Chapter 254: Chapter 251 Beichen Domain

Ye Xuan bade farewell to Lady Xuan the next day and then set off.

With a complete sea chart of the Chaotic Sea Domain, Ye Xuan now moved through this vast sea area with considerable confidence, at least he would not get lost or enter an inescapable place.

For travel between major islands, there were flying Demon Beasts as means of transport, but stops were necessary for rest, as the beasts needed to rest and feed. Flying over the sea for long distances might exhaust the Demon Beast to the point of falling from the sky, which could be tragic.

If this happened in the central area of the journey, it would be even more troublesome.

Besides flying Demon Beasts, ships became the main mode of long-distance transportation. The ships in the Chaotic Sea Domain weren’t ordinary; they were modified motor ships that moved very fast, almost as fast as the flying Demon Beasts.

With various fastest ways of traveling, after several detours, Ye Xuan finally reached his destination a month later—the Beichen Domain.

The Beichen Domain, although named as a "domain", was not a complete continent. Instead, it consisted of many islands connected together, making it a significant area in the Chaotic Sea Domain due to its concentrated size and many powerful factions stationed there.

The entire Chaotic Sea Domain was divided by the Stormy Sea, with the west belonging to the Human Clan and the east to the Demon Clan. The land of the Human Clan mainly included three domains: Central Domain, Southern Star Domain, and Beichen Domain.

Among these three domains, there were the main forces of the Human Clan: two Fifth Grade powers and fifteen Fourth Grade powers, with three of the Fourth Grade Sects located in the Beichen Domain. These three Fourth Grade Sects were Xuanbing Mansion, Evil Wind Cave Heaven, and Mist Sea.

Despite the Human Clan occupying only half of the vast Chaotic Sea Domain, its territory was still extensive, not to mention the many small island domains outside the three major domains, with human powers distributed on those islands.

Powers like the Golden Island Business Alliance stood strong outside the three major domains.

The three major powers had frequent conflicts over the resources in the Beichen Domain. Among them, Xuanbing Mansion and Evil Wind Cave Heaven had the deepest contradictions, nearly at the point of fire and water, and with the sinister behavior of Evil Wind Cave Heaven, the two had been enemies for many years.

After arriving at the Beichen Domain, Ye Xuan hurriedly rushed to Xuanbing Mansion.

As one of the three ruling powers in the Beichen Domain, Xuanbing Mansion was located in the northwest corner of the Domain, on a continent-island called Glacier Island. Glacier Island was almost always in winter due to its geographical location and the Spirit Summoning Array Formation set by Xuanbing Mansion, which suited the cultivation needs of most disciples at Xuanbing Mansion, as they cultivated the Ice Attribute Techniques, benefiting greatly from this weather and environment.

Glacier Island was vast, and Xuanbing Mansion did not occupy the whole island but controlled its core region. Around the island, it was common to see Xuanbing Mansion disciples in uniform white robes with ice block patterns on their chests.

Xuanbing Mansion, being a Fourth Grade Sect, naturally had a much grander presence than the Heavenly Martial Hall.

The gates of Xuanbing Mansion were camouflaged with Prohibition. Normally, Martial Artists could hardly find it unless led by someone, but this Prohibition was not too sophisticated for Ye Xuan.

"Halt, state your name,"

The disciple guarding the gate stopped Ye Xuan, primarily because Ye Xuan was not wearing the uniform of Xuanbing Mansion disciples; otherwise, with so many disciples in the vast Xuanbing Mansion, they could not have recognized him instantly.

"My name is Ye Xuan, I am here at Xuanbing Mansion to find an old acquaintance," Ye Xuan cupped his hands as a sign of respect.

"Who are you looking for?" the disciple glanced at Ye Xuan and asked somewhat arrogantly.

Ye Xuan’s name had never been heard before, and judging by his attire, he was not likely a disciple of Dan Hall or Mist Sea, probably some unknown nobody.

Although Ye Xuan was currently ranked twenty-seventh on the Battle List, it was still a short time, and not everyone would know him; probably only those particularly focused on the Battle List would know that a new person named Ye Xuan had emerged.

"I’m looking for a female disciple named Nangong Yao, she should have joined about two years ago, please inform her," Ye Xuan estimated the time; although Nangong Yao hadn’t been a disciple for long, her talents should prevent her from being unknown.

"Nangong Yao?" The disciple pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and a sneering expression appeared, "You mean Junior Sister Nangong? The number of people who want to meet Junior Sister Nangong in the entire Beichen Domain isn’t one thousand but eight thousand. How noble her status is, and you, an unknown nobody, think you can just meet her?"

The other disciples also looked at Ye Xuan with scorn, as if they were seeing a toad longing for swan meat.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s mind also stirred slightly; it seemed Nangong Yao’s position in Xuanbing Mansion had far exceeded his expectations. In just two short years, this young girl had already climbed to such a level?

"I truly am a friend of your Junior Sister Nangong, you just need to inform her, and she will know," Ye Xuan slightly furrowed his brows, finding the attitude of these gatekeeping disciples of Xuanbing Mansion rather offensive.

"Enough with your nonsense, claiming to be a friend of Junior Sister Nangong, how dare you? Now get lost, or do we need to force you out?"

The previously speaking disciple’s face changed, clearly becoming impatient and shouted at Ye Xuan sternly.

"What if I don’t leave?"

Ye Xuan sneered, seeing these mere gatekeeping disciples being so arrogant; it seemed Xuanbing Mansion wasn’t very good at disciplining its disciples.

"Not leaving? Then you’re asking for a beating!"

Several disciples guarding the gate all grinned and drew their weapons, then without further ado, they surrounded Ye Xuan.

Successive attacks came towards him, these people were actually making a move!

Ye Xuan’s expression remained unchanged, only the corner of his mouth slightly curved up, it was the other party who made the first move, so he would not hold back.

Three sharp swords stabbed through the air; Ye Xuan stretched out his hand and caught two of them, while the remaining one stabbed directly towards his face. He slightly tilted his head to dodge the cold, flashing sword light and almost simultaneously kicked the sword-carrying disciple in the abdomen, sending him flying with his sword.

"Seeking death!"

Seeing that Ye Xuan dared to fight back and injure someone, the remaining two disciples also threw punches, one to the left and one to the right, fiercely aiming for Ye Xuan’s face.

Boom!

Just when their fists were about to hit Ye Xuan’s face, Ye Xuan suddenly leaned back, causing their fists to collide heavily with each other. Pain made the two disciples grimace, and without giving them much time to react, Ye Xuan had already struck each of their chests with a palm, sending them flying and crashing to the ground.

Dang dang dang!

Suddenly, the clear sound of a bell rang out, echoing throughout the area. A mountain-guarding disciple had already sounded the alarm.

In no time, more than twenty disciples dressed in uniform from Xuanbing Mansion arrived, led by a beautiful-looking woman. However, these disciples, upon seeing Ye Xuan, all showed hostility and a bit of gloom on their faces. A young man like this, daring to challenge the entrance of Xuanbing Mansion alone, truly did not see them in his eyes.

"Form the array!"

Ye Xuan was just about to explain, but before he could speak, on the beautiful woman’s command, more than twenty Xuanbing Mansion disciples moved in unison. They swiftly positioned themselves around a thirty-meter radius of Ye Xuan, connecting with each other to form a lotus-shaped battle array, trapping Ye Xuan inside.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan also took off the scabbard from his back, but he did not draw his sword, as he was here to find someone and just needed to clear up the misunderstanding. If it escalated to bloodshed, it would be difficult to explain later.

"Kill!"

Once the lotus-shaped battle array formed, a resounding battle cry erupted from those Xuanbing Mansion disciples’ mouths, and immediately, five disciples lunged from the array towards Ye Xuan.

Shua!

Acting preemptively, Ye Xuan drew long trails with his scabbard in the air, and under his extreme control, it seemed as if one turned into five, striking each of the five disciples before their moves could fully develop.

The five were knocked flying back, but without any loss in their combat capability, they rejoined the battle array. Moments later, a number of them surged forth to attack again.

"This kind of battle array, drawing on the concept of an ever-renewing Green Lotus, will continuously drain one’s strength unless forcefully broken through."

Ye Xuan used the scabbard to meet his opponents, not wanting to harm anyone, which didn’t mean he underestimated them. On the contrary, Ye Xuan never underestimated an enemy; if he did, he would only harm himself.

Once again repelling the attacking disciples from Xuanbing Mansion, a sharp gleam flickered in Ye Xuan’s eyes. With a "clang," the precious sword suddenly unsheathed, and Ye Xuan made a vast slash with it in the air, sending an immense sword Qi from the sky towards the battle array.

Hiss hiss hiss...

This sword seemed to slice through the heavens and the earth, and the unending momentum formed by the battle array was also shattered by this single slash. The battle array instantly broke, and the more than twenty disciples who formed the array all turned pale, overwhelmed by Ye Xuan’s sword momentum.

"To actually split open the Green Lotus Formation with one strike."

The beautiful woman was startled. Among the disciples of Xuanbing Mansion, there were very few who could break the Green Lotus formation in one move. She did not expect that this intruder would possess such formidable strength.

Qiang!

Without much hesitation, the beautiful woman drew the precious sword from her waist. Coldness burst forth from her, and she and the sword lunged forward together, aiming directly at Ye Xuan’s chest like a shooting star.

Ye Xuan shook his head. These people of Xuanbing Mansion were too overbearing, giving him no chance to explain, and just attacked one after another.

Clang!

After splitting open the Green Lotus Formation, Ye Xuan had already sheathed the Spiritual Edge Sword. Facing the meteor-like sword strike of the beautiful woman, he simply raised the scabbard and blocked it in front of him, the crisp collision echoing as sparks flew.

"Arrogant!"

Seeing Ye Xuan did not draw his sword, the beautiful woman thought he was belittling her, her eyes growing colder, and her sword strikes increased in speed and ferocity.

Ye Xuan knew this fight wouldn’t end if it continued this way. After spotting a flaw in her technique, he struck out with the scabbard inversely, an incredibly tricky and fast move, revealing half of the sword blade which just pressed against the beautiful woman’s neck.
