Chapter 157 Ch 157: Back To Illusory Spirit Gate
?
Ye Xiao looked at the elders' troubled expressions and sighed. Then he took out a Fiery Blood Crystal and said, "I'll not use the teleportation formation for free. I know it consumes a lot of resources to activate the teleportation formation. I'll take this opportunity in exchange for a Fiery Blood Crystal. I think this is more than enough price to pay, right?"
As Ye Xiao showed them the Fiery Blood Crystal in his hand, the elders and even Sect Leader's eyes lit up. Their breathing quickened and they seemed to have fallen into a trance.
It could not be helped. Although the Fiery Blood Crystal might be a common product in other Lands, it was an extremely rare material in the Land of Morning Stars.
"Fiery Blood Crystal... Haaa... How long has it been since I last saw one? I never thought I could see another Fiery Blood Crystal in my life again!"
The Great Elder of East Rising Sect could not help but sigh as he reminisced about a distant past when he was still young and came across a Fiery Blood Crystal inside a ruin.
Sect Leader's body also trembled. At first, he wanted to refuse Ye Xiao and not accept the Fiery Blood Crystal, but then again, he did not dare to refuse. Not to mention he was afraid that all elders present will oppose this decision, even he himself did not want to lose this treasure when it is coming into his hand on its own.
·??m He really could not bear to refuse to accept the Fiery Blood Crystal.
He laughed and spoke, "Hahaha... Ling Xiaolong, you are really a monstrous genius. You even have a treasure like Fiery Blood Crystal. Since you want to give me such a treasure, how could I refuse it? Just as you said, this Fiery Blood Crystal could be considered a payment for the activation of teleportation formation. I'll gladly accept this payment!"
How shameless!
These were two words that not only appeared in other elders' minds but also in Ye Xiao's mind. Ye Xiao's mouth twitched but he still gave the Fiery Blood Crystal to the Sect Leader.
He has thousands of this crystal inside his storage ring. Giving out one doesn't really matter.
"Third Elder!"
Now that the Fiery Blood Crystal was already in his hand, Sect Leader looked at the Third Elder and want to say something, but was interrupted by the Third Elder who said, "Sect Leader, don't worry, I'll immediately go and prepare to activate the teleportation formation!"
He understood the depth of this matter and knew he could not delay. A Fiery Blood Crystal was a heavenly treasure in every elder's eyes. If he really delay this matter, he would have to face the stern faces of other elders.
The Third Elder immediately left.
After that, Sect Leader chatted with Ye Xiao about some random things, and knowingly or unknowingly, he asked where Ye Xiao has been all this while.
Ye Xiao did not say anything about the other Lands. He only smiled and told the Sect Leader that after he returned to the Land of Morning Stars, he somehow ended up in the Star Forest Region. He has to use the Great Teleportation Formation of the Formation God Tower to teleport from the Star Forest Region to the Clody Star Region.
Now, this was yet another shocking matter.
How could just anyone use the Great Teleportation Formation to go back and forth to other regions?
Only those who have contributed greatly could do that.
He did not believe Ye Xiao is a Formation Master. Then his gaze fell on the Fiery Blood Crystal and could not help but think if Ye Xiao exchanged that opportunity with the Fiery Blood Crystal.
The more he thought, the more he felt like it is true.
His heart suddenly pained for some unknown reason. An expression of regret flashed on his face that he quickly hide.
It was not just him, the other elders were the same.
Very soon, the Third Elder sent the news that everything has been prepared.
Then the Sect Leader brought Ye Xiao to the Teleportation Formation and made Ye Xiao stand in the center of the formation.
Sect Leader of East Rising Sect sighed and muttered in his heart, "This Ling Xiaolong is a genius we could not afford to offend. It'll be beneficial to make a friendly relationship with him and his Ling Family."
After that, he looked at Ye Xiao and said, "I'll now activate the formation. In a few seconds, you'll be in the Illusory Spirit Gate!"
"I'm thankful, Sect Leader!" Ye Xiao nodded and again expressed his gratitude.
The Teleportation Formation was activated and Ye Xiao disappeared the next second.
After Ye Xiao's disappearance, the Sect Leader of East Rising Sect sighed and looked at the other elders present at the scene. Then he gave the Fiery Blood Crystal to the Great Elder and said, "Great Elder, you should know what to do with this treasure, right?"
"Don't worry, Sect Leader. I know!"
Great Elder replied with a mysterious smile on his face.
.....
_Illusory Spirit Gate_
Unlike the previous majestic Illusory Spirit Gate, the current Illusory Spirit Gate could be said to be completely ruined. Although hundreds of collapsed buildings have already been repaired, they still could not hide the ruined appearance of this once-glorified overlord force.
The current Illusory Spirit Gate has already fallen to the degree of becoming a secondary force. If not for Ling Wei Long and other such experts of the four families, many forces that have been weaker than the Illusory Spirit Gate previously would have already attacked to rob treasures.
And at that time, the other four overlord forces might not have interfered. Well, Ye Family might have come to aid, but the same could not be said about the other three overlord forces.
If there was still a magnificent building that did not collapse during the battle one year ago, then it was the main building where higher-ups of the Illusory Spirit Gate gather to decide something important.
And at the south corner of this building, there was a small hall on the second floor. This hall was not the main hall but was the Hall of Teleportation.
Yes, this was the name given to this hall because the Teleportation Formation connecting to the other four overlord forces was built inside this hall.
Two guards were guarding the hall when they suddenly felt an intense fluctuation of energy for some reason.
They hurriedly opened the gate of the Hall of Teleportation and went inside, only to discover a young man standing at the center of the formation. An overwhelming energy was surrounding his body and was slowly disappearing.
"You... Who are you?"
One of the guards came back to his senses and hurriedly asked.
Ye Xiao smiled at the two guards and said, "Go and inform my father and grandfather, tell them their Xiaolong has come back."
"Xiaolong?"
"Xiaolong... Ling Xiaolong... Young Master Xiaolong!"
The two guards were stunned and soon realized something. They looked at Ye Xiao with an astonished expressions on their faces and hurriedly nodded their head before running away. They soon separated and went to spread the news.
Ye Xiao's appearance was very important for the Illusory Spirit Gate. Now that Ye Xiao has come back, how could the guard not rush?
On the other hand, Ye Xiao used his teleportation skill to teleport out of the building. What greeted him outside was the dull Illsuory Spirit Gate, void of any charm that could tell this place once used to be an overlord force.
Ye Xiao gritted his teeth and his heart trembled. He did not expect the Illusory Spirit Gate to have fallen to such a degree. The current appearance of the Illusory Spirit Gate was worse than the City Lord Mansion of East Rising City.
Even though the City Lord Mansion of East Rising City was tens of hundreds of times smaller and weaker than the Illusory Spirit Gate, it was still bustling with life and vitality. People could be seen everywhere.
However, the Illusory Spirit Gate seemed to be completely empty. It was as if there never used to be people living here. Let alone bustle, not a single person could be seen in the far distance.
Only collapsed buildings, huge pits and holes on the ground, several marks of collision and weapons, and other such signs of terrifying battle could be seen everywhere.
Anger rose inside Ye Xiao's heart and for the first time, he felt like wiping out the existence of the culprit from the face of Chaos.
Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the surging anger in his heart and walked around to take a look. However, the more he walked, the more furious he became. He felt like suppressing his anger has become impossible.
In the end, he chose to stop and no longer wandered around.
After his rebirth, he was given an easy and loving life here. This place could be said to be his sweet home which was close to his heart. But now, this sweet home was destroyed.
