Martial God and Sikong Wuji among others stepped back quickly, but even so, they still felt their chests stifled and their hearts shaken by that terrifying force. Indeed, had it not been for the power of spatial stasis, it was doubtful that they could have held out this long against Yuxiaozi.
The sky was filled with energy and Qi Force, pouring down like a heavy rain before finally subsiding after a long ti. Ye Xuan looked up only to see two figures standing off in the distant sky, their fierce auras like two divine spears, almost piercing through heaven and earth...
Such a clash clearly made it difficult to determine a winner.
The combatants were closely matched in cultivation, and without resorting to ultimate techniques, it seed unlikely that either would gain the upper hand.
Yuxiaozi’s face darkened slightly, but after a short while, he took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart. He was obviously at a loss to do anything more to Ye Xuan...
"It seems you, as Sect Leader, have quite a few tricks up your sleeve..." Elder Xue said with a smile to Yuxiaozi.
Yuxiaozi’s eyes twitched, and he said in a heavy voice, "This matter will not end here for my Emperor Xi Sect."
"Hmph... no matter what you intend to do, we at the Heavenly Martial Holy Land will see it through to the end."
Elder Xue shrugged his shoulders, seeming to smile briefly before his eyes slowly turned extrely cold, "However, I should warn you, let’s consider today’s incident settled and the grudge wiped clean. If you still wish to take any actions against Ye Xuan, Emperor Xi Sect will be brought to ruin!"
Yuxiaozi’s pupils shrank, then he sneered, "Although the Heavenly Martial Holy Land is strong, attempting to destroy Emperor Xi Sect, I fear you will also pay a heavy price!"
Once he’d said that, knowing that the matter could no longer be pursued today, he couldn’t be bothered to waste further words. With a wave of his sleeve, space twisted, and his figure disappeared along with the four elders of Emperor Xi Sect.
Seeing this from afar, Ye Xuan and the others let out a sigh of relief.
Yuxiaozi had finally gone, and the danger here was finally resolved.
"Supre Elder, Yuxiaozi was too arrogant, how could you just let him go?" Yin ng said, dissatisfied with the outco, pouting her mouth.
"This guy is after all a Fifth Grade Martial Saint with the cultivation of a sect leader; do you think he’s as easy to kill as a little cat or dog?" Elder Xue replied sowhat helplessly, then turned his serious gaze to Ye Xuan, "Although Yuxiaozi’s actions today might indeed serve as a reason to start a war, a war between Seventh Grade Sects is fundantal to a Sect’s foundation and requires thorough consideration."
Heavenly Martial Holy Land was indeed stronger than Emperor Xi Sect, but not by much. Should the two major sects go to war, it would undoubtedly be damaging and deplete their Primordial Qi, so unless absolutely necessary, an all-out faction war would not erupt.
After all, once a sect war breaks out, killing a thousand enemies might result in the loss of eight hundred of one’s own. Such high-level conflicts often led to extrely severe consequences. It wouldn’t be impossible for the Heavenly Martial Holy Land to lose its status as one of the dominant forces in the Central Domain.
There were too many considerations involved to take the decision lightly.
"I understand that. Leave the arrangents to the Sect."
Ye Xuan bowed his hands in gratitude. He was already imnsely thankful that Elder Xue could arrive in ti. As for a Sect war, let’s forget about it. Yuxiaozi, he would deal with him himself without relying on the power of the Sect.
"Your friend here seems to have suffered quite a heavy injury."
Elder Xue looked at Ling Qianxue beside Ye Xuan. She was already unconscious, her aura weak, her injuries not light.
"She overexerted her True Yuan to protect , leading to her current unconscious state."
Ye Xuan carried Ling Qianxue in his arms and then looked over to Jun Luoyu on the other side, "Sorry, but I have to take her away today. In so ti, I will deliver an unhard person to your Snow God Mountain."
"I will tell Master," Jun Luoyu stared at Ye Xuan and said coldly, "But you better heal Junior Sister quickly, or I won’t let you off."
After what had just happened, he realized that Ling Qianxue would never go to such lengths for anyone else, yet Ye Xuan managed to force out the power within her. This undoubtedly showed how much Ling Qianxue liked Ye Xuan, and that he would never stand a chance.
But at the sa ti, he also greatly resented Ye Xuan. If it weren’t for him, Ling Qianxue wouldn’t have been seriously injured.
"Don’t worry."
Ye Xuan didn’t care; he was going to make sure Ling Qianxue recovered no matter what, and more so, he would ensure that such an incident would not happen again in the future.
If only he had left earlier, or used the Jade Talisman that Elder Xue had given him, this scene might not have occurred.
All of this stemd from his conceit. Ascending to the top of the Martial God Tower, scoring victory after victory, and finally gaining the ability to freeze space had made Ye Xuan sowhat cocky, and Yuxiaozi’s appearance served as a heavy blow to him.
Even though he was almost peerless among the younger generation, the possibility of the older generation’s masters wanting to put him to death was not impossible.
Even with the Martial Arts Primordial Spirit, which was an almost perverse trump card, if one were exposed or an enemy struck before you could react, death was likely the only outco.
"Complacency leads to defeat, a truism indeed."
Ye Xuan inwardly lanted, this incident being truly a lesson.
"Ye Xuan, given that this young lady has been injured like this in her efforts to save you, the Sect is duty-bound to help. Whatever you need, just say it, and the Sect will try its best to fulfill your request."
Elder Xue too sighed.
"Thank you, Supre Elder."
Ye Xuan cast a grateful look, knowing Ling Qianxue’s injuries were severe this ti and required many dicinal materials, so of which were quite rare and might be troubleso to collect. With provisions from the Heavenly Martial Holy Land, it would be much simpler.
"Elder Xue worried that Ye Xuan, in his youthful zeal, might rush off to confront Yuxiaozi and find himself in over his head, so he cautioned him, "Today’s matter will one day be avenged by the Sect; put aside your grudge with Emperor Xi Sect for the ti being."
"I’m not that foolish."
Ye Xuan nodded, but his eyes flashed with a chilling coldness. This did not an the matter would simply be forgotten; Yuxiaozi, today’s events would be repaid a hundredfold.
Yuxiaozi would not be able to act so tyrannically for much longer.
Upon his return, Ye Xuan resolved to isolate himself and undergo hard cultivation to heal Ling Qianxue, focusing on elevating his own cultivation level.
Among his peers, he now far surpassed others in strength, but cultivation was a major weakness for him. With nurous Holy Essence Stones in hand, advancing to a Second Grade Martial Saint was totally feasible.
Yuxiaozi was only a Fifth Grade Martial Saint. Despite the substantial difference now, catching up was just a matter of ti for soone with Ye Xuan’s potential.
Moreover, he might not need to take on Yuxiaozi personally; he could use other powers at his disposal, and perhaps even make the entire Emperor Xi Sect pay a bloody price for today’s events.
