Chapter 575: Chapter 569: Responding

"Exchange pointers?"

Lin Xiong was taken aback for a moment, then sized up Ye Xuan and decisively shook his head, "The strength of Ximen Ying is not something that Chenn Xuan and the like can compare with; engaging him in a frontal battle would be an extremely unwise move."

Hearing Ye Xuan make such a statement, Lin Xiong couldn’t help but inwardly sigh at the other’s youthful recklessness. Who was Ximen Ying, after all? Those qualified to exchange pointers with him were considered top-tier geniuses of the Spirit Light Domain.

"Father, Ye Xuan is not as weak as you think. In the Blood River Valley, he defeated a Seventh Grade Demon Venerable-level Blood Python by himself, and even the Young Sect Leader Yin Zongli of the Great Wilderness Sect fell to his hands," knowing what Lin Xiong was thinking, Lin Wan smiled and shook her head.

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing these words, Lin Xiong was completely stunned. He looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief, still finding it difficult to accept what Lin Wan had said. Yin Zongli’s strength ranked among the top-tier of the younger generation in the Spirit Light Domain. Although not on par with Ximen Ying, Yin Zongli was still a distinguished and outstanding young expert. And to mention that Ye Xuan had also defeated a Seventh Grade Demon Venerable-level Blood Python.

Lin Xiong had been unaware until now, and the revelation shocked him. If Lin Wan hadn’t mentioned it, he couldn’t have imagined that the slightly slender young man before him held such terrifying battle achievements.

"Please forgive Lin’s poor judgment. In light of this, Lin family owes you a great debt of gratitude, Brother Ye Xuan. If there’s anything my Lin family can do, just say the word."

These past days, Lin Xiong had been planning to seek out powerful individuals with past connections to the Lin family, hoping to find someone who could help them through their crisis. But now, with the sudden appearance of Ye Xuan, it seemed like a blessing had fallen from the sky, and there was no need to look for other experts.

"That won’t be necessary; for the next few days, just focus on preparing your defenses and guarding against surprise attacks from the Chenn family," Ye Xuan waved his hand. The Lin family, a Fourth Grade family, had nothing of use to him. ’Give even a Buddha a push,’ as the saying goes – he would help Lin Wan one more time before his departure.

"Alright."

Lin Xiong was extremely cautious. Ye Xuan, without a doubt, was now the Lin family’s lifeline. Whether the Lin family could survive this crisis hinged entirely on him.

"Waner, you and your companions must be tired from your long journey. Quickly take Brother Ye Xuan to the main house to rest," Lin Xiong signaled Lin Wan with a glance.

"Ye Xuan, come with me."

Feeling somewhat speechless at Lin Xiong’s subtle gesture, Lin Wan knew what kind of person Ye Xuan was. Since he had promised to help, he certainly wouldn’t back out halfway.

After the two left, Lin Xiong finally took a deep breath, as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

"Clan Leader, I’ve never heard of the name Ye Xuan in the Spirit Light Domain before. Do you really think he can stand up to Ximen Ying?"

At that moment, an elder of the Lin family stepped forward with furrowed brows and asked.

"I don’t know. Based solely on Waner’s account, no one knows the true extent of Ye Xuan’s strength. But we don’t have other options; we can only hope for the best in a desperate situation," Lin Xiong replied. Though he trusted his daughter, he couldn’t completely believe that an unknown individual could contest the renowned Ximen Ying.

Without any other solution at the moment, they could only take it step by step and for now, tentatively trust in Ye Xuan’s abilities.

...

In a tidy guest room in the backyard of the Lin family house, after sending Lin Wan out, Ye Xuan closed the door and also let out a sigh of relief. To be honest, if not for Lin Wan’s sake, he had no wish to get involved in the affair between the Lin and Chenn families.

"The Ximen family is a Sixth Grade force; surely, they have Semi-Saint Strong People in their ranks. Not that I’m wary of such experts, but I’ve already made enemies with the Great Wilderness Sect; adding the Ximen family to my list of enemies would not bode well."

In a Sixth Grade force, there must be Semi-Saint Strong People, and possibly even genuine Martial Saint Strong People. If the situation escalated and alerted the Emperor Xi Sect in the Central Domain, Ye Xuan would have no good days ahead.

Although Ye Xuan sought to settle his account with the Sound Saint, now was not the time. If he revealed himself before them now, it could well be suicidal.

"However, there’s no need to be overly cautious. If the Ximen family truly becomes aggressive, as a last resort, I will have to make the worst-case plans."

Ye Xuan was stirring up quite a commotion, offending two major Sixth Grade forces as soon as he arrived in the Spirit Light Domain. Though the reach of the Emperor Xi Sect should not extend here, it was still better to be cautious.

With a silent sigh, Ye Xuan brushed aside these thoughts. He was not one for hesitation, and he lived by a clear code of repaying both debts of gratitude and vengeance. Lin Wan had once saved his life, and while he had nearly repaid that debt, he couldn’t ignore her troubles, even if the cost was making an enemy of a Sixth Grade force.

"Once this matter is resolved, I will not return to Dragon Sword Island. Before the preliminaries for the Continent’s Son begin, I’ll strive for another breakthrough in strength."

Ye Xuan’s face grew stern. The trial of the Continent’s Son was an immense event for the younger generation of the Spirit Martial Continent, unparalleled by any other gathering.

The geniuses contending for the title of Continent’s Son were in the millions. While Ye Xuan had made significant progress, claiming that title would require surpassing a considerable distance.

The immediate priority was to secure first place in the preliminaries and then move on to the final trial of the Continent’s Son.

Only by becoming the Continent’s Son could one acquire the fortunes of the Spirit Martial Continent, laying the groundwork for breaking through to Martial Saint and even advancing to the Martial Emperor level.

"I’ll focus on cultivation for now. After the recent breakthrough in my bloodline, my soul power seems to have improved... Perhaps I can capitalize on this opportunity for further gains."

Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes and lifted his palm. Then, a light quickly converged in his hand, forming a red and white flame that radiated unpredictable, odd fluctuations of hot and cold.

"The perfect fusion of these two Spiritual Fires relies on the refinement of soul power. Now, inversely, this fused Spiritual Fire can also temper soul power, promoting its advancement."

As Ye Xuan observed the erratic flames before him, his forehead suddenly flickered. An invisible force began to spread across the room.

As Ye Xuan settled into meditation, the fluctuations around him grew more intense. Minutes later, the furnishings in the room, including a wooden table and books, floated into the air and hung motionless.

The entire guest room entered into this strange state, as if time itself had stopped.
