Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 539: Lan Ying Is Captured

"I heard you previously engraved a Tier One Divine Rune Array Map and defeated Yuwen Jian?"

Song Weixian looked at Wang Ruoxie and asked.

"Yes."

Wang Ruoxie nodded and replied.

"So what level of Divine Rune Array Map can you engrave now?"

Song Weixian’s eyes flashed with a strange color, then he spoke again.

"Engraving a standard Tier Three Divine Rune Array Map shouldn’t be a problem."

Wang Ruoxie chuckled lightly and answered.

If it weren’t for the past three years of comprehending the Sword Soul and Law, as well as fully enhancing his cultivation, he might even be able to engrave Tier Four Divine Runes.

"If that’s truly the case, then you can be considered a Tier Three Divine Rune Master now."

Song Weixian said with a smile in his eyes: "In that case, you can come with me to see the master now."

"Alright."

Wang Ruoxie nodded.

Then, the two of them walked towards the depths of the Saint Institute.

After walking for about half an hour, under the guidance of Song Weixian, Wang Ruoxie arrived in front of a majestic palace.

"This is the residence of the master. Once you become the master’s direct disciple, if you have any questions, you can come to seek guidance from the master at any time."

Song Weixian smiled at Wang Ruoxie and said.

Wang Ruoxie also nodded slightly at these words. Although he was nominally a disciple of Master Qin Hao, he had never met Master Qin Hao once in the past three years, nor received any guidance from him.

It can be said that his master-disciple relationship with the other party was merely in name only.

However, just the Path of Divine Patterns taught by Song Weixian on behalf of the master had benefited him greatly.

So he was somewhat looking forward to seeing how much more he could improve in the Path of Divine Patterns after receiving direct guidance from Master Qin Hao.

Immediately, Song Weixian and Wang Ruoxie walked into the palace together.

Before long, Wang Ruoxie met Master Qin Hao, with whom he had a master-disciple title.

Contrary to what he expected, Master Qin Hao appeared to be a young man and was quite handsome.

Of course, he also understood that for those in the Divine Human Realm, age was almost meaningless. There were beings who had lived for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years and still maintained a youthful appearance.

"Greetings, Master."

Song Weixian and Wang Ruoxie both bowed to Master Qin Hao.

"No need for formalities."

Master Qin Hao said with a gentle smile.

He then turned his gaze to Wang Ruoxie and said, "So you are Wang Ruoxie. I heard from Weixian that your talent in Divine Runes is quite impressive. I wonder what level you’ve reached now."

"Not long ago, I was able to engrave a Tier Three Divine Rune Array Map, reaching the level of a Tier Three Divine Rune Master."

Wang Ruoxie replied directly.

"Oh? Then engrave the simplest Tier Three Divine Rune Array Map for me to see."

Master Qin Hao’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise, and he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ruoxie did not hesitate. He raised his palm, turned his fingers into a sword, and quickly engraved lines of Tier Three Divine Runes in the void.

These Divine Runes shone with brilliant light, and the divine essence flowed within them. They connected seamlessly, weaving together perfectly to form an extremely profound Divine Pattern.

"Not bad at all. Although it’s just the most basic Tier Three Divine Rune Array Map, you were able to engrave it in such a short time without any mistake, which shows that your mastery of Tier Three Divine Runes has reached a level of ease."

Master Qin Hao nodded with satisfaction and said, "If you continue to comprehend diligently, you may have a great chance to advance to a Tier Four Divine Rune Master."

"Now, I will impart to you some knowledge about the Path of Divine Patterns as well as the experience and techniques for engraving various Divine Runes. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me directly."

Subsequently, Master Qin Hao began to impart extensive knowledge of the Path of Divine Patterns and experience and techniques for engraving Divine Runes to Wang Ruoxie.

It took ten full days before Master Qin Hao finally ceased his teaching.

Wang Ruoxie went from quietly listening at the beginning to constantly asking questions later, and eventually even discussing with Master Qin Hao.

These ten days were extremely important for him.

All his previous incomprehensions about the Path of Divine Patterns were almost entirely resolved, and he even gained many new insights into those Divine Rune Array Maps above Tier Three.

Wang Ruoxie believed that it wouldn’t be long before he could engrave Tier Four Divine Runes, or even Tier Four Divine Rune Array Maps, and advance to a true Tier Four Divine Rune Master.

"Thank you, Master, for your guidance."

Wang Ruoxie bowed deeply to Master Qin Hao and said.

"Since you call me Master, I should impart the Path of Divine Patterns to you without reservation."

Master Qin Hao smiled and said, "However, I’ve already taught you everything I can. The path ahead must be walked by yourself. I hope your future accomplishments will not disappoint me."

"I will not disappoint Master."

Wang Ruoxie smiled slightly and said.

Though he knew his master had advanced to a Tier Five Divine Rune Master not long ago, he believed he would eventually catch up to his master, or even surpass him entirely.

"Go ahead."

Master Qin Hao nodded with comfort and said with a smile.

After bidding farewell to Master Qin Hao, Wang Ruoxie left the palace and headed towards his residence.

"Junior Brother Ruoxie, I’ve finally found you."

On the way, Wang Ruoxie unexpectedly encountered Ding Junlong, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.

"Brother Ding, why are you in such a hurry?"

Wang Ruoxie asked when he saw the anxious look on Ding Junlong’s face.

Since they came from the Profound Lady Sect to the Divine Martial Saint Institute together, they shared a closer bond than ordinary students. If something really happened, he would certainly help with all his efforts.

"Are you familiar with Lan Ying?"

Ding Junlong inquired.

"Yes, we are friends."

Wang Ruoxie nodded, and his eyes narrowed slightly, suspecting that something might have happened to Lan Ying.

Previously, he had publicly defeated Yuwen Jian to completely intimidate him so that he wouldn’t dare provoke Lan Ying again.

At least, in his view, Yuwen Jian wouldn’t dare to act rashly for a while.

Moreover, before embarking on his secluded cultivation, he had informed Lan Ying that if anything happened, she could come directly to him.

"Two days ago, outside the Saint Institute, Lan Ying was captured by people sent by the Lan Family."

Ding Junlong spoke again.

"Why did she leave the Saint Institute?"

Wang Ruoxie’s brows furrowed upon hearing this. He had told Lan Ying not to leave the Saint Institute easily to prevent any accidents.

As long as Lan Ying stayed within the Saint Institute, neither the Yuwen Family nor the Lan Family could do anything to her.

He never expected Lan Ying to leave the Saint Institute for some reason.

"A few months ago, I met her by chance. Upon hearing that I was once your fellow disciple, she also became friends with me. Two days ago, while we were discussing the Dao, a woman named Lan Lu found her, claiming to have news about her father."

Ding Junlong continued, "Who would have thought that after luring her out of the Saint Institute, numerous strong individuals appeared suddenly and took her away."
