Chapter 401: Chapter 398: Shocking News

"Where did this wild boy come from, daring to speak so insolently? The affairs of Xuanbing Mansion are not something you can meddle with, get out of here now!"

The elder with a pale face saw that the person was just a young man. However, when he spoke, he wasn’t the least bit polite, which caused the elder’s face to look somewhat unpleasant as he shouted harshly.

"If you want me to get out, you, as the Supreme Elder, aren’t that strong, yet you put on quite the show."

Naturally, the person was Ye Xuan. He glanced at the pale-faced elder sitting in the main seat and then smiled faintly.

"How dare you! You wild boy, to speak to me like this; I will let you know right now the extent of my strength: something not to be questioned by someone like you!"

The pale-faced elder was suddenly furious. As the Supreme Elder of Xuanbing Mansion, his cultivation had already reached the half-step Martial Venerate level, which made him quite rare in the Beichen Domain as a weak opponent. It was outrageous for him, at this moment, to be mocked and ridiculed by a mere child.

In a fit of rage, the pale-faced elder directly made his move, striking with his palm towards Ye Xuan through the air, clearly intending to teach him a memorable lesson.

When the pale-faced elder made his move, all eyes in the hall suddenly shifted, and they all unanimously looked towards the entrance. Although many among them greatly disapproved of the pale-faced elder’s actions, they held no doubts about his strength; seeing that a mere youngster dared to challenge him, they feared the outcome might not be too good.

Whoosh!

When the pale-faced elder struck with his hand, the air was instantaneously swept aside. The Palm Force contained an extremely chilling freeze, which made the air crackle as it froze.

However, this oncoming icy Palm Force dissipated suddenly before it reached Ye Xuan, not harming him in the slightest.

"What?"

Seeing this scene, the pale-faced elder was also greatly surprised. Although he had not exerted his full strength, using about fifty to sixty percent of his power, he had not expected that Ye Xuan hadn’t even made a move yet, and his Palm Force was already invisibly broken.

For a moment, a cautious expression appeared in many pairs of eyes in the hall.

"Is that you, Ye Xuan?"

In that instant when her attack was broken, Granny Ning recognized Ye Xuan, and her face showed both shock and joy. Naturally, she knew that the last time Ye Xuan had left, he went to the Demon Beast World. She thought it would be a long time before he returned; she had not expected him to come back so soon.

Her surprise was because Ye Xuan appeared here; as for the joy, it was because Ye Xuan now possessed such strength that he could casually negate the strike of a Supreme Elder.

"Granny Ning, nice to see you well."

Ye Xuan smiled and looked toward Granny Ning before bowing his hands to her.

"Ye Xuan, it’s really you! I didn’t expect that after such a long absence, you have grown to this extent upon your return."

Granny Ning’s eyes were full of incredulity. The current Ye Xuan was even somewhat unfathomable to her, despite her being only a step away from being a Half-step Martial Venerate. His progress surpassed even that of Nangong Yao, who possessed the Xuanyin Body.

It was hard to imagine how a youngster from the Tiannan Region could have grown so rapidly.

"Just made a little progress."

Ye Xuan did not want to dwell on this topic for too long. He shifted his gaze from Granny Ning to the pale-faced elder, and the smile on his face slowly faded as he scoffed coldly, "If I hadn’t come back now, perhaps certain people would have harmed Yaoer. Such a thing, I will never allow."

The current situation, undoubtedly, meant that the rumors he heard in the inn were true. This absurd marriage was actually a fact.

"Oh, so you are that Ye Xuan? I’ve heard your name. What, do you think just because you have some acquaintanceship with Yaoer, you can come and point fingers? You, a mere junior, are not qualified to meddle in this matter. This hall is where Xuanbing Mansion deliberates important affairs, not a place for you to barge into. Leave now - I can overlook the incident just now."

The pale-faced elder snorted coldly. He, as the esteemed Supreme Elder of Xuanbing Mansion, could not be threatened by a mere child like Ye Xuan.

"Not my place to meddle?"

Ye Xuan’s lips curled into a half-smile, half-smirk, and then a sharp gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes. He took two steps forward, staring directly at the pale-faced elder, "Old man, I’ll have you know, it was I who entrusted Yaoer to Xuanbing Mansion. Matters concerning Yaoer, I am more qualified to handle than you. Now I give you a chance: go to Snow Dragon Mountain yourself and call off this marriage. I will overlook the mistakes you’ve made before."

As his words echoed, the hall fell into utter silence.

The people of Xuanbing Mansion were somewhat shocked as they watched Ye Xuan, whose statement just came across as extremely arrogant. Although Ye Xuan had indeed displayed considerable strength just now, the pale-faced elder was still a Half-step Martial Venerate, a top-tier existence in Beichen Domain. For Ye Xuan, merely a Fifth Grade Martial Sect, to challenge such a master was truly too reckless.

"Ha ha, just now I only used a fraction of my strength, and unexpectedly that seemed to boost your confidence, youngster. Do you really think that I would be afraid of you? Take my move, the Great Solid Ice Palm!"

The pale-faced elder stomped on the ground and leapt up, white light gathering on his hand seal. When the light coalesced into a point, his palm struck down toward Ye Xuan below.

"It’s the Great Solid Ice Palm, it looks like the Supreme Elder is getting serious!"

"This Ye Xuan, so young and too sharp, doesn’t know how to restrain himself, he’s definitely going to suffer now."

Seeing that the pale-faced elder was using his proud Martial Art, the high-ranking members of Xuanbing Mansion were also extremely astonished.

Facing this hand seal that nearly twisted a large swathe of air, Ye Xuan remained calm and collected. His right hand reached behind, grabbing the hilt of the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword and suddenly drawing it. The moment the Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword was unsheathed, a dazzling blue light burst forth from Ye Xuan’s left waist, skyrocketing towards the pale-faced elder in midair. This blue light contained numerous blurred sword shadows that moved too fast for the naked eye to see; only with soul power could one roughly trace them.

Bang bang bang...

The white glow and the deep blue light collided together, exploding hundreds of times in an instant. This relentless Qi Force explosion could accelerate the heartbeat of any strong Martial Sect expert, causing severe injuries. An ordinary person, even from a distance, could have their heart burst and die.

"Such quick sword speed!"

The pale-faced elder’s palm was meant to explode in front of Ye Xuan, but the speed of Ye Xuan’s sword was even faster. Just as the hand seal was struck, the white light gathered in it burst into a violent explosion in mid-air, like ice exploding and sending shards everywhere.

"Take another move of mine, the Heavenly Cold Fist!"

After being countered by Ye Xuan, the pale-faced elder’s body tilted, and even before he could regain his balance, he threw a punch. With this punch, iciness swiftly filled a large void in front of him, turning into dozens of ice serpents, abruptly sweeping towards Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan did not retreat or yield, his left hand, hanging beside his waist, gripped the Spiritual Edge Sword and struck upwards in a counter-slash, pulling out a gorgeously brilliant arc of lightning.

Boom!

This clash was different than the previous one. The pale-faced elder’s punch force was directly split into two halves, the residual force, under Ye Xuan’s extremely fierce sword intent, incredibly curled back and swept towards the pale-faced elder.

"This youngster is tricky!"

The pale-faced elder burst out in cold sweat. Clearly, he had thrown the first punch, but the opponent’s reaction was far too quick, seemingly having been prepared beforehand. Moreover, that backhand sword was very uncomfortable for him; no sooner had his punch force gathered than it was scattered, cleaved, and even rolled back at him.

His moves were completely suppressed by Ye Xuan, and his flaws were seized and crushed in a single strike, which was his very own personal experience.

"This Ye Xuan is no ordinary individual, he’s easily thwarted the Supreme Elder’s two ultimate moves."

"Yes, so young yet possessing such skills, truly unexpected. However, the Supreme Elder surely has more than these two moves, it’s nearly impossible for Ye Xuan to win."

A genius is a genius; overcoming higher ranks isn’t too rare for them, as they are often the creators of miracles. Cultivation for them is not an impenetrable boundary. Of course, the observing elders don’t think the pale-faced elder is out of options, for the battle has just begun.

The residual punch force curled back and was shattered with a punch by the pale-faced elder, who looked at Ye Xuan with a cold expression and coldly said, "Good lad, no wonder you dare to talk to me like this, it turns out you do have some real skills. But don’t think I can’t handle you. Do you think I, who have lived for over two hundred years, cannot manage you, a green young kid?"

He was infuriated by Ye Xuan. If today he couldn’t even handle a young lad here, then there was no need for him to continue being a Supreme Elder.

"As the saying goes, the older, the more muddled. I think you are a prime example. Since you are so confident, then just bring it on."

Ye Xuan sheathed the Spiritual Edge Sword held in his left hand, using both swords just as his fighting instinct. To deal with this pale-faced elder, there really was no need; Ye Xuan had even killed a Demon Dragon Venerable, let alone a mere Half-step Martial Venerate, what was that to speak of?

Boom!

The pale-faced elder erupted, instantly extending a series of cold and white air streams around him. These icy air flows, like living creatures, fluctuated up and down, stretching hundreds of meters, seemingly turning everything within a hundred-meter radius into his domain. Once anyone entered this range, they had to endure the binding of these icy air flows.

Enveloped by these cold air flows, the pale-faced elder was like a tentacled monster. He roared, and those cold air flows immediately swept out, enveloping Ye Xuan within them.

"Ice Chamber Seal!"

Those icy air flows descended from the sky, sealing the surroundings around Ye Xuan, as if a giant ice chamber, imprisoning Ye Xuan within, cutting off the connection between nature’s spiritual energy and Ye Xuan. The icy air Qi Force ferociously attacked Ye Xuan, intending to freeze and trap him to death inside.
