Chapter 1871: Chapter 1870: The Alliance Hierarch Attempts to Seize Jiang Xue, Wang Ye Intercepts

"Indeed, why offend the Alliance Hierarch over a mere girl?"

"Exactly, there are plenty of such characters in the Blackwater Secret Realm. If your head hasn’t been kicked by a donkey, you should make the right choice."

The bearers on both sides joined in to advise.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye turned around and glanced at these men, and an overwhelming pressure engulfed the world around them.

Even the birds flying ten kilometers away felt the terrifying pressure.

These sparrows, originally perched on branches and hidden within green leaves, turned their heads to preen their beautiful feathers with their beaks.

Under the powerful pressure, these sparrows could no longer turn back their heads.

At the same time, the bearers were trembling all over with fear from the terrifying pressure, which directly forced them to kneel on the ground.

Even Xiao Yuan, who was in the Heavenly God Realm, was in a semi-kneeling position at the moment. He wanted to draw the long sword in his hand but couldn’t.

"Such terrifying pressure!"

"Who exactly is this person?"

The bearers’ eyes showed alarm.

In their hearts, they thought offending this person might mean losing their lives here.

Beads of fine sweat were already appearing on Xiao Yuan’s face. He felt like a mosquito trapped in a giant spider web.

In an instant, the cold sweat from his back soaked his clothes.

"Your power may be strong, but it’s not enough to be the Alliance Hierarch’s opponent. Offending Qin Tianba will result in countless experts hunting you down tirelessly."

Even in a predicament, Xiao Yuan did not forget to threaten.

When Wang Ye heard this, he opened his hands and then clapped lightly, instantly turning Qin Yuan into a bloody mist.

Seeing this, the other bearers collapsed to the ground in fear and pleaded for mercy. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"We were blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai. Please spare us a path to life."

"We were driven by no choice."

"Hero, please forgive us."

One by one, pleas for mercy reached Wang Ye’s ears.

Upon seeing Wang Ye’s strength, Jiang Xue’s eyes revealed a look of admiration. She had witnessed Xiao Yuan’s power.

Able to take a human head among thousands.

Jiang Han’s mysterious background naturally meant many experts protected her; the fact that Qin Yuan could easily snatch her amidst so many experts showed his strength.

Who exactly is this person?

Jiang Han was full of curiosity about Wang Ye.

Wang Ye glanced at the bearers and waved his hand.

"You may leave."

Upon hearing Wang Ye, the multitude of bearers quickly knelt and dared not leave.

They knew very well that having botched the task Qin Tianba had given them, they couldn’t escape his grasp even if they tried.

"Hero, may we follow you?"

"In this Blackwater Secret Realm, no one dares offend Qin Tianba. His forces are everywhere. Perhaps following you might give us a chance to live."

"Hero, please let us stay by your side; whatever you ask us to do, we’ll do."

The bearers earnestly knocked their heads in plea, their expressions sincere.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye thought, ’Collecting streams can form a mighty river; though these people lack strong power, they still have some usefulness.’

"Alright, from now on, follow me to Tianyong Mountain."

The crowd’s eyes flashed with delight upon hearing this. Recently, Tianyong Mountain’s fame had grown immensely.

Rumor had it that Tianyong Mountain’s Sect Master had defeated the Magic Emperor Tianyin.

Even the Devil Sect willingly submitted to Tianyong Mountain. Could it be that this person before them was Tianyong Mountain’s Sect Master?

In the Blackwater Secret Realm, only Wang Ye, who had rapidly risen in recent years, might rival Qin Tianba.

"Thank you, hero, for taking us in!"

The bearers gratefully knocked their heads with happiness.

Wang Ye then got on the palanquin, and Jiang Xue also joined him.

The bearers understood Wang Ye’s intention and quickly lifted the palanquin, heading swiftly toward Tianyong Mountain.

Sitting in the palanquin, Wang Ye nodded calmly. He had to admit, these bearers were quite skilled at carrying palanquins.

Sitting inside felt almost like standing on flat ground, with no hint of a bump.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xue was dressed in some red garb, shyly seated inside the palanquin, tightly pinching her fingers, unsure of what to say to Wang Ye.

Once, she was a woman many men dreamed of.

Thus, she naturally understood men’s intentions clearly.

Yet, for some reason, she couldn’t see through the man beside her, nor dare try to guess what kind of man he was.

She felt, in some mysterious way, that the man beside her would achieve extraordinary results in the future.

The bearers’ speed was swift, matching that of flying birds, yet compared to Wang Ye’s pace, it was far too slow.

Wang Ye roughly estimated that at this speed, reaching Tianyong Mountain might take another day.

Taking advantage of the gap, Wang Ye started planning what to do next.

Every year on April 3rd is the grave-sweeping festival, and as a generation’s Sect Master, paying respects to the previous Sect Masters by burning incense and sweeping their tombs was necessary.

Even though the previous Sect Masters hadn’t made Tianyong Mountain prosperous, they still contributed to it and deserved respect. Tomb-sweeping is essential.

Then, prepare to secure the Alliance Hierarch position within the Blackwater Secret Realm.

To be an Alliance Hierarch requires not only strength but social skills; many must promote you.

Simultaneously, naturally, any obstacles along the way must be cleared away.

All cultivators in the Blackwater Secret Realm hope to be the Alliance Hierarch, given the benefits associated with the position: money, beauty, Spirit Jade, cultivation techniques.

Qin Tianba certainly won’t easily relinquish his prior position; to secure the Alliance Hierarch seat, he will surely do much to eliminate dissent relentlessly.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye’s eyebrows slightly furrowed; there were many things to do in the future.

Just like this, as he planned, the sky soon darkened.

Dotting stars appeared across the sky.

Wang Ye lifted the veil of the red palanquin and looked out the window. The day had already ended.

He looked back again at Jiang Xue beside him, knowing that this female cultivator’s skills weren’t high enough for her not to eat or drink, nor to expel body waste through other methods.

Thus, he addressed the bearers.

"Find a place to rest for the night, and set off tomorrow."

Although these bearers had high skills and astonishing stamina, they were ultimately still mortal bodies and became tired after a day’s journey.

Upon hearing Wang Ye’s words, they quickly responded.

"Yes!"

Soon, the red palanquin stopped outside an inn.

Wang Ye had just stepped out of the cart when a woman wearing a red dress, holding a handkerchief, and smiling brightly came out.

She greeted Wang Ye with a sweet smile.

"May I ask if this guest wants lodging or a meal?"
