Chapter 789 - The Training Went WellChapter 789: The Training Went Well
Even though the person managing Hundred Herbs Building was Yue Ling, anyone with a little keen eyesight could tell that he had someone behind him. It was just that nobody in Xi Ling City had ever seen that person, Jiang Yucheng included.
The man in black paid no attention to Jiang Yucheng’s words. With a slight movement of his fingers, a gentle breeze brushed by, making the Dancing Lotus sway in the wind. An invisible barrier was instantly formed around the flower.
Xiahou Rong wanted to get closer, but the power the barrier exuded was so strong that it left him gasping for air.
Jiang Yucheng gritted his teeth. Blood filled his mouth, chest cavity, and his abdomen while his vision kept turning black. He hadn’t fully recovered from his previous injuries, so his condition worsened when he sustained the new injuries.
Jiang Yucheng’s words took his companions by surprise.

Jiang Yucheng naturally didn’t want to lose his life, but the Dancing Lotus was too important for him to give up on it. He needed it to rouse the Emperor from his unconscious state, and there was no telling how long he would have to wait for the next Dancing Lotus to appear if he missed this one. He shook his head. “His Majesty’s condition is more important. Please help me—”
Just then, the ice on the lake began forming even more quickly.
He then raised his head and looked in their direction, a black ball appearing in his palm as he spread his hand open. The ball grew with the wind and became a gigantic net in the blink of an eye.
“Retreat!” Jian Shuye quickly moved backward without the slightest hesitation.
Alas, their speed was no match for the black net, which had them trapped in no time. The net condensed to a ball again before quickly flying backward.
Everyone’s vision was instantly blocked as darkness descended on them.
…
After a long time, the darkness before Jiang Yucheng and his companions finally faded, along with the restrictive force on them. Everyone looked around their surroundings, only to realize with a start that they had been expelled from Dahuang Swamp.
Xiahou Rong exhaled in relief. “That’s a relief…”
While others thought that the black-clothed man had probably decided to spare their lives, Jiang Yucheng definitely didn’t share their sentiment. All he felt was discontent, indignation, and resentment. Being the proud man that he was, he was reluctant to lose to people in all sorts of aspects, so he naturally felt terrible knowing how easily he had been defeated by his opponent.
Song Luan hesitantly asked, “W-what should we do now? You have to get treatment as soon as possible, Eldest Young Master…”
“Did you say that man is from Hundred Herbs Building?” asked Weichi Song out of the blue.

…
After sending Jiang Yucheng and the others away, the black-clothed man walked forward and came to a stop in front of the Dancing Lotus. As he gazed down at it, the ice in his aloof-looking eyes melted a little to reveal slight ripples of emotion in them.
“It’s only been a while since I’ve last been here, and yet you’re being bothered by that thing?” There was a hint of laughter in his deep voice.
He lightly waved his arm as he spoke, and a crack was instantly formed on the ice surface.
The Dancing Lotus gently swayed as streams of light shone from the stalk. Upon a closer look, one would discover a silk thread—that was thinner than a hair—wrapped around the Dancing Lotus’s stalk.
With a hook of the man’s finger, the thread snapped and flew to his palm in a scattered mess. One could faintly see that a greenish thing was clinging onto the thread.
His palm lit up with golden fire all of a sudden, burning that ball of thread away. With a lazy voice, he said, “Never mind that you bullied my wife, but you even dared to play cheat. Aren’t you being a little too shameless?”
The ice on the lake slowly cracked into pieces, and the small floating pieces of ice began to melt.
It was all peaceful and quiet at the sparkling Mirror Lake when an earth-shattering roar disrupted this serenity out of the blue.
