Chapter 528 – The Wilds! (2/2)

Yang Ye nodded. Since Luo Jun could become the Mortal Emperor, he would naturally not think that Luo Jun was a weakling.

Right at this moment, An Nanjing suddenly vanished on the spot, and then a ray of golden light stabbed straight at Yang Ye.

The expressions of Yin Xuan’er and the others changed drastically as they hadn’t expected that An Nanjing would actually launch a sudden attack, and her speed was too swift. She’d just moved a moment ago yet was already in front of Yang Ye, so they couldn’t interfere at all.

Yang Ye’s eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the tip of Skysplit stabbing swiftly towards his chest. In the next moment, it stabbed straight through ‘Yang Ye’s’ chest. However, it was only an afterimage. A wisp of surprise flashed through An Nanjing’s eyes, and then she spun her spear swiftly and stabbed it backward.

Clang!

The tip of her sword collided with the tip of Yang Ye’s sword.

Clang!

s.p.a.ce trembled violently.

An Nanjing withdrew her spear, and then turned around to gaze at Yang Ye as she said, “So that’s how it is. I thought that you were still at the Spirit Realm, but I never expected that you would have actually advanced so quickly.”

“What would you do if I were still at the Spirit Realm?” asked Yang Ye.

“I’d send you back to the southern territory!” An Nanjing said, “However, it isn’t necessary now. Because I’m unable to send you back there when there isn’t a gap between our realms of cultivation.”

Yang Ye smiled bitterly. He hadn’t expected that An Nanjing would have actually been planning to do that. Fortunately, I’ve attained the Exalt Realm, otherwise, I would probably have been sent back to the southern territory by her. After all, he wasn’t the slightest bit confident in his ability to surmount a realm of cultivation and defeat An Nanjing.

An Nanjing glanced at Yin Xuan’er, Lu Jianyao, and the others, and then she said, “All of you are too weak!” She turned around and left once she finished speaking.

Lu Jianyao was almost overwhelmed with rage. She’s going too far!

The expression on Yin Xuan’er’s face was quite unsightly as well because it was the first time someone had said that to her face. Most importantly, she wasn’t able to refute it.

Yin Xuan’er suddenly said, “Let’s split up!”

“Why?” asked Yang Ye. Is this woman really feeling a sense of low self esteem because of what An Nanjing said?

Yin Xuan’er said, “Luo Jun will definitely target us if we go with you, and we’ll be in a very bad situation if we’re targeted by him with the strengths we possess. If we split up, then he’ll only target you. In that way, their gazes would be gathered on you, and it would allow us to do many things.”

Yang Ye thought for a moment and said, “Alright. I can act as I please as well if he only targets me. All of you be careful. It shouldn’t be a problem to protect yourselves with the strengths all of you possess.” He hadn’t forgotten that Yin Xuan’er had 12 gold guards.

Yang Ye gazed at Lu Jianyao, and then he said, “Don’t run around on your own. With the strength you possess, others will treat you like a plump sheep that’s ready for the taking in the Saint Ruins. Follow Miss Xuan’er well and don’t act willfully. If you don’t promise me this, then I’ll knock you out right now and make someone send you back to the southern territory.”

Lu Jianyao glanced at Yin Xuan’er. She was slightly unwilling to follow this woman, but she didn’t dare disobey Yang Ye. She knew that this fellow before her would definitely do as he’d said, so she had no choice but to nod to him.

Yang Ye gazed at Yin Xuan’er when he saw Lu Jianyao nod, and he said, “Miss Xuan’er, I’ll be troubling you with taking care of her.”

They were about to part ways, so Yin Xuan’er didn’t have the mood to joke around as well. She immediately nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let her die in the Saint Ruins!”

Lu Jianyao was instantly infuriated when she heard this, and she glared angrily at Yin Xuan’er.

Yang Ye shook his head, and then his figure flashed and vanished on the spot.

“He’s rather concerned about you, huh!?” Yin Xuan’er spoke abruptly after she watched Yang Ye leave.

“What? Are you jealous?” Lu Jianyao wanted to infuriate Yin Xuan’er.

Yin Xuan’er chuckled lightly and said, “You really are a little girl. No wonder that he wanted me to take care of you before he left.”

“What are you trying to say!?” Lu Jianyao hated it the most when others said that she was immature.

Yin Xuan’er shook her head, paid no further attention to Lu Jianyao, and shot her gaze towards the distance. The wilds was in the direction of her gaze, and it was also where the ruins left behind by Saint Liu Yun resided. She was very clearly aware of what would be waiting for Yang Ye. Luo Jun had 15 Exalt Realm experts by his side in the open, but what about those who were hiding in the shadows? She didn’t believe that Luo Jun only brought such a small number of experts with him!

Yin Xuan’er remained silent for a short while before she said, “Let’s go!”

...

Yang Ye had just walked out of the Desert of Exile when 3 Exalt Realm experts were blocking his path.

“You’re Yang Ye? As expected of the Sword Emperor, you dared to traverse the Desert of Exile while only at the Spirit Realm, and you even succeeded. Oh, right. I forgot our introductions. We three brothers are profounders of the central territory, and we’re called the 3 outstanding geniuses of the central territory. We came here to look for you because we heard that your head is very valuable, and we just happen to be in need of money as well. Why don’t you do us a favor and lend us your head?” The middle aged man who was in the lead of the group chuckled as he spoke.

Yang Ye glanced at him and said, “Who do you think you are?”

The middle aged man’s expression became ferocious as he said, “You’re courting death!”
