Zhan Xuan was not as calm as he appeared to be.
After coming out of Sima Bin's courtyard this time, he knew that his performance in the past year must have aroused the suspicion of the people from the Blessed Enclave.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Zhan Clan's reputation in the Five Elements Sect was too resounding in the past, no one would believe his words today.
Even so, Sima Bin, who was the most enthusiastic about the Five Elements Ring, seemed to be gradually losing his patience.
He insisted on seeing the Five Elements Ring before he could tell them the method to upgrade it. However, he also knew that Fan Shuo, Sima Bin, and the others were waiting for him to speak first. They wanted to know if it was worth offending He Yiming for this method.
This was the biggest reason for the stalemate between the two sides.
Unfortunately, Zhan Xuan had absolutely no way out. He was certain that once the Blessed Enclave knew that the method to upgrade a divine artifact was so harsh and unattainable, they would definitely give up on their plan to seize the Five Elements Ring.
After all, He Yiming was no longer a nobody in the past. He was a Five Elements Venerable with a powerful Saint Beast. In addition, he had the support of the Heavenly Lake Faction behind him. There were only a few forces who had the guts to provoke him.
No one was willing to go for wool and come back on credit. This was obvious just by looking at the fate of the Great Shen Dynasty's Yu family.
Today, after returning to his room in the Blessed Enclave, his heart was unusually chaotic and irritable.
He attributed this to his conversation with Si Mabin, as he did not know how much patience the Five Qi Supreme Exalted had, and how much time they would give him.
He let out a long sigh and thought of his master, junior brother, and the others in Kairong Country. The resentment towards He Yiming in his heart suddenly surged out like an avalanche.
He Yiming, that freak. It was because of his appearance that Kairong Country ended up in such a state.
Without him, the world would be peaceful.
He reached into his bosom and took out a letter. He could almost recite the contents of this letter by heart. But he would take it out and read it every day, especially the last sentence:
The enmity between the two was too deep to be resolved. The fate of the Kairong Nation was in the hands of this brother.
Every time he saw this sentence, he would feel shocked.
He Yiming was no longer someone he could deal with.
However, just as his junior brother had said, he had no other choice for the sake of expanding the nation's fate.
Getting someone else to do the dirty work was the only thing he could do.
He folded the letter neatly and put it back into his bosom. Then, he sat down on the chair quietly and pondered in silence, carefully scrutinizing every detail.
The Blessed Enclave was his last hope. No matter what, he could not fail. Even if they couldn't kill He Yiming on the spot, they would at least make him lose the Ring of Five Elements and make him form an irreconcilable feud with the Blessed and Heavenly Lands.
Just as he was trying his best to think, he heard a soft, almost imperceptible cracking sound. His spiritual sense was exceptional, so he immediately raised his head and happened to see a hole in the window.
But that was it. Other than this hole, he didn't find anything else.
However, for some reason, he felt a strong sense of danger quickly oppressing him. At that moment, he had goosebumps all over his body, as if a fatal danger was quickly approaching him.
Although Zhan Xuan was alert, he felt at a loss at this moment.
This was because he could not be sure where the sense of danger was coming from.
If he had seen the battle between He Yiming and Si Mabin, he might have thought of something and immediately left. Unfortunately, he did not dare to meet He Yiming face to face. When He Yiming appeared, Zhan Xuan had already hidden. Si Mabin's defeat was not something to be happy about. As disciples of the Blessed and Heavenly Lands, they could not wait to hide it, let alone let Zhan Xuan know.
As such, Zhan Xuan narrowed his eyes and immediately observed his surroundings, waiting for an accident to happen.
However, he did not expect that a ray of light would suddenly appear beneath his feet.
It was obvious that the ray of light did not come for him. Instead, it streaked past half a foot in front of him.
Then, he heard a crisp sound. It was as if something had bounced up in front of him. At that moment, he understood.
Just now, something similar to a hidden weapon must have been flying towards him, and the ray of light that suddenly rose from the ground saved his life at the most critical moment.
At that thought, he immediately broke out in cold sweat and was filled with fear. Just what kind of thing was able to sneak up on him without being detected?
However, his reaction was quite fast. The moment the sound was heard, he had already retreated with all his strength. His body seemed to have been installed with a huge spring as he smashed through the wall behind him and disappeared into the night.
However, just as his feet landed on the ground, he immediately felt a towering killing intent and an unparalleled aura pressing down on him.
It took only a split second for Zhan Xuan to know that the person's martial arts cultivation base was so mighty that he could not reach it.
In fact, he did not even have the thought of fighting back. He lowered his body and turned into a stream of light, which flowed forward like a blue wave.
When a person's martial arts cultivation base advanced to that of a Venerable One, unless one was flying in the sky, there was not much difference in terms of speed.
Once someone took the lead and ran away, the possibility of those who came later catching up to him was next to nil.
After He Yiming's first failure, he made a prompt decision to attack with all his strength without reservation. However, he did not expect Zhan Xuan to be so cowardly. He did not even have the courage to resist and had already turned around to flee.
He Yiming waved his hand with a ruthless look in his eyes without any hesitation.
Other people might not be able to catch up to a Venerable One, but He Yiming had the Aurora Sword. Under the guidance of his conception, the weightless sword was as fast as lightning and was even faster than a Venerable One.
Zhan Xuan's face changed when he sensed a power fluctuation in the space, but he did not look back. Instead, he continued to move forward because he knew he would be safe as long as he was in the blessed land.
Sure enough, another light appeared on the ground. The Aurora Sword was fast, but the light was not slow either. Moreover, it intercepted the sword in front of him and blocked it in an instant.
He Yiming was shocked and angry. If such a thing didn't happen in front of his eyes, he would never believe it.
His two consecutive assassinations were stopped by someone in an inexplicable way. What made him feel even more terrified was that he didn't even know who the person who secretly interfered was.
He had exchanged blows with a powerhouse at the peak of the human path, such as Great Ancestor Yellow Spring. He had experienced the mightiness of a powerhouse at that level.
Having said that, even if the powerhouse was at the peak of the human path, he could not have hidden from Ou Yangming's perception and intercepted him twice.
Someone like that could not be reached by the human path.
With a flash of determination in his eyes, He Yiming flickered his finger, causing the Aurora Sword, which had been bounced away, to light up with a white light.
The white light seemed to have a mind of its own. As soon as it appeared, it followed the shortest route toward Zhan Xuan, who was running away.
Once again, the magical light appeared on the ground. This time, the situation was entirely different.
The North Sea Aurora passed through the blockade and continued to move forward. The light, which had bounced away the Aurora Sword twice in a row, finally could not stop the North Sea Aurora from penetrating.
Zhan Xuan, who was running, seemed to have sensed extreme danger. He turned to look in mid-air and was scared out of his wits.
He was no stranger to the North Sea Aurora, so he knew what it was at one glance.
Having said that, the North Sea Aurora belonged to the Zhan family, after all. Without any hesitation, he reached out to retrieve an item and gently tossed it over.
"Ding …"
A clear and pleasant sound was heard. The item fell to the ground and broke.
Despite being blocked by the item, the North Sea Aurora did not penetrate it. Instead, it turned around and obediently returned to the Aurora Sword in the blink of an eye.
He Yiming took a glance out of the corner of his eye and instantly recognized the item's origin. Despite that, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood because it turned out to be a mirror — a very ordinary mirror.
The world was vast, and there were all kinds of strange things.
This amazing aurora of the North Sea, which even the mysterious person hiding in the dark couldn't block, was actually reflected back by an ordinary mirror. Before this happened, He Yiming couldn't imagine it at all.
With a thought, the Aurora Sword suddenly returned from mid-air and returned to his hand.
When he did this, there was nothing to stop him at all. It seemed that as long as He Yiming did not have the intention of harming someone's life, the mysterious force would not appear.
He Yiming did not stop and chased after Zhan Xuan's back.
Although he didn't know what kind of power had stopped him twice, his desire to kill Zhan Xuan still hadn't changed at all.
After Zhan Xuan escaped, he immediately guessed the origin of the person behind him.
The North Sea Aurora was a sacred object passed down from generation to generation in the Zhan family. However, after the death of his master, it fell into the hands of his enemy, He Yiming.
It was precisely because of this that Zhan Xuan carried a mirror with him. Now it seemed that this mirror really saved his life.
However, he only had one mirror with him. If He Yiming activated the North Sea Aurora again, he really would not be able to resist it.
Taking a deep breath, Zhan Xuan suddenly yelled at the top of his lungs, "Help!"
His shrill voice broke the silence of the night and quickly spread out in the mountains of the Blessed Enclave.
As the figures flashed, two rays of light soared into the sky and approached as if they were flying.
In just a moment, He Yiming stopped in his tracks because he had already seen that Zhan Xuan, Fan Shuo, Si Mabin, and the others had already gathered together.
The result of his assassination this time was a complete failure.
