Chapter 512: Divine Martial's Troubles
"Young master, the spiritual energy here is too thin."
Fang Qintian, the Sea Suppressing Dragon General, lifted his hand, catching a snowflake, and exclaimed in shock.
At this moment, they had already arrived at the foot of Changbai Mountain, with endless snowflakes falling and a majestic scenery unfolding.
"Yes, this is my homeland."
"The place that haunts my soul."
"The place I protect."
Ye Tian gently raised a hand, letting the snowflakes slip through his fingers, gazing at the sky dome with starry eyes sparkling.
"It smells so nice, brother, I'm hungry!!"
Xiaozi, nestled in Ye Tian's arms, wiggled around, her neck wrapped in a thick scarf but dressed in an ancient long dress, beautifully picturesque.
She sniffed the air, searching for something.
"You little glutton." Ye Tian fondly pinched Xiaozi's nose, glanced at a vendor's stall nearby, and smiled, "Isn't that jianbing guozi? It's been a long time since I had it, I'll go buy some."
With that, he took Xiaozi's hand and walked to the jianbing guozi stall.
"Boss, in this cold weather, a few jianbing guozi please."
"Freshly made."
The stall owner was a middle-aged uncle, his face full of the hardships of life, with rough calloused hands, evidently a common man from the lower class.
"Give me a bag of jianbing guozi."
Ye Tian smiled slightly, handing over one hundred yuan.
"Sure thing, young man, your girlfriend is really beautiful, much prettier than those movie stars."
The boss nodded in agreement, praising Xiaozi, having business in such weather was like a godsend.
"Uncle, what's a girlfriend?"
Xiaozi tilted her head, asking the stall owner.
"Girlfriend??" The boss, busy with the hot jianbing guozi, packed them into a bag and said, "It means your lover, haha."
"Ah, really??"
Xiaozi, like a startled fawn, buried herself in Ye Tian's embrace, her face blushing red, not daring to look at people.
"Yes, you two, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, are clearly a match made in heaven."
"Getting married isn't unusual at all."
The boss handed the bag of jianbing guozi to Ye Tian, his eyes rolling as if encouraging the young man to work harder.
"Twenty yuan, let me give you change."
The boss, beaming with joy, looking at the red note, placed it carefully into his pocket, then took out a stack of crumpled bills, counting them meticulously.
"One fifty, three ten yuan bills....."
"This ten yuan bill is too new, want to exchange it??"
"Why am I fussing over this? I've picked up some bad habits from the kid."
"Today's first sale, a good omen....."
The jianbing guozi stall owner muttered to himself, his face filled with a smile. Just twenty yuan made him so happy.
However, Ye Tian and the other two had already walked away.
"Young man, you haven't got your change yet?"
The boss looked up, seeing the three of them leaving straight away, his smile faded, become anxious, and put down his spatula, ready to chase after them.
Sometimes, ordinary people are the most genuine.
"No need for change, thank you for the jianbing guozi, uncle."
"It's delicious."
Ye Tian waved the jianbing guozi in his hand, an invisible force stopping the boss from running over.
The boss, living in Changbai Mountain for years, naturally knew some mystical powers. The young man before him might be one of them.
Gazing at the hundred yuan bill in his hand, the boss watched their backs, smiling, and deeply bowed.
......
At Divine Martial Mountain, all the elders gathered, seemingly discussing something.
"Elder Jian, where has the Pavilion Master gone?"
"The relic in the Pacific Ocean involves many forces, we're getting overwhelmed."
Pharaoh's eyes revealed anxiety, looking at Elder Jian, as did the other elders.
"Sigh, how would I know where the Pavilion Master has gone?"
"Hey, Elder Xue and Elder You have arrived!!"
Elder Jian's face was also full of bitterness, dejected. In just half a month, the Huaxia Martial Arts World was in chaos, all sorts of formidable entities had appeared.
As soon as Elder Jian's words fell, all elders looked towards the door, King You and Elder Xue walked in side by side, their expressions solemn.
"Elder You, Elder Xue."
All the Heaven Pavilion Elders stood up, cupping their fists and bowing in respect.
In recent days, Elder Xue's strength had been acknowledged by all the elders present, defeating them in just three moves, only King You could match that strength.
Now with him and King You managing the Divine Martial Pavilion together, nothing major had happened. Otherwise, relying on just a few of them, the situation would have already turned upside down.
"Mhm."
King You and Elder Xue sat on either side below the main seat, nodding and surveying the surroundings.
"Everyone, the Pacific relic is expected to emerge in about ten days."
"Huaxia wants us to send people over, but the local martial cultivation forces are showing up one after another, the situation is chaotic."
"What are your thoughts?"
King You spoke solemnly, particularly looking at Elder Xue, mainly seeking his opinion.
"King You, in my opinion, we should take decisive action to intimidate those forces."
"Otherwise, where is the dignity of our Divine Martial Pavilion!!"
In recent days, Elder Xue had fully integrated here, living in harmony with everyone. He didn't understand why, maybe due to fear of that white-clothed youth.
Suddenly, the council hall was filled with dense blood energy, Elder Xue stood up abruptly, endless blood slaughter wrapped around him, an ethereal and sharp aura rampant in the void.
All elders present looked stupefied, gazing at Elder Xue with awe, a hint of envy in their eyes.
They originally thought they were invincible besides the Pavilion Master, but King You and Elder Xue shattered their confidence deeply.
They realized there are always people stronger, heavens beyond heavens.
"Elder Xue, this... this is too impulsive."
"Although demonstrating power is good, if those forces band together, the dignity of our Divine Martial Pavilion will inevitably collapse."
"We cannot take the risk."
King You's eyes flickered with wisdom, then shook his head with a bitter smile.
This approach seemed good, but with the recent increasing strength of those forces, even King You and Elder Xue might not withstand all the forces attacking the Divine Martial Pavilion together, the risk was too high.
"Sigh, this won't work, that won't work, then what should we do??"
"Are we going to let the Divine Martial Pavilion be an ornament?? Letting them run rampant??"
Elder Xue blew his beard and stared, sitting down helplessly, his expression anxious.
"If the Pavilion Master were here, we wouldn't have to worry about anything."
Elder Jian slammed his chair, almost scaring people.
"Elder Jian, suddenly acting up, do you want to scare someone to death?"
Pharaoh stared at Elder Jian, expressing dissatisfaction, muttering: "That's true, if the Pavilion Master were here, what's there to worry about?"
King You and Elder Xue exchanged a glance, shrugging. Clearly, they felt the same.
"Hahaha, the Pavilion Master is back."
"Speak of the devil, Elder You, the Pavilion Master is at the foot of the mountain, let's go meet him."
Elder Jian slapped his thigh, making a loud noise, his face flushing red, breathing excitedly.
"What!! Great, let's go."
King You rushed to Elder Jian, pulling him as they flew away.
(I need to sort out the characters, it's too messy, and some hidden lines were forgotten, I need to review, that's all for today.)
