Chapter 1921 - 1912: Jiangshan Movement
Chapter 1921 - 1912: Jiangshan Movement
"So you are the well-known Mo Wangchen of the Divine King Body, it’s an honor to meet you."
"It’s said that Brother Mo is unmatched in brilliance, one of the few Young Heavenly Emperors of our generation. Now that I’ve seen you, you are indeed extraordinary."
Many people stood up, politely cupping their hands toward Mo Wangchen.
In response, Mo Wangchen acknowledged each of them one by one.
"I’ve long heard of Brother Mo’s great reputation, and I didn’t expect to encounter you here today. I toast to you."
At this moment, from a seat not far opposite Mo Wangchen, a purple-clad youth looked over.
As he spoke, an inexplicable and terrifying aura emanated from him, like a mountain, pressing toward Mo Wangchen in an instant.
Mo Wangchen’s eyebrows furrowed suddenly, shocked in his heart.
Because he sensed the power of this aura, the unknown purple-clad youth before him must not be weak, at least he had reached the Unity Realm Stage!
In all Lizhou today, besides Du Feiyang of the Holy Dragon Body, among the younger generation, how many have entered the Unity Realm?
Who is he?
"Buzz..."
In his heart’s confusion, Mo Wangchen reacted quickly.
He quietly activated the Flame Emperor Technique for protection.
Instantly, the temperature of the entire venue rose sharply, and everyone felt a scorching air rushing throughout the place.
With the Flame Emperor Technique’s protection, Mo Wangchen was not affected at all by the oppressive aura coming at him.
He raised his glass in return, simultaneously releasing his own aura to press back against the other.
"Buzz..."
In an instant, the two auras collided, making it seem as if this entire world had darkened for a moment.
The formless aura surged like a raging undercurrent, causing all present to feel a jolt in their hearts.
After a glass of wine, the aura from both parties decreased sharply, collected with tacit understanding, yet as their eyes met, the tension in the venue reached its peak.
Finally, Du Feiyang stepped forward, raising his glass to everyone, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, with the Thousand Realms Tournament approaching, many elders have gathered in our Green Origin Sacred Land. I hope everyone can give me some face and not cause too much of a commotion."
Though his words were directed at everyone, it was clear to all that he was actually speaking to Mo Wangchen and the purple-clad youth.
"Rest assured, Brother Du, I’ve come this time indeed to witness a real grand occasion, not to cause trouble. However, I can’t say the same for others." Mo Wangchen smiled, looking once again at the purple-clad youth.
The youth replied, "Brother Mo jests, please don’t misunderstand. I bear no ill will toward you, just having long admired your name, I couldn’t resist the urge to test you a bit upon meeting. Please forgive my rudeness."
"That’s good." Du Feiyang nodded.
As the Saint Heir of Green Origin, he did not wish for any trouble during these days, lest the whole Green Origin Sacred Land lose face.
"Hehe, let me play a tune to lighten the mood."
At this moment, a young woman beside the purple-clad youth smiled, then began to play the zither with her fingers.
This was the piece "Jiangshan Movement," renowned throughout Lizhou and often heard being played in taverns and brothels.
The piece conveyed a high realm, calming the listener’s mind like still water.
Yet, it also contained a uniquely solemn undercurrent, stirring up emotions and ambition after the calm.
"This lady is named Ye Tianhuan, the little princess of the Ye family in Cloud Realm, famed for her music. It’s said that all the cultivation techniques she practices are related to music, wielding the zither like a sword and wounding enemies with her tunes, making her defenses unpredictable." Ruan Xinyu, sitting beside Mo Wangchen, said.
After speaking, her gaze shifted to the purple-clad youth next to Ye Tianhuan and continued, "The person beside her is her brother, Ye Tiange, the current Young Master of the Ye family, carrying the Heavenly Emperor Bloodline, possessing unparalleled talent, and his cultivation is no less than that of the Holy Dragon Body!"
"The Ye family siblings..."
Mo Wangchen couldn’t help but narrow his eyes upon hearing this.
If his guess was correct, Ye Tiange probably already knew about his origin and identity.
Otherwise, the other party wouldn’t have released his aura earlier to test him.
What had happened to the Ye family in past years?
The Master sent him to the Heavenly Domain, perhaps not only for training but also because of the Ye family, right?
"They say Miss Ye’s musical prowess is unmatched, an absolute in our generation. Now that I’ve heard it, she is indeed extraordinary."
As the piece concluded, everyone returned to their senses from the realm of the music, praising continuously.
"You’ve all exaggerated." Ye Tianhuan humbly said, then suddenly looked at Mo Wangchen with her beautiful eyes, "Mr. Mo, how do you find my piece?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Wangchen frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said frankly, "I heard that in past years, the Ye family also had a remarkable woman excelling in music, named ’Lan Ruoxin,’ who was the wife of Divine King Ye Chitian. From what I know, the composer of ’Jiangshan Movement’ was her, wasn’t it?"
As soon as these words came out, not just Ye Tianhuan, but even Ye Tiange and everyone present couldn’t help but furrow their brows.
Apparently, Divine King Ye Chitian was a taboo in the Ye family, something that people avoided discussing, let alone having someone like Mo Wangchen mention it in front of the Ye family siblings today.
For a moment, the once-relaxed atmosphere tensed up again.
After a brief silence, Ye Tianhuan smiled and said, "Mr. Mo is right, this piece was indeed composed by our family’s former Divine Mother."
"It seems Brother Mo is quite familiar with my Ye family’s past." Ye Tiange suddenly spoke.
Mo Wangchen replied indifferently, "I’ve only heard bits and pieces, not much, but if possible, I would be very interested to hear the full story. I just wonder if Brother Ye can enlighten me."
"If you wish to know, why not visit my Ye family personally? I will naturally tell you then." Ye Tiange’s face gradually became somewhat displeased.
"I have thought of visiting the Ye family, given that I’ve been entrusted by someone. However, the time is not right yet." Mo Wangchen met his gaze and spoke seriously.
"Is the one who entrusted you faring well now?" Ye Tiange inquired.
"It’s hard to say good or bad, but life is quite leisurely." Mo Wangchen answered.
The two exchanged words as if discussing something seriously.
Yet, to those listening around them, it seemed rather baffling.
Clearly, they did not understand the exchange between Mo Wangchen and Ye Tiange.
But the only thing that was apparent was that Mo Wangchen seemed to have some inexplicable connection with the Ye family!
"Brother Du, I’m feeling a bit tired. Let’s call it a day and gather again when the tournament begins tomorrow." Mo Wangchen stood up and bid farewell to Du Feiyang.
Du Feiyang did not try to keep him but stood up to see him off, "I’ve already arranged a place for Brother Mo to rest; let me take you there."
After speaking, he turned to everyone, cupped his hands, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please excuse me for a moment."
