Chapter 291: Taking Good Care of You
Thinking of this, Yin Bei Yi fixed her gaze upon Jun Hua and the others, casually waved her hand, and shattered their personal terminals into fragments.
Jun Hua was struck by the force of the blow, stumbling backward several steps and coughing up blood.
Yu Dong’s eyes flared with fury as she shouted: “What are you doing?”
Yin Bei Yi sneered coldly, warning: “Don’t move carelessly, or squashing you will be as easy as crushing an ant.” With that, she turned and left, heading straight for Accompanying Lake residence.
Yu Dong quickly helped Jun Hua steady herself and asked anxiously: “Are you alright?”
Jun Hua shook her head, her gaze turning anxiously toward the light screen: “Wang Jie is in trouble.”
Elsewhere, Lan Qi was leisurely swinging her legs and humming a tune, looking very comfortable.
A woman approached from the distance.
“Younger sister.”
Lan Qi glanced up and smiled: “Elder sister.”
“How is it?” the woman asked gently, “Have there been any abnormalities?”
“Everything is normal,” Lan Qi replied, “Now Yin Bei Yi from Ornate Jade gate is the one watching Jun Hua.”
“Yin Bei Yi?” Her sister frowned thoughtfully, “That one is overly proud. She might not take things seriously enough; still, be cautious.”
Lan Qi handed her sister a slip of paper, reassuring her: “Here is the list of everyone Jun Hua contacted while I was watching. I’ve had them all monitored closely, sister, don’t worry.”
The woman casually glanced at the paper but suddenly froze, staring fixedly at one name: “Wang Jie?”
Lan Qi looked puzzled: “What’s wrong?”
The woman pointed to Wang Jie’s name, her expression becoming grave: “Who is he?”
Lan Qi explained: “Just some lock force cultivator who actively contacted Jun Hua asking to return. According to Jun Hua, he previously served the Silver Radiance Empire as the emperor’s guard. It shouldn’t be a big deal.”
The woman quickly sketched a face in the air, urgently asking: “Is this him?”
Lan Qi’s expression instantly changed, anxiety gripping her: “It’s him! Sister, do you know him?”
The woman was Lan Ning—the one who had fired an arrow at Wang Jie on the Ying Yang battlefield, only to see him evade effortlessly. Wang Jie’s fame on the Ying Yang battlefield was immense.
Lan Ning immediately rushed toward the imperial palace.
Lan Qi hurried after her.
Bursting into the palace, they saw the surveillance screens still active, but Yin Bei Yi was nowhere to be seen.
“Where is Yin Bei Yi?” Lan Ning demanded.
Jun Hua replied weakly: “She left.”
“To where?”
“I don’t know.”
Lan Qi felt her unease deepening: “Sister, what exactly is happening?”
Lan Ning had no time to explain and hurriedly activated a communication, announcing urgently: “Attention, all personnel: Wang Jie has arrived in the imperial capital. He is a Black White heaven six dao wanderer. Repeat, Wang Jie is a six dao wanderer!”
Hearing this, Lan Qi felt her scalp nearly explode.
What had she just heard?
A six dao wanderer?
Meanwhile, Yin Bei Yi had already reached Accompanying Lake residence. She kicked open the gates with a fierce strike, stepping inside as the guards around her collapsed instantly under her crushing star force.
Wang Jie, alerted by the commotion, emerged with a look of surprise: “Yin Bei Yi?”
Yin Bei Yi fixed a cruel grin on Wang Jie, slowly advancing toward him: “Wang Jie, it’s been a long time. I’m here to take good care of you.”
At that very moment, their personal terminals sounded an urgent alarm: “Attention, all personnel: Wang Jie has arrived in the imperial capital. He is a Black White heaven six dao wanderer. Repeat, Wang Jie is a six dao wanderer!”
Yin Bei Yi halted abruptly, staring in shock at the device.
Had she heard correctly?
A six dao wanderer?
Wasn’t that the same terrifying existence as Senior Brother Yan Long?
Wang Jie had also heard clearly, his expression turning strange: [It seems my identity is revealed.]
Yin Bei Yi slowly raised her gaze to meet Wang Jie’s eyes.
Wang Jie merely smiled faintly, nodding toward Yin Bei Yi’s terminal to indicate she should look again.
Yin Bei Yi anxiously checked her terminal once more, seeing Lan Ning’s urgent call. She answered shakily.
“Yin Bei Yi, where are you? The Black White heaven six dao wanderer is here! Hurry and leave!”
Yin Bei Yi swallowed hard, unable to believe it: “Who exactly are you saying is a six dao wanderer?”
Lan Ning urgently replied: “Don’t ask, just hurry back. That Wang Jie is indeed a lock force cultivator, but he’s incredibly powerful. He broke through the Ying Yang battlefield and became the first-ever full-star-realm six dao wanderer of Black White heaven. Quickly return!”
Yin Bei Yi lifted her head, staring blankly at Wang Jie.
Wang Jie placed his hands casually behind his back, asking calmly: “What were you saying you wanted to do just now?”
Yin Bei Yi gulped again, forcing a stiff smile: “We’re fellow disciples of the Frost Radiance sect. I just came by to see if you were doing well, or if you needed anything.”
Wang Jie’s smile widened.
From behind him emerged Yu Zhi, Han Ling, Mo Wan Yin, and others, all staring curiously at Yin Bei Yi.
Yin Bei Yi felt utterly numb.
She no longer knew what to do.
[Heavens, where have I landed myself?]
Wang Jie walked slowly up to her, placing a hand on her shoulder, saying gently: “There’s no need, Senior Sister Bei Yi. You should just rest quietly.” As he spoke, he pressed down firmly, forcing Yin Bei Yi into the ground beneath his feet.
Yin Bei Yi didn’t even dare resist; at this point, resistance was futile.
She had felt an irresistible force.
This was the true strength of a six dao wanderer.
“Elder, we have trouble; they’re about to escape,” Wang Jie said quietly.
Inside the palace, Lan Ning heard Wang Jie’s voice clearly and shouted desperately: “We’ve been exposed! Everyone, charge out now!”
Immediately, countless figures surged up from every direction of the imperial capital, launching into the stars above.
In an instant, the imperial capital’s defenses shattered completely. The starships and warships around the capital shook violently under the surge of escaping power, crashing downward. The imperial capital star and even the nearby Radiant star trembled under the overwhelming assault.
Within the palace, Jun Hua and Yu Dong stared outside in horror, shocked to see such a vast number of hidden masters. The entire imperial palace had been breached.
They had always believed there were only a handful of intruders.
Yet now, even this many powerful figures were fleeing. Just what status did Wang Jie hold?
At Accompanying Lake residence, none moved to intercept the fleeing figures—save for Wu Yuan, who slowly raised his gaze toward the sky.
In that instant, immense star force surged forth from his body, shaking heaven and earth. A suffocating pressure enveloped the entire imperial star, forming a second layer of sky beyond its atmosphere. Forged from tremendous star force, this new celestial dome pressed down on all who tried to flee, completely suppressing them.
One by one, desperate individuals struggled beneath the oppressive heavens, fighting hopelessly against the weight of the stars.
The most striking figure was Yan Long, whose strength erupted, nearly matching the fierce power of a Six Dao Wanderer. Even Wang Jie and Yu Zhi turned their gazes toward him.
Yet, despite Yan Long’s impressive might, facing Wu Yuan was still hopeless.
Wu Yuan himself had once been the strongest Six Dao Wanderer. Now, he stood even higher in the Hundred Star Realm.
Yan Long’s attacks fiercely resisted the oppressive star force, but he couldn’t break through. Gritting his teeth, he unleashed more star force, even resorting to a star method.
Wu Yuan raised his eyes and was about to strike again when, from beyond the starry heavens, a figure walked forth. A sharp, blade-like wave of star force sliced through Wu Yuan’s barrier. Wu Yuan turned to look, and their gazes met in mid-air.
Taking advantage of this split-second breach in Wu Yuan’s defenses, the others swiftly fled through the stars, vanishing into the distance.
Wu Yuan did not pursue, merely standing quietly, eyes fixed upon the retreating figure.
Han Ling frowned, asking softly, “Elder, that person clearly isn’t from the Club. Should we really let him go?”
Given Wu Yuan’s strength, capturing this individual was more than possible. After all, he was Black White Heaven’s strongest Hundred Star elder.
Wu Yuan spoke lightly, “No need. He’s not alone.”
Wang Jie nodded, adding, “This is Third Nebula. Forcing these people to stay would only provoke a great battle, which wouldn’t favor our future plans.”
A disciple voiced dissatisfaction, “But they’re the ones breaking the rules now.”
Yu Zhi shook her head, calmly replying, “Whether they broke the rules isn’t just up to us. The Silver Radiance Empire is one of only two regions in the Third Nebula controlled by our Black White Heaven. Ornate Jade Gate has plenty of reasons to try taking it back. They can easily claim that as their excuse, as long as they never mention the Nan Clan.”
No one else spoke further.
Soon, all eyes fell on Yin Bei Yi, the unfortunate one who hadn’t managed to escape.
Wang Jie crouched down beside Yin Bei Yi, a faint smile on his face as he said softly, “Senior Brother Bei Yi, earlier you mentioned taking good care of me, didn’t you? Why not start by apologizing sincerely to your junior brother?”
Yin Bei Yi’s face turned ashen, despair filling his voice as he pleaded, “Junior brother—no, senior brother—please show mercy and spare my life.”
Wang Jie chuckled, “It’s been such a long time since we brothers talked properly. Let’s catch up now.”
Ornate Jade Gate had withdrawn, leaving the Silver Radiance Empire completely under Black White Heaven’s control.
The others showed no interest in Yin Bei Yi.
Wang Jie questioned him alone, quickly learning the identities of all who had fled and confirming their objective was indeed the Nan Clan.
The location of the Nan Clan’s Red Moon was now widely known, certain to attract even more attention.
Yet, no one knew exactly how to find it.
For Ornate Jade Gate, obtaining the Nan Clan’s legacy was only natural. Unfortunately, this news originated from the Club, forcing everyone to play by the Club’s rules. If they tried forcibly closing off the Third Nebula, it would inevitably lead to war.
War would not favor Ornate Jade Gate.
They had recently lost at the Yin Yang Battlefield. Now, Black White Heaven alone could sweep through the entire Third Nebula—not to mention the experts from the outside, and even those from other Pillars.
Yin Bei Yi continuously begged Wang Jie for mercy, complaining about his hardships, claiming how much he’d cared for Frost Radiance Sect disciples within Ornate Jade Gate, and other pointless words.
Wang Jie had no patience for his whining, directly ordering him to perform the Nine Form Diagram.
Confused, Yin Bei Yi didn’t understand when Wang Jie had acquired such peculiar interests, but he was still forced to comply.
The last person Wang Jie had disguised as was Cang Wu, whose sole value was his identity as a Corpse Sect disciple. But now, Wang Jie himself was Hundred Coffins of Corpse Sect and had no need for such an identity. Yin Bei Yi’s identity was average, but better than nothing.
Having disguised himself countless times, Wang Jie found disguising as a woman still the easiest way to deceive others.
Not long afterward, Jun Hua arrived at Accompanying Lake Residence.
Wu Yuan and the others had no interest in receiving her, leaving Wang Jie alone to greet the guests. Given the numerous powerful outsiders who would soon arrive, it was best for Wu Yuan and the others to maintain some mystery.
Jun Hua was not alone. Yu Dong, Jin Chu, and Man Man accompanied her.
Wang Jie was somewhat surprised to see Jin Chu and Man Man here.
Jin Chu had once been Frost Radiance Sect’s strongest inner disciple, and Man Man had been an inner disciple as well.
It was fortunate they’d survived and hidden within the Frost Radiance Sect.
Jun Hua respectfully bowed deeply to Wang Jie, “Thank you, Big Brother Wang, for saving us. Without your help, my Silver Radiance Empire would surely have suffered greatly.”
Yu Dong and the other women bowed in unison.
Calling him simply ‘Wang Jie’ as before clearly wasn’t appropriate anymore.
Wang Jie didn’t mind her formality, casually replying, “No need for such politeness. It’s been a long time. Things haven’t changed much around here.”
Jun Hua smiled warmly, “Only Big Brother Wang has changed—you’ve become much stronger. I heard you’re now a Six Dao Wanderer of Black White Heaven?”
“Merely luck,” Wang Jie replied modestly.
“Impossible. Not just anyone can become a Six Dao Wanderer of Black White Heaven,” Jun Hua said earnestly. Previously, she hadn’t understood the significance, but Jin Chu explained, revealing just how extraordinary this status was.
Only now did Jun Hua fully grasp Wang Jie’s true standing.
In the entire Third Nebula, only Yan Long could rival Wang Jie’s status now.
Even if the Nan Clan still existed, Wang Jie would be ranked among their top disciples.
The once peerless disciples of Frost Radiance Sect couldn’t even withstand a single strike from him now.
Such was the vastness of the gap between them.
