Chapter 544: Chapter 539: The New Frontier

The boundless Spirit Martial Continent.

The war that erupted at Xuantian Sect caused a great stir in the Yunlan Domain, leaving countless warriors shocked. However, for the entire Spirit Martial Continent, it was still considered a minor event, akin to a giant wave in the vast ocean, having little impact.

Across the Spirit Martial Continent, there were as many as nine Spirit Domains, and the Yunlan Domain was the weakest of them all—a third-rate domain that hardly anyone paid attention to.

In the west of the continent, one of the nine domains, lay the Spirit Light Domain.

Hum.

Above a deserted expanse of water, space suddenly tore open, unleashing a destructive aura that tossed the waters into chaos.

Following the rend in space, a figure was hurled out and crashed heavily into the water, causing colossal waves.

The figure was none other than Ye Xuan, who had been transported from the Yunlan Domain.

Previously, as the transport portal had activated, the interference from Sound Saint had nearly triggered a collapse of the spatial channel, almost engulfing him in the endless void. Fortunately, Ye Xuan was protected by his Martial Arts Primordial Spirit, which, in that critical moment, safeguarded his body and prevented him from being swept away by the spatial turbulence.

Yet the power of the spatial turbulence still grievously wounded Ye Xuan, nearly tearing his body to shreds. His body was covered in bloodstains, with some wounds so deep that his internal organs could almost be seen writhing beneath his skin.

"It seems... I’ve managed to cling to life."

A breath of foul air slowly exhaled from Ye Xuan’s throat, whereupon he clenched his palm and realized with some panic that his body was extremely weak...

Straining to use the last vestiges of his strength to prevent his body from sinking, Ye Xuan quickly performed an inner view and saw the messy state within—his meridians showed signs of being twisted and broken. This injury level was truly terrifying.

Ye Xuan’s consciousness sank into his Dantian, where two Martial Souls floated, but the light swirling around them was so dim it was as if they were about to dissipate entirely.

"I didn’t expect to be hurt so badly... Damn Emperor Xi Sect..."

Ye Xuan’s heart sank a little, realizing that his injuries were exceedingly severe. An ordinary person would probably have been left crippled for life due to such injuries.

This grudge, he would one day settle with Emperor Xi Sect. He would not let go of Ling Yu Saint and Sound Saint.

Luckily, his physical body was far from ordinary, and his possession of Quasi-Saint Demon Clan bloodline allowed his body to recover at an extraordinary rate. Hence, though the injuries were severe, given some time, his recovery was not impossible.

But the immediate priority was to find a place to heal. With his current state, even an average person could easily come over and kill him.

"I wonder where this is."

Ye Xuan’s consciousness gradually withdrew from within his body, his brow slightly furrowed. He was extremely vulnerable at present, his soul power barely covering an area of about ten meters around him, almost non-existent.

"The injuries are severe, but with some rest, I should be able to muster a bit of True Yuan, which will at least give me a bit of ability to protect myself," he thought, and his heart eased slightly. No matter what, he was not completely incapable of action.

"I wonder how the people from Shen Luo and Xuantian Sect are doing now."

Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed once again. Shen Luo had teleported him out amidst a crisis, undoubtedly fulfilling her duty, and it had moved him deeply. If anything untoward happened to her, he would certainly massacre everyone at Emperor Xi Sect. As for the people of Xuantian Sect, their prospects were probably grim. Given the ruthless nature of Sound Saint, it was likely he would vent his fury through a spree of vicious slaughter.

"It’s time to leave."

Ye Xuan planned to leave the area first, but just as he was preparing to depart, he found himself completely immobilized, without even a shred of strength left.

"This is rather troublesome..."

The situation was worse than Ye Xuan had imagined. He struggled to take a deep breath, then gradually shifted his body ever so slightly, inching in a certain direction.

The pace was excruciatingly slow, but Ye Xuan had no better options. He could only move bit by bit, hoping his luck would hold and he wouldn’t encounter any Demon Beasts at this time.

However, before long, Ye Xuan felt something hook around his body and started to be slowly dragged away.

"This is bad."

Ye Xuan was naturally aware of the abnormality with his body, and he realized he had been caught by something—likely he had encountered someone.

Just as he was internally cursing his luck, the pulling force suddenly intensified, and a wave of water spread over him, causing his entire body to become dizzy and pass out.

...

When Ye Xuan woke up again, he found himself lying on a wooden bed.

As he regained consciousness, a wave of dizziness hit Ye Xuan, and he rubbed his temples before his vision finally began to clear somewhat.

What caught his eye was a simple wooden hut, showing signs of wear but with a tidy setup and a refreshing fragrance permeating the air. Predictably, this room belonged to a girl.

"Seems like my luck isn’t too bad after all."

Ye Xuan had initially been concerned for his safety, but now he felt somewhat relieved. Whoever he had encountered didn’t seem to be a villain; otherwise, they would have had the perfect opportunity to harm him while he was unconscious.

Now, looking at his circumstances, not only had no harm come to him, but his severe injuries had been bandaged, and ointment had been applied.

Creak.

As these thoughts flickered through Ye Xuan’s mind, the closed door was gently pushed open, and his gaze immediately sharpened, shooting towards the opening.

The door opened, and a slender figure made her appearance in Ye Xuan’s line of sight. She was a young girl clothed in homespun fabric, with delicate features that were lovely, even without adornment. However, a conspicuous red blotch marred her right cheek—an injury clearly inflicted by someone, which significantly detracted from her beauty.

Upon entering, the girl quickly noticed Ye Xuan with his eyes open. Under his gaze, she involuntarily turned her injured side away, then softly said, "You’re awake?"

Watching the girl’s actions, a smile emerged on Ye Xuan’s face as he nodded. Now he could finally confirm that he was no longer in a dangerous situation...

"Thank you, miss, for your rescue. I will never forget this kindness."

Ye Xuan bowed to the girl, showing a sincere smile of gratitude, "But may I ask, where exactly am I?"
