Chapter 5, The Arrival of the Treasure, The Beginning of Chaos

Once such a sense of danger arises, what awaits one is an extremely perilous situation

Ah... you..." Upon seeing Ye Xiao arrive, Zuo Wuji was instantly filled with excitement, letting out a cheer and running over with a skip in his step.

Fortunately, Zuo Wuji was even more eager to leave: "Brother, after the auction ends the day after tomorrow, when I turn my fortunes around, we must have a good drink together"

The individuals I had previously sensed were indeed coming for the Left Prime Minister's residence, not for me.

Ye Xiao is familiar with the Celestial Crystal Essence, but he has never come into contact with it, let alone consumed it. This is the first time he realizes that the hardness of the Celestial Crystal Essence is so high

That is an extreme sense of crisis

Meanwhile, the sound of impatient footsteps came from the nearby alley; a voice murmured softly, "That guy Ye Xiao won't be a no-show, will he? He wouldn't be playing me for a fool, would he?"

This thing has not disappeared; rather, it has entered into its own body

With the gold note in hand, he dashed away in a flash

Those who obstruct the way shall be mercilessly killed

What a large piece! How did it get in? From where did it come in?

But ...? ... how can it enter one's own body

The sounds of battle grew increasingly intense, clearly indicating that the military strength of the Left Prime Minister's residence had already responded, beginning to shift from defense to offense

Ye Xiao could not help but widen his eyes: What is going on? He could clearly sense that this was definitely not the work of some unparalleled master who had taken it away!

Ye Xiao was momentarily truly dazed, not due to physiological reasons, but rather a psychological discomfort. However, before he could ascertain what was happening, a surging stream of energy suddenly surged up from his dantian with a "whoosh"!

The position one occupies in relation to the diagram and the book surprisingly serves as a central point, a core location

I indeed need that thing

The moment he swallowed that tiny bit of powder, a peculiar fragrance simultaneously emanated from the Celestial Crystal Spirit Essence in his embrace; it was so refreshing that one could not help but feel invigorated upon inhaling it. Ye Xiao took a deep breath, feeling completely at ease, ... and then ...

The most concerning thing has happened; my previous feelings were not mistaken at all. It is indeed the Left Prime Minister's residence that has encountered trouble

This is bad! Ye Xiao was extremely frustrated

The burden is clearly still in hand, its existence is not illusory

At most, it was just a fleeting moment, yet Ye Xiao was instantly drenched in sweat, as an overwhelming surge of unknown spiritual power erupted uncontrollably. Ye Xiao distinctly felt his meridians trembling weakly, struggling in vain.

Ye Xiao could sense that from all directions, a large number of experts were rushing towards this place

Ye Xiao felt increasingly dizzy and did not notice this unusual sensation. However, she did not dare to be negligent. Gritting her teeth, she took out a piece of the jade and retrieved a dagger from her bosom. There was no other choice; she had to act decisively. Since the poison could flare up at any moment, she could only cut off a piece to detoxify herself first. Even if it was a waste, it could not be helped; preserving her life was the top priority.

"What are you trying to do to me?" Ye Xiao furrowed her brows and then shook her head, saying, "It shouldn't be like this... I don't have the qualifications to warrant such a grand display from so many experts, do I? This is too much of an overestimation of me!"

A tremendous roar erupted nearby, followed by flames shooting into the sky

Yet the dizziness in my mind grew increasingly intense, and there was a faint yet urgent desire for m.hetushu.com

Oh, heavens; the title of the biggest spendthrift in the capital is soon to be taken off my shoulders. God knows how much pressure I've been under during this time, truly a lot...

"Silence." Ye Xiao hurriedly covered his mouth and asked, "Did you bring the things?"

As the person opposite charged forward, the force of this strike unexpectedly erupted in a dazzling blue light, causing the plaster on the adjacent wall to crack and fissures to appear on the ground, as if the blade's energy was slicing the very air into fragments

Ye Xiao, clutching the banknotes obtained from robbing Lan Langlang, hurriedly made his way to the agreed-upon location—the alley behind the Left Prime Minister's residence.

Ye Xiao swiftly darted into the narrow alleyway

Furthermore, if Zuo Wuji were to mutter a few more words, it is likely that the commotion he causes would attract those individuals to his side

It is simply "dead hard"

Nevertheless, regardless of the circumstances, the long-desired item has finally been obtained. Ye Xiao, feeling an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, gently caressed the Celestial Crystal Essence within the bundle. Just as she was about to turn around and head back, she hurried to leave this place of turmoil.

"What the hell..." Ye Xiao was also taken aback: "This bastard actually runs faster than I do..."

Ye Xiaoxin felt a sudden chill: these individuals, dressed in black and masked, could not possibly be from the Left Prime Minister's residence. Moreover, their swift and decisive actions indicated that they were not ordinary martial artists, but rather well-trained assassins

En?" Ye Xiao suddenly stopped.

Ye Xiao contemplated in her heart, yet the opponent's blade showed no signs of relenting. The flash of the blade glimmered, descending like lightning, a merciless kill

This chaotic situation has nothing to do with me at all

A sudden wave of dizziness surged through my mind, as if several golden characters flashed briefly before me. In the next moment, my hand felt unexpectedly light; the crystal spirit marrow had completely vanished!

Faced with an obstruction, without a word or even a greeting, one draws the sword directly and kills first, then speaks.

Thinking that he would soon be able to atone for his sins, to buy back the things, and no longer be treated as a punching bag by his grandfather and father at home... Luo Wuji was instantly filled with tears: "... Wuwu, my parents in another life..."

Ye Xiaoxin thought: This is definitely not a trap set by Zuo Wuji

Just as Ye Xiao had traveled about halfway, night fell upon the earth, and darkness enveloped everything.

It is surprising that this is happening at such a critical moment

Not far ahead is the Left Prime Minister's residence. Ye Xiaozhi smiled with satisfaction and intended to turn aside, taking a detour to the alley leading to his destination. However, just as he rounded the corner and was about to turn into the alley, a sudden chilling sensation surged up!

A sudden and unanticipated cacophony of battle erupted nearby, the clashing of weapons resonating as if thousands were hammering iron simultaneously; Ye Xiao felt an overwhelming sense of despair.

But how did the Celestial Crystal Essence inside the package just disappear? It vanished into thin air

"Alright, alright, you should hurry back. Polite words can wait until they are needed later." Ye smiled, having obtained what he came for, and was unwilling to linger here for even a moment.

A strange sound suddenly emerged, causing Ye Xiao to furrow her brow: This sound consists of one long and three short signals, which should indicate a retreat...

Just at this moment

It is too dangerous

It is evident that this individual has already arrived and has been anxiously waiting for the - map - book.

Ye Xiao did not need to open it to know that this was indeed that large piece of Heavenly Crystal Essence

As a master of cultivation, Ye Xiao is acutely aware of the situation he is currently facing. This sudden influx of immense spiritual power is certainly not a good sign; it is highly likely that he is facing imminent disaster.

It seems that I am so excited that I cannot speak.

Thank you, thank you..." Zuo Wuji's voice choked: "Brother, you are truly a good brother... From now on, Brother Ye, you will be my own brother, I..."

The reason is quite simple; this influx of foreign spiritual energy is simply too violent. With my current self, I am utterly unable to assimilate it, feeling a thousand percent willing yet powerless! In my previous life, I had never encountered such a thing. Although I was aware of its formidable effects, I never imagined it could be this powerful!

Having encountered such a condition in my own body, I find myself caught in such chaos.

With two sharp sounds, the keen dagger instantly sliced through the outer layer of the Celestial Crystal Essence. However, the crystal inside was extremely hard. Given Ye Xiao's current physical strength, even exerting all his might, he could only barely scrape off a thin layer of powder.

Suddenly, an intense wave of dizziness surged through Ye Xiao's mind, causing him to halt in his tracks. He raised a hand to his forehead and swayed slightly.

The toxins lying dormant within the body are now showing an uncontrollable tendency.

Look at this situation; this is no ordinary assassin

Even though Ye Xiao has lost all his cultivation now, there is absolutely no way that anyone can take away his possessions without him being aware of it

However, there are already a few people who have arrived here

This kind of intuition is as effective as divine intervention when it comes to sensing rare materials and treasures, and it is infallible in perceiving crises

This is the spiritual awareness forged through countless trials and tribulations in the endless crises of life and death in a world of ambushes; there will absolutely be no mistakes.

That was indeed the voice of Zuo Wuji

"Yes, this is fifteen thousand taels of gold notes. Remember to return it on time." Ye Xiao took the bundle and held it close, feeling a wave of immense happiness wash over her, and casually handed the gold notes back.

Following Lord Ye, one wishes to leave

How unexpectedly firm! Ye smiled helplessly, tilting his head back to swallow the small amount of powder.

With the capital to turn things around, Young Master Zuo could not stay even for a moment, feeling an urgent restlessness in his heart

The current situation has at least exceeded my original expectations by several times, perhaps even more. The only solution is to unleash and vent it out; otherwise, this body will surely be the first to suffer. If the deadly poison does not kill me, it would be a great injustice to be overwhelmed by rare treasures and the wonders of heaven and earth.

Zuo Wuji's eyes sparkled with excitement. Although his mouth was covered and he could not speak, he nodded repeatedly and then handed over a package from behind him

It seems that this fellow has become accustomed to being a thief; everything is second nature to him, and he managed to steal it out so smoothly.

However, no matter what, it seems that my current position is indeed too close to those people

Did I not suppress the toxicity? How could it suddenly rebound?

At this moment, Ye Xiao had just reached the entrance of the alley. It was not that he did not want to move quickly; rather, his body was currently in a state of internal and external turmoil, making it quite ineffective. Suddenly, a flash of blade light struck down like lightning.

The only thing that can be done now is to place the burden in hand on one's own head, creating a simple head covering.
