"Hmph! The Guardian Spirit Clan truly doesn’t know what’s good for them, they actually dare to covet Xiaoxiao’s bloodline power!"

Upon hearing Ye Jianying mention they were targeting Ling Xiaoxiao, Liu Qingyang and the others guessed the intention of the Guardian Spirit Clan.

"I shouldn’t have let him go earlier!" Ye Tianwei said angrily.

"Things are probably not as simple as you think. Since the appearance of Lord Soul Extinction, the seven major forces have kept a low profile and dare not show themselves, not to mention Blood War God. After that battle, they are also wary of when Dantong might emerge, so they wouldn’t want to be enemies with Feng Wuchen at this time." Ye Jianying said solemnly.

"Then why do they still dare to act?" Ye Tianwei asked in confusion.

Zhang Junlan frowned and said, "I think they’re trying to take advantage of the major forces being in seclusion, and knowing we’re here at Beast Spirit Mountain, they want to seize this opportunity to capture Xiaoxiao’s bloodline power."

"Either they’ve advanced to Transcendent Saint, or they’ve found a powerful backer, but it’s still a mystery. I let him go just to figure out what’s going on." Ye Jianying said.

"A powerful backer? Is there anyone stronger in the Seven Divine Realms? That old monster Xuan You doesn’t seem like he’d help them, right? Zhu Sha is severely injured, so it’s impossible." Liu Qingyang didn’t believe there was any powerful backer.

"I don’t know either." Ye Jianying shook his head and then said, "Notify the others to head to the cavern I mentioned immediately. Your performance during this period of training has been impressive. Life-and-death experiences greatly aid your cultivation. With the spatial ring and Nitian Divine Pearl, these are crucial for your breakthrough to the Divine Sovereign realm."

After speaking, Ye Jianying disappeared in a flash, planning to secretly follow the members of the Guardian Spirit Clan to gather more information.

"Quickly inform the others, we must break through to the Divine Sovereign realm as well. There is a Divine Sovereign beast in the cavern. This will be our most terrifying life-and-death battle," Ling Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

Don’t be fooled though, Ling Xiaoxiao and the others had only trained at Beast Spirit Mountain for half a month, but each day was a life-or-death situation. Ye Jianying specifically lured powerful beasts for them to engage in life-and-death battles.

After every life-and-death moment, they would immediately enter the spatial ring for cultivation, combined with the help of the Nitian Divine Pearl.

It was because of this that in less than half a month, Ling Xiaoxiao and the others’ cultivation skyrocketed, stepping into the Divine Emperor realm. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

The life-and-death training over the past few days was preparation for their breakthrough to the Divine Sovereign realm.

...

On the other side, Ye Jianying secretly followed the Guardian Spirit Clan member to their clan.

"Reporting to the Clan Leader, the intelligence was incorrect. The people from the Dragon God Palace are not in the Divine Monarch realm; they have stepped into the Divine Emperor realm. That Ling Xiaoxiao possesses an Eight-Star Divine Emperor realm. All our people died, except for me who survived. They also know we are from the Guardian Spirit Clan," the clan member said fearfully, never forgetting Liu Qingyang and Dong Zhantian’s eagerness to kill him.

"Divine Emperor realm?" The higher-ups were stunned.

"An Eight-Star Divine Emperor’s combat power? That brat Bai Xuan claimed they were all Divine Monarchs, how could they elevate so quickly, even with a spatial ring and Nitian Divine Pearl?" an elder frowned, hardly believing it.

"If Divine Emperor isn’t enough, then send a Divine Sovereign. Capture Ling Xiaoxiao within three days. If that ’honored one’ gets displeased, not only me, the entire Guardian Spirit Clan will cease to exist!" Bai Yunqi said coldly, the fear in his voice apparent.

Bai Yunqi didn’t care about Ling Xiaoxiao’s cultivation. He only wanted to capture Ling Xiaoxiao as soon as possible.

If she wasn’t captured, the consequences were something Bai Yunqi couldn’t bear.

"Clan Leader, it’s just a Divine Emperor. Let me go, I assure you I’ll bring Ling Xiaoxiao back without anyone noticing," a Divine Sovereign expert volunteered.

"Go and return swiftly!" Bai Yunqi ordered.

As the Divine Sovereign expert left, Bai Yunqi continued, "You’ve followed us to the Guardian Spirit Clan. Shouldn’t you show yourself now? We do know how to treat guests."

"I knew I couldn’t hide from you. What surprises me is that Clan Leader Bai has also entered the Hua Sheng Realm," Ye Jianying boldly manifested himself in the main hall.

"So it’s the Supreme Jianying who shakes the Seven Divine Realms," the great elder smiled faintly, his old eyes showed undisguised disdain.

The higher-ups weren’t shocked by Ye Jianying’s appearance.

Because they could guess, if someone survived to return, there must have been someone following him.

"Ye Jianying, you’re quite bold, daring to intrude into the Guardian Spirit Clan. Aren’t you afraid you won’t get out alive? We don’t pay attention to a mere One-Star Main God," Bai Yunqi said coldly, his disdainful gaze barely lingering on Ye Jianying.

Ye Jianying shrugged, unconcerned, "In the past, not to mention the Guardian Spirit Clan, even the God Slayer organization would terrify me."

"Oh? So you’re saying you’re not afraid of the Guardian Spirit Clan now?" a Five-Star Main God said coldly, his terrifying aura locking onto Ye Jianying.

"Haha!" Bai Yunqi couldn’t help but laugh uproariously.

"It seems Clan Leader Bai is quite happy. Mind sharing with me?" Ye Jianying smiled, indeed showing no sign of fear.

"Share with you? What are you? In my eyes, you’re just an ant, understand?" Bai Yunqi said disdainfully.

"Never mind if you’re not sharing. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going." Ye Jianying shrugged, turning to leave.

"Did I say you could leave?" Bai Yunqi ordered coldly.

"Ye Jianying, you want to go to Beast Spirit Mountain? Afraid Ling Xiaoxiao might get caught?" an elder sneered, looking at Ye Jianying like he was an idiot.

"Just relying on that Three-Star Divine Sovereign trash?" Ye Jianying scoffed disdainfully.

"Ye Jianying, don’t think you can intrude into the Guardian Spirit Clan and still leave alive. Do you know what it means to be a lamb entering a tiger’s den?" Bai Yunqi looked at Ye Jianying as if he were a fool and asked.

"Enough scaring me. Don’t boast about how strong the Guardian Spirit Clan is in front of me. If you dared to kill me, you would have done it already. Why all the needless talk?" Ye Jianying retorted unceremoniously, leaving the hall without looking back.

Where did Ye Jianying get the courage to say such things?

Is he out of his mind?

Doesn’t he realize this is the Guardian Spirit Clan?

"Ye Jianying, have you eaten a bear’s heart and leopard’s gall? You dare to be arrogant in front of me? I want to see what gives you the right to be so arrogant!" Bai Yunqi squinted his eyes, unable to tolerate anyone behaving recklessly in the Guardian Spirit Clan.

"Then try killing me!" Ye Jianying stepped out of the hall.

"Killing you would be like crushing an ant!" a Three-Star Main God shouted coldly, viciously attacking and dashing towards Ye Jianying at lightning speed.

"Sacred Decree! Samsara Shadowless Sword!" Ye Jianying’s chant sounded faintly.

"Samsara Shadowless Sword!" Bai Yunqi and the three great elders were shocked.
