Chapter 529: Falling Into The Trap
About fifteen minutes later, Ye Xiao was standing outside a luxurious house. A handsome man dressed in gorgeous clothes, who was playing with three beads in his hands, slowly walked out from inside as he kept playing with the beads in his hand. Then, a few people hurriedly took out a luxurious chair for him to sit on.
This man was one of the Vice City Lords of the Sacred Pill City. He was arrogant because he was still young and has already become the Vice City Lord. But the arrogance was not the only trait he had. He was also petty, ruthless, and an extremely sinister person. He was able to reach this step in power under the Mu Family because of these traits he possessed.
At this moment, he was being highly valued by the Mu Family.
"Why aren"t you bowing when you see Vice City Lord?" A burly man roared when he saw Ye Xiao not bowing and then fiercely kicked at Ye Xiao"s knee. But Ye Xiao remained unmoving and steadily stood there. Although the burly man"s leg was powerful enough to shatter a rock, Ye Xiao acted as if nothing happened to him.
He looked straight at Vice City Lord and coldly said: "Why have you called me here? If there is nothing then don"t waste my time!"
So what if Ye Xiao was in the Divine Realm and was no match for Divine Beings, the man in front of him was still not a Divine Being. Moreover, even if he was a Divine Being, Ye Xiao would not be scared of him.
Sen Liang, the Vice City Lord frowned when he heard Ye Xiao. His face filled with anger. He looked at the big-sized man beside him as that man shouting: "Impudent, it is your honor to be summoned by Vice City Lord. Not only are you not bowing, but you are also being rude to Vice City Lord, you are seeking death!"
As he said that, the big-sized man slapped Ye Xiao.
"Too slow!" Ye Xiao sneered and waved his palm. His palm was like lightning, bringing with it the power of thunder as his palm struck the big-sized man"s wrist. A burst of flames immediately burst out and the big-sized man screamed out in pain. On his wrist, there was actually smoke as the smell of burnt flesh pervaded out.
After Ye Xiao crippled the big-sized man"s arm with one palm, his leg was wrapped in a ball of intense flames, releasing a scorching aura which flew out like lightning, jumping from the bottom to the top, kicking the big-sized man"s chin. The people around could only hear the sound of bones shattering and the big-sized man flew out before falling onto the ground as he screamed in pain.
"Humph!" Ye Xiao snorted.
"Lawless brat, go and capture this b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Someone shouted as a big man rushed forward.
"Wait!" Sen Liang finally spoke with a lazy voice. It was true that Ye Xiao"s attack just now had shocked him, but he wasn"t afraid of Ye Xiao at all.
Sen Liang lazily stood up and walked towards Ye Xiao with his hands behind his back. He said in a slightly cold voice, "I have already been Vice City Lord for fifty years but this is still the first time someone dares to be so ruthless in front of me. I usually don"t care about the lives of people that don"t have any value!"
Sen Liang"s voice suddenly became sinister as his entire body released a strong killing intent. His five fingers opened up and like a hawk grabbing a rabbit, he bent over forcefully, bringing a strong burst of spirit energy, and rushed towards Ye Xiao"s head.
Ye Xiao was already prepared for this. He immediately manipulated the Heavenly Lightning as a violent and furious bolt of lightning instantly smashed onto Sen Liang"s palm.
"Bang!"
A burst of berserk thunder echoed out and the astral wind which carried an extremely berserk lightning presence also blew Sen Liang"s hair into a mess. His entire body was also in a mess.
"Vice City Lord!"
After the big-sized men saw this, they shouted loudly and rushed over. Pulling out their sharp blades, they fiercely slashed at Ye Xiao. Their blades carried a strong amount of spirit energy. It was clear that they wanted to hack Ye Xiao into pieces.
Ye Xiao wanted to move but at this moment, he suddenly felt as if his entire body was bound tightly by countless chains and he could not even move.
The next moment, all the terrifying attacks were already in front of Ye Xiao and were about to cut him into pieces, but suddenly, Ye Xiao"s Divine Soul trembled fiercely. Ye Xiao felt as if his entire body was experiencing a very tormenting pain.
The next instant, Ye Xiao saw that everything in front of him vanished as if there was nothing there to begin with.
Ye Xiao was still standing in the silent street where there was no one.
"I fell into an illusion!"
Ye Xiao muttered in his heart and looked below his feet. There, he could see a formation that he could not understand with his current understanding of the formations.
"A Divine Level Illusion Formation?"
He was surprised to a Divine Level Illusion Formation below his feet.
Ye Xiao didn"t even know when he fell into an illusion. He felt as if everything was real. The most frightening part about this formation was that even his Divine Sense was beguiled, Ye Xiao didn"t feel that he had fallen into an illusion.
A Divine Formation was really too terrifying. If not for Ye Xiao"s extremely powerful soul that was only one of its kind, Ye Xiao would have been dead by now.
Inside the illusion formation, when Ye Xiao was attacked and he felt he could not move at all. The moment the attacks were about to land on his body, it affected his soul, causing his soul to shake violently, bringing Ye Xiao out of the illusion.
The illusion was an ability that could affect a martial artist"s soul. If the attacks would have landed on Ye Xiao"s body inside the Illusion Formation, his soul would definitely have suffered badly, to the extent that he might have died.
But...
Ye Xiao"s soul was no ordinary Divine Soul, his soul was Ancient Emperor Divine Soul. No one under the heavens had his kind of soul. No Soul Attack could hurt Ye Xiao"s soul and even if Ye Xiao"s physical body were to be torn into pieces, his soul would still be alright. Nothing can damage Ye Xiao"s soul, not even the Heavenly Tribulation or the Eyes of Heavenly Dao.
Even if Ye Xiao"s physical body were to be destroyed, he could reborn again by possessing another body or using some secret method to create another body. The greatest loss would be the loss of his hard work, his efforts of increasing his strength, and his cultivation base.
If that really happened, Ye Xiao would need to start all over again.
Well, coming back to the point, Ye Xiao"s Ancient Emperor Divine Soul reacted on its own when it felt danger and also counterattacked, causing Ye Xiao to feel a tormenting pain for a little while.
Well, the person who laid down this Illusion Formation must have also suffered soul injuries because of the soul attack launched by Ye Xiao"s soul.
Ye Xiao looked at his surrounding but didn"t find anyone. He then spread his Divine Sense and found a person in the corner of an alley not far from where he was standing.
Ye Xiao immediately arrived in front of the culprit.
This person was a middle-aged man and he was actually a Late Dao Soul Stage of the Dao Manifestation Realm martial artist. He was at the same level as the Demon Master of the Blood Demon Sect.
Currently, he was sitting on the ground while holding his head with both hands. He was gritting his teeth and was enduring the pain that was coming from his soul. Blood was flowing out from his mouth, nose, and eyes.
Although Ye Xiao was standing in front of him, he didn"t do anything to Ye Xiao. He only took a look at Ye Xiao with anger as well as fear in his eyes. The pain that he was feeling was so terrifying that he could not even say a single word.
Ye Xiao didn"t do anything to the middle-aged man. He immediately turned back and left.
Although the middle-aged man"s soul was injured because of Ye Xiao soul"s subconscious attack and was enduring great pain, it doesn"t mean that he was helpless and could not do any harm to Ye Xiao.
With his current strength, he could easily kill Ye Xiao. So, Ye Xiao chose to not do anything and escape from this place.
He knew that he was targeted by the middle-aged man because he had offended the son of the city lord.
This city was dangerous for Ye Xiao to stay in, so he immediately left the Sacred Pill City, heading towards a different city.
