Chapter 177: Ye Qinxian Forcefully Borrows an Imperial Weapon
The emperor of the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty explained the situation of the refugees in Juyong County and how several of their offerings had perished at the opponent’s hands.
Upon hearing the emperor’s words, the old man furrowed his brow.
He thought for a moment and said, "It is not appropriate for me to take action now. The imperial weapon must remain in the defensive formation and cannot leave the palace. If that woman arrives and the imperial weapon is not there to defend, the entire Imperial City might be destroyed."
"Therefore, you should send people to negotiate with the other side. If we can persuade them to join us, it would mean a significant ally for the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty."
"But what if we cannot persuade them?"
"If we cannot persuade them, it means the benefits you offered were not substantial enough." The old man lightly stated, "My bottom line is that I can offer up to a royal title, a section of holy-level technique, and designate a territory for them to occupy."
Hearing this, the emperor of the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty’s expression changed instantly.
"Ancestor, is that not too much to give?"
"That depends on your ability to negotiate with them. I am not in a good state to take action, so you will have to handle it."
The old man lightly spoke, "Moreover, I can only live for another fifty years. I have already been sealed by the spirit source three times, and it no longer benefits me.
I hope you can cultivate a saint within fifty years; otherwise, our royal family will have to keep a low profile."
Upon hearing this, the emperor fell silent.
Cultivating a saint within fifty years was undoubtedly impossible! Saints were not easy to cultivate.
"Ancestor, if you are gone and that woman returns, what should we do?" the emperor asked the old man.
"If the dynasty faces destruction, you can seek help from the Yu Hua Ancient Star. We have a supreme ancestor who self-slaughtered an imperial weapon and now sleeps on the Yu Hua Ancient Star…"
Meanwhile, Ye Qinxian had just flown out of the capital’s territory when she suddenly sensed a divine sense scanning her.
The next moment, a message was transmitted to her.
Frowning at the information, Ye Qinxian quickly changed directions and flew over!
Soon, Ye Qinxian arrived at a manor.
As she arrived, the formations of the manor rapidly opened. Ye Qinxian hesitated briefly and then flew inside.
"Junior Jishi Wuming pays respects to senior."
A young man who looked to be around thirty years old respectfully bowed to Ye Qinxian.
"Who are you? Why did you call me here?" Ye Qinxian asked the young man.
"Senior, we are people from the Heavenly Court."
"Heavenly Court?" Ye Qinxian frowned; she had never heard this name before!
"Senior, the Heavenly Court is the continuation of the ancient Heavenly Court. After the ancient Heavenly Court was destroyed, our ancestors fled to the Big Dipper Star Field. The Ascended Emperor was once part of the Heavenly Court, but he betrayed it and established the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty. Our branch of the descendants of the Heavenly Court has continued." The young man explained.
"Oh, and what does this have to do with me?" Ye Qinxian inquired.
"Senior, you have a grudge against the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty, and so do we. We can cooperate." The young man proposed to Ye Qinxian.
"Oh? Cooperation? How would that work?" Ye Qinxian asked lightly.
"Senior, the reason you cannot break the Protective Formation of Yu Hua Imperial City is that within the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty’s Imperial City lies a protective formation guarded by an imperial weapon. That was the famed imperial weapon of the Ascended Emperor," the young man lightly said. "However, if you had an imperial weapon, breaking through the Imperial City’s protective grand formation would be easy for you!"
"Are you saying you can give me an imperial weapon?" Ye Qinxian asked lightly.
"Senior, you jest. Our Heavenly Court’s strongest is only a top-grade sacred artifact," the young man replied with a sheepish smile.
"Since you cannot give me an imperial weapon, why mention it?" Ye Qinxian furrowed her brow.
"Senior, while I cannot provide you with an imperial weapon, I know where one is located."
"Oh? How so?" Ye Qinxian inquired.
"Senior, a few months ago, a group of refugees rebelled in Juyong County. The refugee leader is just an ordinary person, but for some reason, he obtained an imperial weapon and bonded with it.
Not long ago, the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty sent a Transformation stage cultivator to suppress this rebellious group, but that cultivator was killed by the imperial weapon.
Then, the dynasty dispatched a group of late-stage Divine Transformation cultivators, but they were also eliminated.
In the end, the dynasty sent two Integration stage powerhouses, one of whom was late Integration, and they too were slain by the imperial weapon."
"If you can seize that imperial weapon, I believe the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty’s protective formation would not withstand your attack…" the young man concluded towards Ye Qinxian.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qinxian sneered coldly, "The opponent can easily slay late Integration stage cultivators; they might not be able to kill me. Are you trying to send me to my death?"
Although Ye Qinxian said this, she had already envisioned the imperial weapon as her own. An imperial weapon capable of slaying Integration stage cultivators would be perfect for breaking through the protective formation of the Yu Hua Divine Dynasty.
Moreover, while she could kill without blinking an eye, she would not casually seize someone’s imperial weapon. She could at most borrow the other’s imperial weapon and return it later.
"Senior, that imperial weapon can indeed kill Integration stage cultivators, but to kill a saint is likely impossible. If you are willing to make the trip, the imperial weapon is easily obtainable."
"Furthermore, I have heard that many people and powerful entities know about that ordinary person’s possession of the imperial weapon. If you arrive too late, the imperial weapon might be snatched away."
Hearing this, Ye Qinxian fell into thought.
After a moment, she asked lightly, "Is that person still in Juyong County?"
"Yes," the young man nodded in response.
"Alright, I owe you a favor." Ye Qinxian said to the young man.
After that, she quickly left the manor.
Once outside, she rapidly flew towards Juyong County.
Ye Qinxian’s speed was swift.
Within two hours, she arrived above Juyong County.
She scanned the area with her divine sense and soon discovered Tuoba Ye, who bore the imperial weapon.
However, just as Ye Qinxian’s divine sense scanned Tuoba Ye, the weapon spirit of the imperial weapon also detected her presence.
Instantly, the weapon spirit hurriedly alerted Tuoba Ye.
"What! I am being targeted by a Great Ascension stage saint?" Tuoba Ye felt his hair stand on end.
During this period, he had gained a thorough understanding of the cultivation system.
Currently, the highest tier in the Big Dipper Star Field was the Great Ascension stage powerhouse, as no great emperor had emerged for over a hundred thousand years.
Being targeted by a Great Ascension stage powerhouse made his hair stand on end!
Just as Tuoba Ye was feeling anxious, Ye Qinxian soon arrived before him.
If it weren’t for the weapon spirit reminding him that the other side held no killing intent, he might have ordered the imperial weapon to attack directly.
"Junior, may I borrow your imperial weapon for a moment?" Ye Qinxian asked lightly, addressing Tuoba Ye.
