"This little brother, this seat is a Jian Family's direct lineage successor. I see that your glabella is dark. There must be a great calamity recently! Quickly come to my place and this old man will teach you the method to resolve it."
"High as mountains and long as rivers, exposed to the winds and rains in travel, Little brother, you're here to find someone, right?"
...
Within Extreme Light Imperial City, it had a totally unique atmosphere.
Ye Yuan walked on the streets, feeling like he entered a base camp of conmen and fortunetellers. There was someone pulling him to go divine his fortunes non-stop.
Some people said it was too profound to understand, making it really seem like the case at first glance.
"These guys are also too obvious in swindling and bluffing people, right? Will there really be this kind of idiot who will fall for it?" Ye Yuan was speechless as he said to Dustless.
But Dustless said, "You're mistaken. They aren't swindling or bluffing."
Ye Yuan was surprised when he heard that and said, "No? Could it be that they can really fortune-tell?"
Dustless nodded and said, "They naturally can! Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets' skill is involved in good fortune. These people peddling on the streets, most have the Jian Family's bloodline. It's just thinner. A person whose destiny is too flourishing, they can't divine it. But how can there be so many people with exuberant destinies? The vast majority of the people are merely mortals. Us cultivators are the most s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e to matters of good or ill luck and weal or woe. Some martial artists will specifically make a trip to Extreme Light Imperial City before entering a mystic realm to divine their fortunes. How can they come into contact with members of the Jian Family? These people naturally become their first choice. Although it might not be accurate, it can more or less still achieve the goal of pursuing good fortune and avoiding disasters."
Ye Yuan was also extremely surprised when he heard that, not expecting that there was still so much involved in this.
These people looked too debased. Hence, it gave him a very unreliable feeling.
He did not expect that these people actually all had some skill.
Ye Yuan was also secretly shocked in his heart. Just how powerful was this Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets? Even just getting tainted by a tiny bit of bloodline and they could have such divination and scrying skills.
No wonder the martial artists in Extreme Light Imperial City were so many. It turned out that they were all aiming for the aura viewing art.
Different from Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, the majority inside Extreme Light Imperial City were clearly foreign martial artists.
Divine Lord Realm powerhouses could be seen everywhere on the streets.
Using Divine Lords walking all over the place to describe was also not the least bit of exaggeration.
"These people should know where the Profound Secrets Pavilion is. Let's go over and ask," Ye Yuan said to Ning Tianping.
At this time, a shy little girl came up to greet and said to Ye Yuan weakly, "Sir, fortune-telling? Come to our house, my father still has quite a bit of attainment in the path of divining fortunes."
Ye Yuan originally had no plans of divining fortunes and was just asking for directions. But this little girl had a pitiful appearance, Ye Yuan somewhat did not have the heart to do so.
"Then … fortune-tell then! Tianping, you go," Ye Yuan said.
Ning Tianping froze and pointed at himself as he said in surprise, "I-I go?"
Ye Yuan scolded with a smile, "Ask you to go, just go, what's with the nonsense?"
Ning Tianping nodded and said, "Okay!"
These stalls were all placed on the streets and could be seen everywhere. One look and it was clear that the level was very low.
Not far ahead, there were still shop fronts that also had signboards that wrote augury and aura viewing on it. Clearly, they were much more high-end.
At these stalls, everyone was calling out, vying to pull people to come and fortune-tell.
Those who dared to yell, the business was all pretty good too.
Rather, this little girl's home was deserted, with nobody showing any interest.
Clearly, the people setting up stalls on the streets, their bloodline were all extremely thin, even the Jian Family would not acknowledge.
They were forced to make a living. That was why they did this kind of thing.
Otherwise, with Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets's prestige, they would not be reduced to such a plight.
Ye Yuan went over to take a look, this little girl's father was actually a cripple. Even walking was somewhat difficult, no wonder he would let a timid little girl go to the streets to pull people.
When Ye Yuan saw the situation, he stepped forward and said with clasped hands, "Elderly person, give this little brother of mine a good aura viewing and divination."
This old geezer was very haggard, his face with the vicissitudes of life. Seeing that there were guests, he barely managed to squeeze out a smile and said to Ning Tianping, "Please sit! I wonder what this little brother is testing?"
Ning Tianping said, "We came to Extreme Light Imperial City to find people. Elder, just help me to test whether this trip will go well or not!"
That old man nodded his head, fished out a tortoise shell, and started to infuse divine essence1.
A profound divine essence aura spread out, Ye Yuan could not help shaking his head inwardly.
The mysterious aura on this old man was far too weak. Compared to Jian Zhentao, it was simply one up in the heavens, the other down on Earth. No wonder they would end up in such a plight.
The old man fiddled for a bit, his brows could not help furrowing, and he said, "This little brother, pardon this old man for being blunt, but your trip … likely won't go too well. However, you have the help of a noble lord, all troubles can be easily resolved."
Ning Tianping laughed when he heard that and said, "Haha, then that's good! Elder, how much?"
As he said, Ning Tianping was about to pay up, but Ye Yuan's heart stirred and he asked, "Elder, since you know the art of viewing auras, help me take a look at how my brother's destiny is."
The old man nodded his head and mustered up divine essence once more, looking over toward Ning Tianping.
With this look, his expression could not help changing and he shook his head and said, "Two little brothers, pardon this one for being ignorant, but I truly can't see through the two of your destinies."
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Say whatever there is, don't need to be apprehensive."
The old man's expression was somewhat ugly as he said, "Then … alright! This little brother, his destiny is exuberant. This old man's strength is meager and can't see through it. But with this old man's experience, his destiny likely won't be lower than cyan!"
Ning Tianping was also overjoyed when he heard that. Cyan destiny was already a very high-level destiny.
The vast majority of martial artists were only yellow destiny and below.
Looks like ever since encountering His Excellency, his destiny became much more booming!
Ning Tianping asked, "Then what about … my lord's?"
Seeing Ning Tianping ask, the old man's expression became even uglier and he said, "This little brother … has no color. It's likely … unranked!"
The old man looked towards Ye Yuan and there was nothing exciting. The aura viewing art could not stir up a trace of wave at all.
He had inspected countless people and had never seen before such a poorly endowed person.
"Hahaha! A trash who can't even enter the ranks actually dares to come and fortune-tell too! I say, kid, do you still want face or not?"
Suddenly, a burst of loud laughter sounded out. A young man brought several guards and slowly walked over, a mocking expression on his face.
The little girl's expression changed and she hurriedly pushed Ye Yuan away, saying anxiously, "Sir, s-sorry, you hurry up and go!"
Ye Yua
n was naturally not what she could push. He looked at that young master with furrowed brows and said coolly, "You also know the art of viewing auras?"
That young man seemed to have heard some hilarious joke and said with a big laugh, "I also know? Are you joking? This young master, Jian Yu, is a direct lineage descendant of the Jian Family, do you think I know or not?"
Ye Yuan came to a realization and said, "Then do you think that my destiny can't enter the ranks?"
Jian Yu said disdainfully, "Rubbish! This young master used the art of viewing auras to look just now, a stretch of stagnant waters! This young master has never seen before a person with such inferior aptitude. Aren't you getting lost in your head there?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Then your aura viewing level is too lousy, your skill is still lacking!"
Jian Yu's expression changed and he said in a cold voice, "Who the hell do you think you are, to dare evaluate this young master's aura viewing art?"
As the Jian Family's direct lineage descendant, Jian Yu was extremely confident in his aura viewing art. Hearing Ye Yuan's words, he was naturally greatly enraged.
Ye Yuan said coolly, "I naturally have the qualifications, because … your eyes didn't go blind!" Tortoise shells are a 'traditional' Chinese divination tool.
Chapter 1704 - Break the Legs, Throw Out!
"Blind? Pooh! Your eyes are the ones that are blind!"
Jian Yu was furious when he heard that. This guy was cursing him to go blind!
Ye Yuan was naturally not cursing him, but that Jian Yu's aura viewing art was indeed lacking.
If it was like Jian Zhentao, as long as he look at him continuously, his eyes would definitely be blind.
It was precisely because his strength was lacking that he could not see through his actual situation, making it seemed like he had no rank.
That little girl's father was similarly so.
Ye Yuan gave him a look and waved his hand and said, "This young master is getting my fortune told. If you want to get your fortunes told, queue up. Not getting it told, immediately get lost, don't jump up and down here, repulsing people."
Jian Yu's eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a solemn voice, "Brat, you have divination done here already violated this young master's ban! You dare to oppose my Jian Family?"
The moment Ye Yuan heard, he was tickled and said, "Ban? What ban is here saying that I can't get divination done here?"
Jian Yu's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at that young lady and said, "Xiaoran, why don't … you tell him what the outcome will be?"
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed, looking at the girlie curiously.
Ran-er seemed to be like a startled little bunny, her complexion ashen pale, giving people a feeling of unable to help showing tender care when one saw her
Seeing Ye Yuan use a probing gaze to look over, Ran-er said sobbingly, "S-Sir, sorry, it … it was all Ran-er who harmed you! You … You hurry up and go, otherwise … otherwise they will break your legs! Young Master Jian Yu has warned us father and daughter, saying that if anyone has divination done here, he'll break their legs!"
Jian Yu said with a smug look, "Heard that, kid? Don't blame this young master. Want to blame, blame Xiaoran! Go on, break this punk's legs for this young master!"
Over a dozen subordinates rubbed their fists and wiped their palms and surrounded over.
The surroundings, when everyone saw this scene, each and every one of them could not help revealing a look of reluctance.
"Sigh, this kid is also unlucky, to actually provoke Jian Yu this great demon king."
"Xiaoran this lass also has a bitter fate. Their father and daughter duo are being forced into a dead-end!"
"Who asked Jian Yu this great demon king to unwittingly take fancy on Xiaoran this lass? What sin have they committed?!"
...
Clearly, everyone was very apprehensive of this Jian Yu.
Right at this time, a figure suddenly dashed out, flying straight for Jian Yu!
"Jian Yu, I, Zhang Haotian, will fight it out with you! Even if I die, I also won't give Xiaoran to you!"
This was extremely sudden. Everyone did not react to it, but it gave Jian Yu a big fright.
Bang!
Suddenly, a figure blocked in front of Jian Yu, sending Zhang Haotian flying with one punch.
Zhang Haotian collapsed on the ground, fresh blood spewing wildly without ceasing.
Zhang Haotian was merely a second-layered heaven Divine Lord, one leg was even crippled.
Jian Yu's subordinate was also first-layered heaven Divine Lord at the very least. So how could Zhang Haotian be a match?
When Ye Yuan saw this scene, his brows could not help furrowing slightly.
The ins and outs of the matter, he had also roughly figured it out.
This Jian Yu took fancy of Zhang Xiaoran's looks and wanted to have her for himself. But Zhang Haotian and Zhang Xiaoran did not agree.
Hence, even though Jian Yu forbade them father and daughter from setting up a stall, he did not make things difficult for them either. He came up with a lousy rule of beating anyone who came to get a divination.
When this father and daughter two people had no livelihood, they would naturally give in obediently.
Zhang Xiaoran was naturally unresigned to it. So taking the chance when Jian Yu was not around, she pulled Ye Yuan over to get his fortunes told.
She did not know that Jian Yu dispatched informants around them. The moment Ye Yuan sat down, he knew.
The baffled looking Ye Yuan was swept into this farce without rhyme or reason just like this.
"Zhang Haotian, you're courting death! You all, break this kid's legs for me first, then carry them father and daughter away for me!" Jian Yu said in a great rage.
"Yes!" The bunch of subordinates received the orders and rushed over towards Ye Yuan glaring like ravening tigers.
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Tianping, cripple all of them for me and throw them out!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Ning Tianping answered, suddenly releasing the aura of a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord. Everyone's faces changed.
When Ye Yuan entered the city, he did not want to be too ostentatious, so he had Ning Tianping restrain his aura.
Jian Yu also saw that Ning Tianping's strength was not strong, that was why he was so arrogant.
How could he have thought that Ning Tianping was actually a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord already at a young age!
These few years, Ning Tianping's strength advanced by leaps and bounds following by Ye Yuan's side. He had long broken through to become a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord.
The moment he made his move, how could these initial-stage Divine Lord Realm family guards be his match?
It was only to hear miserable screams linger on incessantly. The entire street instantly became a chaotic mess.
Ning Tianping did not kill people either. It was just that each person had their legs broken by him.
These family guards lay on the ground, wailing without ceasing.
The surrounding onlookers were all dumbfounded with shock.
"What background does this young man have? To actually bring alone a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord as his follower!"
"It's really funny, this young man's destiny doesn't even enter the ranks and is simply a trash. But there's actually a fifth-layered heaven Divine Lord following by his side!"
"Probably he himself and his family clan doesn't know at all, right? Coming to Extreme Light Imperial City this time, his true colors will probably be revealed."
...
At the same time, they were marveling at Ning Tianping's strength. Those stall owners also became curious about Ye Yuan's identity.
Quite a few people secretly mustered up divine essence, observing Ye Yuan's destiny, and discovered that it was indeed a dried-up well without ripples; unable to even stir up a hint of a wave.
Unranked!
"Your Excellency, what to do with this guy?" Ning Tianp
ing asked very calmly.
Jian Yu's face had long turned white. He completely did not expect that he actually kicked a metal plate this time!
"You dare to touch this young master? This young master is a member of the Jian Family! If you touch me, that's climbing on top of the Jian Family's heads! You have to think about the consequences!" Although Jian Yu was afraid, at the thought of the Jian Family's strength, his back immediately straightened up.
Sure enough, the moment Ning Tianping heard, he immediately revealed a look of hesitation.
They came to seek help from the Jian Family this time. If they offended the Jian Family, it would not be easy to clean up the mess.
Jian Yu observed his expression and words, and immediately said to Ning Tianping smugly, "Kid, your strength is pretty good, sticking with this young master in the future is definitely much more promising than that good-for-nothing! I'll tell you very responsibly, that kid is simply a trash who can't enter the ranks!"
When Ning Tianping heard that, his face revealed a strange look.
If His Excellency was trash, then all in this world was waste residue.
He laughed in spite of himself and said, "Fool, your aura viewing art is really lacking! Wait till you cultivate it entirely and then come and look at His Excellency again. You'll know why he said that your eyes didn't go blind!"
At this time, Ye Yuan said coolly, "Still waiting for what? Break his legs and throw him out! Being noisy in this place!"
Jian Yu's expression changed greatly when he heard that and said, "You … You really dare to make a move? You … You have to think of the consequences well! Those who touch my Jian Family's members all don't have a good outcome!"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Just your bit of strength is also fit to represent the Jian Family? Then the Jian Family really doesn't have anyone anymore! Tianping, do it!"
"Yes, my lord!"
With Ye Yuan's order, Ning Tianping no longer hesitated, directly sweeping over and breaking Jian Yu's two legs in no time flat.
"Argh! Brat, you'll regret it! Ahh!" On the street, came Jian Yu's shrill and miserable screams.
