500: Chapter 370 500: Chapter 370 It was indeed challenging for her, a princess, to imitate the gentleness and crafty demeanor of a woman of lower status.
If the imitation was not done well and became awkward, it would appear more like a performance to others.
“Young General, we haven’t seen each other for several days.
Now that we have encountered each other, let’s have a chat.
I believe that the King does not have such urgent matters that this princess and the Young General can’t spare a few moments to talk,” she said.
Ye Tian felt helpless inside.
This willful princess was blocking him, and he truly could not simply brush her aside with a wave of his hand.
This was the power of the monarchy at play.
There were some things he felt compelled to do against his will.
He disliked this feeling the most; being part of it was extremely frustrating.
“Oh, what would the Princess like to instruct?” he asked.
Seeing Ye Tian stop, Long Feifeng’s face brimmed with satisfaction, and an even bigger smile appeared on her face as she cast a seductive glance at Ye Tian.
Having ventured out here, the princess was followed by her maidservants.
She gestured for them to keep their distance, as even a princess would feel shy about confessing her feelings in front of a man.
The maidservants tactfully withdrew further back.
“Ye Tian, I like you.
Do you know that?
I want to choose you as the Consort Prince, so later in front of my father, you should propose,” she said.
Hearing that a noble princess wanted to choose him as a Consort Prince, Ye Tian’s face did not show the expected delight.
Instead, he felt more helpless and replied with an even colder expression:
“The Princess’s affection is too great for this general to accept.
It would be better for the Princess to choose another.
Let it be…”
At this moment, Ye Tian had yet to realize that there were many people following his flying ship.
Flying in the sky did not restrict people, and with many others traveling back and forth, it could not be said that they were being tracked.
Ye Tian was even more oblivious to the Great Power Holders who had concealed their mana, intending to locate his lair.
Unaware of the imminent danger, Ye Tian was preoccupied with crafting magical treasures.
As he worked on the magical treasures, the bright crystals and golden energy radiating from within the flying ship grew even more potent.
This sort of allure nearly caused some Great Power Holders to disregard their status and consider seizing it for themselves.
However, they felt the presence of more than a dozen others with capabilities similar to theirs, realizing that over a dozen people snatching a magical treasure from a junior would be disgraceful.
They could sense this kind of energy, which could be purchased, requested, or traded.
If so many Great Power Holders attempted to steal it together, it might lead to a fight among themselves.
It was this line of thought that caused them to restrain their impulses, and Ye Tian was not yet in danger.
As the sky began to brighten gradually, Ye Tian completed the addition of flying functionality to the magical treasure.
Looking at the outside sky and checking the flying ship’s position, there was no time to test the magical treasure’s flying capability.
Seeing the exposed golden energy and translucent power, he realized he had been inconsiderate.
Such a magical treasure, so overt in its display of mana, would draw attention from anyone who saw it.
Not underestimating his junior sister’s abilities, he feared that he might not be able to protect her and inadvertently bring her harm.
Ye Tian quickly continued the refinement, concealing all of the magical treasure’s energy.
He put away the magical treasure.
Those outside immediately sensed that the bright golden color of the flying ship had vanished, along with the golden energy.
Looking down from the window, Ye Tian saw tiny houses on the ground below.
He halted the flying ship’s flight, lingering amidst the clouds, now positioned above the streets outside the Immortal Sect.
He observed the street outside the Immortal Sect, which seemed unchanged from two months ago, with the houses still the same.
Yet Ye Tian knew that while the houses might not have changed, the cultivators certainly had.
Previously unaware of anyone trailing him, he now relaxed his guard and noticed a number of Cultivators lingering in the high skies not far from his flying ship.
Although the flying ship was above a busy street, Ye Tian could sense something unusual—too many gazes fixed on his flying ship.
At this moment, Ye Tian faintly sensed the presence of others, more powerful than himself, and not just one, nearby.
He could not help but break out in cold sweat, his face marked by a shiver of horror.
Ye Tian was a cultivator of the Ocean Wheel level, yet he could feel the presence of so many others more powerful than he was.
“How can I attract these people to stay by my side?”
Ye Tian then remembered that he was crafting a Magical Treasure and hadn’t activated the Array; the people following him must know about the grand preparations he was making inside the spacecraft.
Feeling a bit apprehensive now, Ye Tian didn’t consider himself the most capable being.
There are always higher heavens above, and taller mountains beyond.
He understood the principle of not showing off one’s wealth; it was the resources he possessed that attracted the Great Power Holders.
Feeling somewhat relieved, he noted that these people did not attack him while he was crafting the Magical Treasure.
Could it be that they wanted to find out where he would land?
Ye Tian sweated over this guess; if he were to go down to the Immortal Sect like this, he would not only fail to bring benefits to the sect but might also bring disaster upon it.
Ye Tian didn’t believe that the disciples and elders within the Immortal Sect could defeat so many Great Power Holders; if the sect was destroyed over some resources, he would be the sinner.
With this thought, he didn’t rush to see Yan Weiwei but instead spurred the spacecraft forward, not only using the Array but also secretly activating the defenses.
The Great Power Holders, as well as the cultivators following them, noticed the disappearance of the golden energy from the spacecraft and wanted to secretly find out more, to get to know the person aboard.
On the main streets of North Cit Immortal Sect, it was now dawn, the time when people bustled about, ready for breakfast.
Someone had already spotted a bright spot high in the sky and was looking up, preparing to ascend.
Only daring to observe secretly from the ground, they sensed more Capable Beings high above with acute senses.
A dozen Great Power Holders, including two Mahayana from North Cit Immortal Sect, saw the spacecraft stop in front of their sect and were both shocked and delighted.
They believed that the person before them must be a disciple from their sect; previously they hadn’t believed that someone with such excellent resources was a disciple of their sect.
Ever since Jiang Tang, an exceptional Alchemy master, had appeared as their predecessor and Great Power Holder, they felt proud and sought Jiang Tang, wishing to locate the Immortal Qi resources.
This thought slowed down these two Great Power Holders for a moment, losing the opportunity to witness more colorful radiance and Immortal Qi.
Shocked of course, for if this disciple was from their sect and entered without noticing anything, it could potentially lead the sect to invite great calamity.
The two were also on guard against others taking action; if indeed the individual was a disciple of their sect, they had to protect the valuable resources at all costs.
A Great Power Holder began to speak, “North Cit Immortal Sect, you two old fools, do you think just the two of you can safeguard the resources?”
The other dozen, though not from the same sect or clan, many knew each other.
They had all heard of the sect with the highest capacity being and had competed together the previous year.
In their youth, these old fellows were part of the passionate Martial World, challenging more capable beings to establish their reputation.
Having reached a certain level, and now somewhat aged, their mindset had changed, which led to their seclusion.
They had been rivals in their youth; although hundreds or even a thousand years may have passed, the old fellows’ appearances hadn’t changed much.
Their facial features may not have retained the handsomeness of their youth, but their faces hadn’t altered significantly.
“What’s the matter, you want to start a fight?
We’re not afraid of you guys,”
The Great Power Holders from North Cit Immortal Sect were not willing to lose face; moreover, they hadn’t fought in many years and needed to get some practice.
They just hoped that these old fools wouldn’t gang up on them shamelessly.
They hoped the old fellows wouldn’t form an alliance, for that would deprive them of benefits.
While the other Great Power Holders were engaging in a war of words, one of them pondered a question.
“I’ve heard that Jiang Tang from North Cit Immortal Sect isn’t too shabby and has a talent for alchemy?”
Although the dozen Great Power Holders hadn’t met Jiang Tang, many of their younger family members had forged alliances.
The old folks may not acknowledge it, but if one day they met Jiang Tang and demanded resources from him, it would be hard to clear the air of the current hostile relations.
“Jiang Tang has not left our North Cit Immortal Sect; he is currently the nominal Master of the Alchemy Hall,”
Upon hearing someone ask about Jiang Tang, the Great Power Holders of North Cit Immortal Sect remembered that Jiang Tang had connections with many families; it seemed like the younger generations of these old fellows had formed an alliance.
Previously ready to fight one another, the appearance of the name Jiang Tang silenced the old fellows.
