Chapter 418 - 418 417 Seize the Treasure

418: Chapter 417: Seize the Treasure 418: Chapter 417: Seize the Treasure “Daoist Huo Ya, I have seen Daoist Kong Li,” said Daoist Huo Ya as he rose from his Jade Chariot and performed a Taoist salute to Ye Xuan.

At the same time, terrifying demon lights swept across from all directions, and other well-known demons made their way there.

They naturally noticed Ye Xuan’s vehicle and, although they had never seen Ye Xuan himself, they knew that Heavenly Ridge had a new master.

They were curious about Ye Xuan and watched him secretly.

Unfortunately, in regards to the prying eyes of the great demons, Ye Xuan completely ignored them.

However, the look he gave Daoist Huo Ya carried a hint of deep contemplation and confusion.

The aura, yes, the aura—a familiar aura intertwined around Daoist Huo Ya.

Although extremely faint, if not for Ye Xuan currently cultivating the Nine Revolutions of Daluo, he would also not have felt it.

Yet, this barely discernible aura felt extremely familiar to Ye Xuan, and he couldn’t remember where he had encountered it.

Ye Xuan’s intense gaze made Daoist Huo Ya change his expression slightly and grow somewhat uneasy, which made him force a smile and say, “Daoist Kong, brother Candle Dragon is a good friend of mine.

We are all one family.

If there is anything you need that I can help with, I will not refuse.”

After saying this, Daoist Huo Ya bowed to Ye Xuan and was about to head to the North Sea Dragon Palace, but just as he was about to leave, Ye Xuan frowned and said in a low voice, “Wait.”

“Hmm?”

Daoist Huo Ya’s breath hitched, and he slowly turned his head to look at Ye Xuan, his expression slightly sullen.

He had approached Ye Xuan and greeted him out of respect for the Candle Dragon King, but Ye Xuan had not even bothered to return the gesture, which was equivalent to not taking Daoist Huo Ya seriously at all.

However, Daoist Huo Ya realized that, since Ye Xuan had become the master of Heavenly Ridge, his cultivation must be above his own, which helped him suppress his dissatisfaction, although he was not willing to engage further in conversation.

“What else do you want, Daoist friend?” asked Daoist Huo Ya with neither servility nor arrogance.

“Open your Sumeru Space,” demanded Ye Xuan, seated cross-legged in the black ancient chariot, his voice calm yet filled with irrefutable authority.

“What?”

“Daoist Kong, I did not understand what you are saying,” Daoist Huo Ya replied, his face shocked.

He wasn’t sure if he had misheard, but when Ye Xuan repeated his previous words, Daoist Huo Ya knew he hadn’t misunderstood, causing his aura to darken and his eyes filled with hostility.

It was no surprise Daoist Huo Ya reacted thusly.

Whether an immortal or a demon, everyone’s Sumeru Space was the most crucial possession, storing personal cultivation methods, spiritual treasures, and elixirs—their very foundation.

How could it be easily shown to others?

Such a demand from Ye Xuan was nothing short of bullying.

Even if his own cultivation was inferior to Ye Xuan’s, how could he agree to such a demand?

If he truly opened his Sumeru Space for Ye Xuan to inspect, and other demons learned of it, wouldn’t that make Daoist Huo Ya the subject of ridicule?

How could he accept such a loss of face?

“Big brother, Huo Ya is my junior…”

“Hmm?”

The Candle Dragon King’s expression changed, and he quickly spoke out, trying to persuade Ye Xuan, but before he could finish his words, Ye Xuan frowned abruptly, causing the Candle Dragon King to swallow his words and lower his gaze, remaining silent.

“Daoist Kong, although you are the master of Heavenly Ridge and I, Huo Ya, cannot afford to offend you, asking me to open my Sumeru Space—isn’t that a bit too much?” Daoist Huo Ya said darkly.

“Too much?”

Ye Xuan gave a cold laugh, his gaze towards Daoist Huo Ya revealing immense disdain, and said, “I’m giving you three breaths’ time to consider.

If you open the Sumeru Space, I naturally won’t make things difficult for you.

However, if you fail to appreciate my kindness, you might as well not leave today.”

Overbearing and relentless, beyond questioning—such was the attitude of Ye Xuan, causing Daoist Huo Ya’s complexion to turn red and his eyes to display immense fury.

“Ha ha!”

Suddenly, Daoist Huo Ya burst into angered laughter.

Terrifying Samadhi Fire blazed all around him, and in an ominously deep voice, he declared, “Kong Li, do you really think this Daoist is afraid of you?”

“Take him down!”

Ye Xuan remained unflinching, but as his voice fell, the Swallowing Heaven Toad and Qingqiu King exchanged a glance before suddenly transforming into two demon lights, shooting toward Daoist Huo Ya.

“You from Heavenly Ridge oppress too much.

This Daoist must seek justice from my elder brother against your Heavenly Ridge.”

Facing the Swallowing Heaven Toad, Daoist Huo Ya already stood no chance, let alone with the addition of Qingqiu King—that prompted Daoist Huo Ya to conjure up a demon cloud and flee towards the Dragon Palace in the North Sea.

Clearly, at this moment, the North Sea Dragon Palace was home to many Great Demons, undoubtedly providing a stronghold for Daoist Huo Ya, the only force he could rely on.

Unfortunately for him, no one could defy Ye Xuan’s will.

Moreover, if the Swallowing Heaven Toad and Qingqiu King allowed him to escape, they simply could not explain themselves to Ye Xuan—thus they cast a great demon technique, instantly halting Daoist Huo Ya.

“Huo Ya, obediently open the Sumeru Space.

You should know how formidable this king is.”

The Swallowing Heaven Toad’s voice was heavy, altering the expression of Daoist Huo Ya, for he knew well that the Swallowing Heaven Toad was not someone to provoke, possessing not only a peak Luotian cultivation but also the Three Yin Corrosive Divine Water, the bane of his Samadhi Fire.

“Very well, very well!”

Trapped with no escape and besieged by two Great Demon Kings, and under the watchful eye of the fearsome Ye Xuan, Daoist Huo Ya, despite his resentment, could only swallow his anger.

“Kong Li, you bully me so today—I’ll remember this.

Since you wish to see my Sumeru Space, then take a good look.”

Utterly humiliated, Daoist Huo Ya, a subject under the roof, had no choice but to open his Sumeru Space, and a surge of extremely dense Spiritual Energy rippled forth from inside.

Weng!

Suddenly, Ye Xuan motioned with his hand, attracting a Small Cauldron towards him—causing Daoist Huo Ya’s face to shift, his mouth opening to say something.

Yet, changing his mind, he shot towards the North Sea Dragon Palace and instantly vanished into thin air.

“No need to chase.”

Before the two from Swallowing Heaven could pursue, Ye Xuan spoke softly, pausing the two’s breath as they returned to his side.

At this time, the various demons from all directions saw the scene of Ye Xuan compelling Daoist Huo Ya; indifferent to the affair, they didn’t bother to oppose Ye Xuan.

However, this dominant and fierce side of Ye Xuan was etched into the minds of the assorted demons.

Whish whish whish!

The North Sea was tumultuous with huge waves; the water eerily parted, and numerous demons at this moment entered the deep sea, heading toward the location of the North Sea Dragon Palace.

Inside a black Ancient Chariot, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged, fiddling with the Small Cauldron in his hand.

His eyes were both puzzled and profound, as strange runes materialized in his palm, continuously merging into the Small Cauldron, which nonetheless showed no change.
