40: Chapter 40 Weapons Cease 40: Chapter 40 Weapons Cease “Even though the Heavenly Punishment Spear has left, this venerable presence remains here; none of you shall escape,” the phantom bellowed with dignity. As its fingers moved, runes filled the sky, sealing the shattered spatial barriers and blocking the path of these blood-colored beings. “Primordial Spirit, you are merely an Artifact Spirit from the Undying Immortal Scripture; do you really think you can trap us?” Countless Blood Shadows roared furiously, unleashing terrifying Slaughter Techniques that directly struck the sealed spatial barriers, causing them to shatter once again. “I am the Artifact Spirit of the Undying Immortal Scripture, destined to eternally guard the Ancient Battlefield.” The phantom roared repeatedly, radiating a horrific glow until the light receded and the phantom transformed into the physical embodiment of the Undying Immortal Scripture, using its body to block the broken spatial barriers once more. “Cackle, cackle, cackle!” “Primordial Spirit, even if you use your physical form to seal the spatial rifts, we do not believe that you can maintain this indefinitely. Once your Primordial Qi is exhausted, it will be our time to leave this place.” Countless Blood Shadows laughed wildly, scattering in different directions, while the mutant beasts on both shores of the Blood Sea howled continuously, causing the entire Blood Sea Battlefield to tremble violently. “Ye Xuan! You bastard, as the Heavenly Punishment Halberd sought you out, these beings escaped their seals. If the Earth Immortal Realm becomes aware of the situation here, not only will I die, but you will also face a severe life-threatening calamity.” The physical manifestation of the Undying Immortal Scripture roared repeatedly. Clearly, today’s startling event was caused by Ye Xuan; when Ye Xuan transformed into the Undying Venerable, the Heavenly Punishment Halberd, fearing for its master’s safety, broke through the Blood Sea Battlefield to locate him. The Heavenly Punishment Halberd is an instrument that suppresses the Blood Sea Battlefield. Without it, the sealed blood-colored beings would certainly escape to the outside world, causing vast turmoil. The phantom was not concerned about the lives of ordinary people in the outside world, but rather feared that this incident could draw the attention of the Earth Immortal Realm. If the event unfolded, both he and Ye Xuan would face a great calamity. ... In the Ye Family’s courtyard. The Bloodthirsty Demon Sword hummed ceaselessly. The Wu’an Office chief was resigned to his fate, but just at this critical moment, a frantic voice traveled from afar, accompanied by the arrival of over a hundred figures rushing towards the Ye Family courtyard. “Mr. Ye, please hold your hand.” Even before the Azure Dragon arrived, his voice reached Ye Xuan’s ears, causing Ye Xuan to frown slightly, and the Bloodthirsty Demon Sword paused at that moment. The Azure Dragon, leader of the Earth Group, held great power within the Wu’an Office. When news of the events at the Ye Family was relayed to him, he realized the gravity of the situation and hurried with his Earth Group members toward the Ye Family. “Mr. Ye, please quell your thunderous rage. Today’s incident is merely a misunderstanding, and I will surely provide a satisfactory explanation,” Azure Dragon said as he quickly approached and bowed deeply before Ye Xuan. Such a scene caused the Wu’an Office chief to be stunned in his place, and members of both Xuanhuang Groups displayed confusion, but most shocked of all were the members of the Ye Family and Xia Qingzhu. The people present were no fools; the chief of the Earth Group of the Wu’an Office, bowing deeply to Ye Xuan, revealed that there might be secrets beyond their imagination involved in this affair. “Azure Dragon, have you lost your mind?” The Wu’an Office chief was the first to recover his senses and furiously rebuked Azure Dragon, “This man has killed over a hundred lives, having crossed the line for our Xia Country. Are you trying to save him?” “Yes, Azure Dragon, this person’s cultivation is terrifying indeed, but he has committed a major taboo of the Wu’an Office.” Some members of the Wu’an Office whispered. “Save him?” Upon hearing the admonishing words of the head of the Wu’an Office, a bitter smile appeared on Azure Dragon’s face as he internally blamed the head of the Wu’an Office. How was he attempting to save Ye Xuan? He was actually trying to save your life now. Azure Dragon’s expression gradually turned icy as he directly addressed the head of the Wu’an Office, “Sir, Mr. Ye is a Guest Elder of our Earth Group. The actions he took today are because our Earth Group received information that the Ye Family is colluding with a foreign terrorist organization, intending to harm the interests of Xia Country. Mr. Ye’s actions today were also under the directive of our Earth Group. How can you speak of crossing the nation’s bottom line?” As Azure Dragon’s words fell, the head of the Wu’an Office’s eyes widened in disbelief. Anyone could see that Azure Dragon was blatantly fabricating stories. “Azure Dragon, how dare you slander our Ye Family?” Ye Canghai’s expression changed dramatically as he angrily rebuked him. “Hmph!” Azure Dragon scornfully snorted, “Whether it is slander or not is not for you to decide. Others may fear the Ye Family, but my line of Azure Dragon has endured countless trials and tribulations since the founding of our country. If I truly find out that your Ye Family is colluding with foreign terrorist organizations, no one in Xia Country can save you.” Azure Dragon’s voice was resolute, making it clear to Ye Canghai: what can you do to me if I am slandering your Ye Family? The head of the Wu’an Office might seem to have great authority, with eight group leaders under his command, but this was merely a nominal relationship. The real leaders who controlled the members of the eight groups were the group leaders themselves. Each group leader inherited a lineage that had been passed down since the founding of the country, while the head of the Wu’an Office was merely a link for conveying orders from above. “Azure Dragon, you owe me an explanation for today’s incident,” the head of the Wu’an Office stated gravely. “Mr. Ye is a Guest Elder of our Earth Group. I will report this matter directly to the higher-ups, so there’s no need for the head to worry,” Azure Dragon stated indifferently, clearly protecting Ye Xuan. In fact, if it had been anyone else, Azure Dragon wouldn’t want to fall out with the head of the Wu’an Office and the Ye Family. But when Azure Dragon learned that Ye Xuan had saved everyone on the plane, he knew that no matter what, he had to tightly bind Ye Xuan to the Earth Group. Moreover, Azure Dragon was certain that when the higher-ups received the news, their attitude towards Ye Xuan would undergo a massive change. Not just killing some members of the Ye Family, even if more excessive actions were taken, they would likely turn a blind eye. “Very well, very well, I didn’t expect that after I stepped down from that position, even the Earth Group would dare to trample on the Ye Family. I will remember today’s incident,” Ye Canghai said with an embarrassed and angry expression, then turned and walked towards the inner hall. Ye Canghao and Ye Ping glanced at Ye Xuan with complex expressions and didn’t linger, promptly leaving the place of dispute. “Mr. Ye, let me escort you back,” Azure Dragon said with a slight smile. A great slaughter had been avoided, and everything Azure Dragon did was seen by Ye Xuan, who kept his expression neutral, though a mysterious look flashed in his eyes. In truth, had Azure Dragon not appeared, Ye Xuan, having already forsaken all considerations in his reckless state, would have transformed into the Undying Venerate and killed everyone present. Afterwards, he would have let the world know of his identity as a Cultivator, already having plans to face the whole world. However, the emergence of Azure Dragon reversed the situation, and Ye Xuan acted accordingly, quietly retreating from his killing intent. After all, his mother and sister were still at home. If his true identity were to be revealed to the world, his family might become the focus of public attention, which was the last thing Ye Xuan wanted to see.
