CHAPTER 902: CHAPTER 896: ENMITY FORGED

"Trying to escape?"

Ye Xuan moved swiftly, crossing several miles of void. With a grasp of his hand, he suddenly enveloped the Saint Abyss within it.

At this moment, Ye Xuan’s strength surged to its peak.

The Saint Abyss had no power to resist at all.

"Kid, are you trying to become a complete enemy of the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace?"

The Saint Abyss urgently shouted with a terrified expression.

"Is there still room for negotiation now?"

Ye Xuan’s lips curled into a mocking smile. To say such words at this point was sheer stupidity.

"Don’t be hasty! That woman was hit by our Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace’s Treasure Demon Heart Corrosive Powder. With this poison, the aura of treasures on her will gradually dissipate until becoming a useless scrap treasure devoid of spirit. If you dare to kill me, even if the Mirror Girl were the embodiment of the Heaven Emperor Mirror, she’d be doomed!"

The Saint Abyss sensed the looming threat of death and screamed fiercely.

"Is that so?"

Ye Xuan frowned slightly and extended a finger. A thread of Sword Qi slowly lengthened out, then gently tapped the shoulder of the Saint Abyss. At the point of contact, an immediate hissing sound erupted, like a small worm burrowing into the other’s body. Saint Abyss’s face twisted in agony as a result.

"Give me the antidote."

Looking at the distorted face of the Saint Abyss, Ye Xuan withdrew his finger, speaking indifferently. Yet the Saint Abyss looked at him with venomous eyes, completely ignoring his question.

Ye Xuan’s face showed indifference as he remained silent, his finger tapping down again!

Hiss!

As the blood mist rose, Saint Abyss’s entire body trembled violently, his face contorted hideously with the excruciating pain.

Retracting his finger slowly, Ye Xuan spoke calmly, "Still won’t talk?"

Saint Abyss’s breathing became rough; after a moment, he finally gritted his teeth, rasping, "This Treasure Demon Heart Corrosive Powder is unique to the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace and can only be cultivated at the Sealing Emperor Level. Once the toxin invades, it stealthily hides."

"How to remove it?"

Ye Xuan’s gaze turned slightly cold.

"There is no way to remove it, unless you find the Palace Master of my Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace, the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Emperor, to handle it. But I suppose you’re not capable of that." Saint Abyss grinned darkly.

"Release me now and treat me courteously. We can go to the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace together, and perhaps I might consider speaking in your favor before the Palace Master."

It appears this Mirror Girl is the boy’s weakness, thought the Saint Abyss internally. With this hold over him, what was there to fear? Without compliance, the boy could only watch her die.

Then and there, Ye Xuan suddenly loosened his grip on the Saint Abyss. Sensing the change, the Saint Abyss grinned, feeling somewhat emboldened.

Click!

Yet just as a smile broke across his face, he suddenly saw a flash of light. It was the last light he saw before his life ended.

A head flew off, and the headless body lost its vitality, falling entirely.

"Did you just kill him like that? What about the antidote?"

Nangong Yao looked at Ye Xuan, puzzled.

"That Treasure Demon Heart Corrosive Powder, who said only the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Emperor can cure it."

A gleam appeared in Ye Xuan’s eyes, for detoxification and alchemy had always been his strong point.

He quickly walked toward Ling Qianxue, feeling somewhat pained looking at her pale cheeks, and whispered softly, "Let’s leave here first. I’ll figure out how to deal with that so-called Treasure Demon Heart Corrosive Powder."

Ling Qianxue gently nodded, her beautiful eyes gazing at the young man before her. In just under a year, the latter had grown to such a level through his own abilities.

Ye Xuan stretched out his arm, wrapping it around Ling Qianxue’s slender waist, and beckoned Nangong Yao to follow. His figure moved sharply, swiftly heading deeper into Lifeless Valley.

As Ye Xuan and the others departed, the surroundings of the valley quickly fell into silence, with only the corpses and blood marking the fierce battle earlier.

By the side of the valley, the sticky blood covered the surrounding rocks, and the pungent smell of blood spread continuously. Cold corpses lay scattered around the rocks.

Everything here seemed utterly silent, except for the lingering scent of blood that would not dissipate, indicating the fierce battle that had taken place before.

This silence endured for a long time, only broken suddenly by the sound of breaking wind from the horizon. Moments later, numerous figures clad in uniform attire flew over from afar, and upon seeing the corpses on the ground, their expressions drastically changed.

An elderly figure slowly landed on a boulder. It was the same elder who guarded the entrance to Lifeless Valley.

This elder from the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace landed, looking shocked at the corpses sprawled across the ground. He swiftly moved and appeared behind a huge stone, his eyes incredulously fixed on the two elderly bodies, inhaling cool air after a long pause.

"Hall Master Feng Yin."

A disciple of the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace with a similarly pale face landed beside the elder, swallowed hard, and said in a low voice, "All the corpses of the elite sent to Lifeless Valley to search for the Mirror Girl are here, including, including Hall Masters Saint Abyss and Bing Wantian."

Called Feng Yin, the elder heard this, his eyes closed slightly. When he reopened them, they were filled with malice: "Bring all the bodies back, I must return to the heavenly palace immediately!"

With that said, Feng Yin turned and departed, his face extremely sinister.

That disciple from the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace nodded silently, glanced at the two elderly bodies before him, and felt a chill. These were two Seventh Grade Extreme Martial Saint strong people. Who could possess such frightening power to annihilate them completely?

Though he didn’t know the exact identity of the perpetrator, he knew that from now on, the Western World might not be peaceful anymore. Given the power of the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace, they would definitely not sit idly by as two hall masters of the Extreme Martial Saint level were killed without taking action!

No matter who it is, they will surely pay for this.

While these disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace were clearing up the aftermath, deep within Lifeless Valley, within a hidden cave, Ye Xuan gently laid down Ling Qianxue. He retrieved some illuminating gemstones from the Qiankun Ring and cast them onto the cave walls. Soft light spilled out, banishing the darkness in the cave.

Nangong Yao stood beside Ling Qianxue. Noticing her pale complexion, she quickly took out some soft furs from her Na ring, laying them on the ground. She softly said, "Sister Ling, please rest for a while."

Ling Qianxue smiled slightly and nodded at her, sitting down on the soft furs, gazing at Nangong Yao with her beautiful eyes, and said, "You must be Yaoer. I often hear Ye Xuan mention you."

"Really," Nangong Yao glanced at Ye Xuan and then shook her head, "I often hear him mention you too. This time, when he heard you were in trouble, Brother Ye Xuan came rushing over like a madman."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Ye Xuan helplessly spread his hands. Though it was a bit exaggerated, he couldn’t deny that Ling Qianxue’s assassination indeed angered him this time.
