"What? These mere barbarians from the Eastern Wasteland dare to kill Venerable Realm Peak Stage from my Great Yun Dynasty, and even dare to detain a princess of my Great Yun Dynasty?"
In the majestic palace of the Great Yun Dynasty, Yun Tianyang, clad in a dragon robe, was furious upon receiving the news!
Below, the Great Yun Dynasty felt the imperial majesty and Half-Saint pressure emanating from Yun Tianyang, and all lowered their heads, none daring to utter a sound.
The emperor of the Great Yun Dynasty, Yun Tianyang, was a true Peak Half-Saint, a terrifying existence who was just one step away from entering the Saint Realm.
In the entire Azure Cloud Domain, he absolutely stood at the pinnacle, being one of the strongest supreme Supreme.
" Yun Chen, you personally lead a group to Linfeng City and bring those two Eastern Wasteland back to me."
"I, the Emperor, would like to see just how many heads they have, daring to act so presumptuously in my Azure Cloud Domain!"
After a long while, Yun Tianyang finally suppressed his anger and unleashed the majesty of Half-Saint, giving an order to the person below.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the man dared not disobey in the slightest, bowed in agreement, and turned to leave.
His name is Yun Chen, one of the top ten strongest figures in the Great Yun Dynasty. His cultivation has reached the level of Three-Star Half-Saint, and his strength is extremely terrifying.
"Everyone, disperse!"
Seeing Yun Chen retreat, Yun Tianyang waved his hand, and the next moment, his figure disappeared silently.
As Peak Half-Saint, he shouldn't have been so enraged.
However, this matter is simply outrageous.
These are merely two Eastern Wasteland; the strongest of them, Han Bingning, is only at the Venerable Realm Third Stage.
Such ants dared to kill Venerable Realm Peak Stage of the Great Yun Dynasty, which was bad enough, but they also dared to detain a genius of the Great Yun Dynasty and openly extort money from him.
It would be strange if he weren't angry about something like this.
Shortly after Yun Tianyang gave the order, a figure soared into the sky from within the imperial city.
A vast and powerful aura erupted, sweeping across the sky and instantly spreading throughout the entire imperial city.
Immediately afterwards, a figure swiftly soared through the air and headed out of the city, shocking countless people.
The figure was none other than Yun Chen, Half-Saint Realm Third Layer.
He went alone, without anyone with him.
But as he was leaving, he told everyone that he, Yun Chen, was going to Linfeng City to settle this matter.
At the same time, it wasn't just the Great Yun Dynasty.
Even powerful forces like the Great Cang Dynasty, the Tyrant Gate, the Xu Clan, and the Myriad Phenomena Sect sent their Half-Saint level experts to Linfeng City, their bodies radiating murderous intent.
There's no way around it, this matter is just too terrible.
It's one thing to kill their people, but to openly extort them is simply outrageous!
If they don't respond forcefully and tear those two Eastern Wasteland from the Eastern Wilderness to pieces, where will their authority be? How will they lead their vassals?
"Have you heard? Major powers such as the Great Yun Dynasty, the Great Cang Dynasty, the Myriad Phenomena Sect Xu Clan have all sent Half-Saint experts to Linfeng City."
"Nonsense, everyone's heard of things like this. Looks like this is going to be really funny."
"Who says otherwise? But then again, those two guys from the Eastern Wasteland are just too arrogant."
"That's right. It's one thing for them to kill people, but they also dared to openly detain those geniuses and threaten to exchange resources for them. This is clearly extortion!"
"Hehe, this is what they mean by 'if you don't court death, you won't die.' This time, it's said that a full seven or eight Half-Saint experts were dispatched. Those two are doomed."
In an instant, the entire Azure Cloud Domain was in an uproar.
In the streets and alleys, in restaurants and teahouses, almost everyone was talking about it.
While they were shocked, they also admired the courage of Ye Xuan and his disciples.
That's more than just audacious!
This is clearly a recipe for disaster.
They all seemed to have foreseen the tragic end for Ye Xuan and his disciples.
Not only that, many audacious cultivators who lived close to Linfeng City also set off for Linfeng City, seemingly wanting to see a grand spectacle.
Compared to the outside world's commotion and excitement, Linfeng City remained remarkably quiet.
The Xian Lineage was even more tranquil.
Inside a courtyard.
Several young men and women sat listlessly around a round table, their faces showing utter despair.
They were the very same Tianjiao who had been kidnapped by Ye Xuan.
However, they were not imprisoned; instead, they were free to move around.
"Sigh, when will this end? I wonder when the Xu Clan will send someone."
"Someone's coming? So much time has passed, and there's still no sign of us. Do you think we've been abandoned?"
"How could that be? We're all Tianjiao, shouldn't they at least offer some assistance? Besides, abandoning us without even mentioning any conditions is unreasonable."
"Speaking of which, that Ye Xuan is simply too much! He just left us here without a care. Is this how you treat prisoners of war?"
"Exactly! At the very least, they should lock us up, ask about our identities, and calculate our value, right?"
"Alas, this princess is naturally beautiful, and from a young age she has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and has even cultivated enchanting arts, but unfortunately Ye Xuan really doesn't give her the slightest chance."
"Who says otherwise? This princess is full of talent but hasn't been able to use it. Bah, you're not a real man."
At this moment, this Tianjiao were gathered together, chatting idly, their faces filled with righteous indignation. They showed absolutely no sign of being prisoners of war.
It can be said that apart from not being able to leave the Xian Lineage or get close to the place where Ye Xuan and his disciples cultivated, they were completely unrestrained.
Even the food was personally delivered to them by those lackeys who were subservient to Ye Xuan.
They still provided three meals a day, with both wine and meat, truly treating them to delicious food and drinks.
But the more they did this, the more uncomfortable they felt, as they felt Ye Xuan was being disrespectful.
They're all Tianjiao, after all; they're all monstrous talents with some reputation in the Azure Cloud Domain.
How could you do that? It's clearly disrespectful.
You should at least lock them up and use torture to extract confessions. Is this the treatment prisoners of war should receive?
The women, in particular, who were stunningly beautiful, were filled with resentment.
Aren't all of them exceptionally talented and privileged?
Whether it's her looks, talent, or background, she's absolutely stunning—a true "rich, beautiful, and successful" woman.
Those sycophantic suitors are as numerous as carp crossing a river.
But what about Ye Xuan?
You should at least give yourself a chance to tempt yourself.
What if they succeed?
Wouldn't that save the Lineage a lot of cultivation resources?
However, Ye Xuan did not give them the opportunity to display their goddess-like talents.
Pah, you're not a man!
Just as these Tianjiao were discussing, the distant palace suddenly shone brightly.
Immediately afterwards, the dazzling and abundant Spiritual Qi surged forth as if it were free, and was instantly devoured.
At the same time, a powerful aura burst forth, and divine light enveloped the entire palace, making it appear incredibly mystical.
However, the divine light quickly dissipated, and the aura faded away as well.
"This is... a breakthrough?"
"How is that possible? It's only been a few days!"
"Hey, didn't you guys notice that his aura at the Heavenly Position Realm Second Level is a little different?"
"Also, the speed at which he absorbs Spiritual Qi is too fast!"
The group of Tianjiao were initially shocked by what they saw, but quickly fell silent.
Yeah, is this even human?
Is the Chaos Sacred Body really this lawless?
Inside the palace, Ye Xuan opened his eyes, a hint of joy appearing in them.
He's Heavenly Position Realm Second Level.
This feeling of breakthrough is so exhilarating!
Having cultivation resources makes all the difference.
"Ding! Congratulations, host! The Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Art has broken through to the fifth level, and the Primordial First Form has been mastered to perfection."
"Ding! Check-in count refreshed. Would you like to check in now?"
The seductive female voice echoed in his mind, leaving Ye Xuan somewhat dumbfounded.
When did I start cultivating the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Art? When did I start cultivating the Primordial First Form? How did I break through like this?
He only improved his cultivation by one level.
Is the system really that arbitrary?
He felt that the system's voice was becoming more and more human, more and more alluring, and less and less mechanical.
