319 Zhao Huaifeng Will Take Revenge for the Smallest Grievance
Ye Xuan checked A’tian’s condition. He was barely alive. He didn’t have much cultivation to begin with, and he was hit by Zhao Huaifeng. If he didn’t receive supreme-grade spirit herbs, he could only await death.

Ye Xuan took out a pill and fed it to A’tian without hesitation.

Zhao Huaifeng’s eyes narrowed as he watched Ye Xuan’s actions. If his eyes did not deceive him, the golden patterns on the pill were enough to show that it was extraordinary.

Even a dead person could be brought back from hell with that pill, let alone a dying person. It could be said that having this pill was equivalent to having an extra life.

He had seen it in the clan’s treasure vault before. It was almost worshipped as a divine elixir, and only the clan leader could approach it. It looked somewhat similar to what Ye Xuan had just fed A’tian.

What was Ye Xuan’s background? He could casually offer out such a supreme-grade pill without even blinking. Based on his sources, Ye Xuan and this youth had only met by chance.

Ye Xuan had no idea how much of a shock his actions had brought to Zhao Huaifeng. After all, he had a lot of these pills. He got some from the secret realms and he received more from the sects in Jingdu.

It could be said that the treasures he had on him were enough to support a medium-sized sect.

The pill quickly took effect. After all, it was a supreme-grade pill. A’tian slowly opened his eyes. He was a little confused and in disbelief. He said, “I’m actually not dead?”

He clearly remembered that he had been hit by someone from behind. He experienced a heart-wrenching pain. The moment he passed out, it was as if his internal organs had shifted. A’tian thought that he would not be able to survive that attack.

A’tian touched his chest, but he couldn’t feel any pain. It was as if what had happened just now was just an illusion. Zhao Huaifeng couldn’t help but gasp at the sight of A’tian’s lively appearance.

Even the pill enshrined in the treasure vault probably couldn’t achieve this effect, which only proved that the pill Ye Xuan had just taken out was of a higher grade.

What was this person’s background?

Seeing that Zhao Huaifeng was finally become obedient and that A’tian was no longer in danger, Ye Xuan asked, “Tell me, what’s up with Xiao Mingyan?”

His life was in Ye Xuan’s hands, so Zhao Huaifeng didn’t dare to hide anything and told Ye Xuan everything he knew.

“The Xiao clan announced to the public that Xiao Mingyan had gone berserk while cultivating, but in reality, his supreme dragon bone was extracted and he was chased out of the Xiao clan due to his serious injuries. His whereabouts are currently unknown, and he might already be dead.”

Ye Xuan was a little startled by this news as he exclaimed, “What?”

He had never thought that Xiao Mingyan’s supreme dragon bone would actually be extracted.

Ye Xuan frowned slightly and asked, “You’re not lying to me, are you? Xiao Mingyan is the Xiao clan’s eldest young master, and his cultivation is extraordinary. How could the Xiao clan do something like this?”

Zhao Huaifeng shook his head repeatedly. He assured Ye Xuan, “My life is in your hands. I wouldn’t dare lie to you. This was something that the Zhao clan found out by accident.”

When Ye Xuan recalled the familiar aura he felt from Xiao Wuyou, he had a bold speculation.

However, no matter how he considered it, it felt impossible. Both of them were descendants of the clan leader. Would the Xiao clan actually go to such lengths?

Ye Xuan couldn’t make sense of it. Perhaps there was some hidden factor that he did not know about. Whether it was the Xiao clan or Xiao Wuyou, neither of them would tell the truth. If he wanted to know the truth, he would probably have to find Xiao Mingyan.

Ye Xuan commanded, “Get lost. Don’t let me see you again.”

Ye Xuan let go of Zhao Huaifeng. He had never intended to take his life. The Zhao clan was one of the four great clans and had high status in Jade City. If he really killed Zhao Huaifeng, the Zhao clan would probably come after him.

He also had to find Xiao Mingyan’s whereabouts. If he offended the Zhao clan, it would not be a wise move. Moreover, the hatred between the two had not reached the point where they would not rest until one of them died.

Zhao Huaifeng stumbled back a few steps, but his men helped him steady himself. He glanced at Ye Xuan with a dark expression. He then ordered his men, “Let’s go!”

Upon returning to Zhao Manor, Zhao Huaifeng smashed everything he could get his hands on. He gritted his teeth and shouted, “Ye Xuan, I will never forgive you!”

He had never been so embarassed before. Not only was a sword put against his neck, but he was also humiliated and threatened.

Zhao Huaifeng was a vengeful person. He wasn’t grateful for Ye Xuan’s mercy. Instead, he was even more resentful. He asked his men, “I asked you to investigate that kid’s background. How’s your progress?”

One of his men replied, “He is most likely just passing by Jade City. Other than Xiao Mingyan, he doesn’t know anyone else in the city, nor does he have any connections with anyone. It seems like he’s from Jingdu.”

Unfortunately, his men didn’t manage to find anything useful, but that was enough for Zhao Huaifeng.

Zhao Huaifeng’s expression was ruthless as he said in a dark tone, “Since he doesn’t know anyone in Jade City, then even if he dies here, no one will know, right?”

His subordinate was a little hesitant as he asked, “What if the clans from Jingdu really investigate…”

Zhao Huaifeng glared at him and chided, “What do you know?”

Regardless of Ye Xuan’s background, he was alone here. If Zhao Huaifeng took the right steps to deal with Ye Xuan, even if the latter had a strong background, no one from Jingdu would be able to find out. After all, the mighty dragon couldn’t crush a local snake in its haunt.

The reason why Zhao Huaifeng wanted to kill Ye Xuan wasn’t just for revenge; he was also envious of the treasures Ye Xuan possessed.

Since he was so generous as to take out a supreme-grade pill, it meant that he must have even better treasures on him.

Zhao Huaifeng knew that Ye Xuan was definitely not an ordinary wandering cultivator and he might have some background since he had come from Jingdu. However, Jade City was so far from Jingdu. Even if the news reached Jingdu, he would have already cleaned up by then.

He cursed, “This time, I’ll make sure he dies a horrible death!”

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Zhao Huaifeng sent out a few of the Zhao clan’s top experts, even some of the elders. He believed that Ye Xuan could not escape from his grasp.
