At this moment, the city before Xiao Ye was called Wuling City. It wasn’t very large; among the numerous cities of the East State in the Ancient Era that Xiao Ye had witnessed, it could only be considered of intermediate size, occupying an area of merely hundreds of miles.

Even the stone-walled ramparts were filled with mottled marks, incredibly dilapidated.

As Xiao Ye approached, he immediately noticed a heavy atmosphere in the city, with intense battle waves constantly spreading, accompanied by faint cries and curses.

"The Ancient Era was even more turbulent than our later generations."

"Though there are endless conflicts in later generations, under the control of major forces, at least battles don’t occur within the cities."

Xiao Ye sighed slightly and directly flew into the city.

Right now, he intended to find the martial artists of the Pure Yang Alliance first, wondering if Shen Tu had come.

And Guo An’an, ever since their last separation, he didn’t know if she still remained in East State.

Xiao Ye held a good impression of Guo An’an but limited to friendship.

Perhaps due to the eruption of battle in the city, even the guards at the gate were drawn to the commotion, roads throughout the city were crowded with martial artists gathered in discussion, all gazing in a particular direction within the city.

"Why is the Pure Yang Alliance of West State fighting the Xu Family of East State?"

"Isn’t it because the Xu Family’s martial artists, to pave the way for Xu Teng to kill Xiao Ye, searched throughout East State but couldn’t find Xiao Ye, and just when the Pure Yang Alliance’s martial artists arrived in East State, the Xu Family naturally thought it was the Pure Yang Alliance hiding Xiao Ye, so they came to trouble the Pure Yang Alliance."

"Ah, it’s not just the Xu Family of East State, even the Beidou Sect which allied with the Green Dragon Four Brothers, is searching for Xiao Ye’s whereabouts, yet couldn’t find him. Who knows where this guy is hiding."

"With the power of the Xu Family and Beidou Sect, if they couldn’t find Xiao Ye, he must have either entered a forbidden land or left East State."

"Left? Impossible! All the entry and exit points of East State are controlled by major forces, and they are very interested in the high-level martial arts secret manual Xiao Ye possesses, so Xiao Ye must still be in East State."

...

As soon as Xiao Ye flew into the city, the discussions reached his ears, causing him to be slightly stunned, then his gaze turned icy.

The battle erupting in the city was actually Xu Family besieging the martial artists of the Pure Yang Alliance?

The cause turned out to be him!

"Xu Teng of the Xu Family, having gained three-fifths of the True Martial Physique, wants to kill me to show off?" In Xiao Ye’s mind, Xu Teng’s image appeared, a trace of killing intent emanated from him.

After obtaining the True Martial Physique this time, he only wanted to have a peak battle with the Iron Blood Emperor of his youth; as for other young talents, he no longer took them seriously and was too lazy to bother with them.

After all, being at different heights, one’s outlook on things also differs.

Just didn’t expect Xu Teng to be so persistent.

"Must you force me to start a massacre?"

At the moment, Xiao Ye’s black hair fluttered in the wind, his figure like an arrow, rushing forward.

In Wuling City, a mansion was erupting in a fierce battle.

The terrifying Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi gathered, like waterfalls descending from the sky, enveloping the entire mansion; the intense battle aftermath, like a storm, swept across, cracking the whole mansion and almost turning it into ruins, with clouds of smoke billowing, covering the sky and stirring the Nine Heavens.

Within a radius of ten miles, not a single martial artist dared to approach, only in mid-air, martial artists of the Xu Family fiercely fighting with martial artists of the Pure Yang Alliance.

It could be seen, the martial artists of the Pure Yang Alliance were at an absolute disadvantage, with martial artists constantly screaming and falling from mid-air.

A young man in splendid clothes had his hands behind his back, not intervening but wearing a mocking smile, overlooking the scene with an aloof demeanor.

This youth was Xu Fei of the Xu Family in East State, a powerful genius.

Beside Xu Fei were five martial artists.

Their bodies surrounded by divine light, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi entwining them, resonating with the Martial Arts Sound, indicating they too possessed the True Martial Physique.

"Damn it, your Xu Family don’t bully us too much; I told you, we Pure Yang Alliance don’t know Xiao Ye’s whereabouts either."

A silver-robed youth glared at Xu Fei in mid-air, flames of anger flaring in his eyes, fists clenched tightly, he was indeed the first genius on the True Dragon List of the younger generation in West State, Shen Tu.

Guo An’an wearing a green silk dress stood gracefully beside Shen Tu, her pretty face frosty.

"Haha, stop pretending, Xiao Ye is one of your Pure Yang Alliance’s geniuses; even if he’s not hidden by you this time, the Pure Yang Alliance knows where he is."

"I advise you to obediently reveal his whereabouts, otherwise, when my big brother arrives, you, the first genius of the younger generation in West State, might meet your end."

Upon hearing Shen Tu’s words, Xu Fei sneered.

"How irritating!"

Shen Tu was furious hearing this.

He rushed from West State to East State as agreed, to deliver the last five types of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to Xiao Ye.

Unexpectedly, just as they arrived in East State, before finding Xiao Ye, they were surrounded by the Xu Family’s martial artists.

As a super force in East State with many strong individuals, the Xu Family’s stronghold was in East State, and the five martial artists following Xu Fei probably matched him in strength.

"The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that Brother Xiao needs are hidden in the secret chamber behind me; our Pure Yang Alliance spent tremendous effort finding them, if lost, it would be hard to find a second set, so we absolutely cannot let the Xu Family discover them."

Shen Tu suppressed his inner rage, glancing subtly at his rear, contemplating strategies.

"Hmm?"

However, Shen Tu’s gesture and expression were keenly caught by Xu Fei in mid-air, his eyes immediately brightened.

"Shen Tu, I’m very curious as to why you haven’t acted; now I finally guessed, maybe Xiao Ye is hiding nearby."

"You guys, take action! If Shen Tu dares to interfere, kill him first!"

Xu Fei sneered, ordering the five martial artists beside him.

"Yes!"

The five martial artists exchanged a glance and then flew out together.

"Not good!"

"Have we been discovered!"

Shen Tu’s heart skipped a beat, his expression changed, directly unleashing half of his True Martial Physique to thwart these five martial artists.

"I can only do so much; I must protect the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that Brother Xiao needs!" Guo An’an also unleashed the True Martial Physique, intending to fight alongside Shen Tu.

The fierce battle was about to erupt!

Swoosh!

But just then, a figure suddenly descended from the sky, directly inserting between both sides, his black hair flying, his profound and icy gaze staring at Xu Fei.

"Xu Fei, you are courting death."
