Despite the pitch-black night, the City Lord's Manor, and indeed the entire Divine Mechanism City, was bustling with activity, a scene of turbulent undercurrents.
Teams of cultivators moved back and forth in the City Lord's Manor, like a large net covering every inch of the area.
Nevertheless, none of those Half-Emperor- emperors or prodigies were confident enough to find Ye Xuan.
There's no way around it, Ye Xuan is just too strange.
His strength may not be the strongest, but he certainly has a lot of tricks up his sleeve; you might not be able to find them even if you dug three feet into the ground.
Inside the central hall of the City Lord's Manor.
Liu Sheng sat in the main seat, along with the other four prodigies, all with extremely solemn expressions.
They didn't move, but their territory already covered an area of hundreds of miles in radius.
Within this area spanning hundreds of miles, nothing, no matter how small, can escape their perception.
As for the Half-Emperor level experts, apart from two who are still guarding the place, the rest have all gone out to join the search for Ye Xuan.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Xuan actually killed two monstrous geniuses and left calmly, which made those Half-Emperor take it extremely seriously.
They couldn't sleep or eat in peace until they found Ye Xuan Ye Xuan and killed him.
At the city gate.
The great battle continued, with streams of Han Bing Daoist energy surging from Han Bingning's body. The icy divine sword pierced through the void, relentlessly suppressing Huang Feng.
Huang Feng, a prodigy ranked high on the Divine Ranking, was originally extremely confident in himself.
But now, he no longer has that confidence.
Because at this moment, he was already starting to feel the strain.
Under Han Bingning's relentless attacks, he was forced to retreat repeatedly, only able to parry but unable to retaliate.
"What kind of supernatural power is this? Why does her domain feel so much stronger? How is this possible?"
Huang Feng struggled to defend himself while muttering to himself.
If this continues, he will have to ask for help.
Otherwise, he might very well have perished here.
However, he felt it would be too humiliating to need to ask for help when dealing with Han Bingning.
Therefore, he was very conflicted.
Han Bingning didn't care about anything else. Her Spiritual Qi kept erupting, her Daoist aura flowed, and her Ice Domain surged wildly, covering all directions. Her icy divine sword kept striking out, shaking the void.
At that moment, she had only one thought: to rush in and help Ye Xuan.
Even if they can't help Ye Xuan, it would be good if they could at least keep a few prodigies in check for Ye Xuan.
She wasn't Ye Xuan; those Half-Emperor wouldn't dare lay a hand on her. At most, it would be monstrous geniuses who would gang up on her.
But she didn't care anymore.
At the same time, she was also very shocked, because this Ice Domain was really too powerful and extremely compatible with her Ice Sacred Body.
Even now, he still doesn't understand where Ye Xuan got all these things from.
The City Lord's Manor.
Ye Xuan and four other cultivators traversed the City Lord's Manor's City Lord's Manor, their domains sweeping across the central area once more.
He saw the five prodigies and sensed the Half-Emperor hidden in the space.
However, Ye Xuan didn't care much.
So what if he's a monster? So what if he's Half-Emperor?
If you can't surround him immediately, then you're useless against him.
"This bracelet is a problem. Should I lose it? If I do, it's very likely to be discovered. But if I don't lose it, being monitored isn't a solution either."
Ye Xuan began to ponder. If he wanted to commit the murder, he first needed to resolve the issue of the bracelet.
Because this bracelet is essentially a tracking and monitoring device; his every move, even his location, is under the enemy's control.
It's better if he doesn't show his face; no one will suspect him, and he won't be in any danger.
But if their identity is exposed, it will be a huge problem.
"There are powerful figures fighting outside the city, and one of their auras seems to belong to Master. Is Master planning to break in?"
Ye Xuan also sensed the fluctuations coming from the city gate.
The battle between the Saint Realm experts was so massive that he couldn't possibly be unaware of it.
However, Ye Xuan wasn't too worried for the time being.
The battle has dragged on for so long without ending, clearly indicating that Han Bingning is not at a disadvantage.
Moreover, he could vaguely sense that the Han Bing had the upper hand.
"Should we try to break through first? If we can break through to the Saint realm, it will be much easier to kill those monstrous geniuses."
Ye Xuan fell into deep thought once again.
He was conflicted.
Breaking through to a higher realm now isn't impossible, because he feels he already has enough resources.
However, breaking through to a higher realm at this moment still carries considerable risk.
Could his Draw the Ground as a Prison withstand the fierce attacks of several Half-Emperor level experts?
Even if they could block it, how long could they hold out? Could they successfully sustain him until he breaks through to the next realm?
These are all problems.
After all, breaking through to a higher realm takes time, especially for him.
Because when he cultivates, the noise he makes is just too great.
"Monster, Tianjiao, top-ranked expert on the Divine Ranking —how laughable!"
Ye Xuan whispered again, and as soon as he finished speaking, a huge roar suddenly came from the city gate.
The roar resounded in all directions, deafeningly loud, and Ye Xuan suddenly looked in that direction.
In the sky, a brilliant sun seemed to be dimming.
"No--"
Immediately afterwards, a suppressed and unwilling roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and then, the dim sun, like a firefly, was extinguished in an instant.
An aura quickly dissipated, Ye Xuan's heart trembled violently.
Is this... a fall?
" Han Bingning, how dare you!"
" Huang Feng!"
Almost the instant the sun went out and its aura dissipated, several angry growls resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
The next moment, several incredibly powerful auras rushed towards the city gate.
There are Half-Emperor, and there are monsters.
Ye Xuan clearly noticed that of the five prodigies who were originally in the palace, two had left, leaving only three.
However, Ye Xuan did not charge forward; instead, he made a move to head towards the city gate.
Han Bingning is in danger; he has to go check on her.
But at that moment, a fire dragon suddenly appeared, illuminating the entire void. The next instant, an incomparably majestic voice resounded throughout the entire city.
"Anyone in the Emperor Realm who dares to make a move shall die!"
With the sound, flames surged into the sky in an instant. Then, another roar came, and a Half-Emperor snorted coldly. His body, like a mountain, exploded instantly, staining the void with blood.
Upon seeing this, Ye Xuan's eyes flashed with divine light, and in the next instant, he vanished from his spot.
