Chapter 580: Chapter 566 Danger Returns

"Now that you’ve revealed your identity, you expect me to let you off? Do you think that’s possible?" Xiao Ye said coldly.

The young man in the white robe was lying on the ground, at a loss for words upon hearing this.

Indeed, he had targeted Xiao Ye because he was a disciple of a Major Sect, hoping to steal the treasures Xiao Ye possessed. This was to prove himself to his father and to avoid being labeled as someone who only had his Cultivation because of his identity.

He even planned to frame the Tianyuan City Lord and escape the investigation of the powers behind Xiao Ye.

Now, lacking the strength to defeat Xiao Ye, he was using his identity as an excuse for Xiao Ye to spare him, which indeed made no sense.

"What... what do you want to do? As long as you let me go, I can have my father give you many treasures!" the young man in the white robe shouted desperately, his psychological defenses completely shattered by the prospect of death.

"I want you... dead!" Xiao Ye’s words had just finished when the Ye Blade was already drawn from the Space Ring.

Swoosh!

The fierce Sword Light cut through the void, directly slashing the young man in the white robe in half, his flesh and blood flying chaotically in a very tragic scene.

"Hmph!" Xiao Ye retracted the Ye Blade, his expression barely changing.

Since he began practicing Martial Arts, he had offended many powerful figures. A young man in a white robe like this was hardly worth his concern.

"Since he is the son of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master from the Three Alliances, he should possess quite a few treasures." A thought suddenly struck Xiao Ye, his eyes ignited with fervor.

Next, he retrieved the Longsword he had knocked away and inspected it. He found that while it was not a true Royal Artifact, it was on the same level as the golden Longsword he had taken from Golden Roc King, belonging to those weapons which had yet to fully reach the level of Royal Artifacts.

"Such a weapon is quite good; I might find a use for it later." With this thought, Xiao Ye waved his hand and stored the Longsword into his Space Ring.

Then he bent down and searched the young man in the white robe, finding nothing special, and then took the Space Ring from his finger.

He explored inside with his Consciousness and quickly discovered a vast space emerging in his mind.

Inside this space, there were not many items that caught his eye.

After inventorying, Xiao Ye found about two hundred King Crystals, over five thousand Top-grade items, and several miscellaneous Cultivation Techniques and Combat Techniques, along with a few damaged Royal Artifacts.

"So many Combat Techniques!" A hint of shock appeared in Xiao Ye’s eyes, and he casually picked up several Combat Techniques to examine, only to find that these techniques were a jumble of types, mostly Ninth Grade with only a few King Martial Combat Skills.

Xiao Ye then recalled the rumors he had heard in Tianyuan City and suddenly understood.

The Tianyuan City Lord was deliberately making things difficult for the disciples of the Major Sects, likely for the sake of this young man in white, which explained the myriad of mixed Combat Techniques here.

"Hmph, it’s like I’ve done a service by eliminating a threat; otherwise, who knows how many disciples from the Major Sects this fellow could have harmed," Xiao Ye thought self-righteously as he moved all the items from the young man’s Space Ring into his own.

Afterward, Xiao Ye split open the ground with a palm strike, creating a massive hole where he buried the young man’s body and meticulously covered up the surrounding bloodstains and the marks from their fight.

After all, given the young man in white robe’s subtle identity, Xiao Ye wanted to avoid trouble whenever possible, lest it draw the attention of the Heavenly Sword Sect and give him a headache even if he sought refuge in Taiyi Palace.

"This man attacked me from behind those assassins, clearly with bad intentions, hoping to take advantage of me, so the Tianyuan City Lord might not even know his whereabouts or suspect me," Xiao Ye thought, a cold smile appearing on his face.

The young man in white robes really dug his own grave; now, dead, probably no one even knows.

"Yet the Tianyuan City Lord dares to send assassins against me; this enmity must be avenged!" A cold gleam surged in Xiao Ye’s eyes as he looked towards Tianyuan City.

"When I comprehend the Four Emperor Skills and King Martial Scroll, resolving the challenge of harboring two types of King Martial Power simultaneously, I’ll return to Tianyuan City and give them a small warning." With that in mind, Xiao Ye, accompanied by Little White, turned and flew into the mountains to find a new place to enter seclusion and intensely Cultivate.

Since the City Lord of Tianyuan City was the Lord of a city with undoubtedly strong Cultivation, Xiao Ye planned to Cultivate here to a certain level before returning to Taiyi Palace and taking his revenge in passing.

Meanwhile, at the residence of the Tianyuan City Lord.

These past few days, the Tianyuan City Lord had not closed his eyes. Although his Cultivation was profound, the anxiety had given him quite severe dark circles under his eyes.

"Lord, I went outside the city for a long time but couldn’t find the Shadow Guard you dispatched," said a middle-aged man who rushed in, speaking to the Tianyuan City Lord.

Whoosh!

The Tianyuan City Lord stood up from his chair, his face filled with deep concern.

The Shadow Guards were personally trained by him and were very loyal.

If the assassination had been successful, they would have returned within a two days’ period, otherwise, it would not be like now where they had vanished without a trace.

"It’s over, the assassination failed? If that young man returns to his Sect, he will definitely report to the Sect, and then I’m doomed," thought the Tianyuan City Lord, his face filled with worry as he then shouted, "Quick, go and summon Young Master Leng."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man’s face showed a trace of difficulty. After hesitating for a moment, he said softly, "Actually, Young Master Leng also disappeared after you dispatched the Shadow Guards."

"I kept it from you to avoid adding to your worries, only sending people to search everywhere, but still no news till now."

Boom!

This statement was like a thunderclap striking the Tianyuan City Lord, dazing him with a surge of bad premonitions.

"Is Young Master Leng missing too?" the Tianyuan City Lord murmured, his heart trembling uncontrollably.

The failure of the assassination by the Shadow Guard, coupled with the disappearance of Young Master Leng, combined to form a thought in his mind that he found unbelievable.

Thinking of the lofty status of Young Master Leng, the Tianyuan City Lord’s shouted desperately, "Quick, prepare immediately, I will lead the troops myself to search outside the city. If something has happened to Young Master Leng, not just you, even I am doomed!"
