Chapter 559: Chapter 554: Gathering from All Sides

By the time Ye Xuan and Lin Wan arrived deep within Blood River Valley, the frequency of figures surrounding them had increased, and among these figures were some with powerful auras, indicating their strength was by no means weak.

On Lin Wan’s somewhat cold and beautiful face, a serious look appeared as her gaze swept over several places at the foot of the mountains, her finely arched eyebrows involuntarily furrowing.

Whoosh Whoosh!

Just then, several sounds of something tearing through the air passed close by, as seven or eight men dressed in black robes overtook them and disappeared into the distance.

"Did you see the group that just passed?"

Ye Xuan looked in the direction Lin Wan pointed, only to see in the distance that at the forefront of the seven or eight figures was a rather tall man dressed in a robe adorned with a gray eagle pattern.

"That’s the Demon Hawk Group," Lin Wan said. "The leader, named Wei Ying, is the head of the Demon Hawk Group. Rumors claim he’s a supreme expert within the Sixth Grade Martial Venerate Realm."

Ye Xuan nodded slightly. In recent days, he had also learned a great deal about the Spirit Light Domain. Although the most powerful forces in this region were two Sixth Grade Sects and three Sixth Grade families, the Demon Hawk Group was also a force to be reckoned with in the Spirit Light Domain, not much weaker than those five major powers. They only fell short somewhat in heritage.

The Spirit Light Domain was not like the Yunlan Domain, where essentially every force below the three major Sixth Grade Sects had no choice but to look up to these three sects, fundamentally devoid of the power to rebel or resist. It was different in the Spirit Light Domain; even the five major powers couldn’t completely dominate, and they could only be considered more influential than other factions.

"That direction... seems to have someone quite troublesome." Ye Xuan quickened his pace and then alighted atop a boulder, his gaze first turning towards the right front. There, on a large rock, sat a man in gray clothes quietly in meditation. With no traces of others around him, it was clear he was alone. Yet for a lone ranger to dare to come here and compete with many for the Spirit Fruits, he clearly wasn’t an easy opponent.

Lin Wan, observing the man in gray, her expression turning grave, said, "That guy is the renowned Shadowless Knife Expert. He hasn’t joined any powers, but in the Spirit Light Domain, he holds considerable fame. He’s also stepped into the realm of the Sixth Grade Martial Venerable. However, it’s said that he once crossed blades with an Elder of the Great Wilderness Sect, a Seventh Grade Martial Venerate, and managed to walk away unscathed."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, an expression of surprise flickered across Ye Xuan’s eyes. His gaze swept over the man in gray, who seemed to sense Ye Xuan’s attention and turned his gaze. Their eyes quickly met.

From those eyes of the Shadowless Knife Expert, a sharp, blade-like look burst forth, as if it intended to pierce through the gaze and erode Ye Xuan’s soul, an invisible ripple shooting straight towards Ye Xuan through the air.

Pop...

The ripple approached at an incredibly fast speed, but just as it was about half a meter from Ye Xuan’s face, it suddenly collapsed and dissipated.

"Hmm?"

Surprise flickered in the eyes of the Shadowless Knife Expert, but he made no further moves. With a swift motion, he left Ye Xuan and Lin Wan’s line of sight.

"Shadowless Knife Expert, his blade intent is indeed extraordinary..." Ye Xuan murmured to himself. Excelling most in fighting above his level, he was also keenly aware of what that required. Considering this gray-clothed man could achieve such a feat, he must have some hidden techniques at his disposal.

The blade intent that had just been unleashed by the adversary would have likely caused dark injuries to an ordinary Fourth Grade Martial Venerate.

"Rumors say that the Shadowless Bladesman kills unseen and has a violent disposition and cruel methods. I didn’t expect him to actually back down," Lin Wan said, slowly exhaling a breath of air upon seeing the Shadowless Bladesman retreat. She was also somewhat astonished by Ye Xuan. Even such a vicious person hadn’t dared to act aggressively in front of Ye Xuan.

"The Dragon Blood lies just ahead in the Dragon Blood Pond. I don’t think anyone wants to waste their energy needlessly right now," Ye Xuan shook his head. Everyone was here for the Dragon Blood, and even the Shadowless Bladesman was probably no exception. The latter had only probed to find out that Ye Xuan was no ordinary man and lacked the confidence to defeat Ye Xuan easily, hence opting to withdraw.

However, the current Ye Xuan was not even afraid of a genuine Seventh Grade Martial Venerate, let alone a Shadowless Bladesman who was just barely comparable to a Seventh Grade Martial Venerate.

"It seems there’s a fight ahead."

As Ye Xuan and Lin Wan moved forward, a series of noisy sounds also reached their ears.

"Should we avoid it?"

Lin Wan slightly furrowed her brow. These kinds of battles were all too common in the Blood River Valley, and the best approach was usually to steer clear and not get involved.

"Avoiding is naturally no problem. However, it seems there’s someone you know among them." Just then, Ye Xuan had already used his soul power to scout ahead, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"A familiar person, who?" Lin Wan asked with some surprise.

"We’ll know if we go and see."

Without saying more, Ye Xuan took the lead, dashing forward and disappearing ahead. Lin Wan could only stamp her foot in frustration before quickly following.

...

"Heh heh, a few small fries daring to compete with Brother Bai for treasures really are tired of living. This is your own doing; you can’t blame anyone else."

In the clearing, there were about a dozen figures, split into two groups. One faction wore white clothes, all adorned with a fierce tiger pattern, radiating an aggressive momentum. Leading them was a white-haired man with hair as thick and spiky as needles, exuding an extremely domineering and beast-like aura. The other group consisted of several young men and women, spearheaded by a beautiful red-dressed woman. If Lin Wan were here, she would surely recognize her – it was none other than Wu Qianqian, who had lost a duel to her not long ago.

This team belonged to Dragon Sword Island, and there was Du Cang among them.

"This Blood Mist Grass was discovered by us first. It seems you are the ones who are snatching it," a Dragon Sword Island disciple retorted with dissatisfaction.

As soon as his voice fell, Wu Qianqian hurriedly extended her jade hand and then looked apologetically at the opposing white-haired man, "I’m sorry, my fellow disciple is ignorant. We don’t want the Blood Mist Grass anymore. We hope you can allow us to leave out of consideration for Dragon Sword Island."

"Dragon Sword Island? A mere Fifth Grade Sect is nothing in front of the Ao family," the white-haired man said with a contemptuous expression, then his gaze turned lascivious as he looked at Wu Qianqian, "Let you go? Of course, but you have to stay and play with us."

Finishing his words, he vanished from the spot in a flash, his blurred figure rapidly closing in on Wu Qianqian.
