Chapter 39
Whoosh!
In almost an instant, Ye Qianli had already thrown away the captive, You Ming, who was acting like a ‘dead man’ and ran to the source of that voice. Her eyes burned as she looked at Ye Fengtian who was kneeling towards the north and covered in blood.
Ye Qianli did not care about anything else. Even if Ye Fengtian’s chest was still dripping blood, even if Ye Fengtian’s face was pale and his breathing was slightly weak, she did not care. Her gaze was only attracted by the broken hand in Ye Fengtian’s hand.
It was a large aged hand with a deathly gray color, and it was connected to a small section of the wrist. Every finger was already curled up lifelessly, but that thumb…
On the thumb was a dark green thumb ring with a Sky Wolf—raising its head to howl at the skies—engraved on it! The Sky Wolf was the clan totem of their Ye family in the Northern Territory.
This ring was the identity symbol of every generation’s Northern Territory King…
“Father…”
Ye Fengtian was holding this broken hand and crying his eyes out. After all, he knew everything that Ye Qianli knew. Therefore, he was naturally very clear about what this broken hand meant.
“Where did it come from?” Ye Qianli stared at Ye Fengtian instead. Her voice was extremely calm, calm to the point that it caused the extremely sorrowful Ye Fengtian to become stunned.
“I asked you, where did it come from?” However, Ye Qianli stared at him and asked again.
“Little…” Ye Qianli’s attitude made the deputy general beside Ye Fengtian couldn’t help but want to criticize her. After all, Ye Fengtian did not look good at all right now. Moreover, he wasn’t receiving proper treatment. As his daughter, Ye Qianli did not advise or ask after his injuries, and her attitude was still so rude.
However, Ye Fengtian stopped the deputy general from speaking up for his injustice and replied to Ye Qianli, “It was the Black Armor Army general who threw Xiao Zhengnan here.”
“Where’s Xiao Zhengnan?” Ye Qianli asked again.
“He already died in battle,” Rong Mo replied this time.
Ye Qianli didn’t say anything anymore, but she only remained silent for a while. Then, she suddenly stood up and dragged the captive You Ming over. She asked, “Do you know about this?”
“…” You Ming, who had been pretending to be a ‘dead man’, continued to pretend to be dead. He looked like he would not say anything.
Ye Qianli did not probe further either. She only pulled out the dagger that she had used to dissect the ‘little white mice’ just now… and then stabbed it into You Ming’s abdomen!
“Hiss!” You Ming clearly gasped in pain, but his expression remained unchanged.
However, he was incapable of maintaining a normal expression very soon because Ye Qianli was cutting him open in a vertical direction from his abdominal cavity upwards right then! Fresh red blood spurted out.
“Kill me if you have the guts to!” You Ming’s gaze was cold and bleak. Even though his voice was slightly unclear, it was incomparably icy. “I guarantee that, if you kill me, then your biological grandfather will surely die a more miserable death than me.”
“I’m not going to kill you. I just want to have a good chat with you. If you don’t want to talk, I’ll make you talk willingly.” When Ye Qianli said this, one of her hands had already reached into You Ming’s abdominal cavity and grabbed onto his stomach with slight exertion. “Do you know where I am pinching?”
“What are you trying to do?” You Ming’s pupils had already shrunk slightly at this moment. He stared at the young girl before him, and he had a feeling that things weren’t going to be simple.
“As a talent cultivator, your life force is very strong. Even if you lose a lot of blood, you can still survive for about 15 minutes. In these 15 minutes, I will crush your stomach, then one of your kidneys, then your large intestine, then your small intestine, and then your elixir field.”
“You might think that I am unable to destroy your elixir field with my strength. After all, your elixir field is protected by a layer of energy from Arctic Nether Ice. It is like a natural barrier that can always protect your elixir field,” Ye Qianli said slowly as she squeezed hard with one hand!
Bang!
You Ming’s stomach had undoubtedly been crushed. He was in intense pain! Since his internal organs had been severely damaged, this caused his body to arch into a bow instinctively.
It hurt…
However, other than the pain, what alarmed You Ming the most was that Ye Qianli had actually identified the protective barrier on his elixir field. Furthermore, it seemed like she even had a way to destroy it.
However, how was that possible?!
Even the crown prince of the Vermilion Bird Dynasty, this divine son with the talent of the Vermilion Bird, could not destroy the protective barrier on his elixir field.
Moreover, even if the power of the Vermilion Bird Crown Prince exceeded their expectations, with You Ming’s status as a talented weapon refinement master and an important advisor of the Black Tortoise Dynasty, he should not be killed easily.
“Vermilion Bird Crown Prince, you…” You Ming endured the pain as he thought of these, and his gaze couldn’t help but look towards Crown Prince Rong Mo.
“You are my captive!” However, Ye Qianli crushed one of his kidneys and used that as a declaration of her authority to execute him. She then said calmly, “Let me ask you. Was my grandfather really captured?”
“Really…” You Ming didn’t feel that this was something that couldn’t be said. It was just that he too understood that he was truly afraid at this moment. Otherwise, he would never have spoken.
Xu! However, as soon as You Ming said that, he felt his elixir field heat up. He could feel a raging fire enveloping his elixir field.
“You’re lying! My grandfather wasn’t captured. Where is he?” Ye Qianli stared coldly at You Ming and said icily, “You only have one last chance to answer. If what you say isn’t true, you can forget about keeping your elixir field.”
“You…” You Ming wanted to defend himself.
“Cut the crap! Speak.” However, Ye Qianli didn’t give him a chance at all. Terrifying flames had already leaped out of her eyes, and what she was activating—without holding back at all—was the power of the Nine Heavens Mystical Fire! It was already slowly corroding the protective barrier on You Ming’s elixir field.
The threat of being crippled was even more terrifying than the threat of death! It caused You Ming’s face to grow more and more deathly pale. In the end… When he felt that burning intent about to invade his elixir field, he suddenly roared, “He’s in the Arctic Ice Realm! He’s been captured!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qianli withdrew her hand from You Ming’s abdominal cavity and stuffed a crude healing pill into his mouth. After that, she took out a handkerchief and wiped away the blood on her hand.
“Cough…”
“Cough, cough…” His injuries were too severe! You Ming, who had lost too much blood, started to cough non-stop instead. Blood also flowed out abruptly from his mouth and nose.
“Someone, save him,” Finally, Rong Mo’s voice rang out at this moment. That was when the people from the nearby medical bureau recovered from their shock and rushed forward to save You Ming. However, this person’s injuries… were a little too terrible.
If he wasn’t a talent cultivator who carried the gift of spirit aura to protect his body, he definitely wouldn’t be able to survive this…
However, the problem of whether he could be saved or not was clearly not something that Ye Qianli, this perpetrator, cared about. At this moment, she had already stood up and was about to leave. However, just as she was about to take a step forward, she was stopped by Rong Mo. “If you go to the Arctic Ice Realm, you will miss the chance to enter the Gifted Academy.”
Hearing this, Ye Qianli’s footsteps did not stop though. Yes! She wanted to enter the Gifted Academy; she wanted to see the number-one academy on this continent and to see other talent cultivators. However, she could still go next year, or she could go again in the future… But there was only one grandfather.
“The Gifted Academy only ever gives one enrollment token, whoever it is. If you miss it, you will never be able to enter the school again,” Rong Mo added again. This also meant that if Ye Qianli missed this enrollment, she would never be able to enter the Gifted Academy in this lifetime.
