Chapter 351: Chapter 348: The News

Elder Yin Zhi himself, was also sent staggering backwards more than ten yards by that powerful impact, his body adorned with streaks of blood, covered in wounds, his complexion overtaken with terror.

With just an offhand strike, Ye Xuan had broken through the battle formation assembled by the members of the Evil Blood Demon Sect, even injuring Elder Yin Zhi, who was at the Seventh Grade Demon King realm.

"Run!"

No longer harboring any thoughts of resistance, Elder Yin Zhi suddenly lashed out with both hands, one to the left and one to the right, flinging two of the Evil Blood Demon Sect’s strong allies towards Ye Xuan as he turned to flee.

"Thinking of running now, I’m afraid it’s a bit late."

Ye Xuan executed the Taiching Spirit Void Step, advancing forward in a single step that carried him dozens of meters, appearing right above Elder Yin Zhi’s head.

Seeing this, Elder Yin Zhi’s face changed dramatically as he looked up and then hurled his fist upwards.

Boom!

Ye Xuan struck downwards with his palm, unleashing an extremely fierce Palm Force that sent Elder Yin Zhi flying, crashing into the wall beside them and leaving a large hole.

With a loud crash, the entire building caved in, burying Elder Yin Zhi within the ruins.

"How is this possible, who in heaven’s name are you? Even within Sky Demon Mountain, there’s no young person as terrifying as you, just who are you?"

Elder Yin Zhi stared at Ye Xuan in a somewhat panicked manner. This young man wearing a ghost mask possessed such astonishing strength that he, an elder of the Evil Blood Demon Sect, was no match. Someone with this level of skill should have already been a famous figure in the Demon Beast Territory.

"The dead need not know too much."

Under the ghost mask, Ye Xuan’s expression remained unflinching. He crossed his hands behind his back and walked towards Elder Yin Zhi.

"Damn you, go to hell!"

Driven into a corner by Ye Xuan, a fierce light flashed in Elder Yin Zhi’s eyes. He activated the Bloodline Power within his body, his entire being enveloped in a mist of blood. Behind him, a giant blood-red eagle suddenly materialized, its blood qi so dense at that moment that it reached an extreme.

Looking as if he intended to die along with Ye Xuan, Elder Yin Zhi’s aura became extremely unstable as he surged back towards Ye Xuan.

In response, Ye Xuan’s eyes just flashed, and then his body trembled and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was standing in front of Elder Yin Zhi, accurately poking his finger at Elder Yin Zhi’s forehead.

Thud!

A blood hole appeared in his forehead, and Elder Yin Zhi’s eyes quickly lost their luster. His legs gave out, and he knelt to the ground, collapsing limply.

Having taken Elder Yin Zhi’s Qiankun Ring, Ye Xuan glanced inside and found not only a substantial number of Xuanyuan Pills but also other items. Unexpectedly, there were over a dozen Spirit Crystals, an excellent find.

The heaven and earth energy stored in Spirit Crystals could be directly absorbed for cultivation, exceptionally pure and easy to refine. For Ye Xuan at the present, Xuanyuan Pills had largely lost their effectiveness, serving mainly as a common currency to purchase higher-level pills.

"Quick, run!"

With Elder Yin Zhi dead, the remaining strong members of the Evil Blood Demon Sect scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions.

Ye Xuan stood still, unmoved. He sheathed his sword and then suddenly raised his palm. In the next moment, the weapons that had fallen to the ground began to float into the air.

"Go!"

With a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, Ye Xuan’s hand moved abruptly, and those weapons that were suspended in the air shot out fiercely.

Pupupupupu!

The weapons hit their marks, piercing through the bodies of those trying to escape. Blood spurted wildly as the strong members of the Evil Blood Demon Sect were penetrated and fell to the ground, dead.

However, Ye Xuan only killed about a dozen individuals with higher cultivation. As for the remaining low-rank Demon Kings, he couldn’t be bothered to kill them – eliminating them wouldn’t earn any Merit Points, so why indulge in needless slaughter.

Generally, only those with some status and identity in the enemy camp were worthy of prompting Ye Xuan to act.

After collecting the wealth from those individuals, Ye Xuan tallied it up. Apart from what was on Elder Yin Zhi, the others carried little of value. Combined, they had just about two to three hundred thousand Xuanyuan Pills’ worth.

"My friend, may I ask your honorable name?"

At this moment, Miss Black and Zhou Ying came over. Their gazes towards Ye Xuan still carried a residual hint of shock. Ye Xuan had single-handedly defeated the forces of the Evil Blood Demon Sect and killed their leader, Elder Yin Zhi – someone they couldn’t even handle together. And yet, he had been powerless before this masked man.

As part of the younger generation, even they did not know when exactly such a fearsome and superior expert had emerged in Sky Demon Mountain.

The gap between them and this masked man was as vast as that between the heavens and the earth.

"I heard that some powerful old experts can maintain a youthful appearance even at an advanced age after taking certain pills. Do you think he might be one of those people?"

Miss Black’s eyes suddenly lit up, then she transmitted her voice softly to Zhou Ying.

"Very likely."

Zhou Ying nodded, he too didn’t believe that such a person could exist among the younger generation.

"I just happened to be passing by; the name is not important."

Ye Xuan shook his head indifferently. He had intended to keep his identity secret on this trip, and he wouldn’t reveal his true identity unless absolutely necessary.

Hearing what Ye Xuan said, Miss Black and Zhou Ying exchanged glances, asking no further. They could tell from Ye Xuan’s attire that he obviously didn’t intend to reveal his identity, so why should they be overly inquisitive?

"Regardless, you helped us break the siege, and we owe you our thanks."

Miss Black stared at Ye Xuan’s face, seemingly trying to see through the face hidden behind the ghost mask. However, Ye Xuan used his soul power to create an isolation layer within the ghost mask, ensuring that no one could discover his true face unless their soul power was stronger than Ye Xuan’s.

"Nowadays, the experts of the Eastern Desolate Island Domain are basically gathered on Fire Island in the southeast. I suppose you didn’t come here just to sightsee. How about we go to Fire Island together?"

Miss Black couldn’t see through Ye Xuan, and a certain gravity appeared in her beautiful eyes. Then, she cupped her fists towards Ye Xuan. On Fire Island, there were Elders from their Black Water Palace, as well as many other experts. She had come targeting Fire Island as well, but had run into trouble with people from the Evil Blood Demon Sect along the way.

"Fire Island?"

The map of the Eastern Desolate Island Domain emerged in Ye Xuan’s mind, with Fire Island being one of the largest islands in the area.

"Indeed, on Fire Island, not only are there Elders from our two forces, but also Elders from Sky Demon Mountain, along with commanding generals. It can be said to be our stronghold in the Eastern Desolate Island Domain." Zhou Ying added, feeling that Ye Xuan looked somewhat familiar, but unable to guess who he might be, moreover he dared not speculate wildly.

"Let’s go then."

Ye Xuan, not showing his true face, wasn’t worried about being recognized. He feared that only by going to Fire Island would he find out about Yu Yi’s condition and have the chance to meet the experts of the Sea God Palace.

...

Fire Island.

As Miss Black and Zhou Ying had mentioned, numerous experts were already gathered on Fire Island. The battle with the Sea God Palace was quite chaotic, and now, there were perhaps more than a dozen Seventh Grade Demon Kings deployed from Sky Demon Mountain, Black Water Palace, and Green Lake Island, with more than half of them from Sky Demon Mountain.

Ye Xuan, Miss Black, and Zhou Ying arrived at Fire Island. Since the latter two were prodigies from Black Water Palace and Green Lake Island, they had almost unhindered access on Fire Island and quickly made it into a city.

Most of the Seventh Grade Demon Kings from the three forces were inside this city.

"It’s said that the Sea God Palace launched a massive attack this time because one of their Elders died at the hands of Sky Demon Mountain’s number one genius, Ye Xuan. As revenge, the Sea God Palace also captured a peerless genius from Sky Demon Mountain and plans to kill this genius to avenge the Elder."

As the trio walked and talked, after discussing some inconsequential topics, Ye Xuan finally heard some useful information from Zhou Ying.

"Oh? Do we know which peerless genius this is?"

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhou Ying.

"I’m not sure about that. I heard this news from an Elder, the specifics of who it is will probably be clear once we get there."

Zhou Ying shook his head.

Ye Xuan didn’t speak. He had a bad feeling that this peerless genius might very well be Yu Yi.

If that was the case, things would be troublesome.

Although he and Yu Yi didn’t have any special relationship, their time together had made them friends, and their physical interactions meant that Yu Yi was more than just a common friend. If he found her in a dire situation, he likely couldn’t just stand by and watch.

Just as Ye Xuan was deep in thought, the trio had already reached the depths of the city, and in front of a grand hall, they met a black-robed elder with a group of black-robed individuals following him, clearly people from Black Water Palace.

"Elder Ma," greeted Miss Black to the black-robed elder.

"You’ve arrived, hmm, and who is this?"

Elder Ma saw Miss Black and Zhou Ying and relaxed, smiling. However, upon seeing Ye Xuan, his smile stiffened slightly, then he scrutinized Ye Xuan, his smile slowly fading.

Noticing that the atmosphere seemed a bit off, Miss Black quickly came forward to introduce Ye Xuan, but she didn’t know Ye Xuan’s name and looked somewhat embarrassed.

"I’m called Liu Xuan, from Sky Demon Mountain."

Ye Xuan cut to the chase. Knowing that Elder Ma had his doubts about his identity, after casually coming up with a pseudonym, he showed a token of Sky Demon Mountain, releasing a unique aura from it, which gradually eased the suspicion on Elder Ma’s face.

However, Elder Ma was still somewhat disgruntled. Ye Xuan was young, but showed no sign of respect for him in his demeanor. At such a young age, he was perhaps too arrogant.

ps: I was at an all-night gathering with classmates yesterday, and I only came back this afternoon, sorry for the delay.
