Chapter 1157 1137: Ancient Martial Arts Grandmaster, Ji Yun!
"Master, let me ask you, between me and the Saint of Huaxia, who do you think is more outstanding?"After leaving the hospital, Li Yesheng entered a small forest nearby, dialed his master's number, a renowned figure in the Ancient Martial Realm whose mere stomp could cause tremors—Ji Yun.
As soon as the call connected, he bluntly posed this question.
On the other end, Ji Yun remained silent for a long, long time.
Ji Yun didn't understand why his disciple asked him this question, but he knew that while his disciple was talented, there was no comparison with the Saint of Huaxia. After all, that was a once-in-five-thousand-years saint!
However, he also understood that his disciple had a strong sense of self-esteem and high aspirations, unable to take any blows.
So, to not damage his disciple's self-esteem, he compromised with his conscience and replied with slight embarrassment, "You are quite good, maybe... a bit better than the saint."
"Yes, I'm so outstanding, better than the saint, practically the strongest among all young men in the world!"
Li Yesheng proudly declared, then his tone shifted to one of frustration: "Yet, my 'child bride' doesn't recognize my excellence, after being 'forcefully' slept with by a man inferior to me, she actually thinks that man is superior, and refuses to leave him!"
Ji Yun's face suddenly darkened, "Disciple, are you referring to Dragon Fragrance? What's going on?"
"What else could it be, she ran off with a nobody and slept with that nobody!"
Li Yesheng indignantly cursed, then his tone shifted again to a pleading one: "Master, I'm begging you, could you help me out once? Go to the Capital City to take someone out?"
"Recently, there's a criminal active in the northern district of the Capital City, attacking passersby, someone of at least a Half-step Divine King Level, maybe even stronger. He's causing no small trouble for Dragon Fragrance."
"If you, on behalf of Xiangye Security Group, could eliminate him for Dragon Fragrance, solve the issue she's facing, Dragon Fragrance would definitely look at me differently, realize how capable I am, and turn back to my side!"
Li Yesheng pleaded.
Indeed, when he previously claimed to have a way to solve Dragon Fragrance's troubles, he was banking on Ji Yun, the immensely powerful Ancient Martial Arts expert, to step in and eliminate the criminal, rather than handling it himself!
Last night, in the northern district, he witnessed that criminal in action, heavily injuring Di Qiankun in three moves—a strength beyond imagination. He knew he was no match for that person.
This is also why he was certain Ye Huan couldn't help Dragon Fragrance either. After all, he thought that he could surpass him in level and take Ye Huan down, yet he himself lacked confidence in facing that man. On what grounds could Ye Huan prevail?
When they meet, within three moves, Ye Huan would likely end up like Di Qiankun, severely injured!
Ji Yun, with a stern face, seldom left the mountain or fought, but this time, for the sake of his disciple's future happiness, and the chance to meet his "benefactor," agreed: "I will arrive in the Capital City late tomorrow night, to settle this matter for you. Additionally..."
His eyes turned cold: "Forcibly sleeping with Dragon Fragrance, stealing your love—I won't let that punk off. You'll come with me to demand an explanation!"
With words brimming with murderous intent, the call ended abruptly.
Li Yesheng's eyes wavered slightly; saying Ye Huan forcibly slept with Dragon Fragrance was just a rumor, but it didn't matter, as long as he eliminates that brat and wins back Dragon Fragrance!
He must scatter that brat's ashes!
A sinister smile appeared on his face, confident Ye Huan couldn't defeat that criminal, and after a reckless attempt, he would be severely injured, humiliated, and become a laughingstock!
Dragon Fragrance would be utterly disappointed in Ye Huan!
At this critical moment, he, Li Yesheng, having enlisted Ji Yun's help, would turn the tide, crush the criminal, and Dragon Fragrance would definitely look at him, Li Yesheng, with new-found admiration!
Then he would showcase his terrifying strength by defeating Ye Huan across levels, teach him a harsh lesson, vent his anger, making Dragon Fragrance realize that compared to him, this genius, Ye Huan was nothing but a waste, and willingly stay by his side forever!
Meanwhile, in a wooden cabin deep in the mountains southeast of Huaxia.
Ji Yun, his face full of wrath, began packing, swearing to seek justice for his disciple and Dragon Fragrance.
Once packed, he exhaled a long breath, took out his phone, scrolled through his contacts, and found an old number at the bottom, dialing it with anticipation.
As the call connected, his expression instantly brightened, laughing heartily: "My young friend Ye, how have you been lately?"
"Old Ji? I'm doing well, why the sudden call?"
Receiving Ji Yun's call, Ye Huan was quite surprised.
"Thinking about meeting my great benefactor, it's been a long time, and I'm heading to the Capital City, hoping to catch up and share some good news, haha." Ji Yun laughed heartily.
"Have you ascended to Divine King?" Ye Huan curiously asked.
"Haha, can't hide anything from my benefactor, can I!"
Ji Yun chuckled: "Benefactor, do you have time? Once I get to the Capital City, I'd like to meet up."
Ye Huan smiled: "Anytime."
"Great, I shall visit you soon!"
Ji Yun was overjoyed. Towards Ye Huan, he felt immense gratitude!
Two years ago, trapped at the Half-step Divine King Level with no progress, unwilling to stagnate, he roamed the world.
After years of searching the globe, he still failed to find a breakthrough to Divine King.
Upon returning to Huaxia, his reluctance peaked, leading him to recklessly consume vast amounts of tonics, attempting a forced breakthrough, ending with him in a state of martial deviation, life hanging by a thread!
At a crucial moment, Ye Huan, who had just returned to Huaxia, encountered him on the way back to Jimiwula Village, saving him with the "Acupuncture Technique" known as "Heaven and Earth Soul Return."
Ye Huan also identified his instability due to weak martial foundations, unsteady qi and blood, and blocked meridians, offering guidance and assistance.
One year after resolving these issues, Ji Yun achieved his life's ultimate dream, surpassing Half-step Divine King, becoming a Divine King Level expert!
It's entirely accurate to say Ye Huan was both his savior and mentor!
Without Ye Huan, he would've died due to martial deviation long ago!
Without Ye Huan, his life would've amounted to never reaching Divine King Level!
Ji Yun was immensely grateful to Ye Huan, packing ten invaluable, over-three-thousand-year-old ginseng roots to gift him!
He also intended to bring his esteemed disciple, Li Yesheng, when visiting Ye Huan.
Li Yesheng was talented, but compared to Ye Huan, the gap was too wide.
In terms of surpassing levels, Li Yesheng, in most cases, could defeat someone half a level higher—impressive, but Ye Huan seemed to surpass an entire level, or even more, which was even more astonishing!
Furthermore, Ye Huan was known as the "God of Slaughter" in the Western Dark World and the future hope of Huaxia's Ancient Martial Realm—the Saint of Huaxia, with growth potential immeasurable!
The gap between Li Yesheng and Ye Huan was vast!
Bringing Li Yesheng to meet Ye Huan could broaden Li Yesheng's horizons, allowing him to witness the world beyond himself, realizing there's always someone better.
Despite claiming Li Yesheng was slightly stronger than the Saint to protect his ego, given a chance to meet Ye Huan, Ji Yun would absolutely not miss it.
Of course, before taking Li Yesheng to see Ye Huan, he must first resolve Dragon Fragrance's predicament, then subdue the despicable person who dared force himself on her!
"Dare bully my disciple, rob my disciple's woman; let me see how you manage to stay alive!" Ji Yun, puffing and glaring, cursed, then re-fastened his pack, swept his long sleeves, transforming into a series of afterimages in the air, setting off towards the Capital City.
