Chapter 1001: Chapter 975: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Path

After dealing with Old Tao Qi, Tangyu immediately said, “Let’s go!” Then he felt the spatial fluctuations coming through, and a Void Gate opened directly in the void, sucking both Tangyu and the other into it.

With a flash of light, when the void stabilized, Tangyu and his companion discovered that they were now on a mountainous terrain, no longer in Shi Que Palace.

Old Tao Qi was also momentarily lost, gazing around for a good while before taking a deep breath, his expression somewhat excited: “Haha, I’ve finally come out. I, Qi Xingtian, have been trapped for over a hundred years, and today I’ve finally come out. The air outside is indeed refreshing.”

Being trapped for over a hundred years, such feelings are something no one can comprehend. Only those who’ve experienced it firsthand can understand how real it is.

Tangyu took a look around, he was unfamiliar with this place, but he was sure they had left the Dark Nether Region, and were now at its edge, with the Dark Nether Region behind them.

Tangyu took out a map and compared it, discovering, “So this is the realm of the Sunset Sect, right next to the realm of the Yanshan Sect. It’s not too far off.”

The spatial fluctuations resumed, and two figures walked out of the void—Zi Cang and Zhuang Qian. As the two emerged, they were also bewildered and stunned, their gazes falling on Tangyu and Old Tao Qi, before looking around, not understanding what was going on.

“Wasn’t I on the bridge? How did I get here? Where is this?”

“Hmm, this is within the Sunset Sect’s realm. We’re no longer in Shi Que Palace? How could this be, we didn’t pass the trial to gain opportunities, why were we inexplicably transported out?”

Zhuang Qian’s gaze fell on Tangyu and Old Tao Qi, “Tangyu, how did you—”

Tangyu smiled, “Zhuang Qian, brother, don’t panic, let me explain to you.”

Tangyu briefly explained the situation, but he didn’t mention becoming the fifth owner of Shi Que Palace, only saying he had gained some opportunities inside and could take people out of Shi Que Palace.

With this explanation, Zhuang Qian and Zi Cang had no doubts and were filled with sighs and emotions.

“I knew Tangyu would definitely gain some opportunity, didn’t expect we ended up studying with the Crown Prince. But this kind of opportunity is hard to come by. If we don’t get it, then we just don’t; there’s nothing more to say.” Zhuang Qian shook his head.

Zhuang Qian and Zi Cang naturally harbored no jealousy, genuinely happy for Tangyu. In contrast, they felt lucky; if it weren’t for Tangyu gaining the opportunity, they might have all perished in Shi Que Palace.

Zi Cang sighed softly, “Alas, we managed to come out alive, but we still don’t know where my second brother is, nor whether he’s alive or dead.”

Zhuang Qian shook his head too, “Indeed, sigh.”

Tangyu wanted to say the second brother was alright, but if he said that, he wouldn’t know how to explain how he knew. So, he could only swallow it and say, “Believe second brother will be fine; he may have an opportunity elsewhere.”

Zhuang Qian said, “That’s possible. I’ve heard of people being swallowed by a spatial vortex and not only survived but also gained considerable opportunity. Blessing or misfortune relies on fate; I trust Brother Yu Feng won’t be so unlucky.”

After calming their emotions, Tangyu said, “Let’s go back now.”

This journey, everyone gained something, making it worthwhile.

“Hmm?” Just about to leave, Tangyu suddenly frowned, seeing two figures approaching. Seeing these two figures, a murderous intent surged in Tangyu’s heart. Because these two were none other than Liang Fengnian and Wooden Sword.

Liang Fengnian also spotted them, and upon seeing Tangyu and the others, he was clearly taken aback. Especially when he saw Old Tao Qi beside Tangyu, he was utterly puzzled, with a strange glint in his eyes.

How could those trapped in Shi Que Palace come out?

This is something unheard of; how could this happen?

Moreover, why would Old Tao Qi be with Tangyu and them, appearing to get along well? This made Liang Fengnian quite uneasy. He had suffered a big loss to Old Tao Qi, losing a trump card, and he harbored a strong resentment against him.

Seeing Tangyu and the others now naturally felt like narrow roads meeting foes.

Zhuang Qian and Zi Cang were also visibly displeased upon seeing Liang Fengnian, as he nearly caused their demise in Shi Que Palace, it felt akin to enemies meeting.

With Old Tao Qi by their side, Tangyu and the others naturally felt no fear, remaining composed and at ease.

“Hmph, you three really have some luck, you actually made it out.” Liang Fengnian did not bother to conceal his nature at this moment, sneering coldly as he spoke.

Tangyu responded with a cold laugh, “Not too bad, at least not worse than your luck. If you can make it out, naturally, so can we. Opportunities aren’t exclusive to you alone. Surviving your schemes in Shi Que Palace shows our luck was indeed great. I’ve remembered this grudge, and one day I will repay you.”

Hearing Tangyu’s words, Liang Fengnian laughed instead of getting angry, his laughter filled with sarcasm and disdain, his gaze upon Tangyu full of contempt, “Haha, repay me? Interesting, truly interesting. I’ve seen many arrogant people, but as arrogant as you, daring to be so insolent in front of me, you’re the first. Seeking revenge on me, just you? Hmph, even if given the chance, you’re not even a match for one of my strikes. A mere disciple of Yanshan Sect, daring to jump around like this, how truly ignorant.”

“With a single command from me, your Yanshan Sect would be utterly destroyed.”

Tangyu said, “Prince Liang’s high spirits are impressive, indeed I believe you have such power, as the esteemed prince of Liang Kingdom, it’s true you could easily command the destruction of a sect. But because of this, must I bow to you? Must I bury my hatred and flatter you? This is a personal vendetta between us, and I trust Prince Liang is not someone who would drag personal grudges onto a sect.”

“Hmph, a personal vendetta indeed. Very well, Tangyu. This prince gives you a chance, if you have the guts, feel free to seek revenge upon me anytime you wish. But know, the day you do is also the day you die.” Liang Fengnian sneered continuously, completely disregarding Tangyu, filled with inherent scorn.

His arrogance was truly off-putting.

However, being a prince of Liang Kingdom, high above, it was naturally beneath him to see others.

Faced with Tangyu’s provocation, he was naturally enraged, feeling his dignity infringed upon.

Tangyu sneered coldly, “Why wait, I can settle this grudge right now. Elder Qi, kill them.”

At these words, Liang Fengnian’s expression changed abruptly, his brow twitching.

Qi Xingtian did not hesitate a moment, directly charged forth, a brilliant sword light tearing apart a thousand-foot span of space, within a split second reaching before Liang Fengnian and his companion.

“Damn you, Tangyu! You seek death!” Liang Fengnian was thoroughly enraged, as the prince of Liang Kingdom, being provoked so, naturally he was livid, bloodthirsty intent swelling within him.

Wooden Sword’s face also darkened, gritting his teeth as he charged forth, loyally defending.

But Qi Xingtian was a formidable Golden Core Realm master, without the suppression of Shi Que Palace in the outside world, his power was incredibly vast, far more terrifying than within Shi Que Palace. No matter how strong Wooden Sword was, he was only a Mystic Law Realm Ninth Layer expert, how could he be a match for Qi Xingtian?

Liang Fengnian’s delicate face twisted into a grim smile.

Boom—

Qi Xingtian’s forceful sword strike slammed down, directly sending Wooden Sword flying backward, vomiting blood. Liang Fengnian also felt some shockwaves, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, a chill in his eyes.

With a sudden move of his hand, he produced a Talisman Treasure, grabbing Wooden Sword and crushing the Talisman Treasure, instantly opening a passage in the void.

“Hmm, a Teleportation Talisman!” Qi Xingtian’s brow furrowed immediately.

“Hmph, Tangyu, I will remember this score today. If I don’t kill you, I am not a Liang! We’ll see about that.” Leaving behind harsh words, Liang Fengnian vanished into the void, teleporting away.

“He got away—” Tangyu shook his head, feeling somewhat uneasy that Liang Fengnian managed to escape after all. Who would’ve thought he had such a powerful Talisman Treasure capable of opening a Void Gate?

Qi Xingtian returned, shaking his head, “Sorry, he had a Teleportation Talisman, I couldn’t kill them.”

Tangyu shook his head, “It’s not your fault, I just underestimated things. The prince of Liang Kingdom, indeed possesses a wealth of treasures, not easily killed. Now that he has escaped, it will be even harder to kill him next time. But no matter, since we’ve completely torn off the mask, there’s nothing more to say. Anyway, I, Tangyu, am not afraid of a Liang Kingdom prince. Hmph, no matter how high his status and position, it’s not easy to manipulate me on a whim.”

Zhuang Qian frowned, “Tangyu, you were rash this time. Whether you could kill Liang Fengnian here or not, you’ve brought yourself great trouble. The power of Liang Kingdom is beyond our reckoning. You’ve truly provoked Liang Fengnian, and your troubles won’t be few in the future. If he truly desires to kill you, sending a squad of Imperial Guards might be enough to wipe out our Yanshan Sect.”

Tangyu said, “Liang Fengnian is someone with extreme pride, I believe he wouldn’t do such a lowly thing. If he really did, I would instead look down on him. If he wants to kill me, he will definitely do it personally. Mobilizing the Imperial Guards shouldn’t be the style of a prince from Liang Kingdom. If to deal with a mere Mystic Law Realm individual, he deems it necessary to call upon Imperial Guards, then he’s not a clever prince, just one who indulges in pleasure. He doesn’t seem like that kind of person, he’s deeply ambitious and cunning. Such a person wouldn’t do foolish things that would make him a laughingstock.”

Zhuang Qian thought for a moment and nodded, acknowledging this was indeed reasonable, although it was still a big issue.

However, since things had come to this point, there was nothing more to say.

“Let’s go back.” Tangyu said.
