Ye Tian: Thief! Plundering My Opportunities

It was rumored that Mount Zhenwu was the place where the Great Emperor Zhenwu pointed to the nine heavens and ascended.

However, there were no fewer than a hundred places named Mount Zhenwu in Great Shang.

But Su Changqing was almost certain in his heart that the Great Emperor Zhenwu must have visited this mountain.

Whether it was the Profound Heaven True Water or the bizarre scene beneath the dry well, if spoken of, it would be enough to shock the martial arts world.

A figure dressed in ink-black, with a handsome and youthful appearance, emerged from the dense forest and mountain streams. He walked with a powerful stride, leaving no trace on the grass.

He returned to the main path but suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowing.

On the blood-stained main path, an unknown young eunuch's corpse had appeared at some point. The eunuch died a gruesome death, wearing a red eunuch robe and a skillful craftsman's hat.

"Someone from the East and West Factories?"

Su Changqing gently touched the corpse with his fingertip. It was still warm; the person had died no more than two hours ago.

"Someone from the West Factory's Director Li Lianying? How could they know about my Imperial Guard Enforcement Agency mission?"

Su Changqing pondered in his mind. This corpse was deliberately left for him to see.

No matter who this person was, if they killed their own allies instead of the enemy, they must be a ruthless and cold-blooded individual.

As the Director of the West Factory, why would Li Lianying personally travel hundreds of miles to kill Su Changqing? It must be one of Li Lianying's subordinates.

The presence of this corpse here indicated that the West Factory had been here, exposing that someone within the Imperial Guard had betrayed Su Changqing.

Although Su Changqing had never met this person, they were truly extraordinary.

Shifting the blame, a single corpse revealed so much.

"Not simple. Perhaps he's a major villain like Qing Jiang, but I don't know who it is..."

Su Changqing fell silent.

He had long realized that even seemingly minor characters possessed great wisdom and understanding of human interaction.

For example, Qing Jiang, Li Kongxiang, Ji Xingyue, and so on...

Some people appeared weak and temporarily compromised, living under the heel of others.

In reality, their destinies were exceptionally powerful, destined to roar through the nine heavens.

Of course, as long as he, the destined great villain, didn't interfere and plunder them...

"If I didn't plunder and change my destiny, I would have likely died in that blizzard, frozen to death on the streets."

He took the Enforcement Agency mission to Mount Zhenwu, his whereabouts must have been leaked by Ye Tian!

This was also the eunuch's plan, to make Su Changqing clash with Ye Tian.

"How laughable. How did this person know I would see through it? Let's see how you act next..."

Su Changqing burst into laughter and turned to leave.

Ye Tian had not hesitated to betray his allies and leak his whereabouts, nearly sending him to the gates of hell.

He and Ye Tian were bound to have a battle!

But this eunuch behind the scenes was likely terrifying in the future, a true old schemer, even surpassing Li Lianying.

He should meet them early.

Fighting heaven, fighting people, is infinitely joyful.

Imperial Guard, Enforcement Agency Mission Hall.

Inside the grand hall, with pillars supporting the roof, nearly eight hundred Imperial Guards were present.

The person in the center, surrounded by others, had arched eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a jade-like face, and an exceptionally handsome demeanor.

The person wore a long, jet-black saber at his waist, and his aura was extraordinary, with faint sounds of Tiger-Leopard Thunder resonating.

Yet, his outward appearance was calm and gentle, like placid water, resembling a noble young master of the secular world.

The top prodigy of the Enforcement Agency! Ye Tian!

"Ye Tian has broken through to the Xiantian Realm. Our Enforcement Agency has gained another Deputy Thousand Household, a strong expert in the Xiantian Realm!" Jin Yichuan said with a hearty laugh.

Ye Tian's subordinates below all looked invigorated, including Ye Ronghuo.

With Ye Tian becoming a Deputy Thousand Household and commanding five hundred men, second only to the Thousand Households like Zuo Qianhu and Jin Yichuan, his future achievements were immeasurable!

"Today, I should have become a full Thousand Household." Ye Tian looked at Jin Yichuan, falling silent, sighing inwardly.

He had instinctively sensed that Mount Zhenwu held something unusual.

Jiang Tianfeng had been cultivating Profound Heaven True Qi and had stayed on this mountain for over ten years without leaving. There might truly be an opportunity there.

"Even if this brat doesn't die at Jiang Tianfeng's hands, he will surely die at the hands of those eunuchs. When I go to Mount Zhenwu, I can still complete this mission!"

Ye Tian accepted the Deputy Thousand Household waist token bestowed by Jin Yichuan, his thoughts racing, his killing intent like the sea.

When he was at the ninth level of True Qi, he hadn't dared to go.

He had also planned to break through to the Xiantian Realm to have complete confidence in killing Jiang Tianfeng and the over a hundred bandits.

What gives Su Changqing the right to do that?

He didn't believe it.

The Seven Orifices Exquisite Body allows for photographic memory, a martial arts prodigy.

How could he be compared to someone who crawled up from a mere handyman?

Jin Yichuan, pleased, gave him the waist token and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, the doors of the great hall were opened, and a figure clad in ink-black clothes, wielding the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, slowly strode in.

His body erupted with Xiantian True Qi, like a dragon soaring and a tiger roaring, dazzling the world.

He lightly planted the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, and the indestructible bluestone slabs immediately shattered, the blade's hilt sinking straight into the ground!

"Trouble you, Deputy Thousand Household Jin, to give me another deputy thousand household waist token," Su Changqing said with a light, cupped-hand smile.

The young man before him was handsome, dressed in the Imperial Guard's Flying Fish Garment, his waist adorned with Snow Drifting, his demeanor as refined as jade, like an exiled immortal descended from the heavens.

"Good lad! He killed Jiang Tianfeng and broke through to the Xiantian Realm, his Hunyuan Unbroken!

"He deserves it!"

Jin Yichuan exclaimed in surprise and delight, praising him instantly.

From afar, watching the youth in black, all the Imperial Guards fell silent, their hearts filled with terror!

Su Changqing alone, with his single saber, had wiped out the bandits of Mount Zhenwu and killed Jiang Tianfeng; this feat was simply unimaginable!

That Azure Dragon Crescent Blade was forged from Vajra iron, wielded by Guan Gong's son, Guan Ping.

A blade that could uproot mountains and dominate the world, crafted by a master, its mere cost was enough for three thousand taels!

If casually tossed into an auction, it would fetch nearly five thousand taels!

Not to mention, Su Changqing had even broken through to the Xiantian Realm, on par with Ye Tian!

Su Changqing had risen from a handyman disciple, through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, his accomplishments openly known to all.

He had assassinated the Scarlet Blood Scholar a hundred miles away and, in ten major missions, single-handedly annihilated the bandits of Tianfeng Village!

He shone as brightly as a rising star.

From now on, he must not be provoked lightly!

In the center of the crowd, Ye Ronghuo remained silent, his eyes filled with bitterness. His younger brother, with the Seven Orifices Exquisite Body and the Xiantian Realm, was already considered exceptionally outstanding.

But Su Changqing's rise, in comparison, was undoubtedly faster and more terrifying.

Therefore, all the Imperial Guards would compare Ye Tian with Su Changqing.

Ye Tian's face darkened. Pushing aside the crowd, he walked forward step by step, his gaze sharp as lightning, fixed intently on Su Changqing.

"You dog thief, how dare you steal my opportunities!"

His voice was piercing and filled with murderous intent, causing the entire hall to fall silent.
