Chapter 134 - 133 First Grade

Realm Transformation!

At the same time, the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique at the realm transformation level appeared in his mind.

"So complicated! So profound!"

After carefully going through it, Chen Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.

But..... this has nothing to do with him; he’s not concerned.

What he’s concerned about is how many skill points this realm transformation requires.

"System!"

Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Realm Transformation (0/100000))!

"Damn!"

Not only was it doubled, but they directly gave him a round number, a full 100,000 points.

Chen Xuan just felt his vision go black.

This could be the death of little Chen.

Calculating by the skill points he currently earns daily, it would take at least three months.

It’s usually fine, but right now what he lacks is time.

Phew—

The joy of successful evolution faded away.

Shaking his head, he got up, exhausted, left the room, and went to the small courtyard, just in time to hear the creak of the courtyard door opening.

Seeing Ye Yilan slowly walk in.

Their eyes met.

"Greetings, Lord Mansion Master, is there something you want from this youngster at such a late hour?" Chen Xuan bowed respectfully.

"Enough of that, I wouldn’t dare order you around, just be grateful if you don’t cause me trouble!"

If it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t have had to swallow his pride to ask Hongtu’s four for help; those favors are hard to repay.

"Heh heh!"

Chen Xuan wore a smile, completely unconcerned.

"But I do have something to tell you—tomorrow Bai Ze should come to the City Lord’s Mansion looking for you. Even though there’s this array, you better behave yourself!"

"Yes!"

Hearing it was Bai Ze, the smile on his face instantly faded.

"Also, if—I’m saying if—you’re found out, don’t resist. Play dumb if you have to. You should be good at this, understand?"

Just in case, some things have to be said in advance, otherwise, it would be troublesome if the secret is exposed.

With him there, even if Bai Ze’s upset, he wouldn’t act on impulse.

"Don’t worry, Mansion Master, this youngster understands."

"Hmm!"

Ye Yilan nodded slightly. Actually, what worried him the most was not this but rather Xuan Er.

The Breaking Realm First Grade is fraught with dangers, who knows how things are going now.

"Hope he’s alright."

....

Early the next day, Bai Ze, Bai Qi, and the previous two Second-Grade experts came to the City Lord’s Mansion.

In the main hall,

Ye Yilan sat at the top as usual.

With a face full of confusion, he said, "Bai Ze, are you saying I’ve hidden Chen Xuan?"

"Isn’t that so? Do I need to remind you who he is? Who else but you would do such a thing?"

Bai Ze sneered, so adept at pretending!

"Yes, he’s the apprentice of Xuan Er, something I’ve only known for a short while too."

Ye Yilan straightforwardly admitted it, as it was something that couldn’t be hidden any longer.

"As long as you know, then let the youngster come out. The army will depart tomorrow. Since this youngster is from the Divine Capture Bureau, he must go to the front. I think you know the consequences of defying military orders, right?"

Bai Ze’s words were laced with threats, this time they had four Second-Grade experts, there was no need to be polite to him anymore.

"You wrong me, I really didn’t do it this time. You know I’ve been assisting you in recruiting in Youlan Mansion these days, and those aristocratic families have troubled me a lot. To persuade them, I’ve made a lot of efforts."

"As for the matter of Chen Xuan, I truly don’t know," Ye Yilan wore a busy appearance, all for you, so I’m not sure.

In short, denying the affair.

"Mansion Master Ye, let’s see if you’re still stubborn when we find him later." At this moment, Bai Qi stood up, ceasing further conversation, and pulled out a silver needle from his bosom.

Then a red spiritual power was infused into the silver needle.

In an instant, the silver needle floated into the air, transforming into a silver rod about ten meters long.

With each infusion of spiritual power from Bai Qi, the silver rod emitted a dazzling silver light.

Suddenly, the silver rod transformed into a silver light flying towards the east of the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Not good!"

At this time, Ye Yilan secretly exclaimed, the direction was exactly towards the small courtyard.

Just as he was about to give chase, Bai Ze stopped him, "No rush, the Heaven-Reaching Rod only seeks for auras above the Third Grade, it won’t harm anyone."

"You...." Ye Yilan’s eyes were cold, his tone icy, "This is my City Lord’s Mansion, how dare you be presumptuous!"

"Presumptuous is just presumptuous! Once I find him, your presumptuousness will be even bolder!"

Bai Ze looked at him with disdain.

This time, he planned to kill Chen Xuan, wanting to see if Xuan Er could hold back.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise resounded from the City Lord’s Mansion.

The next moment, the Heaven-Reaching Rod returned to the hall.

"Heh, just a mere array." Bai Qi smiled slightly, then retrieved the Heaven-Reaching Rod.

At the same time, Bai Ze sensed slightly, then proudly looked at the ashen-faced Ye Yilan, "Not in your City Lord’s Mansion, then who is he?"

At that moment, Chen Xuan in the small courtyard sensed the array being breached and knew he couldn’t hide anymore.

"Since that’s the case...."

He then walked through the air, arriving at the hall entrance in an instant, then slowly walked in.

Directly ignoring the others, after slightly bowing and saluting, he finally spoke, "Lord Mansion Master has been really busy lately, it’s been hard to meet you even once."

"Oh... when did you come to my City Lord’s Mansion? How come I haven’t heard about it?"

"It was a few days ago when Miss Ye Jincen invited my wife to come, so I came along as well. Perhaps you were too busy and your subordinates forgot to report to you."

"Hmm, it seems so. It’s really been too busy lately."

Meanwhile, Bai Ze quietly watched the two perform their act until they finished, then looked at Chen Xuan and coldly asked, "Ignoring my military orders, do you know you’ve committed a capital offense!"

"Ah?" Chen Xuan feigned a look of surprise, appearing quite puzzled, "No, when did I ignore your military order? No one came looking for me!"

"Hehe!" Bai Ze laughed coldly, his gaze as if looking at a dead man, "No matter what you say, it’s useless. In my eyes, you’re already a dead man!"

As he spoke, the pressure of a Second-Grade peak came crashing down on Chen Xuan like a tide.

"Bai Ze, you are being presumptuous!"

Ye Yilan didn’t expect him to act like this, not even asking questions. Today, he clearly had no intention of letting Chen Xuan go.

"Bai Qi, stop him!"

Bai Ze ordered, and in the next moment, besides Bai Qi, the other two also stood in front of Ye Yilan. Three Second-Grades, though two were mediocre, Bai Qi was a real Second-Grade peak, not weaker than him at all.

At this moment, under Bai Ze’s Second-Grade pressure, Chen Xuan felt the spiritual power within him was like frozen, completely unable to mobilize.

Unable to use spiritual power, even Shenzhutong couldn’t be used.

"Just a mere Third-Grade, even with Shenzhutong, what can you do? Unable to use spiritual power, you’re just trash!"

Bai Ze slowly walked towards him, getting closer and closer until he stopped a step away.

"Die!"

He punched out!

"Get away!" At this moment, Ye Yilan shouted explosively, his strength fully erupting without reservation, and in an instant, he threw countless punches towards the three in front of him.

But even so, the three still didn’t move an inch.

They blocked him tightly.

"It’s over!"

Seeing Bai Ze’s punch about to hit Chen Xuan’s body, Ye Yilan was in despair.

"Buzz...."

A buzzing sound echoed in the hall.

Suddenly, time seemed to stop.

At this moment, Bai Ze’s punch was only a finger’s breadth away from Chen Xuan.

But it stopped!

"Xuan Er!"

Bai Ze was suddenly shocked, yelling out, it was none other than him!

But this strength!

First Grade!

Definitely First Grade!

He actually broke through to First Grade!

"Isn’t this what you wanted, to force me out? Now that I’m out, what do you intend to do?"

In mid-air, the phantom of Xuan Er appeared, gradually becoming solid.

Whew—

"Saved!" Upon seeing Xuan Er, Chen Xuan really wanted to cry. Just a moment ago, he truly felt death.

"Humph!"

Bai Ze coldly snorted, feigning calmness.

"He ignored military orders, I want to kill him, what’s the problem? Do you dare to stop me?" He had a legitimate reason; if Xuan Er dared to attack him, then he would face the pursuit of the Great Xia in the future.

"Attack? Fine! As you wish!"

A finger pressed down on him.

"Bang!"

In an instant, Bai Ze, a Second-Grade peak expert, was forced to his knees without any resistance.

"Whoa!"

Chen Xuan was all too familiar with this scene; back then, Xuan Er had greeted him in the same way.

"I attacked! What can you do?" The eyes of Xuan Er in mid-air were contemptuous, looking at him as if he were an ant.

"Xuan Er, you’re courting death!" Bai Ze exploded with unprecedented power, his long hair flying in the air, the next moment, his kneeling knees actually seemed to rise.

"Kneel down!"

Xuan Er shouted sharply, lightly pointing a finger.

"Bang!" This time Bai Ze’s entire body was pressed to the ground, his face buried below.

"Xuan Er!!!!"

Though faceless, at this moment, Bai Ze’s roar resounded throughout the hall.

"Noisy!"

"Bang!" With a loud crash, Bai Ze was pressed into a deep pit.

"Xuan Er, that’s enough. Let this matter end here, my brother is the Commander-in-Chief of the court, nothing can happen to him, otherwise it won’t be good for you, including Ye Yilan!"

At this moment, Bai Qi had no choice but to step forward, because if this continued, Bai Ze might really be killed by him.

"Are you threatening me?"

Xuan Er looked down at him, instantly making Bai Qi feel like he was falling into an abyss.

"How terrifying!"

Just a single glance made a Second-Grade peak feel fear.

This is the power of the First Grade?

Forcing himself to overcome the fear in his heart, he took out a jade pendant from his bosom and then threw it into the air.

"Bang!" With a sound, the jade pendant turned into spots of green light. In the next moment, a miraculous scene appeared. The green light gathered together, and an old man with white hair appeared in mid-air.

"Greetings to the National Preceptor Qi Lin!"

Except for Xuan Er and Chen Xuan, everyone else bowed and saluted, shouting respectfully.

"Dispense with the formalities!" Qi Lin’s aged voice sounded, then looked at Xuan Er, "Congratulations on finally becoming First Grade, but Bai Ze cannot die, even if it’s for my sake!"
