Immortal Path to Heaven Chapter 391 - New Insight

Chapter 391 New Insight

Bai s.h.i.+xue smiled. The moment she did, she gave off a wonderful yet indescribable charm that moved everyone, so much so that even Ni Yinghong was distracted for a second. Ni Yinghong’s face changed, and she became alert. ‘Why is this young pavilion master from the Yi Pavilion so strange?’

“Your Highness, I’ve tried my best to hurry on with our journey but it was not adequate to arrive at the city in the shortest time possible. Please punish me accordingly.”

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows and looked at the convoy in the distance. It was in such perfect order that it could not be faulted at all.

The sharp-eyed Wu Hanning glanced at everyone else and asked, “General Wu, did something happen throughout the journey?”

“Your Highness, we were attacked by the beast herd thrice throughout our journey, which caused the delay.” Wu Haohan strode forward and bowed at the princess. He added after a moment of hesitation, “Miss Bai was a great commander. Without her, not only would we be late, but would also suffer quite a huge loss.”

The other people were shocked, especially the Supreme Great Ancestors from the prefecture. They looked at the powerhouses in the convoy with respect.

Everyone could tell that there was a small conflict between Her Royal Highness and Bai s.h.i.+xue. The princess had probably questioned the young pavilion master to denounce her in public, but Wu Haohan, who was also from the imperial family, contradicted the princess. The other people did not know if he was an extremely frank person or if he did not know how to appreciate favors.

Nonetheless, being a disciple from the imperial family, Wu Haohan knew Her Royal Highness’ character better than anyone else. She would never a.s.sociate public affairs with private matters, vice versa. Since the princess had asked, Wu Haohan knew he had to answer her honestly in the fairest way. If he included personal business or tried to figure out Her Highness’s hidden meanings by speaking nonsense, he would be the unlucky one in the end.

Wu Hanning nodded and remarked, “I see. Miss Bai, you’ve worked hard.”

“Thank you for the praise, Your Highness.” Bai s.h.i.+xue was calm despite the honor. She turned around to look at Ou Yangming, then she asked with a sweet smile. “Brother Ou, I didn’t let you down. I brought them here, so how are you going to thank me?”

‘Vixen!’ Ni Yinghong cursed to herself and tightened her grip on Ou Yangming’s hand once more.

‘It’s a misunderstanding,’ Ou Yangming thought, but he could not explain himself at the moment. He laughed and replied to Bai s.h.i.+xue, “Thanks, Young Pavilion Master!”

“Gentlemen, I gained new insights into smithing art after I meditated and cultivated today.” Ou Yangming immediately changed the topic when he sensed the strange looks around him and the odd atmosphere. He looked around and asked cheerfully, “I’d like to modify your magic tools. Who would like to go

first?”

He Xinfang was already informed about the matter in advance, so he was well-prepared. He shouted right away, “Master Ou, I’m willing to try first!”

It was not that Woo Lejia and the others did not trust Ou Yangming, but they were skeptical about having their magic tools reformed.

Those were magic tools, after all, which were likely once-in-a-lifetime treasures for them. Moreover, the treasures could be inherited by their respective clans. They cherished their magic tools very much, so how could they let someone alter them? Nevertheless, they came to sudden realizations after hearing He Xinfang agree to the request without any hesitation.

It was true that the smithing of magic tools was unreachable for the other people, but it was a piece of cake for Ou Yangming.

The young fellow had smithed the over 20 magic tools by himself in his carriage. The fact that he could form so many magic tools proved how capable he was.

Even if Ou Yangming ruined the powerhouses’ magic tools, he could totally smith new ones for them.

If that was the case, why should they worry?

With that, the other people agreed to let Master Ou revamp their magic tools too.

Ou Yangming knew what they were thinking because he noticed their worries right after he made the request. He grinned and changed the topic. “Over 70 Supreme Great Ancestors have arrived at Changlong County’s prefecture. It’s a huge event for the county, so let me introduce them to everyone.”

Li Xinfan and the others agreed with it. Honestly, they had been waiting for this moment.

When the convoy stopped, more than 70 newly-advanced Supreme Great Ancestors came out of their carriages. Although their auras were still slightly unstable, it was clear from their overbearing momentums that they were great ancestors. Besides, given that they carried violent auras, it showed that they had broken through to Extreme Grade during fights; they were not impostors who were lucky enough to gain treasures to “break through”. General Li and the powerhouses from the prefecture beamed when they saw the great ancestors.

With 100 great ancestors keeping watch over the prefecture, Changlong County would be formidable like never before.

If they still could not stop the beast time, the Humans deserved to be eliminated.

When Ou Yangming repeated what he said just now, the Supreme Great Ancestors without magic tools were thrilled. In actuality, they were already envious when the young fellow smithed magic tools for He Xinfang and the others in his carriage.

They did not have the right to speak then and knew they could not compete with Chen Yixian and the others, thus they chose to keep quiet.

Since Ou Yangming had just brought up the matter himself, they were not going to pretend to be polite.

Ou Yangming was moved when he saw the eager look on their faces. He was struck with a marvelous thought. Even though it was a whimsical idea and would likely offend some people, he could not suppress the thought as though countless weeds were growing upwards.

“I have something extremely important to say,” he announced in a deep voice and with bright eyes, “It’s related to whether your weapons’ greatest powers can be unleashed.”

Woo Lejia and the others were stunned, and they quickly focused on him. Not to mention Supreme Great Ancestors who were about to receive magic tools, even the Yang Grade powerhouses, who would not be given any, p.r.i.c.ked up their ears, afraid that they would miss a thing Ou Yangming stated seriously, “When I cultivated in isolation and apprehended some unique skills in smithing art, I smithed an equipment set for Big Yellow.”

“What? Big Yellow!” Deng Xiyuan exclaimed. The other Supreme Great Ancestors who knew how fearsome the big yellow dog was were taken aback too.

On the other hand, Bai s.h.i.+xue and the powerhouses that just arrived were bewildered. ‘Who’s Big Yellow?’

Li Xinfan asked, “Master Ou, you smithed an equipment set for… Big Yellow?”

“Yes.” Ou Yangming nodded.

“Master Ou, is that a magic equipment set?” Li Xinfan forced a smile. “That’s right.”

The others gasped and had weird looks on their faces. Other than the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors, who were delighted, everyone else smiled bitterly because they felt that it was such a pity.

They could imagine from Big Yellow’s size how many materials needed to be consumed for its equipment set. It was worth noting that those materials could have been used to smith more magic tools.

The powerhouses would have cursed right away if someone else was being so wasteful, but they only sighed because it was Ou Yangming who did it. They dared not reprimand him at all.

Bai s.h.i.+xue asked with a smile, “Brother Ou, I’m sure the equipment set is unordinary. Aren’t you going to show it to us?”

Ou Yangming secretly praised the young pavilion master, ‘This lady has an exquisite mind indeed. She knew what I wanted to say.’

“Young Pavilion Master you’re right. Since you’d like to see my masterpiece, I won’t stint on presenting it.”

Woo Lejia and the others reacted strangely and smiled faintly at Bai s.h.i.+xue and the rest of the people in the convoy, which was truly puzzling. If the newly-arrived Supreme Great Ancestors were not certain that they would not be harmed, they would have acted irrationally long ago. Ou Yangming turned around and whistled. His voice spread far until it reached a certain place in the city. The big yellow dog, who was laying in the courtyard and enjoying caresses from Old Craftsman, opened its eyes at once. It no longer looked lazy and had a fierce look in its eyes.

Old Craftsman was struck dumb. “Is that fella calling for you?’

Big Yellow nodded. Its body had grown so ma.s.sive that it was frightening, but it still respected certain special people.

The old man waved his hand and said, “Quickly go, don’t delay the matter.”

Big Yellow barked and pushed off with its legs, causing a strong wind to blow in the air. It instantly left the courtyard and charged toward the gate without bothering about the looks from the other people along the way.

Many people shrieked upon seeing the big yellow dog, but they did not affect it at all.

There was a disturbance as soon as the giant yellow figure came out of the gate.

Almost every new Supreme Great Ancestor pulled out their weapons and got into battle-ready stances.

They gathered together and stared at the majestic yet terrifying giant beast with fear. The giant beast was not a spirit beast, but they figured that it was at the peak of a half-spirit beast.

As for Woo Lejia and the others, they had seen the big yellow dog once, but they were still afraid of it when it showed up again.

Any incredibly powerful being-even if they were harmless-would unknowingly inflict psychological pressures on others.

Ou Yangming approached the big yellow dog with a smile and patted its foreleg. The yellow dog then lowered its head to let him stroke it.

“Allow me to introduce you to my best partner – Big Yellow.”
