Chapter 852: Chapter 849 The Secret of the Dragon Burying Court

Chapter 849

"The Sovereign of the Sect is waiting for you in the rear hall," Ye Mu quietly transmitted to Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan nodded slightly and said to Zhou Youwei, "Youwei, wait here for me. Don’t worry about what they say, just listen."

Zhou Youwei nodded lightly, "Alright."

"Rest assured, I’ll accompany Youwei here," Lu Li said proactively.

Zhou Youwei smiled slightly.

Ye Xuan greeted everyone and then took the initiative to leave the Star Temple, heading towards the rear hall.

He proceeded directly, unimpeded.

Upon entering the rear hall.

"You’re here." A deep voice slowly sounded.

In the rear hall, a tall figure in a black robe stood there, hands behind his back, facing away from Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan casually pulled over a chair and sat down, speaking softly, "Go ahead."

The man in the black robe slowly turned around, revealing a middle-aged man with a square face that gave an impression of authority.

He looked at Ye Xuan and smiled slightly, saying, "I am the Sovereign of the Dragon Burying Court’s current generation, Yu Hongxiao."

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "Get to the point."

Yu Hongxiao restrained his smile and calmly said, "I would like to ask Young Master Ye to help my Dragon Burying Court destroy a sect."

Ye Xuan’s lips curled slightly, a hint of mockery appearing in his eyes, "Reason?"

Yu Hongxiao said, "I know Young Master Ye has a deep connection with the Revenge Lineage. If the Revenge Lineage acts, it will surely be destroyed. If Young Master Ye agrees, I would allow you to bring three more people to explore the Emperor’s opportunity."

Ye Xuan snickered, not speaking.

Yu Hongxiao continued, "The Emperor’s opportunity may not be terribly important for someone like Young Master Ye, but I imagine others around you might need it."

"Such an opportunity is very rare, and I hope Young Master Ye will consider carefully."

Ye Xuan looked at Yu Hongxiao, playfully saying, "You want to destroy the Ancient Rakshasa Sect?"

Yu Hongxiao nodded, "Indeed."

Ye Xuan shook his head, "Forget it, I won’t act."

Without waiting for Yu Hongxiao to ask why, Ye Xuan continued, "Although I have high hopes for that little girl Lu Li, some grudges are best settled themselves."

Yu Hongxiao’s pupil shrank, speaking softly, "Does Young Master Ye know the facts behind this?"

Ye Xuan glanced at Yu Hongxiao and said lightly, "You almost didn’t say that Lu Li is actually someone you brought from the Ancient Rakshasa Sect. Why hide her identity yet let her use the Rashamon Halberd?"

Yu Hongxiao was stunned by the comment and then chuckled bitterly, "Forgot about this detail."

Ye Xuan’s gaze wandered, looking into a dark corner of the hall, and spoke leisurely, "I don’t want to ask you about your ancestor’s feud with the Ancient Rakshasa Sect; I came to you to borrow an item."

Yu Hongxiao raised his hand in a gesture, saying, "Speak freely, Young Master Ye."

"Luotian Drum." Ye Xuan spoke slowly.

"Luotian Drum!?" Yu Hongxiao was slightly startled.

Ye Xuan flipped his right hand, revealing a slowly emerging Blood Sun, as he looked at Yu Hongxiao, saying, "This is the Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect’s Great Emperor Immortal Soldier Blood Sun. You can keep it here for now. Once I return the Luotian Drum, you give the Blood Sun back to me."

"This matter..." Yu Hongxiao hesitated.

Luotian Drum was the Dragon Burying Court’s Great Emperor Immortal Weapon, passed down through countless generations.

Even though he was the Sovereign of the Dragon Burying Court, the matter was too significant for him to decide alone.

"No hurry, you can think it over slowly." Ye Xuan spoke softly.

In a few days, he would accompany Youwei to Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect for conflict resolution, and the Luotian Drum was necessary.

Although at this point, Ye Xuan was uncertain whether Double Emperors existed within Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect.

If the Luotian Drum were in hand, all those people would die.

Blood Sun, though formidable, wouldn’t suffice against Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect’s might.

The Luotian Drum, however, was different, possessing extraordinary power, forcing Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect’s caution.

Furthermore, once finishing business at Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, he had to visit Double Emperor Mountain.

"Allow me time to ponder this." Yu Hongxiao mused.

"Hmm." Ye Xuan nodded slightly, closing his eyes to wait silently.

He knew Yu Hongxiao needed to consult the Dragon Burying Court’s elders.

Because this matter couldn’t be decided by Yu Hongxiao alone.

Time slowly elapsed.

After a long while, Yu Hongxiao looked at Ye Xuan and asked, "Young Master Ye, are you truly unwilling to intervene in the Ancient Rakshasa Sect affair?"

Ye Xuan didn’t open his eyes, speaking slowly, "If it were just the Ancient Rakshasa Sect, it wouldn’t matter, but are you aware of the connection between the Ancient Rakshasa Sect and the Primordial Hall?"

"Primordial Hall!?" Yu Hongxiao’s expression shifted slightly.

Xuanhuang Great World’s Nine States Continent, when talking about the most ancient authorized powers, Primordial Hall is beyond question!

Its antiquity overshadows even Sword Tomb and Dragon Burying Court.

"What’s the relationship between the Ancient Rakshasa Sect and Primordial Hall?" Yu Hongxiao asked, puzzled.

Ye Xuan opened his eyes and softly said, "The Ancient Ancestor of the Ancient Rakshasa Sect is the biological son of one of Primordial Hall’s Sect Leaders. Now, you should understand."

Yu Hongxiao’s complexion seemed slightly pale, speaking lowly, "The power of the Revenge Lineage won’t fear Primordial Hall, will it?"

Ye Xuan glanced at Yu Hongxiao without speaking.

The Revenge Lineage’s power naturally wouldn’t fear Primordial Hall, but their relationship with Primordial Hall is far from shallow, why would they act?

Besides... Ye Xuan knows the Ancient Ancestor of the Ancient Rakshasa Sect.

From the moment he saw Lu Li appear, Ye Xuan had already unveiled the hidden truth.

However, the Dragon Burying Court thought hiding in East Desolation South Domain meant no threat, which was naive.

Yu Hongxiao gritted his teeth, "Young Master Ye, if you can make the Revenge Lineage act against the Ancient Rakshasa Sect, regarding the Heavenly Drum,... Young Master Ye!"

Ye Xuan didn’t even finish listening to Yu Hongxiao’s words; he stood up and walked out, saying blandly, "A word of advice: don’t attempt to wrestle with Primordial Hall; you’re still too inexperienced."

Ye Xuan walked out of the rear hall.

"Young Master Ye!" Yu Hongxiao chased after, bowing, "Please guide me through the fog."

Ye Xuan halted and said indifferently, "Hurry and send Lu Li back to the Ancient Rakshasa Sect. Do you really think someone like her wouldn’t attract Primordial Hall’s attention?"

Yu Hongxiao’s face turned ashen pale.

At this moment, a burly old man in a black robe appeared before Ye Xuan, slightly cupping his fist as a sign of respect:

"Thank you, Young Master Ye, for your guidance."

Ye Xuan looked at the old man and said, "You’re the one who brought Lu Li to the Dragon Burying Court, right?"

The old man’s eyes were filled with bitterness.

Ye Xuan said, "I don’t want to delve into your history, but your actions might lead this generation of the Dragon Burying Court to complete annihilation; being so old, don’t act impulsively."

The old man nodded, "Understood."

The old man looked at Yu Hongxiao, who was pale-faced, saying solemnly, "Hongxiao, give the Luotian Drum to Young Master Ye."
