Supreme of the Heavenly Realm
Chapter 48 - 48 45 Xuanbing Mansion Granny Ning

48: Chapter 45 Xuanbing Mansion Granny Ning 48: Chapter 45 Xuanbing Mansion Granny Ning Great Xia Kingdom’s Capital, the Jun family.

The Capital gathered roughly one-tenth of the entire Great Xia Kingdom’s population and attracted top-tier families and powerful commercial forces, making it the kingdom’s largest city.

Within the Capital, no one dared to offend others randomly in the streets, as they may very likely be members of some major power.

Prosperity and authority were the Capital’s most distinguishing features and key words.

And the Jun family, being one of the most powerful families in the entire Great Xia Kingdom with only a few capable of contending, held sway in the Capital, with influence second only to the Royal Family.

The Capital covered an extensive area, and the Jun family’s estate was located in an incredibly luxurious manor in the western part of the city.

Spanning tens of thousands of acres, a manor of such magnitude within the highly coveted Capital was a rarity.

“Zhao Kui, you’re saying that not only did the Blood Dragon Gang fail to succeed, but they were also destroyed by the Ye family?”

In the luxurious hall, a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes sat on a master chair, frowning as he held a teacup.

“Yes, with the Blood Dragon Gang’s strength, it should have been easy to break through Breeze Manor and destroy the Ye family’s Spirit Medicine Garden.

But who could have predicted that Ye Xuan would appear out of nowhere?

Although young, his strength has already surpassed Ye Zhan, who was guarding Breeze Manor.

The Blood Dragon and his two vice leaders were killed by this young man.” The man known as Zhao Kui, dressed in black, seemed to be in his early sixties.

His gaze was as sharp as a hawk’s, and his hair showed no signs of graying, a clear indication of a high-rank martial expert.

“Oh?

Ye Xuan again?

Last time at the autumn hunt, it was Wuyan who lost to him, right?” The middle-aged man’s eyes flashed as he set down his teacup again.

“Yes, that’s him.

Second Master, should we find an opportunity to…?”

A fierce glint flashed in Zhao Kui’s eyes as he made a throat-slitting gesture.

“Hmm, this young man is improving rapidly.

If we don’t eliminate him soon, he could become a huge problem for our Jun family in the future.

You handle this, Zhao Kui.

But make sure it’s done discreetly.

After all, the boy is still nominally Princess Xia Xun’s fiancé.

We can’t let anyone know it was us.”

The finely dressed middle-aged man spoke indifferently, but his words already harbored intentions of murder against Ye Xuan.

Dealing with a talent like him, the best strategy was to snuff him out before he could fully grow.

Although Ye Xuan’s death would make the Jun family the prime suspects, without evidence or witnesses, who could prove it was their doing?

Without solid proof, all would be fine.

“As you command.”

Zhao Kui nodded, a flicker of murderous intent crossing his eyes.

With his ability, taking down a young Third Grade Martial Master was a piece of cake.

In his years serving the Jun family, plenty of these so-called prodigies had died by his hand.

A genius who can’t grow is no longer a genius.

…

Back at Breeze Manor, after the night battle, Ye Xuan stayed put within the manor for two days.

These days passed peacefully, suggesting that after the Blood Dragon Gang’s destruction, the Jun family evidently had no further schemes against the Spirit Medicine Garden.

For the time being, Breeze Manor should not face any more troubles.

Once Ye Zhan had taken care of matters, Ye Xuan bid farewell to him.

With his task completed, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

Naturally, Ye Zhan did not try to keep him.

With Ye Xuan being the most dazzling new star of the Ye family, his assignment to Breeze Manor was solely to deal with the Blood Dragon Gang.

The manor couldn’t contain such a dragon in hiding.

After leaving Breeze Manor, Ye Xuan mounted the Two-headed Demon Tiger and rode quickly back to the Ye Residence.

In the wake of the Blood Dragon Gang incident, his revealed combat power became increasingly stunning.

It wouldn’t be long before the Jun family took action against him; he had to be cautious.

Breeze Manor, with its shortage of experts, was not suitable for a lengthy stay.

Remaining there posed a great risk.

The path back to the city was now familiar, and within just half a day, Ye Xuan and his party returned to the Ye Residence, just as evening approached.

For the following period, Ye Xuan planned not to leave Tianyang County, or even the Ye family estate, as a precaution.

…

The next day, the heavens gradually cleared, and the sun broke free from the earth’s constraints, once again bathing every corner in its warm light.

In these days, Ye Xuan stayed indoors, never venturing out of the Ye Residence.

He spent his time cultivating and occasionally guiding the Ye family’s younger generation, providing some assistance to the family.

On the training ground.

“This Star Falling Sword Skill is not to be used this way.

The essence lies in the character ‘intricate.’ Thus, speed is one aspect, but more importantly, you must mix the moves to create a sense like falling petals or scattered stars, confusing the enemy and making them incapable of extrication.”

Ye Xuan was instructing a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl from the Ye family, teaching her Swordsmanship.

This Star Falling Sword Skill was a Mortal Grade, high-rank Swordsmanship he had practiced in a previous life.

His insight and understanding of it were profound.

He had recently passed the skill to Ye Tianxiong for the next generation in the family; the skill was indeed a formidable piece of Martial Arts.

“Let me demonstrate for you.”

Knowing explanation alone was insufficient, Ye Xuan took the iron sword from the girl’s hand and started to swing it.

With his movements, the Sword Skill was truly like scattered petals, and the sword light glittered like stars, dazzling to the eyes and overpowering with each move.

The essence of the Star Falling Sword Skill had been fully demonstrated by Ye Xuan in just one attempt.

Five minutes later, having performed the entire sword technique, Ye Xuan handed the fine iron sword back to the girl, “Did you understand it?”

“Uh…”

Her eyes still seemed dizzy, and the girl shook her head somewhat shamefully.

“Practice at your own pace.”

Ye Xuan, of course, did not expect everyone to be a genius.

After all, he himself had started from scratch, training step by step, to gain such a profound understanding of Martial Arts.

Many things cannot be accomplished overnight.

“Young Master Ye Xuan!”

Just as Ye Xuan had begun to catch his breath, a shout came from afar.

Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a familiar figure approaching hurriedly.

“Housekeeper Zhao?”

Upon a clearer view of the visitor, Ye Xuan was surprised.

Calling him was none other than Housekeeper Zhao from the Nangong family.

“Is there a problem?”

Ye Xuan could not help but wonder, Housekeeper Zhao’s visit—could it be that there was some business with the Nangong family?

“Ah, I have finally found you.

Come with me to the Nangong residence, and we can talk as we walk,” said Housekeeper Zhao, furrowing his brow and sighing, “It’s about the young miss…”

“What exactly is going on?

Can you make it clear?” Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed.

“Two days ago, the young miss went with the Family Head to the outskirts for ancestral tribute when they encountered a Granny Ning.

Granny Ning took a liking to the young miss’s talent and also claimed that the miss had a natural Xuanyin Body, suitable for cultivating her Cultivation Technique.

She wanted to take the young miss as her apprentice,” Housekeeper Zhao explained.

“Oh?”

Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback by this information, Granny Ning was apparently able to recognize that Nangong Yao had the natural Xuanyin Body.

She was likely not just some street swindler or an average person.

“What’s Granny Ning’s background?” Ye Xuan inquired.

“The Family Head mentioned that she hails from a Sect known as Xuanbing Mansion…

The Family Head once sparred with Granny Ning and was defeated by her in just one move,” Housekeeper Zhao said with a look of reverence.

“What?”

Ye Xuan was shocked once more.

Nangong Bo was of a significant force, having reached the level of a Seventh Grade Martial Master.

To defeat him in one move suggested that Granny Ning was likely a Martial Sect Master, but Ye Xuan had never heard of Xuanbing Mansion, and there didn’t appear to be such a Sect in the Tiannan Region.

“If Granny Ning can defeat the head of the Nangong family in one move, she must indeed be a Martial Sect Master.

If she wants to take Yaoer as her apprentice, and if her intentions are not malicious, it could be a good thing for Yaoer,” Ye Xuan pondered for a moment before speaking.

The resources of a Sect were always more abundant than those found within noble families.

In the Spirit Martial World, the strongest forces were not nations, nor families, but Sects!

Sects are ranked from First Grade to Seventh Grade, with the highest, Seventh Grade Sects, being the rulers of the Spirit Martial World!

Just as within the Great Xia Kingdom, only a single First Grade Sect, Green Leaf Valley exists.

Yet, it commands immense respect even from the Royal Family and the noble families.

Such is the power of a Sect, even the weakest First Grade Sect is far stronger than any family in the Great Xia Kingdom.

If Nangong Yao could enter a Sect, it would significantly enhance her potential and prospects for the future.

“The Family Head, though somewhat reluctant, was pleased when Granny Ning said she could cure the young miss’s Xuanyin Body if she agreed to go with her,” Housekeeper Zhao commented.

“Then, how could the Family Head refuse?”

Ye Xuan didn’t doubt Granny Ning’s words, as there were indeed some Cultivation Techniques in this world suitable for those with a Xuanyin Body.

They could help unlock the body’s potential and transform the Xuanyin physique into a more conventional one for Cultivation.

“Of course, the Family Head didn’t refuse and was overjoyed.

However, the young miss declined.

She said she would only go if Granny Ning was willing to accept you, Young Master Ye Xuan, as her disciple as well; otherwise, she was determined not to go,” Housekeeper Zhao said with a wry smile.

“That girl, making such a demand is indeed putting someone in a tough spot.”

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but find it amusing.

That girl was still as willful as ever.

Taking disciples is not mere caprice; her request could certainly not be agreed upon so easily.

Moreover, to take someone as an apprentice, his own opinion would have to be considered.

Not just anyone was qualified to be his master.

“No matter.

Let me speak with her and see what this Xuanbing Mansion master is really about.”

Ye Xuan naturally cared for Nangong Yao, but everyone had their own path to follow.

His life was destined to be extraordinary, and he could not look after Nangong Yao forever.

Allowing her to enter a Sect was the best choice for her.
