Chapter 2348 2322 Death Spread (Four more)
Chapter 2348: Chapter 2322: Death Spread! (Four more) Chapter 2348: Chapter 2322: Death Spread! (Four more) The young man with silver pupils and golden eyes waved his hand indifferently, “No matter, I’m quite bored anyway.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief and continued to speak, “Young Master Wu Ming, I have come to you with a request!”
“Oh?” Now, this youth known as Wu Ming truly became interested. He gazed at Xu Yi, “Elder Xu, you should be very clear about the price for my help, right?”
At the young man’s gaze, Xu Yi suddenly felt an intense pressure that compelled him to swallow hard!
Could it be that an individual who hadn’t stepped into the Great Void realm was able to exert such a terrifying pressure on a Great Void Strong Person with just one look?
It was almost inconceivable.
Xu Yi could not help but mutter to himself, “Indeed, the rumors must be true, this person’s cultivation is weaker than mine, yet he truly possesses strength beyond the Great Void realm!”
This silver-pupiled, golden-eyed man was the mysterious genius ranked first on the Profound Ascension Rankings. Since no one knew his name, he was known as Young Master Wu Ming!
There had always been a legend circulating among the distinguished Great Void Strong People on the Lingwu Continent that the Young Master Wu Ming at the top of the Profound Ascension Rankings possessed a might surpassing theirs!
This Young Master Wu Ming hardly interacted with anyone, and the few who knew where he lived were the Great Void realm experts among the Ten Great Families of the Lingwu Continent!
Sometimes, Young Master Wu Ming would make deals with the strong among the Ten Great Families.
That is to say, only those on the Lingwu Continent who truly reached the pinnacle of power and background were qualified to associate with him!
Long ago, Young Master Wu Ming had set a rule.
If someone wanted his help with something, it was possible.
However, there were two conditions.
First, the matter had to be sufficiently interesting to him; he would not concern himself with common power struggles and the like.
Second, if one wanted his assistance, they would have to hand over control of their force for one year!
What did this mean?
It meant that if Xu Yi wanted Wu Ming to take action, during the next year, the Xu family would effectively belong to Wu Ming! Even the two Great Void realm Grand Elders and the Great Void realm Xu family head would have to obey him!
Of course, Wu Ming would not really propose requests like making the entire Xu family commit suicide, something that the Xu family members simply could not accept.
However, one should not underestimate the significance of this one year!
A year was long enough to change many things! Especially for a top-tier noble house like the Xu family, even overturning the whole power landscape of the Lingwu Continent was not impossible!
Xu Yi took a deep breath, determination flickering across his face as he spoke, “Young Master Wu Ming, I understand. Once this matter is accomplished, for the coming year, my Xu family will follow your lead alone!”
This was the agreement he had reached with other decision-makers of the Xu family before his departure.
Wu Ming nodded, “Hmm, go ahead. But remember, if it’s too boring, I won’t take action.”
Hearing this, Xu Yi delighted inside. Wu Ming’s words meant that the deal was virtually done!
Because Xu Yi could guarantee that this matter would be very interesting to Wu Ming!
What was it?
What else could it be!
A flash of suppressive fury crossed Xu Yi’s eyes as he began, “Here’s the situation. My grandson, Xu Sheng, was severely injured by someone yesterday, and I would like to ask for your help in killing that person.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Ming’s face, which had shown a flicker of interest, suddenly displayed a chill. He spoke with displeasure, “You bring me such a trivial matter? Elder Xu, you haven’t mistaken me for some sort of enforcer, have you?”
Xu Yi’s face paled slightly as he quickly bowed his head in explanation, “Young Master, you misunderstand! I haven’t finished speaking! This person is special; his level of cultivation is low—a mere Star Aperture realm expert. However, my Xu family finds it difficult to deal with him!”
The Xu family, a formidable power, quickly gathered most of Ye Chen’s information! Any sufficiently powerful expert could sense the divine mark on Ye Chen’s body, which naturally didn’t escape the Xu family’s notice.
“Hmm?” Wu Ming’s interest gleamed brighter, “Interesting, continue. Why can’t you handle him?”
“Because this person has the divine mark of the Divine Kingdom!”
A sparkle shot through Wu Ming’s eyes as he said, “I see, so the Great Void realm experts cannot interfere with him directly. But, your Xu family isn’t lacking other strong people, right? To deal with a Star Aperture realm being, you still need my help?”
Hearing this, Xu Yi could not help but give a bitter smile as he replied, “The problem lies precisely there. Somehow, this youngster is extremely mysterious. His actual strength defies logic and could be considered heaven-defying! He’s even invincible against early-stage Sealed Gate realm experts!”
“What!?” Even Wu Ming was finally shaken. Excitement flickered in his silver eyes!
How interesting!
Incredibly interesting!
A Star Aperture realm contender able to challenge the peak-level Sealed Gate realm?
He had thought only he was capable of such a feat, but it seemed this world still had many unknowns, didn’t it?
But this unknown—although it piqued his interest—he did not wish for its existence!
A cold glint erupted from Wu Ming’s golden pupils.
On this Lingwu Continent, having him as the sole peerless genius was quite enough. Any more would be unwanted. Aside from the Divine Kingdom, he had been influencing the elite circles of the entire Lingwu Continent himself!
It wasn’t an overstatement to say that the Lingwu Continent’s elite circles were under his control—and the emergence of this genius in Xu Yi’s story brought an unpredictable element to Wu Ming.
He did not enjoy the overly mundane or boring and could accept some degree of variability—but that variation had to be within his control!
For example, if this person had only the strength of the Star Aperture Cultivation but could rival an early-stage Sealed Gate realm expert, that too would be a highly formidable genius, yet within Wu Ming’s acceptable range.
He would have been interested in Ye Chen but would not accept Xu Yi’s request. Instead, he would observe Ye Chen himself and then decide how to deal with him.
But now, the situation was different. A genius who stood at the peak of the Sealed Gate realm while only being in the Star Aperture realm posed a hint of uncontrollable danger to Wu Ming…
Therefore, it was necessary to snuff out this uncertainty at its bud!
Death was spreading swiftly!
After a brief moment of contemplation, Wu Ming lifted his head and smiled at Xu Yi, “Alright, I am willing to act on behalf of the Xu family. What is this person’s name?”
Joy flickered in Xu Yi’s eyes as he eagerly responded, “His name is Ye Chen, and he is currently attending the Tianchen Auction on Feilei Island!”
