Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 325 The favorite disciple was afraid that he would eat it, so he directly packed the person up and took him away!

The city of Saint Dan was just waking up in the early morning. There were few pedestrians on the streets, with only a few early-rising vendors tidying up their stalls.

A faint medicinal fragrance permeated the air, a unique scent characteristic of Saint Dan City.

"Let's go to the teleportation plaza in the north of the city first."

Xiao Bai grabbed Little Fairy Doctor's wrist with his other hand, and turned around.

"There is a teleportation array there that goes directly to Ye City. Luoshen Gorge is not far from Ye City, so it can save a lot of time."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded, and the two of them moved like the wind, quickly arriving at a huge circular square in the east of the city.

Dozens of stone platforms stand in the center of the square, each covered with intricate spatial runes.

"Go to Ye City." Little Fairy Doctor showed a badge to the Pill Tower disciple guarding the teleportation array.

Upon seeing the badge, the disciple immediately bowed respectfully: "Please follow me, sir."

Seeing Xiao Bai's curiosity about the badge in his hand, Little Fairy Doctor handed it to him and said with a smile:

"This was given to me by Senior Xuan Yi. She said that even though I am not a disciple of the Pill Tower, I can go anywhere outside the core area of ​​the Pill Tower with this badge."

Xiao Bai fiddled with the badge, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "Besides cultivating, you haven't been spending all this time in the Pill Tower's library, have you?"

Yesterday, I saw that Little Fairy Doctor had organized a lot of pill formulas and medicinal properties notes in her room. It seems that this girl has probably been studying alchemy for the past six months.

The little fairy doctor tightened her grip, a faint blush rising on her pretty cheeks, her eyes darting around.

"I'm just browsing!"

"I'll learn it, it's not like it's anything shameful."

Xiao Bai chuckled, squeezed her delicate hand, and said indulgently, "Once you completely control your constitution, Xian'er, you will become an alchemist!"

Little Fairy Doctor suddenly looked up, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she gazed at Xiao Bai. She pursed her pink lips and gently nodded her little head.

"My lords, the teleportation array is ready," the Dan Tower disciple respectfully reminded them.

Xiao Bai nodded, took Little Fairy Doctor's hand, and stood on the stone platform. As a dazzling white light flashed, their figures gradually blurred.

After the two figures completely disappeared, a shadow slowly crawled out from the shadows in a corner not far away and stood up.

The dark figure gazed deeply at the teleportation array before transforming into a wisp of green smoke and flying towards the center of Saint Pill City.

Inside an exquisite pavilion near the Danta Tower, the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

A young man dressed in white, looking like a nobleman, was leisurely sipping fine spiritual tea, his slender fingers gently caressing the rim of the cup, his eyes gleaming.

Judging from his appearance, it was none other than Song Qing, who had always harbored ill will towards Xiao Bai.

"Young master."

A dark figure appeared silently outside the door, knelt on one knee, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"That person has already left Saint Dan City."

"So fast?"

Song Qing paused slightly in his teacup, a chilling smile playing on his lips:

"Did you see where he went?"

"Northern city teleportation array, towards Ye City."

The shadowy figure lowered his head and reported to his superior, "I personally witnessed them disappear into the teleportation array."

"Good! Very good!"

Song Qing suddenly stood up, casually tossing the teacup onto the table, spilling tea and leaving a water stain on the expensive rosewood table.

He didn't care at all, and threw his head back and laughed loudly, his laughter filled with twisted pleasure.

The shadowy figure knelt silently, not daring to utter a word.

After laughing, a cold glint flashed in Song Qing's eyes:

"Shadow Nine, continue following him. Remember, keep your distance and only confirm his direction of travel. That person has a powerful soul and keen senses, so be careful not to alert him."

"Understood, subordinate." Ying Jiu bowed his head and replied, his figure gradually blending into the shadows and disappearing from sight.

After Ying Jiu left, Song Qing took out a communication jade slip from his storage ring and activated it.

The jade slip emitted a faint light and hovered in front of him.

"How's it going?"

"Rest assured, young master, everything is going smoothly. All your arrangements have been communicated!"

"You haven't been exposed, have you?"

"No, I got all the information from third parties, especially from Ice River Valley and Wind and Thunder Pavilion. They were very interested after hearing that the Dou Zun beside that person had left."

The voice in the jade slip paused for a moment, then hesitated and said:

"However, the remaining force is too mysterious for me to know much about, but I've certainly delivered the message!"

"It's alright, as long as the message gets through. Given their style and that person's status as an alchemist, they'll be interested, especially..."

A sinister smile crept across Song Qing's lips. He didn't continue speaking, but instead gave the order:

"Remember to stay in touch. I will inform you as soon as I get information about that person's whereabouts, and you can then pass it on to them."

"yes!"

The jade slip responded with a "yes" and then gradually dimmed.

Song Qing let out a long sigh, a sickly excitement appearing on his face.

He walked to the window, gazing at the bustling cityscape of Saint Dan, and murmured to himself:

"Xiao Bai, oh Xiao Bai, I hope you'll like this 'grand gift' I'm giving you!"

His eyes gleamed with ambition:

"Don't worry, once you're in dire straits, I'll immediately inform the teacher to avenge you, and then the Three Thousand Burning Flames will naturally fall into my hands."

He grew increasingly excited as he thought about it. "By then, my alchemy skills will surely improve by leaps and bounds, and my status in the Pill Tower will be unmatched. I might even be able to take a seat among the three giants!"

He walked to a bronze mirror, straightened his clothes, and saw a handsome face and refined demeanor in the mirror. No one would have guessed that such a vicious mind was hidden beneath this appearance.

"Ying Jiu should have caught up by now," Song Qing muttered to himself. "Now we just need to wait for good news."

He took out a flask of his treasured spirit wine, poured himself a drink, and his eyes gleamed with anticipation:

"Xiao Bai, no matter how good you are at fighting, in the end, everything you have will be mine."

Yecheng is a bustling trading city in the western region of Zhongzhou.

When Xiao Bai and Little Fairy Doctor stepped out of the teleportation array, they were greeted by the bustling atmosphere of the city.

Shops lined both sides of the street, with vendors calling out their wares, and the air was filled with the aroma of various medicinal herbs.

"Are you Mr. Xiao?"

Just as Xiao Bai was taking out a map to check the location of Luoshen Gorge, a slightly hesitant, aged voice rang out not far from them.

Do you know me?

Xiao Bai raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion as he watched the old man in blue robes jogging over with an excited expression.

"Haha. Mr. Xiao is a very important figure valued by the three presidents, so of course I know him."

Seeing that Xiao Bai remained expressionless, she felt somewhat embarrassed and chuckled awkwardly:

"Oh dear, I got so excited I forgot to introduce myself. Please forgive me, Mr. Xiao!"

"I am Ye Zhen, from the Ye family, one of the five great families of Dan Tower."

Ye family?

Xiao Bai immediately understood. It wasn't surprising that the Ye family knew him, but their attitude seemed a bit too enthusiastic.

Could it be that they want to use his connections to preserve their family's position in the Dan Tower?

If that's the case, he has absolutely no interest in it.

He nodded calmly: "So it's the Ye family. May I ask what brings you here?"

Ye Zhen noticed Xiao Bai's distant attitude and quickly waved his hand, saying:

"Mr. Xiao, you misunderstand. I just happened to be here on business. When I saw you coming out of the teleportation array, I thought I'd come over and say hello."

He paused, glanced at Little Fairy Doctor, and added:

"If Mr. Xiao and this young lady need any help in Ye City, please don't hesitate to ask. The Ye family still has some influence here."

Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly and quietly tugged at Xiao Bai's sleeve, signaling him to be cautious.

Xiao Bai understood and said with a faint smile, "Thank you for your kindness, but we're just passing by. Hmm?"

He suddenly looked up, gazing in a certain direction within the city. Sensing several familiar presences, a strange glint flashed in his eyes, and he remained silent for a moment.

"Why is this kid everywhere? I'm afraid I'll have to make a wasted trip to Senior Xuan Yi's place!"

Ye Zhen noticed his unusual expression and followed his gaze, her heart filled with joy.

"Mr. Xiao, that is my family's residence over there. If you are interested, why don't you go and have a seat, so that the Ye family can extend its hospitality?"

The Ye family was once a prominent family in the Dan Domain. Although they have lost their glory, they still hold absolute power in Ye City. As the rulers of this city, the family naturally occupies the most central area of ​​the city, occupying a vast territory.

"Lead the way!" Xiao Bai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Ye Zhen's face immediately lit up with a smile. He hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way, his voice trembling slightly, "Mr. Xiao, this way please!"

Although the Ye family has not been part of the core of the Dan Tower in recent years, he still heard some rumors about Xiao Bai's relationship with the three giants.

If this person develops even a slight liking for the Ye family and speaks well of them to the three presidents, the Ye family might actually be able to retain their position in the Pill Tower.

Even if we can't directly help the Ye family, it would be great to at least build a good relationship with them.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhen's steps became even lighter.

After passing through several bustling streets, a magnificent mansion came into view. Above the vermilion gate, the two gilded characters "Ye Mansion" gleamed in the sunlight.

"Mr. Xiao, this is my family's residence. Inside... um?"

The enthusiasm on Ye Zhen's face froze instantly. As if sensing something, a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.

"Mr. Xiao, my family is used to being arrogant; please excuse our behavior!"

"It's alright!"

Xiao Bai, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, even a slight smile playing on his lips.

At this moment, at the entrance of the Ye family's main hall, two figures were evenly matched, locked in a fierce battle. Their moves were devoid of any fancy flourishes, and their immense power generated bursts of sonic booms.

"Wow! In just one year, this guy has gotten even stronger!"

In a corner in front of the hall, a young man in black looked on in amazement, while a woman in red, arms crossed, rolled her eyes not far away.

"Who got stronger? Little Yanzi!"

A clear voice rang out, followed by a slight ripple in the void. Two people stepped out first, followed by an elderly man in blue robes with a look of shock and uncertainty on his face.

"I'll go."

Lin Yan looked at the figure walking beside him, his face instantly filled with disbelief. He quickly wiped his eyes and looked again.

Yes, that's the man!

"Xiao Bai!!"

"What are you doing here?!"

Xiao Bai smiled, looked Lin Yan up and down for a moment, then patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Tsk tsk. With your cultivation level, how come you're still only a two-star Dou Huang? My reputation as Xiao Bai is ruined. If word got out that I had a lackey like you, how embarrassing would that be!"

Lin Yan's smile froze instantly, her face darkening in a flash, and her lips, as if coated with honey, began to utter sweet words:

"roll!!"

"Do you think everyone's like you Xiao-surname perverts, changing your cultivation level every single day!"

Then, as if performing a dramatic change of expression, he put on a smile again and looked at Xiao Bai's side:

"Little Fairy Doctor, it's been a long time!"

Little Fairy Doctor nodded and smiled, then turned her gaze to the woman in red over there.

Seeing the gazes of the group, the woman lost her indifferent expression, and a blush rose on her cheeks. This scene left Xiao Bai and Little Fairy Doctor stunned.

They exchanged a glance, seemingly confirming some suspicion, and their gazes fell on the violent figure at the entrance of the hall.

"Miss Tang, how have you been?"

Little Fairy Doctor took the initiative to step forward and whispered to Tang Huo'er.

"Tell me, how did Xiao Yan end up fighting with the Ye family?" Xiao Bai withdrew his gaze, looked at the scene, and asked softly.

Lin Yan didn't answer immediately, but instead glanced furtively at Ye Zhen.

"Young friend, please don't mind me. I'd also like to know what's going on."

Ye Zhen had just witnessed Xiao Bai's ability to casually open a spatial passage, and his heart was still in turmoil. Upon seeing this, he immediately suppressed his shock and forced a kind smile onto his lips.

Seeing that Xiao Bai did not refuse, Lin Yan cleared his throat and said, "This matter started from Canaan Academy. When I broke through to the Douhuang realm in the academy, I thought of traveling to Zhongzhou. Before leaving, I went to Zixiao to arrange some affairs for someone to take over. I happened to meet Ye Xinlan, you know, the one over there. Later, I was entrusted by the Grand Elder to escort her back to Zhongzhou."

"Upon arriving in Ye City, we happened to run into Xiao Yan and Ye Xinlan. Xiao Yan said he wanted to see the Ye family's Yang Fire Ancient Altar, and Ye Xinlan seemed to have heard of Xiao Yan. It seems the two made a deal, and then they came to the Ye family together. Unexpectedly, everything was fine until Ye Xinlan mentioned the Yang Fire Ancient Altar, and the Ye family's gaze towards Xiao Yan became scrutinizing. And then you saw it."

Lin Yan shrugged and gestured to the crowd.

"They want to weigh your brother; it seems to be related to that deal!"

"!" Xiao Bai.

He knew the deal perfectly well; it was simply a matter of the Ye family letting Xiao Yan enter the Yang Fire Ancient Altar, and Xiao Yan helping the Ye family secure their position in the Pill Tower.

"Mr. Xiao, I apologize, it was the Ye family that was rude!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Ye Zhen immediately wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and repeatedly apologized:

"I will report this matter to the Grand Elder immediately, and the Ye family will definitely give you an explanation!"

"What's there to explain? It's just a friendly spar!"

Xiao Bai waved his hand. Although he was facing a one-star Dou Zong, Xiao Yan did not go all out. Otherwise, if the three-colored fire lotus had been unleashed, the elder of the Ye family would have been seriously injured, if not killed.

Besides, Tang Huo'er was watching from the side!

"stop!"

An aged voice suddenly rang out, and Ye Chong, the eldest elder of the Ye family, finally appeared.

With a flick of his sleeve, a powerful barrier of battle aura appeared between the two combatants.

"Elder!" Ye Zhen quickly stepped forward and bowed.

Ye Zhong ignored him, turning his gaze to Xiao Bai, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes:

"Haha. Today is truly a double celebration. Mr. Xiao's presence at my humble abode, and the opportunity to meet such a talented young friend as Xiao Yan, is an honor to the Ye family."

"Mr. Xiao, young friend Xiao, this gentleman, and these two ladies, please come in!"

Xiao Yan's gaze was strange, then it fell on Xiao Bai, his eyes filled with surprise:

"Brother Bai, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Bai nodded with a smile, his gaze subtly sweeping over the ring in his hand, feeling utterly speechless.

They practically fed her a free lunch, and look what happened!

The favored disciple, fearing he might eat the food, simply packed the person up and took him away!
