Chapter 480: Chapter 156 Yue Hongyi, Deadlock

"Could it be that they’ve come for you?"

Luo Cheng stared at the rapidly approaching golden fire ring and asked the Eldest Prince.

The Eldest Prince shook his head. "No one else knows about my visit to Qishan City this time."

Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng was somewhat surprised.

Qishan City, a remote town, rarely sees Awakening Vein Realm experts appear,

let alone a figure of Earth Level Great Power.

The speed of the golden fire ring was astonishing—one moment, it was still ten miles away; the next, it had already reached the sky above Qishan City.

At the center of the fire ring stood a young woman in her early twenties, dressed in a fiery red gown.

Her eyes shone like stars, her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and a red hairband bound a few braids at her forehead. Her stunningly beautiful face had an arresting charm.

What drew particular attention was the flame mark between her brows, adding an air of mysterious elegance.

"Oh, a disciple of the Li Huo Sect from the Great Li Dynasty!"

The Eldest Prince noticed the flame mark on the woman’s forehead and was deeply shocked.

The woman held a young man in her grip.

The young man, dressed in the Inner Sect Disciple uniform of the Fierce Cloud Sect, had a bruised and battered face. Upon seeing the city below, he hurriedly exclaimed:

"Lady Hero, this is Qishan City that you’ve been looking for. Please spare me!"

His gaze was filled with fear, his voice pleading, and he dared not even glance again at the breathtaking woman!

Earlier, in a remote area, he had encountered the stunning woman.

Seeing that she was alone and so striking, he could not resist harboring malicious intentions and spoke some lewd remarks.

To his horror, despite her delicate appearance, her power was unimaginably terrifying—an Earth Level Great Power! With just one stroke, she left him gravely injured, unable to flee, and now he had become a pitiful guide for her to Qishan City.

"Scram! If I see you again, I’ll personally kill you!"

The stunning woman snorted coldly and waved her slender hand, slapping the young man so hard that he flew over a thousand meters away.

After sending him flying, the woman swept her gaze downward, noticing several people watching from below. In a chilling voice, she asked:

"Where is the Luo Family in Qishan City?"

The group had already been struck dumb by her domineering aura. One of them pointed to the southeast side of the city, his teeth chattering:

"It’s... it’s over there! The largest estate with the most conspicuous buildings."

The stunning woman nodded slightly. With a flash of her figure, she appeared above the Luo Family estate.

"Is Luo Cheng of the Luo Family here? Come out!"

Her voice, infused with Essence Energy, echoed throughout the Luo Family estate.

"What’s going on?"

The commotion instantly alarmed the entire Luo Family, who gathered quickly in the plaza.

"Looking for me?"

Luo Cheng was very surprised.

Jin Tiandu chuckled meaningfully. "Master Luo, you sure have a broad network. Even the favored daughter of the Li Huo Sect from the Great Li Dynasty knows you."

The woman couldn’t be older than twenty, yet she was already an Earth Level Great Power, her Essence Energy immense, radiating an aura akin to a raging inferno!

Even Jin Tiandu felt the pressure. Her talent was terrifying and would undoubtedly qualify as the top-tier genius in the Great Yue Dynasty!

Luo Cheng, however, hadn’t the mind to joke.

He was certain he did not know this person.

Judging by her tone, she seemed unfriendly.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Cheng stepped out of the pavilion and declared aloud:

"I am Luo Cheng! Who are you, and what business do you have with me?"

"Oh? So it’s you!"

The stunning woman flashed into the plaza, her mesmerizing eyes carefully assessing Luo Cheng for a long while before she said faintly:

"My name is Yue Hongyi, a disciple of the Li Huo Sect. My mother is from a branch of the Ji Family. By rank, you should call me elder sister. However, since you’ve been exiled from the family and have no ties to the Ji Family, you can just call me by name."

Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng’s eyes sharpened. "You’re from the Ji Family!"

Yue Hongyi nodded, then shook her head in slight self-mockery:

"I can only be considered distantly related. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be sent on such trivial errands. True members of the Ji Family—you’ll know their extraordinary nature the moment you see them."

"By the way, you’ve already crossed paths with Ji Yuanhao, the Divine Son. You should understand this. He is the star in the heavens, while we are just dust upon the earth."

"A star in the heavens, while we are dust upon the earth?"

Luo Cheng murmured the phrase, then coldly retorted, "I don’t think so."

"Oh?"

Yue Hongyi raised a delicate eyebrow, a mocking smile involuntarily tugging at her beautiful face as she gently shook her head.

As rumored, he was full of arrogant boasts—even ignorant ones!

No wonder he dared to challenge Ji Yuanhao, the Divine Son! Truly, ignorance knows no fear!

Hm!

At that moment, Luo Mingshan stepped forward, his dissatisfaction evident:

"Since Cheng has been exiled from the Ji Family, he has nothing to do with the Ji Family anymore! Why come looking for him? Haven’t you humiliated him enough already?"

Seeing her aggressive demeanor, he worried for Luo Cheng.

"Whether relevant or irrelevant—it’s not your decision to make. Even abandoned trash cast off by the Ji Family still belongs to the Ji Family."

Yue Hongyi dismissed him indifferently, her gaze landing back on Luo Cheng as she spoke faintly:

"You’ve awakened the Wasted Martial Soul; yet some claim you’ve cultivated to the Golden Body Realm! Your talent seems more intricate than it appears, which has unsettled some members of the family. That’s why I’m here to see if what they say is true."

What!

How could the Ji Family know he had reached the Golden Body Realm?

In shock, Luo Cheng quickly thought of Sun Yingyang and asked in a deep voice:

"What if it’s true? And what if it’s false?"

Yue Hongyi’s red dress fluttered as she casually replied:

"It seems you don’t understand. To many in the Ji Family, your existence itself is a blemish, the shame of the family. Your continued survival is only because your mother exchanged her own freedom for it."

"Those people will never allow you to appear at Mystic Emperor Peak, much less leave the Yunlan Domain Group or set foot in Central Continent."

"I’ve been sent to verify if your Martial Soul truly is a Wasted Martial Soul. Only if you remain forever unaccomplished, trapped within the Yunlan Domain Group and doomed to stagnate here, will they rest easy."

Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng’s face darkened instantly:

"And if it’s not?"

Yue Hongyi answered flatly: "I believe I’ve made it clear already. Someone who satisfies them can only be one of two things—either a cripple or a corpse."

"Which do you want to be?"

Luo Mingshan exploded with rage, his beard trembling. "The Ji Family is bullying us too much!"

"Grandfather!"

Luo Cheng stopped Luo Mingshan.

He understood that the current situation was beyond his power—opposing the Ji Family now would only lead to his own destruction!

Of course, it wouldn’t be long before this changed!

The humiliation the Ji Family inflicted upon him today would surely be repaid with interest in the future!

He would personally pluck the stars the Ji Family held high in the heavens, and grind them into dust!

Let everyone see who is truly the star above...

...and who is truly the dust below!

Buzz!

Fueled by his inner resolve, Luo Cheng took a deep breath and directly summoned his Martial Soul.

Nine-colored Mysterious Light shone brilliantly as the Nine-colored Mysterious Egg materialized in the void, its soft glow shrouded in divine radiance, shifting between reality and illusion.

"This is my Martial Soul!" Luo Cheng declared.

"Hmm, an unborn Martial Soul with not even a single star!"

Upon seeing Luo Cheng’s Martial Soul, Yue Hongyi paused momentarily.

She had previously doubted the rumors of Luo Cheng awakening a Wasted Martial Soul.

After all, he carried the bloodline of that individual from the Ji Family.

How could his talent be so poor? NovelFire

The sight before her forced her to believe it.

After carefully examining it, Yue Hongyi gave a slight shake of her head. "No wonder the family exiled you."

A Martial Soul with not even a single star.

Such talent is destined to remain trapped within the small confines of the Great Yue Dynasty forever.

Whether he had cultivated to the Golden Body Realm no longer mattered.

With a casual swipe of her finger, Yue Hongyi pulled out a crystal stone about the size of a walnut.

It was an Image Retention Stone, capable of preserving the scenes before her for a period of time.

After a moment, Yue Hongyi stored the Image Retention Stone away.

Luo Cheng fixed his gaze on her and asked, "Who sent you here?"

"Hmm?"

Noticing his intent gaze, Yue Hongyi shook her head:

"Knowing won’t help you. Take my advice, don’t chase after the ephemeral. Live as a minor character—a life of stability and simplicity."

"With your talent, you cannot leave the Yunlan Domain Group. Even if you force your way out, those in the family won’t allow it, and you’d be risking your life in vain."

"For you, this is a dead end!"
