119: Chapter 119 Pleading 119: Chapter 119 Pleading In the meeting room.

Only two people remained behind, one was Azure Dragon, and the second was Xue Ji, both of whom could be said to be rather close to Ye Xuan.

The relationship between Azure Dragon and him needed no mention, while Xue Ji, because of Liu Baiyi, naturally stood on Ye Xuan’s side.

At this moment.

Azure Dragon’s face was full of guilt, as half a year had passed, and due to the emergence of the Blood Soul Strange Beasts, he had been constantly fighting across various lands and had no time to investigate the true mastermind behind the scenes, which also made him feel ashamed when facing Ye Xuan.

“Mr.

Ye, it’s Azure Dragon who has been useless, making you take matters into your own hands to resolve the issue,” Azure Dragon bowed deeply, his words filled with guilt.

“You need not blame yourself, you’re not at fault for this matter, after all, Tian Yu and others have always harbored dissatisfaction towards me.

How could they allow Wu’an Office to wholeheartedly investigate the actual culprit for my sake?” Ye Xuan replied with a smile.

“Mr.

Ye, why didn’t you just kill them earlier?” Xue Ji asked with doubt in her face, as she was very clear about what kind of person Ye Xuan was, prompting her to voice her query.

“I am a person who talks reason, and I am not one to kill innocently.

Although they are dissatisfied with me, they haven’t yet driven me to the point of harboring a killing intent,” Ye Xuan replied with a faint smile.

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the three people present all had a peculiar look in their eyes.

If someone else were to say this, they wouldn’t find it strange, but hearing such words from Ye Xuan, they found it to be utterly fantastical.

It was no wonder the three felt this way, the side Ye Xuan had shown was decisively lethal, far from a person who was soft-hearted and lenient.

Although the three harbored doubts, they did not ask further.

“Mr.

Ye, my master sent me to deliver something to you,” said Xue Ji as she took out a piece of jade and handed it to Ye Xuan, who casually accepted it.

Without Xue Ji having to make it explicit, Ye Xuan knew that this piece of jade was something Liu Baiyi had entrusted her with.

Fondling the jade, Ye Xuan’s eyes briefly lit up, then he tucked the jade into his chest, saying, “Please thank Brother Liu for me, and tell him that I have always kept the promise I once made in my heart.”

“My master says Mr.

Ye is a true dragon among men, who will surely ascend to the Nine Heavens.

Forging a good relationship with Mr.

Ye today is a blessing for our lineage,” Xue Ji bowed deeply.

Their conversation left Azure Dragon somewhat puzzled; he had never known that the leader of the Desolate Group even had a master, but he refrained from interjecting too much, as it was Xue Ji’s own secret.

“Mr.

Ye, the world is in turmoil now, with terrifying behemoths rampaging globally, and Xia Country cannot be an exception.

Your martial arts are extraordinary, if you could…”

Before Azure Dragon could finish, Ye Xuan raised his hand to interrupt, his expression turning solemn as he said, “Azure Dragon, out of consideration for the relationship between us, there is something I must tell you.”

“The true terror is not these behemoths, but the Blood Souls lurking in the Human World, unseen and intangible.

They might be right beside you without your knowledge.

As time goes by, they will continually devour blood essence and their cultivation will grow stronger.

In the future, they will reveal their true ferocity and bring an unimaginable calamity to this world.”

“I offer you this piece of advice, leave Wu’an Office early and live out the rest of your life in peace.

Don’t go fighting against these Blood Soul Exotic Beasts, because humanity simply cannot stop their advance.”

As Ye Xuan’s words entered his ears, Azure Dragon’s face changed dramatically; he could fully sense from Ye Xuan’s tone that Mr.

Ye seemed to have a profound understanding of these terrifying entities that had appeared across the globe.

“It can’t be, it absolutely can’t be.

You don’t understand, in these six months, we’ve had the Sword God Ye, Senior Overlord Blade, and the Martial Arts Heavenly Mansion from Jixia Academy…”

Azure Dragon argued anxiously, but before he could finish his sentence, Ye Xuan scoffed contemptuously, his gaze becoming even more profound.

“Mere mortals are after all just mortals; they are fundamentally inferior in the hierarchy of life.

In the future, you will see, these Blood Soul Exotic Beasts are truly dreadful,” said Ye Xuan with a resigned sigh.

Boom!

Suddenly,

Azure Dragon knelt to the ground, repeatedly kowtowing to Ye Xuan, which furrowed Ye Xuan’s brows, and he said, “Azure Dragon, what are you doing?”

“Mr.

Ye, since you’re so knowledgeable about these terrifying things, you must have a way to destroy them.

Azure Dragon begs you, for the future of humanity, for our Xia Country, please take action and save those innocent people.”

Hearing Azure Dragon’s earnest pleas, Ye Xuan’s face froze, and he fell into silence.

“Mr.

Ye, you’re also from Xia Country.

Can you really bear to watch the people of Xia Country die at the mouths of these Blood Soul Strange Beasts?” Azure Dragon pleaded bitterly, continuously bowing to Ye Xuan, and blood had even begun to seep from his forehead.

“From Xia Country?”

“Yes, I indeed have a way to completely eliminate the Blood Soul Strange Beasts, and this land of Xia Country did nurture me, but it’s a method I absolutely refuse to use.” Ye Xuan muttered to himself, a trace of self-mockery flashing in his eyes.

“Azure Dragon, get up.

It’s not that I, Ye Xuan, am cold-blooded and heartless, treating the people of Xia Country as nothing.

It’s just that Heaven and Earth operate in cycles, all living things must face life and death.

Since humanity is facing this calamity, they’ll have to overcome it on their own.”

“Mr.

Ye!”

Listening to Ye Xuan’s resolute words, Azure Dragon’s face turned pale, wanting to continue persuading Ye Xuan.

“Azure Dragon, you are a true hero, unafraid of death, concerned for the country and its people, but I, Ye Xuan, am not a hero, nor am I a sage of ancient times.

Please don’t bring this up again.”

After saying this, Ye Xuan turned and walked towards the outside world, with Huang Pudgy hurriedly following.

Watching Ye Xuan’s retreating figure, Azure Dragon’s face was filled with unwillingness, and he said with sorrow, “Mr.

Ye, Azure Dragon would like to ask you just one question.

Since you have a way to destroy these Blood Soul Strange Beasts, why stand by idly?”

Sadly, Ye Xuan walked further away, and did not respond to Azure Dragon’s question, which caused Azure Dragon to pound the ground with his fists, his entire being sinking into profound grief.

“Mr.

Ye, I, Azure Dragon, was wrong about you, but I will never give up.”

…

The scorching sun baked the Earth,

As Ye Xuan strolled along, an aura of gloom radiating from him, which kept Huang Pudgy silent, following mutely behind.

Abruptly!

Ye Xuan came to a halt, gazing out at the expanse of Heaven and Earth, his voice whispering, “Do you think I’m cold-blooded and heartless, indifferent to humankind being gradually devoured by the Blood Soul Strange Beasts?”

“You have your reasons; I wouldn’t dare to speculate recklessly.”

Huang Pudgy bowed, though the doubts were evident in his eyes; clearly, if Ye Xuan knew how to completely eliminate the Blood Soul Strange Beasts, why would he choose to do nothing?

“Heh!”

Ye Xuan gave a self-depreciating laugh, his voice quiet as a whisper, saying, “To exterminate the endless Blood Soul Strange Beasts, one would need to set up the Spirits Slaying Heaven Array across the globe.

With my mere Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivation, if I were to initiate this sky-reaching, earth-penetrating Killing Array, I would die as well!”

“Perhaps, I am selfish, but I just want to live.

As for the life and death of others, what does that have to do with me?”

Ye Xuan scoffed at himself and resumed walking forward, while his odd words left Huang Pudgy extremely puzzled, but he dared not inquire even the slightest.
