The Ninth Spirit Hall.
Bang!
A heavy thud echoed, and Ye Xuan was seen violently crashing onto the ground, blood uncontrollably gushing from his mouth as he instantly fell unconscious.
Forcefully morizing the Spirits Immortal Scripture had already left Ye Xuan ntally exhausted, his spirit severely wounded. Escaping the Enlightennt Pavilion at the critical mont only exacerbated his injuries, which is why Ye Xuan lost consciousness.
"This...?"
When Lei Lan saw Ye Xuan unconscious, he was first stunned, then his expression turned instantly sullen. A hint of chilling murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"This person is ruthless and extre in his actions. This is a perfect opportunity to kill him," Lei Lan murmured, as the killing intent around him grew denser.
Lei Lan was a true villain, and he was very clever. He always knew Ye Xuan was using him, but to survive, he had no choice but to comply with Ye Xuan’s manipulations.
Although he didn’t know what happened to Ye Xuan at the mont, the latter was obviously severely injured and unconscious, making it the perfect ti to kill him.
Buzz!
A Spiritual Dagger gradually materialized, and Lei Lan cautiously approached Ye Xuan, a cold murderous intent growing in his eyes. As long as he could stab the dagger into the opponent’s forehead, he could certainly claim his life.
"What do you intend to do?"
Suddenly, just as Lei Lan was about to finalize his intent to kill Ye Xuan, a frighteningly icy voice of Gai Tianyuan suddenly rang out, startling Lei Lan, causing the Spiritual Dagger in his hand to drop to the ground in fright.
"Who? Who’s talking?"
Unfortunately, the voice ca and went quickly, as Gai Tianyuan’s residual soul was extrely weak and could only intimidate Lei Lan for a mont, unable to stop him from making a move.
Fortunately, Lei Lan was a cowardly person, and after Gai Tianyuan’s loud shout, his recently risen murderous intent dissipated, leaving him appearing panicked and unsettled.
In actuality, one couldn’t bla Lei Lan for wanting to kill Ye Xuan. After all, Ye Xuan was just a fake Spiritual Child, and his thods were exceedingly vicious, which could potentially cost Lei Lan his life soday.
Moreover, if he could kill Ye Xuan, it would be considered a ritorious deed for the Spirits Heavenly Palace. Once Lei Lan revealed the truth, he would surely receive praise from the Spirits Heavenly Palace, which would benefit him without any drawbacks.
Regrettably, after Gai Tianyuan’s loud shout, Lei Lan missed the best opportunity to kill Ye Xuan.
"You wanted to kill ?"
Suddenly, as Lei Lan was panic-stricken, Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze cold and ruthless, scaring Lei Lan to a kneeling position with a thud.
"Innocent, innocent, how could this humble one harbor ill intent toward a Spiritual Child!" Lei Lan kowtowed in a frantic manner, explaining while cold sweat drenched him completely.
"I doubted you had the guts."
Ye Xuan squinted slightly, slowly rising from the ground, yet he didn’t kill Lei Lan imdiately because though he appeared strong, he was currently too weak to exert any cultivation.
His injuries were too severe, and the Spirits Immortal Scripture had drained his spirit too greatly, making it difficult to mobilize the cultivation within his body.
"Watch over them, and do not disturb without my command." Ye Xuan ordered icily, striding into the secret chamber to begin healing his injuries.
In the secret chamber.
"That was close, almost got caught in that little creek." Gai Tianyuan said weakly.
"Thanks to your shout, or I nearly died in this petty villain’s hands, which would have been truly laughable." Ye Xuan sighed repeatedly.
Ye Xuan had weathered many storms, and if he were to truly die at the hands of such a petty villain, he wouldn’t die in peace himself.
"Have you morized the Spirits Immortal Scripture?" Gai Tianyuan asked gravely.
"The Spirits Immortal Scripture is too profound, three days is too short. I only rembered most of the content, the most important general outline is still missing." Ye Xuan said with slight disappointnt.
"You’ve done already quite well."
Gai Tianyuan wasn’t disappointed, as he already anticipated this outco, and Ye Xuan did better than he expected.
morizing a supre technique forcibly in just three days was almost impossible, and Ye Xuan achieving this step already made Gai Tianyuan look at him with newfound respect.
"Now, what worries is Yao Yueye. We just startled the snake in the grass; if sothing happens to him, I’m afraid our whereabouts will be exposed." Ye Xuan said gravely.
"You can rest assured, the Chaos Star Pattern masks the heavenly secrets. Even Ye Lingtian will not discover how we entered the Enlightennt Pavilion." Gai Tianyuan said confidently.
"Let’s hope so."
Ye Xuan always had a feeling of unease. He felt that the Lord of Spirits would definitely not be that simple. This feeling was so strong as if he had t the Lord of Spirits sowhere before.
Of course, this was rely Ye Xuan’s intuition, as he was sure he had never t the Lord of Spirits, but this feeling made him deeply puzzled, and he could only suppress it forcibly, beginning to repair his depleted spirit.
Several days later.
Yao Yueye finally returned to the Ninth Spirit Hall, personally sent back by Zi Ling, and was completely unaware of what happened to him.
He only rembered comprehending the Spirits Immortal Scripture and then fell into a state of confusion until Zi Ling woke him and took him out of the Enlightennt Pavilion.
"Brother Ye, I have completed the task you entrusted with. Can you now release them?" Yao Yueye bowed to Ye Xuan, eyes full of pleading.
"I only promised not to harm their lives, but never agreed to release them." Ye Xuan said with a slight smile.
"You...?"
Yao Yueye’s face flushed, wanting to curse Ye Xuan for breaking his promise but ultimately sighed helplessly, becoming utterly dejected.
He knew Ye Xuan wouldn’t let him go, and his family was Ye Xuan’s leverage.
"Brother Yao, you should be grateful to . After all, I’m the one allowing you to reunite with your family. Rest assured, as long as you behave, I will grant you freedom in the future." Ye Xuan said, with the Treasure Gourd manifesting once more in his hand, instantly drawing Yao Yueye and his family into it.
"Why don’t you kill them?" Gai Tianyuan’s voice tily inquired, filled with puzzlent.
Having spent considerable ti with Ye Xuan, Gai Tianyuan sowhat understood Ye Xuan’s thods. Logically, killing them would be the safest course, as only dead people can keep secrets.
"Yao Yueye can’t die yet. His living is more useful than dead." Ye Xuan said calmly.
From eting the Lord of Spirits, Ye Xuan realized Yao Yueye’s importance. If such an event happened again in the future, he would certainly need Yao Yueye to appear, which is why Ye Xuan didn’t kill him.
"Indeed, his living is really useful to you." Gai Tianyuan concurred, having understood the crucial point.
"Though I won’t kill Yao Yueye, so must die." Ye Xuan squinted, a trace of cruel killing intent flitting through his eyes.
