Ye Xiao was about to teleport to Lin Hao when he suddenly saw a group of Worms. Only then he remembered that he has yet to get rid of Worms lurking in this city.
“Forget it, it will not take much time anyway. I’ll first get rid of the Worms before meeting Lin Hao.”
And with that, he disappeared.
There was a small shop in the market area of Star Forest City. This shop was filled with several ordinary ingredients for alchemy. Anyone will think that this shop is nothing but a normal shop selling herbs and medicinal fruits in order to make a living.
However, no one knows that there is a huge secret hidden in this shop. There was a secret door that leads underground where Worms gathers. This was a secret base of a group of Worms and right now, hundreds of Worms were discussing something important.
In order to stay hidden, many powerful formations were used to isolate the underground space completely from the outside world. Nothing could detect this underground space.
It could be said that these Worms were really unlucky. Ye Xiao covered the entire city with his Divine Sense exactly at the moment when a Worm was entering the underground space. That was the only moment when a gap was opened in the formation and Ye Xiao’s Divine Sense passed through the layers of formations before discovering hundreds of Worms.
After that one Worm entered the underground space, the gap was closed and Ye Xiao’s Divine Sense was cut off.
But Ye Xiao had already discovered that secret underground space. He could simply teleport there. No formation could stop him from teleporting inside the underground space.
As for the Worms in this underground space, it turned out that they were talking about the Spatial Domain, and how to explore that unknown domain. They had also learned about the treasure related to time and space and wanted to obtain that treasure at all costs. They were afraid that if humans obtained that treasure, then it will become a lot more troublesome to conquer the Land of Morning Stars.
Because Ye Xiao had taken action today to completely wipe out all the Worms from the Star Forest Region, they were completely unaware that there were no more Worms left other than them in the entire region.
Just as they were discussing, a light flashed and Ye Xiao appeared. His appearance startled every Worm and attracted their attention.
“Who…”
Ye Xiao did not to waste his time on them, so without waiting for the Worm to question him, he ignited the entire underground space with Universe Essence Flame.
As the Universe Essence Flame blazed, not only did all Worms existence were ceased to exist, even the underground space collapsed completely.
After dealing with these Worms, Ye Xiao appeared in the store and get rid of the store owner as well. If not for this person, how could Worms get open an underground space to create a meeting place in the Star Forest City?
With this, Ye Xiao completely gets rid of Worms from three regions. These three regions were Cloudy Sky Region, Red Star Region, and Star Forest Region. He had gotten rid of Worms of Cloudy Sky Region before leaving for the Red Star Region.
Now, it was time to meet Lin Hao. ．
Ye Xiao walked outside the store and strolled in the direction of a house where Lin Hao was teaching Gu Xingyue swordsmanship.
However, it could be called fate. Before Ye Xiao could go there, he saw Fang Yun going somewhere.
When Ye Xiao saw Fang Yun, Fang Yun also saw Ye Xiao. Both of them stopped in their path and their eyes emitted fierce light.
“Fang Yun, it is time to settle our score!”
“Ling Xiaolong, give me my Celestial Destroyer-ranked treasure back!”
Both of them shouted at once, attracting people’s attention.
“Did you hear, that person asked for Celestial Destroyer-ranked Treasure?”
“Yes, I heard that too. Does that person really has a Celestial Destroyer-ranked Treasure?”
“He must be bluffing. I think both of them want to attract public attention and so they are playing this game to become famous.”
“Yes, this must be the case. How could just anyone possess a Celestial Destroyer-ranked Treasure.”
People in the surrounding immediately started talking, pointing at Ye Xiao and Fabg Yun.
Fang Yun realized he was impulsive, he could not help but want to slap his big mouth.
“Follow me!”
Ye Xiao took a deep breath, spoke, and turned to leave.
Fang Yun started following Ye Xiao without hesitation.
Very soon, they arrived in a secluded corner. Ye Xiao looked at Fang Yun with anger and spoke, “What nonsense are you spouting? You actually dared to trap me and escaped with the Celestial Destroyer Treasure. And now, you are blaming me for having it?”
There would have never been a conflict between the two of them if Fang Yun had not tried to use Ye Xiao in order to obtain the treasure he wanted. The two of them got along well at first but everything was destroyed by Fang Yun when he used Ye Xiao and left him there to die.
Although Ye Xiao did not plan to kill Fang Yun, he was also not going to forgive this man easily.
“Before I left you trapped there, I told you I will compensate you as long as you come out. Let the matter between us rest, and I will give you anything you want. Of course, you have to give me that Celestial Destroyer-ranked treasure first. As for the compensation, even if you ask me to help you conquer the Morning Stars, I will do that and make you the ruler of this Land.”
Although Fang Yun’s words sound very arrogant, he did have the ability to say this. As the son of an exalted one, he could indeed help Ye Xiao conquer the Land of Morning Stars easily.
Ye Xiao suddenly had an idea. Why bother becoming an enemy with Fang Yun when he could benefit a lot from him? Moreover, he might not be able to kill Fang Yun.
About a year ago, Fang Yun was already a Great Saint. He was just hiding his cultivation base. By now, his strength must have increased by a small bit again.
On top of that, being the only son of an Exalted One, how could Fang Yun not have many strong trump cards?
His purpose in coming to the Land of Morning Stars was to obtain the Celestial Destroyer-ranked treasure. It is a treasure that could make countless people envy. Even an Exalted One might only have one or two such treasures.
How could Fang Yun not become anxious when he lost his goal even after winning the bet?
After realizing that he made a mistake and obtained a Celestial Spirit-ranked Treasure instead of the Celestial Destroyer-ranked Treasure, Fang Yun started looking for Ye Xiao. He first went to the ruin and decided to explore it once again, but the ruin had already collapsed and could no longer be explored.
Fang Yun had no choice but to leave in disappointment. But remembering Ye Xiao’s powerful means and abilities, he was confident that Ye Xiao must have escaped.
In his eyes, he had already approved of Ye Xiao’s strength. He knew Ye Xiao is not a person to die easily.
Since that’s the case, he started looking for Ye Xiao, gathering all information he could. But in the end, he did not gain much.
Today, when he surprisingly saw Ye Xiao again, he was unable to calm down and asked for the treasure immediately.
Ye Xiao had already decided what to ask as compensation. He said, “Do you know the location of Land of Mystic Falls?”
“Land of Mystic Falls?” Fang Yun frowned and then shook his head. He said, “I have never heard of this Land before. But finding out the location is very easy. I could ask my father to give me the map of Chaos. The map of Chaos has every Land’s location marked, and the major points of those lands are also explained in detail on that map. I can give that map to you if you want.”
“Just to let you know, the Map of Chaos is very expensive and is considered a treasure as well. You might not be able to buy a Map of Chaos even with Hundreds of Millions of Energy Stones.”
Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up when he heard this. If he really asked for this map as compensation, it could be said to be worth it.
But Ye Xiao wanted more. He would definitely not let the matter rest until he cause Fang Yun to taste the pain of losing something very precious.
“Ok then, this is the first thing I want as compensation.” Ye Xiao said.
“First thing?” Fang Yun was taken aback. “Do you mean there is something else you want?”
Smiling at Fang Yun, Ye Xiao revealed a sly smile. He said, “I want you to promise me one thing. You will let me choose a treasure from your father’s treasury!”
“What?”
