Chapter 990 Meeting
At the moment when the Great Handprint collided with the Wood Sword, Xia Liu swiftly drew the Flowing Fire Sword!
Sss!
A strange sound spread, only to see the Wood Sword finally stop advancing.
Crack!
The next second, the sound of shattering appeared.
So clear to everyone's ears and eyes, the invincible Wood Sword shattered inch by inch, finally transforming into starry dots dancing with the wind.
The Great Handprint also dissipated into nature at this time.
Everything restored to its former calmness.
Around, only the heavy thumping of hearts could be heard.
"It succeeded!"
"Passed through the Bamboo Sea Sword Array!"
"Chief Xia is indeed mighty!"
"So domineering!"
"Powerful beyond belief!"
...
The onlookers exclaimed in amazement at this moment.
They had already forgotten their previous cold mockery.
The strength of Xia Liu was beyond everyone's expectation.
It was unimaginable how much terrifying power was hidden inside Xia Liu's slender body.
"Finally succeeded..."
Guo Man's eyes brimmed with two drops of hot tears, Xia Liu, through effort, had finally breached the Bamboo Sea Sword Array.
This meant he was eligible to seek Senior Ye Wuya...
"Thank you, senior, for your mercy..."
After sheathing the Flowing Fire Sword, Xia Liu clasped his fists respectfully toward the Bamboo Sea direction.
"Hmm?"
"What's going on?"
"To whom is Chief Xia calling senior again?"
"Could there be an even more powerful martial artist in the bamboo forest?"
"Wow! What is going on here?"
"Could it be..."
Ye Yuan's eyes widened, staring toward the Bamboo Sea, unable to calm his thoughts for a long time.
"You are not a descendant of the Ye Family."
Suddenly, in the midst of everyone's confusion, a heavy voice echoed from all directions.
Faced with this weighty question, although shocked, everyone calmed down.
"No, I..."
"Since you are not a descendant of the Ye Family, what is your purpose in challenging the Ye Family Spirit Sword Formation today? With your cultivation, you almost crushed the Spirit Sword Formation, could it be you are here to mock the Ye Family?"
Before Xia Liu could speak, Spirit Sound suddenly became agitated, seemingly upset.
"Senior Ye, don't misunderstand, I intend no disrespect."
Xia Liu quickly responded. Ye Wuya is a high-rank cultivator from the past, and Guo Man still needs to ask for his help, Xia Liu must not offend him...
Besides, it was a misunderstanding for heaven's sake.
Should he pretend to be weak and endure the arduous resistance against the Sword Array every time?
"Senior! Please don't be angry, this young man is Xia Liu, my friend, and a friend of the Ye Family, he absolutely would not belittle the Sword Array nor the Ye Family!"
At this moment, Ye Hai arrived at the scene, having heard Ye Wuya's resentful voice from afar.
Xia Liu coming to break the array is definitely related to Ye Wuya.
If Ye Wuya misunderstood something, it would certainly be very unfavorable for Xia Liu.
Of course, if Xia Liu bore a grudge against the Ye Family, in the future, it would certainly be the Ye Family that suffers losses.
Xia Liu possessing such supreme cultivation at such a young age, his future achievements are unquestionably formidable.
To make an enemy of a young man who could become a supreme powerhouse is undoubtedly the greatest folly.
"Oh? Ye Hai, you know him?"
Ye Wuya's voice turned to Ye Hai seeking an explanation.
"Yes, Xia Liu is the new Heavenly Mansion Chief and also the Supreme Elder of the Osmanthus Sect."
Ye Hai replied earnestly.
"Heavenly Mansion Chief, sect's Supreme Elder, reaching such cultivation at such age, quite talented, state your purpose, interesting boy."
Upon hearing Ye Wuya putting it that way, both Ye Hai and Xia Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Ye Xuan said that Senior Ye Wuya is proficient in pharmacology knowledge, so I wanted to ask Senior Ye for help in checking my unwed wife..."
Xia Liu explained his purpose, lavishly praising Ye Wuya in the process.
"I roughly understand, Little Xuan, take them in then..."
"Okay, Grandpa..."
With Ye Wuya's instructions, Ye Xuan immediately led Xia Liu and others into the bamboo forest.
Soon, their figures vanished into the Bamboo Sea.
"Family Head, are you familiar with Chief Xia?"
After Xia Liu and the others disappeared, Ye Yuan asked.
"Yes, Xia Liu, young as he is, possesses supreme cultivation, the Ye Family should certainly ally with him."
"Family Head! To what extent reaches Chief Xia's cultivation, he has just passed through the Bamboo Sea Sword Array, almost crushing it."
"That's right! Family Head, tell us."
"He looks to be only in his twenties, truly unknown how strong his cultivation is."
The youth of the Ye Family were incredibly curious, the appearance of Xia Liu of similar age had shattered their worldview.
The existence of someone their age who is so invincibly powerful...
"Chief Xia seems to be under twenty-seven years old, his cultivation I don't know either, but..."
Ye Hai pondered for a moment, not easy to explain...
"Family Head, but what?"
"Grandpa Hai, please quickly finish your words!"
"Please..."
Ye Hai had stirred the curiosity of all the young people.
"I can only say this, an Innate Late Stage martial artist, in front of Chief Xia, could not withstand two moves, by the third move, their Innate Late Stage would surely fall..."
Whoa...
"Even Martial Dao Peak martial artists are no match for him!"
"What kind of strength is this!"
"He probably already is at Martial Dao Peak..."
"Such terrifying strength..."
...
While the Ye Family members were exclaiming in astonishment, Ye Xuan led Xia Liu, Guo Man, and Ouyang Lingtian to the Bamboo Sea core.
Along the quiet path, vibrant wildflowers were visible everywhere.
Living in such a place would certainly be quite pleasant.
But none of them had any leisure to appreciate the natural beauty, all were contemplating how to greet Ye Wuya.
About ten minutes later, an almost withered riverbed appeared before their eyes.
Across the river, a simple thatched cottage stood quietly.
In front of the house, a white-haired elder was in repose with eyes closed.
He sat cross-legged on a wooden stump, his coarse garment showing his frugality and mystery.
According to Ye Xuan, Ye Wuya had lived in this bamboo forest for at least a hundred years.
The first time Ye Xuan saw Ye Wuya was when she was thirteen.
Now, sixteen years have passed, Ye Wuya still looks the same as before, unchanged.
"Grandpa, we're here..."
"Hmm, ten years have passed, yet you haven't come again, and your cultivation remains the same. What have you been thinking?"
As he opened his eyes, Ye Wuya immediately put on a stern face, speaking of Ye Xuan's failings in his words.
"Grandpa, you needn't worry about me, today's main problem is, help my friend take a look, she can sense nature's spiritual energy, but cannot absorb it into her body..."
Ye Xuan pouted slightly, avoiding Ye Wuya's question, diverting his attention to Guo Man and Xia Liu.
"Tell me about your matter later, as for her..."
Ye Wuya looked Guo Man up and down, his thoughts became unsettled.
