Chapter 577: Chapter 571: Tremor

"Who is this arrogant kid?"

"I’ve never seen him, could he be that Ye Xuan? The helper our Lin family hired?"

"That’s too unreliable, he’s so young, what capabilities could he have? How could he possibly confront Ximen Ying."

"It looks hopeless this time."

As soon as Ye Xuan appeared, whisperings erupted around the square, and inquisitive gazes continuously swept over him.

Hearing these words, Lin Xiong and the others, who already had little confidence, felt even more disheartened, as if there was no hope left.

"It seems the Lin family is out of options, to have randomly found a nobody. This sort of fellow probably couldn’t last a single move under Brother Ximen." Behind Ximen Ying, Chenn Xuan stepped forward, his face filled with mockery.

Beside Ximen Ying, the old man, who had initially ignored the external commotion, also glanced at Ye Xuan after he appeared and suddenly a look of surprise emerged in his eyes.

"This kid, I actually can’t see through him; I don’t know where the Lin family found such a helper." The man in a black robe suddenly spoke, his hoarse voice carrying through the air.

"How is that possible? I’ve seen that kid before. He’s just Lin Wan’s flunky," Chenn Xuan said in astonishment.

"You’re doubting my ability?"

The man in the black robe glanced at Chenn Xuan, his eyes chilling to the point where Chenn couldn’t help but shiver.

"I wouldn’t dare. What right do I have to question Master Qian?"

The man in the black robe in front of them was not just any old man; he was an Alchemy Master specially invited by Ximen Ying from Spirit Light Domain, and was known as the top Alchemist there.

The status of an Alchemist, no matter where or when, was always prominent because only those with great soul talent could become an Alchemist, not to mention that this black-robed elder’s Alchemy Skill had reached an extremely high level.

In the Spirit Martial Continent, and even in Spirit Light Domain, Alchemists were a powerful group, and in the Central Domain, there was a Seventh Grade force known as Shendan City, whose City Lord, rumored to be a formidable Holy-grade Alchemy Master, was not particularly strong, but his divine Alchemy Skill was enough to make many powerful beings willingly follow him.

Even the Ximen family wouldn’t dare offend this Master Qian, let alone his small Chenn family.

"An Alchemist?"

Sensing the probe from the black-robed elder, Ye Xuan, after a slight sensing, could guess the other’s identity. A powerful Alchemist must possess strong soul power, and this black-robed elder’s soul power had also nearly reached the Late Stage Heavenly Realm, just a step away from perfection.

Additionally, from the black-robed elder’s body, a subtle fiery fluctuation could be felt—a sign of flames. Moreover, according to Ye Xuan’s keen intuition, the black-robed elder possessed a very powerful Beast Fire.

Beast Fire, also known as a type of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire, not only had the power to destroy heaven and earth but was also used in Alchemy to craft higher-level Pills, such as the Phoenix’s Nirvana Fire and the True Dragon Fire from the Dragon Clan, both of which were immensely powerful flames.

"Who are you, sir?"

After being prompted by Master Qian, Ximen Ying also looked at Ye Xuan with a bit more significance in his eyes, "This is a matter between me and the Lin family, I kindly ask you not to interfere."

His tone, obviously polite and entirely different from the earlier cold demeanor towards Lin Xiong and the others.

"Could this Ye Xuan really possess some extraordinary abilities?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiong and others were momentarily stunned. Someone who could make Ximen Ying take him so seriously was probably rare among the young generation in Spirit Light Domain, like Chenn Xuan, who claimed to be Ximen Ying’s sworn brother but was probably not really regarded highly by the latter.

Even Lin Xiong, the Family Head of the Lin family, was probably seen as insignificant by Ximen Ying, just like an ant.

Hearing this, they began to worry. Would Ye Xuan back down in the face of such polite words from Ximen Ying?

"I have some connections with the Lin family; I cannot simply ignore this situation."

Ye Xuan shook his head, his reply rather straightforward," Besides, the Lin family, a Fourth Grade small family, should seem insignificant in your eyes, Brother Ximen, why not let them off?"

Seeing that Ximen Ying didn’t seem like an unreasonable person, if matters could be settled by normal means, there was no need to force a confrontation.

"I’m giving you face by talking this much. If it were someone else, they would already be dead by my hand. I’ll give you three seconds to disappear from my sight, or else I can’t guarantee what will happen next," Ximen Ying clearly had no intention of explaining in detail to Ye Xuan, nor did he believe Ye Xuan was worth it. His earlier politeness didn’t mean he was afraid.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan smiled, a glint flashing in his eyes as he calmly responded, "I’m afraid I must decline."

"You’re courting death!"

Not far away, Chenn Xuan grinned, a cruel smile appearing on his face. This kid really doesn’t know how to appreciate kindness; he won’t cry until he sees his own coffin.

"I understand."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Ximen Ying’s eyes, and he harbored a killing intent towards Ye Xuan, as True Yuan also began to surge around him.

"Let’s not rush to take action. I’ll meet this guy first."

Before Ximen Ying made a move, Master Qian had already dashed out, landing about ten meters in front of Ye Xuan.

"This kid managed to capture Master Qian’s interest?"

Watching this scene, Ximen Ying also furrowed his brow. During the time he had invited Master Qian, he had come to understand the latter’s personality somewhat; aside from matters related to Alchemy, he was almost indifferent to everything else. How could he suddenly be so interested in an unknown kid today?

Could it be that this kid possessed some extraordinary qualities that even he couldn’t see?

In the center of the square, Master Qian looked directly at Ye Xuan, and after sizing him up, it seemed as though he had confirmed his thoughts. He spoke with an inquiring tone, resonating across the square, "Young man, are you also an Alchemist?"

With that statement, the square suddenly grew much quieter. Many who were whispering among themselves were stunned upon hearing his words, then shockingly looked at Ye Xuan.

An Alchemist? So young?

"Is this Ye Xuan actually an Alchemist?"

Lin Xiong and Chenn Xuan, among others, also looked astonished. They knew, if Ye Xuan were just a low-level Alchemist, Master Qian would not have shown such keen interest. This indicated that Ye Xuan’s level as an Alchemist was not low, most likely hitting at least the level of a Supreme Grade Alchemist.
