Armipotent - Chapter 2144: Yan Xueyi

Chapter 2144: Yan Xueyi

Yan Xueyi was born with unique eyes. She could see something that ordinary people could not see: the energy. Whether it was energy in the air or inside people’s bodies. Through this ability, she could determine the cultivation level of other people.

The higher the cultivation, the more energy they had. That was the fundamental knowledge, but sometimes she would encounter someone with irregular energy capacity that didn’t fit their cultivation level. She met them several times during her journey with her master.

Her Senior Brother was one of those irregularities, having more energy than people from the same cultivation rank. Senior Brother Han Lingxiao had similar energy to the ordinary 2nd-Stage True God Realm, even though he was just at the 9th-Stage God Realm.

It would still be hard for her Senior Brother to win against the 2nd-Stage True God Realm. However, her senior brother could fight for a long time against the 2nd-Stage True God Realm. Additionally, her Senior Brother actually defeated more than ten people who were at the 1st-stage True God Realm.

That achievement made her Senior Brother arrogant. Master Lei tried to reprimand him several times, but it was to no avail.

Another irregularity was the person who killed her Master. They called that person an outsider, and that outsider had more internal energy than her master, who was titled as the Spear God.

She managed to warn her master in that fight. That was the reason why the Spear God, the Fire God, and the Fist God ganged up on the outsider. She played a role in that match-up, yet even when it was three against one, the outsider managed to kill her Master.

Her master’s death was devastating to her. He was not just a master, but also a father figure to her. Her Senior Brother seemed devastated as well, but he coped better than she did. At least, she thought so.

She and Senior Brother Han Lingxiao stayed in the funeral home, just the two of them. No one paid a visit, which was understandable considering the situation.

It wasn’t until her Senior Brother’s friends visited the funeral home. She didn’t like her Senior Brother’s friends. In her opinion, they were the reason why her Senior Brother became arrogant. They led her Senior Brother astray.

For that reason, she left the funeral home to follow her Senior Brothers. She just lost her master, and she didn’t want to lose her Senior Brother. She was afraid that her Senior Brother’s arrogance would cause a conflict with someone more powerful than him.

Yan Xueyi was angry when she found out where her Senior Brother’s friend brought him to. It was a brothel that somehow still stood after the big battle.

She was relieved that the brothel refused to open, thinking her Senior Brother would give up going to the brothel. However, his friends acted on behalf of her Senior Brother, flaunting her Senior Brother’s status as the Spear God’s disciple, trying to forcefully open the brothel.

That was when the conflict arose, as the brothel didn’t budge even with her brother’s status. She thought it would end with the brothel being suppressed by her Senior Brother because no one looked that strong compared to her Senior Brother.

It wasn’t until the owner of the brothel appeared. She saw through the owner’s energy mass, and her face lost all its color as she immediately looked away.

Yan Xueyi only looked at it briefly, but that made her nauseous and dizzy. The sheer mass of that energy was something she never encountered. Even her Master could not be compared to that man, not even Alliance Leader, who was the strongest one, still had less internal energy.

That was not the only thing that made her like this. The color of the internal energy was also different. The normal color energy would be blue, which was the energy she saw in the air as well. There was this faint flow of energy in the air, and she could see that.

A cultivator’s energy color was usually attuned to their cultivation technique, but blue was the basic. Her Master’s internal energy was crimson, the same as her Senior Brother. The Fist God and the Alliance Leader’s internal energy were gold in color. The Fire God’s internal energy was red-gold in color.

But this brothel’s owner, whose name she didn’t know, was pitch black with the faint shade of red. When she looked at it, it was like looking at an abyss, a void. That was not the terrifying part; the terrifying part was the feeling that energy gave off.

The moment she looked into that owner’s internal energy, it felt alive. It looked like something was looking back at her that gave her fright.

She had various kinds of experiences, and she was used to looking at her Master’s internal energy. However, this was the first one that gave her a fright with just a single glance.

Yan Xueyi felt like the internal energy was alive and responded to her gaze. That was what terrified her, the feeling that an internal energy was like a living being. She also didn’t know why she got dizzy and nauseous after looking at that mass of energy.

She braced herself to look at the brothel’s owner once more, and that terrifying feeling intensified. However, she managed to hold down instead of looking away this time. She already knew what awaited her, so she didn’t look away. Instead, she tried to observe this internal energy.

This was when she confirmed that the owner of the Lotus Moon Pavilion had more internal energy than his master and the Alliance Leader. She didn’t know whether this brother’s owner was stronger than the Alliance Leader or not. She was unsure at first until the Alliance Leader backed down when confronted by the brothel’s owner.

She guessed that might be because the owner was strong, which made the Alliance Leader wary. When such a thought appeared in her mind, an idea popped into her mind.

It was the idea to take revenge on her Master against the outsider. That was when the gear in her head started moving and decided to approach the Lotus Moon Pavilion’s owner. She snuck into the brothel while the Alliance Leader was confronting the owner.

*** ***

To the present, Yan Xueyi finally met the owner and was brought to the highest floor after telling them her identity. From the conversation between the owners and the people around him, he didn’t know that Spear God had more than one disciple. That was why he confirmed it first with the people around him.

This was when Yan Xueyi realized that the owner of this brothel was not just any hidden expert. He was followed by a lot of strong people.

The most terrifying part was the fact that six people were on par with the Alliance Leader in terms of internal energy. She was talking about the Alliance Leader, the person who stood at the peak of the Sacred Realm. Six people in this room rivaled the Alliance Leader’s internal energy.

That was not the end, two more people had more internal energy than Uncle Zhong besides the owner. It was the two women who stayed close to the owner. Not only were they powerful, but they were also extremely beautiful.

This was when she realized that she might find a hidden organization that her Master talked about. Her Master always reminded her Senior Brother that there were a lot more people who were stronger than him, aside from the Alliance Leader, the handful of famed cultivators.

Her master was talking about the hidden experts who didn’t show themselves to the world. Yan Xueyi felt like she met one of those hidden experts that her Master talked about. The scarier part was that her Senior Brother almost blew up a conflict against this hidden organization.

“So, you want me to avenge your Master in exchange for your Master’s spear technique?” Tang Shaoyang tried to reaffirm the little girl’s proposal.

Yan Xueyi thought about what she could give to this hidden expert to make him move. Unfortunately, she had nothing worthwhile for the hidden expert aside from her life and his Master’s technique.

“Yes!” She pointed at her own head, “I have everything memorized in my head. I can make a copy of them for you if you avenge my master’s death.”

She was nervous and didn’t dare to look at the owner for too long. That energy was too terrifying. She tried to look at the others, making sure that she was not being rude. That was when she found a familiar face.

Her eyes widened in surprise, and she blurted out, “Palace Mistress Ruohan!?”

Yan Xueyi recognized the Ice Palace’s Palace Mistress because she met Bing Ruohan less than two years ago. Her Master once brought her to the Ice Palace. Her Master wanted to leave her in the care of Ice Palace, but she refused and decided to stay with her Master.

“Hello, Little Yan~” Bing Ruohan smiled and waved her hand at Yan Xueyi.
