578: Speed of Life
In the following days, Yang Lingchen continued to Cultivate within the haotian jade space.
On this day, a piece of news stating that Yang Lingchen was Lingchen spread throughout the entire Archaic Star Domain.
As soon as this news broke, it immediately caused a massive uproar in the Desolate Ancient Central Continent.
During this time, major top-tier forces from the Central Continent, as well as countless experts, rushed toward the eastern region one after another.
The reason this news spread was mainly that Yang Lingchen's characteristics were too prominent—young with a strong ability to challenge those at higher levels. Naturally, he entered the public eye, and under the speculation of those with ulterior motives, Yang Lingchen's identity was eventually exposed.
When Yang Lingchen received this news, he immediately went to find Mu Xiya.
“Palace Master, I wish to temporarily leave Xuan Yin Palace,” Yang Lingchen said with an incredibly serious tone.
He knew that if he stayed in Xuan Yin Palace, it would likely bring a devastating disaster upon them, and Xuan Yin Palace would not be able to protect him. After all, the strength of Xuan Yin Palace had not yet reached the point where it could make an enemy of the entire Archaic Star Domain.
“Go then! Stay safe!”
With a trace of helplessness in her eyes, Mu Xiya said, “I believe that in the future, you will surely become the strongest king of this Star Domain. Although I want to watch you grow up, I know my own capabilities. If you stay here, not only will I be unable to protect you, but the entire Xuan Yin Palace will be exterminated because of it. So, I hope you can understand.”
“Palace Master, I am leaving. Take care. If I do not die, I will surely make Xuan Yin Palace the number one power in the Archaic Star Domain.” Yang Lingchen's voice was firm, and he immediately turned to walk outside.
“Wait... wait.” Mu Xiya's elegant and moving voice rang out again.
“Is the Palace Master reluctant to let me go?” A slight curve appeared at the corner of Yang Lingchen's mouth.
“Mm-hmm.” Mu Xiya lightly bit her red lips and summoned her courage to say, “If you can return as a king, I can fulfill that thing you wanted to do that day.”
“You said it. I will definitely return as a king.”
With an Aura of disdain for everything in his eyes, Yang Lingchen turned and left Mu Xiya's palace.
“Stinky brat! You better not let anything happen to you!” Watching Yang Lingchen's receding figure, Mu Xiya murmured softly.
Less than fifteen minutes after Yang Lingchen left, a bombshell piece of news came out from Xuan Yin Palace: “Yang Lingchen has betrayed his master and ancestors, intending to commit improper acts against the Palace Master. He has now been personally expelled from Xuan Yin Palace by the Palace Master. From now on, Yang Lingchen and Xuan Yin Palace have no further connection.”
Additionally, Xuan Yin Palace announced another piece of news: Mu Xiya claimed she was getting on in years and would no longer involve herself in worldly affairs, thus leaving Xuan Yin Palace. The position of Palace Master was passed to Mu Qingcheng.
Once the news spread, it completely shocked the entire eastern region.
“This Yang Lingchen is truly audacious, actually setting his sights on Mu Xiya.”
“Indeed! You might not know, but it's said this guy can't live without women and is surrounded by beauties. During his time at Xuan Yin Palace, many women were toyed with in the palm of his hand.”
“Presumably Mu Xiya was driven to madness by this kid, otherwise she wouldn't have left Xuan Yin Palace.”
For a time, the entire eastern region was abuzz with discussion.
The news of Yang Lingchen being expelled from Xuan Yin Palace quickly spread across the entire Archaic Star Domain.
At the same time, the Cangyun Empire also announced that they were irreconcilable enemies with Yang Lingchen, on the grounds that Yang Lingchen had abducted Princess Cang Qingyue of the Cangyun Empire.
Of course, before Cang Qingtian made this decision, he had sent a voice transmission to Cang Qingyue, urging her and Yang Lingchen to be careful. Doing this was a helpless choice; after all, he had the entire Cangyun Empire behind him and could not make an enemy of the entire Archaic Star Domain for Yang Lingchen's sake.
Yang Lingchen was very understanding of Cang Qingtian's choice.
After leaving Xuan Yin Palace, Yang Lingchen flew all the way toward the central region of the Central Continent. This time, his goal was very clear: to investigate news of Lei Zhentian.
Because the other party was also a dao body of Yang Haotian, as long as he devoured him, he was confident he could raise his strength and talent to another level.
Of course, investigating news of Lei Zhentian was a very dangerous matter.
After all, as a fellow dao body of Yang Haotian, Lei Zhentian's talent and ability to challenge those at higher levels were certainly far beyond that of ordinary geniuses. If he were careless, he would likely suffer a great loss.
When Yang Lingchen left Xuan Yin Palace this time, he did not take Mu Qingcheng with him, as she was the Saintess of Xuan Yin Palace.
However, before leaving, Yang Lingchen sent a voice transmission to Mu Qingcheng, telling her not to worry and that he would definitely come back for her.
Mu Qingcheng was also very worried about Yang Lingchen's departure and urged him to stay safe.
Meanwhile, at the edge of the eastern region, countless powerful Cultivators had already arrived. These people were currently following behind a Heavenly Strange Beast.
The Heavenly Strange Beast was a top-tier flying Yao Beast and was skilled in tracking; once targeted by it, there was almost no possibility of escape.
At this moment, a white-haired old man with cold eyes was communicating with the Heavenly Strange Beast. A moment later, a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
This old man was precisely the famous Divine Calculator of the Archaic Star Domain, Liu Xianzhi.
“Mr. Liu, where is that kid now?” a handsome, extraordinary, and elegant young man asked.
If Yang Lingchen were here, he would certainly recognize this handsome youth, for he was none other than the Saint of the Lei Yan Holy Land, Lei Zhentian.
During this period, he had traveled throughout the entire Archaic Star Domain, but unfortunately, he had never been able to sense Yang Lingchen's location, which left him very confused.
“Indeed, that kid is very shrewd. We can't let him escape this time.” A middle-aged man with a robust Aura and a gloomy face spoke.
This person was none other than the Grand Elder of the Peach Garden Holy Land, Huang Shahai.
“Everyone, do not worry. The Heavenly Strange Beast has already locked onto that kid's Aura. No matter what appearance he takes, it is impossible for him to escape the Heavenly Strange Beast's perception,” Liu Xianzhi said calmly.
“With Mr. Liu's words, we can rest easy,” said a tall middle-aged man who exuded an air of authority.
This middle-aged man exuding an air of authority was named Yang Tianxu. He was King Tianxu of the Haotian Immortal Kingdom and also the biological younger brother of the Emperor of the Haotian Immortal Kingdom.
“Jie... jie... jie...!” A series of sinister laughs came from the corner of Liu Xianzhi's mouth. “Interesting, it seems that kid is heading toward us.”
“Oh! It seems this kid is walking right into the trap!”
At this moment, everyone's eyes showed looks of pleasant surprise.
Currently, Yang Lingchen was speeding along. For some reason, he had a constant feeling of unease.
Just then, he suddenly stopped and changed direction.
Yang Lingchen trusted his sixth sense! Since he felt uneasy, there must be danger ahead.
However, to Yang Lingchen's surprise, after changing direction, that feeling of unease did not disappear; it only lessened slightly.
“Fuck, it looks like I've been targeted.”
Yang Lingchen's expression became incredibly solemn, and he immediately increased his speed, racing toward the distance.
As he continued to fly, that feeling of unease struck his heart again, and it felt stronger and stronger.
Immediately, Yang Lingchen quickly summoned Little Flame and then flashed into the haotian jade space. The Vast Heaven Jade was then swallowed into Little Flame's stomach.
At this point, that feeling of unease finally vanished.
About fifteen minutes later, led by the Heavenly Strange Beast, a group of top experts from the Central Continent finally arrived at the place where Yang Lingchen had previously disappeared.
The Heavenly Strange Beast circled in the air continuously, searching for traces of Yang Lingchen.
“This kid is not simple; he was actually able to sense the danger in advance.” Liu Xianzhi's cold eyes glinted with a trace of chill.
“What do we do now? Can the Heavenly Strange Beast still find his trail?” Huang Shahai said in a heavy voice.
“Don't worry, that kid likely entered a secret treasure space. As soon as he appears, the Heavenly Strange Beast will be able to sense him immediately,” Liu Xianzhi said.
At this moment, the most shocked person was none other than Lei Zhentian, because he sensed a lingering trace of the Vast Heaven Jade's Aura here.
