Chapter 408: Chapter 407: Red Sparrow Saintess

"And what about you?" Ye Xuan frowned, looking at Leng Hongmi lying on the ground, her pretty face deathly pale, and said indifferently.

Leng Hongmi snorted coldly, "As I said, I came to recruit people, not to cause trouble. If you really want to continue, then just kill me, I won’t call for help."

She had seen through this guy by now—he just wanted to kidnap them and then extort a ransom!

It was also at this moment that they finally understood why Ye Xuan had asked if they had any backing while he was fighting them earlier.

It wasn’t that he was afraid they had powerful connections.

It was that he was afraid they didn’t have any connections at all.

The reason they weren’t dead was that they still had value.

For them, this feeling was incredibly uncomfortable—to the utmost degree.

You have to understand, they were all famous geniuses, but now they were being kidnapped and used as bargaining chips!

This was an utter humiliation!

But to survive, they could only behave obediently.

After witnessing Ye Xuan’s terror, they did not doubt that if they did not stop Ye Xuan, he would definitely crush them to death.

But Leng Hongmi was clearly somewhat different from Le Hongbo and the other two.

Born into nobility, and being the favored daughter of the Red Sparrow Institute, she naturally couldn’t stand this kind of insult.

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s threat, she didn’t even bow her head but chose to resist outright.

She even resorted to threatening him with her own death.

Ye Xuan looked at this girl and couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing, "Killing you is easy, just a matter of one punch, but it wouldn’t be fun if you died."

"Since you’re not willing to call for help, I’ll do it for you."

Ye Xuan’s right hand took something out of his pocket, and his sword finger twitched slightly.

Boom!

In an instant, a terrifying Sword Intent surged forth, transforming into a Divine Sword that charged directly at Leng Hongmi.

The Divine Sword emitted a fierce howl, arriving in a flash.

At that moment, Le Hongbo and the other two felt as if their hearts stopped beating.

This Ye Xuan, was he really unafraid of death, to lay a hand on someone from the Red Sparrow Institute?!

You have to know, the Red Sparrow Institute in the East Desolation Domain is also an extremely powerful force, worthy of being called a top-tier power.

An existence of such caliber, with a mere stomp, could cause the destruction of the Southern Domain.

Ye Xuan dared to make a killing move on Leng Hongmi?!

Leng Hongmi had not expected that this seemingly young man would strike so ruthlessly, without leaving any room for survival!

"It’s over!"

In that instant, Leng Hongmi felt she was about to die.

That terrifying Sword Intent enveloped her, causing her Divine Soul to tremble, leaving no space for any resistance.

Unlike Liu Binghua, Ye Xuan struck directly and inflicted heavy injuries on these people, leaving no chance for them to fight back, letting them hang by a thread of life.

On the other hand, Liu Binghua had merely been so because Ye Xuan wanted to give him a thorough beating first.

Therefore, Liu Binghua was allowed a chance to fight back.

No.

To be precise, it was Ye Xuan who intentionally gave Liu Binghua a chance to fight back.

There is a kind of pleasure in the world: giving enemies hope, then crushing that hope, and again giving them hope, only to crush it anew.

This is what is truly exhilarating.

As the ancient Undying Night Emperor, Ye Xuan had plenty of ways to deal with his enemies.

The so-called imperviousness was simply because the manipulation was not yet perfect.

Once the manipulation was sufficient, everything would fall into place.

Boom!

Just when Leng Hongmi felt that she was about to die, a terrifying aura suddenly burst forth from her.

This aura, like a blood-red brightness, soared to the Nine Heavens Cloud, blasting a colossal hole in the sky.

And in that moment, Ye Xuan’s Sword Intent dissipated into nothingness.

"Who dares to harm my Junior Sister?"

It was an incredibly beautiful woman clad in red armor, with a presence as if she were truly there, her face stunningly gorgeous, not even inferior to Zhou Youwei.

Her valor showed through, exuding a heroic air, like a female War God.

The dark red armor, interwoven with gold threads, covered a tight red dress underneath that outlined an exquisite figure.

Even merely a phantom, she still displayed a perfect physique.

As the woman erupted with this terrifying aura, the entire Southern Domain, for billions of miles around, trembled.

Her aura far surpassed the previous Liu Changfei’s!

To the extreme of eeriness.

At that instant, the Sects of many great forces in the Southern Domain were shocked beyond measure.

Even within the Sun Swallowing Sect, many were paying close attention.

Lin Feiyan, too, was shaken.

"Hahaha, disciple, your heartthrob has another candidate," the ancient voice from Lin Feiyan’s string of prayer beads echoed.

Lin Feiyan was immediately astounded and whispered, "Master, could it be that the aura belongs to a lady?"

"Of course!" the ancient voice sounded again, "Let me show you her visage!"

Hum————

The next moment, a phantom suddenly hovered in front of Lin Feiyan.

That phantom was indeed the one resembling a female War God.

"So beautiful..."

Seeing that phantom, Lin Feiyan was somewhat transfixed.

Up to now, he had only seen such transcendence and otherworldly grace on Zhou Youwei.

Who would have thought that such an extraordinary woman existed in the world!

Simply perfect!

"Disciple, this woman is the Holy Daughter of the Red Sparrow Institute, celebrated in the East Desolate for her beauty. If you can win her over and become the son-in-law of the Red Sparrow Institute, the future would be promising," the ancient voice rang out.

Lin Feiyan also snapped back to reality and exclaimed, "Such a woman won’t be easy to win over."

"Afraid of what? Don’t let the incident with Zhou Youwei cause you to be obstructed by inner demons. Remember, you are now a disciple of the Sun Swallowing Sect, and with your status and position, you are not inferior to that little girl from the Red Sparrow Institute," the ancient voice said.

Hearing this, Lin Feiyan secretly nodded, agreeing with his master’s rationale.

He was a War God Body, already stepping into the peak of Miao Xuan. If he could enter the realm of minor achievement, he would be a prodigy in the East Desolation Domain.

Adding to that, his status as a disciple of the Sun Swallowing Sect was in place.

Afraid, my ass!

"Wait for half a year, when Hengduan Mountain in the East Desolate opens, you will represent the Sun Swallowing Sect and venture out. The people from the Red Sparrow Institute will certainly go as well, so just wait," the ancient voice advised.

"Good!" Lin Feiyan’s eyes brightened as he collected his thoughts and re-entered seclusion.

Having joined the Sun Swallowing Sect, with plentiful resources at his disposal, all he needed to do was focus on cultivation.

In just half a year since joining the Sun Swallowing Sect, his strength had progressed daily, and now he had condensed his fifth Grotto Heaven!

Just some time ago, he was lavishly praised by the Supreme Elder of the Sun Swallowing Sect.

Claiming his talent was exceptional.

Now with his master’s words, he was full of drive to move forward!

After Lin Feiyan entered seclusion, the elder from the Sky Covering Demon Sect within the ancient prayer beads muttered to himself.

’Why would someone from the Red Sparrow Institute run off to the Southern Domain...’

As far as he knew, the Southern Domain was backward and traditionally regarded by other areas of the East Desolation Domain as a place of insignificance, barren and desolate. The Red Sparrow Institute was a major force in the East Desolation Domain, and under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t bother coming here.

Could it be that there was some treasure unearthed in the Southern Domain?

Unfortunately, he was trapped within these prayer beads and couldn’t go out to investigate, left only to guess in the dark.

...

Meanwhile, back in Wan’an City.

"The Red Sparrow Saintess!"

Seeing that peerlessly beautiful woman appear, Le Hongbo and the others took a sharp intake of breath as their eyes filled with shock.

The Red Sparrow Saintess!

She was the Saintess of the Red Sparrow Institute!

To Le Hongbo and the others, Leng Hongmi was already out of reach.

Who would have thought that the Red Sparrow Saintess would also come?

It was well known that the Red Sparrow Saintess had a beautiful reputation throughout the entire East Desolation Domain.

Her beauty was of a masculine kind, rarely seen in women.

Add to that the title of the Red Sparrow Saintess, and it became even more enchanting.

A combination of strength and allure.

That’s probably what they meant.

They did not expect, however, that Leng Hongmi would have such a trump card.

"Senior Sister!"

Leng Hongmi, who had been in despair, was suddenly overjoyed upon seeing that figure akin to a female War God.

Only then did she remember that when she left the Sect, her senior sister had given her a jade pendant, but she had never been told its use.

But now, Leng Hongmi had come to understand the function of that jade pendant!

Within it resided the power of the Red Sparrow Saintess; it could even invoke her consciousness.

"It seems that the Red Sparrow Institute’s influence is much stronger than those three powers," Ye Xuan noted as he looked at the phantom of the Red Sparrow Saintess, chuckling.
