Path to Heaven Chapter 160-161

Chapter 160: He is still a Virgin

Wei Suo scratched his head with conflicting emotions. Though he wished to see Nangong Yuqing today, he hoped she wouldn't be with Li Honglin.

Han Weiwei pursed her lips, feeling that after standing for half a day with this dim-witted Wei Suo, his face constantly wrote the words 'stupid young fellow'.

If he wasn't her brother and because she played a part in fouling his relationship with Nangong Yuqing, Han Weiwei would've definitely scribbled the word 'idiot' on the ground; before asking if he recognized that word. Then she would perk her chest up and distance herself from this person as far as possible.

Nevertheless, this idiot had clearly reached the peak of idiocy. Now, the auction had clearly concluded with a streaming outflow of cultivators.

"Your sister!" Not knowing what was causing her bad mood, but knowing she was in a terrible mood, Han Weiwei finally sighted a white artifact robed female cultivator strolling out.

Amidst the flocks of cultivators, this white artifact robed cultivator remained extremely eye-grabbing. Wasn't this Nangong Yuqing whom Wei Suo had been searching for a good long while?

Walking right beside her, was indeed the young master of the Golden Eagle Palace, Li Honglin. That brat was dressed in a brand new red artifact robe and appeared arrogant, not putting a single person in his eyes. Everytime she looked, she felt dissatisfied. If she was Wei Suo, she would've left immediately after berating that adulterous couple. Clearly, someone who could take a liking to such a jerk wouldn't be anything good.

Yet to her dismay, Wei Suo suddenly shouted out, "Nangong Yuqing!" Then, he strolled towards her with incomparable excitement.

After taking several stamps of gloominess, Han Weiwei reluctantly pushed her waist and followed.

Wei Suo's incredibly elated shout immediately attracted the consecutive attention of surrounding cultivators. Upon hearing someone calling out her own name, Nangong Yuqing clearly was startled. Instead, Li Honglin immediately revealed a nasty and conceited sneer.

"I was thinking who it was. So it's actually you." Observing Wei Suo approaching towards him and Nangong Yuqing, Li Honglin snobbishly scoffed.

"Nangong Yuqing. Can I speak to you alone?" Wei Suo displayed a sincere attitude, that even Han Weiwei felt rather cringy.

"You impolite little brat." Seeing that Wei Suo completely ignored himself, Li Honglin's face changed. Instead, it was another cultivator behind him who scolded, "Didn't you hear my young master talking to you?"

"Eh?" Only then did Wei Suo realized there was a middle aged cultivator in a cyan loose artifact robe, following Li Honglin. That cultivator had a flat and nasty face. Seeing this face, Wei Suo immediately remembered seeing him at Spirit Peak City's auction before. During then, he seemed to be a Heavenly Circuit Stage level 1 cultivator. After sweeping with his Aura Determining Technique, Wei Suo discovered this cultivator was now at the Heavenly Circuit Stage level 2.

Nevertheless, Wei Suo had never placed the Golden Eagle Palace in his eyes before. Right now, he was already a Heavenly Circuit Stage level 3 cultivator, obviously he wouldn't care about this middle aged cultivator as well. Hence, his face instantly revealed a queer expression. "Ah? Young master? Isn't he your young master and not mine, what does it have to do with me. If you like to chatter, then chat with your young master yourself. Stop hindering my conservation with a friend."

"Are you courting death?" That flat faced cultivator cast a murderous glare before trudging forward with a smirk.

"Wei Suo, whatever you need to say, you can just tell me right here." At this moment, Nangong Yuqing suddenly voiced out.

"You've finally broken through to Heavenly Circuit Stage level 1." Wei Suo gazed at Nangong Yuqing with a complicated expression. "I don't have much, but I just wanted to explain….."

"There is nothing you need to explain to me, besides there is nothing going on between us." A flash flickered in Nangong Yuqing's eyes as she interrupted Wei Suo. "If you are merely raising the past, then stop troubling yourself."

"But……"

"I have other matters to attend to, you should return to Spirit Peak City." Before Wei Suo could say anything else, Nangong Yuqing directly cut him off. After taking a glance at Wei Suo and then back at Li Honglin, Nangong Yuqing marched off ahead.

With unparalleled conceitedness, Li Honglin pursued her. While passing by Wei Suo, he even sneered with an implicit menace towards Wei Suo, to which that flat faced cultivator chuckled with gloomy coldness.

"Nangong Yuqing, what the hell is happening with you? I've been searching for you for days, whatever the case, you should clarify things." Watching Nangong Yuqing's departing back view, even Han Weiwei wanted to pull Wei Suo away. Instead, Wei Suo suddenly called out.

Nangong Yuqing's figure trembled faintly but didn't halt.

"Nangong Yuqing, I know you still care for me, even as a friend. Otherwise, you wouldn't still be hanging that Transmission Jade Talisman at your wrist."

This time, Han Weiwei was slightly stunned. She could indeed notice a fish-shaped Transmission Jade Talisman suspended beneath Nangong Yuqing's left hand. Finally, Nangong Yuqing's figure halted.

Li Honglin halted as well and fixated his gaze onto that Transmission Jade Talisman on Nangong Yuqing's wrist.

Nangong Yuqing then spun 'round and observed Wei Suo. Then, she slowly removed that Transmission Jade Talisman and handed it over to Wei Suo. "I only felt this Transmission Jade Talisman was a pretty pendant. But if you had other thoughts, then you can have it back."

Hearing Nangong Yuqing's words, Li Honglin's face became additionally conceited.

At this moment, the entire plaza was in turmoil and chaos, because unbeknownst when and where, Xin Youlan's massive barbaric beast suddenly bored out and arched towards the plaza.

After passing the Transmission Jade Talisman to Wei Suo, Nangong Yuqing turned to leave.

Instead, Wei Suo couldn’t be bothered with his surroundings, but earnestly stared at Nangong Yuqing and offered a sentence that caused Han Weiwei's vision to turn dark. A sentence that branded him as an idiot. "Alright, Nangong Yuqing. Then I shall return to Spirit Peak City first, but where should we meet next time?"

"Are you a moron?" The haughty Li Honglin could no longer tolerate and turned around, glaring viciously at Wei Suo. "Giving face to Nangong Yuqing, I have tolerated you many times. If you still dare to pester Nangong Yuqing, I will surely make you regret the day you were born."

After releasing that statement, Li Honglin followed up disdainfully. "You should take a piss and use it as a mirror, are you worthy of her?" Speaking, Li Honglin even tugged the hand of a passing cultivator and asked, "This brother, take a look, do you think he is worthy of her?"

The passerby cultivator actually proceeded to scan Wei Suo earnestly. Then he glanced at Nangong Yuqing and shook his head, before sincerely answering, "Not worthy."

"Heard that, no?" Li Honglin then burst into hysterical laughter.

"Wei Suo, you idiot, if you don't leave now, our brotherhood ends here!" Han Weiwei was so infuriated her face had turned white, and subconsciously chided Wei Suo. Instead, Wei Suo quickly nodded to Li Honglin. "But he also frequents Willow Back Alley, do you know where is Willow Back Alley? That sort of place in Spirit Peak City. Moreover, after finding women there, he doesn't even pay up spiritual stones. What a wastrel."

"What, it isn't much visiting those places frequently. But to renege on payment after toying with a woman, that is too disgusting. Then, you are much better." That passerby cultivator immediately added.

"What rubbish, when did I not pay up spiritual stones when going to that place!"

"OH!" Wei Suo revealed an enlightened look as he declared to Nangong Yuqing, "It must be a misunderstanding, it seems that he does pay his spiritual stones."

"YOU!" Li Honglin's complexion instantly turned ashen.

"Let's go, you don't have to say anything." Seeing that Li Honglin was about to implode, Nangong Yuqing voiced up.

Watching Nangong Yuqing chipping in, even Han Weiwei could no longer contain herself as she furiously scolded, "Nangong Yuqing, I will help him say the words he hasn't finished! He has asked me to search for you for months, just so he can give you an explanation. That 700 spiritual stones I talked about then was just a misunderstanding! He is still a virgin! Also, he is normally such a petty individual, but is willing to spend so much spiritual stones just to buy a Rainbow Stone for you. There, Wei Suo, I've helped you finish up your sentence."

After her furious reply, Han Weiwei then dragged Wei Suo's sleeves, attempting to pull this pig headed brainless fool away.

"Wakao!" Wei Suo nearly fainted as his vision turned dark.

He is still a virgin!

That shout had echoed through the entire plaza, and when did he even talk about gifting the Rainbow Stone to Nangong Yuqing. Moreover, that wasn't an object of low value which could cause many others to cast their attention towards him. But this lass actually just shouted it out like that.

After hearing Han Weiwei's speech, a faint indistinct blush appeared on Nangong Yuqing's face.

"Woahhh!!" Hearing a beauty shouting out someone was still a virgin, the gaze of many cultivators in this plaza all shuttled towards here.

At present to Wei Suo's obliviousness, that suggestively dressed elite disciple of the Spirit Beast Palace, Xin Youlan, also surveyed Wei Suo with a beautiful false smile; while still riding her barbaric beast.

"Little brat, if you don't wish to die, then scram at once! Unless you don't wish to leave the city." Seeing that Wei Suo had caused such a huge commotion, and was still pestering, that flat faced cultivator beside Li Honglin could no longer stand it. He lashed out with incomparable austerity.

"If you don't wish to die, then roll as far as you can from me." Wei Suo instead refuted him.

After his words were released, Nangong Yuqing shivered slightly.

"Little brat, you are truly arrogant. Do you dare to fight me outside the city?!" That flat faced cultivator was so enraged his nose slanted a little.

"If you really wish to die, I can fulfill your wish." Wei Suo smirked coldly. He truly also couldn't stand this Heavenly Circuit Stage level 2 cultivator acting all tyrannical in front of him.

"Wei Suo! Stop acting so willfully!" At this moment, Nangong Yuqing couldn't refrain herself from blurting out.

"Relax, for a cultivator with a shaven off face, I can handle him."

"Very well! Good!" That flat faced cultivator smiled in his fury and turned around. "Since you say so, follow me out of the city!"

"Wei Suo." This time, Nangong Yuqing could only smile bleakly as she glared hatefully at Wei Suo. On the contrary, her voice turned gentler as she offered, "Fine, I'll go with you. Stop causing a scene."

Chapter 161: Ironblood Temple

"What the heck is going on?" Both Han Weiwei and the surrounding cultivators were confused.

"Nangong Yuqing, what do you mean?" Li Honglin also couldn't react properly and was utterly stupefied.

"What else could she mean, what an obvious thing." The passerby cultivator from earlier sympathetically patted Li Honglin's shoulder. "Clearly, she is choosing him over you."

"What!" Li Honglin's face became additionally ashen. "Nangong Yuqing, are you truly going to follow this little brat?"

"I'm sorry, there has been some misunderstandings between us earlier on." Nangong Yuqing replied apologetically. "I have issues to discuss with him. The misgivings he has shown towards you because of me, with your disposition, you wouldn't take it to heart, right?"

"Ah hahahah!" Watching Nangong Yuqing strolling towards him, Wei Suo was bursting with elation.

Under the watchful gaze of the audience, this was a complete disgrace for him. Moreover, Nangong Yuqing's words attempted to place a restraining 'character' hat over himself. Even if Li Honglin wanted to erupt, he couldn't do so.

Indeed, Li Honglin's face turned from ashen to red as he remained speechless momentarily.

"Nangong Yuqing, what's the matter with you?" Even Han Weiwei glared at the incoming Nangong Yuqing with a disapproving tone. She just treated Wei Suo with ice and snow, advising him to mind his own business, but now, she had abruptly bloomed like an autumn flower. The shine of the moonlight could be seen from her. This was truly an excessively outrageous twist.

"Nangong Yuqing, what's the matter with you. Are you afraid I can't beat that fellow?" Even Wei Suo asked the approaching Nangong Yuqing.

"It's good that you know. Obviously knowing he is stronger, but still wanting to fight." Nangong Yuqing gently rebuked. "You brat, you just had to cause a ruckus at this time. You have truly ruined things, I'll tell you more later."

"My clan's young master is magnanimous and forgiving, but I cannot tolerate one's arrogance and despotism." Nangong Yuqing's words caused Han Weiwei to be slightly baffled. But at this moment, that flat faced cultivator instead scoffed. "Besides, this one wouldn't be like some others who treat words like fart. This one's words is worth nine sacred tripods. Since someone has challenged me, if I don't teach him a good lesson today, he can forget about leaving Seven Stars City."

"Not letting one leave Seven Stars City. What a brazen tone." At this instant, an indifferent voice wafted in. "Why, do you hold jurisdiction over Seven Stars City?"

The flat faced cultivator became enraged, as he turned ferociously with a murderous glare.

A golden robed young cultivator was presently sauntering over with a smile that didn't appear to be a smile. Along the way, other cultivators beamed with unsurpassed horror as they avoided his gaze.

Forged with an unknown material, the youth's golden artifact robe managed a rich golden wealthy aura. Even his cuffs and collars were adorned with green talismanic lines, appearing utterly out of the ordinary. This youthly cultivator had sharp brows and a starry gaze, looking romantic and elegant. From his style, one could fathom he was a younger generation from a major aristocratic clan.

"It's the young master of East Victory, Dong Qingyi!"

"That Dong Qingyi who wasted so many spiritual stones on two map portions?"

"……"

Hearing the whispers emitting out from the crowd of cultivators, his status was discreetly revealed.

Realizing that person's status, that flat faced cultivator instantly turned sluggish; brimming with an expression of disbelief.

"Within Seven Stars City, even the Star Convening Sect only holds the power to banish cultivators from here. If we talk about not letting anyone leave, nobody has that authority." In the moment of that flat faced cultivator's speechlessness, Dong Qingyi then advised him.

That flat faced cultivator's face changed drastically. "This one has indeed misspoken, but…."

"I haven't concluded my speech." Dong Qingyi stared at this flat faced cultivator and offered no sentiments as he interrupted him.

Wei Suo became slightly dazed. Dong Qingyi is like a dog who smells shit from afar, why is he involving himself in charity now and help me? Could it be that a second generation young master is unwilling to watch another second generation young master operating in his own turf? A dog biting another dog, isn't that just meaningful? Many of such thoughts shuttled through his joyous brain. Instead, Dong Qingyi heftily snorted. "Even though nobody has the rights to restrict a cultivator from leaving Seven Stars City, I detest individuals who aren't a man of their own words the most!"

In response to Dong Qingyi's words, Nangong Yuqing's face sank drastically. "Your sister!" Even Wei Suo rolled his eyes. How is he conducting charity, he is obviously fuelling oil to the situation.

As for that flat faced cultivator, his originally ugly expression instantly transformed into delight. "I leave this matter to Young Master Dong to decide!"

"This brother, I did personally witness and hear you challenging another." Dong Qingyi then gazed sheepishly at Wei Suo. "You won't renege on your words, right?"

Nangong Yuqing inhaled deeply and was about to speak up, instead, Wei Suo emotionlessly replied, "Duelling him is fine but, because he is someone from the Golden Eagle Palace and I'm just a loose cultivator, if I accidentally injure him and the Golden Eagle palace seeks for requital…this is no longer about being a man of my words."

"What? Our grand young master of East Victory is actually so free to concern yourself with such matters?" At this moment, a lackadaisical voice transmitted over. The ground rumbled, as that suggestively dressed Xin Youlan rode her upper-tier level 5 Ripplebull over.

"It's actually her!" Hearing that voice, both Wei Suo and Han Weiwei became stunned. She was obviously the same female cultivator who contended against Dong Qingyi back in the auction.

"Indeed. It has been a long time since I've seen another forming a duelling pact in front of the crowd. I naturally have interests in such matters. Since there are so many of us today, I hope these two brothers wouldn't disappoint our interest." Dong Qingyi swept a glance at Wei Suo.

"How do you think you can deal with him?" Xin Youlan released a noncommittal smile as she asked Wei Suo. "If you have the confidence, I can vouch for you."

Wei Suo replied, "Vouch for me, how so? If there's ever a day I get ambush by the Golden Eagle Palace and am fed to demonic beasts, without even my body intact, are you going to demand from them for another me?"

Hearing Wei Suo's intriguing words, Xin Youlan chuckled. "Don't talk about the Golden Eagle Palace, even Heaven's First Sect wouldn't dare to plot against an inner sect disciple of the Spirit Beast Palace. Our Spirit Beast Palace is famous for shielding our disciples. Once we uncover such a case, compensating us a single disciple isn't enough but minimally a hundred! Moreover, if an inner sect disciple exhibits outstanding talent and prospects, our demands may even upgrade; requesting for the opposing party to hand over an elder or young master as compensation."

Wei Suo was dazed. "Inner sect disciple of the Spirit Beast Palace?"

Xin Youlan answered, "That's correct. If you want me to vouch for you, I will accept you as an inner sect disciple of the Spirit Beast Palace."

"No way? Inner sect disciple of the Spirit Beast Palace?"

"Does Xin Youlan even possess the authority to accept an inner sect disciple?"

"The Spirit Beast Palace truly conducts their affairs peculiarly. As a direct disciple of Spirit Beast Palace's Palace Lord, she should have that authority. Otherwise, she wouldn't carelessly mention it."

"This guy has superb luck. Spirit Beast Palace is really famous for shielding disciples. If he is really accepted as an inner sect disciple, that is akin to another protective shield! Not many would dare to provoke him, Golden Eagle Palace definitely can't. I remember a year ago, a loose cultivator killed an inner sect disciple of the Spirit Beast Palace; apart from his whole family being annihilated, even his distant relatives and the pigs of his house weren't spared. Moreover, even all of his growing spirit medicines were uprooted. It was truly a case of cutting weeds and eliminating all bloodline roots."

"……spirit medicines are useful, obviously they would uproot them. What has that got to do with eliminating all bloodline roots?"

An uproar erupted amongst the cultivators within a split second.

"And I can assure you, at anytime, you can refuse being an inner sect disciple of the Spirit Beast Palace, without receiving the administration of our Spirit Beast Palace." Xin Youlan then added. "This is the vouch I have for you. Your daily cultivation will not receive any restrictions."

After a brief pause, Xin Youlan glanced towards Dong Qingyi and laughed. "Dong Qingyi, I hear your clan's Ironblood Temple is pretty impressive and can match our Thousand Longevity City's Battlebeast Valley. If we let them duel there, wouldn't it bring more popularity to your Ironblood Temple?"

"That would naturally be splendid." Hearing Xin Youlan suggesting the Ironblood Temple, the originally calm pretentious prick, Dong Qingyi, had his expression turned slightly unhappy.

"What is Ironblood Temple?" Wei Suo couldn't help lightly asking the nearby Han Weiwei and Nangong Yuqing.

"Ironblood Temple is a special place for cultivation duels in Seven Stars City. Dozens of cultivators battle each other there daily. Some fight over large disputes here, while some voluntarily sign up themselves, and others were employed to fight; because the eventual victor would receive a fixed amount of spiritual stones reward. Moreover, cultivators that duel can wager against each other, where the winner would receive spiritual stones; although a tenth of it must be used as taxes. The Ironblood Temple was built by East Victory, and I heard it was mainly Dong Qingyi's idea. Everyday, East Victory would receive a steady income of spiritual stones. However, this Ironblood Temple was actually modelled after Thousand Longevity City's Battlebeast Valley, which was Xin Youlan's main idea. Hence, because of this matter, both individuals constantly vied against each other in the dark." Nangong Yuqing gently explained to Wei Suo.

"So it's just a gambling den, but with the cultivator's own body." Wei Suo finally understood. Even he held great interest towards such a place. Besides, being able to personally witness cultivators battling against each other while earning profit, using one's butt to think would even know such a business would be flourishing. No wonder Xin Youlan and Dong Qingyi were at loggerheads with each other. This was a clan thinking of a magnificent idea for profiting, but was instantly copied by another clan.

"It seems that you are fond of this cultivator from the Golden Eagle Palace. However, I am fond of this person." Xin Youlan then swept a glance through Wei Suo, that flat faced cultivator and Li Honglin. She then suggested to Dong Qingyi, "Since that's the case, why don't we inject some flavor into it to spur everyone's interest."

"Flavour?" Dong Qingyi's lips curled into a fake cold smile. "Anything you desire, I will naturally comply."

"70,000 spiritual stones." Xin Youlan sheepishly bidded. "I will lay out 70,000 spiritual stones as my good will. If he loses, this 70,000 spiritual stones will be yours."

"You wanna play it big, then of course we should go bigger." Dong Qingyi then glanced at Han Weiwei. "If I haven't heard wrongly, that Rainbow Stone was procured by this person. I will fork out 100,000 spiritual stones in addition to a set of Spiritmist Formation Flags for your 70,000 spiritual stones at that Rainbow Stone. How about that?"

"Spiritmist Formation Flags? Fine!" Xin Youlan's brows hopped fiercely as she immediately acceded. The Spiritmist Formation Flags was an artifact that could unleash a formation of 10 li radius, where the place would be engulfed with non-dispersing spirit mist. Even powerful astral winds wouldn't be able to disperse that spirit mist. Although the formation had to be set up in a distinct location and its duration of set up was long, it would be incredibly useful for establishing a cave abode in the wilderness. It was an excellent cave abode protection array, and its value surpassed 50,000 spiritual stones.

No, no way." At this moment, Wei Suo ferociously shook his head.

"Why not?" Even Xin Youlan flashed a cold glint in her eyes.

"This wager is too puny. Unless you guys are willing to chip in that Soulguard Ancient Talisman and those two map portions as well, then forget about it." What she didn't expect was that Wei Suo didn't refute the battle but instead demanded more. "Apart from my own Rainbow Stone, I will add another 50,000 spiritual stones. If I win, those two map portions will be mine. As for the others, we will split in half; what do you think?"

"Excellent! So, Dong Qingyi, a Soulguard Ancient Talisman and another 50,000 spiritual stones, it should be sufficient to wage for your two portions of map, no?" Xin Youlan wasn't furious but instead delighted as she asked Dong Qingyi.

"Fine! Very good!" A killing intent surged in Dong Qingyi's heart, but on the surface, he merely nodded.
