Ye Xuan looked disdainfully at Ji Xuan, Feng Qinglong, and the other eight, then fell into deep thought.
If the other side consists of only these eight people, then he wouldn't be too afraid.
The problem is, there are more than eight people on the other side.
Besides these eight people, there was also Old Zhu, who was at the Half-Emperor Realm, and the Half-Emperor protectors behind the eight Tianjiao.
These are all factors that Ye Xuan needs to consider.
"Damn, having connections really makes things extraordinary; it's hard to kill someone like that."
Ye Xuan cursed under his breath.
Ultimately, it all comes down to him having no connections.
If he has connections, then there's no need to even consider the matter of powerful protectors.
Because the powerful protectors dare not, and cannot, make a move.
Otherwise, the powerful protectors and forces behind him are not to be underestimated.
Take Han Bingning for example. Even if these people wanted to harm Han Bingning, they would only act on their own and would not gang up on her.
As for the Half-Emperor, even that Old Zhu wouldn't dare to step in easily.
But Ye Xuan is different. To put it bluntly, he's just a nobody with no powerful connections, so people aren't afraid of him at all.
If someone of the same cultivation level can crush you, that would be ideal. But if they can't crush you and a powerful protector appears and kills you, then your death would be in vain.
This is reality.
"Take them out silently? Eliminate them one by one? But what if that angers the Half-Emperor behind them, and they come after us?"
Ye Xuan did not act rashly, but instead fell into deep thought.
This is a problem that must be considered.
At the same time.
Han Bingning also sensed the situation within Divine Mechanism City and was immediately alarmed.
Eight extraordinary talents, what a formidable lineup!
She really underestimated these people.
She never expected that Ye Xuan's mere entry into the city would attract eight extraordinary talents.
This is absolutely terrifying.
Even when Ye Xuan killed Xiao Zhan and Luocha, there were no more than eight top geniuses present.
Moreover, those monstrous talents have not yet formed a united front and have no intention of besieging and killing Ye Xuan.
But now...
"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! Do they really think Ye Xuan has no powerful backers?"
Han Bingning's eyes flashed with a cold light as she gritted her teeth, preparing herself for battle.
She would definitely step in if Ye Xuan were in danger.
Of course, she wouldn't easily intervene or cause trouble for Ye Xuan Ye Xuan he was in dire straits.
"These so-called Tianjiao are shameless! They actually plan to ambush Ye Xuan. Do they have their eyes on his Chaos Sacred Body?"
Han Bingning wasn't stupid, and she quickly figured these things out.
···
"What should we do now? Ye Xuan has vanished without a trace; we don't even know where he went. How can we possibly make a move?"
Ji Xuan searched the area but couldn't find Ye Xuan, and he was somewhat distraught.
The eight prodigies arrived with overwhelming force, but they couldn't find Ye Xuan anywhere. They stood in the void like fools—what kind of nonsense was this?
What a disgrace!
If this gets out, it'll probably be a laughing stock.
Feng Qinglong and the others didn't look too good either. They searched around, their spiritual senses probing the surroundings.
However, both attempts yielded nothing.
Ye Xuan disappeared in a flash, so they had no idea where Ye Xuan went.
Not to mention them, even Old Zhu, that Half-Emperor, didn't know where Ye Xuan had gone.
What's the point of killing anyone if we can't even find them?
"What are they doing?"
"Who knows? The gathering of eight powerful figures in Divine Mechanism City must mean something big is happening. We just don't know what it is."
"Could this be targeting Ye Xuan? Could it be that Ye Xuan has come to Divine Mechanism City?"
"No way, if Ye Xuan were here, they would have already started fighting. But they haven't even made a move yet, have they?"
The people below were also completely bewildered and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
Ji Xuan and the others listened to this discussion, and their expressions were quite interesting.
They exchanged a glance, then their figures flickered and they vanished from the spot.
Only Old Zhu remained hidden in the void, not having left.
Ye Xuan remained calm and composed, neither making a move nor taking any action.
A spiritual sense swept over his location, but he couldn't be bothered to pay it any attention.
Ye Xuan could still sense that it was the consciousness of that Half-Emperor.
This guy wanted to stay hidden in the shadows and see if I would show myself.
Ye Xuan could only say one thing: you're overthinking it.
He's not that stupid; why would he go against Half-Emperor?
If we're going to kill, we should naturally kill those monsters first. Not only are they easy to kill, but we can also plunder their resources.
His goal was to plunder resources and achieve sainthood as soon as possible, not simply to kill.
"Since they've all left, I'll leave too. Let's see if there's a chance to take out one of those eight. I refuse to believe you'll stay holed up in the City Lord's Manor forever."
Ye Xuan hardened his heart, and in the next moment, he vanished from the spot like a ghost.
When he reappeared, he was already outside the City Lord's Manor. Ye Xuan did not go in immediately, but began to quickly investigate.
This City Lord's Manor is actually quite impressive.
Two Early Half-Saint guarded the entrance, and inside there were hundreds of the Saint Realm auras.
It must be said that there are a lot of powerful individuals in this core area.
Saint Realm are as common as dogs.
Ye Xuan felt that even with his Half-Saint cultivation level, he was struggling to keep up.
"Should we try charging in? No, if we just charge in, how are we any different from a brute? It's better to sneak in than to charge in."
Just then, one of the two guarding monks suddenly left the doorway.
Ye Xuan blinked. Was this a deliberate attempt to give him an opportunity, or a trap?
Thinking about this, he became even more vigilant.
When the cultivator completely disappeared from sight and Ye Xuan no longer sensed the other party's spiritual sense probing this area, he Teleportation teleported away from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already behind the Half-Saint monk who had been left at the door.
The cultivator was completely unaware of Ye Xuan's appearance.
Ye Xuan sensed the area again and, finding no one using their spiritual sense to investigate, threw a punch.
With a loud bang.
The poor Half-Saint didn't even have time to react before Ye Xuan blasted him to death.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Xuan transformed into his appearance and changed into his clothes.
The entire process took less than a second.
When the other gatekeeper returned, everything was already done, and he hadn't noticed anything.
Ye Xuan looked at that guy, but he had some doubts in his heart.
Should we kill this guy and have Han Bingning impersonate him?
After all, if the two of them were together and started talking, he might very well give himself away.
But considering that Han Bingning was definitely being watched, she decided against it.
After the cultivator returned, he didn't say anything, and the two stood silently at the door.
This relieved Ye Xuan.
But in reality, Ye Xuan was still extremely unhappy.
Damn it, he's a Divine Ranking, yet he's here guarding the gate for a bunch of scum. That's a bit embarrassing.
He felt he would let himself down if he couldn't take down those guys.
