Chapter 646: Chapter 645 One Word Worth Nine Tripods

"Please, Young Master Ye, save my master—he’s about to be beaten to death," Li Zhan said in despair.

"An old swindler and a young swindler—today, no one will escape!"

The person who had just made a move was already striding toward Li Zhan, his expression cold and filled with a hint of murderous intent.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait," Zhou Youwei spoke softly.

The cultivator originally wanted Zhou Youwei to mind her own business, but upon seeing her beautiful appearance, he instantly stopped and tried to be more gentlemanly, cupping his hands together and saying, "Fairy, this man and his master have together cheated us out of our Spirit Stones. Do not be deceived by his appearance."

Zhou Youwei looked at Li Zhan.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhan, with eyes red, said, "He’s lying. The Tianji Spiritual Liquid sold by my master was genuine. They replaced it with ordinary mountain spring water to cause us trouble, accusing us of selling fakes and demanding the return of the Spirit Stones."

"When we refused, they forcefully took action and injured my master. I had no choice but to give them the Spirit Stones, and yet, they still weren’t willing to let us go and wanted to beat my master to death!"

Li Zhan clenched his teeth, his heart filled with hatred.

"Where is your father?" Ye Xuan asked calmly.

"Replying to Young Master Ye, my father is still in the Southern Domain. He thought I lacked ambition there, so he sent me to the East Desolate to join the Tianji Sect. This time, I accompanied my master on a trip to the Hengduan Mountains," Li Zhan quickly explained.

"Oh," Ye Xuan nodded slightly.

"Can Young Master Ye save me?" Li Zhan asked, his face full of hope.

Ye Xuan looked up at the cultivator not far away and said indifferently, "Naturally."

He had once told Li Yuanzhou, if ever there was a problem, he could come to him.

Even though Li Yuanzhou was not here now, given that Li Zhan was his son and in trouble, it was only natural for him to help.

Emperor Ye’s word was like gold!

"Friend, are you planning to interfere in the matters of the Xingyun Sect?" Ye Xuan’s words immediately made the opposing cultivator’s face darken.

"Youwei," Ye Xuan said softly.

Zhou Youwei’s beautiful eyes narrowed, and she struck suddenly.

Boom, boom, boom—

The four cultivators who had been attacking Li Zhan’s master were instantly blasted away, and Li Zhan’s master was brought over by Zhou Youwei.

"You!" The cultivator’s face changed instantly upon seeing this.

He hadn’t expected Zhou Youwei to be so formidable!

Initially planning to talk tough, upon facing Zhou Youwei’s cold gaze, he simply shut his mouth and could only help his companions leave.

"You’ll wait and see!" He threw down these words before making his escape.

The onlookers exchanged glances.

They had been expecting a grand display, but unfortunately, it had ended too soon.

However, some insiders laughed, "Daring to meddle in the affairs of the Xingyun Sect—they really don’t know whether they’re alive or dead."

"Who doesn’t know that the Xingyun Sect has good relations with the Senluo Sect, and the Tianji Sect has enmity with the Senluo Sect? Today’s event was premeditated; these folks are in big trouble."

"These two are also quite pitiful. Even after the dissolution of the Tianji Sect, they are still targeted."

"Clearly, the Senluo Sect wants to completely eradicate the Tianji Sect, even to the point of pursuing them to the Hengduan Mountains."

"......"

The insiders did not hold back, talking openly, and when they looked at Ye Xuan and his group, they wore schadenfreude expressions.

"Brothers, you’re going to be in big trouble, would you like this young master to protect you?"

A young man with a smirk on his face stepped out from the crowd, his demeanor somewhat frivolous. Although he seemed to be speaking to Ye Xuan, his eyes kept darting towards Zhou Youwei and Zhou Bingyi.

"It’s the Saint Heir of the Senluo Sect..."

Seeing this person, those who had been discussing the matter suddenly turned pale and fell silent.

Today’s incident was indeed a plot!

The Saint Heir of the Senluo Sect had been watching the whole time!

Zhou Youwei and Ye Xuan heard everything around them clearly.

Having understood the situation, Zhou Youwei’s face was full of frost.

These people were utterly despicable!

"What are you?" Ye Xuan squinted at the Saint Heir of the Senluo Sect and asked calmly.

Many in the crowd had strange expressions upon hearing this.

Asking who the Saint Heir of the Senluo Sect was?

Wasn’t this courting death?

Although the Senluo Sect wasn’t a top-tier sect, it was a well-known second-tier sect in the East Desolation Domain, with many skilled cultivators under its name.

Most importantly, the Senluo Sect was backed by a top-tier major force—the Nine Dragons Valley Heavenly Martial Divine Sect!

So ordinary people, simply don’t dare to provoke the people of the Senluo Sect.

"You ask what kind of thing this young master is? Hehehe." The Saint Heir of Senluo burst into laughter, and after he was done, he said, "I shall tell you, just don’t be too frightened, I am the Senluo Saint Heir!"

"What is that stuff? Something like Zhao Yulong?" Ye Xuan spoke indifferently.

The face of the Saint Heir of Senluo immediately turned cold.

Although he didn’t know who Zhao Yulong was, from Ye Xuan’s tone, he knew that this guy was definitely mocking him.

The Senluo Saint Heir snorted coldly and said indifferently, "To tell you the truth, the actions of the Xingyun Sect were indeed arranged by me. The two people you protected are on my Senluo Sect’s must-kill list. Today, you have offended both the Xingyun Sect and my Senluo Sect. If you do not wish to die, obediently hand over those two ladies by your side, and this young master might consider sparing you."

At this statement, many female cultivators around showed a look of disgust.

This Senluo Saint Heir, on the territory of the Senluo Sect, was notoriously lascivious, often harassing women.

Right now, it was clear that he was taking advantage of the issue with Li Zhan’s disciples to find trouble with Zhou Youwei and Zhou Bingyi.

However, when the Senluo Saint Heir spoke these words,

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

In an instant, within a thousand miles around, a terrifying intent to kill materialized out of thin air.

In that moment, all the cultivators within a thousand miles shivered.

The Saint Heir of Senluo turned pale; he didn’t know what had happened.

Yet Zhu Xiaofei and others showed sympathy.

This Senluo Saint Heir truly did not know whether to live or die, even daring to covet his senior sister.

"Death was supposed to be a very distant thing, but some always seek a shortcut." Lv Xiuli couldn’t help muttering.

Tan Qingshan and others deeply agreed.

Hisssssss—

A series of Sword Qi appeared out of thin air.

Striking in an instant.

The Saint Heir of Senluo hadn’t even reacted, and he was directly chopped into countless pieces.

Dead on the spot.

His soul was even ground into nothingness.

"Ah————"

Unworldly cultivators who saw this scene screamed in fright, their faces pale, turning around to vomit.

Guts spilled everywhere.

The previously clamoring Saint Heir of Senluo died on the spot.

Directly stunned everyone present.

What was going on?

Who had just made a move?

No one saw how Ye Xuan had done it.

Even Li Zhan, right in front of Ye Xuan, was completely baffled.

However, upon seeing the Saint Heir of Senluo dead, he showed a look of pleasure.

Just now, the Saint Heir of Senluo had let slip the entire backstory.

The reason he and his master faced today’s calamity was entirely due to the Saint Heir of Senluo’s scheming from behind.

This Saint Heir of Senluo clearly intended to toy with them as if they were mice.

Now that he was dead, Li Zhan couldn’t express how happy he was.

But at the same time, Li Zhan was also shocked by the strength of Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei.

In just half a year’s absence, had Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei become so powerful?

Even someone of the Saint Heir of Senluo’s caliber was no match?

"This is bad!"

Immediately, Li Zhan’s expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Young Master Ye, we must hurry; the people from Xingyun Sect and Senluo Sect will surely come soon, and then we won’t be able to leave!"

"Why should we leave?" Ye Xuan’s expression was cold as he spoke indifferently, "Since I said I would help you, I will naturally settle everything before leaving."

"You go take care of your own and your master’s injuries first."

Upon hearing this, though Li Zhan was anxious inside, seeing Ye Xuan’s composure, he was influenced and said no more.

Perhaps, Young Master Ye had some other means still.

Meanwhile, the news of the Saint Heir of Senluo being killed in the streets quickly reached the ears of the experts of the Senluo Sect, immediately enraging them.

On the other side, several disciples of the Xingyun Sect also called upon the experts of the Xingyun Sect, heading with great momentum towards where Ye Xuan and others were.
