Chapter 335 Nie Qing Zhenren
The golden light faded, and the dust settled.
Inside the royal palace of the Nightfall Kingdom.
Ye Kang walked forward indifferently, with the long-silent Nightstorm Guards behind him.
Lieutenant Ma Ling was beaming with excitement, sweating profusely with emotion.
"Lord Ye! My king is just ahead. He has been under house arrest for many years, and now he can finally regain control of the Nightfall Kingdom!"
"Oh."
Ye Kang answered casually, without any reaction.
If it weren't for the system task, he wouldn't bother with this person.
Bang!
Ye Kang kicked open the palace gate. In the huge garden in front of him, a group of monks were fleeing in panic, surrounding a group of people.
"Don't come any closer! If you do, we'll attack!"
A monk raised a wooden stick high, aiming it at the hostage in the middle.
There were quite a few hostages, mostly princes and concubines. One of them was obese, with a full beard, wearing a crown, and looking extremely terrified.
Needless to say, it was none other than King Yelan, who had been imprisoned by the Buddhist disciples for a long time.
"Lord Ye, please wait! We cannot allow them to harm my king!" Ma Ling whispered a reminder.
But Ye Kang didn't care at all and didn't stop at all. The monks panicked even more when they saw this.
As Ye Kang moved forward, these people finally couldn't hold back and attacked Night Storm King.
Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well take the king down with me before I die!
call out!
A pink sword shadow flashed past, severing one person's neck in an instant. Before the others could react, the sword shadow darted left and right, leaving a trail of blood. All the monks fell to the ground, their faces filled with bewilderment.
The Imperial Guards were all stunned by this.
Ye Kang sheathed the Hundred Flowers Sword Qi and walked up to King Ye Lan.
"You are the Nightfall King?"
The burly, bearded man was so terrified he was out of his mind. He could only nod blankly, saying, "Yes...it is me..."
"you're free."
Ye Kang spoke calmly, and the system voice immediately sounded.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Suppress Buddhism]
[Host receives reward: Comprehension]
With everything finished, Ye Kang contentedly checked his remaining comprehension.
After this wave of attacks, my comprehension level has reached 15 again.
He turned to leave, but Night King suddenly called out to him.
"Wait! You saved me, and I promised to allow you access to the Nightfall Kingdom's treasury."
Ye Kang stopped in his tracks, somewhat puzzled: "The national treasury... there's still something there?"
He was somewhat skeptical. After all, how could a Buddhist monk who had seized power leave the national treasury untouched? He should have already emptied it out.
King Yelan coughed and said, "There is one more thing that has always been on me."
After saying that, King Yelan suddenly drew a short dagger from his waist, stabbed it into his own arm, and with a forceful slash, took out a small piece of refined steel from his flesh.
"When I was young, I was in danger while hunting and this bone broke. The royal physician tied this piece of fine steel to it to help the bone grow. This item is a family heirloom and involves a lineage."
He gestured for everyone to leave.
The imperial guards and concubines obeyed the order and left, leaving only two people in the garden.
King Yelan stared into Ye Kang's eyes and continued, "This inheritance is a spiritual fire nurtured by heaven and earth. Judging from the time, it has already been nurtured. However, the place of inheritance is in the outer sea, and I cannot go there."
As he spoke, King Yelan handed over the refined steel.
Ye Kang swept away the bloodstains with his true energy, then picked up the fine steel.
On one side of the stainless steel was engraved a flame and a string of time.
On the other side is engraved a coordinate.
“Bajing Island, Southwest Sixteen Caves”
"I do not know the specific meaning of the coordinates; you will have to find out for yourself. This is the only reward I can give you."
King Yelan sighed, a hint of regret in his eyes.
If it weren't for his weakness, he would have gone to retrieve such a treasure himself.
Ye Kang put away the fine steel, not entirely convinced, and asked, "Who left it to you?"
King Yelan shook his head: "The origin is unknown, but it is certain that it came from the outer sea."
Why give me something so valuable?
"Ye Kang, you saved me. The Ye Lan Kingdom owes you a huge favor. This thing serves another purpose besides repaying your favor."
King Yelan's expression gradually became serious, and he said, word by word, "I beg you, my lord, after returning to the Great Jin Dynasty, please persuade His Majesty not to make things difficult for Yelan."
After saying this, King Yelan knelt down straight and bowed deeply to Ye Kang.
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang understood.
Ye Lan's kingdom has already been usurped by the Buddha's son, and its national strength has been greatly reduced. If the Great Jin takes this opportunity to attack, it will be a disaster that destroys the country.
Ye Kang is the only one who can stop all of this.
"I accept it. The Great Jin will not interfere with Ye Lan. Take care of yourself."
Ye Kang did not hesitate and turned to leave.
King Yelan looked at the black figure with a complicated expression, and finally just let out a long sigh.
……
late at night.
Ye Kang and Chong Xuzi flew side by side.
"Where exactly are you taking me?"
Ye Kang frowned. He originally wanted to go straight back to Da Jin, but Chong Xuzi insisted on taking him somewhere.
Chongxuzi smiled and said, "We've arrived. We're on the mountain ahead."
Ye Kang looked up.
At the summit of the mountain ahead, a graceful figure in a blue Taoist robe stood atop the peak, looking at the two with a cool and aloof expression.
Chongxuzi flew up and respectfully cupped his hands, saying, "Master."
Nie Qing nodded and looked at Ye Kang.
Ye Kang also looked at her, and neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent.
After a while, Chongxuzi sensed something was amiss and quickly said with a smile, "Ye Kang, this is my master, Master Nie Qing of Chongtian Temple."
"Greetings, Senior Nie."
Ye Kang cupped his hands in greeting, while simultaneously preparing the Annihilation Immortal Ring.
Chongxuzi's master is at least a Grandmaster of the Divine Sea Realm in Chongtian Temple. If the other party has malicious intent, there is really nothing that can be done but to annihilate them.
Nie Qing glanced into his eyes and said, "You seem to have some ill intentions towards me."
"Please forgive me, senior! I was indeed a bit wary when we first met, but I had no ill intentions whatsoever."
When you're out and about, you have to know when to back down.
Nie Qing didn't mind and said, "I just chased away an old man, and I happen to have some time to see you."
"Old man?"
“The head monk of the Bodhidharma Hall at Beiluo Temple, Zen Master Xuanxin.”
"Hiss..." Chongxuzi couldn't help but gasp.
Master is too fierce.
Ye Kang quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for helping me out of this predicament, senior!"
"No need to thank me. If you can't beat those two Buddhist disciples, I won't help you."
With a flick of his sleeve, Nie Qing sent two jade slips into Ye Kang's hands.
"Since it's our first meeting, a gift is always appropriate. Each of these two jade slips contains a martial art from the Sky Soaring Sect. You may choose either one."
"What!" Ye Kang was stunned.
Where did this angel investor come from?!
They started by throwing money around; that's way too extravagant!
"Senior, I cannot accept a reward without merit..."
"No need for nonsense. This is how Chongtian Temple always operates. If you have the ability, Chongtian Temple can give you anything."
"What do you mean, senior?"
"A great calamity is approaching, and Chongtian Temple needs a very powerful prodigy. You are now one of them."
