Xia Jiulong stood on the Eight Faces Mountain, his eyes and ears alert. Spies constantly came to report to him.
"Your Highness, Viper is missing. Please take action personally."
"Your Highness, Viper has changed his route. We don't know where he is now. Please make a decision."
Xia Jiulong did not move as he listened to the messages.
"Inform all the troops not to make any moves. Tell them to wait here. Ye Qinghan will come. He just wants me to leave. I can see through these little tricks," Xia Jiulong said calmly.
The spies left, leaving Xia Jiulong alone on the Eight Faces Mountain, waiting silently.
Shang Jingwen, a true disciple of the Holy Land of Xixiang, appeared quietly. He looked at Xia Jiulong's back and said calmly, "Your Highness, do you need my help?"
Xia Jiulong turned his head indifferently and looked at Shang Jingwen. He nodded and said, "Jingwen, go to the Xixiang Canyon and block Ye Qinghan's last escape route. If you can block it, I will owe you a favor."
A confident smile appeared on Shang Jingwen's jade-like face. He could be considered a veteran master and was close to becoming a third-rate master of the Legendary level, second only to Fanyin. His true strength was on par with the current Ye Qinghan.
"Your Highness, don't worry. I'm no match for you, but how can I not defeat the leader of a small sect that appeared out of nowhere? No matter how talented someone from a remote village is, he can't withstand a single blow, "Shang Jingwen said calmly.
Xia Jiulong snorted coldly in his heart. He did not tell Shang Jingwen about Ye Qinghan's current identity. After all, the Grandmaster Grand Sage had not announced it to the world. The only ones who knew about Ye Qinghan's identity were Fan Yin, the Heads of the Top Three Schools, and the Master of the Yunlong House.
…
At this moment, Ye Qinghan was leisurely walking through the valley, avoiding the Blood-Robed Guards. He also had to control his direction well. He gradually entered a forest. This was still the hinterland of the Sky Reaching Church, so the Blood-Robed Guards didn't dare to be too high-profile.
After traveling for two months, he entered the border area of the Sky Reaching Church. The ruins of the Emperor's sect were in the northwest, and the Holy Land of Xixiang was in the southwest.
Ye Qinghan checked the direction, then entered the mysterious and lofty mountainous area of the Holy Land of Xixiang.
Upon entering the mountains, Ye Qinghan could sense the killing intent in this place. The Blood-Robed Guard was much more active than the Sky Reaching Church.
Whoosh!
Ye Qinghan revealed the musline-like gloves. The power gathered was extremely fast, and it could multiply his strength by several times. Even though it was just a layer of musline-like gloves, it could actually block 60% of the attack power of an expert of Wen Xu's level.
Bang bang bang!
Ye Qinghan's fists collided a few times and his body swayed. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Since you want to play, I'll play along with you. Let's see how many Blood-Robed Guards there are for me to kill." Ye Qinghan sneered as he charged into the distance.
In front of him, there were five or six middle-aged experts dressed like adventurers. They were sitting in the valley and talking with fervor. They were also talking about their experiences of adventuring. Their cultivations were uneven. Two of them were at the lower level, one was at the middle level, and the other two were at the upper level. Their auras were restrained. They were definitely experts.
Ye Qinghan stared at them from afar. After observing them for a while, he smiled and said, "If you are really adventurers, why don't you stay vigilant? There are many powerful fierce beasts in this place. "
Crack!
Ye Qinghan clenched his iron fists and restrained his aura. He pretended as if nothing had happened and walked toward those people.
In the morning, the mountain was filled with fog, and the sunlight was blocked. The visibility was not high, only about 30 to 50 meters.
Ye Qinghan hummed a little tune. With an innocent face, he quickly approached those five or six 'adventurers'.
Whoosh!
As soon as the five or six adventurers saw someone approaching, they quickly pressed their hands on the divine swords beside them. However, the expressions of the two powerful upper level Blood-Robed Guards changed. They signaled everyone to calm down. Then, the two upper level Blood-Robed Guards looked at each other and slowly sat down as if they had not seen Ye Qinghan.
Ye Qinghan stepped into the valley, cupped his fists, and said with a smile, "Fellow Adventurers, I am a new disciple of the Sky Piercing School. I have come to this mountain area to look for some medicinal herbs. I wonder if you can take me along? I am willing to share 30% of the things I obtain with you."
The five experts were very calm. However, the two in the lead quickly showed a happy expression. They cupped their fists and said, "So it is an outstanding disciple of the Sky Piercing School. We are honored to show you the way!"
Ye Qinghan looked at the five people's expressions and said inwardly, "Their reflexes are too slow. If they were really adventurers, they would have stood up and greeted me. After all, an outstanding disciple of the Sky Piercing School is the same as an imperial family of a holy empire! Who wouldn't want to curry favor with them? "
However, Ye Qinghan did not expose them. He could use them to find out Xia Jiulong's real location.
"Then I will have to trouble you, Fellow Daoists. I wonder if there are any dangerous places with more spiritual herbs nearby?" Ye Qinghan asked.
This old man has been adventuring in this place for many years, so I am very familiar with this place. If you want to talk about the place with the most treasures, then there is Eight Faces Mountain. The mountain path there is rugged and steep, and there are the most ferocious beasts there. Moreover, they are all very powerful. Ordinary people don't dare to enter this place. Therefore, the sacred herbs there are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old. If you are lucky, it is not impossible to come across a hundred-thousand-year-old sacred herb. "
Ye Qinghan pretended to be overjoyed. However, he already understood that even if Xia Jiulong was not at Eight Face Mountain, there must be many experts lying in ambush nearby. Now, all he had to do was close the door and attack.
'How can I kill two Upper Level experts in the shortest time possible without giving them a chance to retaliate?' Ye Qinghan thought to himself as he stared at the positions of the five people. They were standing in a position where they could help each other and react in an instant. It was impossible to ambush them. After all, Upper Level experts were Upper Level experts. The difference between them and ordinary Middle Level experts was more than a hundred times. Even for an outstanding expert like himself, there was still a difference of two or three times.
"Fellow Daoists, please lead the way! If I obtain a ten-thousand-year-old sacred herb, I will definitely reward you handsomely, "Ye Qinghan said as he cupped his fists.
The five of them gripped their swords even tighter, but the two upper level experts' expressions were very natural. Their eyes signaled the other three Blood-Robed Guards to lead the way, while the two upper level experts spread out and surrounded Ye Qinghan from the left and right, trapping him in the middle.
Ye Qinghan pretended not to know and silently followed them. As they walked towards Eight Face Mountain, he was quickly calculating in his mind.
'With the support of the Eternal Sacred Weapon, my combat power should be comparable to a true Upper Level expert. If I attack them head-on, I can kill these five people. However, my position will definitely be exposed. Therefore, I can only use my wits and kill these two Upper Level experts first.' Ye Qinghan thought silently. He slowly released the Star-twining Vine and slowed it down, closing the distance between him and the two Upper Level experts.
