Chapter 627 - 626 True Person of the Red Lotus

Chapter 627: Chapter 626 True Person of the Red Lotus

An Xueyao narrowed her eyes, thinking that this plan was feasible. Additionally, she had received some other news over the past two days.

The Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, Medicine Pavilion, and Long Family had hired assassins from the Blood Killing Sect to kill Ye Xuan.

"Having offended the Medicine Pavilion, and now with the Long Family and Heavenly Dragon Dynasty..."

"And now there’s an additional Six Demon Sect."

"That Hengduan Mountain will be the place where this person is laid to rest!"

An Xueyao snorted coldly.

Truth be told, she couldn’t comprehend to this day how Ye Xuan could act so recklessly, completely disregarding others.

Is being one of the East Desolate Ten Dominators that simple?

"Brother Ye, you’re too amazing!"

Lei Mingze had wanted to give Ye Xuan a thumbs up, but with his hands broken and unable to exert any strength, he could only offer verbal praise.

Ye Xuan smiled indifferently, thinking nothing of it.

It was just a lesson for that guy, to prevent him from being ignorant of the vastness of the heavens and the earth.

What he hated most in this life were others threatening him.

And as it happened, Mu Yiyang had walked into the line of fire.

Ye Qingyue looked at Ye Xuan with a somewhat complex expression, not knowing what to say.

This incident was also due to her involvement that had led to its escalation.

Ye Qingyue felt she owed Ye Xuan a great deal.

"Mengyue, Red Deer, you two take Brother to heal, I’ll stay with Ye Xuan," Ye Qingyue said.

"Alright," Ruan Mengyue and Leng Hongmi agreed.

"No, I still want to drink a couple with Brother Ye," Lei Mingze protested.

"Drink what, with both of your hands broken?" Ye Qingyue gave him a look.

Lei Mingze said nonchalantly, "Even without hands, I can use my True Qi outwardly, won’t affect anything."

Ye Qingyue said sternly, "Aren’t you listening to me anymore?"

Seeing her reaction, Lei Mingze sheepishly smiled and said, "Don’t be mad, Qingyue, I’m going to heal right away."

Having said that, Lei Mingze looked towards Ye Xuan and said, "Brother Ye, please bear with me, we’ll drink together another time."

Ye Xuan cracked a slight smile.

He quite liked this Lei Mingze.

"Then we’re off," Ruan Mengyue and Leng Hongmi said.

"Go on," Ye Qingyue waved.

After watching the three leave, Ye Qingyue pursed her lips and said softly, "I’m sorry for causing you more trouble."

Ye Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Since you know you’ve caused me trouble, you’d better take to heart what I said earlier."

"Although I don’t care about such trivial troubles, if you don’t do well in the future, I will still come to you for trouble."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingyue turned her head to look at Ye Xuan, examining the youth carefully, and said, "You are very different."

"Why do you know so much?" Ye Qingyue expressed the doubts in her heart.

"Because I am Ye Xuan." Ye Xuan said earnestly.

Ye Qingyue wasn’t surprised by Ye Xuan’s answer; she didn’t think that asking Ye Xuan would yield any revelations.

"Sigh..."

Suddenly, Ye Qingyue sighed, feeling dejected, and said, "To be honest, even after receiving the legacy of the ancestor, I’m not sure if I can truly carry forward the Red Sparrow Institute."

After she received the ancestor’s legacy, too many eyes were fixated on her.

The Master, elders, and many seniors were all looking forward to her future.

This invisible pressure added to her burden considerably.

Sometimes this pressure even made her feel as if she couldn’t breathe.

Ye Xuan patted Ye Qingyue’s fragrant shoulders and said soothingly, "You can underestimate anyone, but never underestimate yourself."

Ye Qingyue lifted her head to look at the young man beside her, feeling that he was very peculiar.

Yet, these words seemed to possess a magical power, and incredibly, they made her downtrodden heart beat intensely once again.

You can underestimate anyone, but never underestimate yourself!

"I understand now!" Ye Qingyue nodded firmly.

"Alright, I should be going," Ye Xuan withdrew his right hand and started to walk back.

"Hm?" Ye Qingyue, puzzled, asked subconsciously, "Where are you going?"

"I assume your Master has agreed to my challenge by now," Ye Xuan replied without turning back.

Only then did Ye Qingyue notice that Qu Zhongyuan was not far behind, waiting.

Qu Zhongyuan nodded at Ye Qingyue.

Ye Qingyue saluted and said, "Greetings to Elder Qu."

Qu Zhongyuan said softly, "Focus on your cultivation; don’t worry about the Six Demon Sect matter."

"Yes, Elder," Ye Qingyue replied respectfully.

Qu Zhongyuan gave a slight nod, then turned to Ye Xuan with a clasped hand and said, "Young Master Ye, please follow me."

Qu Zhongyuan led the way at the front, with Ye Xuan following behind, heading deep into the Red Sparrow Institute.

"Young Master Ye, you really are incredible, the Sovereign of the Sect actually agreed," Qu Zhongyuan said with a chuckle.

Ye Xuan was not surprised at all and calmly replied, "It must have had a lot to do with your eloquent persuasion..."

Qu Zhongyuan let out a dry laugh and said, "But the key still lies in Young Master Ye’s boundless talent."

Ye Xuan did not speak.

Before long, the two of them made their way deeper and arrived in front of a large hall that was a deep crimson color.

In front of this grand hall was a dojo, called the Vermilion Bird Dojo, decorated with patterns of the vermilion bird that seemed to have been there for many years.

Vermilion Bird Dojo, Red Sparrow Hall.

This was the highest-ranking hall within the Red Sparrow Institute.

Usually, only when there were important matters would a meeting be held in the Red Sparrow Hall.

The fact that the Sovereign of the Sect was willing to meet Ye Xuan here showed the extent of the attention paid to him.

"Reporting to the Sovereign of the Sect, Young Master Ye has arrived."

Qu Zhongyuan straightened his robes and called out with respect.

"Enter."

From within the Red Sparrow Hall, an ethereal female voice came, carrying a sense of authority.

"Young Master Ye, please." Qu Zhongyuan gestured to Ye Xuan, indicating for him to go ahead.

Ye Xuan was not one to be intimidated. He stepped over the threshold of the grand hall.

However, as soon as he crossed the threshold, he felt an extremely terrifying oppressive force explode forth, making it difficult to bear.

Ye Xuan appeared unaffected, taking a step forward. His back foot followed suit, and he calmly stepped into the grand hall.

Seeing that scene, Qu Zhongyuan grew even more admiring in his heart.

Inside the Red Sparrow Hall, there was an innate oppressive force that was tremendously terrifying.

In fact, the presence of this oppressive force prevented cultivators below the Saint Realm from entering the hall.

The decision of the Sovereign of the Sect to meet Ye Xuan here was not only in recognition of him but also as a test of Ye Xuan’s strength.

If one couldn’t even enter the Red Sparrow Hall, then they were naturally not worth meeting with.

Seeing Ye Xuan walk into the Red Sparrow Hall unscathed, Qu Zhongyuan did not dawdle and followed him into the hall.

Upon entering the grand hall, it was as if they had stepped into another world.

In this world, there was an endless sea of crimson maple leaves.

Several tall platforms were suspended in mid-air.

Clearly, these were the positions for the Elders of the Red Sparrow Institute.

The platforms were arranged in two rows, leading progressively deeper into the hall.

At the very end was a large red lotus platform.

At the moment, all around that red lotus platform, there were streams of red mysterious light rising like Immortal Qi.

In the center of the lotus platform sat a woman in a simple red robe, her aura dignified, exuding a transcendental presence.

"Paying respects to the Supreme Sect Leader."

Qu Zhongyuan bowed with great respect.

The woman in the red robe was none other than the current Supreme Sect Leader of the Red Sparrow Institute––Red Lotus True Person, who was also the master of the Red Sparrow Saintess, Ye Qingyue.

Ye Xuan assessed Red Lotus True Person and made no move to bow.

Red Lotus True Person also slowly opened her eyes at this moment. Her pupils were red, appearing somewhat demonic, and she likewise assessed Ye Xuan.

Gently waving her sleeve, Red Lotus True Person watched as Qu Zhongyuan stepped aside, eyes downcast in focus.

"Did you truly wish to challenge me?" Red Lotus True Person finally spoke, her voice melodious and pleasing to the ear.

Ye Xuan smiled faintly and replied unhurriedly, "Actually, I’d prefer to challenge your old ancestors, preferably the strongest and oldest among them."

Upon hearing this, Qu Zhongyuan, who stood to the side, stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Challenge the old ancestors?!

What in the world was he thinking?

It had taken Qu Zhongyuan no small amount of effort to persuade the Sovereign of the Sect to accept Ye Xuan’s challenge to her.

Now, upon his arrival, Ye Xuan was talking about challenging the old ancestors?

This wasn’t a regular visit to pay respects. Was he intentionally causing trouble?

Only Ye Xuan could make such a claim. If it had been anyone else, Qu Zhongyuan would have kicked them out long ago.

"May I know your reasons?" asked Red Lotus True Person calmly.

"I cannot reveal them for the time being," Ye Xuan said, shaking his head slightly.

Red Lotus True Person expressed a hint of regret, "Then, I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do."

"What if I defeat you?" Ye Xuan asked.

Red Lotus True Person replied calmly, "Well, that would indeed be possible."
