Chapter 378: Again Encountering The Bai Family
Although no one was able to notice what just happened, the tiny fluctuation of soul force was unable to hide from the powerful perceptive senses of the Blue Skirt Lady.
She looked at Ye Xiao in surprise as she never thought Ye Xiao to be able to use a Soul type of martial arts skill to attack the soul of Laohu Qiong.
Yes, what Ye Xiao used to kill Laohu Qiong was not his spear but his Soul Ability: Soul Destruction.
The Blue Skirt Lady was surprised not because Ye Xiao was able to use a Soul-type martial arts skill but because a Soul-type martial arts skill can only be used by people who have awakened the Divine Sense by evolving their Sea of Consciousness into Divine Sea.
Ye Xiao was able to use his Soul Force to kill Laohu Qiong, it could only mean that Ye Xiao was a person with Divine Sea.
"He is the one... Maybe, he can do that..." The Blue Skirt Lady muttered in a very low voice while looking at Ye Xiao with a gaze as of a child who is looking at her favourite Candy.
"Mr. Ye, I..."
Before the Blue Skirt Lady could speak anything, Ye Xiao waved his hand and disappeared from the hall, leaving behind the Blue Skirt Lady who clutched her hand tightly before loosening it.
She took a deep breath before letting out a breath of air. Then she turned at Mu Cheng and said, "Your Mu family"s mission is now complete. After going out from the ruin, you can go to the Imperial City to receive your rewards."
"But... Miss, you still have not searched for a person with a..."
"I have found someone who has Divine Sea. Don"t worry, I just have to convince him and take him back to the Imperial Palace, that"s all!" The Blue Skirt Lady said.
"If you say so, Princess!" The people of the Mu Family bowed their heads and said.
.....
Ye Xiao walked through the pa.s.sage and saw some stone rooms along the way. However, these stone rooms were a little over 100 and had been deserted for a long time. It was obvious that there would not be any good things inside. Of course, there were also a few stone rooms that seemed to be in good condition. There was a weak fluctuation coming from them, so Ye Xiao definitely would not let it go.
Ye Xiao was like a locust swarm. He collected all of the medicinal pills and herbs as well as some of the martial arts skills and cultivation techniques from the stone rooms and kept them in the Spatial Ring.
After that, Ye Xiao rushed out. His speed was extremely fast. After travelling at full speed for approximately ten minutes, the seemingly endless tunnel finally became s.p.a.cious. Rumbling and loud noises were also emitted.
Ye Xiao slows down before he slowly walked out of the tunnel. Outside the tunnel was an extremely vast area. At the front, one could already see a little bit of light shining in.
After coming out of the tunnel, what he saw was an enormous plaza that was three thousand meters large. In the center of the plaza, there was an enormous palace that was dozens of meters tall. The floors were all made of beautiful green jade and were extremely luxurious.
Around the main hall, there were ten carved stone statues of Demonic Beasts. They all had ferocious looks on their faces and even though they were stone statues, one could still feel a tyrannical aura emanating from them.
"A tyc.o.o.n. This owner of the ruin, when alive, was definitely someone who knows how to enjoy life." Ye Xiao could not help but mutter in his heart.
After scanning around, Ye Xiao found that there were already four to five teams with dozens of people in front of the hall. However, these people were more or less injured. It was obvious that it was not easy to enter this place through the pa.s.sage.
When those teams saw that one more person had suddenly appeared, they could not help but be taken aback.
"Early Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm!"
Everyone was a little confused. Ye Xiao didn"t hide his strength so everyone present was able to see through his cultivation base easily. For a martial artist of the Early Immortal Lord Realm to walk all alone to this place, they wonder just how lucky Ye Xiao was.
But what was the use of coming here alone? Out of the dozen or so squads, almost every squad had martial artists of Late Stage Immortal Lord Realm. A Martial Artist of the Early Stage of Immortal Lord Realm simply could not create any storm in front of these people. Therefore, these people only glanced at Ye Xiao before shifting their gazes away.
Ye Xiao"s gaze only swept across these people before looking towards the huge palace. His Divine Sense spread out and headed towards the palace.
"Restriction!" Ye Xiao muttered in a very low voice.
"Thud."
A heavy bell sound rang in Ye Xiao"s head as he was forced to retreat one step back. Although Ye Xiao suffered no damage to his Divine Sense because of his unbelievably strong soul, he was still surprised.
"Ignorant brat." In those dozen or so teams, a few of them saw Ye Xiao suffer a loss and laughed mockingly.
Ye Xiao did not care about these sounds. His gaze was fixed at the great hall in front of him. The restrictions around the hall were extremely strong. It was obviously not easy for anyone to break it, of course, he was an exception but still, he also had no intention to break the restriction for other people.
Anyway, it could be seen that there was definitely a treasure inside the hall. Otherwise, how could such a powerful restriction be placed on it?
Because of the restrictions, everyone stood still on the spot. At the same time, they moved a distance away in case someone tried to sneak attack them.
And as time pa.s.sed, more people arrived. The first to arrive was of course the Mu Family. Their journey was un.o.bstructed, plus Ye Xiao had already swept the pa.s.sage earlier. They didn"t waste any time, so after a quarter-hour since Ye Xiao arrived, they already felt it.
After that, a few more teams rushed over. Among them, there was naturally Bai Family that hated Ye Xiao to the core.
"Little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I didn"t expect you to be here too."
Everyone"s body exploded with strong killing intent. When they entered the ruin, Bai Ming had sent a sound transmission to them, telling them if they ever meet Ye Xiao in the ruin, they would use any means at their disposal to kill him.
The moment they saw Ye Xiao, the people of the Bai Family leapt out and attacked him.
"Heh, this kid is really unlucky to actually offend a martial artist with Late Stage Immortal Lord Realm cultivation base."
"You don"t know about this? I heard that recently, the Bai Family was turned upside down by a brat called Ye Xiao, and he killed quite a few genius disciples of the Bai Family along with dozens of guards. And this guy had the City Lord"s Mansion as a backer, making the life of the Bai Family extremely difficult. Look at Bai Dong, who seems like he wants to eat someone. This brat should be that Ye Xiao."
"I have also heard about it. This matter has already spread in several nearby cities and the prestige of the Bai Family has received a huge blow. Now that their enemies have met, of course, they would be especially angry. "
Whispers came from the surroundings which made Bai Dong"s expression darken and his killing intent increased.
"Swish."
At the same time, the sound of something tearing through the air rang out. Mu Cheng"s figure flashed and blocked in front of Ye Xiao. He extended his palm and exchanged blows with Bai Dong. The two of them both backed off.
However, in this short clash, it was obvious that Mu Cheng was at a disadvantage.
"Mu Cheng, could it be that your Mu Family wants to interfere in my personal matter?" Bai Dong stared at Mu Cheng and shouted coldly.
"Ye Xiao helped us before. Since I am here, we can not let you touch him." Mu Cheng said with an indifferent expression.
"Humph, do you really want to go against our Bai Family?" A hint of anger flashed across Bai Dong"s face as he said coldly. He never expected Mu Cheng to publicly stand against him.
"Although Bai Family is very strong, it is still far from the stage where it can cover the sky with one hand. Also, do not think that you can act without restraint just because you have Snow Cold Palace as your backer. This world is very big and there are many powers that can destroy Snow Cold Palace with a flick of a finger." At this moment, the Blue Skirt Lady walked over with graceful steps as she spoke with a calm expression.
