Two days later.
On the Yanlong Planet, at the border between the Galactic Empire and the Azure Empire.
"Wow~"
"Daddy, is this Yanlong Planet~~"
"It's so beautiful, like a big sun!!"
The five little ones inside the celestial-level spaceship, through the simulated exterior view, saw a fiery red planet, which was indeed their second stop in their travels across the Galactic Empire.
As for the special nature of Yanlong Planet, Ye Xuan paid no mind. What was the point?
Let alone the currently complex situation on Yanlong Planet, even if it were the capital planet of the Azure Empire, Canglan Planet, Ye Xuan would not hesitate to bring the five little ones to visit.
The worst-case scenario would be to become enemies with the Azure Empire. However, Ye Xuan had the "Immortal Slaying Sword Formation" as his backing. As long as they were not in the Immortal realm, he was capable of handling anything. Moreover, why would an immortal come to a desolate place like the Azure Empire?
Yanlong Planet, Yanlong City.
This was the city where the Yan King of the Azure Empire, Xiahou Qi, resided, and it was also the most prosperous city on the entire Yanlong Planet. Its prosperity was no less than that of Shenlong City.
Upon entering the city, Ye Xuan clearly felt that the energy here was several times denser than outside Yanlong City. It was evident that there was a high-level Imperial Vein here.
However, as soon as the group entered the city, they were targeted by hidden individuals.
"Good heavens!"
"Those two women are beautiful enough. Hurry and call for reinforcements."
"If we deliver these two to His Highness the Yan King, it will be a great merit!"
Immediately, the group reported the situation, and a response soon followed.
"Let's go, follow them!"
"Make sure not to lose sight of the target~"
Thus, five or six people followed Ye Xuan. However, they were unaware that the moment they set their sights on Ye Xuan and his group, they had already been discovered by Ye Xuan.
A quarter of an hour later.
Yanlong City, a deserted alley.
*Swish~*
Several figures surrounded Ye Xuan's group. There were about a dozen people around, all of whom were the ones who had targeted Luo Tianyi and Xiao Cai earlier, and they had brought reinforcements.
"As expected, they are beauties. The quality is good."
The leader of the group was an eighth-stage Venerable. "We must capture these two women before Lord Shan Jiang arrives."
"Kill the man, and be careful with the women."
"Go!"
Without any further ado, the eighth-stage Venerable at the head ordered his subordinates to attack.
"Yes, Captain!"
Immediately, over a dozen people transformed into black streaks of light and attacked Ye Xuan and his group. Seeing this, Ye Xuan first collected the five little ones and then summoned the Ape with Straight Arms and the One-Horned Bull Python.
The Ape with Straight Arms, who had already been informed by Ye Xuan, vanished from his spot. The next moment, he clashed with over ten people.
*Plop~*
*Plop, plop~~*
Following that, over a dozen people turned into corpses and fell to the ground. The Ape with Straight Arms glanced at the bodies with disdain. What a joke!
These people were merely ants at the Venerable level, while he was a being of immense power, currently at the peak of the fourth-stage Dao Ancestor realm. The difference between them was immeasurable.
To be honest, if these people had not offended Ye Xuan, they would not even have qualified to be dealt with by him.
Of course, the Ape with Straight Arms looked at Xiao Cai with fervent eyes. After eliminating over a dozen people, he still struck a pose he thought was handsome towards Xiao Cai, which earned him a roll of Xiao Cai's eyes.
Seeing the Ape with Straight Arms' behavior, the One-Horned Bull Python's forehead was covered in black lines. Was that monkey in heat? Although that Xiao Cai was beautiful, he clearly wasn't very interested.
Ye Xuan's lips curved slightly as he observed the Ape with Straight Arms' antics. How could he not understand the monkey's thoughts?
However, he neither stopped nor assisted, as some things were best left to nature!
"Who... are you!?"
The strong man from the Yan King's mansion, an eighth-stage Venerable, was filled with shock. Having seen many experts, he knew very well that this handsome young man was terrifyingly strong.
*Slap~*
Before the eighth-stage Venerable could speak, he was slapped away by the Ape with Straight Arms. No, he was slapped to death, crashing dozens of feet away. The sound of cracking bones was continuous, clearly indicating that the eighth-stage Venerable's body had suffered countless fractures.
"Noisy~!"
Clearly, the Ape with Straight Arms was angered. He was showing off in front of the girl he liked, so how could he not be furious?
The eighth-stage Venerable died without knowing why that handsome young man was killing him.
"Presumptuous!"
Immediately, a figure appeared in the field. This person was none other than Lord Shan, the confidant of the Yan King, whom the eighth-stage Venerable had mentioned. Clearly, the appearing Lord Shan was much stronger than the others, possessing the strength of a fourth-stage Void Ancestor.
"You dare to harm my Yan King's men, how audacious..."
*Bang!* Before Lord Shan of the Yan King's mansion could finish speaking, he was also slapped away by the Ape with Straight Arms. However, he was not killed. Instead, he was left hanging by a thread, his battle strength completely gone, his eyes wide with disbelief as he looked at the Ape with Straight Arms. Clearly, he had not expected that young man to be so powerful.
"Damn it!"
"Fire the signal, and I'll make you die!!"
As soon as Lord Shan spoke, one of his followers immediately sent a signal into the sky, which then bloomed with a *pop*. Instantly, the entire Yanlong City saw it clearly.
In an instant, Yanlong City erupted!
"What the hell, is that the distress signal of the Yan King's mansion?"
"Damn it, how dare that guy attack people from the Yan King's mansion in Yanlong City!"
"My intuition tells me that guy is dead!!"
From various parts of Yanlong City, enthusiastic discussions erupted.
As for the alley, the One-Horned Bull Python, who was at the fifth-stage Dao Ancestor realm, flashed forward and smashed down the Langya List, instantly killing all twenty or so men brought by Lord Shan, including several experts at the Void Ancestor level.
Lord Shan's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the group. "That guy... is even more powerful than that young man!"
"Damn it!"
"No matter who you are, you are dead!!"
*Chichichi~*
As Lord Shan made a fierce statement, people from the Yan King's mansion arrived en masse, their auras permeating the air. The weakest were Void Ancestor powerhouses, and there were even several Dao Ancestor realm experts. Clearly, the people from the Yan King's mansion were not simple.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man's gaze fell upon the scene, and he frowned. "You dare to harm my people, you are truly bold."
"How many years has it been? You are the first to be so brazen in Yanlong City."
Yan King Xiahou Qi then focused his gaze on Luo Tianyi and Xiao Cai, his eyes flashing with brilliance. "What exquisite beauties, it seems my luck is good."
"Damn it, you're courting death!"
The Ape with Straight Arms, upon seeing Yan King Xiahou Qi's expression, immediately became furious and punched towards the Yan King.
"Scoundrel!!"
At once, two eighth-stage Void Ancestor experts moved to intercept the Ape with Straight Arms. However, before they could make contact, they realized something was wrong.
*Boom~!!*
At the critical moment, an old man flashed in front of the Ape with Straight Arms and exchanged a blow with him. After a dull thud, both of them retreated several feet. However, the Ape with Straight Arms was unharmed, while the old man's entire arm was crippled.
"What!!"
The Yan King and everyone present stared at the scene in astonishment. Especially the Yan King, who knew very well that this old man was an ancestor of their Xiahou family, with strength at the peak of the fourth-stage Dao Ancestor realm. Even so, he was injured in one move. Who was that young man, and why was his strength so formidable? For a moment, the Yan King's heart sank to the bottom. For some reason, a sense of foreboding washed over him.
