looking at the travel-worn but absolutely beautiful and graceful woman, their hearts also surged with emotion.
“We have been worried about your safety. After arriving here, we only then heard the news that countless people in the wasteland are hunting you.” Qi Fa Jin looked at Zhong Wei and said, “I am relieved that you are fine.”
The two breathed a light sigh of relief, looking Zhong Wei up and down. They had not expected Zhong Wei could make it all the way here. From the moment they heard about the accident with the Seven-Coloured Treasure Ship, their hearts had been in their throats, feeling that Zhong Wei was in grave danger. That was why they had sent a signal to the Qi Sect.
“Where is Zhao Haibo?” Qi Fa Jin and Qi Fa Shui looked around. They only saw Ye Chu standing nearby and did not see Zhao Haibo.
Zhao Haibo had always been under his orders to protect Zhong Wei. He could not be too far from Zhong Wei.
“He is dead!” Zhong Wei said somewhat dimly. “When the Seven-Coloured Treasure Ship had its accident, he perished in order to save us.”
“He is dead?” The two were shocked. This was an outstanding person, whose talent even surpassed theirs. If he could settle down and cultivate, his achievements would certainly surpass theirs. But they had not expected such a person to actually die.
Qi Fa Jin’s expression was grave. He looked at Zhong Wei and said, “What exactly happened? How could the perfectly fine Seven-Coloured Treasure Ship have an accident? And so many people in the wasteland are looking for your whereabouts. Clearly they want to capture you.”
“Someone set up a great formation in the spatial passage. The Seven-Coloured Treasure Ship was destroyed by it. We were forced into the wasteland. I think someone has their eye on me, or on his plans. That is why…” Zhong Wei gave a bitter laugh.
“Hmph! He cannot bring you anything, yet he constantly brings you trouble.” Qi Fa Shui snorted coldly. “I do not know what that old ancestor was thinking, actually arranging for you to be betrothed to him.”
“Do not speak of this!” Zhong Wei shook her head. Then she looked at Ye Chu and said to the two, “Let me introduce you. This is Ye Chu. It was he who brought me here along the way.”
Qi Fa Jin and Qi Fa Shui exchanged a glance, looking at Zhong Wei in surprise. When Zhong Wei introduced him, her face actually bloomed with a beautiful smile. Such a smile seemed like she was introducing someone very close to her.
“Something is strange! What is Cousin Zhong Wei’s relationship with him?” Qi Fa Jin wondered in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He looked at Ye Chu and said, “Many thanks, sir!”
Ye Chu smiled. Seeing Qi Fa Jin’s unconcerned look, he knew they did not believe it was he who had saved Zhong Wei. But Ye Chu would not explain. Whether they believed or not was up to them.
“Cousin!” Zhong Wei, seeing the attitude of her two cousins, felt somewhat displeased in her heart, and called out softly.
Zhong Wei’s such behaviour made Qi Fa Jin and Qi Fa Shui even more dissatisfied. Both of them harboured affection for Zhong Wei, yet Zhong Wei had never used such an attitude towards them. What virtue or ability did this brat have to make their fairy-like Cousin Zhong Wei act like this?
Qi Fa Jin and Qi Fa Shui’s four eyes looked at Ye Chu, carrying hostility within. What qualifications did this seemingly ordinary youth have to make their cousin look at him differently?
“Let us go back first!” The two would not show it either. They smiled at Zhong Wei, thinking they should first bring Zhong Wei back to the Qi Sect.
Just as they were preparing to leave, the expressions of Qi Fa Jin and his brother changed. Their faces grew grave as they looked in one direction. “Someone is chasing us.”
“Hurry and leave!” Zhong Wei shouted at them. “They have seven high-grade Emperors, among them one is a peak Emperor.”
“What?” Qi Fa Jin’s expression turned ugly. He was not afraid of facing high-grade Emperors. But facing a peak Emperor was somewhat strenuous. Reaching peak Emperor, this was already another level. Terrifying enough to make one’s scalp go numb.
“Go!” Qi Fa Jin shouted at Zhong Wei, preparing to lead them in retreat.
Zhong Wei saw Ye Chu still standing there, and shouted at Ye Chu, “Hurry and leave!”
Ye Chu smiled at Zhong Wei and said, “You go first with your two cousins. With them looking after you, you are safe. As for me, I will kill a few of them first.”
“What are you doing?” Zhong Wei was startled, only feeling that Ye Chu was too bold. What was he doing? Deluding himself into thinking he could kill these people. He had just fought with these people. Did he not know how powerful they were?
“Wait until you become stronger, then you will have a chance to kill them. Why must you do this now!” Zhong Wei shouted at Ye Chu, “Hurry and leave. If you do not leave, it will be too late.”
“It is fine! If I am alone, I can leave whenever I want. Among them, one person must die!” Ye Chu must kill Scarred Emperor. Scarred Emperor had not yet spoken of Ye Chu possessing immortal materials, primordial azure qi, and other matters. But there was no guarantee he would not speak of them in the future. Once he realised that Ye Chu’s weapon was forged from immortal materials, and this spread, Ye Chu would certainly face endless powerful experts.
The temptation of immortal materials was too great. Many hidden powerful experts could not resist such temptation.
Then he must kill Scarred Emperor. The news of him having immortal materials, the later it spread, the better!
“Ye Chu, do not be impulsive!” But Zhong Wei was extremely worried. Just now, although Ye Chu had escaped, it was also by luck. Because these people had not used their full strength. But if they fought again now, these people would certainly not hold back. With Ye Chu’s strength, wanting to oppose them would be difficult. Black Sand Emperor alone was enough to threaten Ye Chu.
“You all leave first!” Ye Chu said to Zhong Wei.
Qi Fa Jin could not help but frown and say, “Now is not the time to show off. Come with us. First go to the Qi Sect. Once at the Qi Sect, no matter who is scheming against Cousin Zhong Wei, we are not afraid.”
Ye Chu ignored Qi Fa Jin. His figure rose into the air, shooting towards one direction with speed like lightning. He quickly shot away and disappeared.
“He…” Qi Fa Jin was also somewhat dissatisfied. This youth was too stubborn. He actually completely ignored his words.
“Cousin Zhong Wei, since he does not listen to us, let us leave first.” Qi Fa Shui was also somewhat angry, and said to Zhong Wei.
Zhong Wei bit her lip, and suddenly said to the two, “I cannot leave! Two cousins, please help him. Let us kill these people together.”
“This…” Qi Fa Jin said to Zhong Wei, “Killing one or two is not a problem for us. But if there is a peak Emperor, then we will find it difficult. At this time we should hurry and leave, rather than be reluctant to fight.”
Zhong Wei looked in the direction Ye Chu had left, shook her head and said, “No, he did not leave. I cannot leave alone. Two cousins, since he dares to go and fight, what are you afraid of.”
