HSSB98: A great harvest

As that palm landed, it was as though strange scenes departing from the ordinary had appeared before Yan Zhaoge’s eyes.

It was as though the qi flow of the heavens and the earth could be seen, all coming together to give their support to Ye Jing.

When the times, the heavens and the earth give power together, the luck of the heavens and the earth do converge.

And with that one palm of his, the qi flow of the heavens and the earth gradually dissipated, turning illusory alongside the surging of the clouds and the rising of the wind.

“When the times, the heavens and the earth give power together, which lucky hero doth not possess freedom?”

Yan Zhaoge let out a carefree laugh as he gently blew towards that ethereal scene.

The winds surged along with the remnant clouds, as that illusory luck of the heavens and the earth was blown away and scattered as easily as simple smoke.

The deep crater before Yan Zhaoge’s eyes was still continuing to collapse. Ye Jing having been turned into dust by that palm of his, only that mottled dark red ring still remained, which fell downwards towards the underground river.

“Disappearing just like this; who knows when it will recover its vitality, seeing the sky and the sun once more, taking the form of a fortuitous encounter for yet another hot-blooded youth, giving it a chance to soar up once again, a golden finger that defies the heavens wherever it points, achieving yet another legend and myth…”

Yan Zhaoge curled the corner of his mouth, “…As if.”

Making a grabbing motion with his palm, he sucked the dark red ring from mid-air into it with the help of his aura-qi.

Stepping into the air, exerting a little bit of strength with his foot, Yan Zhaoge’s figure rose from the bottom of the deep crater, flying outside of it.

Ah Hu came up to meet him, “Young Master.”

Yan Zhaoge nodded, “Collect Yan Xu’s body well, and also his belongings.”

Ah Hu gave a simple and honest laugh, “Hehe, Young Master, you don’t have to tell me that. His belongings-I took them all the moment I could.”

Yan Zhaoge curled his lips, “En, I have always trusted you on that.”

Ah Hu said, “Young Master, I’ve glanced through, and there really are quite a few good things inside!”

“What a pity that most of them, like that mid-grade spirit artifact of his, are damaged; that must have been caused by that attack of Elder Shi’s.”

Yan Zhaoge sighed, “That’s only to be expected; otherwise, we also wouldn’t have been able to take care of him that easily.”

“However, at the very least, there should still be some rewards,” Yan Zhaoge perked himself up.

As a Principal Elder of a territory, Yan Xu’s private stash was rather abundant.

He would not carry many of these belongings along with him, rather keeping them safe within his own private residences.

The things that he had on him were either something that he had urgent need of recently, or something that could help him increase his current combat ability.

While there was a shortage of artifacts as well as spirit artifacts, as the Principal Elder of Broad Creed Mountain, one of the few Sacred Grounds of this world, the powerful weapons that were suited for someone of Yan Xu’s cultivation would naturally not be lacking.

Besides that mid-grade spirit artifact, the Hidden Clear Sunlight Sword, Yan Xu also had two accompanying low-grade spirit artifacts.

Although neither of them was as powerful as the Hidden Clear Sunlight Sword, they both still had their own subtle uses.

A protective light armour-while unlike Ah Hu’s Black Nightmare Armour, it did not possess dual functions in being able to both attack and defend, it was not inferior in terms of defensive ability.

A green belt-specifically made to coordinate with the Wind Calamity of Broad Creed Mountain’s Wind Fire Calamities, causing martial practitioners to be like tigers given wings when executing the Wind Calamity movement techniques.

These two low-grade spirit artifacts having fallen into Yan Xu’s hands, unleashing their true power under normal circumstances, their use would definitely be extremely great.

A pity that whether it was Yan Xu or them, they were completely not on the same level of power as Shi Tie at all.

Earlier, when Yan Xu had wanted to escape, he had directly activated the power of the green belt to withstand Shi Tie’s blow, whereas the light armour had automatically moved to protect him.

As a result, the two low-grade spirit artifacts had suffered the same fate as their owner and been damaged.

Looking at them now, they were riddled with cracks, from which spiritual qi was leaking out unceasingly. Let alone not being able to use them, they were about to be completely destroyed.

The extent of their damage was even more severe than it was for the Hidden Clear Sunlight Sword.

Especially that light armour; while it had been unable to perform its function when Ah Hu had attacked Yan Xu with the Sun Rain earlier, it had still suffered a portion of the damage from that attack.

A little pained, Ah Hu said, “But it’s a spirit artifact.”

Having followed by Yan Di’s side since young, his vision was far broader than that of others. However, seeing a spirit artifact damaged to this extent, he still felt that it was a pity.

Yan Zhaoge scrutinised the artifacts for a moment, then, not saying a word, rummaged through Yan Xu’s belongings, from which he retrieved a few crystalline rocks in the form of ice.

Ah Hu looked, “Young Master, these seem to be
