Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!-Chapter 437 - 314: The Change of the Halberd, Yuan Jun Leaves a Message, Ice and Fire Annihilate Jade, An Anomaly Rises Again Between Heaven and Earth._2

With a single command from Yi Chen, the gates of the other courtyard swung open and four robust men carrying a golden throne stepped in.

The back of the throne was adorned with the engraving of a golden sun that shimmered brilliantly.

On the armrests were the etched patterns of ferocious tigers and evil dragon designs on the back, while the top of the backrest featured a steppe god ox with blood-red eyes and an imposing posture, head held high as if to strike the heavens.

In the center of the throne’s backrest, numerous exotic gemstones were inlaid, radiating dazzling light, while the base below was lined with intricate array patterns.

"My lords, you are too kind."

Yi Chen was very pleased with this gift.

If he was pleased, he would boast about it, just like Yi Taoist would be the first to pick up his chopsticks.

After several rounds of drinks and a variety of dishes passed the table, the guests seemed to have gotten to know Yi Chen’s temperament, and their boldness grew gradually.

"Alliance Hierarch, do you have any plans that require our service after your meeting with the Doumu Origin Lord?" someone asked, intentionally or not.

Yi Chen looked at the man, drained his cup on the table, and, revealing a smirking smile, said:

"Don’t meddle in affairs that aren’t your concern."

"Yuan Jun possesses astonishing wisdom, weaving through the hidden paths and deep currents, not something we can surmise; focus on your own tasks."

"In this age of great contention, it’s crucial to follow the right person; those who waver will end up like this wine cup in my hand, not yet crushed by my grip, but already shattered."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Yi Chen’s fingers came together, and the wine cup in his palm crumbled into sand, spilling through his fingers like shifting dunes.

Two days later, Yi Chen said farewell to Qin Yun, Zhen Ruan, and others by the shores of the Moonwatching Lake.

All this was due to a message on his blue Star Disc from Yuan Jun, who praised his ’sensible’ actions in the Northern Region, giving her great face and inviting him to attend the Great Qin Legal Assembly at Taiwu Mountain.

The reason was quite simple: if the Yuqing True King’s hall dispatched a representative, her Beidou Yuan Jun’s hall also had to send someone, otherwise, Yuan Jun’s hall would seem inferior.

In the Star Disc, Yuan Jun hinted that recent upheavals were likely coming, and in these turbulent times, the Hidden Dragon Temple in the Central Continent was no longer safe.

To be cautious, and as a price, she could arrange for the core members of Hidden Dragon Temple to take refuge in the Greedy Wolf Star Palace; in exchange, Yi Chen would need to act on behalf of Beidou Yuan Jun’s hall in the Great Qin Legal Assembly, outcome notwithstanding.

Even if Yuan Jun hadn’t mentioned it, Yi Chen had already considered bringing his junior brothers over these past few days.

He still had unsettled business with Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple, the Yan Family of the great metropolis, and others. With the world in chaos, including concerns of supernatural changes and the Eastern Continent sharpening their swords, it was safer to move his junior brothers to the free heaven of the Greedy Wolf Star Palace.

By doing so, he would have no vulnerability left and could engage fully in the great struggle ahead.

As for his previous grand plans, it could only be said that circumstances change faster than plans; those sundry items would have to be discarded where they stood.

Today, Zhen Ruan’s complexion was rosy and radiant, her face showing less of her usual heroism and more of a coquettish charm.

"Husband, travel safely. My mother and I will surely take great care in collecting those shadowy items," Zhen Ruan said obediently as Yi Chen prepared to leave.

After exchanging a few words and watching Zhen Ruan and Qin Yun depart, Yi Chen no longer hesitated and decided to set off that day, but not before he had to meet someone else.

The behind-the-scenes owner of Moonwatch Tower was due to hurry to Xungui City to meet with him today.

Yi Chen arrived at a desolate mountain outside the city as agreed, and upon his arrival, he heard a lonely voice:

"Aged and decrepit, years have been unkind.

"Half my hair turned white, thin bones wrapped in yellow skin.

"The broad river fights the cold clouds on a quiet night, the sky without walls lets the wind prod.

"This humble Han Jiyue pays respects to Hidden Dragon Taoist, and begs for salvation from the Hidden Dragon Taoist," the old man pleaded.

He exuded the vibes of a full-fledged practitioner, yet his life force was so fragile it seemed like a candle flame in the wind, nearing the end of his lifespan in Yi Chen’s perception.

"Elder, you’ve offered a generous gift and ensured warm hospitality; now you’ve traveled thousands of miles to see me for this? If I’m not mistaken, your days are numbered, and I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do to change that," Yi Chen said, furrowing his brow as he preemptively cautioned the old man.

It was impolite to flaunt a few days of lavish hospitality and then make such a request; presumptuous fellows who lacked extraordinary wisdom couldn’t learn his life-prolonging methods, and even if they could, the price wouldn’t be nearly enough.

"How could I possibly make such a demand? When I ask the Taoist to save a life, it’s not my own, but the life of my granddaughter Han Xinyue, the sole heir of the Han family from Zeyang City," the old man insisted.

"This... I am merely an outsider, and everything depends on fate. I intend to head to Taiwu Mountain soon, and Zeyang City is quite out of the way..."

"I am willing to offer the family’s treasured natural wonders, one piece of Ice Calamity Jade and one piece of Fire Calamity Jade, to plead for your help in saving the sole surviving member of the Han family!"

"If you succeed, my family is willing to gift the daily golden income of Moonwatch Tower to the Hidden Dragon Taoist," the old man said earnestly, striking a chord of compassion in Yi Chen.

Ah, I have recently condensed my Pure Yang Primordial Spirit, and just now, upon calculating, there is indeed an unfulfilled karmic connection with Zeyang City. Not bad.

"If you trust me enough, tell me the whole story from beginning to end, and let’s see what I can do. But let me be clear beforehand: if I decide to help, I will give it my all. However, if in the end my powers fall short and I cannot find the person or fail to save her, the Ice and Fire Calamity Jades will not be returned."

"I have long heard of Hidden Dragon Taoist’s reputed honesty, and I trust you," the old man said politely, before proceeding to relay the full account of events to Yi Chen.
