"Who?"
Because this figure did not conceal anything, Xu An was naturally the first to react.
In fact, to the existence of this figure, the first person to notice was Ye Long, but when Ye Long told him about it, he quickly found out.
Moreover, so what if Ye Long and Ye Xiu discovered it first? They were simply no match for this figure, because this figure's cultivation was truly too strong.
Boom!
Because he felt the other party's strength, under Xu An's stern shout, his aura also exploded in an instant.
But even so, Xu An's aura was still suppressed by the figure.
"Peak Profound Mansion Stage!"
Feeling the aura from the other party that was stronger than his, Xu An's expression immediately became serious.
One had to know that they were near the Nine Profound Sect, so why would this expert with a high cultivation level ambush here?
"May I know who you are, and your purpose in coming here?" Xu An asked with a serious face.
Because the other party's cultivation was higher than his, Xu An naturally did not dare to act rashly. After all, if he could avoid offending such a strong person, it was naturally better not to offend him.
"I came to look for him."
Under Xu An's questioning, the expert with high Peak Profound Mansion Stage extended a finger and pointed at the crowd.
"Hmm?"
When Ye Xiu saw that this Peak Profound Mansion Stage expert's finger was clearly pointing at him, his brows immediately furrowed.
In his impression, he didn't seem to have offended any experts of this level.
If he hadn't offended her, then why would she come to him?
"Senior, is there something you need from me?" Ye Xiu took the initiative to step forward from the crowd.
Because Ye Xiu could feel a strong aura coming from the opponent's body, he believed that the opponent was referring to himself.
"Humph!"
When Ye Xiu came out from the crowd, the expert from Peak Profound Mansion Stage immediately snorted angrily, and then released a powerful aura that immediately pressed down towards Ye Xiu.
"Sir, you've gone too far!"
But just at that moment, Xu An's voice sounded again, and he helped Ye Xiu block the powerful aura.
To Ye Xiu, this aura was naturally incomparably strong. If this aura really pressed down on his body, then he would definitely die.
There was no helping it, Ye Xiu's cultivation was too low, so any expert of Profound Mansion Stage could completely crush him with just their aura alone.
Of course, even if Xu An didn't attack, Ye Xiu wouldn't really be crushed to death. After all, he still had the protection of the Nine Profound Exquisite Pagoda.
Fortunately, Xu An had made his move in time, so the Nine Profound Exquisite Pagoda was not exposed.
"Senior, I do not seem to know you. Why would you attack me?" Although Xu An managed to suppress his aura, Ye Xiu could truly feel the killing intent coming from this expert.
"Why?"
After hearing what Ye Xiu said, the Peak Profound Mansion Stage Expert was immediately angered.
"You killed my subordinates and stole my treasure, yet you still dare to ask why?" Peak Profound Mansion Stage Expert shouted angrily.
Actually, he had already left the Nine Profound Sect a long time ago. It's just that he could feel that there was an extremely strong Profound Array within the Nine Profound Sect, so he did not force his way in.
Furthermore, even if he had deduced that the culprit was in Nine Profound Sect, there was no way to confirm it.
Although his cultivation was in the Peak Profound Mansion Stage realm, his Nine Profound Sect was not a small sect, so he naturally could not easily offend him.
But the moment Ye Xiu appeared from the Nine Profound Sect, he immediately felt the fluctuations of the Secret Profound Bead.
Although Ye Xiu had snatched the Secret Profound Bead from the scorpion's hands, its real master was this Peak Profound Mansion Stage Expert. Therefore, even if the other party was a Hidden Treasure, he could still feel the ripples of the treasure in one breath.
"Hmm?"
When Ye Xiu heard those words, he immediately frowned, and in the next moment, he thought of something.
"You are the leader of the Blade Appreciation Hunting Team?" Ye Xiu asked.
Although he was a little worried when he found out that the leader of the Knifeblade Hunting Team had reached the Peak Profound Mansion Stage, he still thought that the other party had set up a trap to attack him.
But now, the other party was actually able to track the Nine Profound Sect, which meant that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
If the trap he had set up was an indiscriminate attack, then he definitely would not be able to locate his position.
"That's right, kid, I never thought that the one who would kill my subordinates and steal my treasures would be a little brat, and his cultivation is only at the peak of the Profound Pill Realm, but even so, it would be hard for you to escape death. My Blade Reward Hunting Team is not weak, I have to avenge my subordinates' miserable deaths." The scimitar gave a reward to the leader of the hunting squadron.
After he finished speaking, a strong killing intent exploded from his body.
When many people felt this powerful killing intent, their faces revealed expressions of fear. After all, this was the killing intent emitted from the Peak Profound Mansion Stage Expert, so naturally, it was extremely powerful.
"Milord, please explain yourself. You said that he killed your subordinates and even stole your treasure?" When Xu An saw that the Peak Profound Mansion Stage Expert was about to kill him, he shouted once again.
Ye Xiu's cultivation was indeed not weak, but to say that he stole the treasure from the hands of a Peak Profound Mansion Stage Expert, and even killed the opponent's subordinates, how was that possible?
Furthermore, Ye Xiu was currently a disciple who was accepted into the Sky Sect Site and the Heavenly Sect Competition this year was not over yet, so Xu An had the obligation to protect Ye Xiu's safety.
"Who are you? This is a matter between me and this brat, it's not up to you to meddle in. If you must meddle in other people's business, I don't recommend killing another person." Peak Profound Mansion Stage Expert shouted angrily.
Xu An's cultivation was at the perfection-stage of the Profound Palace, one stage lower than the difference in Peak Profound Mansion Stage. However, the higher the cultivation, the greater the difference in cultivation.
Therefore, there was still a gap in strength between Xu An and the other party. However, if the other party wanted to kill Xu An, it would also not be an easy matter.
"I am the sect master of the Nine Profound Sect, my name is Xu An, may I ask your name?" Xu An introduced himself.
"Sect Master of The Nine Profound Sect!"
After hearing Xu An's introduction, the Peak Profound Mansion Stage Expert's face stiffened. It was obvious that he did not expect that the person with a lower cultivation level than himself would actually be the Nine Profound Sect's sect master.
If the other party was not Sect Master of The Nine Profound Sect, then he would naturally not be courteous. But right now, this place was right outside of the Nine Profound Sect, if he had a conflict with the Sect Master of The Nine Profound Sect, then that would obviously be an irrational action.
Whether or not there were any Peak Profound Mansion Stage ranked experts or even experts above the Profound Palace Realm within the Nine Profound Sect, if there were, then he would be in trouble.
"Sect Master Xu, I do not have any grudges with Nine Profound Sect, so I hope that Sect Master Xu will not interfere in my business." Peak Profound Mansion Stage Expert answered.
Of course, after knowing Xu An's identity, the Innate Ranker's tone had naturally become much gentler than before.
"Sir, Nine Profound Sect and your group do not have any grudges, but Ye Xiu is a esteemed guest of my Nine Profound Sect, and he also has some connections to me, if you insist on fighting him, then forgive me for not doing nothing." Xu An said in a heavy voice.
Ye Xiu owed a debt of gratitude to him, but since the other party was in trouble, Xu An could naturally not sit idly by.
"Shua!"
Just as Xu An finished speaking, a sound of wind breaking came out from the Nine Profound Sect and immediately after, a figure appeared beside Ye Xiu and the rest.
"Senior Uncle Qin, that's him. He wants to kill Ye Xiu." When Leng Yue saw Qin Tianxu coming out from the Nine Profound Sect, she immediately pointed at the Peak Profound Mansion Stage Expert in front of her and asked in a stern voice.
After hearing what Leng Yue said, Qin Tianxu's gaze fell on the Peak Profound Mansion Stage Expert person who had a cultivation level higher than her own.
When Qin Tianxu confirmed the other party's cultivation, his eyes revealed a look of curiosity, he did not understand why Ye Xiu would offend such an enemy.
But no matter what he did, since the other party wanted to take Ye Xiu's life, he naturally could not ignore it.
"Sir, I am the Profound Sky Sect Elder, Qin Tianxu, my Profound Sky Sect has protected his life, if you dare touch a single hair on his head, Profound Sky Sect will not let this matter rest." Qin Tianxu said fiercely.
"Profound Sky Sect!"
When the expert of Peak Profound Mansion Stage heard this name, his brows clearly wrinkled.
Just one Nine Profound Sect was not something he wanted to provoke, but now there was another Profound Sky Sect stronger than the one he had.
"Just who is this kid? Why are the two great sects protecting him like this?" Peak Profound Mansion Stage Expert muttered in his heart.
Originally, he wanted to kill someone for revenge and take back his treasure. However, the situation was out of his expectations so his previous plans naturally had to change.
If they offended the two great sects for revenge, it would definitely not be a good thing.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, this Peak Profound Mansion Stage Ranker said: "Since the two great sects have come forward to protect this brat, I can let him live. As long as he returns my treasure to me, I can let bygones be bygones."
Not killing people and only taking back the treasures that belonged to him was the biggest concession he could make.
"Return it to you?"
But when Ye Xiu heard this, his brows twitched: "This senior, I think you know better than me just how I obtained this treasure, and now that you want to return, I want to ask you a question, on what basis?"
When Ye Xiu said this, the other disciples around immediately revealed looks of shock. It was clear that the other party's fearlessness caused them to be extremely shocked.
Even with the protection of the two great sects, their cultivation was still very strong. So, if they were in his shoes, they would have had their lives saved. Then, what treasure would they be able to offer up to him?
After all, compared to treasures, one's life was the most important.
