63: Chapter 63 See you again someday
"Brother Zhou, I must travel to the Inner Sect of the Cangqiong Holy Land tomorrow. We shall meet again!"
"Goodbye, Miss Nan."
The setting sun on the horizon left behind traces of colorful clouds. Ye Xuan's sleeves fluttered without wind, and he cupped his hands to bid farewell.
"Brother Ye, do not forget about coming to Luoyang City in a month." Crown Prince Zhou Yuan gifted a jade pendant to Ye Xuan.
"Sigh, I really don't want Brother Ye to leave." Nan Xu pouted her red lips, her beautiful eyes dimming.
Crown Prince Zhou Yuan rubbed the girl's delicate, pretty face and said dotingly, "Let's go, little Nan Xu, it is time for us to go home too."
"Hmph, silly Brother Zhou Yuan, you aren't nearly as interesting as Brother Ye."
Nan Xu rolled her eyes at Crown Prince Zhou Yuan and then hopped and skipped away in the direction of home.
"Uh..." For a moment, Crown Prince Zhou Yuan stood there, not knowing how to respond to those words.
"Hurry up, silly Brother Zhou Yuan, didn't you say we were going home? Why are you still standing there?" Nan Xu, walking in front, noticed Crown Prince Zhou Yuan hadn't followed. She turned around and whispered discontentedly, "If only Brother Ye Xuan were my fiancé..."
"Nan Xu, wait for me." Unfortunately, Crown Prince Zhou Yuan did not hear his fiancée's inner thoughts.
...
Luoyang City, Cangqiong Holy Land outpost.
Just as Ye Xuan stepped into the room with his left foot, he saw an unfriendly figure standing inside.
"Headmaster Long? May I ask what brings you here?"
Clearly, this Sect Leader Long Baili was likely the result of that damned Zhao Erhu's schemes.
"I heard that you cut out a piece of precious armor?" Sect Leader Long Baili stared fixedly at Ye Xuan.
Hearing this, Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and responded calmly, "Disciple did not cut out precious armor; that is an Imperial-grade battle armor!"
An aura of greed instantly spread through the air, reflected in Sect Leader Long Baili's trembling eyes.
Heavens, it was actually an Imperial-grade battle armor! That was a divine armor two levels higher than a Heaven-grade spirit treasure!
The allure of an Imperial-grade battle armor was far, far greater than that of a Heaven-grade spirit treasure.
"Ye Xuan, your current strength is not enough to protect this battle armor, do you understand? Why not hand it over to me for safekeeping? When your strength reaches the standard one day, I will definitely hand it back to you personally."
Sect Leader Long Baili forcibly suppressed the greed in his heart, his face showing only concern, as if he were a kind elder.
"Did Zhao Erhu tell you about this, Headmaster?" Ye Xuan asked expressionlessly.
"Naturally. I also know that you were able to obtain this battle armor from the source stone I discarded."
Originally intending to use the soft approach, after hearing this, Sect Leader Long Baili no longer hid his intentions, revealing his ugly and smug old face: "Hehe, are you going to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit today?"
A powerful aura instantly enveloped Ye Xuan; this old fellow clearly had the intention of killing him right here.
And indeed, that was the case. As an Outer Sect Headmaster, who could stop him from killing a brat who hadn't even entered the Inner Sect?
"Hehe, it seems Headmaster Long has also seized Yun Zhe's precious treasure."
"You wretched brat, what do you understand? Is such divine armor something that juniors like you can possess? I am merely keeping it for you temporarily; it's not like I'm not going to return it to you!"
Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head, glancing at Sect Leader Long Baili with pity, "If you want to kill me, I'm afraid you can't do it today."
With a movement of his divine sense, the puppet of tianxuan realm hidden in his spirit ring instantly protected Ye Xuan, blocking all of Sect Leader Long Baili's aura.
"Sect Leader Long Baili, as an Outer Sect Headmaster of the Cangqiong Holy Land, to act so recklessly and seize divine armor from your disciples—you really are an old, undead thief!" Ye Xuan's voice was filled with cold killing intent, and he took the opportunity to lock onto Sect Leader Long Baili with the puppet of tianxuan realm.
"You... you..."
Feeling the restrictions around him, Sect Leader Long Baili's old face suddenly showed terror. He had not expected Ye Xuan to possess such a supreme treasure for protection, and his back was instantly soaked with sweat.
"Hehe, consider yourself lucky. You are an Outer Sect Headmaster, so I will not kill you today!" Ye Xuan's voice reached Sect Leader Long Baili's ears. The next second, the Headmaster was sent out of the door, landing on his backside in terror.
"Where is my spirit ring? It was him!" Sect Leader Long Baili touched the finger where his spirit ring should have been, and his old face immediately turned gloomy. The spirit ring was gone; Ye Xuan must have taken it.
Then, he frantically felt his upper body, finally letting out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Ice Cloud Battle Armor he had obtained from that brat Yun Zhe had not been taken.
"Knock, knock, knock—" After a while, Ye Xuan's door was knocked upon.
"What are you back for?"
Ye Xuan frowned, looking at Sect Leader Long Baili with some disgust.
"Um, you took my flying boat. How are we supposed to travel tomorrow? This is Heaven Spirit Marrow; I just got it from Zhao Erhu. Look, can you return the flying boat to me?" Sect Leader Long Baili rubbed his hands flatteringly, beginning to regard Ye Xuan as a mysterious young master from a great family in his heart.
"Get lost." Ye Xuan didn't think much of this spatial spirit treasure and casually tossed the small white boat out.
In a room on the other side.
"Damned old fellow, why did you rob me? How could I be as wealthy as Ye Xuan and Yun Zhe?"
Zhao Erhu, his face covered in bloody scratches, sat on the ground crying bitterly. Holding his empty spirit ring, he began to hate Ye Xuan and Yun Zhe with all his might.
That's right; in his anger just now, Sect Leader Long Baili had rushed directly to Zhao Erhu's courtyard, beaten him viciously, and snatched away all his belongings.
However, our Yun Zhe didn't fare much better, as his battle armor had also been demanded and taken by Sect Leader Long Baili.
"Moli, why didn't you step in and suppress him just now?" A trace of humiliation flashed across Yun Zhe's delicate face.
"If I killed him, what would you do? Are you not going to practice at the Cangqiong Holy Land?"
Moli said expressionlessly, "Do you feel humiliated? Cultivate well in the future. You will be able to easily crush ants like this. If you cannot even resolve such a small setback and need me to solve everything for you, how will you ever reach the pinnacle of the Great Dao?"
"Damned old thing, once I enter the Cangqiong Holy Land, I will make you shed a layer of skin even if it doesn't kill you!" Yun Zhe thought secretly, then resolutely transmitted his voice into the spirit ring, "Moli, I want to practice that!"
Moli was somewhat surprised, "Oh? I have been urging you for a long time, but you were unwilling. Why are you willing now?"
"I want to quickly become stronger. Only then can I wash away this humiliation with my own hands!" Yun Zhe clenched his fists and stood up from the bed, "That old thing made me hand over the Ice Cloud Divine Armor just now, and I had no choice but to surrender it. It is all because my strength is too weak. If I had powerful strength, how could I be bullied by such a person?"
"Since that is the case, I will teach you the Heavenly Wolf Prison Divine Scripture..."
There was a trace of nostalgia in Moli's voice, but in the end, she said these words.
Her thoughts could not help but return to the past.
"The 'Heavenly Wolf Prison Divine Scripture' has seven levels.
First level—Heavenly Wolf Slash.
Second level—Savage Fang.
Third level—Heavenly Star Grief.
Fourth level—Instant Prison Tribulation.
Fifth level—Azure Wolf Claw.
Sixth level—Blood Moon zhu xian sword.
Seventh level—Heavenly Wound Heartless Sword."
