Chapter 664 - 664.: Crisis
Ye Chen laughed coldly. He no longer hesitated, and his sword slid across Elder Zhou’s neck, decapitating him.
Mu Wanning nodded in satisfaction and then looked at the Bei Xuan sect’s disciples who were still alive.
”Now that Elder Zhou is dead, you should know what to do, right? Everyone, kneel down and use your souls to swear an oath to never divulge what happened today. You should know the consequences of refusing.”
After those words were uttered, everyone’s expressions changed. However, they had no choice, and could only kneel and swear on the Heavenly Dao with their souls.
To cultivators, this was practically the most poisonous oath. One would not dare to violate it at all.
After doing all this, Mu Wanning looked at Ye Chen and Bai Lixiong and made an inviting gesture.
“Come with me.”
Ye Chen shook his head.
“I won’t be going with you to the Bei Xuan sect. I still have things to do.” “Besides, you two haven’t seen each other for a long time. I don’t want to be the third wheel.”
Hearing this, Mu Wanning blushed. She could see the respect and importance her husband had for this young man. From this, she knew that this man had helped her husband a lot.
The invitation was just to express her gratitude. However, at this moment, what she wanted to do the most was to spend time with her husband and find out what had happened after being separated for so many years.
“Mr. Ye, Wanning knows more about the Kunlun Mountains. She might be of some help to you,” Bai Lixiong said, and then explained to Mu Wanning “Wanning, if it wasn’t for Mr. Ye, Libing and I would have died countless times. No matter what, Mr. Ye is one of us and we can trust him completely.”
Mu Wanning nodded and looked at Ye Chen. She asked curiously, “Where are you going in such a hurry, Mr. Ye?”
Ye Chen did not waste any time and said, “Qingxuan Peak.”
Hearing these three words, Mu Wanning was slightly surprised.
“Legend has it that Qingxuan Peak is the land of the descendants of Lin Qingxuan, who is a divine doctor. Countless experts have gone to Qingxuan Peak looking for them. Unfortunately, the formation at the mountain is rarely open. If Mr. Ye is going to find Lin Qingxuan’s descendants, it will be a little troublesome.”
“Also, Qingxuan Peak has been very unstable recently. There’s a path that one must pass through, and bones are piled up all year round. It’s said that a group of experts are waiting there, hunting experts and seizing treasures.”
“If Mr. Ye is willing to wait, I will arrange everything and go to Qingxuan Peak with Mister Ye.”
Naturally, Ye Chen would not disturb the two of them. He shook his head.
“There’s no need, I can go alone.”
Mu Wanning was more and more surprised. She knew that he had sensed her strength earlier, and the gap between the two of them was huge. If he had her help, he would definitely be extremely safe.
If it was not for the fact that the other party had saved Baili Xiong, she would not have offered to do this. However, this young man had rejected her without hesitation.
Was he prepared to die?
Mu Wanning did not force the matter. She then thought of something and entered the Bei Xuan sect, pulling out a flaming horse.
The steed was overflowing with spiritual energy. It was obviously a tamed spiritual beast mount.
“Mr. Ye, this horse was gifted to me by the sect master. I have no use for it, and
I cultivate in seclusion all year round anyway. Therefore, I’ll give it to Mr. Ye.
This way, you’ll be able to reach Qingxuan Peak faster.”
Ye Chen did not refuse this time. What he lacked now was a fast mount.
Ye Chen mounted the horse, and the flames soared as he headed down the mountain.
Mu Wanning looked in the direction where Ye Chen had left and asked Bai Lixiong curiously, “This person is really a weirdo. He is just a mere immortal ascension realm expert. By the way, how did Elder Zhou get injured? That Mr. Ye clearly did not have the strength to do something like that.”
Bai Lixiong’s expression was extremely serious as he said, “Wanning, don’t be deceived by Mr. Ye’s aura. Elder Zhou was injured by Mr. Ye. He didn’t even have the strength to fight back. Also, a few days ago, dozens of experts from the Blood Alliance attacked Mr. Ye, but they were all killed by Mr. Ye alone! That bloody scene is still a nightmare for me.”
Mr. Ye’s strength can’t be measured by normal means at all.”
Mu Wanning gasped when she heard Bai Lixiong’s words. Her eyes were filled with fear and surprise.
Did she really make a mistake?
At the foot of Qingxuan Peak.
The sun was scorching hot.
Ji Lin brought two experts of the Ji family and hurried through the night. Finally, they were about to arrive.
No matter what, she had to save her father. She had already prepared for the worst. Even if Lin Qingxuan’s descendants refused to make a move, she would kidnap them. Her father came first, and the Ji family would support her decision anyway.
She did not know how things were going with her sister. She had heard of Ye Shitian a few times, as his name was considered a nightmare among the sects of the Kunlun Mountains. However, his identity and whereabouts remained extremely mysterious.
This was Ji Lin’s impression of Ye Shitian.
Ji Lin suddenly thought of Ye Chen, who was in a sorry state in Huaxia.
She shook her head helplessly.
“Ye Chen’s surname is Ye, after all. Why is there such a huge difference?” One was almost killed by a unity realm expert in Huaxia, while the other has already killed a saint king realm expert in the Kunlun Mountains.”
“The two of them are about the same age. It’s really difficult to describe the difference in a few words.”
“However, Ye Chen is famous for his mortal roots in the Kunlun Mountains, so I shouldn’t have such expectations for him. Anyway, he’s definitely not worthy of my sister.”
Just as Ji Lin was muttering to himself, the two experts of the Ji family stopped in their tracks.
“Miss, I feel that something is wrong.”
Ji Lin’s small body instantly straightened up. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at everything around her. She unconsciously released her aura.
Her cultivation level had reached the saint realm, which was considered monstrous for her age. After all, she was not even thirteen years old.
“Be careful. I heard from my sister that Qingxuan Peak is not simple. Along the way, we also found many skeletons.”
Ji Lin released her spiritual sense and walked forward.
He had only taken a few steps when three piercing sounds suddenly rang out. It seemed that they had been discovered!
Three red gleams flew over at high speed.
The two experts of the Ji family hurriedly stood in front of Ji Lin to protect her, brandishing their weapons!
Ji Siqing had told them that even if they died, nothing could happen to Ji Lin!
Seeing the approaching red gleams, the weapons in their hands shot out!
Golden light filled the air, and sword qi soared into the sky!
