Chapter 1871 - 1872: Hidden Dragon, Cang Family!
With the sudden arrival of that middle-aged man, the peaceful atmosphere of the Flower World was completely shattered, replaced by a strong and intense sense of murderous intent!
In the Ancient Tomb Ruins, as long as they weren’t on the same path, they were all enemies!!
Lou Yaoyao frowned slightly and whispered to Ye Xuan, "Little brother, quickly put away the Gathering Spirit Stone!"
Ye Xuan reached out with a large hand and directly took the Gathering Spirit Stone into his bag.
And this scene naturally did not escape the eyes of that middle-aged man.
The corner of his mouth curved into a sneer: "Since I’ve already arrived here, what can you do by putting away the Gathering Spirit Stone? In the end, won’t it still fall into my hands?"
Lou Yaoyao looked coldly at the middle-aged man and spoke with a chilling voice, "Cang Dinghe, you old fool, you sure have some guts to even dare have designs on my things? What? Think your life is too long?"
The middle-aged man named Cang Dinghe laughed heartily, "Lou Yaoyao, you little demon, don’t take me for a fool. Do you think I can’t tell that you’ve been eroded by the poison mechanism of the Li Gate passage and are now as good as a cripple?"
Lou Yaoyao’s pretty face slightly changed, and she angrily said, "So what if I’ve been eroded by the poison? I am the second lady of the Lou Family, do you dare to touch me?"
"This place is isolated from the world, with no one else around. If I kill both of you, only heaven, earth, and I would know, no one else would. What should I fear?"
Cang Dinghe squinted his eyes and smiled sinisterly, "But my Cang Family has no intention to take the risk of offending the Lou Family. If you hand over the Gathering Spirit Stone obediently, everything will still be negotiable."
"You..."
Lou Yaoyao was furious, her face flushed, but she couldn’t find the words.
She felt anger rising.
If it weren’t for being eroded by the poison, this Cang Dinghe from the Hidden Dragon Cang Family wouldn’t be able to stand even three moves under her hands. Even if he had discovered the existence of the Gathering Spirit Stone, he would just take a glance and then leave dejectedly.
But, the tiger fallen to the plains is bullied by dogs, at this moment with Cang Dinghe being so arrogant, she had no way to deal with him.
Concede and hand over the Gathering Spirit Stone?
The Gathering Spirit Stone belongs to little brother, how can it be given away?
Lou Yaoyao suddenly smiled, "Cang Dinghe, do you think that just because I temporarily lack combat power, this Gathering Spirit Stone is yours for the taking? Do you know who the man carrying me is?"
Cang Dinghe’s smile stiffened, and only then did he look at Ye Xuan.
This kid, unfamiliar!
Lou Yaoyao sneered, "He is Ye Xuan, the peerless genius who recently stood alone at the Martial Arts Conference, unmatched by ten thousand men, defeating Qiao Tianzhao of the Qiao Family with one punch in seconds!"
"Ye Xuan?"
Hearing this name, Cang Dinghe’s expression slightly changed as well.
After the battle at the Martial Arts Conference, Ye Xuan’s fame had already reached the Hidden Dragon World, and how could Cang Dinghe not have heard?
This kid, from the Mortal World, with unparalleled talent, at such a young age already capable of defeating Qiao Tianzhao in seconds, his strength is not to be underestimated at all.
However, it was only for a moment.
Cang Dinghe soon regained his composure, and laughed recklessly, "Hahaha, Lou Yaoyao, don’t try to intimidate me with fox borrowing the might of the tiger, what about Ye Xuan? Do you think I’d be afraid of him, a mere brat from the Mortal World? Defeating Qiao Tianzhao with one punch, it’s not like I couldn’t do it!
Besides, if you two were truly confident you’re my match, would you still waste time talking with me? You’re poisoned by the mechanical poison, yet you’re still not dead, so evidently, this boy must have paid a hefty price to save you, right?
Is his strength still at its peak?"
Immediately, Lou Yaoyao’s pretty face turned livid.
This old fox Cang Dinghe was much smarter than she had imagined!
Indeed, Lou Yaoyao knew very well that Ye Xuan had exhausted himself greatly to save her and hadn’t rested since, his current state had already greatly deteriorated.
It was for this reason that Lou Yaoyao didn’t have absolute confidence in Ye Xuan, otherwise with her bloodthirsty demoness nature, she would have already had Ye Xuan take action to kill this old fool.
Cang Dinghe wasn’t fooled, now it seemed, things were troublesome...
And Cang Dinghe looked at Ye Xuan again, squinting and coldly laughing, "Kid, hand over the Gathering Spirit Stone. This Gathering Spirit Stone, with its function of converging nature’s spiritual energy, is an unparalleled treasure, even among the Hidden Dragon families, there is at most only one piece, such a treasure in your hands is a sheer waste. If you’re smart and want to live, you better behave."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow, indeed once again his worldview was overturned.
So, this Gathering Spirit Stone had the effect of converging nature’s spiritual energy, in other words, wherever the Gathering Spirit Stone was, the spiritual energy would be as abundant as this place?
What does that imply?
A truly terrifying implication!
This seemed to be a treasure tailor-made for Ye Xuan, because he had already obtained the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus, once back to the East Sea, he could soon enlighten Lin Tong and the others, with the help of this Gathering Spirit Stone, as long as Lin Tong and the others weren’t particularly lacking in Martial Arts talent, they might soon become Qi Gong Masters!
This was no exaggeration.
The abundant spiritual energy here filled Ye Xuan with confidence!
Surely, in the Hidden Dragon World, the reason there were Qi Gong Masters everywhere had an inseparable connection with the families having Gathering Spirit Stones, right?
This little piece of stone could essentially elevate a family to its pinnacle!!
Ye Xuan’s lips curved into a devilishly charming and enigmatic arc.
He calmly looked at Cang Dinghe and finally spoke, "Everything in life should follow the principle of first come, first served. I happen to need this Gathering Spirit Stone as well, I have no intention to be enemies with your Cang Family. From what you’ve said, it seems like your Cang Family already has a Gathering Spirit Stone stationed, so why be so greedy?"
"In the Ancient Tomb Ruins, there is no such thing as first come, first served."
Cang Dinghe sneered, "My Cang Family indeed already has a Gathering Spirit Stone, but if the Cang Family could own two such treasures, the strength of the clansmen would undoubtedly advance faster. It won’t be long before we might be the number one family in the Hidden Dragon, wouldn’t you say I’d be greedy?"
Ye Xuan squinted his eyes slightly, smiling without saying a word.
Cang Dinghe continued, "As for what you mentioned about being enemies with the Cang Family... hehe, kid, you’ve only made a slight name for yourself in the Mortal World, but in the eyes of the Cang Family, ultimately, you’re still an ant. Saying you’re an enemy? You’re not qualified to speak these words yet."
"Oh?" Ye Xuan laughed, "Is that so?"
"Hmph!" Cang Dinghe lost patience, snorting coldly, "Enough nonsense, today the Gathering Spirit Stone in your hand must be handed over, or else, I’ll only step over your corpses to seize it. What’s your choice?"
Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders, directly pushing Lou Yaoyao off his back, without a word, he took down the Dragon Blood Sword he was carrying.
The Dragon Blood Sword suddenly unsheathed, the sword light swept across, and a faint sound of sword singing echoed.
Ye Xuan stood with the sword, looking calmly at Cang Dinghe, as his gaze gradually turned colder, his voice like a thunderous roar, "The Gathering Spirit Stone is in my hand, if you want to seize it, cut!!"
