Chapter 417 - 417 417 Fan Shaoyuns Confusion

Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Fan Shaoyun’s Confusion Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Fan Shaoyun’s Confusion At the Azure Cloud Hall square, the Great Elder supported the severely injured Hall Master of Azure Cloud Hall, casting a wary look at Liu Qingyang who was descending from above.

Liu Qingyang’s terrifying strength had exceeded everyone’s expectations.

“Hall Master of Azure Cloud Hall, you are now powerless to continue fighting. It seems you have lost, so you can release the man, right?” Liu Qingyang asked indifferently.

The Hall Master of Azure Cloud Hall had a pale face, extremely weak, and said with difficulty, “Release… release him.”

“Thank you, Hall Master of Azure Cloud Hall.” Liu Qingyang said, slightly bowing with a fist.

It wasn’t long before a disciple came out with the white-haired elder who had been injured; the elder was indeed the Mayor of Greenstone Town.

Although the Mayor had been beaten, his life was not in danger.

“Mayor!” Shuisheng hurried over.

“Shuisheng! How did you get here?” The Mayor’s face changed dramatically, and he asked in a panic.

“Mayor, Brother Tian Yi and I came to rescue the Mayor!” Shuisheng said, smiling joyfully, relieved to see that the Mayor was unharmed.

Upon hearing this, the Mayor glanced at Liu Qingyang and said in surprise, “So your name is Tian Yi. After being unconscious for a month, you have finally woken up.”

“Mayor, Brother Tian Yi is amazing, the Hall Master of Azure Cloud Hall was no match for him!” Shuisheng said excitedly, while helping the Mayor.

“What?” Hearing this, the Mayor’s expression changed drastically, looking at Liu Qingyang in extreme shock.

Although the cultivation level of the Mayor of Greenstone Town was not high, he also possessed the strength of the Yuan Dan Realm Third Layer, and he knew all too well how frightening the strength of the Hall Master of Azure Cloud Hall was.

Liu Qingyang was so young, yet possessed the terrifying strength to defeat the Hall Master of Azure Cloud Hall. How could the Mayor not be shocked?

At first, the Mayor did not believe it, but when he saw the severe injuries of the Hall Master of Azure Cloud Hall, he had no choice but to believe it.

“Thank you, young brother Tian Yi.” The Mayor quickly expressed his gratitude.

If it weren’t for Liu Qingyang’s intervention today, he feared that he, the Mayor, would have certainly died, and Greenstone Town might have faced destruction.

“There’s no need for formalities, Mayor.” Liu Qingyang said with a polite smile.

Liu Qingyang had stepped forward, in part, to repay Greenstone Town for its care of him.

If Old Qin hadn’t rescued him, Liu Qingyang might very well have perished in the Qing River.

“Mayor, let’s go, back to Greenstone Town!” Shuisheng said excitedly, helping the Mayor as they headed toward the mountain gate of Azure Cloud Hall.

As Liu Qingyang and the other two left the Azure Cloud Hall, no one from the hall dared to stop them.

Atop a nearby mountain, a man watched Liu Qingyang and muttered, “Isn’t he the youngster who was with Feng Wuchen? Shouldn’t he have entered Duanhun Valley with Feng Wuchen and the others? Why is he here at Azure Cloud Hall? Could it be that Feng Wuchen and the others have already left Duanhun Valley?”

“Impossible. There are many powerful guards at the three exits of Duanhun Valley. Feng Wuchen and his group couldn’t possibly leave without our people knowing!” The man frowned.

“Perhaps Feng Wuchen has some miraculous movement technique, who knows. I must go back and report to the Sect Hierarch immediately!” The man thought to himself and immediately vanished from the spot.

“Hall Master, we can’t just let that kid off!” a senior disciple said through gritted teeth, extremely unwilling to let it go.

“Absolutely not, we cannot let him go!” the Great Commander said darkly. “This kid doesn’t take our Azure Cloud Hall seriously at all!”

“We absolutely can’t let him go!” The disciples responded one after another.

“This young man has profound cultivation and great strength; the Hall Master couldn’t even handle him, what can you do to him?” a venerable elder said, shaking his head.

“`

“He hasn’t even used his full strength yet!” the Second Elder added.

Hearing the words of the two elders, the faces of the disciples once again showed terror.

To think that Liu Qingyang hadn’t even used his full strength in the battle with the Hall Master of Azure Cloud Hall? How terrifying was that?

“Hall Master, Great Elder, we can’t let this go! The Spirit Vein in Greenstone Town is extremely important to us, we rely on it to strengthen Azure Cloud Hall!” the Great Commander urged anxiously.

“Spirit Vein!” The Hall Master of Azure Cloud Hall’s pale face looked extremely ugly.

How could the Hall Master of Azure Cloud Hall not want to kill Liu Qingyang, annihilate Greenstone Town, and then monopolize the Spirit Vein?

But Liu Qingyang’s strength was truly terrifying; even he was no match for him. Who else in Azure Cloud Hall could contend with Liu Qingyang?

If Azure Cloud Hall were to take action again, it would likely not be as simple as just a few deaths—perhaps the entire Azure Cloud Hall would face destruction.

The Hall Master of Azure Cloud Hall did not speak; instead, he turned and headed back to the great hall, his face looking ugly and complex, his thoughts unknown.

The Great Elder waved his hand, signaling for the disciples to disperse.

With the Hall Master of Azure Cloud Hall not taking a stance, no one knew if he would actually let this matter rest.

Liu Qingyang and Shuisheng saved the town chief, and the citizens of Greenstone Town erupted in cheers.

Only Shuisheng had witnessed with his own eyes Liu Qingyang’s battle with the Hall Master of Azure Cloud Hall. Upon his return, he talked about Liu Qingyang as if he were a deity, greatly exaggerating, and everyone listened with thrill as if they had been there themselves.

Liu Qingyang had lost most of his memory, hence he could only stay in Greenstone Town, with nowhere else to go.

…

In the grand palace of the Heavenly Moon Sect, Ao Yan hurriedly flew back.

“Young Sect Hierarch! There’s news!” Ao Yan entered the great hall and excitedly reported.

“Is it about Feng Wuchen?” Fan Shaoyun slowly opened his eyes from his cultivation and asked.

Ao Yan respectfully said, “Young Sect Hierarch, we haven’t seen Feng Wuchen yet, but when I was returning, I saw someone, someone from Feng Wuchen’s side. Logically, he should have followed Feng Wuchen into Duanhun Valley, but he was not there, so, I speculate that Feng Wuchen and the others must have already left Duanhun Valley.”

“Oh? Who is it? Where did you see him?” Fan Shaoyun quickly asked.

“I don’t know who he is, but I am certain he’s a friend of Feng Wuchen’s. I saw him at the Azure Cloud Hall, where he defeated the Hall Master with the cultivation of the Sixth Layer of the Tianyuan Realm. It’s very likely that Feng Wuchen and the others are around Azure Cloud Hall,” Ao Yan reported respectfully.

“Azure Cloud Hall?” Fan Shaoyun furrowed his brows deeply, pondered for a moment, then shook his head, “No, even if Feng Wuchen and his group have left Duanhun Valley, they have no reason to go to the central region of the Heavenly Domain, and moreover, alone. Could it be him?”

“Who does the Young Sect Hierarch think it could be?” Ao Yan asked.

“The very lad I killed, named Qingyang, but there’s no reason he should still be alive,” Fan Shaoyun shook his head. He was very clear about his own strength and did not believe that Liu Qingyang could have survived such a terrifying power.

“Who the Young Sect Hierarch has killed, I indeed do not know,” Ao Yan shook his head and then added, “However, they referred to him as Tian Yi.”

“Tian Yi?” Fan Shaoyun frowned again and ordered, “Ao Yan, go and investigate at once, but be very careful not to startle the snake in the grass.”

“Yes! I’ll make a trip to the Azure Cloud Hall at once!” Ao Yan nodded respectfully.

Fan Shaoyun paced back and forth in the great hall, his expression grave, muttering in doubt, “It cannot possibly be him, but Azure Cloud Hall is near where that lad died, who else could it be besides him? Tian Yi is not Qingyang.”

Fan Shaoyun was unwilling to believe that Ao Yan’s report referred to Liu Qingyang.

“I am certain that my palm strike should have killed him, causing him to fall into the Heavenly River, impossible to have survived, absolutely impossible,” Fan Shaoyun kept reassuring himself.
