Young, handso, a guy in his twenties.
Cultivation at the peak of the Sixth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm.
A faint aura of fire spirit power emanates from his body.
This was the first discovery by the Leader of the Dragon Alliance, Jie Tianhe, upon fixing his gaze on Ye Zhen.
Though the traits he observed couldn’t definitively confirm that this young man, besieged by the Yan Family from the Stars Tower, was his destiny’s enemy, they were highly compatible with the traits of that enemy.
Currently, the characteristics of the enemy from the Dragon Alliance that Jie Tianhe was pursuing included being in his twenties, having a cultivation level above the Fourth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, Divine Soul Cultivation roughly at the Innate Soul Light Fifth Realm but with extrely abnormal combat power, exceptionally adept with fire spirit power, and possessing a rather extraordinary Cloud Winged Tiger King.
Among these traits, Ye Zhen matched at least three, and as for the difference between the Sixth Stage and the Fourth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, Jie Tianhe didn’t consider it a gap.
With his ability, he could easily elevate a martial artist at the Fourth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm to the peak of the Seventh Stage within three months, although the cost would be significant.
After experiencing extre anxiety in recent days, Jie Tianhe had devised an absolute thod to locate his destiny’s enemy.
On the current Shuili Island, the number of martial artists is predetermined.
And they also knew a good number of traits of his destiny’s enemy. He was aware that his enemy might be in disguise, but cultivation could first exclude a large portion.
The previously discovered cultivation of his enemy was only at the Fourth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, so in this short span of two months, no matter how much it progressed, it wouldn’t reach above the Establishnt Realm.
Even if it were truly heaven-defying, the cultivation could scarcely ascend to the first or second stage of the Establishnt Realm.
Firstly, Jie Tianhe excluded all martial artists with cultivation above the Third Stage of the Vein Forging Realm and above the Second Stage of the Establishnt Realm. On Shuili Island, most martial artists had a cultivation of the Fourth Stage of the Establishnt Realm and above.
Only five hundred individuals t the criteria, and among these, his primary focus was on the martial artists within the Vein Forging Realm.
The target was suddenly narrowed down to about a hundred people.
Next, the power of the Divine Soul.
Although Jie Tianhe was a martial artist at the Dao Entrance Realm, he couldn’t see through the reality of a target martial artist’s Divine Soul Cultivation in one glance, but a certain trait could determine the real level of soul strength, especially in low cultivation martial artists.
These martial artists in the Establishnt and Dao Entrance Realm naturally exude a special kind of pressure typical of strong figures, similar to the inherent authority in the political world.
There’s no need to intentionally release it, but low-level martial artists feel it deeply.
Among martial artists of the sa level, this influence is slight; for example, a King of the second or third stage of the Establishnt Realm feels little from an eighth or ninth stage King.
However, Vein Forging Realm martial artists exhibit instinctive reverence, or even fear, when in close proximity to a King of the eighth or ninth stage of the Establishnt Realm.
Externally, this is evident in how the Vein Forging Realm martial artist shows extre respect towards the eighth or ninth stage King, acting woodenly and uptightly, not daring to do anything out of line.
This situation magnifies when facing even stronger individuals, like martial artists of the Dao Entrance Realm.
However, if a martial artist’s Divine Soul Cultivation is strong, they will not be affected by the invisible pressure of a strong figure, even with lower Vein Forging Realm Cultivation.
Today was the day that the Shuili Dan King announced the rules, attracting nearly all the martial artists, and in this brief mont, Jie Tianhe had narrowed down his list of suspicious targets to seven!
Among the crowd, Ye Zhen, moving freely without any awkwardness, was precisely one of the seven he had targeted.
The montary feeling of familiarity Jie Tianhe had when he looked at Ye Zhen instantly made him focus intensely on Ye Zhen as a significant observation target.
As for Ye Zhen, upon sensing the covert attention from Jie Tianhe’s gaze upon himself, he had already prepared for the worst.
Having prepared for the worst, at this mont, the presence of Jie Tianhe was trivial, hence Ye Zhen simply ignored him and focused on dealing with the Yan Family!
"Is your Yan Family’s intelligence too outdated? I’ve killed so many of your Yan Family’s direct lineage, and yet you haven’t distributed my spirit image as a warning!
No wonder so many of your Yan Family mbers have been taken down by ; it’s no coincidence!" Ye Zhen said with absolute seriousness.
As Yan Wuluo, one of the four Yan Clan Elders, was questioning if it was Ye Zhen, these words almost made his nose twist with anger. He had seen arrogance before, but never this kind of arrogance.
anwhile, Ye Zhen was already pointing at Yan Yijun’s nose, laughing, and cursing.
"Yan Yijun, I didn’t expect you to be so lucky; after what happened, you’re still alive. It seems I wasn’t thorough enough last ti!"
"As they say, when enemies et, they are especially envious of each other. Dare to et at Yixiao Building for a life-and-death duel to resolve our grievances?" Ye Zhen laughed.
Yan Yijun glared at Ye Mu, his eyes almost popping out, and upon hearing this, there was no reason not to agree.
"What’s there to be afraid of!"
"If you have the guts, let’s go right now!" Yan Yijun shouted directly.
Yan Yijun truly hated Ye Zhen, as at the Spirit Returning Assembly, he almost died; two-thirds of his body, including his five internal organs and six hollow organs, were smashed into a pulp by Ye Zhen.
Such injuries ant inevitable death, even for an Establishnt King, let alone a Vein Forging Realm martial artist like him.
However, Yan Yijun was one of the few younger mbers of the Yan Family highly valued by the family, carrying extrely precious life-saving spirit talismans and secret dicines with him.
Afterwards, Yan Cong had taken Yan Yijun back to the Stars Tower and employed various life-saving techniques while notifying the old residence of the Xuanyuan Yan Family as swiftly as possible.
Not long after, the Yan Family’s old mansion in Xuantian directly sent over a bottle of life-saving spiritual balm that could revive the dead and restore flesh to bones through a Small Movent Formation.
In just three days, Yan Yijun’s body, crushed to pulp by Ye Zhen, was restored to its original state, although his injuries were not completely healed.
He was quickly sent back to the Yan Family’s old mansion, where he fully recovered under the family’s all-out efforts to treat him.
For the past two years, he had been undergoing special training and arduous cultivation within the family, and was only allowed out this ti for the Shuili Island’s Pill Appreciation Assembly.
The target, the Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill!
Due to Ye Zhen, the Yan Family suffered significant losses among their experts, losing over ten percent of their Establishnt Kings, and three mbers of the direct lineage capable of wielding the family’s power perished.
The Yan Family intended to seize this opportunity to rapidly enhance Yan Yijun’s cultivation, hoping that with the help of the Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill, he could successfully break through to the Establishnt Realm.
With the Yan Family’s financial strength and heritage, it would only take a few years to produce a core mber of the direct lineage capable of controlling the family’s power.
"Yijun, do not be reckless!"
Upon hearing Yan Yijun agree to duel Ye Zhen at the Yixiao Building, and imdiately at that, Yan Wuluo, the fourth clan elder, quickly showed his concern.
"Fourth Granduncle, don’t stop . This ti, I must personally cut down that traitor Ye Zhen to avenge the blood feud!" Yan Yijun said, glaring with fiery red eyes.
"Yijun, do not act on impulse! Have you forgotten how you lost last ti? This Ye Zhen is not ordinary!"
The ntion of his previous defeat was not well received. As soon as it was brought up, Yan Yijun’s eyes turned blood red!
"Fourth Granduncle, I’ve endured relentless training day and night for over two years, enduring so much bitterness, all for the sake of revenge. Don’t you understand? Moreover, you’ve seen my combat power after leaving seclusion! Today, no one can dissuade !"
"Co, Ye Zhen. If you’re a man, follow to the Yixiao Building now. Only after I’ve finished with you will there still be ti to listen to the Shuili Dan King’s explanation of this Pill Appreciation Assembly’s rules."
These words, full of bravado, were directed provocatively, and with a flicker, he intended to shoot skyward towards the Yixiao Building.
But just as his form rose into the air, a large hand ca obliquely flying in, pressing Yan Yijun firmly back down.
"Even if you shout from the rooftops, today you cannot duel Ye Zhen at the Yixiao Building!" A cold voice suddenly sounded!
’Let go of !’ Yan Yijun roared, shaking his shoulders in an attempt to break free.
However, despite his struggles, the large hand pressing down on his shoulder didn’t move even an inch.
Stunned, Yan Yijun turned around sharply, exclaiming, ’Seventh Elder?’
’We et again, Chief Steward Huang.’ Simultaneously, Yan Wuluo and the rest of the Yan Family entourage greeted the martial artist who had suddenly arrived with respectful bows.
The newcor was none other than Huang Mian of the Huang Clan, one of the five Tower Chiefs of the Stars Tower and the seventh in rank among its elders.
He served as the Chief Inspector within the Stars Tower, wielding considerable authority, thus Yan Wuluo and others addressed him as Chief Inspector.
This Pill Appreciation Assembly was highly valued by the Stars Tower, and they sent a total of three teams to participate.
One team led by Yan Wuluo, and another by Huang Mian.
Upon realizing that it was Chief Inspector Huang Mian preventing him, Yan Yijun felt a bit intimidated and refrained from a tantrum, but he was still unwilling to give up.
"Why?" Yan Yijun asked sowhat aggrievedly, glancing at Chief Inspector Huang Mian.
Before Chief Inspector Huang Mian could respond, Yan Yijun sensed sothing was off.
He noticed that the martial artists gathering from all directions were looking at him with strange expressions.
Many of them gazed at him with a hint of mockery, so even with ridicule.
’Oh, we thought we had a fool co to die and could use it to recover so losses, but unexpectedly he was intercepted halfway.
What a pity!
What a pity for such a great opportunity.’
Among the onlookers, similar voices of dissatisfaction and jeering grew more nurous.
While Yan Yijun was dumbfounded, the expression on Yan Wuluo’s face had beco extrely grim.
At the sa mont, the newly arrived Chief Inspector Huang Mian of the Stars Tower turned ashen and bellowed at Yan Yijun.
’You deserve to be killed by Ye Zhen. Are all of you from the Yan Family just idiots?
You’ve been on Shuili Island for several days, don’t you bother to find out about the major events that have taken place here recently?’
’Do you have any idea, just seven days ago, Ye Zhen defeated an Establishnt Realm Seventh Stage King head-on at the Yixiao Building.’
’An Establishnt Realm Seventh Stage King! Are you out of your mind or have you gone mad, wanting to duel Ye Zhen at the Yixiao Building?’
Chief Inspector Huang Mian’s last words hit Yan Yijun’s brain like a thunderclap.
In an instant, the latter was left bewildered and dazed! (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian to cast recomndation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.)
