Chapter 112: Don't Be Rash
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Most importantly, he was no match for Ye Xuan, much less the Xuanyin sect's patriarch.
The old king looked at the bloodstones in his hand, and his gaze gradually turned cold.
He had already come to a conclusion as to how the Xuanyin sect's patriarch had reached the peak of the core formation realm.
"Elder… Elder Ye Xuan!"
The old king glanced at Ye Xuan and said cautiously.
Although he had wanted to stop Ye Xuan earlier, he gave up decisively when he saw the overbearing sword qi the other party had released.
Since the two had not completely fallen out, there was still a chance for reconciliation.
"What's the matter?"
Ye Xuan was completely focused on collecting the heavenly treasures. Were it not for the fact that the other party had some status as the old king of the Great Qian Dynasty, he would not have bothered with him.
The old king did not display the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. Instead, he asked in a serious tone, "Elder Ye, has the Xuanyin sect's patriarch reached the peak of the core formation realm?"
"Yes!"
Ye Xuan turned his head to look at the old king and replied indifferently.
Hearing this, the old king was shocked. Now he was finally sure that the Xuanyin sect was secretly collecting the qi and blood essence, and had not hesitated to slaughter ordinary people for this purpose.
It was likely that the patriarch of the Xuanyin sect had broken through by relying on the qi and blood essence collected from these ordinary people.
How many people had they killed in order to collect enough qi and blood essence for the patriarch to break through?
Thinking this, the old king's eyes turned cold.
The Xuanyin sect truly deserved to die!
Ye Xuan's answer also dispelled the last bit of doubt in the old king's heart.
Ye Xuan had indeed killed all the top experts of the Xuanyin sect by himself.
While rejoicing, the old king was also slightly relieved.
Fortunately, he had not stopped Ye Xuan earlier, otherwise, he might have followed in the footsteps of the Xuanyin sect's patriarch.
Suddenly, the old king recalled something, and his expression changed drastically.
Not good! The Qian Gate!
The grand elder of the Qian Gate had already gone over to the Qingyun sect.
It was over!
If he really harmed the cultivators of the Qingyun sect, what should he do?
The old king became extremely anxious!
If the grand elder really attacked the Qingyun sect, then the Qian Gate and the Great Qian royal family would be doomed.
"Elder Ye!" The old king quickly looked at Ye Xuan.
"Is there anything else?" Hearing this, Ye Xuan immediately showed a trace of impatience.
"Li… Li Yan has already gone over to the Qingyun sect. Li Yan is the grand elder of the Qian Gate, and his strength is on the same level as mine!" the old king said anxiously.
If Li Yan really attacked the Qingyun sect, then they would become Ye Xuan's enemies.
Moreover, Li Yan was not aware of Ye Xuan's strength.
"Oh? You guys responded quite quickly!"
"But it doesn't matter. If he really dares to make a move against the Qingyun sect, he definitely won't be able to leave alive!" Ye Xuan said indifferently.
He then continued to plunder the heavenly treasures.
Hearing this, the old king was shocked, but did not doubt Ye Xuan's words.
Although he did not know what Ye Xuan had left behind in the Qingyun sect, for the other party to be so confident that it would bury Li Yan there forever, he knew that it had to be some sort of extremely powerful trump card.
What should he do? His cultivation level was more or less the same as Li Yan's. Other than the ancestor, who had half a foot into the unity realm, he and Li Yan were the strongest experts of the Great Qian Dynasty.
As such, Li Yan was very confident in his own strength.
Moreover, his thought process was not much different from the old king's. He also thought that the strength of Ye Xuan and the Xuanyin sect's patriarch was misreported.
The old king was quite lucky. He had already confirmed Ye Xuan's strength before doing anything stupid and no longer dared to offend him.
In comparison, Li Yan knew nothing.
He had no way of knowing whether Li Yan would attack the Qingyun sect.
Although Li Yan would not destroy the Qingyun sect, he did not know whether he would heavily punish or kill a few elders.
If Li Yan really attacked the Qingyun sect, there would be no turning back!
Ye Xuan's strength was so terrifying. If he attacked, even if the Great Qian royal family and the Qian Gate joined hands, they would not be able to withstand it.
Li Yan, you had better not be rash!
'Wait! Don't I have the scrying orb? How could I forget about this treasure?'
However, the Qingyun sect and the Xuanyin sect were far apart, and beyond the range of the scrying orb.
"Elder Ye Xuan, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first!"
The old king left quickly after saying that. He turned into a streak of light and disappeared.
Ye Xuan did o't pay too much attention to it. Instead, he continued busying himself by looting heavenly treasures.
The Xuanyin sect was the second-ranked sect in the Great Qian Dynasty. As such, they had an abundance of heavenly treasures.
There were high, middle, and low-grade spiritual artifacts, as well as some rare spiritual artifacts and the like…
Whatever Ye Xuan felt might be even slightly useful, he stuff directly into the system's storage space.
For example, essence condensation pills, body refining pills, black poison pills, purple spirit pills, soul-returning pills, spring return herb, heart fog herb, red lotus flower…
Although these things were not of much use to Ye Xuan, he had the system as a cheat. By giving these things to his disciples, he could receive rewards that might be useful to him.
Moreover, the Moon Demon mystic realm would open soon, which might give him the opportunity to take in new disciples.
Every new disciple he took in would be another source of system rewards.
Of course, not all the heavenly treasures that he collected from the Xuanyin sect had to be given to his disciples. He could also give them to the Qingyun sect to increase the strength of the sect.
Ye Xuan was not an ungrateful person.
When he had been severely injured, the Qingyun sect had resolutely chosen to stand by his side. Naturally, he would not forget this favor.
Moreover, there were many heavenly treasures, and plenty to go around. Most were not even useful for his disciples though, much less himself.
"It's a pity. Given the status of the Xuanyin sect, their treasury should have been even more abundant. Their resources were probably consumed by that old thing. Despite that, it took him hundreds of years to reach the peak of the core formation realm. What a waste!"
"So many heavenly treasures were wasted by that guy!"
After collecting all the heavenly treasures, Ye Xuan could not help but display a pained expression.
Although his storage ring was already full of heavenly treasures, he was still not satisfied. When he thought of the heavenly treasures that were wasted on Ming He, he felt frustrated.
Of course, he did not feel that it was too much of a loss. After all, the storage rings of the core formation realm elders he had killed yesterday were all in his hands.
Chapter 113: The Grand Elder Of The Qian Gate

It was common knowledge that core formation experts were rich. As such, how could Ye Xuan allow such riches to escape his grasp?
Whoosh!
Ye Xuan moved, and his figure suddenly appeared several hundred meters away. Although the five elders from before had long been reduced to ashes, their storage rings were still intact.
Storage rings were forged from extremely rare and sturdy materials. Even with his strength, he could not destroy them.
Moments later, Ye Xuan spread out his spiritual sense, and soon located the storage rings of the five elders.
When he looked into the storage rings, he smiled!
As expected of the storage rings of a top-ranked sect's elders, they were full of treasures!
Other than one or two elders, who had comparatively less, the rest were quite rich.
After some time, Ye Xuan had completed the plundering of the Xuanyin sect.
"It's time to take in another disciple!"
Ye Xuan touched his chin and muttered to himself. Then his figure turned into a stream of light and headed toward the Qingyun sect.
Whoosh!
Ye Xuan's figure flew through the sky rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of dozens of kilometers.
Not long after, Ye Xuan spotted a familiar figure!
The old king also sensed a familiar aura. When he turned around and saw Ye Xuan, he was shocked.
This guy was so fast! Was he really a peak core formation realm cultivator like himself? Why was there such a difference between them?
Well, apart from having condensed sufficient divine element, Ye Xuan had already met the standards of a unity realm cultivator in other aspects.
When the old king witnessed Ye Xuan's speed, he knew that if he had tried to escape from Ye Xuan after fighting him, he would not have had the chance to escape.
Ye Xuan glanced at the old king indifferently. He did not slow down, but passed him in an instant and left him in the dust.
Soon, a large gap formed between the two figures.
At this moment, the scrying orb in the old king's hand flickered with a bright light. He immediately stopped in his tracks and infused his spiritual power into the scrying orb to transmit information.
Hopefully, Li Yan had not acted rashly!
The old king prayed fervently that this was the case.
…
The Qingyun sect,
After the Xuanyin sect's attack was resolved, everyone finally relaxed. The injured cultivators all returned to their own cultivation abodes to recuperate. Many people were digesting the sword intent that Ye Xuan had displayed!
Everything seemed to be returning to its previous calm state.
However, suddenly, a terrifying aura suddenly descended on the Qingyun sect, shattering the peaceful atmosphere.
An old man in a fiery red robe hovered in the sky. He had fiery red eyes, and powerful energy fluctuations radiated from his body.
Although this aura was deliberately restrained, it still made everyone feel pressured and fearful.
It was because everyone could clearly sense that this newcomer's power was no weaker than that of the Xuanyin sect's patriarch. Although this person was still inferior to Elder Ye Xuan, he was an invincible powerhouse to the people present.
Elder Ye Xuan had just left, and another peak core formation realm expert had arrived. Did the heavens want to destroy the Qingyun sect?
Wan Shanhai suppressed the uneasiness in the heart and hurriedly showed himself to speak with this expert. Unexpectedly this person was from the Qian Gate, and he was their grand elder, Li Yan!
The other party was different from the patriarch of the Xuanyin sect. Li Yan was widely recognized as a peak core formation realm expert in the Great Qian Dynasty, and was extremely powerful!
Wan Shanhai had not expected such a terrifying expert to come to the Qingyun sect!
After finding out the identity of the other party, the uneasiness in Wan Shanhai's heart dissipated significantly. The other party must have come because of Ye Xuan!
He had not expected the Qian Gate to have learned of Ye Xuan's feat of killing so many top experts of the Xuanyin sect so quickly.
The other party might punish the Qingyun sect, but it would not be to the extent of killing them.
"Is Ye Xuan here?"
Li Yan hovered in the sky. His eyes were filled with indifference as he looked down at the cultivators of the Qingyun sect from above.
"Elder Ye Xuan has already left. We're not sure where he went," Wan Shanhai quickly replied.
He was smart enough not to mention that Ye Xuan was heading to the Xuanyin sect to settle the score. After all, if Li Yan got angry because of this, he might attack the Qingyun sect!
Now that Ye Xuan was not present, there was no one here who could deal with Li Yan.
Moreover, Ye Xuan's attack on the Xuanyin sect was undoubtedly a violation of the rules that the Great Qian royal family and the Qian Gate had jointly established, Therefore, this matter could not be exposed.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Li Yan sneered.
'Does Wan Shanhai really think that I am a three-year-old child? How could he hope to hide such a thing from me? Ye Xuan must have gone over to the mysterious dark sect by now, right?'
However, he was not anxious at all. With the old king overseeing matters at the Xuanyin sect, what could Ye Xuan do?
Then, he thought about the reports of Ye Xuan's achievements. He was still very doubtful of the veracity of the information he had received.
Had Ye Xuan really reached the peak of the core formation realm? How could a 20-year-old young man do so much? It was too unbelievable!
There had to be a problem with the information!
Could it be that an unknown force had interfered in the battle between the Qingyun sect and the Xuanyin sect?
"Ye Xuan… has he reached the peak of the core formation realm?"
"Also, has the patriarch of the Xuanyin sect reached the peak of the core formation realm? Did the patriarch and elders of the Xuanyin sect really die at the hands of Ye Xuan?"
Li Yan asked the three most crucial questions immediately.
He wanted to see how Wan Shanhai would answer them.
As the sect leader of the Qingyun sect, Wan Shanhai naturally knew the truth. He wanted to use Wan Shanhai's words to verify whether the information he had received was true or not.
Wan Shanhai was just a true core realm cultivator. He would not dare to lie in front of him.
"Uh…"
Wan Shanhai hesitated and did not know how to answer.
If he admitted it, would that not prove that Ye Xuan had killed a top-ranked sect's patriarch and leader? At that time, Ye Xuan and the Qingyun sect would be targeted by the Great Qian royal family and the Qian Gate.
However, if he denied it, would that be equivalent to deceiving them? When they found out later, the result would be pretty much the same.
Besides, Wan Shanhai did not want to deny it. Ye Xuan's achievements were also the pride of the Qingyun sect.
Moreover, Ye Xuan was really strong now, so why did he need to bow down to others?
"Hmm? Wan Shanhai, answer my question! Otherwise…"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yan snorted coldly, and his terrifying spiritual pressure engulfed Wan Shanhai.
Sensing this, Wan Shanhai's expression changed!
After Yue and Li Qingyan, who were in the crowd, sensed this terrifying pressure, two jade tokens suddenly appeared in their hands.
If Li Yan really dared to make a move against the Qingyun sect, they would crush the jade tokens without hesitation!
