Ye Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he instantly stopped in his tracks, adopting a fearful expression.
These dozen or so people were all at the Half-Emperor Realm, with the strongest being only at the Peak Half-Emperor.
Even though Ye Xuan couldn't defeat these people, he believed that escaping wouldn't be a problem.
Soon, more than a dozen cultivators surrounded Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan's face paled slightly as he clasped his hands in greeting and asked, "May I ask what brings you all here?"
Those Blood Baleful Intent Sect members looked at Ye Xuan with disdain when they saw him so cowardly.
The leader, Peak Half-Emperor, looked at Ye Xuan with his triangular eyes and asked in a low voice, "Where do you come from, and which faction do you belong to?"
Ye Xuan said, "I am a wanderer, and I plan to seek survival in Starry Sky City."
This statement is correct, because there are many wanderers in the starry sky.
However, those homeless people are in extreme danger, living a precarious existence.
One wrong move and you'll be killed.
"Wanderer?"
The Peak Half-Emperor frowned slightly, and his spiritual sense swept out instantly, landing on Ye Xuan.
He examined it carefully for a moment, then suddenly let out a soft hum.
Saint Realm Seventh Layer?
This cultivation level is far too weak, far too weak; it's even weaker than an ant.
I really don't know how someone with such cultivation has survived until now.
However, this proves that Ye Xuan could not possibly be the murderer who killed the young lady.
Originally, he had intended to capture Ye Xuan and take him back to mine, but now that he sensed Ye Xuan's cultivation level, the Peak Half-Emperor instantly lost interest and even lost the desire to kill Ye Xuan.
After all, bullying the weak is quite boring.
"Get lost."
The Peak Half-Emperor waved his hand, then without saying a word, he and his men vanished from the spot in an instant.
Ye Xuan watched the other person leave, cursing inwardly.
If this place weren't so close to Starry Sky City, I would have wiped you all out. What are you so arrogant about?
Peak Half-Emperor, is that all there is to it?
Thinking this to himself, Ye Xuan secretly admired his own cleverness. If he hadn't deliberately let the other party sense his cultivation level, how could a mere Peak Half-Emperor possibly have detected anything?
Without further ado, Ye Xuan continued toward Starry Sky City.
Before long, Ye Xuan arrived Starry Sky City.
At the same time, he also heard a lot of talk.
"Damn it, who killed Elder Xue Huo's granddaughter? They deserve to die!"
"Yes, Elder Xue Huo has gone on a killing spree. Who knows how many cultivators he's killed in the last few days."
"That damned murderer! He really killed someone! If we knew who he was, we would definitely kill him!"
Meanwhile, at the site where the girl had fallen, Elder Xue Huo had already arrived.
Upon seeing Elder Xue Huo arrive, the Blood Baleful Intent Sect cultivators who had been waiting there beforehand immediately knelt on one knee.
"Greetings, Elder Xue Huo!"
Elder Xue Huo didn't even glance at those people; he simply stared into the void before him, his blood-red robes fluttering, and a chilling light emanating from his eyes.
"Granddaughter, don't worry, no matter who killed you, Grandpa will not let them get away with it! Anyone who dares to kill you, Grandpa will make sure their entire family pays the price, never to be reincarnated!"
Elder Xue Huo gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with cold light, exuding a chilling killing intent.
A moment later, he extended his right hand and suddenly flicked his fingers.
A drop of blood suddenly appeared.
The next moment, the drop of blood flew into the air. Elder Xue Huo formed a series of intricate and profound hand seals, striking the drop of blood as he uttered a low shout:
"Time rewinds, the murderer is now in the open!"
As the words fell, with a buzzing sound, the blood exploded instantly, turning into a blood-red curtain.
Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared on the blood-red curtain.
It was a human figure, initially blurry, but soon gradually becoming clearer.
