Chapter 59 Blockade
"The great Divine Tool—the River Soldiers will appear soon!"
"It will manifest at the Imperial Mausoleum, at the ley lines of the imperial sovereignty!"
On the very same day the Emperor had received the results of his seers' and soothsayers' auguries, word of the prophecy began leaking quietly out of the imperial city into the public through various channels.
Like the faint trembling spreading from the centermost skeins of a vast spider web, the news caused ripples in the domains of the Cultivation World and the Five Main Tribes of Demon Race alike; the news was readily available to anyone who had an ear to it. The site of the Imperial Mausoleum, with its restrictions and the various dangers that skulked within, became known to anyone interested. What should have been a carefully-guarded secret had become as public as a flaming brand in the dark.
It was no longer a secret; but a general knowledge to everyone, even the common fo

At the head of the Bridge of Long Life. Thirty-two soldiers of the Ye Clan guarded the bridge, casting stern glances upon the group of curious onlookers that began to crowd around them, as many of the people began clamoring distastefully at the blockade. "What's going on at the front? Why are you barring the road? This is outrageous!" A man shouted loudly at the soldiers. "The Ministry of War is conducting an investigation. No irrelevant personnel is allowed to pass until further notice," growled the sergeant of in charge of the troop. "Irrelevant personnel? What irrelevant personnel? I used this road every day! In what way are we irrelevant people here." "Anyone without the authorization pass issued by the Ministry of War is considered irrelevant personnel." "My house is just at the street in front. How am I supposed to go with you fools barring the road?" Another voice yelled over the boisterous di
Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 61 The Shuiyue Seminary and Dreaming about Buddha
"Mister, I wish that you never stop improving, and I wish that the Divine Sect Seminary is here to stay forever." Zhao Ting was the first person to walk on Yong'an Street and into the doors of the Divine Sect Seminary. He stood respectfully before Ye Que, completely devoid of the mannerisms of a young master of the Grand Preceptor's residence, and he even seemed a little emotional in fact. Just as he finished speaking, dozens of people came walking in one after another, including Bai Yu, Yun Feihe, Shi Lei and Leng Wuxin. They wore innocent expressions, and they had silly grins that belied their innate pride at the success of their friend. What they had just done was indeed very cool, but logically speaking, it was also extremely harmful to them. Zhao Ting could end up losing his authority in Zhao Manor, and Bai Yu could be demoted beyond Judicator. Even Leng Wuxin could be stripped of his post as second in command.
Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 62 How Much Do You Know About the Past?
In the deepest corner of everyone's mind was memory so painful that we wished we could keep forever locked, never to resurface again. Everyone had dreams, however, especially nightmares. Those painful memories would frequently appear in our nightmares, causing to wake up from shock. As time went by, the nightmares became more terrible, and the memories turned darker, before the dreams became vivid. Ye Que suffered from a vivid nightmare like that once. It haunted him for decades, and it became a mental issue when he was ascending, nearing killing him. It originated from a fragment of his memories. Then, Ye Que was still an infant. It was still midwinter in his dreams, and the weather was extremely cold. Huge flakes of snow were falling from the sky, and his surroundings were all white. His eyes were blinded by the dazzling snow, and everything around him was covered by it. He could feel that his face
Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 63 Strange Happenings
The sounds of the evening were melodious, and the distant mountains gradually faded away from sight. The clouds looked like burning coals, and there was a faint darkness around them. Heaven and Earth seemed to have been separated as one gazed out of the third storey of the Divine Sect Seminary. If one gazed below, one would see huge crowds of people, horses and carriages. If one gazed above, one could see the Sun setting. They had finished speaking and drinking their tea, and remained silent for a while. Ye Zhengru coughed softly after a long while and stood up slowly. He placed one hand on his cane, and raised the other toward the skies, before pausing and bringing it down to Ye Que's shoulder. He patted his son twice, neither lightly nor heavily. "I'm old, and can't sit for long," Ye Zhengru said softly before turning around and walking out slowly. He stopped after taking two steps and continued, "I couldn't make decisions fo
Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 64 This Night
The Divine Sect Seminary was obviously not a heavenly paradise. How could a place situated in the worldly Luoyang City become a gateway to Heaven? Those 17 civilians managed to enter a meditative state so quickly because of Ye Que's help. The path that Ye Que bashed through after studying the Divine Book was no ordinary one leading to the Psychic Realm. It was not exaggerating to call it a path to Heaven. Of course, it was not the Heaven in the skies, but the 'Heaven' of Spiritual Energy. Normally, practitioners would train their True Energy, but Ye Que cultivated his Divine Energy. The difficulty of breaking through was unavoidable. Similarly, in the process of breaking through, the environment around him was also be more or less affected. Everything Ye Que took a step forward, he swung his saber once, and every time he did that, a seal script would be slashed into pieces. It would delay the Spiritu
Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 65 The White Dew Falls as the Wind Blows from the West
The leaves of the lotus flowers had begun to fall, and the lushness of summer was fading away. The West Wind blew, and it was quiet all around the city. It was time for White Dew to fall, and the cicadas remained silent in the night. Warmth faded away slowly, and the birds began to migrate to warmer climates in flocks, from the North to the South. Overnight, the General's Manor was completely draped with white cloth. Lamps burned throughout the entire night, incense paper and joss sticks were lit, and sounds of crying rang out. Ye Yunhai had arrived in the palace dressed in mourning wear for the morning court session, and the news quickly broke out throughout the entire Luoyang City. General Ye Zhengru had passed away! It caused a great ripple across the entire city! Even though there had been news that the old general was getting on in age and bedridden, he was seen outdoors yesterday. So how could he have passed
Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 66 We Came from the Same Place
The sounds of mourning passed through the windows into Ye Que's ears. He walked to the windows and gazed far away to the head of the Bridge of Long Life, shaped like a stone arch. He caught sight of Ye Yunhai wearing a mourning head dress and clothes of hemp. A huge coffin was following him from behind, and Xiao Huating was standing behind it humming a dirge softly. Further away behind them was an endless procession of mourners. "Has someone from the General's Manor passed away?" Ye Que thought instinctively before an idea struck him. "How many people are worthy enough of causing Ye Yunhai to put on mourning wear, and for Xiao Huating to hum an elegy? Aside from Ye Zhengru, I doubt anyone else has such influence." "Impossible!" Ye Que rejected the idea because he had just seen Ye Zhengru a few days ago. Although the general's body was indeed weak and he was afflicted with illness, Ye Que judged that he would not be in any risk
Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 67 Burning Ship
After moving out of the way and returning to the Divine Sect Seminary, Ye Que shot Qian Shuxiao a look. "You better give me one..." Qian Shuxiao threw a jade pendant at him before he could finish his sentence. Ye Que caught the pendant with ease and looked at it. "Why is this pendant with you?" Ye Que remembered vividly that this jade pendant was something his mother left behind. Several days ago, he had personally delivered it to Ye Zhengru. How did it end up in Qian Shuxiao's hands? "Old General Ye's housekeeper delivered it to me. It's his private housekeeper; you've met him," Qian Shuxiao explained. "The day after your meeting, he secretly came here in the evening to see you. But you were in the midst of your close-door meditation then, so he handed it to me. He also left a message." "What is it?" Ye Que frowned. "Tell Ye this: River Soldiers." Qian Shuxiao counted on his fingers as he spoke. "Fi
