Chapter 343: Chapter 342: Intimidation

"Ye Xuan?!"

The people nearby, upon hearing the name Ye Xuan, all looked at him with odd expressions on their faces.

"The Ye Xuan whose reputation has recently spread far in the Southern Domain, that wouldn’t be you, would it?" someone muttered.

Before Ye Xuan could speak, someone else said, "That’s impossible. I’ve heard that Ye Xuan is a powerful being who could even slay the Saint Heir of the Clouds. They said he’s two meters tall, with a magnificent aura, looking down upon the world. The two couldn’t possibly be more different!"

While saying this, they also gave Ye Xuan a strange glance.

"Right, if it were really him, he wouldn’t appear in a place like this."

The crowd also found it unlikely.

After all, that was a person whose fame was at its peak recently; how could he coincidentally appear here?

Ye Xuan showed no intention of joining in the crowd’s discussion.

Whether it was him or not, what impact would that have?

To him, these people were but inconspicuous passersby in the long journey of his life.

Between them, there was an insurmountable chasm.

Ye Xuan naturally had no need to blend in with them.

Seeing that Ye Xuan made no attempt to defend himself, the crowd began to discuss more boldly.

In their view, Ye Xuan must have felt guilty, hence his silence.

The two must simply share the same name.

Meanwhile, Tong Shishi, standing to one side, watched Ye Xuan with curiosity.

She always felt that Ye Xuan was unlike ordinary people, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly how.

It was like an intuition that couldn’t be articulated.

"Are you an alchemist?"

It was a while before Tong Shishi asked.

"I suppose so," Ye Xuan responded indifferently.

Tong Shishi felt somewhat disappointed seeing how indifferent Ye Xuan was. Although she wasn’t a woman with a high sense of vanity, she was used to young talents flocking around her, all eager to listen and respond to whatever she said.

But Ye Xuan was different; he seemed unwilling to even spare her an extra glance, which Tong Shishi found puzzling.

Could it be that her charm had waned?

Subconsciously, Tong Shishi looked herself up and down.

After this gesture, her cheeks turned red from shyness. What was she doing, and why had such a strange thought crossed her mind?

Was it because Ye Xuan’s coldness had triggered her vanity?

’Am I really that vain?’

Suddenly, Tong Shishi felt a sense of loss.

However, Ye Xuan wasn’t thinking about any of this at all. He has never liked wasting words.

It was only because Tong Shishi had spoken up for him just now that he had bothered to respond at all.

As for beauty...

Ha!

He was a married man, after all.

Moreover, in his words: beneath the skin of beauty lies white bones.

No matter how breathtaking your elegance, in the end, all that remains is a clump of earth.

Throughout the ages, Ye Xuan had seen too many peerless Empresses, but in the end, beauty fades, and the song ends as people leave...

He didn’t like to engage too deeply with others.

Because he knew that, in the end, they would all die.

And he would continue to exist...

The most painful thing in life is to watch one familiar face after another disappear into the dust of history.

"Those who are seeking medicine, please come this way."

At that moment, a steward from the Immortal King Hall appeared and signaled for Tong Shishi and the others to head to another area.

"Young Master Ye Xuan, aren’t you here for the medicine?" Tong Shishi snap out of it and looked toward Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, without saying much.

His visit was not for the purpose of seeking medicine, after all.

Seeing this, Tong Shishi’s eyes filled with even more loss, but she quickly said, "Then, I’ll see you later."

After speaking, Tong Shishi waved at Ye Xuan and left.

Ye Xuan revealed a slight smile, finally breaking away from his constant indifference.

At the moment Tong Shishi turned back, she caught that glimpse of a smile on Ye Xuan’s face.

For some reason, her heart began to race, causing her cheeks to burn.

"Such a strange feeling..."

Tong Shishi took a deep breath and muttered to herself.

Watching Tong Shishi leave, Ye Xuan turned his gaze towards Master Cang Song who was ahead.

"Young brother, come with me," Master Cang Song gestured for Ye Xuan to continue following him.

Ye Xuan kept following.

Only the two of them remained.

Not a word was spoken on the way.

Under the guidance of Master Cang Song, Ye Xuan arrived at an ancient building.

The moment Ye Xuan stepped into that building, the smile on Master Cang Song’s face vanished instantly, replaced by a dark grimace.

Boom————

A terrifying power suddenly burst forth from Master Cang Song, rolling towards Ye Xuan with crushing force!

It was a terrifying pressure, as if a hundred thousand mountains were bearing down, making it somewhat difficult to breathe.

"You little bastard, you actually dared to follow me?!"

Master Cang Song looked at Ye Xuan with a gloomy face and said in a deep voice.

Terrifying powers surged from Master Cang Song’s body, continuously pressing towards Ye Xuan.

"Speak, how much did Xu Zhengfei pay to hire you?"

Master Cang Song demanded coldly.

However, Ye Xuan kept his hands in his pockets, his expression calm, without even a flutter of his clothes.

Gazing calmly at Master Cang Song, his eyes deep, Ye Xuan said indifferently, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Oh? Still not admitting it? No rush, I have plenty of methods to make you confess!" said Master Cang Song with an icy face.

This guy, clearly someone Xu Zhengfei had found, was still not admitting it.

He had to admit that although the guy was young, he was quite good at playing coy.

But today, he had plenty of ways to make him spit out the truth. Once he had the confession, he would immediately go and deal with Xu Zhengfei.

Ye Xuan looked at Master Cang Song with a faint gaze and said slowly, "I don’t care about whatever internal strife you have in Immortal King Valley, I am here to go to the Immortal King Hall. If you don’t have the ability, then let your Valley Master come see me. Don’t waste my time here."

"Understand?"

Ye Xuan spoke faintly, his profound eyes seemingly containing the vast Dao of eternity.

In that instant, Master Cang Song, who was about to laugh, suddenly became rigid, feeling as though he was being targeted by the most terrifying existence in the world, a sensation akin to a soul flitting out of his body!

It felt just like being forced into the Ghost Gate!

Too terrifying!

Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze, hands still in his pockets, and said no more.

Thud.

The moment Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze, Master Cang Song felt as if a great burden had been lifted. He collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.

When he finally came to his senses, he found himself drenched in cold sweat.

This youth was simply like a demon!

"You... you really aren’t sent by Xu Zhengfei?" Master Cang Song swallowed, still in disbelief.

"What do you think?" Ye Xuan retorted.

Without thinking, Master Cang Song said, "Then how could you recognize the problem with the Cangyan Pill at a glance?"

After asking, Master Cang Song realized how foolish his question sounded.

For such a terrifying youth, was it hard to spot the issue with the Cangyan Pill?

Still, Master Cang Song couldn’t fathom the origins of Ye Xuan.

Moreover, just now he had mentioned that he was here to find the Immortal King Hall!

The Immortal King Hall!

To Immortal King Valley, that was the most powerful heritage in the world!

Immortal King Valley existed because of the Immortal King Hall.

Without the Immortal King Hall, there would be no Immortal King Valley.

Yet for the Immortal King Hall, Immortal King Valley was dispensable.

And this young man in front of him intended to go to the Immortal King Hall.

"Sir, I am not in charge when it comes to the Immortal King Hall," Master Cang Song could only confess truthfully.

Ye Xuan frowned slightly, "Didn’t you just say you were in charge?"

Master Cang Song gave an awkward smile and said, "I thought the sir was referring to affairs within the Immortal King Valley..."

"Can your Valley Master take charge?" Ye Xuan asked.

Master Cang Song nodded, "The Valley Master could indeed, but he is currently in seclusion."

"Then go and call him out," Ye Xuan said.

"This..., wouldn’t that be a bit inappropriate?" Master Cang Song shrank back a little.

Ye Xuan gave Master Cang Song a sideways glance and said indifferently, "Don’t worry, by the time I give him a few pointers on the spot, I guarantee he’ll come out stronger than if he stayed in seclusion."

Master Cang Song: "..."

"What are you dawdling for?" Ye Xuan gave the exasperated Master Cang Song a sideways glance.

Master Cang Song could only get up and go to call the Valley Master of Immortal King Valley.

This young man in front of him was completely beyond what he could handle.

Since he could not handle him, neither could the other Elders, leaving him no choice but to find the Valley Master.

"Damn Xu Zhengfei, he almost got me killed!"

As he left the room, Master Cang Song couldn’t help but curse under his breath.

In that moment, he truly felt as if he were on the brink of death.

But now was not the time for settling scores; he had to hurry and find the Valley Master!
