The Flood Dragon looked at Ye Xuan with curiosity.
With his shrewd nature, the deal he made today seed a bit unprofitable, which didn’t fit his usual style.
“So what if I worry, and what if I don’t?
The Black Demon Sect is just a small player—do they really think they can turn the sky upside down?
Even if the Witch goes back on her word, she can’t pose any threat to .”
Ye Xuan spoke noncommittally.
“The strength of the Black Demon Sect is unfathomable and not to be underestimated.
Right now, the various sects of the Tiannan Region are not united.
It’s quite uncertain who the ultimate winner will be,” the Flood Dragon said with a sowhat solemn expression.
“These major affairs of the sects are naturally for those above to worry about.
Who wins or loses between the righteous and the demonic doesn’t concern ; at least in the short term, the pattern of the Tiannan Region won’t change.”
Ye Xuan was not interested in these struggles between sects.
The only thing he cared about a little was Heavenly Martial Hall, for which he had developed so affection.
In the short term, the Six Great Sects would continue to exist, and it wasn’t so easy for the Black Demon Sect to turn the tables.
Right now, he only needed to look after himself.
This ti, having seized the Holy Object, the Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl, from the Black Demon Sect, they would inevitably focus their attention on him.
Constantly drawing such attention from the Black Demon Sect was not good for him, but Ye Xuan had no choice.
This Purple Gold Level mission was personally arranged by Hall Master Ling Jingtian, and he could not shirk it.
Logically, although he didn’t complete the mission perfectly, at least he had thwarted the plans of the Black Demon Sect.
Upon his return, he should still be due for a reward.
“Kid, when do you plan to return to the Heavenly Martial Hall?”
The Flood Dragon lazily basked in the sun, knowing that once Ye Xuan returned to Heavenly Martial Hall, it probably had to go back into the Beast Soul Token for a long sleep.
“I won’t return for now.
There’s an important matter that should be dealt with first,” a sharp glint flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes.
“What matter?”
Ye Xuan’s words clearly surprised the Flood Dragon.
Not returning to the Heavenly Martial Hall?
In this life after the ordeal, the first thing he should do is return to the Heavenly Martial Hall to report his safety.
What could be more important than that?
“Personal grievances.
Now that I have broken through to Martial Sect, it’s ti to deal with so matters.”
Having said that, Ye Xuan rose up from the ground, and the brilliance in his eyes beca even more piercing, “The blood debts that have accumulated for over a decade, plus the new ones from half a year ago, should be well accounted for now.”
Feeling the suddenly cold aura emanating from Ye Xuan, the Flood Dragon’s eyes also showed a trace of amazent.
For so long, this was the first ti it felt such a strong sense of revenge from Ye Xuan.
It seed the hatred involved was indeed not simple.
“Let’s go, to the Great Xia Kingdom.”
A chill passed over Ye Xuan’s face, the Jun family and the Xie family—he, Ye Xuan, was coming back!
He had said before, the day he returned to the Great Xia Kingdom would be the day the Jun and Xie families ceased to exist!
…
Great Xia Kingdom, southern borderlands.
With the astounding speed of the Flood Dragon, Ye Xuan arrived in the Great Xia Kingdom within one day and entered Dragon City, located at the southern frontier of the kingdom.
Before setting out, Ye Xuan had already sent a ssage back to the Heavenly Martial Hall, informing them that he had escaped confinent.
After all, this news needed to be shared promptly; otherwise, it would be sowhat improper if Murong Yun and the others didn’t know he was free and continued to waste manpower searching for him on Wanxiang Mountain.
Moreover, given his earlier entrapnt underground, undoubtedly many would be anxiously fretting.
By sending the ssage, he could also give those who were worried about him a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, rather than fearing the worst.
By the ti Ye Xuan entered Dragon City, it was precisely noon.
After traveling non-stop for a whole day, Ye Xuan was feeling parched and thirsty, so he stepped into a tavern to rest briefly, planning to continue his journey after a little break, and head for the capital.
He found a relatively quiet spot to sit down, ordered so fine wine and dishes—after being trapped underground for so long, subsisting on dry food was almost enough to drive one sick.
Now that he was finally out, it was naturally ti to indulge in so delicious cuisine.
As for the Flood Dragon, it had transford into the appearance of a tiny snake and was placed by Ye Xuan on another seat.
The creature made itself at ho, devouring the food as though it hadn’t eaten in ages the mont it was served.
Clearly, these human delicacies had a universally appealing effect, even on Demon Beasts.
The astonishing appetite of the Flood Dragon, now a “little snake,” drew the curious glances of many.
Quite a few patrons were secretly amazed—this snake appeared to be only one ter long and half a finger’s width, yet it could eat so much.
Indeed, the world is filled with endless wonders.
Of course, they could never imagine that this little snake was a feared Demon Beast sovereign, the overlord of the Panlong Mountain Range.
But Ye Xuan now had plenty of money to spare and wasn’t worried about being eaten out of house and ho by the creature.
After all, it was a Demon King, and at the very least, its dining desires should be satisfied.
Compared to the Flood Dragon’s vehent feeding frenzy, Ye Xuan, though initially gulping down the food, began to chew carefully and savor the flavors once he got a taste of freshness.
At that mont, from a nearby table, there suddenly ca a series of murmurs.
“You guys have no idea, our Great Xia Kingdom might be on the brink of change.
Just the other day, the Jun family launched a surprise attack, colluding with the Xie family in a rebellion.
All the top masters from their families have co forth, even the imperial guards of the capital have been scattered.
Now, the Imperial Palace is surrounded by the Jun and Xie families, and it’s in a precarious state, about to be seized at any mont.”
“What?
Is that so?
Although the Jun and Xie families are powerful, the Xia family has ruled the Great Xia Kingdom for hundreds of years with deep-rooted influence and the protection of Green Leaf Valley.
It won’t be so easily overthrown, will it?”
“You’re missing the point.
The Jun family had been lying low recently, without creating any noise.
Who would have thought that in silence, their power would swell so much?
The experts of the Jun family have beco much stronger, as if they’ve been invigorated by a magical tonic, relentlessly brave and matchless.
Not only are the Xia family’s warriors no match for them, but even the forces sent by Green Leaf Valley have been crushed by the Jun family.
As of now, the Xie family is rely a vassal to the Jun family.”
“The Jun family is that strong?
It looks like the situation is unclear, and the Great Xia Kingdom might very well have a change in rulership in the future.”
The crowd chattered endlessly, clearly many of them just learning of this news, and they were greatly shocked.
After all, the hierarchical structure of the Great Xia Kingdom’s noble families had not changed for a long ti, and the Royal Family of the Xia family had maintained their position for quite an extensive period.
No one expected that within just a few days, such earth-shattering events would transpire, provoking their alarm.
“Eh?
What about the young man at that table?
He was here just a mont ago, along with a little snake.
Why are they gone?
Could it be that my eyes are deceiving ?” Suddenly, soone looked towards Ye Xuan’s table, only to be startled to find it completely empty, and he couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Were there people there?
I didn’t notice anyone.”
“No, that’s not right, I saw them too just now.
How did they vanish all of a sudden?
In broad daylight, this is truly eerie.”
