The City Lord's Manor.
Sha Yong, who was chatting and laughing with Luocha, suddenly stood up, his face somewhat gloomy.
The next moment, without even saying goodbye to Luocha, he vanished from the City Lord's Manor.
When Sha Yong reappeared, he was already outside the city.
However, the place was already deserted, and even he could no longer sense Ye Xuan's presence.
Luocha's figure appeared quickly, his expression also somewhat unpleasant.
He asked, "Where is he? Did he escape?"
Sha Yong said with a gloomy face, "It seems I underestimated Ye Xuan. I really didn't expect that even with Elder Cang's intervention, they still couldn't defeat him."
Luocha asked, "In your opinion, where did Ye Xuan escape to?"
Sha Yong said, "He most likely escaped into Dragon Whisker City. He wants to enter the core of the Divine Island, and Dragon Whisker City is a necessary stop on his way."
"Given his personality, I doubt he would pass up the opportunity to enter the core of the Divine Island."
With that, Sha Yong waved his hand. "Let's go back and seal off the city first. Next time Ye Xuan appears, I, Sha, will personally take action."
Sha Yong finished speaking, he disappeared again and returned to the City Lord's Manor.
Luocha also returned.
Soon, a series of orders were issued from the City Lord's Manor.
Moreover, the four Half-Emperor personally sealed off the four gates of Dragon Whisker City —east, west, south, and north—and set up layers of restrictions.
As for Dragon Whisker City, almost all the cultivators mobilized.
They rampaged through the area, searching everywhere.
This scene instantly caused a huge sensation in Dragon Whisker City.
Countless cultivators were shocked.
What exactly happened that made Sha Yong hold such a grand event?
When they learned that Ye Xuan had not been killed but had escaped, they were even more shocked.
A mere Half-Saint cultivator, even a powerhouse on the Divine Ranking, couldn't possibly escape when surrounded by dozens of the Saint Realm experts, and even an Emperor Realm expert, right?
How exactly did Ye Xuan manage to do that?
In an instant, the entire Dragon Whisker City was in an uproar because of this incident, causing widespread panic and unease.
Especially for those cultivators with low cultivation levels, it was already extremely difficult for them to come here, and they could face life-or-death crises at any moment.
To experience something like this again at this moment would be a disaster for them.
Because the cultivators of the Sha Yong faction are all extremely powerful and ruthless.
During the search, any monks who got into arguments or were deemed suspicious were arrested.
Those who dare to resist will only face one outcome: death.
This also demonstrates the domineering nature of people like Sha Yong.
After entering Dragon Whisker City, Ye Xuan quickly found refuge in a restaurant after several detours.
He found an empty room, sneaked inside, and began cultivating to recover.
Ye Xuan was extremely experienced in this kind of search and capture.
He showed no panic and simply began cultivating in a carefree manner.
To be honest, during the previous battle, even when facing dozens of the Saint Realm experts, he did not suffer any major injuries.
Only at the very last moment, when he was struck by that Emperor Realm expert, would it be fatal.
At that time, Ye Xuan was already past his prime, and the continuous bursts of power had greatly depleted his energy.
Therefore, having taken a blow from that Emperor Realm, Ye Xuan was truly seriously injured.
If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, Teleportation away almost the instant the barrier Draw the Ground as a Prison, he would probably be dead by now.
"Damn it, these bastards, they actually dared to pull this trick on me, it's truly despicable."
"And that Sha Yong, he actually dared to lay a hand on me, that's really good."
"Since you provoked me first, then I'll be going to stick with you for the rest of the time."
Ye Xuan muttered to himself, then waved his right hand, and more than a dozen spatial rings appeared in his hand.
He channeled his spiritual sense into it and couldn't help but grin.
As expected of Tianjiao who thrives in the core of the Divine Island, Ye Xuan saw no less than a million low-grade immortal stones among these dozen or so spatial rings alone.
A million low-grade immortal stones! What does that even mean?
It should be noted that most of the Saint Realm experts in the Lower Realm cultivate using high-grade spirit stones; they have never even seen top-grade spirit stones.
As for top-grade and high-grade spirit stones, as well as all sorts of rare and precious materials, the spatial ring also contains many of them.
However, Ye Xuan clearly looked down on those things.
With a slight flicker in his eyes, Ye Xuan waved his hand again, and more than ten holy weapons appeared before him—truly top-tier holy weapons.
This thing is priceless, because it's practically impossible to find in the Lower Realm.
"Although it was a bit dangerous, the gains were pretty good. I'll lie low for a while, then go play with them."
A cold glint flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes once more, and he immediately began cultivating.
He mainly used low-grade immortal stones, supplemented by mid-to-high-grade immortal stones, along with the immortal energy he collected in the secret realm.
Ye Xuan's cultivation yielded remarkable results.
In just a short time, the Immortal Spiritual Qi had already turned into mist and surged wildly into Ye Xuan's body.
In less than half an hour, Ye Xuan's energy was quickly replenished, and his injuries began to heal rapidly.
While Ye Xuan was engrossed in this frenzied cultivation and recovery, the outside world became even more chaotic.
Countless cultivators were rampaging everywhere, sweeping across the land, searching for Ye Xuan's whereabouts.
However, they all came up empty-handed.
There was no way around it; Dragon Whisker City was simply too vast.
Sha Yong had only temporarily taken control of the city, and his foundation was not very stable.
Even with a large number of men under his command, it was simply unrealistic to cover the entire city in a short period of time.
The fact that he couldn't find Ye Xuan for a long time gave Sha Yong a headache and made him feel very depressed.
In his eyes, Ye Xuan was a great opportunity.
Now that the great opportunity has slipped away, how can he possibly stay calm?
" Elder Cang, go to the outer city and deal with that woman. Use her to force Ye Xuan to show himself!"
Left with no other choice, Sha Yong gave the Elder Cang this order.
The woman Sha Yong was referring to was naturally Yin Tianjiao.
He had investigated Ye Xuan, so he also knew about Ye Xuan's relationship with Yin Tianjiao.
However, he would only resort to such methods as a last resort.
You can send people to besiege Ye Xuan, or you can use your cultivation level to pressure Ye Xuan; neither of these is a problem.
However, using other people, especially an outsider woman, to deal with Ye Xuan would be rather despicable.
Moreover, Sha Yong did not believe that Ye Xuan and Yin Tianjiao had a particularly good relationship, and that Yin Tianjiao.
But now, unable to find Ye Xuan for a long time and fearing unforeseen circumstances, he had no choice but to resort to this last resort.
"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the Elder Cang didn't waste any words, responded, and immediately disappeared from the spot.
This Elder Cang was none other than the Half-Emperor who had injured Ye Xuan that day.
