Chapter 464 - 460: Comprehending the Void Martial Scroll

Chapter 464: Chapter 460: Comprehending the Void Martial Scroll

Every piece of news left Long Chen utterly astonished, with an indescribable feeling welling up in his heart.

Ye City was attacked by so many Martial Artists at the same time, and there was even one who infiltrated the Ye Alliance Mansion; such a terrifying event certainly involved a significant conspiracy.

"Quick, mobilize all Ye Alliance Martial Artists at the Xuanwu Realm to follow me and exterminate the external enemies!" Right now, Long Chen couldn’t afford to think too much and rapidly issued the command before swiftly rushing out.

Even Xiao Fan, who had just reached the Xuanwu Realm, stepped out with a pale face, looking towards the direction where Xiao Ye was in seclusion: "Brother..."

In the Yulan Domain, he was the Heaven’s Chosen Son of the Xiao Alliance, treated with adoration and assailed by no one. Yet just after arriving in the True Spirit Continent, he encountered such a turmoil; the scene of the Void Martial Realm Expert brutally slaughtering the Ye Alliance Martial Artists had been deeply etched into his mind, unable to be erased.

"My brother is in seclusion. I cannot let these people disturb him. I must participate too!" Xiao Fan’s eyes hardened with resolve as he quickly dashed out of the Ye Alliance Mansion.

From this moment, he was no longer a flower in a greenhouse, but like a grass that had been through wind and rain, destined to one day grow into a towering tree.

Ye City was thrown into utter chaos due to the nineteen stealth assassinations, with screams everywhere and corpses lying in pools of blood—utterly tragic.

Today was a day of catastrophe for Ye City and the Ye Alliance alike.

Fortunately, the cultivation of these assassins was far inferior compared to that of the one who infiltrated the Ye Alliance Mansion; they were merely at the Xuanwu Realm, and the situation was quickly brought under control by Long Chen and others, with the assassins each killing themselves.

The disturbance lasted for four hours before coming to an end, but this sneak attack was a staggering blow to the Ye Alliance.

Even the ordinary Martial Artists of the Ye Alliance, no matter how slow to react, could sense that something was wrong.

First, it was the Ye Alliance Martial Artists who fell victim to an assassination by unidentified powerhouses, and now there were assassins even within Ye City, casting a shadow over every Ye Alliance Martial Artist’s heart, a feeling that a great disaster was imminent.

The Ye Alliance was thrown into tumult; many started investigating the root of the calamity, but Long Chen and other high-ranking officials of the Ye Alliance remained silent, sealing the gates of Ye City and cutting off communication with the outside world.

They were waiting for their Alliance Hierarch Xiao Ye to emerge from seclusion.

But this wait lasted half a month without an end, causing even greater panic within the Ye Alliance, a sense of falling apart.

Long Chen, despite being extremely anxious, still endured it, remembering Xiao Ye’s command not to be disturbed before he secluded himself.

In the secret chamber, Xiao Ye sat cross-legged, but his face showed signs of worry.

During his seclusion, he had actually sensed a Void Martial Realm Expert infiltrating the Ye Alliance Mansion, but he was at the critical juncture of comprehending the Four Emperor Skills. He almost went berserk due to the sounds of battle from the outside.

Fortunately, he realized that Long Chen and others had defeated that Void Martial Realm Expert, and he managed to restrain himself, continuing to comprehend the Void Martial Scroll of the Four Emperor Skills.

But how could his heart be not anxious?

"That Void Martial assassin must have been sent by the King of the Golden Roc Nation. Once I fully grasp the Void Martial Scroll, I, Xiao Ye, will certainly kill you!" Xiao Ye’s mind surged with killing intent.

No matter what reason the King of the Golden Roc Nation had for attacking the Ye Alliance, he could no longer forgive them.

On this day, a terrifyingly powerful aura suddenly erupted from Xiao Ye, causing the entire secret chamber to shake. Glowing characters floated around his body.

The next moment, four Divine-Light-filled Grotto Heavens slowly rose behind Xiao Ye, arrayed in a mysterious pattern, encircling him in the center as though a Divine being was awakening.

"The final content of the Void Martial Scroll is indeed profound. In the Time Tower, it took me five years to fully comprehend it."

"But the effects are also significant. The Iron Blood Emperor was right; even I can’t believe my own strength now." Xiao Ye slightly opened his eyes, showing a confident smile, stood up, and the four Grotto Heavens slowly vanished into the void.

Five years on the third layer of the Time Tower, but only two months have passed in the outside world.

"It’s time to deal with the King of the Golden Roc Nation." Coldness flashed in Xiao Ye’s eyes as he stepped forward and disappeared from the secret chamber.

In the main hall of the Ye Alliance Mansion, the high-ranking members of the Ye Alliance were seated, their faces serious and worried, discussing countermeasures.

Since the assassins’ stealth attack, one and a half months had passed, but the panic within the Ye Alliance grew by the day. Without a solution, the Ye Alliance might well disintegrate.

But revealing the truth to the Martial Artists of the Ye Alliance would only trigger greater panic.

Both choices were highly detrimental to the Ye Alliance.

"Long Chen!"

Just then, a gentle voice sounded, making Long Chen’s body tremble. He looked towards the source and saw Xiao Ye, dressed in a black robe with long hair over his shoulders, standing in the hall, arrived at an unknown time.

"Xiao Ye!"

"Alliance Hierarch!"

...

The high-ranking members of the Ye Alliance became excited one by one, bowing respectfully to Xiao Ye, only Long Chen was startled.

He had known Xiao Ye since their time in Yulan Domain, so he was very familiar with Xiao Ye, but at this moment, he felt as if Xiao Ye had become a different person, with a completely distinct aura from before.

The Xiao Ye of the past was a Supreme Genius, like an unsheathed Peerless Divine Sword, its edge on full display, unobstructed by anything; but now, he was completely reserved, revealing no depth at all.

The most terrifying thing is not knowing the depth.

Even Long Chen found that although Xiao Ye was clearly standing there, he felt as if Xiao Ye was somehow very far away from him, extremely ethereal and elusive.

"What exactly did Xiao Ye do during these two months of seclusion?" Long Chen’s mind was shaken, but he had no time to ponder further at the moment and proceeded to tell Xiao Ye all about the crisis facing the Ye Alliance.

"Hmph, the King of Golden Roc Kingdom is really shameless, a Void Martial Realm Expert, and yet he resorts to such despicable tactics!" Xiao Ye’s gaze was exceptionally icy-cold, as the events of these two months had exceeded his imagination.

"Long Chen, you don’t need to worry about the next steps, from now on in the True Spirit Continent, there will be no King of Golden Roc Kingdom." Xiao Ye took out a letter from his chest.

This letter was written by him before his retreat, inquiring about the cultivation level of the King of Golden Roc Kingdom. After all, one must know oneself and the enemy to be invincible.

The response was simple, or it could be said, was only a single sentence: The King Martial Realm is divided into nine levels, and the King of the Golden Roc Kingdom is a Level 1 King Martial, the most ordinary kind.

Long Chen and the high-ranking members of the Ye Alliance were stunned after hearing Xiao Ye’s words, looking at him as if they had seen a ghost.

Would there indeed be no King of Golden Roc Kingdom anymore on the True Spirit Continent?

That was a super-strong Void Martial Realm Expert; did Xiao Ye have the confidence to kill him?

Xiao Ye, of course, did not elaborate but calmly waited inside the Ye Alliance Mansion.

With his current strength, the chance of succeeding in killing the King of Golden Roc Kingdom was extremely low, and he needed Little White’s coordination as well.

Two months ago, he had dispatched Little White, who had yet to return.

"I hope nothing happens to Little White, otherwise I’ll have to face the King of Golden Roc Kingdom alone." Xiao Ye was somewhat anxious, but when he thought of Little White’s strength and speed, he calmed down.

Time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, ten more days passed by; the sense of panic within the Ye Alliance grew stronger, as no one knew when the next crisis would strike.

"Woo woo!"

One day, while Xiao Ye was cultivating with a High-Grade Essence Stone, he suddenly heard a familiar sound, and then a small white figure, like a bolt of lightning, darted into his arms.

"Little White!" Xiao Ye opened his eyes and, seeing that Little White was unharmed, he finally felt at ease.

"How did things go?" Xiao Ye quickly asked.

"Woo woo!" Little White lifted its head proudly, calling out to Xiao Ye as if waiting for his praise.

"Haha, Little White is indeed amazing, let’s set out now." Xiao Ye had long understood Little White’s meanings and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Afterward, Xiao Ye found Long Chen and gave him some instructions. Without alarming anyone from the Ye Alliance, he quietly took Little White and went to the city walls below Ye City, leaping towards the sky.

"Xiao Ye..." Long Chen watched as Xiao Ye’s figure disappeared, clenching his fists.

While Xiao Ye had not explicitly told him the purpose of his departure, he could guess.

The thought of Xiao Ye facing a King Martial Realm Expert alone sent shivers through him.

"I can’t let Xiao Ye solve all the difficulties by himself; I must increase my Cultivation, otherwise, when Xiao Ye enters Central State, what will become of the Ye Alliance?" A cold light flashed in Long Chen’s eyes, and he returned to his room to cultivate even more diligently.

Elsewhere, Xiao Ye had flown out of Ye City, arrived in mid-air, and his sharp gaze swept around, revealing a cold smile: "The King of Golden Roc Kingdom means to target me, surely observing Ye City’s movements from the shadows, and now he must have noticed my departure."

"But he certainly wouldn’t expect that this time he is the prey."

With this thought, Xiao Ye, following Little White’s guidance, burst forth with all his speed, flying towards a certain direction.

With the complete understanding of the Void Martial Scroll and his trump cards, coupled with Little White’s cooperation, Xiao Ye had no fear of the King of Golden Roc Kingdom.

It wasn’t long before space trembled, and a man in a golden robe descended from the sky, exuding the suppression of the King Martial Realm, his eyes unwaveringly fixed on the direction where Xiao Ye had vanished.

"Hmph, so you finally couldn’t resist coming out, and all by yourself, how truly arrogant."

"Xiao Ye, today is your day of death, no one can save you, whether you flee to the heavens or the earth!" The King of Golden Roc Kingdom sneered, his body piercing through the void, transforming into a streak of light, chasing after Xiao Ye like a ghost.
