Chapter 873: Chapter 867: Yue Rushuang
Some powerful beings, who had never appeared before, have emerged during this magic tide.
Once Ye Xuan and his companion showed up, they attracted quite a bit of attention. Most of it was directed at Nangong Yao, the adopted daughter of Emperor Yu and princess of Fengtian City, well-known to all. In contrast, Ye Xuan could rightly be described as an unknown figure.
Many people attempted to engage Nangong Yao in conversation, which didn’t surprise Ye Xuan at all. Considering Nangong Yao’s charm and status, such occurrences were hardly unexpected.
“Alright, the stakes of this mission are high. You’re not here to frolic and have fun. Since everyone is here, let’s set off!”
The white-robed woman’s expression was icy. She merely glanced around the crowd, instantly causing a chill to creep through many backs, piercing through bones and making them shiver involuntarily.
No one dared to utter a word of defiance, and soon everyone was lined up neatly.
A flash of light emanated from a ring on a finger, and a puppet spaceship appeared mid-air. Following the lead of the white-robed woman, everyone swiftly leaped aboard.
As she boarded the ship, the white-robed woman cast a glance in Ye Xuan’s direction before disappearing.
“Who’s this woman, Yaoer, do you know?”
Ye Xuan sensed that this white-robed woman was extraordinary, not just in her unfathomable strength. From the start, he felt there was something more to this mission; her identity naturally warranted investigation.
“This woman has quite a background.”
Nangong Yao’s face showed a contemplative expression. “Under the Empress Xing Liuli command, there are the Left and Right Saint Envoys: Left Saint Envoy Flower God and Right Saint Envoy Moon God. This one must be the Moon God, Yue Rushuang.”
“Indeed, she’s connected to Xing Liuli.”
Ye Xuan knew that Xing Liuli wouldn’t let it go easily. His conflict with the Divine Palace was deep-rooted and unlikely to be resolved simply. Emperor Yu might not know the details, naturally believing Xing Liuli would show face. Sending such a Right Saint Envoy along on this mission must be targeted at him.
“I told you it wouldn’t be simple. Should we discuss a strategy with Yan Shi, the commander?” Nangong Yao also grasped the gravity of the situation and quickly suggested.
“No point in discussing; this is the Divine Demon Battlefield. We must follow through on the task assigned, or it’s considered insubordination. Xing Liuli could easily pin blame on me if she desires.” Ye Xuan shook his head. Since he came here, he was mentally prepared to face Xing Liuli’s clever traps.
“Let’s see how things unfold. Regardless of her prowess, the Moon God is merely a Martial Saint, not yet at the Sealing Emperor level. As long as she hasn’t reached that level, I can handle her.”
Ye Xuan’s expression remained unchanged. Currently, few in the Eastern Realm are worth his wariness. His strength now ranks him among the top in the entire realm.
He has no fear of any Flower God or Moon God.
Ye Xuan waved his hand and headed towards the spaceship.
Nangong Yao didn’t hesitate long and followed him. She trusted that Ye Xuan wasn’t blindly confident, as he was never one to boast without substance.
She felt secure only by staying at Ye Xuan’s side.
The Blood Spirit Stone mines are located southwest on the Divine Demon Battlefield, fifty thousand miles from Xuri Tavern. The puppet spaceship was swift, nearly capable of covering ten thousand miles a day.
In the Ancient World, the gravity is extraordinary, and the space extremely stable, severely limiting speed and mobility. Space teleportation or traversal that’s easy on the Spirit Martial Continent can only be achieved in the Ancient World by Sealing Emperor Strong People.
Throughout the journey, many engaged Nangong Yao in conversation. Clearly, chatting with a beautiful woman provides comfort during a tedious journey. Ye Xuan observed coldly but intervened when anyone tried to cross boundaries, sending them flying away.
Some grew extremely frustrated with Ye Xuan’s actions but had no choice except to endure. Anyone who tried to provoke Ye Xuan met the same fate, and eventually, they behaved themselves.
Three days passed quickly while resting with eyes closed.
A majestic mountain range came into view, stretching for thousands of miles. From its depths, a thick bloody aura surged into the sky, forming a layer of ominous Blood Cloud.
Apart from the bloody aura, various levels of the mountains emitted billowing smoke with crisp metallic clashes echoing.
The puppet spaceship landed on a flat area among the mountains.
Before fully arriving, Ye Xuan noticed glaring blood shadows — people uniformly clad in blood-red armor, exuding violent energy.
This was the Blood Soul Army, a well-renowned force stationed at the Blood Spirit Stone veins.
Leading them was a stern-faced man carrying a blood-red longbow, bearing two sword scars on his face, enhancing his rugged appearance.
This man, without a doubt, is the leader of the Blood Soul Army.
“Blood Arrow Saint Monarch, thanks for guarding the mines for so long.”
The Moon God’s face managed a rare smile.
“It’s part of my duty, so there’s no need to thank me.”
Blood Arrow Saint Monarch slightly bowed and flashed a gaze of admiration toward the powerful and beautiful Moon God, whom he had long admired.
His gaze didn’t linger on Yue Rushuang for long before resting on Ye Xuan.
“Is it you, kid? How dare you still roam around here?”
Blood Arrow Saint Monarch’s eyes suddenly erupted with killing intent, bewildering even Ye Xuan.
“It’s rumored Blood Arrow Saint Monarch is close with Xing Wuji.” Nangong Yao whispered near his ear.
Ye Xuan showed a hint of realization, understanding now there were more of Xing Liuli’s pawns in the mine.
“Xing Wuji sought his doom; I merely helped him along the way.”
A smirk formed at Ye Xuan’s mouth, knowing there’s no need for politeness anymore.
“You brat, how dare you speak like that? Watch me crush you!”
Blood Arrow Saint Monarch flew into a rage. He lifted his blood-red bow and shot a bolt exploding in lightning — a lightning bolt**** that split into four hits targeting Ye Xuan from all directions.
Ye Xuan’s Emperor’s Eye opened, vision penetrating the void. He remained still as he caught the bolt from above with two fingers.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
To everyone’s amazement, Ye Xuan, with just two fingers, effortlessly snatched Blood Arrow Saint Monarch’s ferocious bolt, causing the other three nearing bolts to self-destruct sequentially.
