Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 33: The Assassin Who Tried to Kill Me
Boom!
Wuo Ling cried out in pain, tumbling to the ground in a mess.
"A Daqian person?"
A flash of shock flickered in her eyes, but her hatred and killing intent still surged ferociously.
Xu Yang’s face darkened, and he said coldly, "Beast? Do you even know what you’ve done?"
"You made me fail my breakthrough. Even if I kill you, no one would dare say anything!"
"Can’t you tell if you’ve been violated or not yourself?"
As his reproach landed, Wuo Ling froze for a moment.
She subconsciously reached up and checked herself all over.
Seeing this, Xu Yang sneered, "Your clothes—you ripped them yourself."
Wuo Ling’s cheeks flushed red; she bit her lip, humiliated and furious!
At the same time, pain flared on her neck, and a vague, shameful memory slammed into her.
He knocked me out!
I wasn’t assaulted!
Ruining someone’s breakthrough...
Wuo Ling’s expression changed—sabotaging a breakthrough is no less than killing someone’s whole family!
"S-sorry!"
Just as she apologized, Wuo Ling’s brows furrowed tight. "Who are you? Why would a Daqian person show up here?"
She had zero goodwill toward Daqian people!
All deserved to die!
Xu Yang replied blandly, "Why I’m here isn’t really your concern!"
"But you—you shouldn’t be here!"
The cold words dropped the room’s temperature instantly.
"You..." Wuo Ling gnashed her teeth, glared fiercely at Xu Yang, scrambled up in embarrassment, and turned away to leave.
Watching Wuo Ling go, Xu Yang let out a sigh.
What the hell was all that about?!
Even if it wasn’t his fault, at this moment he couldn’t help cursing Wuo Dong in his mind!
"Time to cultivate."
Xu Yang shook his head slightly, sat cross-legged back on the bed.
Breakthrough failed, so all he could do was keep accumulating—wait for the right opening!
As for that chance, he had a few ideas!
Next morning.
Once Xu Yang stabilized his realm, he started alchemy.
All these pill ingredients were provided directly by the Kunwu Division, and just refining pills was no sweat for him.
Even when tired from alchemy, his spiritual power would grow!
Those Blood Beast Elixirs, he saved a batch for himself to cultivate with—nobody said a thing.
Honestly, coming to the Barbarian Race was the right choice.
Seven days later.
The first batch of resources from Kunwu Division was fully refined and done.
During that time, Wuo Longyue and Wuo Huai had both come by.
When they saw the pills, they were just thrilled beyond belief.
Wuo Huai even tried to get some pointers, but Xu Yang wasn’t about to teach a barbarian.
He just winged it and sent him away.
"My cultivation’s accumulated up to the peak of the Innate Realm."
"Time to find an opportunity to break through."
"Captain Changyuan."
Xu Yang called out toward the yard.
"Mr. Xu, do you need something?" Wuo Changyuan replied very respectfully.
Xu Yang pondered aloud, "These days, I keep hearing your Wudao Army’s pretty tough?"
The last few days, aside from alchemy and cultivation, he’d been digging out all sorts of intel about the various barbarian divisions via Wuo Changyuan.
The Wudao Army was Kunwu Division’s elite corps!
The weakest one’s at Innate Realm!
Squad leaders are True Void Realm!
And battalion commanders, like Wuo Changyuan, reach Yin Realm.
Seriously powerful!
Wuo Changyuan looked proud. "Mr. Xu, Wudao Army’s definitely strong. Most have fought Daqian troops in battle!"
Xu Yang grinned. "I’m preparing for my True Void Realm breakthrough—need someone to spar with."
Wuo Changyuan got it instantly.
He wanted to trigger his breakthrough through combat.
Definitely a legit method for getting past bottlenecks.
The stronger you fight, the stronger you become!
Sixteen years old, and breaking through True Void Realm!
Wuo Changyuan could barely hide how shaken he was inside!
Forget about his pill skills—just in cultivation, Xu Yang was also a genius!
"No problem, I’ll take you." Wuo Changyuan nodded quickly.
This wasn’t any big deal.
"Doggy, let’s go." Xu Yang’s face lit up. He waved to Doggy, then followed Wuo Changyuan out of the yard.
This was the first time he’d left Kunwu Division since arriving here.
Despite being given high status, Xu Yang had zero interest in pleasure or luxury!
The peace right now was hard-earned!
He had to seize every moment, get stronger!
Apart from Kunwu Division’s main camp, Xu Yang saw Doggy itching to roam and got an idea.
"Doggy, you go play by yourself."
These days, Doggy barely got out—not easy for a Treasure Hunting Beast!
End of the day, that kind of beast belonged in the wild.
Seeking treasure was its true calling.
And in the mountains of Barbarian territory, treasures wouldn’t be lacking.
Doggy’s eyes lit up at once.
With a "whoosh!" it shot off, landed on the ground, barked at Xu Yang, then sped away.
Xu Yang wasn’t worried about trouble, either.
Doggy wore a token hung around its neck, marking it as belonging to Stage Four Alchemist Wuo Huai!
Wuo Huai’s name—everybody in Kunwu Division knows it!
Some might dare to mess with Wuo Changyuan’s direct subordinates, but no one would mess with Wuo Huai!
Following along toward the Wudao camp, Wuo Changyuan grinned, "Wudao Army’s only got about half on territory now—around three hundred heads; the rest are at Desolate Fortress."
"Fortress?"
A glint flashed in Xu Yang’s eyes—he asked calmly, "Didn’t the Barbarians and Daqian make peace? Why haven’t they come back? I heard King Beixuan’s family even married into the Barbarians!"
Wuo Changyuan grinned. "Though we have peace, the fortress is border territory—way too important, so no one’s retreating just yet."
"As for marrying in? Hmph!"
He snorted coldly, full of disdain, "King Beixuan’s crimes are unforgivable. His son marries into our Barbarian race—does he think it’s to the princess herself?"
"At best he gets a maid—as a freaking pet, kept like a dog."
A flash of cold gleam shot through Xu Yang’s eyes!
Damn foreigners are still foreigners!
"King Beixuan deserves ten thousand deaths. Shame the war ended." Xu Yang faked a disappointed sigh.
Wuo Changyuan suddenly grew secretive. "Maybe not though!"
"Oh?"
Xu Yang stared hard at Wuo Changyuan.
He chuckled. "Daqian’s strong, but our Barbarians aren’t weak either. Just resources are scarce; peace has upsides and downsides..."
"Least of all, at the fortress, our army’s Second General doesn’t agree with peace!"
Second General?
Xu Yang, curious, asked, "And what’s this Second General’s deal?"
"There are five generals at the fortress, with the First General as chief. Second General’s from the Helan Division—fierce, ruthless; totally against peace, but has to go along anyway!"
"All the twists behind that are for the big shots—I don’t know anything."
"But if that Beixuan kid passes through the fortress, heh, I guarantee—the Second General will make a move on him!"
Wuo Changyuan licked his lips, excitement gleaming, "If the Beixuan prince gets killed, we might get war restarted—break the truce!"
You wish!
Xu Yang secretly sneered.
Kill me, Zheng Xuan wouldn’t even blink!
But these Barbarians—most of them have no clue.
Still, all this probing made sure he pinned down whose dog wanted him dead!
Desolate Fortress Second General!
Those guys? Definitely sent by him!
Once he finds out they didn’t kill me, he’ll be pretty damn pissed!
"I’ll be keeping this grudge!"
Xu Yang made sure to remember this Second General!
Before he knew it, they’d reached the Wudao camp.
It was bustling inside!
Wuo Changyuan was both battalion chief and mainline family—his status was sky-high!
But seeing him bring a Daqian person in, everyone showed shock and suspicion.
Tons of Barbarians stared at Xu Yang, all with enormous hostility!
His status as an Alchemist—only a handful at the very top of Kunwu Division know.
"Eh?"
Xu Yang suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the crowd, eyes showing surprise.
Could she also be part of the Wudao Army?
