Chapter 617 - 616: Sleeping Spring and Autumn, The Enemy Appears

Chapter 617: Chapter 616: Sleeping Spring and Autumn, The Enemy Appears

It would take roughly half a month to reach the Red Sparrow Institute.

However, with the Blood Flood Dragon Imperial Chariot, Ye Xuan didn’t need to control sky-controlling flight.

Ye Dong and three others still followed closely by Ye Xuan’s side.

Although the Mo family had always wanted Ye Xuan to set out with them so that they could travel together to Hengduan Mountain, Ye Xuan had nevertheless refused.

Additionally, Mo Yunchui had warned Ye Xuan to be wary of the Long Family and the Medicine Pavilion’s retaliation, saying that they might make a move against him. Ye Xuan didn’t take it to heart.

He had anticipated this matter early on.

The same old saying applied: if they didn’t know any better, then eradicate them root and all.

Then they couldn’t blame him.

The Flood Dragon Imperial Chariot flew through the sky, and through the clouds, one might catch a glimpse of the land below—whether it was a flat plain, a range of rolling mountains, or raging rivers.

This land belonged to the East Desolation Domain, vast and boundless.

Like the West Coast Sea, where the Qianyuan Cave Heaven was located, was just one of many seas within the East Desolation Domain.

Such oceans in the East Desolation Domain numbered no fewer than a hundred.

This goes to show just how vast the East Desolation Domain truly is.

It was said by ancients that, unless you have reached the Saint Realm, you should not even think about traversing the whole East Desolation Domain.

Keep in mind, even the flying speed of a prince can cover ten thousand miles a day.

Whereas a cultivator of the Saint Realm can travel a million miles in a day.

This by no means exaggerates the enormity of the East Desolation Domain.

However, some cultivators should not be treated as common.

Take Ye Xuan, for example.

When Ye Xuan had first entered the Inscriptions Realm, he had achieved the astonishing feat of taking three thousand miles in one step.

This could already be considered as shrinking ground to inches.

The Flood Dragon Imperial Chariot sped along, and the four Ye Dongs were all spirited, showing no signs of relaxation.

They had also received orders from Family Head Ye Hongyi that this trip might not go smoothly.

Someone might suddenly appear.

Nevertheless, after seven days of traveling without any incidents, it secretly relieved the four of them.

With them all being at the peak of the Heavenly Human Realm, potentially facing the Heavenly Human Five Decays, and still needing to be vigilant against hidden enemies, it was indeed very exhausting.

They were extremely weary.

Fortunately, the journey was without incident.

They were still three days away from reaching the Red Sparrow Institute.

Sitting askew in the Imperial Chariot, Ye Xuan was napping and resting the entire time.

Since his Emperor Soul had grown stronger, his need for sleep had increased.

Although his Taoist Body had reached the Miao Xuan Stage, he still had an adaptation process having devoured too many demon pills and absorbed many pure soul powers.

And Ye Xuan used sleep to adapt.

Moreover, this sleeping was not ordinary sleep but an ancient technique known as "Sleeping Spring and Autumn."

Sleeping Spring and Autumn, laying eternally unbothered by the years, transcending the mundane as essence returns to the celestial. Breath flows naturally, aligned with the heavenly Dao.

Unperturbed and tranquil, nurturing the inherent celestial nature, awaiting the manifestation of alchemical lead.

Guiding without straying, secure against disturbances; true fire seasoned, managed within.

Performing the Seven Returns without hardship; the Nine Refinements, void of sighs.

Watch the battle of Dragon and Tiger silently, subtly reversing Yin and Yang.

Others deem me a delusional man, yet I dream undreamed dreams.

Master this, and achieve true meditative sleep.

Nourish this, and the True Embryo forms.

Once the reclining dragon ascends, it rises to the heavens.

With the spirit entering the breath’s mansion, whether sitting or lying—the practice sleeps.

Deep in the clouds, studying Ye Xuan, a pillow of breeze broadens the heaven and earth!

Having left the Mo Family Divine City, Ye Xuan had been in a state of sleeping and resting.

The seven days had completely replenished Ye Xuan’s Essence Qi Spirit.

Feeling something, Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes and stretched leisurely, saying calmly, "Ye Dong, stop for a moment."

Ye Dong, who was in charge of controlling the Imperial Chariot, immediately reined in the four Flood Dragons and respectfully said, "My lord, what is it?"

Ye Xi, Ye Nan, and Ye Bei also became alert and scanned their surroundings.

Ye Xuan got up from the Imperial Chariot, came to the front, hands in his pockets, and looked ahead as he said coolly, "The Blood Killing Sect has a long heritage, so how come they now resort to only showing their heads and hiding their tails?"

"The Blood Killing Sect!?"

Upon hearing this, the four Ye Dongs were instantly shocked.

This was a famously powerful force within the East Desolation Domain.

This force, unlike ordinary cultivation forces, consisted entirely of top-tier assassins, and no one knew the location of their main base.

But their influence was spread throughout the entirety of the East Desolation Domain, and even in the lesser region of the Southern Domain, the Blood Killing Sect was prolific.

Ye Dong and the three others had not anticipated running into members of the Blood Killing Sect and were suddenly on high alert.

Previously, when Ye Xuan was at Lie Tian Heavenly Country’s Golden Pond Temple, he had been ambushed by the Blood Hunting King, an assassin from the Blood Killing Sect who specialized in targeting princes.

However, the Blood Hunting King was not very bright, and Ye Xuan tricked him round and round until ultimately, he died by Ye Xuan’s hand.

At this moment, as soon as Ye Xuan spoke, the previously relaxed atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Still, no one appeared.

"You don’t wish to show yourself?" Ye Xuan said with a slight smile, slowly extending his right hand from his pocket, a green light shining from the ink jade ring on his thumb.

Ye Xuan suddenly clenched his right hand.

Boom!

In an instant, the green light spread outward aggressively in all directions.

Above the sky, the thousands of miles of white clouds were instantly scattered.

Three hundred miles ahead of the Flood Dragon Imperial Chariot, where the clouds had been dense, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared at that moment.

This middle-aged man wore a white tight-fitting robe and had a face full of scarred lines, looking extremely ferocious. His eyes were devoid of any emotion.

The man’s gaze was fixed on Ye Xuan, seemingly puzzled as his aura was completely nonexistent.

But somehow, he was detected by the other party, which was very unusual.

As a top assassin of the Blood Killing Sect, he had undergone tens of thousands of hunts.

There were also quite a number of failures.

It was those failures that had enriched his experience, allowing him to advance step by step from the Yellow Level to the Heavenly Level assassins.

In the Blood Killing Sect, assassins were ranked: Heavenly, Earthly, Mysterious, Yellow.

And his code name was Heavenly Forty-Nine.

Among Heavenly Level assassins, he was ranked forty-ninth.

Brutally straightforward.

And each Heavenly Level assassin’s lowest realm was the Saint Realm...

Even though the information he received showed that Ye Xuan was only of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, his strength could be close to the Saint Realm, he didn’t take it too seriously.

Not to mention close to the Saint Realm.

Even true Saint Realm experts had fallen to his hands.

Typically, Heavenly-class assassins were employed to kill Saint Realm powerhouses.

Otherwise, the Blood Killing Sect wouldn’t have established rankings for assassins.

But this time, the employer had specifically requested a Heavenly-class assassin to ensure he was killed.

So, although he was somewhat displeased, he still accepted the order to intercept Ye Xuan here.

It was said.

This fellow was also the lifesaver of Mo Yunchui...

It would be quite fun to kill him.

Heavenly Forty-Nine mused with a silent laugh.

Right now, the fact that he had been detected was a bit of a surprise to him.

"I’m a bit curious, how did you detect me?" Heavenly Forty-Nine didn’t rush to attack, instead he asked slowly.

"How bold, do you know who is present with us here? He is the son of the Ye Family from the Eternal Mountain, if you dare to touch him, our Ye Family will surely sweep through your Blood Killing Sect one day!"

Ye Dong glared at Heavenly Forty-Nine, speaking sternly.

Facing this Heavenly-level assassin from the Blood Killing Sect, Ye Dong felt endless pressure. He was compelled, out of desperation, to invoke the Ye Family name, hoping the assassin would show some fear.

Heavenly Forty-Nine, however, did not heed Ye Dong, continuing to wait for Ye Xuan’s explanation.

Ye Xuan’s right hand returned to his pocket, he looked indifferently at the middle-aged man across from him, and said calmly, "Your crude concealment technique, being detected shouldn’t be surprising, should it?"

Although he was in the state of "Sleeping Spring and Autumn", that did not mean he was unaware of his surroundings.

On the contrary, his perception was even more terrifying in this state.

He didn’t even need to deliberately seek it out to see everything clearly.

Besides...

Who was he, Ye Xuan?

The Undying Night Emperor!

Once hidden in the darkness of eternity, when it came to concealment techniques, few dared to challenge him.

To a mere Heavenly-class assassin, what significance did he hold?

"Not saying, are you? Then forget it." Heavenly Forty-Nine showed little surprise at Ye Xuan’s answer.

If it held no value.

Then just kill him.

Whiz!

Heavenly Forty-Nine transformed into a white rainbow, arriving in an instant.

Ye Dong and the others could not even react in time before Heavenly Forty-Nine was already invading Ye Xuan’s space, his long sword drawn from his waist, seeming like it would decapitate Ye Xuan in the next moment!
