Chapter 719: Chapter 718 East Desolate Turmoil

——————

After the incident at Hengduan Mountain ended, East Desolate would bustle for a while, a tradition that had always been the case.

However, this time, the aftermath of Hengduan Mountain was even more lively than usual.

Because this time, many people died.

And most surprisingly, the majority of the deceased came from the Five Dominators of East Desolation and the Divine Dragon Azure Sea, which had been beyond anyone’s expectations before.

Whether it was the battle within Hengduan Mountain or the one outside, both were enough to create an uproar across East Desolate!

The name Ye Xuan swept across the entire East Desolate.

The major powers of East Desolate, in their conversations, mentioned the name Ye Xuan more than any other.

This young man, who emerged from the Southern Domain, was intent on sweeping through East Desolate and standing at its pinnacle.

Within the six major powers of the Five Dominators and Divine Dragon Azure Sea, the six Elders who had appeared previously had all seen drastic drops in their cultivation levels.

The upper echelons of the six major powers were furiously frustrated.

Such great losses could already be described as a devastating blow to them.

What was more important was that their dignity was utterly shattered!

For them, who were the Overlords of East Desolate, this was the most unacceptable outcome.

In an immediate response, the six major powers sent higher-ups to meet and hold discussions.

Aside from Ye Xuan, they also discussed that final slash.

No one knew where that slash had come from.

But at this critical juncture, another voice arose in East Desolate, one that was as loud as the discussions concerning Hengduan Mountain.

This voice was that both the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven had been wiped out.

And it was by the same method, vanquished by a single slash.

Along with it, all their disciples had perished.

Some cultivators even found the strongest ancestors of the Qianyuan Cave Heaven and Fierce Battle Sect in the West Coast Sea, namely Daoist Qianyuan and Elder Lion Heaven.

Both of these individuals were similarly cleaved in two by a single blow.

The moment they received this news, the people from the Five Dominators and Divine Dragon Azure Sea were somewhat shocked.

They almost subconsciously connected this news to the events that had transpired outside Hengduan Mountain.

The Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven, weren’t they the enemies of the Emperor Immortal Sect?

And it seemed this incident occurred at the same time as the battle outside Hengduan Mountain.

It was at that moment when the skies had been torn asunder.

It was also at that time that the Dharma Forms of the six ancestors from their respective powers had been severed with a single slash.

Could there be some connection between these events?

"There must be a mysterious and powerful backer behind this Ye Xuan!" declared an Elder from the Long Family emphatically.

"Indeed, it cannot be mere coincidence; this guy is definitely not simple!" an Elder from the Medicine Pavilion added.

"Let’s not talk about Ye Xuan for the moment. What’s essential is to figure out the identity of the one who dealt that slash."

"Yes, only by clarifying the origin of this individual can we decode all of this."

"..."

Ultimately, in a unanimous decision by the six major powers, they issued orders to mobilize all resources to investigate the origins of the one who wielded the slash.

But then.

As one wave settled, another arose.

An even more terrifying event occurred.

The Blood Killing Sect, with a long heritage and the largest assassin organization in East Desolate for ages, was wiped out overnight.

Not a single assassin at the headquarters of Blood Killing Sect remained.

All were cleaved by a single slash.

The manner was exactly the same as with the Fierce Battle Sect and Qianyuan Cave Heaven!

When this news spread, it shocked the entirety of East Desolate.

When speaking of the Blood Killing Sect, who didn’t know that it was the largest assassin organization in East Desolate, possessing the most powerful killers?

No one knew where the headquarters of the Blood Killing Sect was, only that they had strongholds scattered across various regions.

Yet, such an omnipresent ancient power was eradicated overnight.

Too much had happened in just two short days.

It even made many powers feel vulnerable, fearing a similar tragedy might befall them.

Even the Five Dominators of East Desolation and the Divine Dragon Azure Sea were panicked and eventually decided to recall all those who had been sent to investigate the perpetrators, opting to temporarily hole up.

The unknown is often the most terrifying.

They didn’t even know who the assailant was, but the strength displayed by the adversary was truly shocking.

Who would dare provoke such a being?

Even the thought of seeking revenge on Ye Xuan was suppressed at that moment.

And Ye Xuan didn’t care about any of these developments.

Accompanied by Youwei, Huang Yue, along with Song Qilin and Tian Lu, he was heading for the Sword Tomb.

The Sword Tomb was located to the north of the East Desolate, and the journey was long, so the group didn’t hurry, walking leisurely and stopping to view the scenery of the East Desolate.

On the third day, Qiao Xinyu appeared before Ye Xuan again, reporting that the Blood Killing Sect had been cleaned up.

Ye Xuan asked her to follow by his side.

The group then gained another member.

Huang Yue and Song Qilin intended to greet Qiao Xinyu, but unfortunately, she couldn’t be bothered with them.

On the seventh day of their travel, Ye Xuan stopped again.

Someone was waiting for him.

Meng Chan.

"Ye Xuan, you’ve made quite a splash," she said.

"Lately, all the news is about you."

This was what she said upon seeing Ye Xuan again.

Ye Xuan gave Meng Chan a glance and spoke slowly, "What brings you here?"

"I sensed your arrival from far away, what, not going to visit the Meng Family?" said Meng Chan with a smile.

Ye Xuan glanced at the Great Formation not far away and shook his head, "No need, but the people from the Giant Spirit Valley should have arrived at the Meng Family’s place in advance, right?"

Meng Chan nodded slightly, "Indeed, they did. But how are you involved with the Giant Spirit Valley?"

Ye Xuan smiled faintly, "It’s a secret."

"If you want to keep it to yourself, fine," Meng Chan huffed, turning her sweet smile to Zhou Youwei, "You must be Sister Youwei. I’ve heard Ye Xuan mention you often back at the Mo family."

Zhou Youwei gave Ye Xuan an odd look, seemingly puzzled as to how Ye Xuan knew so many peculiar people.

"Don’t misunderstand, Sister Youwei, my relationship with Ye Xuan is purely that of honorable friends," Meng Chan said.

These words caused Zhou Youwei to burst into laughter.

No wonder Zhou Youwei laughed; Meng Chan seemed to be only seven or eight years old.

"Meng Chan is joking," Zhou Youwei said with a smile, her eyes curving, looking quite charming.

Meng Chan chuckled and sneakily glared at Ye Xuan.

But soon, she felt a different kind of gaze.

That look carried a faint hint of murderous intent, sending a chill through her heart.

She turned her gaze towards the area behind Ye Xuan.

There, besides Huang Yue and Song Qilin, stood a mysterious woman in a black robe with a black hood, carrying a black sabre on her back.

In that instant, Meng Chan felt her scalp tingle.

Revenge Lineage!

Black Blade Sect!

Why...

Why are they here?!

Meng Chan’s complexion turned somewhat pale.

Qiao Xinyu glanced at Meng Chan and withdrew her gaze. This person had been disrespectful to Emperor Ye, a crime punishable by death, but seeing that Emperor Ye appeared to be familiar with her, Qiao Xinyu found no reason to strike.

Looking a bit stiff, Meng Chan turned to Ye Xuan with a forced smile, "Ye Xuan, you..."

Although she had known about Ye Xuan’s connection with the Revenge Lineage, she never expected Ye Xuan to be a part of them!

"You’d better hurry back to your Cultivation," Ye Xuan interrupted Meng Chan, "I’m heading to the Sword Tomb now."
