Chapter 257: Commotion
"What did I see? That boy actually sent the previous sect leader flying. Previous sect leader is already a Martial Saint but even so, he suffered injuries from a Martial Ancestor Realm young man!"
"He is too powerful. He can actually fight beyond his cultivation realm!"
"His martial arts skill... it was even more powerful than our sect"s core skill, One Slash Equal Hundred!"
"....."
The people present in the great hall looked at Ye Xiao as if they were looking at a monster. They started to talk among themselves in low voices so that Ye Xiao or the old man does not listen to them.
"Just who are you? What enmity do you have with my Hundred Sword Sect!" That old man staggered and stood up then he looked at Ye Xiao fearfully and asked.
There was still a lingering fear in heart of the old man. When Ye Xiao"s attack collided with him, he felt an extremely dangerous aura from Ye Xiao"s technique. It was clear that Ye Xiao was unable to show the full efficiency of the martial arts skill he used otherwise he would have died from the last attack.
Ye Xiao"s "Sea Dragon Descends" was an Immortal Level martial arts skill but he himself was only a cultivator at the Fifth Stage of the Martial Ancestor Realm, it was normal for him to be unable to show the full efficiency and power of the Sea Dragon Descends.
"Well, I have no enmity with your Hundred Sword Sect but the disciple of your Hundred Sword Sect did something that he should not have. So... I am here!" Ye Xiao smiled at the old man and replied.
"Who is that disciple? Tell me and I will punish him." The old man again said.
Hearing him, all the elders were shocked. The old man exchanged only one move with Ye Xiao and now, he was so scared of him that he said he started to look for ways to save himself. These elders could not understand why their previous sect leader was so scared.
These elders have no idea how terrifying Ye Xiao currently was, only the old man himself knew.
"Don"t worry! I"ve already killed him. It was your young sect leader Fu Chen who dared to have ideas about the Su Family, Su Xue Er, and the treasure at the top floor of the tower!" Ye Xiao once again replied.
"What? You... you are here for the Su Family and the treasure?"
"No, I am here for Su Xue Er!"
"Y-You have already killed Fu Chen and the sect leader of my Hundred Sword Sect. Can you now let us go? I promise I will never make trouble for the Su Family. I will even nurture their disciple with great care in my Hundred Sword Sect."
"There is no need." Ye Xiao said with a smile, "You don"t need to take care of the Su Family. Don"t worry, I will not do anything to the Hundred Sword Sect. Your Hundred Sword Sect"s enmity is with Su Xue Er. She will decide what to do with your sect. As for me, I am just here to kill three people. Two have already been killed, you are the third!"
Saying this, without giving the old man any chance, Ye Xiao"s hands turned into the Dragon"s Claws and pierced the old man"s heart, killing him on the spot.
A powerful cultivator like the previous sect leader of the Hundred Sword Sect died just like that.
After killing the old man, Ye Xiao turned to look at others and said coldly, "Spread the words out of what happened here. And also, warn everyone, if anyone dared to find trouble with the Su Family, their ending will be the same as the three people of your Hundred Sword Sect."
"Yes, yes. Don"t worry senior, we will do as you say!"
"Good!"
.....
One day later, a huge commotion was stirred up in the entire White Tiger Empire. Everyone who heard the news about the death of Fu Chen, his master, and the previous sect leader of the Hundred Sword Sect very shocked.
No matter what place and who it was, everyone was talking about this matter. This news also spread outside the White Tiger Empire, shocking the people of the other three empires.
When the Su family heard this news, they immediately understood that it was Ye Xiao who did all of this as the people of the Hundred Sword Sect were saying that the killer was extremely young, about twenty years old.
The Su Family was very grateful to Ye Xiao for what he did for them. They started to wait for the return of Ye Xiao and Su Xue Er.
Another five days later, Ye Xiao arrived at the Su Family but seeing him alone, the patriarch of the Su Family, Su Dingfang asked Ye Xiao about his daughter and when Ye Xiao told them about Su Xue Er who was merging with the bloodline of an Immortal, they immediately started to brim with happiness.
Ye Xiao wanted to travel every Empire of the Holy Beast Continent so he bid his farewell to the Su Family and left.
.....
Little Orchid Town was a small border town between White Tiger Empire and Azure Dragon Empire. Although it was called a town, it was still as large as a city but it was unable to compare to a unique city like Canglan City.
The town was surrounded by high walls. The security and property were all managed by a few small powers in this town.
On a seat close to the window in a Tavern sat a small cultivator at the Martial King Realm with two dishes and a jug of wine.
Suddenly this cultivator let out a light laugh and drank the wine in his cup. A spicy feeling blossomed in his throat, causing him to be unable to stop himself from choking.
"Haha, little fellow, don"t drink if you can"t." Someone in the neighbouring seat mocked him.
That young man didn"t say anything as he looked out the window. It had been six days since he bid his farewell to the Su Family. After travelling to many small and big cities, today, he finally arrived at Little Orchid Town.
For the past few days, he did not eat anything, and just after arriving at the Little Orchid Town, Ye Xiao saw a small Tavern so he decided to stop here to eat then continue his journey to the Azure Dragon Empire.
"Screech!"
Suddenly, an ear-piercing sound disturbed Ye Xiao"s absent-mindedness as a huge flying beast appeared in the sky above.
"A Yellow-Feathered Eagle!"
This was only a slightly bustling town and Yellow-Feathered Eagles were rare here and it attracted a lot of attention.
"Look, that"s a Yellow-Feathered Eagle."
This is a flying-type magical beast, it is priceless. Only a few big powers can own it.
The residents of the town raised their heads to look at the sky, exclaiming repeatedly.
"Screech!"
In the sky, another bird"s cry echoed. The sound was sharp and ear-piercing and its wing brought up gusts of wind. So, there was not only one Yellow-Feathered Eagle, but more of them were still coming.
The sky darkened and three Yellow-Feathered Eagles appeared in the air. They flapped their wings and flew past each other.
"Three of Yellow-Feathered Eagles appeared at once, how generous."
"Looking at that direction, it should be towards the Zhao Family. Could it be that the Zhao Family went to Imperial City and bought three Yellow-Feathered Eagles?"
Envy was revealed in the eyes of many cultivators. Yellow-Feathered Eagles were flying magical beasts and only those big powers have the qualification to use these Yellow-Feathered Eagles as mounts.
The appearance of the Yellow-Feathered Eagle in this small caused a huge commotion. Everyone was discussing and guessing where the Yellow-Feathered Eagle had come from.
"Boom!"
As soon as the screeching in the sky faded away, the earth began to tremble once more and dark figures emerged from the streets.
These were some tall horses that were a head taller than normal horses. Their bodies were covered with dense scales, and they were extraordinary.
Wind Chasing Horses. These are also a type of magical beasts.
"There"s more than ten of them! What is going on? First, there are Yellow-Feathered Eagles, and now Wind Chasing Horses?
A dozen or so Wind Chasing Horses charged straight into the Little Orchid Town, causing the earth to tremble under their horses" hooves, bringing about no small amount of shock.
"They are also going to the Zhao Family and each of the cultivators sitting on the horse is unfamiliar people. It is impossible that these Wind Chasing Horses are bought by the Zhao Family."
"Since it"s not the Wind Chasing Horse that the Zhao Family bought, then why did these people come to the Little Orchid Town?"
Many people started to discuss among themselves as the commotion caused by the Yellow-Feathered Eagles and Wind Chasing Horses were not small.
At this moment, everyone"s attention was attracted by them. Ye Xiao was no exception as a scene like this is something very rare to see.
