Chapter 111 It was Ye Xiaobai again who ruined our plans.
"He's lucky if he survives!" Zhao Qingtian said viciously.
"Patriarch, we just received news that Zhou Wenlei and the others have returned to the sect!" An elderly man dressed as a servant of the Zhao family jogged into the main hall and said urgently.
"Where is Mu Beifeng? How is he?" Zhao Qingtian asked anxiously.
"Someone saw Mu Beifeng return with Zhou Wenlei!" the old man said calmly.
"I understand, you can go now!" Zhao Qingtian said calmly, barely suppressing his anger.
"Yes, patriarch!" the old man said before leaving the council hall.
Once the old man's figure had completely disappeared, Zhao Qingtian slammed his hand down on a chair, shattering it, and angrily exclaimed, "It's all that old bastard Zhou Wenlei's fault for ruining everything!"
"I heard that Ye Xiaobai from Lingdan Peak also went there!" Zhao Dequan added.
"Fine, fine, it's that Ye Xiaobai who ruined our plans again. It seems we really can't let him get away with this this time!" Zhao Qingtian said resentfully.
"I heard that guy is now in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Even if you and I take action, it will probably be difficult to kill him!" Zhao Dequan said with a solemn expression.
"It seems we have no choice but to let the Ancestor take action. I didn't expect this guy to have grown to this level! If we don't intervene now, who knows how far he'll go!"
“The patriarch is absolutely right, we must not let it grow any further!” Zhao Dequan echoed.
"Have someone keep an eye on Ye Xiaobai. Notify me immediately if he leaves the sect!"
"Understood!"
"When is the Qingyun Sect planning to make their move? I feel that if they don't act soon, our Zhao family will be in danger!"
"I heard they've already finalized the date and will definitely let us know in advance!"
……
Ye Xiaobai's cultivation has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and with the addition of the fifth-tier Purple Flame Thunder Leopard, he can even fight against the early stage of Core Formation.
To enhance his strength, Ye Xiaobai continued to cultivate his sword techniques, hoping to reach the pinnacle of his sword intent as soon as possible.
After breaking through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Ye Xiaobai's divine sense was enhanced again, and his sense of smell, through cultivation, allowed him to smell scents from a great distance.
However, there is still bad news: Jing Qianli has not woken up yet, and the Jing Qianli in the mind seems to have shrunk a bit.
Ye Xiaobai didn't know what was going on either, so he could only investigate it later.
After cultivating for a while, Ye Xiaobai felt that his sword intent had reached a bottleneck and he could not break through it for the time being. He could only go out to relax and adjust his state.
The way of both literature and martial arts requires a balance of tension and relaxation, and the same applies to spiritual cultivation.
With that in mind, Ye Xiaobai decided to go out of the market and see if he could find anything good.
As soon as Ye Xiaobai left the cave, he noticed an unfamiliar scent following him. Ye Xiaobai was immediately alarmed, wondering who had followed him.
We absolutely mustn't alert them! Ye Xiaobai remained calm, as if he hadn't noticed anything, and nonchalantly walked towards the market. Before long, he arrived at his destination—the market.
As usual, the place was bustling with noise and excitement!
The streets were lined with all sorts of stalls, displaying a dazzling array of goods: rare and precious elixirs, fragrant herbs, and talismans imbued with mysterious power... The whole scene was exceptionally prosperous and bustling.
Ye Xiaobai strolled leisurely among them. He would stop from time to time, casually picking up some pills to examine them closely, seemingly quite interested in these treasures.
However, only he himself knew that he was doing this merely to deceive others.
In fact, he kept his attention focused on the surrounding noises, secretly observing whether there was anything unusual.
Ye Xiaobai's sharp eyes spotted a shop selling weapons and he stepped inside without hesitation.
Seeing a customer arrive, the shopkeeper greeted him with a beaming smile and great enthusiasm: "Brother Daoist, what kind of magical artifact or spiritual weapon do you need? My shop has a wide variety of goods, I guarantee you'll find something to your liking!"
Ye Xiaobai replied directly, "Bring out the most expensive magical artifact in your shop so I can take a look!"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper was overjoyed and quickly agreed, "Yes, sir! Please wait a moment, fellow Daoist!" With that, he turned and went into the back room to retrieve the valuable spiritual artifact.
Seeing the shop owner enter the inner room, Ye Xiaobai nimbly found a secluded spot, quickly took out a disguise pill from his pocket, and swallowed it.
In an instant, his face changed drastically, becoming completely different from before. Then, he changed into another outfit of a different color, in an attempt to perfectly disguise himself.
After everything was arranged, Ye Xiaobai quietly left, as if he had never stepped into the shop.
The shopkeeper had just come out when he realized Ye Xiaobai was gone. Looking at the precious spiritual weapon in his hand, he immediately started cursing, "You damn bastard! You're just messing with me if you don't buy anything!"
Ye Xiaobai couldn't care less about that now. Not long after leaving that shop, he discovered that the gray-clad man who had been following him had run to the weapon shop where they had just been looking for him.
"What kind of weapon would you like, fellow Daoist?" The shopkeeper immediately put away his angry expression and asked with a smile when he saw a new customer enter.
"Where is the white-clad guest who just came in?" the gray-clad man asked anxiously.
"He just left!" The shopkeeper looked at the gray-clad man with a puzzled expression and replied casually.
Upon hearing the shopkeeper's words, the man in gray was immediately alarmed and ran outside the shop, looking around at the crowd on the street, trying to find Ye Xiaobai.
Looking at the bustling scene of people coming and going on the street, the man in gray completely lost track of Ye Xiaobai, and his pursuit had failed.
Ye Xiaobai had changed his clothes again and was calmly and leisurely drinking spiritual tea while observing the gray-clothed man's every move.
The man in gray carefully examined the area but still couldn't find any trace of Ye Xiaobai. He had no choice but to give up the pursuit and decided to return and report the situation.
Ye Xiaobai naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to investigate who was following him, so he immediately followed the gray-clad man at a distance.
With his exceptional sense of smell, Ye Xiaobai easily followed the gray-clad man unnoticed.
When the man in gray returned, he was extremely cautious, repeatedly looking back to see if anyone was following him. However, Ye Xiaobai easily evaded him each time.
Not long after, the man in gray arrived at the location of the Zhao family's ancestral land, and Ye Xiaobai gave up continuing to follow him.
The result is quite obvious.
The person following them is from the Zhao family.
"It seems the Zhao family is still going to make a move against me?" Ye Xiaobai immediately guessed.
"Strength, strength! I heard that the Zhao family has a Core Formation stage cultivator, while I am only at the late Foundation Establishment stage. My strength is still insufficient," Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh again.
My cultivation level has just been advanced and cannot be improved immediately. Monsters can enhance my combat power, but rare monsters like the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard are hard to come by.
Ah, right, puppets are not bad either. Thinking of this, Ye Xiaobai suddenly felt that he had found one of the effective ways to enhance his combat power.
