Chapter 831: Chapter 825: Journey to the Ancient Estate

Xuri Tavern, Task Hall.

In a spacious hall, there’s a distinct array of silhouettes wearing different outfits, precisely nine people.

“Elder Jin, I’ve heard there’s someone else joining our team, a young brat, is he really so arrogant to make us veterans wait for him?” A rather handsome middle-aged man in a purple robe coldly remarked among the group.

He is also a commander of the War God Camp in the Divine Domain, but only a Five-star Commander, Zhao Yincheng.

“You better not say that, he indeed has that capability. Didn’t Lei Qianzhang get forced back by him? I don’t think even you, Commander Yincheng, would have an advantage.” Another woman in green robes chuckled, her appearance exceptionally beautiful, yet her cultivation was equally strong, also with a powerful Fifth Grade Martial Saint strength.

Fengtian City Five-star Commander, Kong Rushuang.

Gathered here are individuals of substantial strength, almost all of them at the Five-star Commander level, and there are even two Six-star Commanders.

The “Elder Jin” in the golden robes is a Six-star Commander.

Another Six-star Commander is an extremely cold-looking middle-aged swordsman, and this lineup heading to Qi Ye Ancient Mansion truly deserves the term luxurious.

“Let’s wait a bit more, it’s the decision from above after all.”

Elder Jin said indifferently.

“Sorry to keep you all waiting.”

Just as their conversation was winding down, a voice came from outside the hall, it was Ye Xuan.

“Kid, you’ve got quite a big ego!”

As Ye Xuan entered the hall, a Five-star Commander immediately threw a punch, directly aimed at Ye Xuan at the entrance.

The one who made the move was named Man Shan, his figure as imposing as a tower, and the punch was sufficient to smash through a mountain.

Seeing this scene, except for Elder Jin who slightly furrowed his brow, everyone else watched coldly, eager to see whether this young lad, who recently rose to fame, possessed the matching strength.

However, facing this sudden attack from Man Shan, Ye Xuan simply raised an eyebrow; at the moment when the punch was about to arrive, he calmly lifted his palm, pushing it out flat.

Bang!

The fist and palm collided, and a sharp explosive sound reverberated, causing ripples throughout the space, but Ye Xuan remained unmoving, not retreating a single step.

It was as if the weighty force had all landed on a sponge, entirely neutralized.

“This power is somewhat lacking.”

Ye Xuan’s lips curved into a smile. Now, compared to his match with Lei Qianzhang, his strength was on a different level. Previously, he might have had to exert all his strength to deal with such power, but now, it was unnecessary.

“Interesting.”

Man Shan grinned, but then a chill flashed in his eyes, and an enormous force suddenly erupted from his palm, heavily pressing against Ye Xuan. A typical Three-star Commander would have been blasted away and torn apart by this force, even if they survived, they’d be gravely injured.

“Still not enough.”

Ye Xuan remained unmoving, his smile still lingering on his lips, the immense force distorting the space around him but failing to budge him an inch.

“What?”

Man Shan’s expression changed; there were very few who could remain steady in the face of such power. Even if Ye Xuan had defeated Lei Qianzhang, could he truly withstand this strength solely in terms of sheer power? Did this kid possess the strongest talent in terms of force?

Bang!

In the instant that Man Shan’s expression started to change, he suddenly felt the palm in contact with Ye Xuan explode, and his entire tower-like body staggered backward, surprisingly shaken back by Ye Xuan.

In that moment, everyone’s gaze turned exceedingly astonished, evidently, Ye Xuan’s methods genuinely took them by surprise.

“Excellent, I assume now no one would question Ye Xuan’s strength anymore, right?”

Elder Jin was deeply satisfied with Ye Xuan’s performance; at such a young age, his strength was already on par with Five-star Commander level, and he could even force Man Shan back with sheer force, a rarity in strength and potential. It was precisely due to this that Ye Xuan was included in their team, especially since Ye Xuan was the executor of the Night Key mission, making it all the more logical.

“I have no objections.”

Zhao Yincheng spread his hands, then sized Ye Xuan up for a moment, before smiling, “I’ve always been optimistic about Ye Xuan, young and promising indeed. I hope this cooperation will be pleasant and that we successfully obtain the Qi Ye Ancient Mansion’s treasures.”

“I hope so.”

Ye Xuan smiled faintly, aware that these people likely harbored no goodwill toward him. Even if they were in the same camp, after experiencing the Lei Qianzhang affair, they were no longer trustworthy.

“No time to waste, let’s set off.”

Elder Jin waved his hand, understanding this team’s underlying hidden agendas weren’t new, but it’s been present in the camp for a long time; being a veteran of Xuri Tavern, he wouldn’t partake in such deeds, but as for others, that couldn’t be guaranteed.

At the tavern’s rear courtyard lies a transmission hall, connecting numerous places below Xuri Tavern, and the location of Qi Ye Ancient Mansion was in the southern region of this Divine Demon Battlefield, a place called the Extreme Southern Land.

Through the guidance of the Night Key, one could sense the location of Qi Ye Ancient Mansion amidst the void.

After Ye Xuan’s group set off, they used the Transmission Array, riding the Red Blood Eagle across the desert, and on the ninth day, they finally reached the Extreme Southern Land. Yet, the scene before them caused their expressions to momentarily freeze.

This Extreme Southern Land was supposed to be extremely remote, and given the harsh environment, it was rarely visited, almost seeing no human presence, while occasionally, fireballs would descend from the sky, leaving large black craters on the ground.

“Didn’t expect the Qi Ye Ancient Mansion to be in such a place…”

The group stood atop a mountain, overlooking a scene reminiscent of an apocalypse, with disasters pouring down.

The land ahead was scorched, devoid of any vitality, and the gravity released from it was indeed astonishing.

“Let’s go. Since the Night Key pointed here, even if it’s a mountain of blades and seas of flames, we must venture through.”

Kong Rushuang coldly gazed into the distance and said coldly.

“For disasters of this level, it doesn’t pose much threat.”

Man Shan snorted coldly.

“The natural disaster is not our biggest enemy this time.”

Ye Xuan shook his head, acknowledging that the Demon Clan also possessed a key. Their most significant enemy should be the formidable individuals from the Demon Clan.

“Correct, stay alert. The real battle starts now.”

Elder Jin glanced over the group before jumping down, acknowledging that the Extreme Southern Land could only be traversed by foot; even the Red Blood Eagle couldn’t pass through this region, as it would be reduced to ashes by the rampant flames in the air.
