Chapter 1705: The Final Battle with the Holy Mansion
Chapter 1705: The Final Battle with the Holy Mansion
"That’s right!" Zhao Zongsheng said solemnly, "News just came from the Holy Mansion. They have found clues to the Source Stone, and within three days, they will definitely pinpoint its location!""Such good news?"
Zhao Xunjian was stunned for a while, then burst into laughter, "It seems it’s truly heaven helping my Zhao family; blessings never come singly! Immediately inform the Holy Mansion that they must obtain the Source Stone. Whatever they need, just say the word!"
Why do the Zhao Family and the Holy Mansion want to eliminate Ye Xuan so badly?
Because of Wang Shaoyang’s grudge with Ye Xuan?
Obviously, a mere Wang Shaoyang, or even the entire Wang Family, doesn’t have the capital to make them create such a fuss.
Because the existence of Purgatory affected their interests?
Indeed, that’s a reason, but compared to the formidable danger of Ye Xuan, they are more willing to ignore the small losses caused by Purgatory.
At the root of it all, the source of all grudges boils down to just two words.
Source Stone!
Only the Source Stone has such immense allure!
Whether it’s the Zhao Family or the Holy Mansion, their resolve on the matter of the Source Stone is unwavering. As long as they can obtain it, they will pay any price!
However, the Lin Family’s protection of the Source Stone is indeed tight, so tight that even for years, Lin Tong hasn’t seen that mysterious studio.
Such tight defenses leave the Zhao Family and the Holy Mansion completely helpless.
Now.
The Holy Mansion finally obtained clues to the Source Stone!
How did these clues come about?
It’s not important!
What’s important is, since there are clues, there is hope!
Once this hope is realized, the strides of Zhao Xunjian will truly be unstoppable. The mere position of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch will no longer be worthy of him!
First becoming a Qi Gong Master, then receiving such good news, Zhao Xunjian is ecstatic!
Standing by the side, Zhao Zongsheng was also invigorated, forgetting his pain, "Heaven does not disappoint the willing. After Zhao Family and the Holy Mansion have toiled for so many years, we’ve finally obtained clues to the Source Stone. This time, we will surely have double blessings!"
"If the result is as we wish, then of course, that’s the best outcome!"
Zhao Xunjian calmed his emotions a bit and pondered, "To be safe, head to the Holy Mansion’s headquarters immediately and keep a close watch on them to prevent them from keeping the Source Stone for themselves."
"Yes!"
Zhao Zongsheng agreed heartily.
But soon, he recalled the last hunt for Qin Yitian, showing doubts, "Why doesn’t father go personally? With your current unparalleled strength, the Source Stone is of grave importance. If you oversee in person, it will surely be foolproof!"
Hearing this, Zhao Xunjian frowned, looking deeply at Zhao Zongsheng.
Zhao Zongsheng’s heart trembled, hurriedly saying, "Father, please calm down. It’s my mistake to speak out of turn."
Zhao Xunjian waved his hand, said with a stern face, "The power of Qigong is overwhelmingly strong. Although I have mastered this power, I still need time to understand it to avoid complications. It’s best not to leave home for now."
"I understand!" Zhao Zongsheng bowed and cupped his fists, "I will head to the Holy Mansion right away and will not disappoint you!"
...
Morning!
In the small courtyard of the villa, Ye Xuan and Chi Lian each occupied a spot, practicing their respective fist techniques.
A situation similar to yesterday reappeared.
Ye Xuan was engrossed in practicing, as if everything around him disappeared, leaving only strands of energy gas in the air for him to absorb.
And his body, like a voracious hollow jar, no matter how much energy gas filled it, seemed never satisfied.
It was like opening the door to a new world!
Before the door opened, no matter how Ye Xuan tried, he couldn’t find the existence of that strand of energy, but ever since his breakthrough yesterday, everything changed.
Ye Xuan absorbed all the energy gases effortlessly!
In this kind of absorption, Ye Xuan’s strength was significantly progressing every second, mastering the energy gas incorporated into his body more skillfully.
At the very least, Ye Xuan now had confidence that the incident of accidentally injuring Chi Lian yesterday would not recur.
After finishing two sets of Body Cultivation Techniques.
Ye Xuan stopped all movements, opened his eyes lightly, took a deep breath, deciding to keep everything as usual and stop when due.
Even though he felt he could continue to absorb that energy, the path of martial arts is about gradual progress and shouldn’t be rushed.
If Ye Xuan grows without moderation, he might see major improvements in a short time, but over a long period, many terrifying hidden dangers will inevitably appear.
"This speed of progress is already terrifying enough."
Feeling the abundant power within him, Ye Xuan smacked his lips, still filled with excitement and joy.
Compared to before yesterday, his progress over these two days was beyond imagination.
A qualitative leap!
At this moment, the phone rang.
Ye Xuan raised his sword-like eyebrows, pulled out his phone, and saw that it was Ye Lang calling.
He answered.
Ye Xuan did not speak.
On the other side, Ye Lang’s solemn voice, unlike before, came through, "Ye Lang, ready!"
Ye Xuan nodded, "Standby."
Ye Xuan hung up the phone.
The phone rang again.
He answered.
On the other side, Xiong Shan’s plain yet solemn voice shouted, "Iron Tower Bear Mountain, ready!"
Ye Xuan: "Standby."
Rose Iris called: "Rose Iris, ready!"
"Standby!"
Witch Diana: "Witch Diana, ready!"
"Standby!"
"..."
Just a few phone calls, nothing unusual, yet it seemed to instill a certain power, causing the entire East Sea to exude a faint murderous aura.
Quiet, heavy!
Ye Xuan put away his phone, turned to see Chi Lian walking towards him.
That girl, what a great figure...
Chi Lian approached Ye Xuan, showing a doubtful expression, "Brother Black Emperor, the Holy Mansion is mysterious and cunning, cautious and deceitful in action. Even that brute Ye Lang has not found their headquarters so far. Are we working in vain?"
"We won’t be." Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, "From beginning to end, their ultimate goal has only been the Source Stone. Now that the Source Stone has appeared, they can’t sit still."
Chi Lian lightly furrowed her eyebrows, "Isn’t it too risky?"
"Afraid of wolves? You won’t catch them." Ye Xuan smiled faintly, "Just do your job."
"Yes!"
Chi Lian immediately said no more, stood straight, and saluted Ye Xuan decisively, "Chi Lian Luo Qing, ready!"
Ye Xuan sternly replied, "Standby!"
Finally, the two shared a smile.
Fighting side by side, it’s been a long time...
The fierce wind roared!
The courtyard of the villa, full of dead leaves, danced chaotically, beautifully yet mournfully.
The sky, long gloomy, gathered dark clouds, as if the Demon King was born, enveloping the entire East Sea heavily, suffocating with stagnant air.
Ye Xuan looked up at the sky, his clothes fluttering in the wind below.
He narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth forming a sinister and furious arc, like a bloodthirsty demon, thirsty for blood for far too long.
"Soon, soon..."
Ye Xuan murmured to himself, his quiet and weak voice filled with endless killing intent.
Stalemate for so long.
Now, the final battle with the Holy Mansion is finally coming...
