Chapter 3762: Try dodging again
“I am Tang Yan,” Tang Yan said darkly.
“And my name is Liu Yan!” the guard retorted. This was the Political Hostage Manor. He was a guard of the Political Hostage Manor, which meant that he was a member of the Imperial Court. Even if he encountered the Young Masters of some minor clans, he would still dare to rebuke them. Who would dare to make a move on a member of the Imperial Court? Were they planning to rebel?
Pa!
He had just finished his words, when the guard was slapped. He turned around, wanting to rebuke him, but when he saw the appearance of that person, he immediately cowered, and said with a charming smile, “Leader.”
The person who had hit him was the leader of the guards, and also the only Foundation Building cultivator. His face was all smiles, and it was as if flowers were about to bloom. He paid no heed to his underling, and merely smiled apologetically at Tang Yan, “Young Lord Marquis, this guy has just joined the army. He’s just a country b.u.mpkin, so he doesn’t have much insight. Please don’t take it to heart.”
What!
The guard couldn’t help but pale in shock. “Little Marquis”? There was only one Little Marquis in the Imperial Capital, and that was the son of the Tang Clan, Tang Yan.
He couldn’t help but tremble in fear. If Tang Yan wanted to target him, he wouldn’t even know that he had died.
Tang Yan’s expression did not change, and merely asked, “I can’t enter?”
“Of course you can, of course,” the leader of the guards hurriedly said with a smile. To say nothing of the Political Hostage Manor, even if it was the Clan Manor, this little marquis would probably dare to barge in.
Tang Yan flicked his sleeves and strode into the Political Hostage Manor.
Only then did the guard heave a sigh of relief, feeling cold sweat on his back.
The Little Marquis’s aura was really frightening, he thought to himself.
However, why had this person suddenly come to the Political Hostage Manor?
…
“Ling Han!”
A shout came from outside the door. Ling Han had just finished cultivating not too long ago. After so many days, he was about to cultivate Heavenly Dao Foundation to Consummate level. The gap between the second Celestial Foundation and the first was not too big, and he would be able to reach Consummate level in about another ten days or so.
Thus, he was in a good mood. When he was a Heavenly Dao Foundation, he was already able to sweep aside all other Ultimate Dao Foundations. Then, after he advanced into Ultimate Dao Foundation, would he be able to match Cauldron Forging Tier?
Even if it was only the weakest Cauldron Forging Tier.
However, when this shout rang out, it greatly affected Ling Han’s good mood.
Without any servants, Ling Han could only go out. He opened the doors, and saw Liu Xunyu, Han Bing and Zhao Xiao were standing outside, all of them looking at him coldly.
“What is it? You’re here to see me so early?” Ling Han asked calmly.
“It hasn’t been easy these past few days, has it?” Liu Xunyu smiled faintly, “Without the service of servants, without cultivation resources, and without ingredients to concoct alchemical pills, this is what a real prisoner is like.”
Ling Han smiled and said, “It’s very quiet, so there’s no need to worry.”
“You’re just pretending!” Han Bing said coldly. “We don’t have that much patience to wait for you either. You only have two choices today. Either you listen to us obediently, or… we’ll add a scene of us beating you up every day on this basis!”
“I know that you’re invincible in the Foundation Building Tier, but in front of three of us Cauldron Forging Tier cultivators, what are you worth?” Zhao Xiao’s expression was also cold.
“To say nothing else, once our Celestial Cauldron appears, even standing is a luxury for you.” Han Bing continued. He released his own Celestial Cauldron, which appeared above his head. Then, it enlarged. Weng, the bronze Celestial Cauldron was ancient and filled with holiness.
The Cauldron Forging Tier was divided into three minor levels-Human Cauldron, Earth Cauldron, and Heaven Cauldron. It was very easy to distinguish. Human Cauldron was a single cauldron, Earth Cauldron was two, and Heaven Cauldron was three.
However, it was said that this wasn’t the limit of the Cauldron Forging Tier. It was just like how an Enlightenment Tier could break through to Mystery Realm Tier after opening at least thirty-six apertures. Cultivating three cauldrons was indeed enough to break through to the Core Formation Tier. However, a Cauldron Forging Tier elite could also cultivate four cauldrons, five cauldrons… or even nine cauldrons.
Since ancient times, those who could form four cauldrons could be called prodigies. Eight cauldrons was a supreme prodigy, and as for nine cauldrons… hoho, there may not even be one in hundreds of thousands of years. This kind of person possessed the potential to become a Saint.
Han Bing had summoned a cauldron, which meant that he was only standing on the first stage of the Cauldron Forging Tier, the Human Cauldron Tier.
Furthermore, his cauldron only had two legs, which meant that he had not cultivated to Consummate level even in Human Cauldron Tier – Consummate level was three legs.
Where had the Celestial Cauldron come from?
That was the foundations of the Celestial Path. Thus, the Celestial Cauldron looked like bronze, silver, or gold. They were all directly related to the foundations of the Celestial Path that had been formed after leaping over the Celestial Gate.
His Celestial Cauldron was bronze. Hehe, this was the weakest Celestial Cauldron.
However, wasn’t it a one-sided suppression for a Cauldron Forging Tier to face against a Foundation Building Tier?
Ling Han stood upright and proud. Not even the corner of his robes fluttered.
Yi?
Liu Xunyu and the others were all surprised. How was this possible? The Celestial Cauldron actually had no effect on a Foundation Building Tier at all?
No matter how weak the Celestial Cauldron was, it was still a Celestial Foundation. In terms of Celestial Path, it was superior to the Foundation Building Tier.
“Something’s off!” Zhao Xiao said, his eyes burning with greed.
He was sure that Ling Han must be hiding an astonis.h.i.+ng secret. Merely that Starlight Screen was enough to make his eyes red with envy, and now added with the fact that Ling Han was unafraid of the Celestial Cauldron’s suppression, it further convinced him that it was very possible that Ling Han had obtained the inheritance of an ancient elite.
“If you don’t listen… I’ll apprehend you directly!” He strode towards Ling Han, wanting to apprehend Ling Han at the first instant and directly search his soul.
This involved the problem of strengthening himself. He naturally cast Liu Xunyu aside, and placed himself first.
Ling Han was solemn. He had not yet advanced into Ultimate Dao Foundation, and was not even qualified to match the weakest Cauldron Forging Tier – even if he had advanced into Ultimate Dao Foundation, whether he could match the Cauldron Forging Tier would only be known after a battle.
Could it be that he would have to use the Heavenly Dao Flames?
Ling Han was slightly depressed. His trump card was really too high-level, being able to burn Venerate Tier elites to death at the drop of a hat. Could it be that there was no trump card that just happened to be enough to deal with Cauldron Forging Tier?
“Humph, what do you want to do?” A cold laugh rang out, bringing with it a baleful chill.
Tang Yan!
When Ling Han saw this, he couldn’t help but smile. Very good, there was no need for him to
reveal his trump card.
“Who do you think you are!” Han Bing rebuked directly.
Liu Xunyu also took a look, and couldn’t help but pale.
Unlike Han Bing and Zhao Xiao, she was a smooth-talker, and had extremely great ambitions.
Thus, she had some understanding of those important heirs of the Azure Dragon Empire, as well as the descendants of the various great clans. Even if she had never met them before, she would definitely have seen their images before. It was not to the extent that she would not recognize them even if they had met.
This was Tang Yan, a top-notch existence among the second-generation young masters of the Majestic Empire. He had been conferred a t.i.tle of n.o.bility at birth, and this kind of prestige was also unique in the Azure Dragon Empire.
“Shut up!” Liu Xunyu hurriedly rebuked, “This is Young Marquis Tang Yan, don’t be
impudent!”
When Han Bing heard this, his heart instantly trembled. He had never seen Tang Yan, but he
must have heard of such a person in the Imperial Capital.
“I’m sorry, Little Marquis.” He hurriedly put on a humble att.i.tude.
Tang Yan strode over, and suddenly raised his hand, delivering a slap at Han Bing.
Instinctively, Han Bing hurriedly turned his head to the side to dodge.
Tang Yan’s palm missed its target, and a baleful expression appeared on his face as he said,
“Try dodging again?”
After saying this, he raised his hand again.
