Chapter 671: Chapter 665: Killing Intent
“It should be right here.”
Ye Xuan landed at the center of the lake, looking down at the protruding heart of the island beneath his feet, then also began to activate his soul power to search the area.
However, the first exploration yielded little result. At the center of the lake, there were only red magma bubbles rising and then bursting, emitting a scorching hot temperature.
“I’ve found it.”
Ye Xuan’s gaze fixed on a spot at the bottom of the lake, where there was a red crystal stone, almost the size of a human head.
With a draw of his palm, “whoosh,” the Red Fla Crystal automatically flew out, breaking the surface of the water and landing in Ye Xuan’s hand.
“What a large piece of Red Fla Crystal!”
The people around them saw this and their eyes heated up with enthusiasm, obviously extrely envious of Ye Xuan’s luck. Such a large Red Fla Crystal, with the Fire Attribute power contained within, would undoubtedly lead to a huge leap forward in cultivation if it could be absorbed.
Many people were restless, seemingly harboring ill intentions.
It seed that Ye Xuan was aware of these people’s thoughts and he too raised his palm, forcefully slapping the surface of the lake, deterring most of them with the sheer force of the action.
Yet, at this mont, a sowhat sarcastic voice suddenly transmitted over, “Junior Brother Ye Xuan seems quite imposing, but it looks like you too have been separated from your friends.”
As the voice fell, Ye Xuan’s gaze swept over, realizing that these people were quite strong in strength; but when his gaze reached the end, he frowned slightly. There, several familiar figures appeared.
A group of about five or six people, with a white-clothed leader at the helm was none other than Mu Yan, the leader of the Qinghua Association, with Song Ling and Liu Qing among others following by his side.
When Ye Xuan noticed Mu Yan and his group, the latter also saw him, his lips curling into a playful smile, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.
“So, it’s Senior Brother Mu Yan. What, do you plan to harm your fellow sect mbers here, to settle personal scores?” Ye Xuan’s eyes initially darkened, but then he curled the corners of his mouth, his face calm and unruffled.
As soon as these words were spoken, many eyes also focused over. It seed like a good show of intra-sect conflict was about to start?
“Junior Brother Ye, what are you talking about? We are fellow sect brothers and sisters, how could I possibly take action against you.”
Mu Yan, seeing that many people were paying attention to them, imdiately grinned, appearing to have no hostility. He was not foolish; with so many people here, if he and Ye Xuan were to fight, the consequences could be severe if word got out.
“Then get lost, I don’t want to see you, and dirty my eyes.”
Ye Xuan’s expression turned cold, but he was not at all polite. He knew these people’s thoughts; their treacherous tactics hidden behind smiles were all too familiar to him.
“Seeking death!”
Liu Qing and Song Ling’s faces both darkened, stepping forward. In their eyes, Ye Xuan was already in their grasp; facing so many of them, he dared to be so insolent, truly courting death.
“Junior Brother Ye is quite fiery, isn’t he? Since you don’t want to see us, we’ll just leave.”
Mu Yan’s face revealed a smile like a breath of spring, yet deep within his pupils, a piercingly cold murderous intent flashed at that mont. He waved his hand, and Song Ling along with Liu Qing and others also retreated in succession.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan didn’t believe that these people would give up the idea of dealing with him. It was just that, considering the crowd and many eyes around, it was not a good ti to make a move. Once they reached a secluded area, Mu Yan would certainly not hold back any longer.
However, Ye Xuan was not afraid of the other party at all. Although Mu Yan was a Saint of the Heavenly Martial Holy Land and his strength was unparalleled by a Semi-Saint, if Ye Xuan were to use all his trump cards, resisting Mu Yan should not be a difficult task.
Yet, after glancing at the departing backs of Mu Yan and the others, Ye Xuan stayed behind to continue searching for Red Fla Crystals, convinced that he had already been marked by them. Even if he were to leave now, they would surely follow imdiately.
“Big brother, when do we make our move?”
Not far away, Song Ling’s eyes were coldly fixed on Ye Xuan, then he looked at the young man in white in front of him and asked.
“Wait until we are out of this lake. There should be far fewer people then, and it won’t be too late to act at that ti.”
Mu Yan’s gaze was just as sinister, staring into the distance at Ye Xuan. “Had this lad knelt down and admitted his mistake earlier, perhaps I might have spared his life. But the fact that he dared to speak to like that ans I won’t be polite anymore.”
“People from small places often have no idea how vast the sky and the earth are. But he will only be able to comprehend such truths in the netherworld.”
Liu Qing also coldly laughed.
At this mont, Ye Xuan was searching for traces of Red Fla Crystals. As he scavenged, his figure had already reached the bottom of the lake, collecting another piece of Red Fla Crystal.
During this ti, Ye Xuan had already collected five Red Fla Crystals, with the smallest being the size of a fist. His gains were considerable.
Using the Great Devouring Spirit Array of the Human Emperor’s Scepter, Ye Xuan found absorbing the power of these Red Fla Crystals to be much easier. In less than half an hour, he had completely absorbed the energy of the five Red Fla Crystals.
Flipping up his palm, Ye Xuan’s palm heart ignited, and the fla that flickered was none other than the Earth Core Cold Fire. Only, after absorbing the power of the Red Fla Crystals, the Earth Core Cold Fire had also grown, its power fluctuations becoming several degrees more robust.
Whoosh!
Breaking through the water, Ye Xuan appeared on the surface of the lake. At this ti, the lake was noisy with the sound of wind, as figures constantly swept across it. Many people were hovering around, and although most of the Red Fla Crystals had been previously scavenged, due to the vastness of the lake, there were still quite a few remnants, so there were still a good number of people lingering, hoping to find sothing.
“It’s ti to go.”
Ye Xuan lingered for a mont. The Red Fla Crystals in this area had been nearly all collected, and what was left were just scraps scattered in corners, basically of no value anymore.
In a corner around the lake, a figure from ti to ti scrutinized the surroundings. His gaze was cold and impatient as he stared at the crimson lake, searching for any suspicious movents.
As Ye Xuan set off, this figure’s eyes lit up, and a fierce look appeared on his face, “Finally, he’s leaving. I must hurry and inform Senior Brother Mu Yan.”
This disciple from the Heavenly Martial Holy Land was clearly Mu Yan’s lackey. After spotting Ye Xuan, he imdiately dashed out, apparently set to inform his seniors.
“Sure enough, they’ve left soone to tail , it seems that they are determined to eliminate within these Demon Hideaway depths,” Ye Xuan noticed the surveillance of the disciple from the Heavenly Martial Holy Land and easily guessed that this was surely a spy left by Mu Yan to monitor his every action, just waiting for him to leave this place before they would likely strike.
“Since you’re so concerned about , I can’t let you down, can I?”
A hint of chill swept through Ye Xuan’s eyes. He was by no ans a soft-hearted person, and even if Mu Yan was a Saint, he did not hold much deterrent power in his eyes.
