Chapter 257: Chapter 254 RecognitionAs the two of them drew closer, they also discovered that some disciples of the Xuanbing Mansion were watching the battle, seeming to hesitate about whether or not they should take action. "Kid, what happened here?" The woman in hemp clothes asked one of the onlooking disciples. "Greetings to Elder Ning, Junior Sister Nangong." Upon seeing the two of them, the disciple hurriedly bowed in salutation, then carefully said, "It is said that a spy from the Evil Wind Cave Heaven has been discovered. Brother Gu Feiyang is leading the inner mansion disciples to confront him, but they are completely no match for him. Later, several other brothers joined in, but they still couldn’t deal with this person." "A spy from the Evil Wind Cave Heaven?" The girl was stunned for a moment and then looked at the chaotic battle with some surprise. A single spy had actually caused such a commotion; so many disciples couldn’t subdue the opponent. Even though Gu Feiyang was among the top ten disciples of the inner mansion, how could he not capture a spy? Moreover, after peering a few times, she noticed that in addition to Gu Feiyang, there was another among the top ten disciples and so many inner mansion disciples, all of whom were unable to handle the spy. "Not good!" Zhuo Qian saw the approach of the girl and her face suddenly changed, then she raised her sword and rushed into the fray. "This is never-ending!" Ye Xuan, surrounded on all sides, was also starting to get impatient. He held his sword with both hands, his mind sinking into the blade, as an astonishing sword strength tore open the layers of obstacles, and his figure leaped into the air. The amazing sword strength engulfed the whole field, and many of the already wounded disciples fainted on the spot. "The Evil Wind Cave Heaven actually sent such a disciple to infiltrate, it seems they have really paid a great price." Seeing so many disciples unable to stop Ye Xuan, the hemp-clothed old woman’s rather withered face turned cold. Suddenly, she raised her finger, and an extremely cold, terrifying fluctuation began to gather at its tip. An icy breath formed into an ice cone pointed towards Ye Xuan’s position, causing the temperature of the surrounding area to plummet abruptly. "This spy is in big trouble now." The girl muttered to herself and then looked at Ye Xuan, who was hovering in mid-air. Her master was a Seventh Grade Martial Sect—bad luck for the spy to be encountered by her. However, as she was about to retract her gaze, she caught a glimpse in the corner of her eye and saw Ye Xuan’s face. The next moment, her delicate body shook violently and her bright eyes stared intently at Ye Xuan. "It’s him!" Joy surged in the girl’s eyes, and when she saw the hemp-clothed old woman’s attack about to be executed, her expression changed immediately. She quickly moved, positioning herself in front of the old woman, "Granny, stop!" "What are you doing?" The hemp-clothed old woman’s pupils contracted, and a look of indignation crossed her face. She was almost at the point of releasing her attack, but upon seeing the girl in front of her, she hurriedly withdrew the attack, narrowly avoiding an accident that could have resulted in a dead body in front of her. How could she not be angry at almost killing her most prized disciple? "It’s him, it’s Brother Ye Xuan!" However, the girl seemed to not hear her scolding, her innocent face only showing ecstasy, even the hemp-clothed old woman seeing her this happy for the first time in two years. "Who is Ye Xuan?" The hemp-clothed old woman paused, the name sounding somewhat familiar. Then, she suddenly remembered, her eyes filling with shock, she exclaimed, "That kid?!" As soon as her voice fell, she immediately looked towards the young figure in mid-air, her gaze landing on his youthful face. It was indeed him! That young man from the Great Xia Kingdom, unexpectedly, had actually come here! She could still vaguely remember Ye Xuan rejecting her Guiyuan Pill, declaring boldly that he would visit the Xuanbing Mansion in three years, as a Martial Sect! Three years had not yet passed, but Ye Xuan’s cultivation had already reached the realm of a Second Grade Martial Sect. She recalled when she first brought back Nangong Yao, her cultivation was only that of a Third Grade Martial Master. In less than three short years, she had cultivated from a Third Grade Martial Master to a Second Grade Martial Sect; such a rate of progress was simply beyond belief. What’s more important was that without the remarkable resources of their Xuanbing Mansion, being able to cultivate to this level in a place like the Tiannan Region could be described with nothing less than the word "stunning." So much time had passed that she had almost forgotten about Ye Xuan, and here he was, appearing at this moment, with so many inner mansion disciples unable to stop him. A complex expression gathered in Granny Ning’s eyes. "I just knew Brother Ye Xuan would definitely come to find me!" Nangong Yao muttered to herself, her little face filled with excitement. Then, with a light step, her delicate body soared upwards gracefully, like a cloud drifting into the midst of the battle. At that moment, Gu Feiyang, Zhuo Qian, and others were still relentlessly attacking Ye Xuan. They couldn’t believe that Ye Xuan had inexhaustible True Qi to keep wearing them down like this. They didn’t know that if Ye Xuan had wanted to kill, the place would already be a river of blood. "Brother Gu, Brother Wang!" Zhuo Qian signaled to Gu Feiyang with a look, then the True Qi in her body revolved at high speed. A layer of white frost seemed to emerge on the surface of her body. With a tremor of her True Qi, ice and snow that exploded in the air converged behind her, spiraling wildly like forming a blizzard. Seeing this, Gu Feiyang and another top ten inner disciples also understood Zhuo Qian’s intention. He too spurred his True Qi, executing the same technique as Zhuo Qian. Ice frost burst forth, continuously compressing. Two astounding blizzards coalesced successfully, emitting extremely cold fluctuations. Waves of chill air swept across the land at a rate visible to the naked eye. "Ice Snow Heaven Assault!" The three all but shouted in unison. Three blizzards, embodying formidable might, swept ferociously towards Ye Xuan, with a terrifying momentum. As the three blizzards merged, their power was so tremendous that even the inner disciples watching felt their heart race with fear, instinctively retreating backward, lest they get caught in the crossfire. Once enveloped, they would likely be frozen into ice sculptures without a chance to escape, perishing from the cold in an instant. Ye Xuan raised his treasured sword, ready to unleash the Human Sword Unity to break through the astonishing onslaught before him. However, before he could act, a somewhat petite figure suddenly appeared in front of him. A pair of small hands pushed forward, the horrible chill contained within the blue True Qi, spreading before her into a wall of ice emanating blue light. Boom! As the blizzard contacted the ice wall, it also exploded thunderously, triggering three blasts. Countless ice crystals from the explosion took various shapes, sending out pulses that fiercely struck the blue ice wall. Yet under such ferocious assault, the blue ice wall stood unyielding, not even a crack appearing. It had incredibly withstood the combined terrifying strike of the three. In Ye Xuan’s eyes, too, a hint of astonishment emerged. Anyone who could so easily withstand such a strike certainly held no ordinary status in Xuanbing Mansion. But that silhouette, why did it look familiar? "Stop it, all of you!" A crisp, stern voice echoed around them. As the aftershocks dispersed, the disciples of Xuanbing Mansion were able to see the one who intervened, their faces lighting up with surprise. "Junior Sister Nangong?" Seeing the pure and delicate young girl’s figure, Gu Feiyang was a bit taken aback, then his expression darkened slightly, "This man is a spy from the Evil Wind Cave Heaven. Why are you saving him?" He was baffled. Why would Nangong Yao intervene against their combined attack? He believed that if Nangong Yao hadn’t taken action, Ye Xuan might already have died by their hands. "Nonsense! I’ll settle the score with you later!" Nangong Yao scolded Gu Feiyang fiercely, her little face looking as cold as ice, causing even Gu Feiyang to feel a chill. However, when Nangong Yao turned back to Ye Xuan, her face once again blossomed into a radiant smile as she excitedly walked over. Phew... Having already guessed that it was Nangong Yao who had stepped in, Ye Xuan also let out a sigh of relief and sheathed his Spiritual Edge Sword. But before he could say anything, the petite figure whipped up a fragrant breeze and flung itself into Ye Xuan’s arms. Seeing this, almost all the Xuanbing Mansion disciples at the scene were rooted to the spot, watching the unbelievable scene before them in disbelief. Undoubtedly, who is Nangong Yao? She’s one of the most outstanding young disciples of Xuanbing Mansion, a prodigious talent with immense potential, not to mention her innocent beauty. All over the Beichen Domain, the young talents who fancied Nangong Yao could probably form a long queue, and until now, she hadn’t shown any signs of affection or interest in anyone. But now, the scene before them shattered their perception. This guy who suddenly appeared, Ye Xuan, had actually received Nangong Yao’s affectionate embrace. Such a scene was something they could only dream of. A thick scent of sourness dispersed in the air, envy filled the eyes of many onlookers. Nangong Yao was now eighteen, no longer the naive little girl she once was. "You’re such a grown-up, how come you still cuddle into someone’s arms so easily?" Ye Xuan patted Nangong Yao’s head. She then released her arms from around Ye Xuan, pouting her lips and said, "I was just too excited to see you." "Even if you’re excited, you should pay attention to the occasion. Did you see those gazes around us? If looks could kill, I’d have been dead at least ten times over by now," Ye Xuan said with a smile. In that brief moment, he must have drawn tons of enmity upon himself.
