Han Bingning didn't speak, but her bright and pretty face was slightly cold, and her eyes held a chilling intent.
Meanwhile, at the city gate.
As the Ninth Ancestor slapped Ge Tian away, Ye Xuan swaggered into the city under the watchful eyes of everyone.
This time, even Lin Chengtian, the head of the Lin Clan who was still suspended in mid-air and had not left, did not dare to utter another word.
He watched Ye Xuan swagger into the city, his eyes slightly lowered; no one knew what he was thinking.
After Ye Xuan entered the city, he received a Han Bingning.
Han Bingning told him to find a place to stay on his own.
During this period, she will not make public appearances unless absolutely necessary.
Ye Xuan was somewhat speechless, but he didn't say anything more.
He merely strolled around Xuanyuan City before settling into one of the best restaurants.
As a holy son, Ye Xuan naturally deserves to stay in the best accommodations; he cannot disrespect the Ancient Desolate Holy Land.
This time, however, there were no more ridiculous incidents like someone being blind and provoking others.
As Ye Xuan settled in, his fame spread rapidly throughout Xuanyuan City.
In no time, almost all cultivators knew that the legendary holy son of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land had also come to Xuanyuan City, seemingly intending to participate in the competition for the next Xuanyuan Mystic Realm spot.
Not only that, this guy arrived and immediately and forcefully killed six Late Golden Core cultivators from the Lin Clan outside Xuanyuan City. He even publicly provoked Bai Feng and Zhou Wushuang, the Tianjiao of the Carefree Holy Land.
The most shocking thing is that Zhou Wushuang, that monstrous talent from the Carefree Holy Land, is a Golden Core Realm Ninth Level Zhou Wushuang.
He was actually unable to suppress Ye Xuan, who was only at the Wheel Sea Realm Fourth Level, and instead fell into a disadvantageous position in the brief exchange.
Once these things were spread, they immediately caused a huge uproar.
Ye Xuan's popularity was unparalleled at the time.
But these are not the most unsettling aspects.
What's most chilling is that Ge Tian, an elder of the Carefree Holy Land, actually dared to bully the weak and unleash his killing intent on Ye Xuan.
The patriarch of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land was even more domineering. He didn't even show his face before slapping Ge Tian away, causing Ge Tian to be seriously injured.
When this news spread, the younger generation was not too bothered, but the powerful figures and even the leaders of those Lineage were quite alarmed.
The Ancient Desolate Holy Land has been dormant for many years. Is it now unleashing its power again with the arrival of Ye Xuan, the holy son?
It should be noted that in recent days, the two elders of the Carefree Holy Land, as well as the young prodigies, have visited many powerful Lineage and forces.
Although not explicitly stated, their words implied a desire to forge an alliance, with the ultimate goal of targeting the Ancient Desolate Holy Land.
Originally, some Lineage forces were also swayed by the covert lobbying of the Carefree Holy Land.
But with that slap from the Ninth Ancestor, those Lineage that were already wavering fell silent once again.
Ye Xuan had just been named a Holy Son, yet he was already acting so ostentatiously.
Furthermore, the patriarch of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land showed no restraint and severely injured an elder of the Carefree Holy Land with a single slap.
Under these circumstances, would they still dare to form an alliance? The Carefree Holy Land might not fear the retaliation from the Ancient Desolate Holy Land, but what about them?
As the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. If they want to form an alliance, they should carefully consider the consequences and even make some worst-case plans.
The Ancient Desolate Holy Land, this once colossal entity.
Originally, his influence had waned, and he had been silent for many years; everyone only remembered his past glory.
However, today, with the Ninth Ancestor's powerful intervention, everyone was suddenly jolted awake.
Even if the Ancient Desolate Holy Land is weak and silent, it is still a fierce tiger!
Although the tiger has not shown its fangs for many years, this does not mean that it has lost its teeth!
The base of the Carefree Holy Land.
Inside a grand hall.
" The Ancient Desolate Holy Land is truly going too far. Are they planning to start a war with my Carefree Holy Land?"
"How dare a figure of the esteemed ancestor level lay a hand on this elder? How dare he?"
"How awful, how awful!!!"
With an angry roar, Ge Tian's expression turned ferocious and his face twisted, making him look like a vengeful ghost, which was extremely terrifying!
That slap from the Ninth Ancestor was no small matter for him.
Although he wasn't killed or crippled, he did suffer extremely serious internal injuries.
Even a random Nascent Soul could easily kill him right now.
Elder Zhuang Hai, who had come with Ge Tian Ge Tian, sat next to him without saying a word.
Only after Ge Tian had finished venting did he say, "Now that it's already happened, there's no point in saying anything more."
"The fact that the patriarch of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land personally protected Ye Xuan and descended upon Xuanyuan City was something no one had expected."
"I have informed the Holy Lord, and he has replied that a figure of the Ancestor level will arrive soon."
Recalling the slap from the Ninth Ancestor, Zhuang Hai felt a chill run down his spine.
Although they were elders of the Carefree Holy Land, they were still far inferior to the ancestors of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land.
One slap would be enough to kill them.
If anyone is to blame, it's the Carefree Holy Land for having had it too easy all these years. They never imagined that the long-dormant Ancient Desolate Holy Land would suddenly become so brutal, resorting to violence at the slightest provocation.
If they had known this would happen, their Carefree Holy Land should have sent an elder to lead the team.
If that's the case, then the Ninth Ancestor's slap might not be effective.
"What happened to those fence-sitters? With the Ancient Desolate Holy Land pulling such a move, I'm afraid those wavering Lineage don't dare to express their opinions now, right?"
Ge Tian forcibly suppressed his anger and asked through gritted teeth.
Zhuang Hai nodded. "Yes, many Lineage, while still outwardly respectful to us, are no longer as casual and enthusiastic as before."
"Clearly, the actions of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land have instilled fear and pressure in them as well."
Snap!
Upon hearing this, Ge Tian couldn't contain his anger and slapped the side wall. With a loud crash, the entire wall collapsed instantly.
He gritted his teeth and said, " Ye Xuan, it's all that bastard Ye Xuan's fault!"
"At such a young age, he is so treacherous, cunning, ruthless, and vicious that he even dares to trick an old man like me!"
"If he dares to participate in this competition for a spot in the secret realm, he must die!"
Zhuang Hai didn't respond, but a murderous glint appeared in his eyes.
"Elder Ge, rest assured, as long as Ye Xuan dares to participate in this competition for the secret realm's spots, I will take care of him!"
Accompanied by the sound, a young man dressed in black stepped in.
The young man in black was handsome, but his expression was cold.
Although there was no aura emanating from him, he gave off an extremely dangerous and domineering feeling.
This person is yet another prodigy from the Carefree Holy Land, Zang Xingtian!
Like Zhou Wushuang, he was also at the Golden Core Realm Ninth Level, but it is said that his combat strength was much stronger than Zhou Wushuang's.
Restaurant.
Ye Xuan was unaware of what was happening on Ge Tian's side and didn't care at all.
He had been extremely high-profile when he first entered the city, but after settling into the restaurant, he became unusually low-key.
He spent almost every day cultivating in his room, never leaving the house. Even his meals were delivered directly to his room by others.
This left those who had come hoping to catch a glimpse of his divine presence extremely disappointed.
