Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1103 First to Act

Ye Qing stared at the other person in disbelief.

The man in white sized up Ye Qing and said, "Don't worry, I'm not one of the Nine Emperors. Or rather, I still have some grudges to settle with these so-called Nine Emperors! So, we're not enemies!"

"Then how did you come to know me?" Ye Qing asked.

"Heh!" the white-robed man said calmly, "Your name has been spreading like wildfire among civilizations throughout the universe all this time. Hasn't this Deep Green Star System received the Heavenly Court's order to hunt you down?"

Mo Xi's expression shifted, and he looked at Ye Qing, saying, "Feng Jie's visit this time may have had another mission: to issue a kill order against you, but he died at your hands!"

"These days, aside from the ability to replicate, your unique characteristics—you, Lin Qianyu, Yun Jin—are known far and wide among civilizations throughout the universe!" the white-robed man said. "So, it's not surprising that I know you!"

Ye Qing's expression shifted.

Indeed, he had been in seclusion for more than a month. Including his previous visit to the Deep Green Star System, more than a month had passed since he left the Spirit Realm. In that time, the Heavenly Court's kill order would have spread far and wide throughout all advanced civilizations, and even further down the line.

Of course, for Ye Qing now, even if the kill order is issued to a civilization below level six, it won't cause him too much trouble.

"Does Senior have a grudge against the Nine Emperors?" Ye Qing asked.

In fact, by this point, Ye Qing had already come to believe it to some extent.

Since the man recognized him and showed no intention of attacking him, it meant that what he said was most likely true.

After all, if he really wanted to kill him, it would be a simple matter.

"A grudge? It's a huge one!" the man said with a smile.

Just as he was talking, a series of footsteps suddenly came from the other side.

Before long, another woman, dressed in white with her hair tied up, walked over from a distance.

She carried a long spear on her back, looking heroic and valiant. When she walked over, Ye Qing's eyes narrowed slightly.

The woman noticed Ye Qing at that moment, her pupils suddenly contracted, and a fierce fighting spirit erupted in her eyes as she said, "Ye Qing!"

Ye Qing's expression shifted, and he looked at the woman.

If he couldn't see through the white-robed man in front of him, he could sense this woman. She possessed the aura of a mid-stage Domain Lord, and that aura was even more profound than that of Kaisen.

A sense of danger arose spontaneously.

She walked up to the man in white, cupped her hands in greeting, and said, "Master, the inheritance has been obtained!"

The man in white smiled and nodded, then looked at Ye Qing and said, "Little guy, let me introduce you. This is my disciple, Ling Yinxue!"

Ling Yinxue looked at Ye Qing and said, "I know you. You really shone in this Genius Battle. It's said that you have combat power that surpasses unique characteristics among those of the same level. I wonder if that's true. How about I control my strength at the peak of the Immortal Realm and fight you?"

"Are you unique?" Ye Qing asked.

Ling Yinxue was about to speak!

The man in white smiled and said, "Yin Xue, time is limited, we must hurry and leave this place. In this vast universe, since we have met here, it must be fate! We will meet again in the future, and you will have the opportunity to fight!"

At this point, the man in white looked at Ye Qing and said, "Little fellow, you came here for the Great Emperor's inheritance, right? You don't need to search anymore. The Great Emperor's inheritance here has already been taken by my disciple. Everything has a cause and effect. The fact that the Great Emperor's inheritance was taken here will likely have some kind of karmic connection. I also advise you to leave this place as soon as possible! This place does indeed contain the Seven Secrets of the Universe, but these things are not something you can get your hands on now!"

At this point, the man in white said, "Judging from your appearance, you have a good state of mind. If you survive, you may achieve great things, but the prerequisite is that you must survive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his right hand slightly, and in an instant, he and the woman vanished from the spot.

Mo Xi stared blankly at the two of them and asked, "Who are they?"

Ye Qing shook his head and said, "I don't know."

At the same time, his brows were deeply furrowed.

It seems that, apart from the chaotic star sea and the starry sky, there are other hidden forces in this universe.

"From what they're saying, the Great Emperor's inheritance has been obtained by that woman." Mo Xi said with a rather unpleasant expression, "I didn't expect that they would beat me to it."

"They've come specifically for the Emperor's legacy," Ye Qing said. "It seems even the Heavenly Court is unaware of this place's existence, or perhaps it's quite troublesome for anyone from the Heavenly Court to even get here. How did they find out about it?"

Upon closer reflection, this place is indeed strange; only those with combat power above the level of a domain lord can come here.

Ye Qing estimated that there were only two reasons why this situation arose in this place after the battle back then, and why the Great Emperor's legacy has been preserved to this day.

Either the Heavenly Court is unaware of the existence of this place.

Either the people of Heaven are unable to enter this place.

What is the background of this master and apprentice pair?

The woman didn't look very old; in fact, Ye Qing had a hunch that even if she was older than him, she couldn't be much older.

But she is already in the mid-stage of the Domain Lord realm, and judging from the reaction, it seems... that she might have a unique characteristic?

If that's the case, it means that our generation has already produced a fifth unique individual.

There are only thirty-six unique characteristics in the entire universe. Apart from the nine emperors who possess nine of them, there are only twenty-seven left. In this generation, it is possible that five of them have already appeared.

"Shall we continue watching?" Mo Xi asked, looking at Ye Qing who was deep in thought.

“Since the Great Emperor’s legacy has already been taken away, there’s no point in us staying here any longer. Moreover, if the disappearance of the Great Emperor’s legacy is truly sensed by the power of cause and effect, it will cause a lot of trouble. So I’m afraid I have to hurry up and leave!” Ye Qing said.

“Okay!” Mo Xi nodded.

"Let's go back to the capital!" Ye Qing said.

……

Half an hour later, at the aircraft docking station in the imperial city!

In front of an aircraft, Mo Xi, Wang Lu, and Yu Xin were standing there!

Ye Qing and Mu Ling'er were standing on the platform of the aircraft.

"From now on, study hard with your master and remember to listen to your mother. If I come next time and find you disobedient, I'll hit you!" Ye Qing said to Yu Xin.

"I will be good!" Yu Xin said in her childish voice.

Ye Qing smiled slightly, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Mo Xi and Wang Lu and said, "May our friendship endure forever, and may we meet again someday!"

"goodbye!"

Before long, the spacecraft slowly rose into the air and then disappeared into the endless starry sky.
