Chapter 211 Man Can Conquer Nature

Ni Xuetian-one of the top-notch great ancestors from the Ni family-suddenly appeared in front of Ou Yangming and Big Yellow.

Ou Yangming glanced at the big yellow dog and knew at once that the Ni family’s great ancestors must have been attracted by it. ‘But based on how sharp-witted Big Yellow is, how could it not know if someone was tailing it? It was too careless!’

Feeling somewhat mad, Ou Yangming kicked the big yellow dog’s butt.

The big yellow dog neither dodged nor resisted as though it knew it was in the wrong. Nonetheless, as the big dog clenched its butt and tucked its tail between its legs, it cast an innocent look at Ou Yangming to express, ‘I don’t know when he started following me too…’

Ni Xuetian twitched his face as he wondered, “That’s the Ni family’s Supreme Great Ancestor, is it appropriate for you to treat it like that?’

Nevertheless, he looked up and pretended like he did not see anything.

 His face darkened when he scanned their surroundings with his sharp eyes. “Who were you fighting against?”

Ou Yangming quickly answered, “Senior, a Supreme Great Ancestor was pursuing me with intentions to kill. Luckily, I met Big Yellow, and we joined hands to scare that person away.”

“Pursuing you to kill you?” Ni Xuetian narrowed his eyes and released an extremely strong killing intent. He suddenly flashed and soared into the sky, where he spiraled in mid-air like a big bird dancing in the air.

Ni Xuetian descended after a brief moment, and he looked ashamed but furious at the same time. “Where did he escape to?”

‘He was devoured by Big Yellow,’ Ou Yangming thought, but he replied to the great ancestor, “He went that way!”

“No, that should be where you came from.” Ni Xuetian furrowed his eyebrows.

“He used a peculiar method, where he sped up to take flight, and he vanished in the blink of an eye,” Ou Yangming explained without any hesitation.

Ni Xuetian was stunned, and his face took on a grave expression right away. “The Five Elements Flight Technique?”

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up. “Senior, what’s the Five Elements Flight Technique?”

“The Five Elements Flight Technique is the mightiest flight art. Once it’s used, even a Supreme Great Ancestor can’t catch up to that person; it’s a powerful secret technique that surpasses all lost studies. That said, it’s incredibly difficult to learn the secret technique, and it’s harmful toward one’s Qi and blood if it’s performed, so only very few have grasped it,” Ni Xuetian answered.

Ou Yangming opened his mouth as he wanted to ask about the differences between the Five Elements Flight Technique and the Blood Flight Secret Technique in his waist sash to see which was better. However, he instantly got rid of the thought.

Ni Xuetian suddenly questioned with a stern look, “Lil’ Friend Ou, where are they now?”

His voice trembled a little when he raised the question.

Ou Yangming said to himself, ‘Why are you so anxious? Are you worried about Ni Yinghong or He Liangce?’

“Senior, they’re both well.” Ou Yangming paused for a while, then he told the great ancestor about their encounter with Ni Xueming and Zhang Tianshi after they left the forest.

Ni Xuetian sneered with a dark face. “Xueming, heh, heh…” Ou Yangming had goosebumps when he heard the great ancestor’s response because it was full of killing intent. He was certain that Ni Xuetian probably intended to let Ni Xueming off the hook at first, but the great ancestor definitely changed his mind now.

Ni Xuetian glanced at Ou Yangming and assured him. “Lil’ Friend Ou, don’t worry, the Ni family will surely give you an explanation regarding this matter.” Ou Yangming shook his head. “Senior, you’re being too polite. He’s nothing but a clown, so I’m not afraid. But if Elder Sister Ying meets Zhang Tianshi…”

“Don’t worry. Since Zhang Tianshi recognized her and He Liangce is with her, as daring as he is, he won’t have the guts to hurt them.” Ni Xuetian sneered and added in disdain, “Besides, even if he plans to kill them, he might not succeed.”

Ou Yangming was shocked by how Ni Xuetian was so confident about He Liangce. Moreover, the young fellow was also confused because the great ancestor sounded like he was implying something else.

“Woof…” Big Yellow barked at the spur of the moment and stared at Ni Xuetian.

“Big Yellow, you’re supposed to keep watch over the Land of Inheritance, but you left abruptly.” Ni Xuetian smiled bitterly and revealed a crystal ball as he turned his wrist. “You’re the Ni family’s Great Land-guarding Ancestor now, so we naturally have to track you.”

He would not have explained to an ordinary pet, but Big Yellow had a different identity now. Furthermore, with Ou Yangming the potential threat around, the great ancestor did not want any mishaps to take place.

The big yellow dog was startled for a while before he barked twice to express its dissatisfaction.

Although it was not human, it had an exquisite heart, which was not inferior to a human’s at all. As such, the big yellow dog was unwilling to be monitored.

Ni Xuetian explained with a bitter smile, “Big Yellow, this is our clan’s rule, and I’m sure you’re aware of the consequence when the previous Great Land-guarding Ancestor broke the rule. The Ni family’s Land of Inheritance has been cut off for a long time, and we would still be helpless now if it wasn’t for Lil’ Friend Ou.”

The big yellow dog blinked and whined, then it finally lowered its head to resign itself to fate.

Ni Xuetian sighed a breath of relief and turned to ask, “Lil’ Friend Ou, how did you and Big Yellow contact each other?”

Ou Yangming laughed and responded carefully, “Senior, would you believe me if I say it was just a coincidence?”

“What do you think?” Ni Xuetian asked without an expression.

Ou Yangming nodded and said, “Since we were able to stumble upon Zhang Tianshi and the other people when we exited the immense forest, what else is impossible?” Ni Xuetian scoffed. “How do you know it was a chance encounter? Perhaps they were already waiting for you!”

“We didn’t exit the immense forest from a fixed spot, and it was He Liangce who led us out. Even if he wanted to kill me, he’ll never employ such an unpresentable method,” Ou Yangming expressed after some thought.

‘He Liangce is a capable young man indeed; he gained this young fella’s trust after a short adventure.’ Ni Xuetian was dumbfounded. Nonetheless, some people were born with that charm, and they could easily gain another person’s approval. The ability was considered a natural gift, and it could not be envied.

The great elder sighed and shook his head. “Lil’ Ou Friend, I’ll consider it a coincidence, but I hope there’ll be lesser dangerous coincidences as such in the future.”

Ou Yangming immediately guaranteed. “Yes, don’t worry, senior.”

Since Ni Xuetian had put it this way, it showed that he was not going to look into the spiritual connection between Ou Yangming and Big Yellow. Unquestionably, it was great news for the young fellow.

Ni Xuetian suddenly asked when he glanced around, “What’s this?”

Ou Yangming looked as well, and he replied to the elder, “Oh, this is the half-spirit beast that we slaughtered in the strange bamboo forest.”

“Oh, is this the beast?” Ni Xuetian looked at it closely and frowned. “No, this one looks much smaller!”

“Ah, this… Big Yellow was hungry after the fight, so it ate half of it to fill its stomach.” Ou Yangming pointed and noted, “Look, there’s still blood in its mouth.” The big yellow dog perked up its tail and opened its huge mouth at Ni Xuetian. Sure enough, traces of blood could be seen inside.

Ni Xuetian somehow knew when he looked at the half-spirit beast’s odd and disproportionate carcass that the truth was not as simple as it seemed. Despite that, he decided that he would not get to the bottom of it no matter what Ou Yangming said. If that was not the case, the great ancestor would not have let it be if he knew that Ou Yangming and Big Yellow were still spiritually connected.

Seeing as Ni Xuetian stopped questioning, Big Yellow turned and kicked Ou Yangming with its right foot.

Ou Yangming lowered his head and mouthed the word “equipment”, and Big Yellow was instantly content.

Ni Xuetian turned a blind eye to their small interaction. He uttered, “Lil’ Friend Ou, since you’re back, let us send Big Yellow back to the cave. As for the great ancestor who escaped, heh, allow me to make a move if he dares to show up again.”

Based on the great ancestor’s strength and his magic military saber, he could certainly kill Cheng Bingyu. This was the power of having a piece of super equipment; its effect was simply unbelievable if one used it against an equal-ranked opponent.

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrow and spoke his mind, “Senior, there’s something I’d like to ask.”

“Go ahead.”

“Senior, may I ask if you’re aware of what’s going on between Elder Sister Ying and me?”

Ni Xuetian looked grim. He pondered for a while before he said, “Lil’ Friend Ou, you’ve done a huge favor for the Ni family. We’re not people who repay kindness with ingratitude, and you and Yinghong are a match made in Heaven, so we’ll be more than happy if you tie the knot.”

“Woof!” The big yellow dog barked loudly but with hidden bitterness in its eyes. ‘Are you talking about this in front of me on purpose to torture me—a single dog?’ Ou Yangming glared snappily at the big dog, who shrunk its neck and shut up. “Senior, thank you for your good intention, but your actions don’t seem to reflect that…”

Ni Xuetian shook his head and sighed. “If the two of you were born ten years earlier, everything would’ve been carried out smoothly.”

Ou Yangming was taken aback. He could tell how helpless Ni Xuetian was by the great ancestor’s tone. The young fellow took a step back and cupped his hands as he bowed to the ground. “Senior, please be more explicit.”

Ni Xuetian revealed the truth after a moment of hesitation. “The man possesses Iron Blood Loyal Heart while the lady sacrifices for a noble cause. This is their destiny, and nobody can change it.”

Ou Yangming looked up at once, and he somehow felt a chill in his heart.

‘The lady sacrifices for a noble cause?!’

If he did not interpret it wrongly, it was undoubtedly a bad thing.

“Lil’ Friend Ou, stop asking. This is destiny, and it’s not something that we can violate.” Ni Xuetian waved his hand and advised with a serious face, “Just give up; it’s God’s will.”

Ou Yangming smiled all of a sudden after some thought. “I understand now. Thank you, senior.”

Ni Xuetian was worried. This fella didn’t become silly because he’s too mad, did he?’

“I’m at ease now that I know you were forced to act against your will. As for God’s will…” Ou Yangming flashed a bright smile. “Back when Old Man was seriously ill, I believed man could conquer nature. Hehe, I still stand by that phrase-man can conquer nature.”

Ni Xuetian opened his mouth and was in a daze when he looked at Ou Yangming. It was as if it was his first time seeing the young fellow.

An indescribable feeling surged in the great ancestor’s heart.

‘Can this young fella really create miracles…’
