Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 123
Chapter 123: Should We… Spare Ye Yu’s Life?
People watched in surprise as Ye Xuan was chased by the Sword Beast, momentarily stunned.
At this moment, Ye Xuan was holding a mid-grade Magical Artifact, hacking wildly at the Sword Beast without any method.
The dignified Sword King Heir, Ye Xuan, at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, was now reduced to such a pathetic state by a Sword Beast of the same Nascent Soul Late Stage? Does this count as being a genius?
They didn’t know, but Ye Yu did.
Ye Xuan had been spoiled rotten by several sisters since he was a child. Although he now had the cultivation base of Nascent Soul Late Stage, his combat experience was practically zero.
In addition, this Sword Beast had thick skin and flesh; it was a wonder Ye Xuan could even put up a fight.
“Help! ” Seeing that everyone was just watching, Ye Xuan shouted.
Only then did the people react, stepping forward to work together and kill the Sword Beast on the spot.
Seeing the Sword Beast fall, Ye Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the gazes of the people towards Ye Xuan had changed. A Sword Dao genius? How could he be like this? Was he deliberately pretending?
Ye Xuan didn’t notice these gazes, but hurriedly collected the fallen Sword Beast Core.
Several people saw this and moved their mouths, but ultimately didn’t say anything. However, they were extremely unhappy in their hearts.
Ye Xuan didn’t kill this Sword Beast!
After putting away the Core, Ye Xuan noticed the strange looks from the people around him. Recalling his performance just now, he felt embarrassed. Seeing Ye Yu standing at the back of the crowd, he immediately shouted, “Did you do this on purpose? ”
Ye Yu asked with a bewildered look, “What on purpose? ”
“This Sword Beast is so powerful, why didn’t you say anything? You made me careless at the beginning, almost causing me a huge loss! ” Ye Xuan said through gritted teeth.
He thought that everyone would side with him because he knew that many people initially had the same idea as him, thinking the Sword Beast only had a high cultivation realm.
“Didn’t I say from the beginning that those Sword Beasts were all injured? ” Ye Yu scratched his head, looking puzzled.
“You… ” Ye Xuan was furious, but then realized he didn’t really have anything to say.
Judging from the situation just now, a Nascent Soul Peak Sword Beast was definitely not something a Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivator could deal with. This could only mean Ye Yu was right; he really just had incredibly good luck.
Coming back to his senses, Ye Xuan suppressed his anger, and once again resumed his previous gentle and refined appearance. He softly said, “Sorry, I was excited. ”
Ye Yu shrugged indifferently, but his gaze fell on Ye Xuan’s inner armor and a Jade Talisman revealed because of his torn clothes.
That inner armor didn’t look like a Common Item. It could probably withstand the attacks of a Transformation God Initial Stage cultivator, plus that Jade Talisman.
This Jade Talisman is a thing called a Teleportation Jade Talisman. It has a Teleportation Formation engraved inside, capable of teleporting the user to a location with a corresponding Teleportation Formation.
This is extremely valuable!
Engraving a complex Teleportation Formation into jade not only requires extremely high attainments in Formation Dao, but also requires extremely complex techniques.
At least with Ye Yu’s current 2000 Seals formation cultivation base, he is far from meeting the standard for refining a Teleportation Jade Talisman.
Collecting his thoughts, Ye Xuan again urged everyone to move forward, but the number of people closely following his footsteps decreased. Many people hesitated before catching up.
Ye Xuan naturally noticed this, but he didn’t say anything. A flash of Icy Light appeared in his eyes, and he muttered, “Once we get there, none of you will live! ”
Ye Yu continued to follow behind them, but after a few steps, he stopped, turning his head to look at the void. For some reason, he had a feeling of being watched just now.
On Zi Xiao Peak.
Qingxuzi, Lingyunzi, and an Elder were observing the water surface in front of them. They unexpectedly made eye contact with Ye Yu.
“This little fellow has sharp perception. He’s a good seedling,” the Elder smiled.
“Grand Elder, have you had the thought of taking a disciple? Or should we spare his life? ” Qingxuzi smiled and said after hearing this.
The Elder in front of them was none other than Ji Wuming, the Grand Elder of the Zi Xiao Sword Sect who had disappeared without a trace, as Lingyunzi had mentioned.
Ji Wuming waved his hand and said, “We’ll talk about that later. Has the chosen heir of the Zi Xiao Sword left? ”
“Yes, he left a few days ago. Probably because he sensed danger,” Qingxuzi said, and then pushed the dazed Lingyunzi beside him.
Lingyunzi came to his senses and nodded, but the young man’s eyes from the water surface kept lingering in his mind. Those eyes were very familiar, just like Ye Yu’s!
“Hmm, good. After waiting for so many years, it doesn’t matter if we wait another ten years. We just need to make sure the Zi Xiao Sword won’t be lost again. These people actually think they can enter my Zi Xiao Sword Tomb. How laughable,” Ji Wuming nodded, a flash of Icy Light crossing his eyes.
Qingxuzi and Lingyunzi’s expressions also turned gloomy at this moment. “Soon, we will know who has betrayed the Zi Xiao Sect. It’s time for a purge. ”
Ye Yu looked but didn’t find anything, but he didn’t let down his guard. With his current cultivation base, it was impossible for him to have a hallucination.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Yu prepared to summon the Xuantian Cauldron at any time.
Ye Yu followed slowly behind the crowd. After having fought with the Sword Beasts, they no longer needed Ye Yu to scout ahead. Without waiting for Ye Xuan’s arrangements, they all went on their own initiative.
Watching everyone put Core after Core into their bags.
Ye Xuan’s expression was extremely unsightly, but he did not say anything to stop them.
As they went deeper, Ye Yu quickly realized something was wrong. Ye Xuan would stop for a while every time he walked a certain distance, looking around in a way that seemed like he was recognizing the road.
But this was absolutely impossible.
Let alone Ye Xuan being from the Nine Spirits Sword Sect, even among those who had entered the Sword Tomb over the years from the Zi Xiao Sword Sect, none had ever come out.
That night, Ye Yu had asked Lingyunzi, the guiding map of the Sword Tomb had long been lost. How could Ye Xuan recognize the way?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Ye Yu paid attention to Ye Xuan’s every move.
Ye Xuan led the crowd through the Sword Tomb. Just as Ye Xuan began to suspect that he had remembered wrongly, a Bronze Hall appeared in Ye Xuan’s sight.
The map of this Zi Xiao Sword Tomb was given to him by Ren Xiaoyao, who made him memorize it. This was obtained by Ren Xiaoyao at great cost from Gu Yue.
According to the map, this Bronze Hall was none other than the burial place of the third-generation Sect Master of the Zi Xiao Sword Sect’s sword.
Ye Xuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, “Look, what’s that? ”
At Ye Xuan’s reminder, everyone discovered the Bronze Hall. At first glance, they knew that place was definitely not ordinary, and they immediately rushed over eagerly.
Ye Yu also followed closely behind.
But when everyone arrived, there were already many people standing in front of the Bronze Hall.
Almost two-thirds of the people who entered the Sword Tomb had arrived here!
Seeing so many people, Ye Yu suddenly had a bad feeling, as if someone had deliberately guided them here!
As soon as this thought fell, a dazzling Golden Light suddenly erupted from the Bronze Hall in front of them.
