C1090 Why Didn't She Listen
"If you don't hand over the treasure, only death awaits you!"
Mei's expression instantly sank, as if her charming expression had vanished completely, and there was only an icy cold killing intent remaining.
"Oh, can't we discuss this further?"
In the face of Mei's monstrous killing intent, Ye Xu placed his hands behind his back and remained motionless like a mountain.
"Hand over the treasure and submit to me. I will let you enjoy the highest enjoyment in a man's life!"
Mei said faintly.
"I don't have much time, but I can still give you three breaths!"
The Heavenly Stage Peak old man beside the sedan slowly opened his eyes.
The killing intent gradually accumulated. Even Lee Tianbai, who was in the midst of regulating his breathing, felt a chill run down his spine. He gritted his teeth and gulped down a few mouthfuls of Flame Wine. Then, he began to gather the remaining spiritual energy and prepared to fight with his life on the line.
Ye Xu shook his head slightly and said, "Sigh, I have always treated people with sincerity. Why is it that no one is willing to believe me?"
He said with a sinister smile, "Looks like you have chosen to give up your life for the treasure! Then die!"
With a shout of death, the Heavenly Stage Peak old man next to the palanquin suddenly dashed out without any warning.
The powerful Qi caused Lee Tianbai's face to turn black, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were wide open, and his face was filled with shock.
A Heavenly Stage Peak warrior had already touched the existence of a Holy Stage warrior. Just by moving his body and stirring up a strong wind, he was suppressed to such an extent. This showed how powerful he was.
"Swoosh!"
In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Stage Peak old man had already passed through Ye Xu's body and returned to the side of the palanquin at an even faster speed.
It was as if nothing had happened, but the old man's facial expression changed.
Not only the old man's facial expression changed, but also his charming face.
This old man's name was Lightning, and he cultivated the Lightning Laws to the point of Manifestation. His cultivation base had already reached the Heavenly Stage Peak, and he had also expended a lot of resources from the Heaven Earth Pavilion to cultivate him to this extent. He could be considered Mei's greatest trump card.
With the strength of the Southern Region, lightning was absolutely capable of moving freely. However, Ye Xu acted as if nothing had happened when he attacked.
How was this possible?
Ye Xu calmly brushed off the dust on his body. "Alright, I won't be calculative this time, but if you come again, I won't be polite!"
Once these words were spoken, Mei and Lightning's expressions changed once again.
Mei sized Ye Xu up and down as if she never knew him.
Only now did Mei realize that she seemed to have underestimated Ye Xu.
Ever since he entered the Heaven Earth Pavilion, he had mysteriously disappeared and reappeared in the Ocean Tide City.
Mei initially thought that Ye Xu was rescued by Gu Xiaoyao, but now she had a different opinion in her heart.
She was afraid that Ye Xu had left by himself.
No one could stop her charm, so how did this person solve it?
Or, it could be said that he had never been affected by his charm from the beginning to the end.
The more she thought about it, the more afraid she felt in her heart.
A drop of cold sweat dripped down from her forehead.
"You... just who are you!?"
At this moment, Mei's voice no longer contained a trace of charm. Instead, it was incomparably deep.
Ye Xu smiled and said, "I, am just an ordinary person!"
Mei hesitated.
She firmly believed that the treasure of the Illusory Secret Realm was with Ye Xu, but this person's origins were mysterious. His cultivation base was extraordinary. The lightning strike just now didn't even touch the corner of his clothes. This cultivation base was at least above the Heavenly Stage Peak.
"Could it be that this man has already reached the Holy Stage? Impossible! He is so young, how could he possibly reach the Holy Stage?"
"But, if this man hasn't reached the Holy Stage, how could he possibly avoid the lightning strike?"
"If this man's strength isn't far above the lightning, then there's only one reason. He has a spatial treasure with him!"
In just a short moment, Mei had already thought of many possibilities. The more she thought about it, the more shocked she became.
Ye Xu observed her expression and knew that Mei's thoughts were a little off.
A woman like her was born with many doubts and would not believe anything. Even if he explained it, she would not believe him. Since that was the case, Ye Xu indicated that there was no need for him to explain.
Mei was unable to guess Ye Xu's true identity. It was not wise to rashly offend such an existence. However, if she really left, the treasures of the Illusion Secret Realm would be lost, and it would greatly affect Mei's follow-up plans.
Just as she was hesitating, the void trembled. A spatial gate opened, and a sedan chair appeared once again.
This sedan was embroidered with a huge peony color. At the same time, a faint fragrance of flowers was emitted from it.
"Hm? She's here too!"
Seeing the sedan, Mei slightly frowned.
The curtain of the sedan was lifted and a beauty dressed in palace attire walked out. It was another Vice Pavilion Master from the Heaven Earth Pavilion.
Peony.
Its sharp eyes instantly fell on Ye Xu's body. Peony stepped on the void and flew out proudly.
"You are the one who took away the treasure of the Illusion Secret Realm? Hand it over!"
"Ah, why is it that one or two of them want me to hand over the treasures of the Illusion Realm today!"
Ye Xu helplessly sighed and shook his head.
"There are actually no treasures in the Illusory Secret Realm. All of your efforts were in vain!"
Just as he finished speaking, the Peony responded strongly.
"Impossible! The Illusion Secret Realm was discovered by the people of our Heaven Earth Pavilion who invited the people of the Divination Sect to personally push the Prophecy Stone forward. There can't be any mistake!"
Ye Xu said with a smile, "Since it is a prophecy, of course there will be a mistake!"
"Yes! I think you are deliberately hiding it! Do you think that I, Peony, am a person who is so easy to talk to? Kill..."
Peony's character was even stronger than her charm. With a wave of her hand, a shadow dashed out from the Peony Flower Chair and stabbed towards Ye Xu at lightning speed.
In the blink of an eye, the shadow had already arrived in front of Ye Xu.1
Seeing Ye Xu in danger, the peony revealed a cruel sneer and was ready to see blood bloom in the air.
On the other side, Mei's eyes were tightly locked onto Ye Xu, wanting to see if he was real or fake.
The lightning strike just now was useless. Was it real, or was it just a coincidence?
If it was Ye Xu's true strength, Mei would immediately change her strategy.
But if it was a treasure, Mei didn't mind adding insult to injury and sending Ye Xu to the west.
Ye Xu's brows slowly wrinkled.
"You two, one and two always don't listen to my explanation. Since that's the case, don't blame me!"
He snorted coldly. The shadow assassin that came out of the peony sedan froze in front of him.
Then with a miserable scream, countless lightning bolts tore his body apart.
"What!?"
"This is impossible!"
Seeing the shadow assassin being killed in an instant, Peony and Mei exclaimed at the same time.
Mei was still alright. She was prepared in her heart, but Peony was different.
This shadow assassin was one of the top assassins she had kept in captivity. Although his strength was only at the Early Period of Heavenly Stage, his movement technique was strange, and his speed was extremely fast. Even an intermediate Heavenly Stage expert wouldn't be able to withstand his attack.
But now, he was dead.
