Chapter 236 Stealing the Coffin
That evening, Ye Qing'an cultivated alone in the Cloud Dream Realm. Knowing that Ye Qinghao was likely to take action that night, given his love of watching the excitement, Ye Qing'an didn't pay much attention to it.
It was late at night when Ye Qing'an was cultivating when a summoning circle suddenly appeared in front of him.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. What exactly was that snake doing?
Don't you know that she hates being disturbed when she's cultivating?
Although he thought this in his heart, his body obediently stood up and stepped into the summoning circle.
That night, the entire city of Wangjing was still asleep, and the city was very quiet.
This is an attic in a mansion. Ye Qingan walked out of the summoning circle and stood on the roof of the attic.
Just as Ye Qing'an was about to speak, Jiu Xiao turned around, gestured for her to be quiet, and then pointed to a spot not far away.
Ye Qing'an frowned, looked up in the direction Jiu Xiao was pointing, and saw it...
On a distant rooftop, dozens of people were fighting. Someone must have cast a barrier, enveloping everyone within it. Those outside could see them, but couldn't hear a sound.
Using the moonlight from the half-moon in the sky, Ye Qing'an found Yi Moxu and Ye Qinghao among the dozens of people in the barrier.
Perhaps out of fear of being recognized by Ye Qinghao, Yi Moxu did not wear a mask today, but instead wore a night outfit and a face mask.
Yi Moxu was fighting Ye Qinghao. Two beams of light, one red and one blue, were intertwined, neither willing to yield to the other.
Even from this distance, Ye Qing'an could sense that the situation between the two was extremely intense.
"Tell me, between Yi Moxu and Ye Qinghao, who is more capable?"
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "Logically speaking, it should be Yi Moxu, after all, Yi Moxu is at the ninth level of the Fire Liming Technique. At the ninth level of the Fire Liming Technique, one can almost rival a Supreme Being, while Ye Qinghao is just a Saint."
"But... Yi Moxu's combat experience may not be as good as Ye Qinghao's."
Ye Qing'an stared intently at the scene within the barrier, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.
Jiuxiao looked up at Ye Qing'an and asked, "Why are you looking at me so intently?"
Ye Qing'an remained silent for a long while before finally saying, "Last time..."
"When Yi Moxu's Fiery Eyes flared up last time, I wanted to return to the Cloud Dream Realm to get rid of Yi Moxu's entanglement. But I didn't expect that Yi Moxu would actually come back to the Cloud Dream Realm with me. Do you know why?"
Jiuxiao thought for a moment: "At the time, I was also very surprised and didn't know why Yi Moxu would appear. But later, after I learned that Yi Moxu was Eleven's father, I understood?"
"Why?"
"In the Cloud Dream Realm, only those related to you by blood are allowed to enter. You and Yi Moxu have been husband and wife, and your relationship is very intimate. Perhaps that's why the Cloud Dream Realm judged that Yi Moxu is someone very close to you and allowed him to enter?"
Ye Qing'an frowned: "It can be like this?"
I think so.
Seeing that Ye Qing'an had been talking but her gaze had never left Yi Moxu in the distance, and recalling Ye Qing'an's question earlier, Jiu Xiao suddenly realized: "You wouldn't be thinking of..."
Jiuxiao's eyes widened: "If Yimoxu is at a disadvantage, are you planning to rush over and take him to the Cloud Dream Realm?"
"If he is no match for Ye Qinghao and his life is in danger, what's wrong with that?"
Jiu Xiao opened his mouth, and after a long while said, "Even so, you still won't admit that you've fallen for Yi Moxu?"
"No." Ye Qing'an remained firm: "I don't like him. It's just that Ye Qinghao is someone Yi Moxu wants to get rid of, and I also want to get rid of Ye Qinghao. Yi Moxu has mastered the Fire Separation Technique and has many experts under his command. If I can use Yi Moxu to achieve my goals, why not?"
"Go ahead and be stubborn, keep denying it. Let's see how long you can keep up this stubbornness."
Jiu Xiao muttered to himself in a very low voice, not daring to let Ye Qing'an hear him.
After muttering to himself, Jiuxiao looked back at the barrier, paused, and then continued, "Is that Gu Duo in that empty coffin behind it?"
Ye Qing'an also saw the coffin. Presumably to prevent enemies from getting close to the coffin, Ye Qinghao's men protected it at the very back.
"should be."
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes and her fingers twitched slightly.
Seeing Ye Qing'an's expression, Jiu Xiao knew that she, like him, had her own thoughts: "Will that barrier keep out people from the outside?"
"It should just be a simple soundproof barrier, preventing people in the city from hearing any noise, but it can't stop people."
Jiuxiao chuckled: "How about I approach silently, then rush over and snatch that coffin away?"
Ye Qing'an pondered for a moment. It seemed unlikely that Jiu Xiao alone could move the coffin and escape unscathed.
but……
Previously, when he was in Consort Lan's palace, Yi Moxu had seen Jiuxiao's true form.
Upon seeing Jiuxiao, he should be able to react.
As long as Yi Moxu can help Jiuxiao hold off Ye Qinghao's men, there's a chance...
Ye Qing'an slightly bent her fingers. The worst outcome would be that Jiu Xiao failed, and then she could use the summoning array to summon Jiu Xiao in time and return to the Cloud Dreamland.
"can."
Seeing that Ye Qing'an agreed, Jiu Xiao chuckled and began to rub his hands together, saying, "Then I'll go right now, watch me."
"But once I get there, you'd better keep a close eye on me and don't keep staring at Yi Moxu. After all, my life is in your hands."
Ye Qing'an frowned and waved his hand: "Go quickly."
Jiuxiao suddenly reverted to its original form, then quietly shrank, and then silently moved towards the barrier.
Ye Qing'an saw that Jiu Xiao had broken through the barrier, but because everyone inside the barrier was focused on fighting and Jiu Xiao's body was shrunk to a very small size, no one noticed Jiu Xiao's approach.
Jiuxiao entered the barrier, and then his body suddenly grew larger. He opened his blood-red maw, grabbed the coffin, and ran away.
Soon someone discovered Jiuxiao.
Ye Qing'an noticed that many people in the barrier were looking towards Jiu Xiao, and some people quickly realized what was happening and were about to use their spells to chase after him. Countless spells were cast towards Jiu Xiao.
Ye Qing'an's hands were already in a gesture, ready to summon Jiuxiao at any moment.
However, Ye Qing'an also noticed that Yi Moxu had already seen Jiuxiao...
Ye Qing'an only caught a glimpse of a blur. Soon, Yi Moxu appeared at the very back of Ye Qinghao's men, blocking their pursuit...
