Chapter 88 - 88 88 Forbidden Peak

88: Chapter 88 Forbidden Peak 88: Chapter 88 Forbidden Peak Nangong Family!

As Li Huantian entered the place of seclusion, Nangong Tian quickly pulled out his phone and dialed.

“Antar, I need your help.

If Ye Xuan isn’t dead in three days, you may launch a direct attack.

My Nangong Family will also leave Xia Country and fully cooperate with your organization.”

“Oh, Satan above, you are truly insane, but I really like your madness.

On behalf of the organization, I welcome the arrival of the Nangong Family.”

From the other end of the phone, the voice of a foreign man was heard.

If Ye Xuan heard this voice, he would surely remember—it was the voice of the terrorist leader who wanted to destroy the airplane.

The call was disconnected.

Craziness intensified in Nangong Tian’s eyes.

Seeing Li Huantian injured today made him anxious and led him to prepare a backup plan.

Even if Li Huantian couldn’t kill Ye Xuan in three days, the weapon in Antar’s hands would certainly leave no place for Ye Xuan’s body.

…

The news of Li Huantian and Ye Xuan’s decisive battle spread rapidly, becoming the focal point of attention for all upper echelons in Capital City.

At the same time, a large number of Ancient Martial Artists appeared in Capital City, and some representatives of Ancient Martial Families went to the Nangong Family, wishing to meet with Li Huantian.

However, they were stopped by Nangong Tian, who also informed these representatives about the decisive battle at Forbidden Peak with Ye Xuan in three days.

…

Capital City, an anonymous quadrangle.

Ye Xuan unfolded the note in his hand, reading its content thoroughly.

A chilling killing intent appeared on his gentle, jade-like face.

“It really is the doing of the Nangong Family,” Ye Xuan murmured softly.

The note was sent by a servant dispatched by the Ye Family father and son.

The content was simple, imbued with humility.

Yet, that was not the point.

The key fact was that written on the note was that the missile attack against Ye Xuan was the doing of the Nangong Family, and it had nothing to do with the Ye Family, hoping Ye Xuan could visit the Ye Family when he had time.

Indeed, even without the message from the Ye Family, Ye Xuan had guessed that the missile attack was the Nangong Family’s doing.

The reason being, although the Nangong Family was one of the top eight families, they should have known Ye Xuan’s capabilities and were aware of how highly several leaders in Xia Country valued him.

Logically, the Nangong Family would never dare to openly trouble Ye Xuan.

However, during this year’s Wu’an Office meeting, Nangong Tian inviting Li Huantian to launch an attack showed that the Nangong Family, feeling guilty, had already exposed themselves.

Ye Xuan allowed Li Huantian and others to leave because he suspected Nangong Tian; he wanted to see what Nangong Tian and others would do after they left.

Now, the message from the Ye Family had thoroughly confirmed the matter, finally making Ye Xuan certain that this indeed was the Nangong Family’s doing.

Having ascertained the truth, in Ye Xuan’s eyes, whether it was Li Huantian or the Nangong Family, they were both destined to become corpses—a fact that could not be changed.

The only thing that slightly reassured Ye Xuan was that Ye Ping, who was in Jiangnan City, had not participated in this event, which made the killing intent rising in his heart quietly recede.

Although Ye Xuan was cruel, domineering, fierce, and ruthless, he was still human, and humans have emotions and desires.

If he had killed Ye Ping without telling Ye Mother, he could entirely imagine how heartbroken Ye Mother would be when she saw Ye Ping’s corpse.

Emotions tied Ye Xuan; he admitted that these ties made him feel constrained.

However, as a human, one would always have a kind side.

Ye Xuan’s kindness was all given to Ye Mother, also a way to repay her for years of nurturing.

A difficult problem was smoothly resolved, which provided much relief to Ye Xuan’s mind and heart at that moment.

“Azure Dragon, take this note upstairs for me, and convey to the leaders that in three days, the Nangong Family will cease to exist,” Ye Xuan casually handed the note to Azure Dragon and turned to walk to the house.

Azure Dragon quickly read the content of the note, his eyes filled with great fury.

He swiftly left the courtyard and reported to the several bigwigs of Xia Country.

The bigwigs responded quickly, assuring Ye Xuan they would always stand behind him.

At the same time, the head of the Wu’an Office reported Ye Xuan’s actions at the Wu’an Office annual meeting to these bigwigs, supported by testimonies from various group leaders.

However, the response they received left everyone in the Wu’an Office speechless.

Ye Xuan was Xia Country’s guardian deity, and as long as his actions did not harm the interests of Xia Country, there was no need to report to them.

Having received such responses from the bigwigs, the people of the Wu’an Office finally understood the significant weight Ye Xuan held in the hearts of the bigwigs.

This realization made them smile bitterly, and they could only sigh helplessly.

Bai Lang and Ming Ye truly died in vain.

Yet, this incident served as a wake-up call to the people of the Wu’an Office and taught them a lesson.

Ye Xuan absolutely must not be offended.

If someone did offend him, their fate would be extremely miserable.

Xue Ji, leader of the Desolate Group, was extremely unsettled.

She could not forget the eerie look in Ye Xuan’s eyes or the words he had spoken.

“Why…

why could he tell I am a demon?” Xue Ji’s complexion was pale as she uttered these dreamlike murmurs, sorrow fleeting across her eyes.

…

Three days later!

A crescent moon hung in the night sky, adorned by countless stars, giving off a stunningly beautiful feel.

Forbidden City, the former capital, had now become a tourist attraction.

However, tonight it was closed to the public, and a strict security perimeter had been set up within ten miles, not allowing ordinary people to enter.

Below the Forbidden City.

A large number of Ancient Martial Artists and Superpower Users gathered, along with various renowned tycoons and magnates watching from a distance.

A duel between two Innate Martial Artists was a major event that hadn’t occurred in decades.

This battle was destined to be recorded in the history of the Ancient Martial World, leaving a wistful legend for posterity.

Buzz!

The void buzzed, ripples spread, and a blast resounded from afar.

Before the crowd could see who the arrival was, a slender figure had already appeared atop the Forbidden City.

Dressed in a moon-white robe with silver hair at his temples, he cradled the Flying Snow Sword in his arms.

Illuminated by the moonlight, he emanated an ethereal and transcendent aura.

A century ago, he was the ninth greatest master in the world, revered as the Peerless Sword Immortal—he was Li Huantian.

“Greetings to Senior Peerless Sword Immortal.”

As Li Huantian appeared, whether Ancient Martial Artists or Superpower Users, everyone was excited, each bowing in respect, paying homage to the esteemed senior.

Sadly, Li Huantian paid no heed to the people below the city.

His eyelids slightly closed, his expression calm and undisturbed, as if nothing, not even the falling apart of Heaven and Earth, could perturb his current state of mind.

However, if one looked closely, one could see the veins on Li Huantian’s hand gripping the sword pulsating—clearly, his inner emotions were not as serene as they seemed on the surface.

“Guess who will win between these two?”

“Isn’t that obvious?

It has to be Senior Huantian.

He was the ninth greatest master a century ago.

There are even rumors that Senior Huantian has reached the fifth level of the Innate realm.”

“That might not necessarily be the case.

I heard that at the Wu’an Office annual meeting, it seemed that Senior Huantian was slightly inferior to Ye Xuan.”

“But a brief exchange can hardly determine the outcome.

If Senior Huantian truly weren’t a match for Ye Xuan, why would he issue a challenge and decide to battle him today in the Forbidden City?”

Various discussions buzzed around, with most people skeptical of Ye Xuan.

After all, the legendary name of the Peerless Sword Immortal had been renowned for a century in the Ancient Martial World.

Ye Xuan, despite his recent rise to fame, how could he compare to Li Huantian?
