Chapter 166 - 165: The Body of a Youngster, The Nature of an Old Demon Heart

Chapter 166: Chapter 165: The Body of a Youngster, The Nature of an Old Demon HeartFeeling the gazes attacking him, Hong Yunlie’s face reddened as he was suppressed on the ground. He was a generation’s State Preceptor of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country, and the current headmaster of the Lie Tian Academy, holding an extremely important position throughout the Lie Tian Heavenly Country. Yet now, he was like a monkey being watched by people, which filled him with shame and indignation. But the injury sustained by the old ancestor Hua Tianqiong made him realize that this time, the hope of depending on his old ancestor to get him out was completely impossible. The old ancestor Zhou Chaolong of the opposing side could suppress his old ancestor Hua Tianqiong, and facing him head-on was simply seeking death. However, the idea of handing over the Imperial Extreme Emperor Dao Scroll was something he found difficult to accept. Once handed over, he would also be unable to explain to the Emperor. Moreover, his reputation would be completely swept away. "Not speaking?" Ye Xuan saw that Hong Yunlie remained silent and stepped towards him. "What are you doing?!" The other two vice headmasters of the Lie Tian Academy changed their expressions upon seeing this. "Thinking of interfering?" Qiu Wenhan and Lu Chengde blocked the two men, their eyes unfriendly. This made the two vice headmasters look embarrassed, yet they were also helpless. At the moment, even the old ancestor couldn’t break the situation; what could they do? "Ye Xuan, what intend you to do?" Seeing Ye Xuan slowly approaching, Hong Yunlie’s face turned ugly as he spoke in a deep voice. Everyone also looked at Ye Xuan, unsure of what he was going to do. Ye Xuan ignored Hong Yunlie, slowly walking up to him. Since Hong Yunlie was pressed against the ground, he couldn’t see Ye Xuan’s expression at this moment. But then, Hong Yunlie’s entire body stiffened, a surge of humiliation flooding his heart, nearly driving him to despair! "Ye Xuan!" Hong Yunlie let out a deep, furious roar, his eyes turning red. This Ye Xuan was actually stepping on his face with one foot! The most critical aspect was that with the suppression of the old ancestor Zhou Chaolong from the Emperor Immortal Sect, he couldn’t move at all! He could only let Ye Xuan’s foot remain on his face. "This!?" All around, everyone was shocked. Searᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "The, the senior brother is stepping on the face of the State Preceptor of Lie Tian Heavenly Country?!" Zhu Xiaofei was at a loss for words. All were astonished to the extreme. Ye Xuan was actually stepping on Hong Yunlie’s face?! To know, Hong Yunlie was a generation’s State Preceptor of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country and the headmaster of Lie Tian Academy, a position of high honor. In the Lie Tian Heavenly Country, Hong Yunlie was regarded as being above tens of thousands of people. In the entire Lie Tian Heavenly Country, only the Emperor could command him. Such an existence, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?! The students of the Lie Tian Academy were all dumbstruck. Immediately after, a wave of humiliation surged in their hearts. This detestable fellow, daring to humiliate their headmaster like this! "This detestable fellow! I will kill you!" a student from the Lie Tian Academy roared furiously, with eyes wide and angry. Not to mention them, even Zhou Chaolong, Zhou Zihuang, and others didn’t expect Ye Xuan to act this way, momentarily failing to react. "What do you mean by this!?" Seeing this spectacle, Hua Tianqiong’s face instantly darkened. No matter what, Hong Yunlie sometimes represented the Lie Tian Heavenly Country, and Ye Xuan’s action, while ostensibly stepping on Hong Yunlie’s face, was in fact stepping on the face of the entire Lie Tian Heavenly Country. As the old ancestor of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country, the anger in his heart was already forming a fierce blaze, seeking to burn someone to ashes. But after being duped twice, Hua Tianqiong could only suppress the rage in his heart and, watching Ye Xuan, asked sternly. "I want to see if your generation’s State Preceptor of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country is worth you handing over the Imperial Extreme Emperor Dao Scroll." Ye Xuan stepped on Hong Yunlie’s face, speaking indifferently. "You might as well kill me!" Hong Yunlie’s eyes were full of splits, burning with anger. What a humiliating ordeal! Ye Xuan smiled slightly, his face harmlessly saying, "Killing you isn’t out of the question, but the Imperial Extreme Emperor Dao Scroll will still have to be handed over by the Lie Tian Heavenly Country, and furthermore, there’s no need for the existence of Lie Tian Heavenly Country." As he spoke, Ye Xuan gradually increased the force on his foot. Hong Yunlie felt as if his face would be flattened, but the torment in his heart was far sharper than the physical pain. "Wait!" Seeing this, Hua Tianqiong’s eyelids jumped, immediately stopping Ye Xuan. After all, Hong Yunlie was the State Preceptor and the headmaster of the Lie Tian Academy of the Lie Tian Heavenly Country. His death would have a huge impact on the Lie Tian Heavenly Country. Moreover, he had seen it clearly now. The Imperial Extreme Emperor Dao Scroll was indeed Hong Yunlie’s bet. However, at this exchange conference, Lie Tian Academy did indeed lose. Even their alliance with the three great cultivation sacred lands failed as well. The victor becomes the king, the vanquished the villain, there’s nothing more to say. The most critical point is that Emperor Immortal Sect holds the power of Lie Tian Ancestor Temple in its hands. If they truly enraged Emperor Immortal Sect, it’s possible that the Sect could indeed destroy Lie Tian Heavenly Country. With this thought in mind, Hua Tianqiong softly said, "The seat of the Imperial Extreme Emperor Dao will be sent to you soon. May I know if your sect has any other demands?" "Elder ancestor!" Seeing Hua Tianqiong agree, Hong Yunlie immediately let out an anxious roar. Crack! Then, Ye Xuan directly stomped on Hong Yunlie’s jaw, shattering it and preventing him from speaking. This scene chilled everyone to the bone. Ye Xuan was completely a demon incarnate! Ruthless and cruel. He didn’t resemble a sixteen-year-old boy at all. Instead, he was like an old demon who had killed countless people! "Still somewhat smart," said Ye Xuan indifferently as he looked at Hua Tianqiong. "As for other demands, first, send ten thousand high-grade demon beast skins to Emperor Immortal Sect. They must be at least of the fifth rank, with no fewer than one hundred of seventh rank and above." "What the fuck?!" This demand by Ye Xuan took everyone from Emperor Immortal Sect by surprise. Ten thousand high-grade demon beast skins. How much would that be worth in spirit stones?! And they all had to be at least fifth rank, with no fewer than one hundred of seventh rank and above! That was terrifying! Demon beast skin was always considered the best material for creating Spirit Array Diagrams, beloved by Spirit Array Masters. This move by Ye Xuan was clearly intended to benefit the Spirit Array Palace of Emperor Immortal Sect. "This guy..." Even Zhou Chaolong, the ancient elder of Emperor Immortal Sect, couldn’t help shaking his head and chuckling, shocked by Ye Xuan’s audacious demand. However, if this guy was seeking benefits for Emperor Immortal Sect, no matter how outrageous his demands, Zhou Chaolong felt they were justified. After all, they were their own people. "This..." The people from Lie Tian Academy were at a loss, stunned by the demands Ye Xuan made. Beneath Ye Xuan’s foot, Hong Yunlie was furious but helpless. Hua Tianqiong’s expression grew solemn. After contemplating for a moment and without further words, he nodded and said, "Alright." He could sense the murderous intent radiating from Ye Xuan. He was sure that if he refused, Ye Xuan would first kill Hong Yunlie and then allow the people of Emperor Immortal Sect to attack Lie Tian Heavenly Country. That was why he dared not offer any excuses. "Additionally, give three Red Iron Ore mines near Emperor Immortal Sect and ten top-tier melting furnaces." Ye Xuan followed up. Everyone discreetly gasped. Red Iron Ore was a resource necessary for artifact refining. The value of one Red Iron Ore mine was definitely over a billion spirit stones! And while the top-tier melting furnaces might not be as precious as Red Iron Ore, they were still extremely valuable to Artifact Refiners. "Ye Xuan, our sect doesn’t have an Artifact Refining Hall," Zhou Zihuang quietly whispered to Ye Xuan as a reminder. Although the demands made by Ye Xuan would greatly benefit Emperor Immortal Sect, its Artifact Refining Hall had been closed for many years. Even if they obtained these resources, they would have to use the Red Iron Ore and melting furnaces to trade for other resources. Ye Xuan slightly shook his head and said, "After all, it needs to be restarted. The supply of artifacts for Emperor Immortal Sect cannot always depend on others." Zhou Zihuang was suddenly taken aback and squinted at Ye Xuan, slightly amazed. Ye Xuan could use voice transmission too?! Ye Xuan’s cultivation realm was only at the Divine Gate level, and achieving voice transmission required at least the rank of a Prince! Zhou Zihuang was filled with doubt. But then again, he felt relieved. Ye Xuan had created too many miracles. For him, such a feat seemed just like another ordinary occurrence. Moreover, what Ye Xuan said made sense. The supply of artifacts for Emperor Immortal Sect had always depended on others, actually giving others the opportunity to control the lifeline of Emperor Immortal Sect. If Emperor Immortal Sect could restart the Artifact Refining Hall, it would indeed be a different scene. However... Was it really that easy to restart the Artifact Refining Hall? Artifact Refiners were considered alongside Alchemists, Spirit Array Masters, and Divine Talisman Masters as one of the four major professions. Within Emperor Immortal Sect, there were simply no Artifact Refiners...
