Chapter 163: Chapter 161: Xiao Ye Takes Action

Xue Sha challenging Commandery Princess Cang Jianghai caused an uproar throughout Red Sun City.

Only a young talent like Xue Sha could set such a formidable figure as Cang Jianghai as a target for honing his skills and remain undefeated.

The next day, Xue Sha boldly challenged Cang Jianghai again, attracting a large number of martial artists to the battlefield, even drawing spectators from nearby cities.

This was a clash between the older generation of powerful fighters and the young talents!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Cang Jianghai couldn’t show weakness. He struck with force, battling fiercely with Xue Sha. The fighting vibrations turned many buildings into ruins, and dust filled the sky.

After hundreds of moves, both stood evenly matched. Xue Sha laughed and left, leaving a frustrated Cang Jianghai alone in the field.

"Sigh, a new generation of young talents has risen, the old generation of warriors is in decline; Black Dragon Country’s era now belongs to them," remarked a observing martial artist, sympathetically looking at Cang Jianghai.

Thinking of how Cang Jianghai was once a famous figure in Black Dragon Country, and now just a stepping stone for Xue Sha, it was indeed a tragedy.

Xiao Ye blended into the crowd, watched the great battle, and then returned to Qingming Commerce.

"Xue Sha’s strength is indeed much stronger than Wu Feng, but he is no match for me," Xiao Ye said confidently.

Having witnessed these two battles, he understood Xue Sha’s strength well. He could see that Xue Sha was using Cang Jianghai to hone himself, consolidating his cultivation, clearly preparing to consume the Blood Melt Flower and breakthrough to the Innate Limit in one go.

"Xue Sha, you have killed my kinsman, and I will let you experience what despair is," Xiao Ye breathed out and started cultivating with a Primordial Stone.

Boom!

Violent Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi surged through Xiao Ye’s physical body, then refined into pure Innate True Qi and absorbed into his Dantian, making the Primordial Crystal inside shine even brighter, radiating intense light like the sun.

"With my cultivation speed, I will definitely breakthrough to the Innate Realm Ninth Layer Mid Stage within six months!" Xiao Ye muttered to himself.

His physical body was incredibly strong, able to ignore the violent Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, so his cultivation speed was astonishingly fast.

Furthermore, once his physical body breaks through to the Four Cauldron Power, achieving Body Refining Perfection, he will naturally no longer need to split the Primordial Energy, and his cultivation speed will then match that of a genius with Twenty Acupoints, further boosting his speed.

What does Twenty Acupoints imply? That is just one Acupoint lower than the Undefeated Emperor!

On the morning of the third day, Ji Hong finally delivered the nine Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to Xiao Ye.

"All nine Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are here, and in sufficient amounts," Ji Hong handed Xiao Ye a hefty bag, having gone to great lengths to obtain these materials.

"Thank you, Chairman!" Xiao Ye accepted excitedly, now only needing the Blood Melt Flower.

Xiao Ye was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Chairman, I am leaving Red Sun City."

It felt somewhat inconsiderate to take his help and then leave immediately after obtaining the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Ji Hong was stunned, then responded with a wry smile, "I knew this day would come, but I didn’t expect it so soon. You must be participating in Black Dragon Country’s Heavenly Pride Battle, right?"

Ji Hong had never inquired about Xiao Ye’s origin or identity, but he could guess that Xiao Ye was indeed a powerful young talent, and that a Qingming Commerce couldn’t contain him.

"Chairman, I am grateful for your kindness, and I will certainly repay it in the future," Xiao Ye sincerely bowed.

That day, Xiao Ye, holding two huge parcels and carrying the Flame Saber, walked out of the Qingming Commerce’s gates.

"Is Wang Lin gone?" The guest elders of Qingming Commerce received the news and were momentarily stunned, many feeling relief.

It couldn’t be helped; Xiao Ye was too strong, creating immense pressure on them.

Swoosh!

As Xiao Ye headed towards the city gates, the city was bustling with people, with many Sun and Moon Sect martial artists stationed at the gate, searching for him.

Wearing a human skin mask, Xiao Ye easily passed the inspection and walked out of the gate.

"Sun and Moon Sect, you’ve searched for me for so long, let me return a grand gift to you," Xiao Ye looked back at Red Sun City, with a cold light swirling in his eyes.

In dealing with enemies, he was never merciful. Having decided to act, he’d go for a major move.

He had already scouted in the past days; the main base of Sun and Moon Sect was in a mountain range in Red Sun County, which explained their stronghold in Red Sun City.

"I can’t be careless after taking the Blood Melt Flower, I must leave quickly," Xiao Ye thought to himself.

While Sun and Moon Sect isn’t foolish and would send people to search thoroughly prepared, not allowing low-level warriors to court death,

with his strength, he could escape with ease unless a Xuanwu Realm strong practitioner intervened.

Xiao Ye made up his mind, found a secluded spot outside the city, hid the two parcels containing Primordial Stones and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, took off his human skin mask, took out another mask, and changed into a gray robe.

Instantly, a young man with an honest and upright appearance appeared on the scene.

He intended to seize the Blood Melt Flower, naturally, he wouldn’t stroll blatantly into the County, to avoid startling the snake in the grass. He had to hide his identity first, then find the right opportunity to strike.

Of course, he could not use Wang Lin’s identity either, as it would bring disaster to Qingming Commerce.

Half an hour later, Xiao Ye reappeared at the gate of Red Sun City, and under the watchful eyes of the martial artists from Sun and Moon Sect, he swaggered into the city.

"No matter how clever you are, you would never think that I’m right under your noses." Xiao Ye grinned, the Human Skin Mask was incredibly useful to him.

"Quick! Someone in the Tingfeng Restaurant has spotted a young man who is suspected to be Xiao Ye, let’s hurry over!" Just at this moment, a martial artist from the Sun and Moon Sect who had been guarding the city gate, weapon in hand and brimming with killing aura, ran towards a certain direction.

Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, then his interest was piqued. Could there be someone else impersonating him?

Thinking this, Xiao Ye immediately followed them.

Tingfeng Restaurant was quite popular in the County, and many martial artists liked to talk and debate there.

"Wang Laoer, are you insane, to actually worship Xiao Ye?" Numerous martial artists in Tingfeng Restaurant were glaring at a young man.

The young man had relatively dark skin, long hair flowing, and sharp eyes. He was carrying a giant saber on his back and coupled with his stature, he really resembled Xiao Ye.

"Hmph, you guys have perhaps forgotten that Mr. Xiao was the first place winner in the Direct Disciple Competition of Chongyang Sect, his strength is no less than Xue Sha, who has recently gained great fame in the city, perhaps even stronger, he’s called the Young Supreme."

"Wasn’t he treated unfairly by Chongyang Sect, questioned a Mystic Martial powerhouse, and in a fit of anger killed the Third Elder and left the Sect? What kind of spirited man is he? Is it wrong for me to worship such an extraordinary person?"

The crowd of martial artists was left speechless.

"I was inspired by Mr. Xiao’s deeds to start following the Saber Dao. I want to be as free and unrestrained as Mr. Xiao, sweeping away all injustices in the world!" The youth’s eyes emitted a brilliant light as he spoke.

"Wang Laoer, get over yourself now, it seems like people from Sun and Moon Sect will be arriving soon." An indifferent voice came from the crowd.

The young man’s expression changed slightly, he snorted coldly: "I’m just admiring Mr. Xiao, does the Sun and Moon Sect have to be so domineering as to lay a hand on me?"

Thud thud thud!

His words had barely finished when a group of martial artists from the Sun and Moon Sect, weapon in hand and wearing their sect attire rushed in from both inside and outside, surrounding the young man.

"Admiring me?" Xiao Ye who followed them heard this remark and was caught between laughter and tears. He blended into the crowd, ready to continue watching.

"Are you impersonating Xiao Ye?" A middle-aged man among the martial artists from Sun and Moon Sect stepped forward, his sharp gaze fixed on the young man as he loudly questioned.

"I’m not impersonating Mr. Xiao, I’m just his admirer. Isn’t that legal?" Wang Laoer said boldly.

A cold gleam flashed in the middle-age man’s eyes, he was about to speak when suddenly a vast and powerful energy surged, a thick scent of blood engulfed the Tingfeng Restaurant.

Boom boom boom!

The restaurant shook under this bloody aura, many martial artist’s faces changed dramatically, and a tremendous pressure made it hard for them to breathe.

A figure in a Blood Armor appeared silently in the restaurant, his blood-red eyes emitting divine light as he looked at Wang Laoer.

"Ah!" Wang Laoer exclaimed, stumbling backward and landing on his buttocks.

"Lord Xue Sha!" Seeing the young man in Blood Armor, the martial artists from the Sun and Moon Sect all kneeled on one knee, their faces full of respect.

A deathly silence fell over the restaurant, everyone looked at the Blood-Armored youth, their hearts pounding.

It couldn’t be helped, Xue Sha’s fame was too significant now, and the bloody aura exuding from his body was too strong, accumulated from killing numerous people.

"I didn’t even go looking for him, and he came to me," Xiao Ye sneered from within the crowd.

Xue Sha walked through the restaurant, the crowd automatically parted to make way, not daring to speak more.

"You’re saying... you admire Xiao Ye? And you think he is stronger than me?" Xue Sha spoke chillingly, his gaze coldly landing on Wang Laoer.

"Yes, I do think Mr. Xiao is stronger than you. Are you going to attack me?" Wang Laoer said defiantly, clearly a stubborn fellow.

"Ha ha!" Xue Sha suddenly burst into laughter, his terrifying aura rushing to the Nine Heavens, causing tremors.

"Such a weakling, worthy of comparison to me, Xue Sha? He killed our Sect Hierarch’s son, someday, I will personally send him to Hell!"

"And since you admire him, you can go down first!" Xue Sha stepped towards Wang Laoer.

"You... Are you even reasonable?" Wang Laoer was horrified.

"Reason? The weak don’t have the right to talk about reason with me, Xue Sha!" Xue Sha indifferently extended his palm, and a blood-red river rushed towards Wang Laoer.

The crowd of martial artists silently watched everything unfold. Although they were also angered by Xue Sha’s tyranny, they dared not stand up.

"Heh... Xue Sha, it’s been over a year, and you’re still the same." Xiao Ye tore off his Human Skin Mask, stepped in front of Wang Laoer, easily blocking Xue Sha’s attack.
