Chapter 403: Chapter 400 News from Snow Dragon Mountain

Southern Star Domain, Snow Dragon Mountain.

Within the realm of the Human Clan in the Chaotic Sea Domain, aside from some scattered islands, the main parts were divided into three large areas—the Central Domain, Southern Star Domain, and Beichen Domain.

Among these territories, the Central Domain was the largest, followed by the Southern Star Domain, and finally the Beichen Domain.

In the Southern Star Domain, the Snow Dragon Mountain held the greatest power, rivaled in the entire Chaotic Sea Domain by only one other Sect, the Divine Intent Sect.

As the ruler of the Southern Star Domain, Snow Dragon Mountain was located on a huge island, most of which was covered in steep peaks. These peaks, perpetually snow-clad, were interconnected like a massive mountain range, resembling the shape of a dragon vein.

On the highest peak there, a palace seemingly constructed from ice and snow proudly stood. In front of that palace, two tall figures stood with their hands behind their backs, overlooking the stretching mountain ranges.

The two people, one tall and the other slightly shorter, were both clad in white robes embroidered with powerful dragon patterns.

These two were none other than Wei Wujiu, the Sect Master of Snow Dragon Mountain, and his son, Wei Qianxiang, the Young Master of Snow Dragon Mountain.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Wei Wujiu’s gaze sharpened, noticing a barely visible dot on the horizon.

Soon, the dot enlarged and approached above the palace—it was a snow eagle, approximately a foot in size, moving at an astonishing speed.

Screech!

The snow eagle circled a few times before landing on his hand.

Wei Wujiu pulled out a rolled-up piece of paper from the eagle, unfolded it, and revealed a half-smile, "Interesting."

"What’s the matter, Father? Who sent the message?"

Wei Qianxiang, standing next to him, asked with some surprise.

"Who else could it be but that old man, Zhonghang Wang? He actually wrote to say that he wants to call off his engagement with our Snow Dragon Mountain." Wei Wujiu’s palm emitted a force, instantly pulverizing the piece of paper into ash.

"What? This old man dares to renege? We have given him great benefits. Does he wish for death? Even though he’s the Supreme Elder of Xuanbing Mansion, in front of our Snow Dragon Mountain, Xuanbing Mansion is nothing. How dare he go back on his word?"

Hearing this, Wei Qianxiang’s expression suddenly darkened. Although rumors had painted him as a gentle and humble gentleman, that was merely a facade meant for outsiders. His true nature was vindictive and tyrannical. Now, with only his father present, there was no need to pretend.

"Don’t worry, this old man isn’t truly trying to renege. He is actually being forced by a youngster named Ye Xuan and has no choice. This message, though ostensibly about calling off the engagement, is actually a plea for our help to get rid of his trouble," Wei Wujiu said with a light smile, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"Just a youngster?"

Wei Qianxiang frowned, "That old man is a Half-step Martial Venerate at least. Even a normal Martial Sect Master Realm practitioner should pose no threat to him, let alone be coerced by some young boy. Could this be just an excuse from him?"

"It shouldn’t be. The marriage would benefit us both; he wouldn’t back out now." Wei Wujiu pondered for a moment and then looked toward Wei Qianxiang, "How about this, you take some men to the Beichen Domain and see what’s going on. If that old fool really is in trouble, deal with it. Also, bring back your fiancée to prevent further complications."

"Yes, Father."

A gleam of anticipation flashed in Wei Qianxiang’s eyes. He was eager to bring over his betrothed. He had heard that his fiancée was exceptionally beautiful. More importantly, she possessed the Xuanyin Body, which was similar to his Innate Ice Spirit Body but even more special. If he married Nangong Yao, he would surely gain many benefits.

Currently, he was a Seventh Grade Martial Sect in terms of cultivation, but his strength was such that many Half-step Martial Venerates could not match him, including Zhonghang Wang.

Among the young generation in the Chaotic Sea Domain, his strength was considered top-tier, with only the Young Master of Divine Intent Sect, Lian Yunsheng, posing a slight threat.

A mere youngster was nothing to worry about. Wei Qianxiang speculated that this must be a trial imposed by the people of Xuanbing Mansion, attempting to disrupt the marriage. But they were underestimating him—Wei Qianxiang was no ordinary man, and it was laughable to think someone could threaten him with such ease.

...

Xuanbing Mansion.

Seven days had passed.

In a courtyard rich with spiritual energy.

"Brother Ye Xuan, the matter of canceling the engagement isn’t solely up to me. We also need approval from Snow Dragon Mountain. I have already sent a message to them. In a day or two, an emissary from Snow Dragon Mountain will arrive here to formally dissolve the marriage arrangement with Miss Nangong. You can be assured of that."

Zhonghang Wang looked at the slim figure before him, a radiant smile adorning his face.

"Alright, I’ve got it. You may go now."

Ye Xuan nodded slightly, still cultivating with his eyes closed, not paying much attention to Zhonghang Wang.

"Then continue your cultivation at ease, old man will not disturb you further."

The smile on Zhonghang Wang’s face remained intense. He gave a bow to Ye Xuan and then turned to leave.

However, as soon as he turned around, the smile on his face abruptly vanished, replaced by a sneer.

He estimated that in a day or two, Wei Qianxiang would also arrive, and at that time, Ye Xuan’s good days would come to an end.

Now, let him be complacent for a couple of days. Once Wei Qianxiang arrives, the humiliation he is feeling now must be repaid tenfold by Ye Xuan.

He, a Supreme Elder of the Fourth Grade Sect, had to grovel and speak kindly to a mere child—absurd!

Once Zhonghang Wang had left, Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes, watching his retreating figure with a hint of coldness flickering in his eyes.

"This old man definitely won’t let things go so easily. He must still have some tricks up his sleeve. Brother Ye Xuan, you must be extra careful."

Just as Zhonghang Wang had barely left, Nangong Yao and Little Xi arrived. The former, looking at the fading figure of Zhonghang Wang, also spoke somewhat indignantly.

"I know, this old man must have sought help from Snow Dragon Mountain. The emissary coming from Snow Dragon Mountain probably isn’t simple. The person definitely isn’t coming here just to cancel the engagement but to deal with me."

Right from the start, Ye Xuan had nearly guessed the entirety of the situation; this old fox wouldn’t give in so easily. Moreover, even if Zhonghang Wang were to submit, the people from Snow Dragon Mountain certainly wouldn’t be so easy to negotiate with. The marriage was set, and it wasn’t something that could be canceled on a whim, given the prestige of Snow Dragon Mountain.

This matter wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

"Ah? Then, what should we do?"

Nangong Yao’s pretty face changed, she hadn’t thought that far, but hearing Ye Xuan, it suddenly seemed very likely, and she became somewhat flustered. She didn’t want to marry Wei Qianxiang; not only had she never met him, but even if she had, she wouldn’t marry him, regardless of how renowned he was—what did that have to do with her?

"Why don’t we just run away now? Leave Xuanbing Mansion and hide somewhere no one knows?"

"Hide away?"

Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head, "The Chaotic Sea Domain isn’t too small to mention, but also not too vast. With the influence of Snow Dragon Mountain, there’s nowhere we could hide where they couldn’t find us, unless we cross the Stormy Sea Domain and go to the Demon Beast World, living among the Demon Clan. Perhaps then we could avoid this calamity."

"Demon Beast World?" Nangong Yao’s face changed again, and she soon pondered seriously, quickly making up her mind, biting her lip hard, "Demon Beast World it is then, as long as we can avoid this marriage, anywhere is fine."

"Yaoer, I heard that Wei Qianxiang is quite the catch, being the Young Master of Snow Dragon Mountain and a young hero known across the world. Think about it carefully, maybe you’ll change your mind."

Ye Xuan’s gaze hardened slightly as he stared at Nangong Yao.

"What rubbish are you talking about? No matter how good his conditions are, I won’t marry him!" Nangong Yao glared fiercely at Ye Xuan.

"Why?" Ye Xuan suddenly asked.

"Why... There are no ’whys’ here, I just won’t marry. If it were you, would you marry a woman you don’t know? Would you like it?"

"That might require some thought—who knows if she might just be my type." Ye Xuan showed a very serious expression, stroking his chin and speaking as if it were a matter of great consequence.

"You!" Nangong Yao was so angry she was at a loss for words. She promptly turned around, no longer paying attention to Ye Xuan.

"Alright, I was just joking. Don’t worry, since you don’t want to marry, no one can force you; no one has that right."

Ye Xuan walked up and patted Nangong Yao’s fragrant shoulder, his facial expression then became taut, speaking indifferently.

Hearing this, Nangong Yao’s face looked better, and Ye Xuan’s words also warmed her heart. She had thought maybe after so long without seeing each other, Ye Xuan might not care for her as before, but it seemed there was no need for such worries. Ye Xuan was still her Brother Ye Xuan, unchanged.

After speaking a few more words with Nangong Yao, she left reassured. In the yard, Ye Xuan remained alone, tranquilly absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, cultivating in silence.

Ye Xuan held a Spirit Crystal in his hand, running the Hidden Dragon Skill. His body’s acupoints, like dragon mouths, greedily absorbed the pure spiritual energy from the Spirit Crystals, which were exceptionally easy to absorb. Now, after coming out from the Undersea Ancient Cave Mansion, he had around seventy to eighty thousand Spirit Crystals on him. Originally dividing over fifty thousand, and gaining more than twenty thousand from Sima Xin, this number of Spirit Crystals was sufficient to meet his cultivation needs.
