?75: Chapter 75: Coming out of the Mountain 75: Chapter 75: Coming out of the Mountain An expansive courtyard with a history of a hundred years, its ancient walls engraved with the marks of time.

    The courtyard was large, giving off a retro feel.

    It was filled with numerous potted plants, and the air occasionally carried the fresh scent of vegetation.

    In a pavilion, Ye Xuan sat upright; beside him were Linglong and Tie Li, positioned to his left and right.

    “Mr.

    Ye, you told Azure Dragon not to investigate this matter, so how can we find the real culprit behind the scenes?” Linglong cautiously asked.

    “Have you heard the story of the ‘guilty conscious’?” Ye Xuan said with a smile.

    Looking at Ye Xuan’s smiling face, Linglong seemed to understand something and tentatively asked, “Do you mean to say, the real culprit, knowing that you’ve arrived in the Capital City, even if you don’t go looking for him, will feel uneasy and cannot sit still, and will eventually reveal his whereabouts himself?”

    “Exactly, this person wants me dead, surely hates me deeply.

    As long as I stay in the Capital City, he will live each day in torment, a torment that will keep him awake at night, and surely he will make some foolish moves,” Ye Xuan said, laughing lightly.

    “Amazing, amazing, Mr.

    Ye, your wisdom is as vast as the sea.

    Truly brilliant,” Tie Li, smacking his lips in flattery, his unrefined mannerism immediately made the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

    Ye Xuan sighed, giving Tie Li a helpless look without saying much.

    “Big brother Tie, maybe talk less,” Linglong, covering her forehead, her face somewhat flushed, obviously felt somewhat embarrassed.

    “This Extreme Yin Heart Scripture is a body refining technique I’ve developed over the last few days.

    If you cultivate according to this method, naturally, it will resolve the risks posed by your powerful soul.”

    Ye Xuan casually took out a book and handed it directly to Linglong, which made her face light up with joy as she continuously thanked Ye Xuan.

    “Mr.

    Ye, you’re not joking, right?

    Teacher Poison was a saintly healer of the nation, and even he couldn’t cure Linglong’s condition.

    How could a mere book possibly cure her?” Tie Li blurted out what was on his mind without any filter.

    “Big brother Tie, you...”

    Linglong, visibly upset and about to scold Tie Li, didn’t get to finish her words before Ye Xuan interrupted with a wave of his hand, “Linglong’s soul is powerful, and ordinary ancient martial artists, even if they cultivate for decades, their bodies can’t sustain her powerful soul.

    This Extreme Yin Heart Scripture matches her constitution perfectly.

    One year of her cultivating this is equivalent to ten years of the normal technique.

    When she enters the Innate Realm, her own risks will also vanish without a trace.”

    At this point, Ye Xuan’s eyes deepened as he continued to Linglong, “Moreover, once you step into the Innate Realm, you will be invincible among your peers.”

    “Ah?”

    Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Linglong gasped in shock, Tie Li’s expression turned excited.

    He looked at Ye Xuan with a warm expression and said, “Mr.

    Ye...can I also cultivate this Extreme Yin Heart Scripture?”

    Ye Xuan nodded with a smile, “Certainly.”

    “Haha, that’s great, I...”

    Unfortunately, before Tie Li could finish his jubilant exclamation, Ye Xuan said teasingly, “As long as you don’t mind becoming a woman, you are more than welcome to cultivate it.”

    Tie Li’s laughter abruptly ceased, suddenly feeling a chill below, his body shivered, and he then fell silent, which elicited giggles from Linglong.

    ...

    Time passed quickly, and it had been a week since Ye Xuan had arrived in the Capital City.

    In that time, the Capital City had been rather calm without any significant incidents.

    Ye Xuan was quite comfortable; each day he would guide Linglong in her cultivation and spend the rest of his time wandering around the Capital City, visiting historic relics, enjoying a rare leisurely time.

    Ye Family had been having a tough time.

    The Earth Group members of Wu’an Office were constantly monitoring Ye Family’s movements.

    From Ye Canghai and his son to the lowest servants and attendants, who they met and what they ate were all compiled into voluminous data on Azure Dragon’s desk.

    The pressure from various quarters swept through Ye Family.

    They faced continuous setbacks in military, political, and business realms.

    Had it not been for Ye Family being one of the eight major families, and the other families understanding the principle of mutual dependence for survival, Ye Family would have likely crumbled under this pressure long ago.

    During this period, Ye Family had sent an invitation to Ye Xuan, hoping to mend their relationship.

    However, the so-called invitation was casually discarded by Ye Xuan, who did not even glance at it.

    There were three days left until the annual meeting of the Wu’an Office, and at the same time, Nangong Tian, after a long and arduous journey, finally arrived in the midst of Langya Mountain.

    ...

    Langya Mountain!

    A clear pond whose waters were crystal-clear and azure, with several koi occasionally leaping out, causing ripples to spread across the water.

    A man in a moon-white robe stood by the pond with his hands behind his back.

    His hair was jet black, except for his silver temples.

    His eyes, opening and closing, seemed to see through everything in the world, conveying a sense of serene detachment.

    This man looked like a young man, but the aura that sporadically emanated from him was reminiscent of an elderly person nearing the end of his days.

    This contradictory feeling, gathered in him, did not seem odd but rather appeared perfectly natural.

    “Young Nangong Tian, paying respects to senior Li Huantian.”

    Nangong Tian’s voice trembled as he knelt on the ground, and the ten-plus Ancient Martial Artists behind him, faces filled with reverence, also knelt down, continuously kowtowing and greeting the man in front.

    Whoosh!

    The palm moved like the wind, and the empty space buzzed.

    Before Nangong Tian could react, the Summoning Heaven Token in his hand shot out towards the man.

    As the wooden token was grasped, thoughts turned hazy.

    Li Huantian’s eyes slightly closed and then, with a burst of power from his fingers, instantly turned the wood into dust, scattering it into the void.

    “Nangong Huo is what relation to you?” Li Huantian’s voice was husky, exuding an immense pressure.

    “Nangong Huo was my ancestor.

    I am currently the head of Nangong Family.

    I didn’t want to disturb your peaceful cultivation, but Nangong Family is facing an unprecedented enemy, and disaster looms.

    I had no choice but to beseech you to leave your seclusion,” Nangong Tian said, his forehead touching the ground, his voice extremely respectful.

    “Heavenly Dao is merciless, immortality elusive.

    I hadn’t expected to be dragged into mortal affairs as my end draws near!”

    Li Huantian sighed, his aura suddenly turning terrifying.

    Innate Gang Qi exploded, filling the air with a chilling, desolate aura.

    “Well then, well then, I must fulfill the promises of the past.

    Let me, Li Huantian, see what kind of new talents have emerged on the Central Plains after a hundred years.”

    “We respectfully welcome senior Li Huantian out of seclusion.”

    Nangong Tian trembled intensely, causing the ten-plus Ancient Martial Artists behind him to kowtow again.

    “Flying Snow!”

    Clang, clang, clang!

    Sword Qi clanged, empty space stirred.

    Li Huantian spoke in a deep voice, and suddenly, a piece of Green Stone in the middle of the pond burst open, a chilling sword light streaking across the sky, shooting directly towards Li Huantian.

    With the Flying Snow Sword in hand, Li Huantian’s aura drastically changed.

    He seemed transformed into an unsheathed sharp sword.

    Any living being in his way would be cut down at his feet.
