#831 - Chapter 831 Cleaning up the battlefield

Soon, the battlefield was cleared, and Xuan returned to the Zixia Pavilion with hundreds of Imperial Spirit Guards, along with storage rings filled with rare treasures and nearly ten thousand undead slaves.

The mighty procession, with its long trails of light, streaked across the sky, lingering for a long time.

Xuan's heart was filled with extreme confidence and joy, even a hint of anticipation.

For the first time, Xuan felt the journey was very long. He finally arrived at the Zixia Pavilion and strode into the hall, a gust of wind sweeping past him.

Inside the main hall, Du was patiently reporting the situation of the Star River Sect to Ye Ling, his tone powerful and animated.

Sitting on the main seat, Ye Ling was grabbing a chicken leg and munching on it, listening to Du's report with great interest.

The chicken leg was roasted to a crispy, fragrant perfection with spiritual power, dripping with rich, spirit-infused oil.

There were still three chicken legs on the white porcelain plate on the table. Xuan even suspected that Du was reporting in such detail to see if he could drag it out long enough for Lord Ling to reward him with one.

When I arrived, the disciples of the Star River Sect were gathered near the spirit vein. A disciple named Qin Shou accused the three disciples of Xiaoyao Peak, Xiaobai, Ye Xiaoyao, and Ye Wuxin, of damaging the spirit vein.

A physical conflict broke out between the two sides, but the Xiaoyao Peak disciples had been repairing it for many days, depleting their spiritual power, so they were no match for the more numerous Star River Sect disciples.

Even Luo Yangtian heard the commotion and tried to persuade them, but it was ineffective. Instead, he was accused of being overly protective of his own, inciting public anger.

I released my pressure and, after much persuasion, barely managed to quell the disturbance.

However, it seems that the other Star River Sect disciples do not approve and still harbor resentment. This time it was Qin Shou, next time it could be another disciple who ignites another conflict.

Seeing that Du seemed to hesitate, Ye Ling paused slightly, put down the chicken leg, smacked her lips, looking like she hadn't had enough.

Du, I understand what you mean. Thank you for making the trip.

The people of the Star River Sect, except for Yun, do not know Ye Kong's strength, but it doesn't matter. They are not at the level to know yet.

Ye Ling finished speaking quickly.

Yes, Lord Ling,

Du replied quickly.

Xuan saw that his goddess was now beaming with joy, with no trace of the sadness and pain from that day.

Xuan was so angry that he immediately turned around, not even reporting the defeat of the undead and the countless spoils of war. He glared and stormed out.

Reaching the door, he said sternly, "All Imperial Spirit Guards, follow me now!"

The Imperial Spirit Guards at the door were startled, not daring to look at Xuan's face, but having worked under Xuan for so long, they could roughly guess that it was nothing more than a cold, black face.

"Xuan... Lord, we just finished fighting the undead and haven't had time to rest. Are we... leaving now?"

One of the Imperial Spirit Guards tentatively asked, unwilling to go.

"What, you want to rest before leaving?" Xuan's deep, cold voice echoed, his eyes fixed on the Imperial Spirit Guard who had asked the question.

His dark eyes flashed with a faint, cold light.

"No... no, we are afraid that your body can't take it, so..."

Before the Imperial Spirit Guard could finish speaking, Xuan immediately retorted, "You think there is something wrong with my body?"

Everyone looked at the strong muscles on Xuan's arms, where the veins were bulging due to excessive muscle strength, like winding little blue snakes wrapped around them.

"No... no, Lord Xuan, your physical strength is very strong, we will follow your orders!"

The Imperial Spirit Guards knew Xuan's temper and had no choice but to brace themselves and follow him to Xiaoyao Peak again.

Why do you always go to trouble Ye Kong? Don't you know his relationship with Lord Ling?

You're just asking for trouble, and you have to bring us little guards along. Can't you just watch quietly?

Then, hundreds of rays of light streaked across the sky again. When Du came out, he found the door empty. He was a little surprised, wondering if Lord Ling had arranged the next task for them so quickly.

Inside Xiaoyao Peak.

After Ye Kong brought Xiaoshan back to Xiaoyao Peak from the Space-Time Corridor, Xiaoshan's mark was a little fainter, but it had not completely disappeared.

Unable to find a solution for the time being, Ye Kong could only do what he could.

Another day of fishing as usual. No fish were seen swimming back and forth under the lake, except for the big carp who was happy to see Ye Kong back and was blowing bubbles. The lake was very calm.

Listening to the system's notification of "Qi Refining +1" in his ear, Ye Kong put down his fishing rod, knowing that his task for the day was completed.

Not to mention being beaten several times by Qin Shou and Chen Changqing, adding several bruises to his skinny arms.

It's really infuriating! Qin Shou, Chen Changqing, one day, I will make you pay!

After secretly uttering a venomous oath in his heart, Xiaobai felt a little better.

I'm so badly injured, and Master doesn't even come to comfort me, or make me a good meal. He just punished me to repair the spirit vein.

Xiaobai's emotions began to boil again, and his hatred for Ye Kong was no longer as simple as defeating him at the beginning.

At the very least, he would beat him up and let him experience the pain I'm feeling today.

"Ouch," the pain in his body pulled Xiaobai back to reality, leaving him no time to complain more.

"Woof woof ~" Erha sensed that his master was awake, so he ran over, wagging his head and tail, seeking affection.

"Get lost, Er Gouzi, where did you run off to when I was being beaten?" Xiaobai shouted irritably.

"Woof woof" Erha's ears drooped, and he wagged his tail vigorously, looking pitiful.

Didn't I fight alongside you when the alien world invaded? "Woof woof" he barked twice more.

"Get lost, I'm in pain," Xiaobai shouted again, and Erha wisely wagged his tail and walked away.

This little master is really moody, I have to stay away.

Xiaobai finally struggled to get up, took a deep breath, and began to meditate.

As his body relaxed, his pores opened, and as he circulated his cultivation technique, spiritual power slowly replenished his body.

After a while, Xiaobai felt a little better.

I swear, I will never do any more missions, hmph, so what if they threaten to leave Xiaoyao Peak.

Leaving is just the right time to become a Demon Emperor, which is much better than suffering grievances here.

Ye Xiaoyao and Ye Wuxin's condition was not much better than Xiaobai's. After a night of recuperation, they could barely get out of bed and walk.

But when it came to repairing the spirit vein, they were no longer willing to go.

Ye Kong, lying under the willow tree, suddenly opened his eyes. He hadn't seen his disciples for some days. He wondered how their missions were going.
