The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears.
The next moment, the once bustling city outside suddenly became silent.
The leaves fall silently.
Everyone raised their heads and looked towards the city gate.
There stood a tall and imposing figure.
This man had thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a fierce appearance.
He gripped a long spear, his aura surging, like a raging beast.
The spear tip, emitting a sharp gust of wind, pointed directly at Ye Xuan, who was stepping through the void, exuding a chilling aura.
"Hiss--What's going on? How dare he stop Holy Son Ye? Is he courting death? In front of everyone, he dares to slap the face of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land like this. Has this guy gone mad?"
"Tch, you know nothing. This is clearly a show of force against Holy Son Ye. I recognize that person; he's a master from the Lin Clan, and his cultivation has reached the Golden Core Realm Sixth Level."
"Hehe, this is going to be interesting. Although Holy Son Ye is of noble status, he is alone after all, without any elders from his sect accompanying him. If they pretend not to know him and refuse him entry into the city, that would be quite embarrassing."
"Who says otherwise? Two months ago, Holy Son Ye's cultivation was only at the Essence Condensation Seventh Layer Golden Core First Layer Realm, and his combat strength was comparable to Huang Sha, who was at the first level of the Golden Core Realm. Even if he breaks through quickly now, he still cannot match Golden Core Realm Sixth Level expert."
A brief silence followed, then the entire scene erupted in cheers!
Ye Xuan, the legendary holy son of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land.
His rise to power was incredibly rapid, and he has garnered far too many accolades.
In just a few months, he had transformed from an ordinary person into the most dazzling jewel in the entire Eastern Wasteland.
It's no exaggeration to say that in the past six months, Ye Xuan has been the most outstanding among the younger Tianjiao!
In this situation, seeing someone step forward to intimidate Ye Xuan, many people were momentarily gloating.
In a house not far from the city gate, two young men sat facing each other.
The young man on the left is named Lin Yang. His cultivation has reached the Golden Core Realm Seventh Level, making him a Tianjiao among the younger generation of the Lin Clan.
The young man on the right is named Bai Feng. His cultivation level is also at the Golden Core Realm Seventh Level, but he is a prodigy from the Carefree Holy Land Tianjiao.
Behind them stood an old man.
The old man had lowered his head and looked like a servant, but his aura was very powerful; he was a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Lin Clan.
Lin Yang looked out the window at this scene, a mocking smile creeping onto his lips.
He sneered and said disdainfully, "A mere Holy Son of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land, without any elders accompanying him, dares to enter the city like this? Does he really think this is your Ancient Desolate Holy Land? How laughable!"
Bai Feng smiled and said, "Perhaps he's been too pampered after gaining power. Let's teach him a lesson this time, and next time he'll know that he's nothing outside the Ancient Desolate Holy Land."
The old man behind him kept his eyes lowered and remained silent.
Outside the city.
Above the void.
Ye Xuan stopped in his tracks.
He lowered his head slightly, looking down at the burly cultivator with the gaze one would give an ant, and said indifferently, "Why didn't you stop those people ahead from entering the city, but you insisted on stopping me?"
Ye Xuan's voice was calm, showing no sign of joy or anger.
He did not invoke his status as the Holy Son, nor did he use his power to intimidate others.
The burly man before them was at the Golden Core Realm Sixth Level.
With such cultivation, they must have already heard the commotion outside the city very clearly.
Even so, this guy still dared to come out and obstruct us; it was clearly intentional.
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, the burly man scoffed disdainfully, "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to compare yourself to him?"
"He is Tianjiao, a Golden Core Realm expert. You, a mere Wheel Sea, dare to compare yourself to him?"
Ye Xuan's voice remained calm. "Oh, so you stopped me because I'm weak?"
The burly man nodded straightforwardly. "That's right, don't you understand that the strong are respected? If you don't have the strength, then get down there and line up obediently!"
"Anyone who dares to fly into the city again will be considered a provocation against Xuanyuan City and the Lin Clan, and will be killed without exception!"
His voice was icy, and as he finished speaking, a murderous aura surged forth.
Those watching this scene outside the city felt a mixture of schadenfreude and rage.
One of the female cultivators couldn't help but blush with anger, feeling that this burly man was going too far.
She shouted, "This is the Holy Son Ye of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land! Are you blind? You dare to stop him?"
Upon hearing this, the burly man's eyes suddenly turned cold.
The next second, his aura suddenly exploded, and he stepped out.
He trembled his spear, stirring up gusts of fierce Gale, and with a whoosh, he thrust it towards the female cultivator.
The female cultivator was horrified at the sight. She unleashed her aura and retreated frantically.
With a deafening roar, the spear tip slammed into the ground, causing a violent tremor and creating numerous cracks that were blasted into the earth – a truly shocking sight.
The surrounding cultivators, witnessing this scene, had already scattered in all directions, still shaken.
The burly male cultivator didn't attack again, but instead looked at the equally shaken female cultivator and said coldly:
"You say he's Holy Son Ye, so is he Holy Son Ye?"
"Given Holy Son Ye's status, he would always be surrounded by a retinue of servants when he goes out. How could he be like this? It's truly laughable!"
Ye Xuan watched this scene quietly, neither stopping it nor making a sound.
Because he could tell that the burly man's previous shot was merely a deterrent, and he had no intention of killing the female cultivator.
Moreover, the fact that this person was so sarcastic and aggressive towards him, yet so "respectful" to " Holy Son Ye," clearly indicates that he is also a scheming person.
However, although Ye Xuan appeared calm on the surface, the anger in his heart was already raging!
At that moment, the burly man had already leaped back onto the city wall, his spear pointed at Ye Xuan, and he coldly said, "Get down! Didn't you hear me?"
Ye Xuan remained silent, his expression unchanged.
Seeing this scene, everyone outside the city couldn't help but shake their heads inwardly.
Just when everyone thought that Ye Xuan would have no choice but to back down and roll away under the burly man's aggressive pressure—
A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and in the next instant, Ye Xuan's aura exploded, his Spiritual Qi surging wildly!
He stepped into the void, his body like a dragon, and in an instant, he charged towards the burly cultivator.
An overwhelming pressure descended, causing the air to explode with a deafening roar, a sound that shook the heavens and the earth!
When the burly man saw Ye Xuan charging towards him, his expression changed drastically!
He never imagined that Ye Xuan, who was only at the Wheel Sea Realm Fourth Level, would actually dare to attack him.
However, he quickly regained his senses, and a ferocious expression appeared on his fleshy face!
" Holy Son Ye?"
"Hmph! You started it!"
"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"
