Martial Peak

Chapter 2955, A Dog Problem

Inside a teahouse, Yang Kai and Zhu Qing sat opposite each other with good-quality fragrant tea steeping on the table. The black puppy was lying on a corner of the tea table, sleeping.

“What happened just now?” Zhu Qing asked in a quiet voice. She still had no understanding of how Yang Kai had come to be injured. Even though it wasn’t a serious injury, it still drew blood. To say it was the Third Imperial Prince who made a move didn’t seem too likely either. She couldn’t be any clearer as to how strong Yang Kai was, so how could a trivial First-Order Emperor injure him? And with just a snap of his fingers at that.

If the Third Imperial Prince really had that ability, then he may not be far off from becoming a Great Emperor.

“There’s something strange about this Human Imperial City.” Yang Kai moved the silk handkerchief from his nose. The bleeding had stopped, but the silk handkerchief had been turned into a mess, so he casually put it away.

Zhu Qing was amazed, “It really was the Third Imperial Prince who injured you?”

“Yes.” Yang Kai nodded.

“How could that be?” Zhu Qing’s expression changed slightly, “He couldn’t be hiding his power, could he?” She was shaken inside. What sort of Master could hide their strength so well that even she could not see through it? If there really was such a person, then would that power not be too terrifying?

“No, no, no.” Yang Kai shook his head, “That guy wasn’t hiding his strength. He really is in the First-Order Emperor Realm.”

“Then how…” Zhu Qing’s lips parted slightly.

“How should I say this…” Yang Kai frowned and recalled what he experienced earlier and only after a long pause did he continue, “There’s a powerful force that pervades Human Imperial City, and that Third Imperial Prince seems to be able to control that force at will. The one who hurt me was not the Third Imperial Prince per say, but rather that omnipresent power.”

It was hard to describe, but its meaning was very simple. Naturally, Zhu Qing wouldn’t understand, so she asked in a daze, “So what sort of power is it?”

“I can’t say for sure.” Yang Kai shook his head, “Remember when that woman told us not to mess with those people with leaf emblems on their chests?”

Zhu Qing tapped the table lightly in realization, “There seemed to be a leaf emblem on the Third Imperial Prince’s clothes.”

Yang Kai grinned, “And it was a nine-leaf emblem!” Then, he pointed to the sky, “You may not have noticed, but the guys flying in the sky all had leaf emblems on their chests, just not with the same number.”

Hearing him say so, Zhu Qing quickly released her Divine Sense to check and discovered that it seemed to be true. Regardless of strength, none of those people flying in the sky were ordinary people. All of them had the leaf emblem embroidered in front of their chests.

“These people probably hold a special status in Human Imperial City.” Yang Kai rapped his fingers on the table, “There’s the Human Sovereign and the Imperial Princes here, so I’m guessing… Those guys with the leaf emblems on their chests must be related to this Imperial Family, which gives them some privileges.”
