"This..." Ye Xingchen was slightly taken aback, and he felt a little sorry for Zhang Shihao.
He only knew about Zhang Shih-hao's background, but he didn't really understand it. Judging from his appearance, there must have been many twists and turns in his life, and the degree of hardship was probably no less than his own.
"Don't worry, after I finish dealing with my own business, I'll go to the Xuan Yi Sect again, and I'll take care of your problem then," Ye Xingchen said, patting his shoulder to comfort him.
Zhang Shih-hao didn't speak, he just nodded slowly: "Go ahead, leave this to me. But things here are all strange, I'll figure out the situation first."
"Okay." Ye Xingchen nodded and left. By this time, it was completely dark.
They arrived in a police car, but now Bai Zilin has disappeared, so Ye Xingchen had no choice but to go back by himself.
It was impossible to hail a taxi in this desolate area, but fortunately, he was agile enough that the journey of several dozen kilometers was no problem. Once he reached a populated area in the suburbs, he was able to take a taxi back directly.
After crossing an overpass and passing through a grove of trees, Ye Xingchen slowly turned around.
An old man followed him unhurriedly.
The old man, dressed in a long blue robe and with white hair, resembled a reclusive sage.
Moreover, judging from the fact that he didn't reveal any precious light and his calm and composed demeanor, he had clearly already reached the Great Perfection of the Celestial Phenomenon realm.
"Entering the Realm of Tranquility?" Ye Xingchen turned around and said with a smile, "Then you must be a master from the Xuan Yang Sect?"
The second level of the Celestial Realm is the Profound Mind Realm. Those who reach this level possess unfathomable strength.
Moreover, most of these masters live in seclusion, cultivating themselves to achieve sainthood, and very few of them come down from the mountain to visit others.
But the old man in front of him was so leisurely walking down the mountain, and he was following closely behind him, so he must be a member of the Xuan Yang Sect.
"Hehe, not bad, not bad." The old man nodded slowly and said, "You were able to guess my background at a glance, young man, you are indeed extraordinary."
"It's not that I'm not simple, it's just that you were too obvious in following me. If I'm not mistaken, you've been following me for a long time, and you deliberately let me find out." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "May I ask how I should address you, sir?"
"Xuan Yang Sect, Gao Tairan," the old man said, his hands behind his back and his head held high.
"So it's Senior Gao, one of the four elders of the Xuan Yang Sect." Ye Xingchen nodded slowly: "The four elders of the Xuan Yang Sect are all at least at the second level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm."
"The fact that the Xuan Yang Sect sent a senior like Gao to deal with an unknown nobody like me shows that they also attach great importance to me."
"Your background has long been on the Xuan Yang Sect's desk," Gao Tairan said with his hands behind his back. "Do you know what kind of place the Chen family is?"
"I know." Ye Xingchen nodded: "The Chen family is the representative of the Xuan Yang Sect in the secular world, and the old patriarch of the Chen family joined the Xuan Yang Sect fifty years ago. He should be one of the four elders of the Xuan Yang Sect now."
“Since you know this, why do you keep causing trouble for the Chen family? This will disrupt the order of our Xuan Yang Sect in the secular world. You deserve to be executed,” Gao Tairan said coldly.
"Then let me ask you, what would you do if your father were framed and killed?" Ye Xingchen asked with a smile.
"Of course, it's to kill them and get revenge," Gao Tairan said calmly.
"Yes, kill the other party, take revenge. What I'm doing now is taking revenge. Is there a problem with that?" Ye Xingchen spread his hands.
“In principle, there is no problem.” Gao Tairan stared at Ye Xingchen and said, “But unfortunately, your enemy is from the Xuan Yang Sect, so even if you have a grudge, you can only endure it.”
"Unfortunately, I don't intend to endure this any longer," Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "However, Senior Gao, now that you've come out of seclusion, you must bring something back with you, right?"
“I’m in seclusion cultivating. Every day I delay, my chances of becoming a saint diminish. Do you think I’ll leave empty-handed?” Gao Tairan smiled slightly. “Therefore, today I will take your head.”
"Of course not." Ye Xingchen nodded slowly and said, "So, are you planning to just take care of me on the spot?"
“This is the quickest and easiest way.” Gao Tairan nodded slightly and said, “So are you ready? Due to my status, I can give you a few moves today.”
"This is a small matter, no need for preparation, really." Ye Xingchen shook his head: "If Senior Gao feels the time is right, then let's make our move."
"Hehe, kid, I know you. You've reached the Celestial Immortal realm at such a young age. You certainly have the right to be proud." Gao Tairan laughed heartily. "But unfortunately, between the four realms of Celestial Phenomena, even a slight difference can make all the difference."
"Your current strength is at the Formless Dust Realm, right?"
“That’s right, I’m in the Formless Dust Realm, one realm lower than you. Enough with the nonsense, shall we begin?” Ye Xingchen smiled slightly as he played with the sword pellet in his hand. “If you’ve finished talking nonsense, then let’s begin. The sooner we finish, the sooner I can go back and rest.”
"Heh, do you think you can go back today?" Gao Tairan's tone changed, and his words were filled with a chilling killing intent: "A mere brat actually managed to get the elders of the Xuan Yang Sect to come out and delay my breakthrough to sainthood. He deserves to be executed."
As he finished speaking, he pointed his right hand into the air, and a condensed white sword light suddenly formed.
With a soft hissing sound, the white sword light came to a standstill.
"Boundless profound light, arise."
Gao Tairan roared, and the white sword light that was frozen in mid-air suddenly split into ten, then slowly wandered in the void. In an instant, the area within a hundred feet was enveloped by the sword light.
"Mysterious Light Sword Formation." Ye Xingchen looked up at the sword light slowly moving in the night sky and nodded slowly: "A killing move right from the start, it seems you really want to kill me quickly."
"Not bad, you actually recognize the Xuan Guang Sword Formation, you're knowledgeable. But do you think you can fight against our vast Xuan Yang Sect all by yourself?" Gao Tairan sneered, "Dream on, break."
With a flick of his right hand, the slowly moving sword formation suddenly accelerated with a whoosh.
Countless condensed white sword energies swept around Ye Xingchen like a storm, sealing off all his escape routes.
Ye Xingchen gestured with his right hand, and the Crimson Sky sword spun rapidly in his hand, then burst forth with a three-foot-long sword light. With a flick of his wrist, he plunged into the sword formation.
With a single sword strike, the Crimson Sky Sword Light extended, and the sword lights of both sides converged and intertwined, marking the full commencement of the battle.
"Huh, is this the Sword Pill Crimson Sky?" Gao Tairan's eyes lit up immediately: "The legendary Sword Pill is shaped like a copper ball, containing sword intent. It uses intent as a sword and shape as a ball. It can be wrapped around the finger and made flexible, or it can turn sword into silk."
“Not bad, you have insight,” Ye Xingchen replied.
“This sword pellet is no ordinary sword pellet. It was made by a master who used the method of divine light penetrating the top of the head to infuse it with all his life's learning.” Gao Tairan said with a strange expression, “Your previous records showed you to be just an ordinary person.”
