“He owed you what?” Zhang Huaide furrowed his brows, “Without Captain Yan, you wouldn’t have obtained this Fire Escape Technique.”
Zhou Hongyu was about to explain, but then saw Qin Meng and the others all staring at him, which suddenly made him feel a bit embarrassed and awkwardly changed the topic:
“It’s nothing. Don’t get too caught up in personal emotions. We’re all cultivators from Lu Country, and helping each other is what we should do.”
His words sounded righteous, and naturally, nobody could find fault with them. Only Zhou Hongyu knew in his heart that since helping each other was expected, then interacting with one another was also perfectly normal, right?
Speaking of which, I haven’t been to Jinling Prefecture yet.
————————
As soon as Yan Yu got the flute magic treasure for Ruoxi, he immediately left the Kunlun Mountains, not pausing for a moment as he flew towards the east using Sword Control.

This flute in his previous life belonged to Zhang Huaide, named “Bihai Tide-Generating Flute.” As the name implies, the sound of the flute playing was like the waves hitting the shore, and the sound waves could form tidal forces which were useful in pushing, blocking, and trapping enemies. As long as the playing was continuous and the True Yuan did not stop, the tidal force would continue to take effect.
Compared to the Xuan Guang Ruler in Ye Jun’s hands, the strengths and weaknesses of the Bihai Tide-Generating Flute were very clear.
The disadvantage was that it required continuous playing and input of True Yuan; once interrupted, the tidal force would disappear, so if Ruoxi needed to use the Thunder Method, she couldn’t continue using the magic treasure, which was far inferior to the Xuan Guang Ruler that could just maintain defense buffs without attention.
The advantage was that as long as there was enough True Yuan, it could be used not only for defense but even for controlling attacks… though it might require a bit of ability to capture the battle situation and seize opportunities, after all, if one only knew to crudely smash the tidal force onto the opponent’s head, its lethal power was far less than that of the Thunder Method.
Knowing Ruoxi, Yan Yu reckoned this could be challenging.
But he didn’t expect her to unleash 100% of this treasure’s power anyway. As long as she could protect herself, he would be fully satisfied!
It seemed like a day and a night had passed in the Illusion Realm, though time hadn’t really moved much. By the time Yan Yu returned to Jinling Prefecture, he even managed to arrive right at dinner time.
“Here, take it.” He pushed the flute towards Xie Ruoxi, “Use this for self-defense.”
“Wow! Captain, you’re so nice!” Xie Ruoxi feigned surprise and hugged Yan Yu briefly before quickly letting go under the intense gazes of others and began to examine the flute, “What does it do? Can I play it?”
“Inject True Yuan and then play,” Yan Yu instructed, “Don’t activate it here. Go to the basement after refining and attuning it to get familiar with it.”
“What about mine?” Zhao Yuanzhen opened her hands.
“You don’t have one,” Yan Yu said, “You don’t need one for self-defense!”
“Hmph.” Lin Ning immediately came over to back her up, “Zhao sis, let’s ignore him. The captain has always been biased.”
“Being a captain and yet so biased, can’t even keep a balance, the evil consequences will eventually backlash onto you!” Zhao Yuanzhen coldly snickered.
Yan Yu frowned and looked at Lin Ning, thinking, How is your water-carrying theory spreading like a virus?
This is a battle team! The strength of a team is like a bucket; it holds water depending on its shortest stave. As a captain, isn’t it normal for me to specifically strengthen the weak links?
And talking about consequences backlashing… laughable, I could flatten you all with a slap. How do you plan on backlashing? Complain to the central government?
Yan Yu completely ignored their nagging and just served himself a bowl of rice, beginning to devour it vigorously.
Having experienced an intensely cold Illusion Realm and then fought Zhou Hongyu for three hundred rounds in a small room, he now needed to replenish some energy too.
Let the powerless losers keep barking!
Lin Ning and Zhao Yuanzhen were not very happy, whereas Xie Ruoxi seemed much happier, even feeling a sense of pride and achievement as if she “left her sisters behind” — a sensation she had never experienced in all these years.
After dinner, she dragged Yan Yu to the underground training facility, wanting to use the pretext of “the captain helping me understand how to use this magic treasure” to continue scoring points with him.
Then Yan Yu received a call and had to leave abruptly, leaving Xie Ruoxi extremely disappointed.
Yan Yu arrived at the headmaster’s office, seeing Chen Tianming and Li Weiguo with grave expressions, just like the eve of the battle of the Three Isles Treasure Ship Secret Realm.
“What happened?” He casually grabbed a chair and sat down. “Where’s the battle brewing? Southern Border or Western Border?”
“No battle yet, but it’s close,” Li Weiguo tossed another document to him.
Yan Yu caught the document and saw, as expected, it was related to the movements in the Western Border.
Ishana had already defeated Tianzhu’s largest Ascetic sect this morning, successfully integrating this force under his command, which essentially meant he had achieved most of the Ascetic forces’ consolidation.
Ascetics in Tianzhu have a tradition called “relying on nothing external,” simply meaning all hardships are endured alone. Not strong enough? Endure hardship! Low status? Endure hardship! As long as one elevates their cultivation level, whatever they want in the future will come to them, there’s no need to fight to the death with other Transcendents in advance.
This self-reliant and introspective mindset of the Ascetics meant they remained in a state of seclusion and seldom raided neighbors for resources… provided they could maintain this fragmented state.
Ishana’s emergence broke this status quo. According to current intelligence, this particular Transcendent obviously has a dictatorial and violent style and will certainly not allow the Tianzhu Ascetics to continue their seclusion. Integrating them in a real sense would necessitate sizable benefits to distribute among them, thus they must hunt externally, cutting flesh and spilling blood…
