Chapter 379.3 (2/2)

Among the cultivators who were waiting for him, there was even the head of the Ximen Aristocratic Family, Ximen Feng!

He was a True Immortal Realm old monster and also the father of Ximen Ye.

Looking at the entrance of the stone chamber, the eyes of Ximen Ye’s father were filled with pride and contentment. He had nine sons in total and Ximen Ye was doubtlessly the most outstanding one. Moreover, Ximen Ye had even become one of the Four Sons of the Northern Heaven and people even addressed him as Emperor Xi.

It was conceivable that tens of thousands of years later, Ximen Ye would definitely be the next True Immortal Realm expert in the family, the next head of the Ximen Aristocratic Family.

“Hehe. Master really has a great son, just like the saying which goes: A tiger father will not beget a dog son. Young Master Ye has already attained the Void Fragmentation Realm at just two thousand years old. In the entire Northern Heaven, he is one of very few prodigies.

“You flatter me.” Ximen Feng nodded his head with pleasure. He felt deeply satisfied by the compliments and praises from everyone.

“I heard that Young Master Ye has split a part of his soul and descended to the mortal world to seize the fourth mistress of the Lost World Palace. Will something happen down there?”

“My son has just descended onto the Rain World. What kind of thing will happen to him?” Ximen Feng replied with a displeased tone.

“No no no. Master has misunderstood my words. What I meant is whether something will happen to the others there or not. Not Young Master Ye. I’m just worried that too many people will perish by Young Master Ye’s hands as he is too strong. How could anything happen to him…?”

“Haha! Well said. Only the people there will probably meet some problems or mishaps. How could my son face any problems? It doesn’t matter how many people of the Rain World die. They are merely ants of the mortal world. As long as Ye Er (Ye Er 夜儿 is an affectionate way to call Ximen Ye which his father uses) is happy, he can simply kill as many as he wants.” Ximen Feng casually spoke.

*Boom*

In the midst of their conversation, the stone chamber suddenly gave out a loud bang. The door of the chamber broke into pieces!

In the middle of the stone fragments and thick dust, Ximen Ye walked out of the chamber wearing a set of black robes. A stream of fresh blood could be seen flowing from a corner of his mouth. His eyes were also cold. When he had walked three steps away from the stone chamber, he suddenly coughed out blood violently and one of his knees fell to the ground.

That shocked countless cultivators of the Ximen Aristocratic Family.

“What happened?! Could it be that Young Master Ye has failed in comprehending his bottleneck?! But it is impossible to cause such a serious backlash on him. Why would Young Master Ye suffer such grievous injuries?!”

“Shut up! Ye Er wasn’t wounded by anybody but himself!”

Ximen Feng’s eyes shone with a cold light. He clearly noticed the palm imprint on Ximen Ye’s forehead. It could not be wrong. That palm imprint was left by the Great Void Palm, the unique technique of the Ximen Family which was inherited from generation to generation.

Judging from the palm imprint, it was not directly struck on his forehead but his separated soul which caused his true body to be injured.

According to Ximen Feng’s experience throughout his years of cultivation, he knew at first glance that the reason why Ximen Ye wounded himself was because something had happened to his clone in the mortal world which forced him to destroy his own separated soul.

He then spread his spirit sense and scanned across the ancestral shrine. After discovering that none of the life plates of the cultivators who followed Ximen Ye to the mortal world was broken, he felt rather curious.

Could it be that Ximen Ye has lost a fight against someone else and destroyed his own separated soul out of embarrassment?

This is the only possible explanation. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the 48 Divine Transformation Realm cultivators who were sent to protect him to take no action when he was hurt. They would have fought his enemy to death before he was even wounded.

As the saying goes, no one understands one’s son better than his own father. Ximen Feng had already figured out what had mainly happened to his son.

“Was your clone defeated by a Void Refinement Realm expert?” Ximen Feng inwardly sighed. If Ximen Ye’s Divine Transformation Realm clone lost to a Void Refinement Realm cultivator, he still had his ways to console him.

“No. He is… a Peak Divine Transformation Realm cultivator…” Ximen Ye said grudgingly. After his clone died, all of its memories were transferred back to his main body using a strange ability.

“What?! You, a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm clone, lost to a Peak Divine Transformation Realm cultivator of the mortal world? How is that possible?!” Ximen Feng’s expression was filled with surprise. He, of course, knew the potential and capabilities of his own son very well. There was not a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator of the Northern Heaven who could defeat Ximen Ye’s clone, much less the mortal world.

However, when he saw the resentful look on Ximen Ye’s face, he knew that his son was not lying. If he did not lose to a person who had a lower cultivation realm than him, he would definitely not harbor such resentment.

“Who was he? Do you need Father to send people after him…?”

“No need. I want to wait for him to attain the Void Fragmentation Realm and then I will fight him once more! His name is Zhou… Ming…”

Ximen Ye clenched his teeth in hatred. Then, his vision went white and he passed out on the ground.

On the same day, the Ximen Aristocratic Family boiled in anger because of a single person – Zhou Ming!

However, Ximen Feng kept to Ximen Ye’s words and did not send anyone to the mortal world to hunt Ning Fan down.

He understood his own son.

Ximen Ye was too arrogant. He had to fight Ning Fan fair and square and destroy him with his own hands. Otherwise, everything would be meaningless to him.

Countless cultivators of the Ximen Family discussed animatedly among themselves. The topic of their discussions was naturally the defeat of Ximen Ye’s clone.

“At first, there is an outstanding person called Lu Bei in the Rain World. Now, there is Zhou Ming… Apparently, there are several extraordinary cultivators among the geniuses of the mortal world.

“Even Emperor Xi was also defeated by a genius of the mortal world. *clicks tongue* This Zhou Ming is really terrifying. If he has another one thousand years, perhaps he will really become a person of renown…”
