Chapter 951 Night Maiden Meijue, Two People Traveling Together
Ye Kang's eyes narrowed, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts, unsure whether to cry or laugh.
The Emperor's order came very suddenly.
On the one hand, this is a golden opportunity for me.
Since he was going to Wuzhou anyway, and the ancient clan heritage left by Emperor Wu was in Wuzhou, and the most likely hiding place of Yin Sheng Demon Lord was also Wuzhou, he had a reason to go to Wuzhou to find out the truth.
Now that we have the Emperor's decree, we can go to Wuzhou without any problem, and we can even raise the banner of the Wu Dynasty, which will make things much easier.
However, this order also disrupted Ye Kang's other plans.
The first priority is to investigate the person behind Luoyan Prefecture. The Incense Cave will open in three months, meaning I must return within three months, or I will completely lose the initiative.
At the same time, Ye Kang originally planned to first find the fifth Qi, enter the Yin Extinction Realm, and raise his strength to the level of the number one person below the Dao Integration Realm before venturing into the Misty Continent.
It seems that we can only give up for now.
He was somewhat helpless, wondering what the Holy Emperor was thinking. Why did he have to go himself to escort the Night Maiden home?
He thought carefully about his relationship with the Night Maiden and with Wuzhou, and it seemed that the only connection he could make was the grotto-heaven spiritual treasure that the Holy Emperor had once bestowed upon him.
That magical treasure contained the combined methods of the Holy Emperor and the Sophora Emperor. Once I refined it, I would immediately become their puppet.
Could it really be because of this?
Ye Kang was neither sure nor concerned. Instead, he bowed to Luo Qilin and said, "Your subordinate has received the order. However, we have only just cleared out the demons on land. I hope the general will pay close attention."
Lokilin nodded solemnly: "Of course. With me here, no demons will be allowed to set foot on land again."
"Then I'll be on my way now."
"This is the Holy Emperor's way of cultivating you. If you can complete it successfully, you will surely gain the Holy Emperor's trust and your future will be limitless. Just do your job well, and you may have a great opportunity in the future."
Lochlin spoke earnestly.
Ye Kang naturally understood that he meant the Holy Land of Harmony with the Dao.
In fact, there are many people in the Returning to Truth Realm in Kyushu, and quite a few at the peak of Returning to Truth Realm, but they are unable to advance to the Dao Integration Realm.
Half of it comes from natural talent, and the other half comes from the lack of a sacred place that aligns with the Dao.
Without a sacred place, one cannot attain enlightenment.
Lokilin believed that if he performed well in this mission, he might gain the favor of the Holy Emperor and be granted a Holy Land of Dao Integration.
This is the opportunity to ascend to heaven.
Ye Kang nodded naturally, his eyes filled with hope, but deep down he held no hope whatsoever.
Even if someone who can tamper with spiritual treasures and try to control me were to actually give me a sacred place, I wouldn't use it.
Ye Kang said no more and turned back to the Demon Suppression Division.
After giving instructions to his two lieutenants, Ye Kang changed into a low-key dark robe and flew into the air, heading towards Xianglin County.
Xianglin County is located further west of Lingquan County and has already fallen under the jurisdiction of Wuyin City. Fortunately, Ye Kang is already a master of the Returning to Truth Realm and no longer needs to abide by the rules of flight.
He piloted the flying boat at full speed, and in less than half a day, he arrived at the county seat of Xianglin County.
The Night Maiden had not yet arrived, and Ye Kang was not in a hurry. He first paid his respects to the prefect and general of Xianglin County.
Upon learning that it was a mission personally issued by the Holy Emperor, the prefect and the general naturally did not neglect it and immediately provided Ye Kang with the best house to stay in.
The next day, a martial artist came to deliver the message: "Lord Ye, Consort Ye has arrived!"
Ye Kang awoke from his meditation and flew away.
Above the city, streaks of energy rushed in from afar, transforming into five-colored rays of light. In the very center of the light, a golden sedan chair was prominently displayed.
Consort Ye sat upright in the sedan chair, surrounded by twenty soldiers.
These soldiers were all at the Nirvana Realm level, and their leader exuded the aura of the Yin Extinction Realm, walking in the air with an imposing presence.
Ye Kang looked around and found that the prefect and general of Xianglin County were not present. Obviously, they didn't want to get involved in the fun and pretended not to know anything.
Soon, the sedan chair flew to Ye Kang's front, and the soldier leader was the first to arrive in front of Ye Kang.
"I am the commander of the Wudu Guard. Are you General Ye Kang?"
"Your discerning eye is indeed correct; it is indeed I, Ye."
Upon hearing this, the commander's expression was initially indifferent, but then he gave a nonchalant smile and said, "We were responsible for protecting Consort Ye until now. From now on, we will hand her over to General Ye. This is the handover document. General Ye, please sign it."
The commander handed over a jade slip, which Ye Kang took. After confirming that there were no problems, he left a wisp of his aura, which was equivalent to signing the document.
"Very good. I wish General Ye all the best. Let's call it a day!"
Without saying a word, the commander immediately led his men away without even a moment's rest.
Ye Kang looked puzzled. "You're leaving, so why did you take the sedan chair with you?"
Sure enough, the luxurious sedan chair had already been taken away by them, and the Night Maiden, dressed in a black robe and wearing a hood, floated quietly opposite Ye Kang.
The two looked at each other, and Ye Kang immediately frowned.
This guy has improved a lot since the Great Dharma Assembly. He has already reached the peak of Nirvana and is just one step away from returning to the true form.
It's important to understand that not everyone has the same opportunities as Ye Kang. Ye Nu's cultivation speed is already an extremely extraordinary and monstrous talent.
Therefore, when the Night Maiden saw Ye Kang's cultivation level, she was so shocked that her eyes widened, her mouth opened, and her face was full of astonishment.
Returning to one's true self!
What terrifying talent this guy has!
The Night Maiden couldn't discern Ye Kang's exact cultivation level; she could only tell that he had entered the Returning to Truth Realm, but that was enough to shock her.
At this moment, only the two of them remained in the sky, without even a maidservant to serve them.
Ye Kang said, "Your Highness, it's been a long time."
The Night Maiden then snapped out of her shock and whispered, "I am no longer the Night Consort. Just call me Mei Jue."
Night-Sleeve Jade?
Ye Kang muttered to himself for a moment, then asked, "Do you need to rest?"
"No need, let's just go. The road ahead is not easy."
"That's fine, but I still have many questions. Could you please answer them?"
"I guessed so. You probably didn't expect it to turn out like this, did you? Let's talk about it on the way. It's perfect timing. I'm also curious why it was you."
The two understood each other without saying a word and flew away.
Xianglin County was a border county, and the two of them moved quickly. Half a day later, they had completely left the territory of Xianglin County. Half a day later, they arrived at a wasteland.
This is the Fire Plains, where the temperature is extremely high. It is also a dangerous and uninhabited place, just like the Black Desert. Beyond the Fire Plains lies the sea. Crossing the sea will lead you to the Fog Continent.
Throughout the journey, Ye Meijue did not bring up any topics, and Ye Kang did not ask any questions either. The two remained silent and focused on their journey.
Upon arriving at the Fire Plains, a figure was waiting for the two of them ahead.
"Young Ye, it's been a long time."
