The Azure Cloud Mountain Range is lush and green, and even in late autumn, the climate here feels like spring, presenting a beautiful scene. However, hidden beneath this beauty lies a lurking danger that sends chills down one's spine. The Azure Cloud Mountain Range has undergone changes due to tectonic shifts, causing the High-Level Beasts that once resided underground to surge to the surface, resulting in rampant magical beasts that even the Great Qin Government cannot suppress.
The Hidden Dragon Hall stands deep within the Azure Cloud Mountain Range. The Dragon Armored Warriors have been hunting various high-level ferocious magical beasts, and it is due to the presence of the Hidden Dragon Hall that most of the magical beasts remain deep within the Azure Cloud Mountain Range and do not dare to act recklessly; otherwise, the surrounding states along the mountain range would suffer greatly.
In the depths of the mountains, a man and two women walk slowly.
“Brother, are we really going to walk back to Linzi City like this?” Yan Yao asked with a smile, holding her Sharp Sword.
Ye Yang, dressed in a tattered beast skin robe from a previous fierce battle that exposed his Fire God Armor underneath, was surprised to find that this Fire God Armor, which had been damaged by Peng Cheng, had somehow repaired itself. Indeed, the Twelve Divine Artifacts are all sentient.
Patting his bulging stomach, Ye Yang said with a smile, “Let’s not rush to fly just yet; I’m too full and need some time to digest. We can fly to Linzi in the afternoon; reaching Linzi City before sunset should be no problem.”
“Okay,” Yan Yao nodded with a smile.
Ye Yang rummaged through his Cosmic Bag and said to Yun Xiaoxi, who was walking with her sword drawn, “Xiaoxi, we’ve also obtained the Earth God Shield of Fire Plow. Now we already have four of the Twelve Divine Artifacts in our possession: the Fire God Armor, Wind God Lyre, Water God Shield, and Earth God Shield. I guess we’re quite valuable now, right?”
Yun Xiaoxi chuckled and replied playfully, “You think you’re valuable? Do you know how many unknown secrets are hidden within the Twelve Divine Artifacts? Right now, various factions in the martial world are searching for them; almost everyone dreams of collecting all Twelve Divine Artifacts to uncover ancient mysteries.”
Ye Yang took out the Earth God Shield and examined it closely. “This thing is tough; however, if I use my Azure Soul Sword with full force, I might be able to shatter it. Could it really hide some monumental secret?”
“Definitely!”
Yun Xiaoxi nodded seriously and explained, “My master once said that all Twelve Divine Artifacts are relics of deities. The power of those ancient gods far surpasses what today’s Celestial Ascendants can compare to. Moreover, these twelve artifacts are actually twelve keys; once collected completely, they can unlock certain mysterious shackles. As for what exactly they unlock, even my master doesn’t know.”
Ye Yang smiled and said, “It’s a pity that our Fire God Clan's Fire God Helmet fell into the hands of Asura Hall. Right now, I don’t have the ability to retrieve it from Asura Hall.”
Yun Xiaoxi chuckled lightly, "Don't worry, Xuan Lian is definitely searching for these twelve relics as well. That's why she took the Fire God Helmet, and she also managed to seize the Earth God Shield along with the Fire Plow. Even someone like Xuan Lian, who has ascended to godhood, is doing everything possible to obtain the Twelve Divine Artifacts. One can imagine the significance of these twelve treasures."
Ye Yang took a deep breath and said, "It's been a long time since I returned to the Fire God Clan; I miss it a bit. Shall we start flying?"
"Mm!"
With that, they took off simultaneously. Ye Yang was the fastest, darting through the sky like lightning. Yun Xiaoxi followed closely behind, while Yan Yao, having the lowest cultivation level, flew the slowest. Therefore, Ye Yang and Yun Xiaoxi had to slightly slow down to wait for her; otherwise, leaving Yan Yao alone in the Azure Cloud Mountain Range would mean she wouldn't find her way back.
...
Before sunset, the evening sun turned into a blush that fell upon the tranquil city.
Linzi City stood in the plains; this solid and prosperous city was not only the capital of Qi State but also Ye Yang's base. Linzi was the center of culture and trade, with more than half of Qi State's tax revenue coming from Linzi County. Even the Fire God Clan and Azure Thunder Merchant Association had relocated here; this place had essentially become Ye Yang's foundation.
"Thud!"
Ye Yang landed steadily on the roof of the Fire God Clan's main hall. Looking down, he saw that after its reconstruction, the Fire God Clan was even more magnificent and spectacular. Pavilions connected seamlessly, and between them flowed rugged mountains and rivers, with white birds soaring across the sky. The main hall of the Fire God Clan was situated at the foot of a green mountain, nestled by water, exuding tranquility and beauty.
Two maidservants held cups and trays with a simple dinner: a serving of vegetables and a portion of venison, along with a jug of old wine and some rice.
One maidservant frowned slightly and said, "The master's health is deteriorating; he eats less and less each day. I really don't know what to do."
"Yes, he insists on going to the forge every day to check personally; it's truly exhausting for him. However, aside from Beichu in our family, it seems no one else can forge high-level weapons anymore. So Beichu must continue to work hard..." replied another maidservant.
Ye Yang's expression changed slightly. "Is Second Uncle ill?"
As he spoke, Ye Yang gracefully descended and stood in front of the two maidservants, saying, "Hey, you two, stop."
"Ah?"
The two maidservants were stunned. After taking a closer look at Ye Yang, they suddenly exclaimed with joy, "Young Master Ziyu... is it really you? You've finally returned to Linzi City!"
Ye Yang smiled and said, "Yes, I'm back. Is this the meal for Second Uncle?"
"Yes."
"Give it to me. I'll take it to Second Uncle. You two can go rest for now."
"Yes, Young Master Ziyu!"
...
After receiving the tray from the two maidservants, Ye Yang held it effortlessly as Yun Xiaoxi and Yan Yao landed behind him.
Walking toward the main hall, he pushed open the large door and saw several lanterns hanging inside. At the table, Ye Beichi was quietly coughing while flipping through bamboo slips on the table. Those contained details about the Fire God Clan's operations and connections; only Ye Beichi could manage everything single-handedly.
"Creak..."
The sound of the door opening startled Ye Beichi. At the same time, Ye Shuang, who was beside him, looked up and suddenly gazed at Ye Yang with disbelief in his eyes. "Brother... Brother! You really came back?"
Ye Yang chuckled and strode forward, placing the meal on the table. He knelt on one knee and smiled at Ye Beichi, saying, "Second Uncle, how have you been these days?"
Ye Beichi has aged considerably, yet he still shows a smile: “Zi Yu, you finally returned. You must be very tired from your travels, right?”
Ye Yang shakes his head lightly and laughs: “Not at all, but Second Uncle, you…”
As he speaks, a glint of light appears in Ye Yang's eyes as he says: “Second Uncle, your health…”
Ye Beichi chuckles lightly: “Just some old ailments…”
“Old ailments?”
Ye Yang furrows his brows, channeling his True Qi into his eyes. He places one hand on Ye Beichi's shoulder and ponders for a moment before taking a deep breath.
Ye Shuang anxiously asks: “Brother, what exactly is wrong with Father? He has been like this for two months…”
Ye Yang replies calmly: “Second Uncle, this is not an old ailment; he has been poisoned.”
“What? Poisoned?” Ye Shuang exclaims in shock.
