Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1598 Mr. Fox's Apprentice

The woman was stunningly beautiful. She held a whisk in her hand and looked like a fairy descended from heaven!

She exuded the aura of a late-stage Venerable, and she was immaculate, pure, and otherworldly!

And so, step by step, she walked towards Ye Qing.

"You've arrived here so quickly! You're truly a person of great perseverance!" the woman said. "Even your mental fortitude is so strong that you didn't trigger any of the later illusions!"

"The next few illusions?" Ye Qing's expression shifted. "What?"

“Emotions!” the woman said. “Emotions trigger illusion arrays. This Dragon Ladder is actually an array. There will be mental pressure along the way. Under mental pressure, negative emotions will be generated, and these negative emotions will become the medium to trigger illusion arrays, trapping people in illusions!”

"You didn't trigger the subsequent illusions, and that mental pressure didn't seem to cause you much trouble!" the woman said. "You do... have some skill!"

Ye Qing was speechless for a moment, then said, "They said that if we climb this Dragon Ladder, we can see Mr. Fox?"

“Of course!” the woman said. “Mr. Fox is also very curious about you and has been waiting for you for a long time. As for the Path of Questions, that fellow is also a great sage. He has already passed through six rooms. Mr. Fox said that if he passes, he can take him as his personal disciple!”

Ye Qing's expression shifted.

That guy from Fusang... he really knows how to keep things hidden!

“Let’s go!” the woman said.

Ye Qing nodded, and then he obediently followed behind the woman. After a short while, he arrived at a grand hall.

The main hall was empty. The woman led Ye Qing to a seat and said, "Wait here for a moment. If that person passes the question-and-answer path, you two will go to see Mr. Fox together!"

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded.

He sat down! Before long, someone brought some fruits that looked full of spiritual energy and placed them in front of Ye Qing.

The woman then walked out of the main hall again!

After the woman left, Ye Qing sat in the main hall. He looked around and silently observed the buildings. The entire building looked magnificent and had definitely cost a lot of money!

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

Just then, a series of footsteps sounded. Ye Qing thought that Fusang had passed the test, so he looked up towards the door!

At this moment, a man and a woman walked in through the doorway. They both looked to be in their twenties or thirties. One of them carried a knife on his back, and the other carried a sword. Both of them exuded the aura of the early stage of the Venerable Realm!

They were looking at Ye Qing with unfriendly expressions.

They walked straight up to Ye Qing, and the man picked up a fruit from the table. He took a bite without any ceremony, and then looked at Ye Qing and said, "Peak Domain Lord?"

Ye Qing frowned slightly but did not answer.

"Don't you recognize me?" he asked again.

"Should I get to know you?" Ye Qing asked.

"Of course you should recognize me. I am Sun Kui, the eldest disciple of Mr. Fox!" the man said calmly. "You passed the Dragon Ascension Ladder?"

"Yes!" Ye Qing replied.

"You cheated!" Sun Kui said calmly, "Even I, a Venerable in the early stage, couldn't pass the Dragon Ascension Ladder. How could you, a Domain Lord, possibly pass it!"

"If you think I cheated, then I cheated!" Ye Qing said.

"How dare you speak to me like that?" Sun Kui's eyes turned slightly cold. Believe it or not, I can crush you as easily as crushing an ant.

Ye Qing raised an eyebrow as he looked at Sun Kui. This guy had come to cause trouble from the very beginning.

He seemed somewhat dissatisfied because he had climbed the dragon staircase.

Seeing him stirring up trouble, Ye Qing smiled and said, "I don't believe you! I've climbed the Dragon Ladder, and Mr. Fox wants to see me. You won't dare touch me!"

"You think too highly of yourself!" Sun Kui said, "The first person to climb the Dragon Ladder can only be me. Everyone else deserves to die!"

As he spoke, he reached out, his true energy flowing, the rhythm of the Great Dao surging, and grabbed at Ye Qing's neck, saying, "You deserve to die too!"

The woman next to him was smiling as she sized up Ye Qing.

However, the next moment, his expression froze.

Suddenly, he saw a figure fly away into the distance like a cannonball!

She subconsciously looked to her side, but Sun Kui, who had been next to her just moments before, had vanished without a trace.

She glanced at Ye Qing and found him sitting there calmly; she hadn't even seen him make a move.

"boom!"

At the same time, a roaring sound came from afar.

"You... what have you done!" the woman exclaimed. "This is the Dragon Palace! How dare you lay a hand on Mr. Fox's personal disciple?"

Ye Qing looked at her and said, "How about I take you to keep him company?"

The woman's expression shifted, and she stared intently at Ye Qing, saying, "You're not at the peak of the Domain Lord realm! What realm are you at exactly?!"

"I'll kill you!" Just then, a figure instantly stormed into the palace. Sun Kui flew back with a wasted expression, her face full of rage. "You actually dared to attack me, I..."

"That was a warning. If you dare lay a hand on me again, I'll chop your head off!" Ye Qing's voice was gentle, but it carried an undeniable killing intent!

"This is the Dragon Palace, you don't have the guts!" Sun Kui sneered.

"Stop!" Just then, the white-haired woman appeared at the doorway and said coldly, "Sun Kui, Yang Yi, what are you doing!"

"Master's wife!"

The two men's expressions changed, and they quickly and respectfully stood aside. Sun Kui said, "I saw someone climb the Dragon Ascension Ladder, so I wanted to come and see who he was and say hello!"

After saying that, he tilted his head and looked at Ye Qing, as if warning Ye Qing not to talk nonsense!

Ye Qing said calmly, "He said the Dragon Ladder could only mean that he was the first to climb it. When I climbed the Dragon Ladder, he was not satisfied and wanted to kill me."
