Chapter 1844 - 1845: Northwest, Independent Sects!
This young man, dressed in all black, resembling night clothes, was hidden in the darkness, completely out of place with the atmosphere of the bar.
No one noticed his presence, and he also paid no attention to others.
From beginning to end, his gaze was fixed on Ye Xuan.
There was hostility, and killing intent!
As if sensing Ye Xuan’s gaze, the young man slightly squinted his eyes, a cold, mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, as if in his eyes, Ye Xuan was already a dead man.
"Which family’s lackey?"
Feeling all of this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
This person was not tall, but his aura was very strong, obviously a master at the realm of Qigong, but to Ye Xuan, he posed little threat.
Because Ye Xuan could tell at a glance that his strength was about equal to You Chengzhi’s back then.
Yet the confidence and certainty in his eyes were undeniably real.
Being a Qigong master, with obvious hostility towards Ye Xuan, this person could not possibly be unaware of Ye Xuan’s performance at the Martial Arts tournament, still possessing this confidence, unless he had more formidable backing, there seemed to be no other explanation.
"Someone from the Qiao family?"
Ye Xuan squinted his eyes, speculating in secret.
The factions that have established enmity with him now are nothing more than the Qiao family, and the Superpower Association far beyond the East Sea; this person possessing Qigong, nine times out of ten, belongs to the Hidden Dragon Qiao Family.
Ye Xuan felt like swearing.
This was merely the first bar they visited, and they encountered people from the Hidden Dragon Qiao Family and Vampires consecutively, showing how terrifyingly alluring the treasure and Sky Mountain Blood Lotus emerging in the Northwest were.
Rather than mentioning the other factions yet to appear, the presence of just the Qiao family and Vampires already ensured that Ye Xuan’s journey wouldn’t be an easy one.
It’s bound to be a bloody battle!
Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze from the young man and intended to observe other extraordinary individuals.
Yet at this moment.
"Brother, brother, help me!"
A celestial voice like flowing clear springs reached Ye Xuan’s ears. Before he could even react, a soft and faintly fragrant body slid into his arms without warning.
"Hmm?"
Ye Xuan’s brows twitched. Seriously, was there a young lady trying to flirt with him?
Feeling the comfortable softness suddenly appearing in his arms, Ye Xuan suddenly grew hot, hastily lowering his head, only to be deeply astonished.
Oh my goodness...
In this bar in the Northwest, how is it possible that someone with such an extraordinary face exists?
This reminded Ye Xuan of his first encounter with Liu Ying.
This woman could only exist in heaven!
Her features were like exquisite porcelain, perfectly crafted and flawless.
Her temperament was pure and clear, yet it carried a natural enchantment and allure, two extreme qualities co-existing, without feeling awkward, even making one think these styles inherently belonged together.
She resembled a mix of Liu Ying and Su Yumo, yet she was uniquely herself!
At this moment, her eyes were brimming with moisture, trusting and anxious, relying on Ye Xuan’s embrace, her pitiful expression captivating anyone instantly.
A national calamity, truly a national calamity!
Ye Xuan was moved.
Even though he once swore privately never to get involved in romance again, at this moment, he felt like he was falling in love once more.
He even forgot the purpose of his trip, only wanting to protect this heavenly beauty.
"A seductress?"
Ye Xuan suddenly jolted, snapping awake.
He couldn’t be swayed by beauty, after all, a man must take care of himself outside and not let others take advantage.
Thus, Ye Xuan resolutely... casually wrapped an arm around the young lady’s slender waist.
The sensation was unparalleled.
At the same time, Ye Xuan frowned, looking down at the young lady with unrivaled masculinity, saying, "Miss, don’t worry, if you need my help, just say it!"
"Brother, someone wants to bully me!" the young lady said fearfully.
"Someone wants to bully you?" Ye Xuan was stunned.
"Yes!" the young lady nodded emphatically, "I came to the Northwest for sightseeing, feeling bored as I was alone, so I went to the bar for a drink or two, and those hooligans bullied me!"
As she spoke, the young lady raised her hand, pointing at a group approaching them.
Ye Xuan also looked up.
A group of about ten people was approaching, rough-looking and robust, carrying an impressive aura, clearly not commoners.
But they weren’t from the Martial Arts world, nor anywhere close to the Hidden Dragon level.
Because they wore animal skin vests with a primitive feel, sturdy arms adorned with a bizarre design that Ye Xuan had never seen.
Evidently, they belonged to the nearby Northwest factions.
Although the Martial Arts world is vast, not all forces in the vast Yan Country belong to it, especially in this remote Northwest, where most forces revered for their strength weren’t related to the Martial Arts.
Similar to the Xiangxi Snake Lord sect, whose mysterious and bizarre nature even surpassed many prominent Martial Arts sects, yet historically, the Snake Lord sect was never governed by nor involved in the Martial Arts world.
This category of sects is called, the scattered sects.
They establish their own sects and seem to inhabit separate worlds from others, each guarding a domain, some becoming Guardian Gods, others acting recklessly.
Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched, the young lady in his arms was a complete stranger, and he was uncertain of her background, should he help?
Before Ye Xuan could decide.
The dozen or so coarse men swaggered over.
The leader was a coarse man with a golden tooth.
Golden Tooth directly skipped over Ye Xuan, staring greedily at the young lady, rubbing his hands, and said with a grin, "Miss, don’t run away. Don’t be fooled by how I look, I’m really gentle!"
The young lady’s face instantly turned pale, hugging Ye Xuan even tighter, wishing to merge entirely into him.
She trembled slightly, very frightened.
Ye Xuan was covered in black lines, feeling a bit suffocated.
"Miss, the highland region already has thin air, if you keep sticking to me like this... if I pass out, will you give me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?"
Golden Tooth frowned at this, only then noticing Ye Xuan’s existence.
He looked at Ye Xuan, eyes fierce with anger: "Kid, are you trying to be a hero?"
Ye Xuan was taken aback, "What hero?"
"What hero?" Golden Tooth said sternly: "I fancy this young lady, and if you’re smart, you’ll let go, otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!"
As Golden Tooth spoke, his followers behind him grew restless, casting ferocious glances at Ye Xuan.
