Chapter 179 - Split

Ye Wei, the inheritor of the Glacial Emperor’s legacy, had an almost unlimited supply of weaponry. What others deemed rare and precious he cared little for.

Unless they contained earth stances, there were not a lot of scrolls that interested him, except, of course, rare scrolls that had functions other than standard offensive or defensive stances.

“You little prick!” Lu Qianying had chased Ye Wei for the entire evening. He could even feel the fabric on Ye Wei’s face mask. He felt outraged, his target had so casually slipped away.

Lu Qianying glanced at the valley and grunted heavily. He decided to enter with slight hesitation in his eyes and hindrance in his movements.

Lu Li and the rest of the Lu’s men entered the valley following the elder’s lead.

“Bang!”

Just as Lu Qianying and his men entered the valley, the Qi swords fired by Ye Wei had entered a cave at the bottom of the valley. These golden energy blades crashed onto the cave’s sides and exploded.

‘Howl! Howl!”

The explosion shook the cave. When the explosion quieted, there emerged a few hundred pairs of eyes; they opened simultaneously, furious and blood-thirsty.

“Roar!”

Inside the dark cave, the pack of wolves’ eyes resembled hundreds of fierce yellow lights. Their eyes glowing like the moon in the dark morning air.

“Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!”

At the exact moment Lu Xianying, Lu Li and the other ten-star condensed prime level pursuers entered the valley, a few hundred blood wolves rushed out of the cave. The sound was like a stampede of nearly a thousand paws stomping heavily. All the trees shook, and the stones on the ground loosened and rumbled.

“Shit! Blood wolves, a large pack of them!” the Lu’s heard the deafening howl. They were terrified to see the glowing red-yellow eyes between the branches.

“Sweet Sages, there are hundreds of them!”

The Warriors’ legs shook and their guts churned; intimidated by the blood wolves’ sinister reputation, they were told since they were young that these wolves would kill you or die trying.

“You little bastard! I will cut you into little pieces whenever I find you!” Lu Qianying’s face paled. His veins bulged up and his bloodshot eyes were as red as a beet. He looked in Ye Wei’s direction imagining he was killing right then.

Being tricked by a kid was more than just humiliating for a returned prime Warrior, it was shameful. Furthermore, Lu Qianying was struggling to stay calm after a restless night.

Lu Qianying’s sensing stance was blocked by the thick rocks while Ye Wei’s will-force went into the caves and detected the wolves before any of the Lu’s did.

Lu Qianying was raging. He felt like a seasoned hunter being humiliated by its prey. He stopped and stood still. His golden Qi rushed out of his dantian, the pressure of the energy burst dug a three hundred feet wide and three feet deep pit; the fissure on the ground spread across half of the valley.

‘High-level Myst stance, Golden Mountain Seal!’ Lu Qianying’s bloodshot eyes spotted Ye Wei, who was hiding next to a cliff.

He ignored the charging wolves and did not bother to protect Lu Li and the other Warriors. He swiped his hand forth and made a few rune sequences.

The cubby elder was more than ready to lose a few of his men if that ensured Ye Wei’s death. For him, it was more important to keep the secret about the Drakehead safe than a few lives. It was for the greater good.

The burst of golden runic light condensed in the sky. It formed a sixty foot tall pyramid shape. The sheer mass of the runes gave it a force of attraction as well as an immense pressure.

The pyramid crushed and compressed the air, a rumbling sound echoed throughout the valley while tens of blood wolves were smashed and pressed into a meat paste.

“Awoo!”

“Awoo!”

The three high-grade blood wolf leaders saw the violent death of their allies. With their superior and almost human-like intellect, they identified the murderer to be Lu Qianying. The leaders of the pack howled furiously. The runes on their bones began to flow; they sought revenge.

The seven mid-grade blood wolves followed their leaders. Their bloodthirsty eyes were set on the enormous pyramid.

The stronger ones of the pack accelerated and turned into trails of blood in the sky.

The wolves jumped. Their bodies flashed beside Ye Wei, but his Qi-less presence was not their target. Their revenge filled noses pointed at Lu Quianying.

“Awoo!”

Hundreds of wolves howled. Their heads pointed up towards the sky, mourning but also cursing. They were angered by the human intruders and their violent murderous act.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The trails of red proceeded in astonishing speed, crushing into the runic pyramid.

The pyramid’s fearsome force knocked the mid-grade blood wolves back. They fell on the ground and were paralyzed by the jagged rocks. The three pack leaders were bleeding out from their mouths.

The wolf pack leaders were a bit stronger than the ten-star condensed prime Warriors. However, the forbidden high-level Myst stance used by a returned prime Warrior was not something they could defeat or defend themselves from.

The pack did not stop the pyramid from falling, but its path had been altered.

“Rumble!”

The pyramid flew right next to Ye Wei. It shadowed his face before landing on the rocky cliff. The pyramid’s raging energy exploded, and the cliff collapsed. All hundred feet of the cliff slid down, the east side of the valley was now flattened.

“Is this the power of returned prime Warrior with only a flick of his finger!?” Ye Wei’s pupils dilated. His back was soaked with sweat. All the hair on his arm and legs stood up from his goosebumps. ‘The returned prime Warrior’s power was unnatural!’

Recently, Ye Wei began to be more confident with his cultivation level, but he now realized how vulnerable he truly was. He saw the wrath of the returned prime Warrior with his own eyes. He was not sure if he had enough time to avoid the pyramid strike even with the aid of scrolls. He needed to escape quickly as possible.

“Lu’s you can have fun with the blood wolves, I am out of here!” Ye Wei inhaled long and deep. After calming down, he stomped the floor, leaving a trail of star-like runes behind him as he escaped to the outskirts of the mountains.

After witnessing the power of the chubby elder, Ye Wei just wanted to be as far away from the fatal danger.

“You brat! Where do you think you are going? You’re staying here with us!” Lu Qianying could see Ye Wei was trying to get away. He grunted and tried to leap towards the disguised kid’s direction. However just as he was going to leap forth, he found himself surrounded by hundreds of wolves.

The fanged beasts were violent and reckless. Although they could not threaten Lu Qianying’s life, they were capable of immobilizing him momentarily. When he managed to free himself, Ye Wei was out of his sight entirely.

Furious and crazed, Lu Qianying once again activated his sensing stance. Nevertheless, this time, it was all too late. He could not sense the tiny amount of energy the mysterious assassin gave off.

“This kid wouldn’t dare enter the mountain range. He has to be hiding somewhere in the outskirt area. Now, go and search for him!” Lu Qianying’s face was completely red, “I want the ten-star condensed prime Warriors to lead a team of five each. Cover every inch of ground back towards the bay area. Bring me that kid dead or alive!”

“And if you don’t bring me that kid, consider yourselves exiled!” he irately shouted. His red hair fluttered in the breeze as he forcefully tried to scan around.

“Yes sir!” Each and every one of the Lu’s bent down, bowing to Lu Qianying’s supremacy.

Though the teams were all condensed prime Warriors, they did not feel entirely safe being in the area. They just had a near death experience involving the large pack of blood wolves. They would rather leave and remain alive.

“Come, take a jade amulet, each of you. If you see that kid or feel like you are in danger, break it. The kid we are chasing is armed with many rare scrolls. I fear he has more tricks up his sleeves.” Lu Qianying spoke as he handed each of the team leaders a forbidden high-level Myst scroll.

“I don’t care if you have to sacrifice your lives, or even your teammates’. Just stay alive long enough to keep the kid there for twenty seconds, and I will be there. The amulet will help me locate you.”

“Yes sir!” shouted Lu Li. This morning the head elder’s grandchild had acted his most subservient he had ever done in his entire life or would ever.
