Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 665 - 659: Conjecture

Four Alien Clan Half-Saints had all died in the blink of an eye.

Sigh.

Having neatly dealt with the last one, Ye Xuan sat down heavily, taking several deep breaths. After all, the enemies were four Half-Saint powerhouses; ordinary Sixth Grade Martial Venerates would likely have perished long ago. This made him feel a slight fatigue.

"Whoosh!"

Just after Ye Xuan had dealt with the last person, the distant forest suddenly resounded with the sound of air being sliced. Ye Xuan was shocked and quickly grasped his long sword. However, he soon relaxed as he saw the figure of Zuo Shi.

"Ye Xuan!"

Zuo Shi landed in the clearing and immediately saw Ye Xuan covered in blood, her face turning pale with fright as she hurried over.

"This is someone else’s blood, I’m fine."

Ye Xuan waved at her.

Following behind Zuo Shi were the Diancang Sword Saint and Zuo Lingyun, and the three of them also quickly followed. Their faces were filled with tension, and only after seeing that Ye Xuan was still alive did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At that moment, they finally noticed the four corpses on the ground, all startled before looking at Ye Xuan somewhat shaken, "Are these four people dead?"

"They should be dead."

Ye Xuan glanced at the corpses and said indifferently.

The expressions of Zuo Lingyun and the others changed, looking at Ye Xuan with some disbelief, "Did you kill them?"

Ye Xuan spread his hands and looked around, "Is there anyone else here?"

Zuo Lingyun and the others were speechless, looking at Ye Xuan with a somewhat strange gaze. According to what Zuo Shi said, those pursuing them were four Half-Saint level powerhouses, ruthless and experienced. Apart from the Diancang Sword Saint, who could easily eliminate them, perhaps even Zuo Lingyun couldn’t handle them so cleanly. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

But now, Ye Xuan had done it? What means did he use to accomplish this?

"Amazing, kid."

The Diancang Sword Saint was the first to give Ye Xuan a thumbs up, expressing his admiration. Clearly, Ye Xuan accomplishing this with the strength of a Sixth Grade Martial Venerate was quite surprising to him.

Zuo Shi stared at Ye Xuan with her beautiful eyes equally filled with shock. She thought Ye Xuan was in a life-and-death situation, never expecting such an outcome.

"These people are all high-level experts from the Alien Clan, and they came prepared. Have the troubles on your side been resolved?" Ye Xuan looked towards Zuo Lingyun. Previously in the camp, there was a genuine Saint among the enemies.

"Barely repelled them." Zuo Lingyun’s pretty face didn’t look very good, "This night attack came too suddenly, and the enemy was fierce. The casualties among the disciples were severe."

"The other two squads were also ambushed. Mu Yan’s squad was with me, so they suffered the least damage. However, Xiao Lin’s squad suffered even more severe casualties than yours, nearly half of the disciples perished," said the Diancang Sword Saint with a grave expression.

"We really owe it to Ye Xuan for detecting the movements of the Alien Clan in advance. Otherwise, we might not have fared much better than Xiao Lin and his group," Zuo Lingyun couldn’t help but look toward Ye Xuan. She hadn’t noticed the ambush at first. It was only when Ye Xuan was already fighting the enemy that she became aware.

"I find it strange that we had just entered the Demon Ruins. We hadn’t even done anything. How did we provoke the remnants of the Alien Clan?" Zuo Shi frowned.

"Yes, we haven’t offended anyone. Is it just because our Heavenly Martial Holy Land’s reputation in the Central Domain has provoked their hostility?" Zuo Lingyun also wondered.

"Are you sure we didn’t offend anyone?"

Ye Xuan’s gaze shifted slightly, as if he had thought of something. "Back when we were in Demon City, didn’t Brother Xiao Lin offend a certain power?"

As these words fell, everyone was startled. Zuo Lingyun was the first to react, a glint of understanding flashing through her eyes. "Are you talking about the Shadow Alliance?"

"That’s right," Ye Xuan nodded. "We’ve only offended the Shadow Alliance on our journey. Brother Xiao Lin crippled one of the Young Master’s hands of the Shadow Alliance, and considering their style of action, they would definitely not take this lying down."

"You mean the Shadow Alliance colluded with the Alien Clan?" Zuo Shi’s pretty face changed.

"Very likely."

Diancang Sword Saint nodded, his expression grave. "The forces in Demon City often have connections with the remnants of the Alien Clan, always lurking in the shadows. Ye Xuan is right; it’s most likely the doing of the Shadow Alliance."

"I didn’t expect Xiao Lin to have caused us such a huge problem." Zuo Lingyun’s pretty face fell. She thought the issue was over, but the consequences turned out to be severe.

"Now what about our training mission? Having offended the remnants of the Alien Clan, our movement in the Demon Ruins will be extremely difficult," Zuo Lingyun expressed her concerns.

The others too looked worried. It seemed this training mission would not be easy.

"We need not worry too much," Ye Xuan wore a contemplative expression. "This operation by the Alien Clan was not successful. They lost quite a few people, and I think the Shadow Alliance must have paid a hefty price to have convinced the Alien Clan strongmen to get involved. Surely, they won’t be willing to carry on serving them wholeheartedly."

Ye Xuan analyzed logically, "The Alien Clan remnants didn’t achieve their goal this time, and they likely won’t make another move anytime soon."

"That makes sense. However, given the Alien Clan remnants are notoriously ruthless, and Human Clan’s top talents have been targeted by them before, we still need to be extremely cautious." Diancang Sword Saint nodded. Being in charge of this training expedition, any mishap would be his responsibility.

"That insignificant Shadow Alliance, daring to scheme against our Heavenly Martial Holy Land, after this training mission, it’s time to have them eradicated from the Central Domain."

Diancang Sword Saint’s eyes gleamed with a chilling light, considering Heavenly Martial Holy Land as one of the factions with the deepest roots in the Central Domain. What was the Shadow Alliance, daring to conspire with the Alien Clan against Heavenly Martial Holy Land’s training group? That was courting death.

"The training period is set for fifteen days; half a month later, we shall conclude the training and return to the Holy Land. Now that our movements are exposed, and having just repelled the Alien Clan’s ambush, we need to move our training site quickly." Diancang Sword Saint instructed Zuo Lingyun and the others.

As Ye Xuan and his group made their way deeper into the Demon Ruins, on a hillside in the distant jungle, there stood several figures with daunting auras—members of the Shadow Alliance. Before these men, the face of the Shadow Alliance Leader had turned extraordinarily livid.

"Useless, all useless! So many people went into action, and yet they couldn’t handle one Heavenly Martial Holy Land training team!"

The Shadow Alliance Leader was furiously angry, as Ye Xuan had guessed. He had gone to great lengths to persuade the Alien Clan’s forces to take action, and yet, they still failed to eliminate Ye Xuan and his group.

In this situation, they might have likely exposed themselves, and the people from Heavenly Martial Holy Land had probably guessed that this attack was related to them.
