Elder Yang helplessly looked at Xiao Ye.
The Heavenly Treasure Record, Xiao Ye has obviously comprehended it fully; from now on, he only needs to operate it on his own to enhance his proficiency, which Elder Yang could no longer teach.
Originally, he thought that three days were far too short for Xiao Ye to achieve much with the Heavenly Treasure Record, so he hesitated whether to extend the time and give Xiao Ye longer. After all, the Spirit King Pool was his domain, and even the Holy Palace Master wouldn’t interfere.
Only now did he realize that three days were not too short, but perhaps even a bit too long!
"Yes, Elder Yang, this disciple will take his leave now." After Xiao Ye finished speaking, he bowed with cupped fists toward Elder Yang, smiled, and turned to leave the stone hut’s space.
"With so many King Crystals and the Heavenly Treasure Record in possession, plus this lad’s terrifying natural talent and comprehension, he shouldn’t face much danger during his outdoors cultivation. I hope he can grow quickly," Elder Yang thought secretly as he watched Xiao Ye leave.
Soon, Xiao Ye left the area where the Spirit King Pool was located.
At the same time, a refined young man emerged from the shadows. He looked at Xiao Ye’s departing figure with an ever-changing expression.
He was Fan Li, sent by Wu Pojun to monitor Xiao Ye.
"Xiao Ye actually came here to Elder Yang and even spent three days alone with him!" Fan Li’s eyes flickered with a cold gleam.
Elder Yang’s appeal to the disciples of Earth Hall had been much talked about recently.
Therefore, during the time Xiao Ye spent alone with Elder Yang, he might have already received the Elder’s inheritance.
Fan Li’s fists slowly clenched, his knuckles turning white, his heart filled with flames of jealousy.
"Why did this kid from East State steal the spotlight during the Earth Hall’s assessments and even gain the attention of the ten Law Enforcement Elders, now even having Elder Yang seeing him differently!"
"Why couldn’t it be me!"
Fan Li roared inwardly, feeling extremely unwilling.
"But this time, Xiao Ye, even if your luck has been good, you won’t be able to survive!" Thinking that Lin Feng was preparing to deal with Xiao Ye, and even if he failed, Jun Shitian would come back and take matters into his own hands at the two-hundred-year birthday celebration of the Holy Palace Master, he felt a burst of relief.
It was only after a long time since Xiao Ye had left that Fan Li concealed his figure for fear that Elder Yang might discover him, then he quietly left.
Fan Li followed after Xiao Ye, returning to the space where Earth Hall was located, then he went to the dwelling of Wu Pojun.
At that moment, Wu Pojun was sitting cross-legged on a cushion cultivating, his body exuding a formidable King Martial aura, astonishingly alluring the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi which was swallowed by the King Realm behind him.
"Why did you only come back now after tracking Xiao Ye?" Wu Pojun saw Fan Li, stopped his cultivation, and said impatiently.
Trembling a bit, Fan Li still managed a smile and awkwardly said, "Because this junior brother didn’t dare to be negligent regarding the task Senior Brother Wu entrusted to him, so he kept a close eye on every move Xiao Ye made until he left; only then did I immediately return to report to Senior Brother Wu."
"Stop the nonsense, just tell me Xiao Ye’s whereabouts," Wu Pojun’s expression eased slightly, yet he still spoke coldly.
"Yes," Fan Li nodded and then reported all of Xiao Ye’s movements over the past two days.
Upon hearing this, Wu Pojun’s face changed dramatically, he leaped up, and his body erupted with extremely strong King Martial fluctuations, causing the walls to tremble.
"Are you saying that Xiao Ye and Elder Yang stayed alone together for three whole days?" Wu Pojun’s eyes gleamed intensely as he stared at Fan Li and asked.
"Yes, Senior Brother Wu, I suspect that this young Xiao Ye might have already received Elder Yang’s inheritance. Why don’t we go now, force the inheritance out of Elder Yang, so Senior Brother Wu’s position in the Earth Hall can be rapidly elevated!" Fan Li saw Wu Pojun’s reaction, felt delighted in his heart, and quickly suggested.
He wished to use Wu Pojun to deal with Xiao Ye, hoping Xiao Ye would run into misfortune immediately.
However, upon hearing these words, Wu Pojun looked at Fan Li with a cold smile, causing Fan Li to feel uneasy.
With Wu Pojun’s wisdom, he could naturally guess what Fan Li was thinking, but he was too lazy to care.
"Hmph, it’s better than perfect if Xiao Ye has received Elder Yang’s inheritance; it saves me the trouble of facing rejection from Elder Yang myself. But to make a move, it won’t be now," Wu Pojun said coldly, causing Fan Li to be slightly startled.
"Although the ten Law Enforcement Elders are currently with the Holy Palace Master, if we pressure Xiao Ye too hard, once the Law Enforcement Elders return, they will definitely punish us, making it a loss not worth the gain."
"The best method is to wait until Xiao Ye joins us on an outside experience excursion to make a move."
"At that time, with the emperor far away, no matter how capable this kid is, he will not be able to escape from the palm of my hand, and as for Elder Yang’s inheritance, it would easily fall into my lap," Wu Pojun said with a cold laugh, his eyes burning fiercely.
He seemed to have already seen himself rising rapidly in the Earth Hall after obtaining Elder Yang’s inheritance from Xiao Ye.
Despite feeling it was a pity, Fan Li respectfully said on the surface: "Senior Brother Wu indeed has a way, I was short-sighted."
"Hmph, go, continue monitoring Xiao Ye. From now until the outside experience excursion, relay everything about Xiao Ye to me," Wu Pojun commanded.
"Yes." Fan Li saluted Wu Pojun before turning around and leaving.
Fan Li began to stake out near Xiao Ye’s detached courtyard, cultivating himself while keeping an eye on Xiao Ye’s movements.
Time flies like an arrow, in an instant.
During this period, Xiao Ye did not leave his detached courtyard; Fan Li only occasionally saw purple light bursting skyward from Xiao Ye’s yard.
Meanwhile, the King Martial aura released by Xiao Ye was also increasing continuously.
"What the hell is going on? How can this kid’s cultivation improve so fast!" Again sensing the rise in Xiao Ye’s King Martial aura, a shock went through Fan Li’s heart, completely astounded.
Xiao Ye’s speed of cultivation was simply too exaggerated.
It probably wouldn’t be long before Xiao Ye caught up with his one advantage in cultivation.
Twelve days later, the day had arrived for Xiao Ye, Wu Pojun, and the others’ agreed departure for an outdoor training experience in place of Lin Feng to find a gift for the Holy Palace Master.
On this day, at sunrise, releasing the Ten Thousand Feet Golden Light, Wu Pojun, carrying a heavy long saber, led over a dozen Earth Hall disciples, flying through the air. Each person appeared spirited and exceptionally radiant, with strong cultivations.
"Junior Brother Xiao Ye, come out quickly and set off with us!" Wu Pojun stared at Xiao Ye’s detached courtyard and coldly spoke, his voice spreading like a thunderclap.
