Chapter 79: Hand over the Stone
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As soon as Ye Xuan walked out of the gate of Treasure Pavilion, he suddenly turned and walked in the direction of the gate. It was opposite from the direction he had gone back.
He walked all the way to the west and stopped when he reached the outskirts. He slowly said, “The two of you have followed me all the way. I wonder what you want from me.”
Lin Qingxue and Li Zhe could not help but be shocked when they heard this. They walked out slowly and revealed themselves. This person’s aura was only at Human Realm level 2, but he could detect their existence.
Could it be that he was deliberately hiding his strength, or that he had some kind of magic weapon on him that interfered with their judgment?
While the two were sizing up Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan was also sizing them up. “I wonder why you’ve been following me.” Ye Xuan asked.
Lin Qingxue was dressed in white, floating like snow. She was like a lotus in the clear water, a natural carving with a coldness that did not belong to the world. Ye Xuan could not help but be amazed by her name.
At first, Ye Xuan thought he had spent too many spirit stones, so some people coveted his wealth and wanted to rob him. However, these two people had extraordinary bearings and did not seem like robbers.
The woman’s expression was fine, but the man’s eyes were unfriendly. Ye Xuan was a little puzzled. He had just arrived in the capital and had not offended anyone.
“Hand over the stone!”
Ye Xuan did not get it. “What stone? ”
“The black stone you bought from the stall.” Li Zhe said furiously, “It’s the stone you bought from the stall.”
Were they talking about the Penglai Immortal Stone?
Ye Xuan was unmoved. “What are you saying? I don’t understand.”
Even though the stone belonged to them, he had paid for it. Moreover, this stone’s origin was mysterious and might come in handy in the future. How could Ye Xuan give it up so easily?
Li Zhe’s expression changed slightly. “The stall owner told us you bought everything, so the stone must be with you. You’re just trying to deny it!”
“You believe everything that hawker said, but why don’t you believe what I say? You said the stone is with me, so why don’t you show some evidence?”
Li Zhe was rendered speechless by Ye Xuan’s question. He was sure that Ye Xuan had hidden the stone. “I’m not going to talk nonsense with you. Are you going to hand it over or not? If you don’t, then don’t blame us for being impolite.”
Ye Xuan was a person who could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. He sneered. “I’d like to see how impolite you can be.”
After Ye Xuan finished speaking, Li Zhe’s sword shot out like a dragon and stabbed Ye Xuan with lightning speed.
His movements were fast, but in Ye Xuan’s eyes, it was several times slower. He easily dodged the sword.
Seeing his sword had missed, Li Zhe flew up again and slashed down. His attack was like a dragon’s roar. The powerful sword qi seemed to be able to split the air in half. The wind and clouds surged in an instant.
“Boom!”
The giant rock that was half the height of a man shattered, and countless pieces of gravel fell. Ye Xuan seemed to have anticipated Li Zhe’s next step and had already hidden to the side. He looked at Li Zhe with a mocking expression.
Li Zhe flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Do you only know how to dodge?!”
Ye Xuan was not angry. Instead, the sneer on his lips grew bigger and bigger. “If you’re strong, come and slash me.”
Upon hearing this, Li Zhe was immediately furious and became even more ruthless.
Lin Qingxue could not help but try to stop him. “Stop. Let’s talk things out.”
However, Li Zhe ignored her. “If we don’t teach this brat a lesson, he will not put us Misty Illusory Manor in his eyes.”
As the sword trembled violently, the sharp sword qi was unrestrained. Countless sword lights intertwined, forming a large net that covered the sky and earth, wrapping Lin Xuan up.
Li Zhe laughed coldly. “Let’s see where you can hide now.”
Ye Xuan stood at the original spot and looked at the incoming sword net calmly. Li Zhe had sealed off all his escape routes. This time, Ye Xuan had no way to escape. He was swallowed up by the sword net instantly.
Lin Qingxue could not help but worry. “I’m afraid that’s not a good idea, Senior Brother Li. We just want to get the stone back. Why do we have to take people’s lives? ”
Li Zhe’s expression was cold. “This brat did not know his place. He forced me to make a move. He brought this on himself. Even if he dies here, he can’t blame anyone else.”
After Li Zhe finished speaking, a ray of white light shot out from the sword net. The powerful light made Li Zhe raise his hand to block it. The world became white, and he couldn’t help but shout.
“What is going on?”
More white light was released from the sword net, and even Lin Qingxue couldn’t see what was happening. The powerful sword net became as thin as paper and instantly broke into pieces.
Lin Qingxue tried her best to open her eyes. She could vaguely see a figure walking toward Li Zhe in her blurry vision. It was as if a god had descended from the heavens. The power revealed in his every movement made her almost breathless.
“Be careful!”
Lin Qingxue couldn’t help but remind Li Zhe, but it was too late.
By the time the light dissipated, the sword net had already dissipated in the air. Ye Xuan was still in his original position, not even moving a single step as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
On the other hand, Li Zhe’s face turned pale, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.
“Senior brother, are you alright?” Lin Qingxue asked with concern.
Li Zhe wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and knew he had run into a strong opponent. He glared at Ye Xuan fiercely. “Let’s go!”
Li Zhe and Lin Qingxue instantly turned into a stream of light and disappeared. Before they left, Li Zhe didn’t forget to leave some harsh words.
“Just you wait. Misty Illusory Manor will never let you off.”
Looking at their backs as they left, Ye Xuan had no intention of chasing after them. He turned around and returned to the inn.
