Stellar Transformation-Chapter 503: Episode 15 - 12 The Mysterious Man (Request for Monthly Pass~~)
"The entire Xuanjin Mountain has almost ten thousand people, and if we go by the notion that there are a thousand people per major unit, then this Huang Jing is a commander of Xuanjin Mountain and should belong to the upper echelons of the mountain," Qin Yu thought to himself silently.
Qin Yu did not know that, among the cultivator army on Xuanjin Mountain, the highest position was indeed ’commander.’
And this commander from Wei Chi City had only the strength of a Lower Heavenly God, and simply could not compare with the commander of Xuanjin Mountain.
"Give me the keys," Huang Jing said with a smile, looking at the woman in yellow.
The woman in yellow immediately flipped her hand and took out thirteen keys: "Lord Huang Jing, these are the keys to the thirteen houses in the Northern District." The woman in yellow was extremely respectful.
Huang Jing waved his hand and took the thirteen keys.
"Senior Huang Jing," the Liu Jun Commander said with a beaming smile, "I wonder how many cultivators from Xuanjin Mountain you have brought with you this time, Senior. Will the thirteen rooms in the Northern District be enough?"
Huang Jing smiled gently, "Having a few of them share one room should be barely enough."
"How can this be, squeezing several people into..."
"No more words needed," Huang Jing interrupted the Liu Jun Commander directly, "Go back and tell Uncle Wei Chi that I have arrived, and also convey my message to Uncle Wei Chi that I do not want to be disturbed by anyone while I am in Wei Chi City."
"Yes," said the Liu Jun Commander, respectfully.
Huang Jing nodded, and with a step, he had already vanished from the sight of everyone present.
Inside the sales office’s ground-floor lobby, a group of people were looking at where Huang Jing had disappeared, remaining silent for quite a while.
"This person, even if I were to use the Residual Snow Divine Spear, I probably wouldn’t have the slightest chance of winning," Qin Yu was quite certain in his heart, "Is this person a Middle Level Heavenly God or an Upper Heavenly God to have become a commander on Xuanjin Mountain?"
Hou Fei and Hei Yu, too, remained silent for a long time.
The Liu Jun Commander’s brows slightly furrowed, and then he stopped talking about buying houses and quickly left the sales office.
...
"Xuanjin Mountain." Xing Yuan was still thinking about this term in his heart, "If one day, I could become a cultivator of Xuanjin Mountain!" Xing Yuan’s mind recalled the disdain from that ’Liu Qiyan’, as well as the aura of ’Huang Jing’ just now.
Xing Yuan looked at Zi Yun beside him, and his resolve to cultivate diligently grew stronger.
Xing Yuan and Zi Yun then chose a house in the Southern District of Wei Chi City, which was a bit cheaper, requiring only 1.98 million Low Grade Divine Spirit Stones. After buying the house and collecting the keys, Qin Yu and his group left the place.
******
Jiuhe Building.
Jiuhe Building was also a very famous restaurant in Wei Chi City. Xing Yuan and Zi Yun, having just purchased a house, decided to ’splurge’ a bit at Jiuhe Building. Naturally, Qin Yu and his brothers followed along.
Qin Yu and his two brothers, along with Xing Yuan and Zi Yun’s family, made up seven people, filling one table just right.
"We’ll splurge just this once," said Zi Yun, wrinkling her nose as she fiercely ordered quite a few dishes. The dishes at Jiuhe Building, most of which were incredibly delicious, had cooking methods derived from various cosmic spaces, and their ingredients were also exceptionally unique.
She ordered sixteen dishes in one go, costing over eight hundred Low Grade Divine Spirit Stones.
"Your mother and I, just two people getting married, came here to splurge once. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye so many years have passed, and little Yun you are about to start a household too," Zi Futi said with a smile.
Zi Yun smiled blissfully and also glanced at Xing Yuan.
Xing Yuan was also smiling cheerfully.
"Brother Xing Yuan, I might leave Fu Jue Village after a while, and I won’t be in Wei Chi City either. Today, I’ll have a good drink with you." Qin Yu said with a smile.
"You’re leaving?" Xing Yuan said in surprise.
Hou Fei chuckled and said, "When I have time later, I will still come to see you, hehe... Huh?" Hou Fei was speaking when his gaze suddenly shifted toward the staircase entrance. Qin Yu and the others also looked in the direction of Hou Fei’s gaze toward the entrance of the staircase.
A sound of footsteps arose, and a group of people came up from the staircase, led by Huang Jing.
The sound of footsteps continued, one after another, a total of more than thirty people came up.
"They are all cultivators from Xuanjin Mountain." Qin Yu made a judgment in his heart. Each of these thirty-plus people was a Heavenly God-level expert, and the entire tavern quieted down for quite a while because of the arrival of this group. Even without deliberately showing off their strength, the presence of more than thirty Heavenly Gods had already intimidated most of the people in the tavern.
"Squad leader, you can sit here." Those Heavenly Gods quickly formed five tables, and the youth in white ’Huang Jing’ saw Qin Yu and couldn’t help but brighten his eyes.
"Well, we do have fate," said the youth in white ’Huang Jing,’ smiling at Qin Yu.
The thirty-plus cultivators from Xuanjin Mountain couldn’t help but look at Qin Yu.
"Indeed, we do have fate," Qin Yu nodded slightly.
The youth in white ’Huang Jing’ didn’t say much more and took his seat directly. These five tables of people also ordered some dishes. The arrival of such a group made Xing Yuan, Zi Yun, and others eat with less ease.
"Squad leader, how long are we staying this time? Let’s stay for a shorter period and go back earlier," said a cultivator from Xuanjin Mountain while eating.
"Shorter? I’d like that, but my younger brother probably wouldn’t," said Huang Jing with a light smile.
Huang Jing seemed to be a very quiet youth, with smiles and gestures that were almost feminine. However, the thirty-plus cultivators from Xuanjin Mountain didn’t dare be presumptuous in front of him.
"The young master is too powerful; going there means getting trounced. Squad leader, you keep him company, he’s no match for you anyway," a female cultivator from Xuanjin Mountain said.
Huang Jing shook his head and said, "My brother refuses to spar with me, otherwise why would I bring you people here?"
"But the young master..."
"Alright, I’ll try to shorten the time as much as possible for you bunch," Huang Jing said helplessly, shaking his head.
"Keep it down!"
A cold voice suddenly echoed throughout the entire tavern, and the sound of conversation from everyone inside came to an abrupt halt. Huang Jing and the thirty-plus individuals looked toward the source of the voice.
"Quite a bold one," Hou Fei, Hei Yu, and the others also excitedly looked in the direction of the voice.
The person who had spoken was a grey-clothed man sitting at a table in the corner of the tavern, with stubble on his face and an overall somewhat desolate appearance. Just looking at this grey-clothed man naturally evoked a sense of ’sorrow’ in people’s hearts.
"A master?" Qin Yu couldn’t be certain in his heart.
"Hey, who are you? Is our conversation bothering you?" A burly Xuanjin Mountain cultivator stood up and bellowed.
"Everyone, let’s continue talking, ignore that madman." The burly man sat down, not caring about the grey-clothed man at all.
Suddenly, the thirty-plus cultivators resumed their chat. As cultivators from Xuanjin Mountain, in the Eastern Divine Realm, there were not many people who dared to tell them to be quiet. At least, they had met those few big shots.
Huang Jing, however, frowned and glanced at the man a few times.
"Keep it down!" The grey-clothed man slightly raised his head and spoke coldly, "This is a tavern, not your Xuanjin Mountain; you are guests, and so are the others. Don’t be too excessive."
Over thirty cultivators from Xuanjin Mountain were also enraged.
However, Huang Jing stood up and said, "You know we are from Xuanjin Mountain. Judging by your strength, you are a Middle Level Heavenly God as well, but you are not from Xuanjin Mountain. Then, which of the sixty-four cities do you hail from?"
The man in gray clothes continued to drink his wine, completely ignoring Huang Jing.
Qin Yu had been watching the events unfold.
"Big Brother," Hou Fei’s voice echoed in Qin Yu’s mind, prompting him to look towards Hou Fei, whose face was somewhat pale. He transmitted his voice, "Big Brother, I always feel like that man in gray clothes is watching me."
Qin Yu turned to look at the man in gray clothes, who was still bowing his head to drink.
"He’s not looking at you," Qin Yu frowned.
Hou Fei’s complexion grew even paler, "No, I can feel it, he’s watching me, and he’s also oppressing me with his aura." As he spoke, beads of sweat appeared on Hou Fei’s forehead.
Aura?
Qin Yu hadn’t felt any aura around them at all and looked at Hou Fei in confusion, then back at the man in gray clothes.
Huang Jing stood and watched the man in gray, furrowing his brows. The group of thirty-plus Xuanjin Mountain cultivators quietly awaited Huang Jing’s orders, making the entire restaurant silent.
"Huh, the wine’s not bad," the man in gray said, tilting his head back to finish his drink, before standing up and turning his gaze towards Huang Jing and the group, letting out a sigh and shaking his head.
"Damn it, a Middle Level Heavenly God is so arrogant," the man with the loud voice burst out, charging directly towards the man in gray clothes. Huang Jing didn’t stop him, sensing something odd himself.
Qin Yu and the others hastily retreated to a corner.
"Shishish~~~" Centered around the body of the man with the loud voice, countless beams of golden light shot out, forming a gigantic cocoon that seemed to be made of silken threads and enveloped the man in gray clothes.
Qin Yu and the others couldn’t see what was happening inside the golden cocoon.
"Boom!"
The golden cocoon suddenly shattered, and the loud-voiced man spat out a mouthful of blood, retreating as he flew back. The man in gray still stood there as if he had never moved.
"Girl, do you know? I hate the noise most," the man in gray said, his gaze fixating on Huang Jing.
"Girl?" Qin Yu was also surprised as he looked towards Huang Jing.
Although Huang Jing had a gentle demeanor, his voice was that of a man.
"You..." Huang Jing’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"I came here today for something important. I was in a good mood, but I can’t even drink in peace, so I think... it’s time to punish you," the man in gray said with a slight smile.
A ’buzzing’ sound of vibrating air was heard.
Stillness!
Whether it was Huang Jing, the seriously injured loud-voiced man, or the other Xuanjin Mountain cultivators, all thirty-plus people became completely still, as if they were frozen. The loud-voiced man’s mouth remained open, but no matter what, he couldn’t close it.
The thirty-plus cultivators from Xuanjin Mountain were all in shock.
Huang Jing, a genius from Xuanjin Mountain, whose strength had reached Upper Heavenly God level, was now powerless to fight back against the man in gray clothes.
"Crack, sizzle..."
It was like the sound of glass breaking as cracks began to form around Huang Jing, black cracks in space. Huang Jing’s whole body was covered in dazzling golden light.
The black cracks grew more numerous, and the cracks widened as well.
"Girl, you have some strength and perseverance," the man in gray nodded slightly, "But stop resisting."
As his words fell, all the cracks in space vanished. Huang Jing once again returned to her original still posture. All efforts were futile. Huang Jing’s look towards the man in gray was one of plea.
Clearly, Huang Jing realized she had kicked an iron plate.
"Well, I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll spare you," the man in gray said with a slight smile, and immediately Huang Jing and the other thirty-plus people shuddered violently, regaining their ability to move. However, everyone looked at the man in gray with horror in their eyes.
"This was the junior’s disrespect, I thank Senior for his great kindness. Let’s go!"
Huang Jing’s voice was actually very melodious and gentle, evidently that of a woman’s.
The thirty-plus people didn’t dare to waste words, immediately following Huang Jing and quickly leaving the restaurant. At this moment, besides Qin Yu’s three brothers, everyone else in the restaurant had disappeared. Even Xing Yuan, Zi Yun, and others had fled downstairs.
Qin Yu felt extremely helpless.
"Why did that man in gray clothes stop us?" It’s not that Qin Yu and the others didn’t want to run.
The moment they saw the man in gray make Huang Jing and everyone else freeze, Qin Yu and the others sensed trouble and everyone ran downstairs. Zi Yun and others were able to escape, but Qin Yu’s three brothers couldn’t get downstairs no matter how they tried, as if something was blocking them.
"You three little fellows needn’t be anxious," the man in gray said with a smile, looking at Qin Yu and his brothers, "I’ve come here to find you three."
"May I ask what matter the senior has with us three brothers?" Qin Yu said, bowing.
"You all are from the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World, right?" the man in gray asked with a smile.
"Indeed," Qin Yu responded.
The man in gray nodded slightly, "Do you still remember... in the Inheritance Sacred Land of the Ape Clan in the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World, there was a sentence that said—’Whoever becomes proficient in the Heaven Shattering Stick upon Ascension to the Divine Realm shall be my disciple.’"
Qin Yu and Hou Fei looked at each other, shocked as they gazed at the man in gray clothes.
"Are you... are you the ancestor who left the Inheritance Sacred Land?" Hou Fei stammered.
"Yes, Hou Fei, I am well aware of everything that happened in the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World. You are a descendent of my Ape Clan, and you also have mastered the Heaven Shattering Stick. Naturally, I will keep my promise; from now on, you are my disciple. Prepare yourself, and come with me immediately," the man in gray said indifferently.
Confusion reigned in the hearts of Qin Yu’s three brothers.
Take a disciple? And to follow this man in gray?
"But I already have a Master!" Hou Fei hastily said.
"You have a Master? How come I didn’t know that? Who is your Master?" the man in gray frowned and asked.
"It’s Uncle Lan, oh, Jiang Lan, my Master’s name is Jiang Lan!" Hou Fei quickly responded.
