Chapter 24.1 (2/2)

Although He Yiming had not spoken a word to Xie Mingjin in their presence, these old foxes had attained an extremely high level in measuring someone from their actions and expressions. While leaving, He Yiming’s action of specifically nodding at Xie Mingjin had not gone unchecked past them.

Xie Mingjin faintly started, then silently nodded and said, “Yes, elder uncle.”

His eyes brimmed with emotions. Although he was certain that He Yiming would have sooner or later advanced to the Xiantian realm, he never expected it would be so soon.

As he thought about their ages being similar but their strengths being so far apart, even though his temperament was straightforward, he couldn’t help but feel a loss inside him.

He Yiming’s figure moved towards the Xie Mansion’s main entrance like lightning. His speed was simply beyond an ordinary person.

Entering the Xiantian realm not only meant a qualitative improvement in his Internal Energy, turning it into Xiantian True Qi, which could communicate with the energies in the external world, even his physical body had also gained an unimaginable improvement in every aspect, at its essence.

Although he seemed to be leisurely walking in a garden, his speed was as such that even if people saw him, they only felt their eyes blurring.

In a few moments, he’d already arrived at the Xie family’s main entrance. Currently, the main entrance was already opened, and about two hundred armored men were standing outside. Their figures stood as straight as a mountain; their whole body exuding a grave, dangerous aura.

He Yiming could tell at a glance that they were all cultivators of sixth layer or above.

He didn’t need to ask anyone to ascertain that these men were protectors of that prince, Ting Brightriver.

His heart slightly trembled. In speaking, fifth layer and sixth layer only had a difference of one layer. However, the absolute majority of cultivators remained stuck on this junction for their entire lives.

Although with the prince’s strength, he wouldn’t be lacking in attendants and spongers of seventh layer or eighth layer, but even his guards were all sixth layer cultivators. This was simply too much of an exaggeration.

He pondered for a bit before slowing down, stopping beside the troops.

The two guards before him were standing perfectly straight. A person suddenly appeared before them out of nowhere. Even with their ability, they had not been able to discover a clue about this person’s appearance.

Under the many years of arduous training, they involuntarily reacted by taking out their swords while shouting, “Who?”

Their reaction immediately startled the entire troops, immediately attracting several tens of sharp, ferocious gazes.

He Yiming proudly laughed. Without paying any attention, he made a big motion of flicking his sleeves and left. However, this time, he didn’t leave quickly. Instead, he left at a pace of an ordinary person, under the vision of the troops.

The complexions of those guards transformed. Although they didn’t run amok in Downwind city, they had never been ignored so thoroughly by anybody.

However, for better or worse, they remembered that they were in front of the entrance of Xie Mansion. Although they felt quite furious inwardly, they didn’t dare create a scene.

In the middle was a palanquin sustained by sixteen big men. Every one of these men were tall and st.u.r.dy, seeming like iron towers. Even under the current situation, they didn’t even budge and stood upright before the palanquin.

Suddenly, the door of the palanquin opened, and a man wearing a fancy gown walked out.

As soon as this man walked out, all the surrounding people showed exceedingly respectful expressions.

He asked in a relaxed voice, “What’s the fuss about?”
