Chapter 575: Chapter 514 Dazzling and Overwhelming

Although Bodhi Wu Yin, like Jie Dao, was at the Peak of Gang Qi, she possessed a secret technique that allowed her to perfectly conceal her aura. Not to mention cultivators at the same realm, even the entire Yan couldn’t detect her presence.

Nonetheless, to be on the safe side, Bodhi Wu Yin did not closely follow Jie Dao. Instead, she deliberately kept her distance, hanging far behind Jie Dao without letting him out of her range of mental perception.

Hmm?

After an unknown amount of time, the Tumur Peak, which was experiencing a glacier and snow collapse, came into view for both Bodhi Wu Yin and Jie Dao, and their expressions changed simultaneously!

Although Jie Dao had learned from Emperor Bai about the anomaly at Tumur Peak, he had not expected the entire glacier and snow of Tumur Peak to collapse, almost beyond recognition.

Compared to him, the shock in Bodhi Wu Yin’s heart was even greater.

Reason told her that something bizarre must have occurred at Tumur Peak, or such a drastic change would not have happened!

After all, almost the entire mountain’s glaciers and snow had collapsed, which required a terrifying amount of energy fluctuation; only an earthquake could achieve that.

And if there had been an earthquake at Tumur Peak, she wouldn’t have failed to perceive it before!

"First, find Little Emperor and understand the situation!"

After the shock, Jie Dao quickly made a decision, soared down with his Qi manipulation, and flew towards the base of Tumur Peak.

Soon, Jie Dao arrived at the forest entrance at the base of Tumur Peak, but found no sign of Emperor Bai. Using his mental perception to scan the area, he was startled to find that Emperor Bai had already reached halfway up the mountain.

This discovery made Jie Dao’s expression turn ugly; he pulled out a special communicator, contacted Emperor Bai, and coldly scolded, "Didn’t I tell you to wait for me at the foot of the mountain? How dare you ascend on your own?"

"Master, I was planning to wait at the base of the mountain for you, but earlier, I suddenly sensed the aura of a cultivator at the Innate Great Perfection Realm at the peak, and the aura was intermittent. I found it odd and, fearing that someone else might reach there first, I decided to go up the mountain to check," Emperor Bai hurriedly explained. Although he was a descendant of the Bai Family and known as the number one genius of the younger generation in the Huaxia Martial Arts World, he held Jie Dao in high respect, bordering on reverence.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Jie Dao’s interest was piqued. He released his mental perception again and indeed detected the aura of an Innate Great Perfection Realm cultivator. He instantly instructed, "That aura is very close to you, go and see what’s going on. I will be right there!"

"Alright!"

Emperor Bai, having also sensed the aura, hastily acknowledged Jie Dao’s command and then disconnected the communication, dashing towards the location of the aura.

The owner of that aura was none other than Ye Fan!

Although he had activated the Ghost Ring, which could hide his own aura, every time he manipulated his flying knife to practice the "Flying Sword Skill," his aura would be projected outward.

"The ’Flying Sword Skill,’ this Manipulation Stream Attack Secret Technique is simply incredible. I’ve only learned a bit of the first move, and the power of my Flying Knife Assassination has already increased by half!"

Ye Fan was completely immersed in the cultivation of the "Flying Sword Skill," not using his mental perception to scout his surroundings. He was unaware that his aura had been detected, and even more unaware that Emperor Bai, Jie Dao, and Bodhi Wu Yin were swiftly approaching his location. Instead, he retracted the Xuanye Flying Blade with a thought, his heart brimming with excitement.

"Although the secret technique is powerful, as stated in the technique itself, it is very difficult to cultivate. It requires seclusion and deep contemplation to potentially master the first style. Since it can’t be mastered in a short period, I shouldn’t focus all my efforts on cultivation. I should continue as before, searching for the Snow Lotus King during the day and cultivating at night."

Even amidst his excitement, Ye Fan’s mind remained clear. He was absolutely confident in his own comprehension but also realized that the "Flying Sword Skill" was not something that could be mastered in a day or two.

With that thought, Ye Fan no longer lingered but silently dashed towards a cliff ahead.

Tumur Peak had many cliffs and precipices. When Ye Fan had previously scaled the peak, he was too preoccupied with unraveling the mysteries in his mind and hadn’t inspected them. After the anomaly, he had been absorbed in cultivating the "Flying Sword Skill," and only now had he decided to take a look.

"How did the aura disappear again?"

Not far from where Ye Fan had just left, Emperor Bai noticed the disappearance of Ye Fan’s aura again. Frowning, he maximized his speed and quickly arrived at the spot where Ye Fan had been moments before.

Hmm?

Seeing the footprints left on the ground, Emperor Bai’s pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately followed the footprints.

Meanwhile, not far behind Emperor Bai in the sky, Jie Dao also noticed the disappearance of Ye Fan’s aura and found it very strange. He too followed in the direction of the moving aura towards Emperor Bai.

"Could it be that Jie Dao and Emperor Bai, the master and disciple, are intending to target Ye Fan?"

In the sky behind Jie Dao, Bodhi Wu Yin furrowed her brows.

Although Emperor Bai and Jie Dao hadn’t met Ye Fan and were not familiar with his aura, Bodhi Wu Yin was different—just a few days ago, she had personally witnessed Ye Fan’s battle with Xiao Selang, a martial arts genius from the Tian Shan Sword Sect. She was very familiar with Ye Fan’s aura and immediately recognized that the aura belonged to Ye Fan.

At the moment, although she could no longer sense Ye Fan’s aura, she knew that Ye Fan possessed a magic artifact that could conceal his aura, which was not surprising. Instead, she was curious about the intentions of Emperor Bai and Jie Dao.

Because once out of the forest on the mountain, there were no mutant beasts, Ye Fan had not used his mental perception to scout the surroundings. Up to now, he was unaware that he was being followed and was quickly heading towards a cliff.

Hmm?

Suddenly, Ye Fan’s stride halted, his pupils dilating sharply!

What appeared in his eyes was a cliff. The glaciers around the cliff had shattered, most of them plunging into the ravine below, leaving only a few pieces.

Because the surface of the cliff was flat, the snow on top had remained. At first glance, it appeared as a vast expanse of dazzling white.

In the midst of that snow, nestled in a crevice in a rock, grew a white flower. The stem and leaves of the white flower were completely covered by the snow, and the blossom blended seamlessly with the snow, making it almost indiscernible unless looked at closely.

The flower had twelve petals total, forming a spherical cluster at the stem’s tip, with edges or entirely in purple-brown, sharply pointed at the tips, the outer layer sparsely covered with long, soft hairs, the middle and inner layers lanceolate.

This flower was none other than the Snow Lotus, the most famous bloom of Mount Tian!

"Could it be the Snow Lotus King?"

Ye Fan’s mind stirred, and he quickly released his mental perception to check whether the Snow Lotus contained Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. If it did, it would indeed be the Snow Lotus King!

Hmm?

No sooner had Ye Fan released his perception than he sensed a powerful aura swiftly approaching from behind him, its speed extremely quick.

In addition, behind that powerful aura, there was an even more terrifying presence!

The presence was so overwhelming that the moment Ye Fan noticed it, he felt his heart tremble with fear!

Whoosh!

The sudden turn of events caused Ye Fan’s face to change dramatically, and he quickly turned to look.

"Is it him?"

The sprinting Emperor Bai, upon seeing Ye Fan’s somewhat unfamiliar face, startled momentarily and subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

Although he had not met Ye Fan face to face before, he had seen Ye Fan’s photograph and was very clear about his appearance.

Meanwhile, as Emperor Bai halted, Ye Fan also got a clear view of Emperor Bai’s face, causing his pupils to dilate!

Clearly... he had also seen Emperor Bai’s photograph!

The reason for this was that the enmity between him and Emperor Bai was too deep!

First, the Ye Family and the Bai Family had always been rival clans, their grudges starting from the older generations and growing deeper over the decades, reaching a point where they were utterly incompatible.

Although Ye Fan had never considered himself as part of the Ye Family’s young masters, he had vowed to help his father, Ye Wenhao, ascend to the top. Moreover, having sent Young Master Bai, Bai Luo, to prison and inflicted severe damages on the Bai Family consecutively, he had long been regarded as a thorn in the Bai Family’s side.

Second, Chu Xuanji and Jie Dao had feuds, and their hatred would also affect the conflict between Ye Fan and Emperor Bai!

Lastly, Emperor Bai was the champion of the previous Qing bang competition and a leader among the young generation in the Cultivation World, a target everyone aimed to defeat, and Ye Fan was no exception!

"The world really is small."

Upon their eyes meeting, Emperor Bai smirked disdainfully, his intent for battle and killing subtly manifesting, exerting tremendous pressure on Ye Fan.

Ye Fan steadied his consciousness, using his Martial Arts Will to counter Emperor Bai’s oppression.

"Hmph!"

Seeing that Ye Fan was resisting his oppressive aura, Emperor Bai snorted coldly, his aura surged explosively, and his killing intent and battle spirit erupted like a volcanic eruption, fusing together like a sharp treasure sword cleaving at Ye Fan, terrifyingly powerful.

"My heart is as steady as a rock!"

Facing the renewed oppressive aura from Emperor Bai, Ye Fan felt as if a mountain was pressing on his chest, his consciousness faintly trembling, he quickly gathered his thoughts and again stabilized his mind, resisting with his Martial Arts Will.

However—

Emperor Bai’s aura was just too fearsome. He seemed like a blood-stained battle sword, his killing intent formidable. Even with Ye Fan’s exceptionally strong consciousness and firmly resolute Martial Arts Will, it was quite challenging to resist. In a blink, sweat beaded on his forehead, and his breathing rhythm was disrupted.

"You at least saved some face for that old bastard Chu Xuanji!"

Seeing that his oppressive aura couldn’t make Ye Fan crumble, Emperor Bai gave a cold laugh, looking at Ye Fan as if a divine being looking down on an ant, filled with disdain—just using his aura, he was nearly overpowering Ye Fan; killing him would be as easy as flipping his hand!

"It seems your master only taught you Martial Arts, not how to be a decent human. Otherwise, you wouldn’t talk nothing but rubbish," Ye Fan retorted coldly, unfazed by Emperor Bai’s extremely terrifying pressure and threats after hearing him insult Chu Xuanji.

"If you crave death that much, I wouldn’t mind fulfilling your wish," Emperor Bai said, eyes brimming with murderous intent.

"Buzz~"

The Bloodthirsty Mad Blade as if sensing Emperor Bai’s killing intent, emitted a soft hum, seemingly ready to unsheathe and draw blood at any moment.

"If you want to be hunted by my master and the Yanhuang Organization, by all means, bring it on." Ye Fan did not back down, his rationality telling him that Emperor Bai wouldn’t have engaged in so much talking if he dared to make a move.

"You..."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Emperor Bai’s face changed color, then sneered coldly again, his gaze piercing as he said, "What else can you do other than rely on Chu Xuanji, that old bastard, to bully others? Dare to fight me one-on-one?"
