133: Back to Linhai Village
Bai Shanhe was extremely excited at this moment. Not long ago, he heard that Ye Xiao had appeared in Juyan City for the first time.
He was worried that the Zhao Family wouldn't take Ye Xiao seriously enough, so he recklessly used a dimension dissociation stone to descend directly into the Novice Area.
In his opinion, if that cunning Ye Xiao ran away, with his battle power as an Eight-Turn Professional, he would still be able to assassinate him.
He just didn't expect that before he even reached Juyan City, he encountered Ye Xiao, who was fleeing, on the way.
This was simply a gift from heaven.
At the same time, he secretly cursed the people of the Zhao Family for being too useless; they couldn't even stop a newcomer. With such abilities, how dare they call themselves one of the Eight Great Families of Blue Star?
And upon seeing Ye Xiao, the killing intent in Bai Shanhe's heart surged uncontrollably.
It was not easy for his Bai Family to have an SSS-grade talent like that, only for him to die at Ye Xiao's hands. How could Bai Shanhe be reconciled?
Therefore, Bai Shanhe didn't hold back at the first moment, increasing his speed to the maximum, determined to shatter Ye Xiao with one blow, giving the opponent no chance to breathe.
He didn't care about the cost of that dimension dissociation stone; he only knew that if he couldn't kill Ye Xiao, the anger in his heart would be hard to extinguish.
Ye Xiao must die today.
However, just as he was about to unleash all his pent-up fury on Ye Xiao,
a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared in the surrounding space.
Then, Bai Shanhe crashed directly into a transparent barrier.
The huge, dull sound made Bai Shanhe let out a painful groan, caught off guard.
"What is this?"
Bai Shanhe's expression changed drastically. With his battle power as an Eight-Turn Professional, he couldn't even detect such a strange situation here.
At this moment, Ye Xiao's figure appeared ten meters in front of Bai Shanhe.
However, he didn't answer Bai Shanhe's question. Instead, he looked at Bai Shanhe, who was trapped in the Heaven Sealing Demon Banning array he had just cast, and smiled with great satisfaction.
He hadn't expected that he had just learned this array, and it would come in handy so quickly.
He didn't know whether to say he was lucky or if Bai Shanhe was unlucky.
Without the help of the Heaven Sealing Demon Banning array, Ye Xiao might have been in some trouble.
Bai Shanhe, as an Eight-Turn Professional, definitely couldn't be fought. Although his attributes were not bad, high-level Professionals possessed professional mechanisms that low-level Professionals did not.
He would only be at a disadvantage in a fight. More importantly, those people from the Zhao Family would definitely be searching for him like crazy at this moment.
Ye Xiao had no time to waste with Bai Shanhe.
"Patriarch Bai, I won't play with you today. Another day, I will personally come to your door. Wash your ass and wait, haha!"
After speaking, Ye Xiao ignored the furious Bai Shanhe and, with Divinity Speed's acceleration, quickly ran towards the distance.
Seeing this, Bai Shanhe became enraged. However, no matter how he tried, he couldn't break through the Restriction Barrier in front of him. He could only watch helplessly as Ye Xiao's figure disappeared from his sight, letting out an unwilling roar.
"Ye Xiao!!!"
Ye Xiao naturally couldn't hear this roar. At this moment, he was maintaining high-speed movement while checking his skills.
Dealing with Bai Shanhe just now was his first time using the mutated Restriction Barrier.
The effect was surprisingly good.
At the same time, he also found that after casting the second function of the Restriction Barrier, Heaven Sealing Demon Banning, he could still cast its first function, which was the original damage-immune barrier.
This discovery greatly surprised Ye Xiao.
In this way, the Restriction Barrier · Sealing Demons was equivalent to two skills, and they did not share cooldowns.
As expected of Hong Yue's ability, it was truly overbearing.
Satisfied, he withdrew his thoughts. The rest of Ye Xiao's journey was also relatively uneventful.
By the time he galloped back to Linhai Village, Zhao Changlin and the others, as well as Bai Shanhe, who had escaped from the Heaven Sealing Demon Banning array, had long lost track of Ye Xiao.
And this matter was quickly spread.
"Really? Is it true? That Night Shadow actually escaped from the thirteen Eight-Turn powerhouses of the Zhao Family? Since when did Eight-Turn powerhouses become so watered down?"
"Shh! Are you stupid? It's not that Eight-Turn Professionals are watered down; it's that Night Shadow is too abnormal. I heard that even a very rare array scroll was used in the Zhao Family, but they still couldn't keep Night Shadow."
"More than that, Night Shadow not only escaped but also, in front of the Zhao Family's powerhouses, slaughtered all of Juyan City's Dragon Abyss Legion and everyone else in the city. I've been there; there were at least two or three thousand people."
"Hiss! Is this Night Shadow so ferocious? He actually killed so many people?"
"Tch! What's the big deal? The Zhao Family was trying to kill him, so how could he be soft-hearted?"
"That's true. Now the Zhao Family has been played with by a newcomer like this, they've really lost face."
"Losing face is one thing, but the thirteen Eight-Turn powerhouses descending into the Novice Area alone cost almost 700 million eternal coins. I heard that the Zhao Family Patriarch was extremely furious about this and started offering rewards for any information about Night Shadow."
"Unfortunately, although it's the Novice Area, Night Shadow comes and goes without a trace; no one knows where he is."
"Needless to say, at this time, how dare Night Shadow show his face? Is he looking for death? He must be hiding."
... The Zhao Family saw the various discussions in the chat channel, and their faces turned ashen, having completely lost face.
The result of this was that the Zhao Family frantically sent out all the manpower they had.
Ye Xiao, as the instigator, was also aware of all this.
However, he didn't care much.
After continuous running and trekking, he finally returned to Linhai Village.
At this time, Linhai Village was still as quiet as before, almost eerily so.
Along the way, he did notice that the number of Ocean Magic Frogs had increased significantly.
However, Ye Xiao didn't attack them, worried about alarming Wang the Blacksmith.
Ye Xiao glanced briefly and then, with practiced ease, arrived at the entrance of the underground passage.
It was still that familiar large door.
Previously, no matter how Ye Xiao tried, he couldn't break open this door.
It wasn't until he met Little Gold that he suddenly realized.
This door looked ordinary, but it had rules imbued within it and couldn't be opened by brute force.
But now, with Little Gold's array-breaking ability, everything became quite simple.
Little Gold didn't even need to appear; Ye Xiao just gently placed his hand on the door.
Then, this door, which was originally impenetrable, was easily pushed open.
Ye Xiao, seeing this scene, couldn't help but secretly sigh with emotion.
The Golden Dragon's array-breaking ability was indeed abnormal.
Fortunately, he now possessed this ability as well.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared at the corner of Ye Xiao's mouth, and then he leaped down.
Just then, Wang the Blacksmith, who was sitting deep within the altar, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Someone actually broke the array and broke in? How is this possible?! Who is it??"
