Within Anyang City.
Ye Xuan glanced at Iron Slave. "Go and buy some dry food. We'll eat it while we're on the road."
Iron Slave raised his arm. "Young Master, silver!"
Ye Xuan waved his hand, and a bag of silver fell into the hands of Iron Slave. The currency used by ordinary people was still silver, but cultivators used spirit stones. This was why cultivators were above the people.
Watching Iron Slave leave in high spirits, Ye Xuan turned to Ye Qingxuan. "Let's find a restaurant to rest."
"Brother, it's almost time for the secret realm to open. If we rush to Celestial City at our current speed, we'll miss the opening of the secret realm," Ye Qingxuan said.
"Brother, are you really not worried at all?"
"Since that's the case, we'll wait for Iron Slave to return and travel on our flying swords. We'll reach Celestial City as soon as possible!"
"It should have been like this long ago."
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Iron Slave returned with a bundle on his back. No one knew what he had bought, but from the grease on his mouth, it was obvious that he had eaten a lot of food on his way back.
After leaving Anyang City, Ye Qingxuan's figure appeared in the sky, ready to leave on her sword. "Brother, didn't we agree to ride on flying swords?"
"There's no hurry," Ye Xuan said. "Let's get rid of the tail behind us before we hurry!"
Ye Qingxuan landed on the ground with a confused look on her face. "Brother, you mean someone is following us in secret?"
Tantai Lan nodded. "Ever since we left Chang'an, they have been following us. Their numbers are still increasing."
Ye Xuan said, "It hasn't increased for a few days. I can catch them all in one fell swoop!"
After leaving Chang'an, he found that these people were following closely behind. They didn't choose to attack directly, so Ye Xuan didn't alert them and let them follow.
Now that there were more than a hundred people gathered, he was ready to cut off the tail and make the first move.
The five of them set off again and stopped outside a forest not far from Anyang City. One after another, figures descended from the sky and stood proudly on the top of ancient trees. The dense killing intent in the air filled the air and instantly enveloped the five of them.
Ye Xuan looked up and a beautiful figure appeared in his line of sight. From their servants, he could tell that the hundred cultivators came from different forces. "Qingxuan, Miss Tantai, do you know them?"
Ye Qingxuan shook her head. "I don't know them. They're probably here for you."
As she said this, she took a step forward and stood in front of Ye Xuan. "Don't be afraid, Brother. I'll protect you."
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Regardless of whether she was sincere or not, one action from her was enough to warm one's heart.
Tantai Lan looked at the figure on the ancient tree. "That woman is the demoness of the Sky Demon Palace, Yun Yaoyao. She's coming for me. The other forces have a strong killing intent. It should be an assassin organization."
Ye Xuan suddenly remembered something. In the past, Cao Zhengchun had mentioned that he was on the assassination roll, and he had almost forgotten about this threat.
He had never left Chang'an City, so the killers had no chance. Now that he was leaving the capital, it was the best time for them to make a move.
"These killers are coming for me."
Iron Slave looked at the assassin in black. "Young Master, don't be afraid. I will protect you!"
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Iron Slave, don't look at him like that, okay?
"Your Highness, you've misunderstood me," Iron Slave said with a serious face, "I only like peach flowers, not chrysanthemums."
As soon as he finished speaking, his feet fell on the ground, and he rose into the air, appearing in front of the killers. "That... All of you, come at me together!"
Everyone was stunned. When they saw that Iron Slave only had the strength of a peak Great Grandmaster, they all laughed at his words. Was there something wrong with this person's brain?
Being laughed at by the crowd, Iron Slave slowly took out the Tianxuan Sword from his back. "It's fine. You guys don't have to move. I'll take the initiative."
Buzz.
The giant sword pierced through the sky and slashed down.
There were no unnecessary moves, just a simple violent strike.
The crisp sound of a bell rang out. Yun Yaoyao's sleeves fluttered like a spirit snake, knocking the falling giant sword away. Even Iron Slave, who was huge, was forced to retreat.
"Little Lady, you're interesting."
"I'm serious. It's very painful. You have to bear with it!
Yun Yaoyao's figure flickered, and her sleeves were like a heavenly waterfall, instantly binding Iron Slave. Even the profound Xuantian Sword had been knocked away. Seeing Iron Slave wrapped like a dumpling, Ye Qingxuan shook her head. "Brother, is he serious when he said he'll protect you?"
"He should be serious," Ye Xuan said. "You have to believe in Iron Slave."
Boom!
An explosion was heard. The sleeves that bound Iron Slave's body were torn apart. Powerful spiritual Qi burst out, and he became violent in an instant. The Xuantian Sword on the ground let out a sword cry and rose up from the ground, appearing in Iron Slave's hand.
Iron Slave's sword swept across the army, and the spiritual Qi fluctuation swept toward the crowd like a huge wave. Yun Yaoyao moved to block it, and her beautiful figure flew backward from the ancient tree. "You're forcefully raising your realm. You actually have a secret technique."
"What secret technique? I don't know!" Iron Slave said in a deep voice as he madly waved his giant sword, slashing down again and again.
There were no fancy moves in his attacks, just random slashes. It was simply a miracle of strength. Yun Yaoyao and the others were forced to retreat, and the forest below was razed to the ground.
Seeing that Yun Yaoyao and her group had escaped, Iron Slave asked, "What's the meaning of this? It's over before it even started?"
His figure floated down and appeared beside Ye Xuan. "Young Master, How was that sword attack just now? Was it powerful?"
"It's alright," Ye Xuan replied.
"Young Master, this is a sword technique I created myself. It's called Sealing Acupoints With a Big Sword. Isn't it amazing?"
Ye Xuan was speechless.
The sword technique was decent, but the person and name were not.
"Brother, why did they leave?"
"If we can't beat them, we naturally have to escape. Otherwise, are we staying here to die?" Ye Xuan said lightly.
"It's mainly because I'm too strong," Iron Slave quickly replied.
Everyone was speechless.
Ye Xuan was speechless. Iron Slave was definitely a joke. "Let's go. We'll set off for Celestial City. They've failed this time, but they'll definitely come again. I'll look forward to our next meeting!"
The five of them rode on their flying swords and disappeared into the void.
At this moment, in the wilderness.
Yun Yaoyao appeared on the peak of a lone mountain. A man stood in front of her with his hands behind his back. "How did you fail?"
"Elder, we failed," Yun Yaoyao replied. "Tantai Lan is with the Crown Prince of Great Xia. There's a cultivator with them who has a secret technique that can forcibly increase their cultivation level."
The old man's eyes lit up when he heard that. It was a secret technique that forcefully raised one's realm. "It seems like I have to do it myself."
With that, he led the cultivators of the Sky Demon Sect in the direction that Ye Xuan and his party had left in. The old man was very tempted by the secret technique that could forcibly increase one's cultivation.
After an unknown period of time, the group from the Sky Demon Sect stopped and looked down. "They've entered this city. Yaoyao, is this Luoyang City?"
Yun Yaoyao nodded. "Yes, Elder. It's Luoyang."
"Enter the city. Luoyang will be their burial ground," the old man said.
