Chapter 883: A Meteorite From Beyond Heaven

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A cold light flickered in Xu Heran’s eyes. Although he seemed old, he was one of the very few sharp-eyed ones in Huixun City.

He recognized the incoming people in one glance.

Wu Xuning was the Wu family’s youngest master. The Wu family had a top-grade Spiritualist who was also considered a prominent figure among the rogue cultivator clans, hence Xu Heran was familiar with them. Nonetheless, he was curious about another person among the 5 figures that were coming out of the forest.

Yu Tianrui, who was the young fellow that had a small conflict with Li Tianyu outside the Beyond Heaven Pavilion, had gotten along with Wu Xuning.

Xu Heren subconsciously glanced at the dark name on the Water Suspension Tablet and came to a sudden realization. ‘No wonder this fella didn’t kill a single ferocious beast. Looks like he clung to the Wu family’s youngest master and handed his blood crystals over.’

Even so, this was not rare in the past Hunting Meets, so the elder was indifferent to it.

The people that were hurrying over were Ou Yangming and his companions. A red crow was with them, but a spirit beast of such a level was not hard to come by in the Spiritual Realm. In particular, it was not that eye-catching as compared to the outstanding spirit beasts from the Wang family and the Li family.

Li Tianyu fixed his gaze on Ou Yangming.

When he left that day, he initially thought that Ou Yangming and the others would definitely be killed by the top-grade savage beast. Who knew, they walked out of the forest alive.

Ou Yangming and the others arrived below the Water Suspension Tablet after a brief moment. It was worth noting that those who entered this area must be participants of the Hunting Meet. As for the other powerhouses, as powerful as they were, they dared not take even half a step into the zone.

The young fellow sensed the killing intent from Li Tianyu’s look, but he was not bothered at all.

People like Li Tianyu were just ants to him. If he had to pay attention to every ant, living would be too tiring for him.

A cold look could be seen in Li Tianyu’s eyes. He suddenly laughed hideously and asked softly, “Young fella, do you think that you’ll be safe if you cling to the Wu family?” He then scanned Xue Xuanle and remarked with a smile. “Not bad—as long as you’re alive.”

He was unruly and arrogant, but he was not a fool, so he knew that it would be inappropriate to make noise and fight Ou Yangming in this occasion. Nevertheless, given his identity, it would be fine for him to threaten the young fellow a little.

Wu Xuning was slightly stunned. His face immediately took on a grave look as he asked, “Young Master Li, what do you mean?”

Li Tianyu curled his lips disdainfully and said, “Wu Xuning, I advise you to stay further from this person. I’ll be taking his life.”

Wu Xuning’s face changed. He responded in a deep voice, “Young Master Li, Big Brother Yu’s my savior. If you’d like to go against him, I won’t sit by idly no matter what!”

A fierce look flashed in Li Tianyu’s eyes. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed Xu Heran glancing at him.

His face changed, and he quickly held back. He uttered coldly, “Let’s wait and see then.” Subsequently, he turned around and took a few steps back.

Wu Xuning turned and smiled bitterly at Ou Yangming. “Big Brother Yu, did you offend him?”

Ou Yangming shrugged. “I didn’t offend anyone.”

“Then…” Wu Xuning was confused.

Ou Yangming replied to him innocently, “If you’re only walking on a street when a mad dog barks and wants to bite you, what can you do?”

He did not speak loudly but did not try to hide it at all, thus almost everyone around him heard him clearly.

After hearing his description, everyone was dumbfounded and had strange looks on their faces.

To most people, Li Tianyu was indeed the same as a mad dog, but very few people in Huixun City dared to say what Ou Yangming did.

Li Tianyu suddenly turned around and did not hide the killing intent in his eyes. He even released a strong cold intent that would give one lingering fear.

Upon seeing this, Li Xinyi glanced past Ou Yangming and told Li Tianyu softly, “Tianyu, don’t delay business.”

Li Tianyu slowly looked away and uttered obediently, “Yes.” He turned and left again, and he stopped holding on to the matter.

Despite that, the people around Ou Yangming looked pitifully at him as though they were looking at a dead man.

Inside Huixun City, anyone that dared to insult a Venerable One’s only grandson would be courting death. The crowd looked at Wu Xuning and were rather puzzled. Even though the Wu family was also quite notable in the city, they could not be mentioned on equal terms with the 2 Venerable Ones. ‘Looks like the Wu family will be in bad luck…’

Xu Heran watched everything coldly on the side. He sighed and looked past everyone to stare at the deep and unpredictable Forest of Death.

It was true that the forest had countless hidden treasures, but it was also full of danger. Moreover, due to certain reasons, unless it was necessary, Venerable Ones and top-grade Spiritualists would not enter the forest. If powerhouses of those levels dared to go on killing sprees in the forest, they would surely bring unpredictable consequences. This was the real reason it was so difficult to gather the blood crystals of high-rank ferocious beasts.

Therefore, while Li Tianyu went slightly out of line, for the sake of the high-rank blood crystal that he was carrying, Xu Heran turned a blind eye to what happened.

Seeing as the situation had calmed down, Xu Heran looked around and announced sternly, “It’s past noon now, so the Hunting Meet has come to an end.” He paused for a while before he continued, “If anyone hasn’t exited the forest, they can still bring their blood crystals to the Beyond Heaven Pavilion. We trade fairly at the pavilion and won’t deceive anyone.”

His cold voice spread without any emotions, but the crowd nodded one after another.

If they could not feel assured doing business with the Beyond Heaven Pavilion, they would not know who they should find.

Wu Xuning stepped forward and warned Ou Yangming softly, “Big Brother Yu, Li Tianyu’s thinking of killing you already, so you must be careful.”

Ou Yangming chuckled and nodded. He would need to be careful if his opponent was the Li family’s Venerable One, but a mere playboy from the Li family was not worth his time. The only thing was that the young fellow was embarrassed to decline Wu Xuning’s good intention.

Xu Heran spoke loudly, “The Beyond Pavilion has prepared a generous reward this time, and I believe that none of you will be disappointed.”

Everyone became curious. Given that Xu Heran regarded it as a generous reward, it was certainly not simple.

Wang Weinian laughed out loud. “Brother Xu, you don’t need to be so secretive anymore. What exactly is the first prize? Can you reveal the mystery now?”

The Wang family was already on the cusp of victory, hence the elder was extremely proud.

Having said that, Wang Haobin had a huge gain this time. Not only did he obtain a mutated high-rank vicious beast’s blood crystal, but he also acquired a top-grade beast’s blood crystal. If the Beyond Heaven Pavilion was not going to show their sincerity, he might not be willing to exchange them for anything.

Xu Heran grinned. He tapped and retrieved something from his interspatial bag.

It was a black stone, but it seemed to carry a hint of a peculiar luster.

He slowly placed it on the ground and noted, “This is a meteorite from beyond heaven. It’s indestructible and carried a queer power. Hehe, feel free to probe it with your mental powers.”

The eyes of Wang Weinian and the others gleamed. They released their mental conceptions at the same time.

Spiritualists would more or less possess some mental power, where the difference between them would be how strong or weak their powers were. Needless to say, the mental powers of ordinary cultivators could not be mentioned on equal terms with that of casters.

However, when everyone tried to pry the meteorite with their mental powers, their faces could not help but change.

This was because they sensed their mental powers being slightly deviated. They were probing the meteorite, but their mental powers were somehow led elsewhere.

It was as if an invisible power that could not be sensed was lingering around the meteorite, causing their mental powers to be unknowingly guided away.

The abnormality was never seen before, let alone heard of.

Wang Weinian looked surprised yet overjoyed. The mere stone was showing such an unordinary phenomenon. If it was refined into a piece of equipment, what could it become?

Of course, it would not be easy to successfully smith the item into a suitable piece of equipment. That said, given the Wang family’s abilities and connections, Wang Xinnian was confident about having the equipment smithed.

Ou Yangming’s eyelids flickered as well. He released his mental power like the others and experienced the same thing. Nonetheless, unlike the rest, the young fellow’s mental power was particularly strong, and he vaguely sensed the function of the meteorite’s power.

If the treasure, which could draw mental powers, was used appropriately, it could increase one’s mental power by a huge margin.

He was a caster, but he was adept in martial arts techniques from the moment he started learning about martial arts. When he exchanged blows with others, his trump card was also a spear that could sweep the world.

Though he possessed remarkable mental power and secret Skill Rune techniques to complement that, he did not have a convenient weapon to use. As such, he had been a nondescript caster.

Ou Yangming asked loudly as he was moved, “Senior, is it really indestructible?”

Everyone was struck dumb, and they quickly focused on him again.

Given the occasion, the young fellow was quite bold to question Xu Heran.

That being said, the people were relieved after seeing Ou Yangming. Since he had the guts to insult the family member of a Venerable One, it did not seem odd for him to act presumptuously.

Xu Heran nodded calmly and said, “Yes. If you’re worried, you can go ahead and test it.”

Ou Yangming hesitated for a while before he responded, “Please excuse me for the offense then.”

With that, he strode toward the meteorite from beyond heaven.

Xu Heran’s face twitched. He had said it rather mockingly, but he did not think that the young fellow would seize the opportunity and be thick-faced enough to inspect it.

Nevertheless, he could not take extreme actions in public, hence he could only suppress his dissatisfaction.
