Chapter 160: Drawing the Crossbow

  In the distance, a golden light beam shot towards the purple sun curtain like a ray of light.

  "This is the Flying Spirit Treasure! It must be the treasure of a great family!"

  "Yes, it's likely from the Thunder Empire!"

  "What's this, haven't you seen Ji Le Zong's Ji Xiao Tian? He has thousands of illusion magic eagles as his mount!"

  "How is this possible? The Thousand Illusory Demon Eagles are notoriously difficult to tame!"

  "How could it be impossible? On that day, I saw with my own eyes the extreme laughter of Tian Xia coming from the island!"

  Everyone was talking when they saw the flying Lingbao, and the originally quiet environment became lively.

  Ye Xuan's face suddenly froze as soon as he saw this golden pedestal. He immediately recognized it - it was the Eight Trigrams Golden Pedestal.

  "Nangong Jin, you're quite fast!"

  Ye Xuan muttered to himself.

  "What did you say? Nangong Jin, he is from the Nangong family of the Thunder Empire, no wonder there's such a rare treasure!"

  Ziyanhua heard Ye Xuan's words and said with a raised corner of her mouth.

  Instead, it was her brother Zi Qian who looked at Ye Xuan with a thoughtful expression, then gazed intently at the golden platform in the sky.

  In a few breaths, Nan Gong Jin arrived in front of everyone. The woman in white gauze behind him, who looked like an immortal fairy, was none other than Nan Gong Yu Ting.

  What was strange was that Ye Xuan did not see Nan Gong Jin's younger brother, Nan Gong Kang.

  Nangong Jin had just landed in front of the light screen and saw the rare resources inside, his face was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered.

  He had a different gaze from others, while everyone else was staring at the few rare herbs and meteorite trees in front of them, Nangong Jin's eyes were fixed on the light screen inside, those mountains.

  Nangong Yuting was different from Nangong Jin, her gaze swept across the crowd outside the light screen.

  Soon, Nan Gong Yu Ting saw Ye Xuan. As soon as Nan Gong Yu Ting saw Ye Xuan for the first time, he felt a sense of familiarity.

  Ye Xuan saw Nan Gong Yu Ting looking over and his spiritual power involuntarily probed towards her.

  But what surprised him was that his spiritual power was blocked a zhang away from Nan Gong Yutian, and this Nan Gong Yutian must have had a treasure that shielded spiritual power. Ye Xuan's spiritual power randomly probed towards Nan Gong Jin again.

  "It's indeed the second layer of the Dark Profound Realm!"

  Ye Xuan had heard that Nan Gong Jin was a second-level cultivator of the Yin Mysterious Realm, but seeing it with his own eyes still left him somewhat shocked.

  At this moment, Nangong Yutian whispered to himself in a low voice from a distance: "It's him! It's actually him! He has actually cultivated spiritual power!"

  "What did you say?"

  Nangong Yudi's muttering was still heard by Nangong Jin.

  "Oh, nothing!"

  Nangong Yuting finished speaking and glanced at Ye Xuan with a guilty conscience.

  However, her action was still discovered by Nangong Jin, who looked at Ye Xuan with suspicion.

  Ye Xuan saw Nan Gong Jin looking over and his gaze did not evade, but instead stared back at him in the same way.

  Although Ye Xuan has grown taller and his temperament has changed a lot, he was still quickly recognized by Nan Gong Jin.

  Nan Gong Jin recognized Ye Xuan and a hint of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth as he walked towards him.

  Nangong Yuting saw Nangong Jin walking towards Ye Xuan, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and a thread of inexplicable regret emerged in her heart. She regretted that her unintentional glance might have harmed Ye Xuan.

  Just now, her unintentional glance was also detected by Ye Xuan. In Ye Xuan's eyes, it must have been Nan Gong Yu Ting who reminded Nan Gong Jin, and Nan Gong Jin only discovered Ye Xuan then. Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel a hint of disgust towards this Nan Gong Yu Ting.

  But Zi Qian did not know Nan Gong Jin, and when he saw him approaching, he involuntarily released the aura of the Xuanming Realm.

  Nangong Jin's expression changed to one of surprise when he sensed the aura of the Dark Profound Realm, and he glanced at Zi Qian, but soon his surprise turned into a cold gaze.

  He quickly arrived in front of Ye Xuan and said lightly: "I didn't expect it was you!"

  Ye Xuan said coldly: "My Ye family is not so easily defeated, I've said it before, one day I, Ye Xuan will trample your Nan Gong family!"

  Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Nan Gong Jin didn't get angry, instead he sneered: "You think you can do it with your useless self? I didn't expect that your meridians could recover, are you thinking of cutting them off again?"

  This remark thoroughly enraged Ye Xuan, who cut off his own meridians that day, which was a great shame.

  Ye Xuan threw out a Eight Directions Palm Strike, his fist stirring up a fierce gust of wind that swept towards Nan Gong Yu.

  This commotion quickly caught the attention of the surrounding cultivators, and Ye Xuan's explosive aura also exposed his cultivation. His Dayuan realm five-layer strength was actually not bad among many cultivators, but unfortunately, Ye Xuan's opponent was Nangong Jin, Yinyuan realm two-layer.

  Ye Xuan made a move, and Nangong Jin raised the corner of his mouth in disdain. His right hand suddenly burst out with a rolling mysterious power, forming a whirlpool that met Ye Xuan's fist wind.

  Bang!

  Ye Xuan's fist wind had just met the whirlpool, and in the next second, he felt a severe pain coming from his internal organs. His body flew out like a kite with a broken string. His body happened to collide with a two-foot-thick tree trunk not far away, and the tree trunk behind him suddenly broke with a loud crash.

  Ye Xuan also spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale and lost all its color.

  Although Ye Xuan knew he wasn't a match for Nan Gong Jin, he hadn't expected that he couldn't even block a single move.

  Nan Gong Jin did not intend to let Ye Xuan off, his face cold as he walked towards him.

  At this moment, Ziyans painting brother, Zigan, took a step forward and blocked Nangong Jin.

  "Your Excellency, Ye Xuan is my friend, can you give me some face..."

  Zi Qian hadn't even finished his sentence when Nan Gong Jin interrupted him.

  "Who do you think you are! How dare you interfere with my business!"

  Just now, Ye Xuan and Nan Gong Jin's conversation has already let Zi Qian know that these two must have contradictions. However, he did not expect Ye Xuan to actually lose control of his temper. Just now when Nan Gong Jin came over, Nan Gong Jin didn't show an unusual expression when he sensed the aura of his own Yin Mysterious Realm, so Zi Qian guessed that he was probably also in the Yin Mysterious Realm.

  When Nan Gong Jin made his move and the aura of the Dark Profound Realm burst out, Zi Qian's face also changed color, and he secretly thought that things were not good, Ye Xuan was in danger.

  Zi Qian has always been a person who values loyalty and repays kindness. Ye Xuan saved his own sister, how could he just stand by and do nothing?

  He thought he was also a master of the Yin Xuan realm, and no matter what, his opponent should give him some face. But what made him angry was that Nan Gong Jin actually said, "What are you?" This is undoubtedly a huge insult to a cultivator in the Yin Xuan realm. It's worth noting that the Yin Xuan realm is already one of the strongest on the continent.

  Nangong Jin's words immediately made Zi Qian's face, which had been seeking peace, turn dark.

  "You're so arrogant! Don't think that I, Zi Qian, am afraid of you! Ye Xuan is my sister's lifesaver, which means he's also my benefactor. Whoever dares to hurt him will have to get past me first!"

  As he spoke, Ziqian's Yin Xuan boundary burst out, making the atmosphere on the scene tense and oppressive.
