After leaving the Law Enforcement Heavenly Prison, Ye Xiwen finally let out a slight sigh of relief. Whether it had been the early days when he was hunted down, or later when he deliberately created hardships for himself, he could not relax for even a single minute within the Law Enforcement Heavenly Prison.
He had to remain taut every moment. Yet once he left the Law Enforcement Heavenly Prison, the atmosphere immediately changed. Especially when the wind laden with spiritual energy blew toward him, it made him feel as though every meridian in his body had opened wide. In a place like the Law Enforcement Heavenly Prison, even the wind carried resentment and dryness; it was utterly unfit for survival.
Ye Xiwen was unlikely to enter the Law Enforcement Heavenly Prison again anytime soon. Within it, he was in an awkward position. Below the Half-step Celestial Realm, there seemed to be no one left who could match him. Yet above the Half-step Celestial Realm, there was no one he could contend with. If things continued this way, no amount of tempering would yield much effect.
The ones guarding the main gate were still those four terrifying elder experts. Even with Ye Xiwen's current insight, he could not see through their exact cultivation, but they seemed even more formidable than Ye Jianshan.
When they saw Ye Xiwen emerge, the four did not even glance at him, standing there like four stone statues.
Ye Xiwen did not linger. He took a single step, transformed into a streak of light, and left Law Enforcement City, returning to the Welcoming Guest City gathering. Compared to a year ago, Welcoming Guest City was undoubtedly far more desolate. The once-in-a-century Family Ceremony had passed, and many visiting guests and branch family experts had long since departed.
