Serving as a Jinyiwei, starting from plundering the swordsmanship talent

Chapter 245 Potential exhausted, inner demons arise

"Alright! Alright!"

Si Nan and Shi Sheng are both somewhat at odds with fate.

Ye Liuyun was already used to it.

He waved his hand, interrupting the fight between Si Nan and Shi Sheng.

"Go and do your work. Keep an eye out for any other happenings in the capital."

Ye Liuyun didn't take Wei Hongfang's matter too seriously, leaving it to others to handle.

Just pay attention.

Just don't let some random people suddenly appear out of nowhere and cause trouble.

"Yes, my lord!"

Hearing Ye Liuyun say this.

Si Nan and Shi Sheng stopped arguing and joined the others in responding in unison.

Then, at Ye Liuyun's signal, these people left side by side.

"Judging by the time, it should be about right!"

It's been quite a while since the brothers Yunhu and Guanbao obtained that so-called 'War God Skill'.

The potential and vital energy have been almost completely depleted.

Guan Bao's talent and potential were limited; his upper limit was innate, and he would never break through to the Grandmaster level before he died.

compare to.

Yunhu is different.

Originally, it was thought that the early stage of Grandmaster was Yunhu's limit, but now it seems that he may be able to go further and break through to the mid-stage of Grandmaster.

But that's all there is to it.

After reaching the mid-stage of Grandmaster, Yunhu's cultivation will reach a point where there is no further room for advancement.

"Don't let me down!"

Thinking of Fu Zhengqing, who had suddenly become quiet during this period, Ye Liuyun smiled slightly.

After holding it in for so long, I hope I don't end up farting at the last minute.

Wei Hongfang's side is almost done too.

Everything is ready. Now, let's see how Yan Fuhai will respond!
Think of this.

Ye Liuyun gradually withdrew his thoughts and shifted his attention to his own Starfall Immortal Scripture. Now that he had obtained such a technique, he naturally had to devote more time to it.

Besides cultivation.

Ye Liuyun would occasionally visit Zhaoyu and Lianyu, and only occasionally go to Tianlao.

While cultivation is important, collecting talent attributes is equally important.

It's just a pity.

The effect of having one's wishes fulfilled is absurd, yet not entirely absurd.

After obtaining the Starfall Immortal Scripture, Ye Liuyun experimented with it several times. The better and rarer the item, the greater the consumption of his luck, even though this luck could be recovered.

But this recovery will take time.

The more fortune is lost, the more it will be restored.

It's not that Ye Liuyun can get whatever he really wants.

Otherwise, if someone simply says they want the moon, it's impossible for the moon to actually end up in Ye Liuyun's hands.

But even so.

Ye Liuyun was quite satisfied with this red-quality talent of destiny.

"Speaking of which, I've had this inkstone knife for quite some time now!"

Think of this.

Ye Liuyun looked at the ink-black sword that he always wore at his waist.

Although it is a mid-grade spiritual weapon, in terms of sharpness, it is already comparable to some high-grade spiritual weapons.

But Ye Liuyun's cultivation is getting stronger and stronger.

Although the Ink Blade was good, it was clearly no longer able to keep up with Ye Liuyun's cultivation level. Even the Blood Blade, after being "fed" once, could only provide Ye Liuyun with negligible feedback.

Think of this.

Ye Liuyun gave it a try. Now that he had the cultivation technique, it was time to improve the quality of his weapon.

After repeating it to myself several times.

He didn't think about it anymore and just waited patiently. He was also a little curious whether the weapon would appear in his hands in some absurd yet reasonable way.

I'm kind of looking forward to it!

,,,

"Haha! Hahahaha!"

Just as Ye Liuyun calmed down and began to cultivate.

At this moment, Yunhu and Guan Bao were on the same side.

Although the two brothers each had their own residences, they had somehow started living together, as they were essentially in the same boat.

Perhaps they felt more at ease living together.

Moreover, if any danger arises, the two brothers can face it together in a timely manner.

Just as Guan Bao was cultivating.

Suddenly, Yunhu's unrestrained laughter rang in my ears.

Guan Bao was already quite frustrated because he hadn't been able to make any breakthroughs, and then his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by such loud laughter.

This instantly ignited a surge of anger within Guan Bao.

"who is it!"

I was just about to think, "Who's the reckless fool who dares to laugh at a time like this, disturbing my cultivation?"

But the next moment.

Guan Bao immediately understood.

The one laughing loudly was none other than his second brother.

"Is it possible?"

For Yunhu to be laughing like this, there must be something very good happening. Although Guanbao is a bit impulsive and not as composed as Yunhu,

But he's not a fool either.

There are only a few things that could make Yunhu this happy, and you can guess them.

"No way!"

When I think about that possibility.

Guan Bao showed no sign of being happy for his second brother.

On the contrary, his complexion became rather unpleasant.

At this time.

Guan Bao couldn't care less about continuing his cultivation. He stood up and walked out of the room. There were some things he couldn't calm down without seeing them with his own eyes!
,,,

"Hahaha! That's great! That's great!"

at the same time.

Meanwhile, Yunhu's laughter continued unabated.

The once tidy room was thrown about in all directions by the unconscious internal force that erupted from Yunhu.

Many valuable vases fell to the ground and shattered.

But Yunhu had no time to care about any of that right now. Looking at his hands, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

Breakthrough!
After so much hard work, I've finally made a breakthrough.

Feeling the immense power of a mid-stage Grandmaster, Yun Hu's smile almost became distorted.

"Second brother!"

at this time.

Guan Bao rushed in.

Seeing his second brother's terrifying aura, which was significantly more powerful than before, Guan Bao's pupils shrank.

really.

The thing I feared still happened.

However, despite his inner turmoil, Guan Bao immediately put on a concerned expression and asked.

"Second brother, are you alright? I just saw you suddenly burst into laughter and I thought something had happened!"

"Hahaha! It's okay, of course I'm fine, I'm perfectly alright now!"

After seeing and getting to know Guan Bao.

Yunhu waved his hand dismissively and said.

"It's just that I broke through in my cultivation level, and I couldn't suppress my joy, so I burst out laughing, hahahaha!"

",,,"

Even if I had already guessed it.

But when he heard Yunhu admit it himself, Guan Bao still subconsciously clenched his fist.

They actually broke through!
Worried that he might show something unusual, Guan Bao quickly forced a smile and said.

"Congratulations, Second Brother! From today onwards, you are a mid-stage Grandmaster!"

"Ok!"

Yunhu nodded in satisfaction.

Yunhu was quite pleased with Guan Bao's congratulations.

"Second brother!"

After hesitating for a moment, Guan Bao still asked the question.

"Is there any shortcut to this breakthrough? If I can also break through, wouldn't the Great Qian Dynasty be ours if the two of us Grandmasters joined forces?"

I was already very anxious.

Seeing his second brother break through again and reach the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm, Guan Bao became even more anxious.

In the past...

Yunhu might actually say a few words.

But right now, Yunhu has just broken through.

Moreover, perhaps because he dared to break through, Yunhu's mindset became noticeably restless, and he suddenly became somewhat impatient with Guan Bao's questions.

“There are no shortcuts on the path of cultivation. I, your brother, have also walked this path step by step.”

"You don't need to be too demanding when it comes to talent. With your brother here, who in the Great Qian Dynasty can bully you!"

Perhaps even Yunhu himself didn't notice.

When I said this, my tone clearly carried a sense of superiority.

This sounds like a dismissive remark.

Guan Bao's smile was almost impossible to maintain.

"Yes, yes! With two of them here, what do I have to be afraid of!"

When he said this,
Guan Bao's smile visibly stiffened, and his fist clenched tightly under his sleeve.

I tried hard to suppress my emotions.

"Alright, you should go back now. I need to consolidate my cultivation!"

"His Majesty once said that if I am strong enough, the position of the Nine Thousand Years Old can be handed over to me. I believe that my cultivation at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster level is sufficient!"

Guan Bao originally intended to turn around and leave.

But after hearing Yunhu say that...

There was a noticeable pause.

He turned his head and looked at Yunhu with some disbelief.

"Second brother, when did His Majesty say such a thing?"

Why have I never heard of such a thing before?

"You haven't been by His Majesty's side all the time, of course you wouldn't know!"

He waved his hand.

Yunhu said in a nonchalant tone.

Who wouldn't like a more capable subordinate? Of the two brothers, Yunhu and Guanbao, Yan Fuhai naturally paid more attention to Yunhu.

As for Guan Bao, Yan Fuhai often wouldn't even give him a second glance, and whenever he did, he would entrust the task to Yun Hu. Guan Bao had seen all of this.

Although they were dissatisfied, they dared not say anything.

The reason they initially gathered together was simply to keep warm.

Only by supporting and helping each other can we better survive in the Great Qian Dynasty.

But now, the relationship has clearly changed.

Why.

They all cultivated together, so why did Yunhu break through to the Grandmaster level while I didn't?

Why is Yan Fuhai most concerned about Yun Hu, instead of himself? Why does the position of Ninth Prince belong to Yun Hu, instead of himself?

The more I think about it, the more...

Guan Bao's expression grew increasingly resentful. Yes!

Yunhu was able to break through to the Grandmaster level so quickly, he must have discovered a secret in the cultivation technique that he was unaware of.

Otherwise, why would Yunhu's cultivation speed be so much faster than mine when practicing the same technique?

Could it be that his talent and potential are inferior to Yunhu's?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Guan Bao didn't believe that his talent was inferior to Yun Hu's at all.

Yunhu must have discovered a secret in this manual that you didn't know, but he's not telling you.

Think of this.

Guan Bao lowered his head, a strange resentment burning in his eyes.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

Although I didn't see any change in Guan Bao's eyes.

Seeing that Guan Bao was keeping his head down and hadn't left yet, Yun Hu couldn't help but frown.

No, that's all!

Once he came to his senses, Guan Bao tried his best to control his emotions.

I am no match for Yunhu right now. Even if we break off all pretense of civility, I will be the one who ends up in a miserable state, not Yunhu.

Think of this.

Guan Bao adjusted his breathing, and when he raised his hand again, a smile had appeared on his face.

"I'm just happy for you, Second Brother. You can continue your cultivation, Second Brother. I won't bother you any longer!"

Done.

Guan Bao then turned and left.

",,,"

Watching Guan Bao's departing figure, Yun Hu remained silent. Only after Guan Bao had left did the smile on Yun Hu's face gradually fade.

Even though Yunhu was somewhat swayed by his emotions, his intelligence was still intact.

Yunhu was able to notice some of Guan Bao's subtle changes; in fact, he had noticed them quite some time ago.

but.

Yun Hu had previously used Guan Bao in some situations, and since Guan Bao only vented his frustrations in secret and didn't seem to care on the surface, he didn't pay much attention to it.

But now.

"What a waste!"

Despite using the same technique, he has yet to break through to the Grandmaster level.

In Yunhu's opinion, Guan Bao must have been slacking off. He claimed to be cultivating, but he was actually just indulging in pleasure and had no ambition whatsoever. Otherwise, how could he not have made a breakthrough yet?

How can someone like that deserve to stay by my side?

Back when I was still in the early stages of becoming a Grandmaster.

Although he was outnumbered and outmatched, Yunhu was now at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm, though not yet at the late stage. Even if Wei Hongfang appeared in front of him now, Yunhu was confident he could defeat him.

Whether Guan Bao exists or not seems to be of little importance.

"If they listen, that's fine; if they don't..."

Speaking of it.

Yunhu paused for a moment, his eyes gradually turning dangerous.

He's just a martial artist at the peak of the Innate Realm, there's nothing to be afraid of. It's a waste for someone like him to cultivate the 'God of War Technique'. Why wasn't I the only one who received the news back then?

He shook his head slightly, dismissing the unnecessary thoughts.

Yunhu resumed circulating his internal energy.

Having just broken through, his cultivation still needs to be consolidated.

Moreover, Yunhu believed that if he could break through to the mid-stage of Grandmaster now, he would be able to break through to the late-stage of Grandmaster and then reach the Grandmaster Perfection.

Even the Grandmaster realm.

Who knows?

Even the realm of terrestrial immortals, where Yan Fuhai resides, is something I have the opportunity to glimpse.

have to say.

As his cultivation level improved, his ambition clearly increased as well.

Moreover, this so-called God of War Technique will affect the practitioner's state of mind and will.

It wasn't obvious before.

But once the potential is exhausted and the training reaches its limit, this effect will gradually become apparent.

,,,

"the next day!"

Guan Bao did not stay in the mansion to cultivate as usual.

Yunhu went to the palace, but Guanbao did not.

Guan Bao knew that if Yun Hu went there, the position of the Ninth Prince might fall into Yun Hu's hands.

Guan Bao was genuinely worried that he wouldn't be able to hold back and would explode in front of Yun Hu and Yan Fuhai if he had to watch Yun Hu sit in the position he had always longed for.

If a scene were to break out in the palace, I wouldn't gain anything at all.

It is precisely because of this.

Guan Bao refused to go to the palace with Yun Hu, citing that he had reached the final stage of his cultivation.

And because I can't calm my mind.

Guan Bao went straight out of the manor to drink, showing no interest in cultivation whatsoever!

"Damn it, why wasn't I the only one who obtained the War God Technique back then?!"

That's why they say they're not blood brothers, but they're closer than blood brothers.

The ideas of Guan Bao and Yun Hu were quite similar.

Everyone was wondering why they weren't the only ones to obtain the War God Skill back then, so they wouldn't have to worry about this now.

"damn it!"

A glass of wine.

Unable to control his emotions, Guan Bao smashed the cup in his hand.

Their faces were so distorted they looked almost ferocious.

",,,"

This situation came out of nowhere.

The atmosphere in the restaurant became quiet for a moment.

But Guan Bao didn't care about this situation at all.

He took out a silver ingot from his pocket, beckoned to the waiter, and said...

"Can't you see my broken glass? Bring me another one!"

Upon seeing the silver ingots, even the restaurant owner, who had just been about to say something, immediately shut up and waved to the waiter.

"Please wait a moment, sir!"

Those who dare to open a restaurant in a place like the capital city must have some courage.

The waiter quickly brought Guan Bao a new wine glass and skillfully cleaned up the crumbs on the ground.

for all this.

Guan Bao didn't even glance at him, continuing to drink as if nothing had happened. He had money, so what was there to worry about?

They say that drinking alcohol only makes you more sorrowful.

The more wine Guan Bao drank, the more intense his emotions became, rather than finding any relief.

The more I think about it, the more frustrated I feel.

And just then!
"Let's go! What's the point of coming to a restaurant if you don't have money!"

Sitting on the second floor, Guan Bao could see the situation of the restaurant across the street.

A somewhat disheveled figure was seen being driven out of the restaurant.

"How dare you! Who do you think you are, pushing our house like that!"

"Do you think our family can't kill you?"

Wei Hongfang was also furious, and his internal energy involuntarily began to circulate.

He used to be a high-ranking official, and all the people in these restaurants used to kneel down and look up to him when they saw him. But now they dare to push and shove him.

How could Wei Hongfang possibly accept this?

but!

Despite Wei Hongfang's somewhat intimidating aura, the waiter in the restaurant didn't take him too seriously.

Instead, he said it nonchalantly.

"Lord Wei, do you really think you're still the same old Ninth Thousand Years Old?"

"A restaurant is a place where you pay to eat. If you don't have money, do you expect to eat?"

"You want to make a move? Go ahead and kill me if you dare. Anyway, I have no parents, no wife, and no children, so it doesn't matter if I die. I'm just afraid that the Embroidered Uniform Guard won't let you off the hook, Lord Wei!"

Done.

Finally, he gave Wei Hongfang a disdainful look, as if mocking Wei Hongfang for not daring to make a move.

"you!"

Wei Hongfang became even angrier.

However, he showed no intention of taking action, since the Embroidered Uniform Guard would not stand idly by if someone committed murder in the capital.

Wei Hongfang was naturally not afraid of ordinary Jinyiwei, but when he thought that the current commander of the Southern Garrison of Jinyiwei was the successor of Ye Liuyun, Wei Hongfang realized that no matter how angry he was, he could only suppress his anger.

Even before Ye Liuyun broke through to the Grandmaster level, he was no match for him.

Now that Ye Liuyun is already a Grandmaster, wouldn't I be even less able to defeat him?

If they were to take action, and Ye Liuyun found a pretext to arrest the Imperial Guards, they would be caught.

Let alone regain his position as the Ninth Prince, he might even be killed by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Wei Hongfang never thought that Ye Liuyun was a kind person.

"whispering sound!"

Seeing that Wei Hongfang really didn't dare to make a move.

The waiter felt a little more at ease, but he gave Wei Hongfang a disdainful look before turning around and going back into the restaurant.

",,,"

Wei Hongfang was left outside.

It seemed to be able to sense the countless eyes around it looking at it, and the ridicule and mockery hidden in those eyes.

damn it.

Once I regain my position as the Ninth Prince, all of these people will die! All of them!
No matter how angry he was inside, Wei Hongfang only stood there for a moment before turning around and walking away step by step!
,,,

"Wei Hongfang?"

Guan Bao, who was on the second floor of the restaurant across the street, narrowed his eyes slightly after seeing this scene.

I never expected to see Wei Hongfang in a place like this.

And in this way, no less.

Although he had heard that Wei Hongfang was having a hard time and had even mocked him, Guan Bao didn't feel much mockery after seeing it with his own eyes.

On the contrary, they even felt a sense of shared sorrow for the fallen.

When Yunhu actually sat on the throne of the Ninth Prince.

If the other party's cultivation level keeps rising while one's own remains stagnant, could Wei Hongfang today become oneself tomorrow?

Think of this.

Yunhu didn't even want to drink anymore, and his face turned extremely ugly.

He watched Wei Hongfang leave in silence, hesitated for a moment, then put down his wine glass and followed him.

,,,

Wei Hongfang's steps were not fast.

As he walked past a deserted corner, he suddenly stopped and spoke loudly.

"What, are you here to laugh at our family too?"

Wei Hongfang's cultivation level was not destroyed; he was still at the late stage of Grandmaster.

You can naturally sense that someone is following you, and you can even tell who the other person is.
