CHAPTER 872: CHAPTER 866: MISSION ASSIGNED

"Heh, interesting."

A sharp glint flashed in Liu Xin’s eyes, yet his face was still full of smiles, as if he had not been angered at all.

However, he suddenly exchanged a glance with the man with triangular eyes beside him.

"Kid, how dare you boast? I, Zhao Zhijing, will confront you!"

The man with triangular eyes understood immediately, and he suddenly activated his True Yuan, charging violently towards Ye Xuan, boldly making a move.

The man with triangular eyes made a move, creating an astonishing commotion, erupting with sounds like wind and thunder. His cultivation level had actually reached the stage of a Seventh Grade Martial Saint.

Yan Shi watched coldly. He knew Ye Xuan’s strength; unless Liu Xin personally took action, it would be difficult for others to deal with Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan stood still in his spot, not moving, until the fist’s edge arrived in front of him, at which moment he raised his palm.

Pa!

The astonishing fist force exploded in front of Ye Xuan, yet most of the force was dissolved by Ye Xuan’s palm, so essentially most of the power was dispersed, posing no threat.

"What?"

Zhao Zhijing’s pupils slightly contracted; his fist hadn’t even shaken Ye Xuan in the slightest.

"Your power is nothing."

Ye Xuan seized Zhao Zhijing’s fist, and no matter how Zhao Zhijing struggled, he could not shake Ye Xuan in the slightest.

"Don’t be arrogant! Sky Explosion Star, unleash!"

Zhao Zhijing’s eyes turned gloomy, and he shouted, his entire arm bursting with a terrifying and chaotic aura. The next moment, the immense fist force was about to explode.

"Scram!"

Ye Xuan suddenly stomped his foot and coldly shouted, and then the fist force exploded, producing a deafening roar, and energy swept out like tidal waves.

Whoosh!

A figure was blasted away, crashing embarrassingly out of the training ground.

At the source of the fist force’s explosion, as the smoke cleared, a figure emerged; it was Ye Xuan.

Upon seeing Ye Xuan’s figure, Liu Xin’s pupils suddenly contracted, and his face quickly turned ashen.

Swoosh!

The blasted away Zhao Zhijing had already crawled out and returned to Liu Xin’s side.

"Worthless!"

Liu Xin’s face was cold and fierce. If it weren’t for Zhao Zhijing’s unwavering loyalty to him, he would’ve already killed him.

"This kid is hiding his strength. Probably, no Seven Stars Commander is his match."

Zhao Zhijing looked extremely disheveled and said in a low voice.

This kid, does he have to take action himself?

This humiliation was not something he could afford.

"Liu Xin, we are all from Fengtian City and valued by Emperor Yu alike. You have already tested Ye Xuan’s strength by sending someone. With your status, do you intend to bully a young junior?"

Just as Liu Xin was about to act himself, Yan Shi stepped out, clearly not letting Liu Xin attack Ye Xuan.

Seeing Yan Shi standing in front, Liu Xin frowned; it seemed he couldn’t do anything to Ye Xuan today.

"I hope you survive well on this Divine Demon Battlefield."

His eyes flickered, and after leaving this remark, Liu Xin turned and left the training ground with his subordinates.

"Ye Xuan, you’ve landed in trouble. Liu Xin is not someone who is forgiving. What just happened is enough to make him harbor thoughts of revenge if he gets the chance."

Yan Shi shook his head. Liu Xin was practically a local tyrant, deeply rooted in the Divine Demon Battlefield, very hard to deal with. They had just arrived and already offended this local powerhouse, which was not a good omen.

Even though they were part of Fengtian City, Liu Xin’s relationship with the city was minimal. He obeyed Emperor Yu, but others weren’t of concern to him.

"You’ve seen it yourself; he’s aggressive. If he intentionally wants to stir trouble, enduring will get me nowhere with him."

Ye Xuan’s expression was calm. Dealing with such a person obviously couldn’t be done by mere patience. The more you endured, the more arrogant he’d become. Besides, Ye Xuan wasn’t very tolerant; a Seven Stars Purple Gold Commander wasn’t qualified to dictate to him.

"Brother Ye Xuan is right. That person is so annoying that anyone would find it hard to put up with him."

Nangong Yao shook her head; she also couldn’t stand Liu Xin, who, confident in his strength, acted as if no one else existed.

"Alright, since we’ve already offended someone, there’s no use saying more. We should find a place to settle down first. There should be missions assigned in a few days."

Yan Shi also didn’t want to dwell on this issue. Offending Liu Xin couldn’t be resolved by regret.

The group then left the training ground.

The Xuri Tavern was vast, with numerous residential buildings constructed within a radius of hundreds of miles, and military camps existing even a thousand miles away. In the core of the tavern, there were some particularly luxurious places where only those with adequate status, and capable of spending a lot of Spirit Crystals, could stay.

Ye Xuan and the others naturally had no issues; they each found a luxurious room to reside in.

Staying temporarily at the Xuri Tavern, Ye Xuan continued his cultivation on the undefeated Dragon God combat technique, including the last two layers, which he had not yet mastered.

Three days later.

Ye Xuan received a task from above.

Guarding the Blood Spirit Stone veins.

This was a guarding mission. And it seemed to be no easy task because the Blood Spirit Stone is a precious mineral used to mass-produce high-grade weapons and equipment. Its strategic value is enormous, making it a contested asset.

He and Nangong Yao were both summoned for this mission, suggesting that it wouldn’t be simple.

However, what surprised him was that Yan Shi wasn’t part of this mission.

"Could there be some kind of conspiracy?"

Ye Xuan frowned. Separating him from Yan Shi on a mission might very well mean there’s a conspiracy aimed at him.

"When soldiers come, we’ll strike back, like water meets earth." Let’s see what tricks you have.

Ye Xuan’s eyes slightly narrowed. He had a feeling that this matter was closely related to Xing Liuli, who was in charge of the entire Divine Demon Battlefield. Although she was busy, she would have the time to orchestrate something against a minor character like him.

However, as long as she did not act personally, he wasn’t afraid of other tactics.

After receiving the task, Ye Xuan swiftly left the room, disappearing beyond the door.

On the training ground.

When Ye Xuan and Nangong Yao arrived, the others assigned to the same mission had mostly gathered, numbering around twenty or thirty individuals, among whom a few had particularly strong auras.

The strongest was a beautiful woman in a white robe, appearing to be in her early thirties, though no one knew her true age. However, her aura had evidently reached the level of a Seven Stars Purple Gold Commander, similar to Yan Shi and Liu Xin.

Upon seeing the white-robed woman, Ye Xuan was startled; within just a few days, she was the third Seven Stars Purple Gold Commander he had encountered. Such a rare powerhouse now appeared one after another, which was quite unexpected.
