Chen Feng paused for a moment, his eyes twinkling, and said: "Okay, as long as you return the blood ginseng to me, then this matter will be over."
Although he said that, in his heart, he did not plan to let Ye Xuan and Xue Qing go. Firstly, Ye Xuan was a member of the Ye Family, and secondly, they were here in the wilderness, it would be fine to kill them.
Therefore, he wanted the other party to hand over the Blood Ginseng, then kill Ye Xuan, and then cripple Xue Qingqing's Dantian in order to enjoy it.
"Alright, it's a deal!" Just as she was about to remove the bundle, at this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly stopped her.
"Do you really think that you will be let off just by returning the thing to him? This guy's character is something that even the women and children in Cloud City know. Even if you give him all of your possessions, he still wouldn't let the two of us go. " Ye Xuan slowly said.
Although Xue Qingqing's talent was not bad, she was still a fourteen year old child. She did not know much about the world and did not know what was sinister about the human heart. She really did not know how she came to the Lianyun Eighteen Mountain Range.
After hearing this, Xue Qingqing's movements also stopped. She asked in astonishment, "Are you for real?"
"Ye Xuan, stop talking nonsense!" Chen Feng hurriedly shouted. The reason he told the two of them so much was because he was afraid that Xue Qingqing would destroy the 500 year-old Blood Ginseng. After all, it was worth millions of silver taels.
"What does my words have to do with you?" Ye Xuan immediately pulled out his sword, and said: "Chen Feng, I think after you get the Blood Ginseng, you will rush forward to kill the two of us?"
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Chen Feng no longer hid it and silently took out his sword, saying: "Humph, using a 500 year old Blood Ginseng to exchange for the life of a genius of the Ye Family, that is worth it, since that is the case, I will experience the true strength of the number one genius of the Ye Family!"
"Swoosh!"
Chen Feng also attacked as he said so, he raised his hand and sent out a few sword beams. However, because the distance was too far, they were easily dodged by Ye Xuan and Xue Qingqing.
Xue Qingqing was also about to pull out her sword, but she was stopped by Ye Xuan.
"Girl, wait here. I want to fight him one on one!" Ye Xuan said indifferently.
"What?" You're crazy, he is in the early stages of the fifth stage of Martial Dao! " Xue Qingqing hurriedly shouted.
"Just watch, I'll kill him in ten rounds!"
Ye Xuan's morale suddenly rose, and he immediately rushed out.
At this moment, Xue Qingqing finally realised that the intensity of the spirit energy Ye Xuan had just released was much stronger than her own. It seemed that he was also in the early stages of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao.
"How could this be? Could it be that there's been some mistake with my information?" Xue Qingqing thought with some surprise.
If it were any other Warrior in the early fifth stage of the Martial Dao, Ye Xuan would be a little afraid.
But Ye Xuan was not afraid of this Chen Feng.
Firstly, Chen Feng relied on his Dan to pile up the cultivation, and secondly, Chen Feng was not much older than him, and thirdly, he still had two Devour Points on him.
During their conversation just now, Ye Xuan had secretly traded his Devouring Points into a cultivation technique, a level five agility martial art called Rushing Steps.
Ye Xuan and Chen Feng had instantly started fighting, but after seeing Ye Xuan's strength, Chen Feng trembled, it seemed like the information he had obtained was also very inaccurate.
Ye Xuan was more than just at the early fourth stage of the Martial Dao, this was clearly the middle of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao, and he was even stronger than him.
"Impossible! How can your cultivation be higher than mine?" Chen Feng was extremely shocked. Ye Xuan breaking through to the fourth level of the Martial Dao was something that happened last month. In just one month, he consecutively jumped four levels.
"Haven't you heard of breaking it before?!" Ye Xuan coldly replied.
In an instant, he thrusted out three times, and the speed of his attacks was even faster than Chen Feng's by thirty percent. After all, he was currently in the middle of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao.
Chen Feng blocked with great difficulty, but at this moment, Ye Xuan's speed suddenly erupted. He originally used a Level 4 Body Arts, but now, he used a Level 5 Body Arts.
This increase in speed made Chen Feng a little unable to react. He was accidentally pierced by Ye Xuan's sword and became red.
"Impossible, you can't be this strong! I will kill you!" Chen Feng couldn't bear the shock and after shouting a few times, he tried to resist.
He actually had a Grade 5 Martial Arts on him. However, it consumed a lot of his Grade 5 Martial Arts. Furthermore, he had been chasing Xue Qingqing for a long time, so the Spiritual Energy in his body was actually not enough.
But now that the war had started, he had no choice.
"Thunderstorm Sword, die!" Chen Feng suddenly slashed out.
"Hmph, Gale Chop!"
Ye Xuan also noticed the uniqueness of this move, and immediately used his trump card.
"Bam!"
The two slashes collided with each other and the two different Spiritual Energies instantly fused and exploded. A shockwave swept out.
With this move, they were even!
"What?! He can actually destroy the powerful Thunderstorm Sword!" Chen Feng was extremely surprised. The martial art he used was considered the most powerful one among all the Level 5 martial arts in the Cracking Cloud Sect, but after thinking about it, Ye Xuan's realm was higher than his, and under the suppression of rank, there was indeed one.
But at this moment.
"Swoosh!"
Suddenly, a slash broke through the smoke and dust and flew towards Chen Feng. It was another Gale Chop.
As the name implied, the Gale Sword Technique was known for its speed.
On the other hand, the Thunderstorm Sword only had a large amount of power. The circulation of the spirit energy within his body was rather complicated, so it was rather slow to use.
This Wind Slash caught Chen Feng off guard.
The [Gale Slash] flew through the air, but Chen Feng's reaction speed could be considered fast, he anxiously used the sword in his hand to block.
"Bam!"
A muffled sound rang out and Chen Feng was sent flying. The longsword in his hand was also sent flying.
"Good chance, your death is imminent!"
Ye Xuan pierced through the smoke and dust and immediately used his Level 5 Movement Skill, Rushing Steps. His figure flashed, jumping across the smoke and dust, he then slashed out again.
With the Swift Wind Slash in addition to the Charge Steps, his speed was almost at its peak.
Before Chen Feng even landed on the ground, the Gale Slash had already arrived in front of him.
"No, that's impossible!" Chen Feng's eyes were wide open, he felt that this was unbelievable, he could not believe that he would die in Ye Xuan's hands.
"Hiss!"
The [Gale Chop] swept past Chen Feng's body, chopping off his head along with half of his shoulder. In an instant, he died a miserable death.
"Plop!"
As the two pieces of Chen Feng's body fell to the ground, Ye Xuan's footsteps stopped one after another.
"Even the four prodigies of the Chen Clan are only worth so much!" With a wave of his sword, Ye Xuan kept it back into the sword sheath.
Now, he had a rough estimate of his own strength.
He reckoned that even if it were some experienced middle stage Martial Dao s, they would still be able to fight. After all, he had the advantage in martial arts. Furthermore, he had grown up eating Treasures s and his physique could be considered pretty good amongst his peers.
Chapter 18 - Returning to the City
After Chen Feng died, Ye Xuan also slowly tur
ned his head around. Looking at the stunned Xue Qingqing, he said, "How many rounds did I exchange blows with him?"
Hearing this question, Xue Qingqing finally reacted. She shook her head in astonishment and said, "No, I didn't count …"
She had already been intimidated by Ye Xuan's strength. After all, from her memories, Ye Xuan's level should be even lower than his.
However, it seemed as if Chen Feng, who was in the early fifth stage of the Martial Dao, was killed by Ye Xuan in less than ten rounds.
Ye Xuan did not ask anymore, and only walked over to Chen Feng and squatted down, then took out a few bottles of Dan, put away his long sword, and walked back in.
"You, you really are Ye Xuan?" Xue Qingqing asked in disbelief.
"Nonsense, when you were young, you even said that you wanted to marry me, did you forget?" Ye Xuan rolled his eyes.
When Xue Qingqing heard this, her face immediately flushed red. She coquettishly scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting? I was speaking nonsense when I was young."
Now, she was sure that this was indeed the Ye Xuan that she knew.
"Then why are you asking?" Ye Xuan said helplessly.
"But I heard that you just broke through to the early fourth stage of the Martial Dao last month." Xue Qingqing was still somewhat surprised.
"Don't ask, I'm stronger than you anyway." As Ye Xuan spoke, his gaze suddenly fell upon Xue Qing Qing and he chuckled: "Even though we know each other, I did save you, shouldn't you reward me a little?"
"What do you want?" Even though she and Ye Xuan knew each other, she couldn't help but take a step back.
"I'm not doing anything, there's a gift of thanks for helping. Come, give me half of the 500 years old blood." Ye Xuan was not unreasonable and spoke directly.
At this time, Xue Qingqing realized that she misunderstood his intentions. She heaved a sigh of relief, opened Chen Feng's bag, and threw a small cloth bag over.
"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to escape his pursuit. I'll give you this 500 years old blood ginseng." Xue Qingqing said very generously.
"Err …" Ye Xuan took the cloth and opened it. There was a red ginseng inside the bag.
The age of the Blood Ginseng was determined by its color. The color of this Blood Ginseng was very dense. It was indeed more than 500 years old.
"Are you sure you want to give me all of it?" Ye Xuan asked in surprise. This 500 year old Blood Ginseng was worth millions of silver, he could buy a level 5 martial art now.
"Have you forgotten what my father does? It's only 1,000,000 silver, I'm not interested in it. " Xue Qingqing suddenly asked.
After hearing her reminder, Ye Xuan also reacted.
Xue Qingqing's father, Xue Hai, was a famous businessman. He had more businesses than the Ye Family, and Xue Hai had started his business from scratch. There was a fundamental difference between him and the Ye Family.
A mere 1,000,000 silver was indeed nothing to him.
It was no wonder that Xue Qingqing, who was only fourteen years old, was already in the middle of the fourth stage of the Martial Dao.
"Haha, then I'll accept it." Ye Xuan did not argue and immediately kept it.
As long as he could swallow this 500 year old blood ginseng, perhaps he would be able to break through to the peak of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao.
But then again, it was a little unusual for the precious daughter of the Xue Clan to suddenly come to the eighteen mountain ranges of Lianyun.
Immediately, Ye Xuan asked: "Oh right, why did you come here?"
"I …"
Xue Qingqing hesitated for a moment before replying, "I wanted to go to the Cloud Cracking Sect, but my father refused and ran out. After that, I chased a Whirlwind Wolf with a pendant around its neck all the way to the Lianyun Eighteen Mountain Range. "
"A Whirlwind Wolf with a pendant around its neck?" Ye Xuan did not manage to react to what the hell was happening.
"Yeah, it seems like someone hung it up. Do you know what that pendant is?" Xue Qingqing asked again.
"What is it?" Ye Xuan asked in surprise. At the same time, he thought, could it be a diamond?
However, diamonds didn't seem to be worth much in this world.
"It's a crystal, worth 1,000,000 silver!" Xue Qingqing answered.
"Crystals?"
Hearing this name, Ye Xuan immediately cried out.
Crystal stones were the currency used to trade between the high grade Warrior s. It was said that the Ye Family also had a low-grade crystal stone worth one million silver taels.
"Yes, crystal. At that time, I was thinking who had the money to hang the crystal around the neck of the Demon Beast, so I chased in, but I lost it." Xue Qingqing said helplessly.
Even if it was just a low-grade crystal, it would be worth at least a million silver, which was equivalent to Ye Xuan's 500 years old blood ginseng.
"You're thinking too much. It must be fake. How could a crystal be hanging around the neck of a Level Four Demon Beast, Whirlwind Wolves?" Ye Xuan did not think too much and continued: "Then you've already run away from home?"
"Yeah, I don't have anywhere to go right now, so why don't I go over to your place?" Xue Qingqing nodded.
"Yes, yes, but I also ran away from home." Ye Xuan said. Since he still had a few empty rooms in his new residence, he did not mind adding on Xue Qing. He would be able to go to the Moyun Sect together in a year's time.
"Why did you run away from home?" Xue Qingqing was astonished.
"Let's talk on the way."
… ….
Originally, when Ye Xuan came in, he was alone, so it was more convenient. After killing the Demon Beast, he directly swallowed them. However, now that there was only Xue Qingqing left, it was rather troublesome. After all, he couldn't let Xue Qingqing know about the matter regarding the Devouring System.
However, Xue Qingqing was generous and passed Chen Feng's bag to him. There were still many good things inside.
Ye Xuan reckoned that he was now strong enough to break through the peak of the fifth stage of Martial Dao.
In less than two days, they left the Lianyun Eighteen Mountain Range. Then, they bought two fine horses from the nearest small town and rushed back to Lianyun City.
"Liu'er, I'm back."
Ye Xuan opened the door to his courtyard and shouted out. However, there was no response.
After that, he quickly searched through the mansion, but Liu'er was nowhere to be seen.
Ye Xuan's expression sank to the bottom because Liu'er was very obedient. At that time, the things he bought were enough for Liu'er to live for half a month. However, it had only been a week, before Liu'er disappeared.
Furthermore, Ye Xuan had found some footprints in the courtyard that did not belong to him, nor to Liu'er, much less the old man who sold them to him.
These footprints were very heavy, it was obvious that they were from the young adults, and all of them were from Warrior.
Just when Ye Xuan thought that the person who kidnapped Liu'er could be the Chen Family, he suddenly found a piece of paper in Liu'er's room.
It turned out that Liu'er had not been captured by the Chen family, but had gone back to the Ye family.
Chapter 19 - Returning to the Ye Family
"So it's the Ye Family. That's good." Ye Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, but he found it strange, because the words on the piece of paper were not Liu'er's.
"What are you going to do now, go back to the Ye Family?" Xue Qingqing who was at the side asked.
"That's the only way." Ye Xuan nodded.
He originally wanted to cause a ruckus and get the Ye Family's attention. After he came back from his training, he would be able to negotiate with the anxious Ye Family and make them pay a huge price. He would have to extort at least 5 million silver taels.
One must know that this fifteen year old at the early fourth level of the Martial Dao was the number one genius of the Ye Family.
And after he left t
he Ye Family, his cultivation level directly broke through to the middle of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao. This was something that could be heavily nurtured even in the Skysplit Sect.
5,000,000 silver was not enough!
Moreover, Ye Xuan also had a five hundred years old blood ginseng in his bag, adding Chen Feng's things, he would definitely be able to break through to the peak of the fifth stage of the Martial Dao.
Immediately, Ye Xuan rushed towards the Ye Family with Xue Qing.
When Ye Xuan returned to the Ye Family's gate, the two guards were also shocked. They anxiously shouted: "Quick, go inform the patriarch, Young Master is back!"
One must know that in the period of time that Ye Xuan had left, the Ye and Chen Families of Lian Yun City had clashed multiple times.
The news of Ye Xuan returning to the Ye Family household quickly spread like wildfire. Not long later, Ye Zhang and the four clan elders rushed over to the Ye Family's main hall.
"Ye Xuan, you're back?"
After entering, Ye Zhang strode with large strides towards Ye Xuan, and then sized him up. Sure enough, a strong wave of spirit energy was emitted from Ye Xuan's body.
"Uncle, where's Liu'er?" Ye Xuan went straight to the point.
"Liu'er …"
Ye Zhang naturally knew that Ye Xuan's maid was called Liu'er, but when he heard the name, his face suddenly changed.
Seeing that, Ye Xuan's eyes instantly widened, and he said: "Did something happen to Liu'er?"
"This …" Ye Zhang did not know how to reply, and could only say: "Ye Xuan, come with me."
The Four Great Clan Elders were also slightly helpless, they did not expect that once Ye Xuan returned, they would not even have the right to speak.
Following that, Ye Xuan followed behind Ye Zhang, and returned to the Ye Family's courtyard.
Liu'er's door opened, and a figure entered Ye Xuan's sight. It was Liu'er. However, Liu'er was currently lying on the bed and didn't move at all.
Ye Xuan was startled by the door, he turned his head to look, only to see Ye Zhang and the four clan elders revealing strange expressions, and his heart immediately sank.
He quickly walked in, and then he looked at the unconscious Liu'er and discovered that her aura was extremely disordered.
