n“President Gu, what can we do about these resentful souls?”

nAfter everyone calmed down, Ling Wei Long asked.

nAfter the true face of these resentful souls was revealed in front of everyone, no one dared to step into the garden carelessly. They remained at their spot, standing at the border of the garden.

nEven President Gu and Vice President Yun retreated to the edge of the garden.

nPresident Gu shook his head, speaking: “Everyone should already know that these resentful souls are tempered with Abyssal Energy. Abyssal Energy is now a part of these resentful souls. We only know of it because of the legends left behind by our ancestors and the ancient records obtained from ancient ruins. But even those ancient records only tell the might and terror of the Abyssal Energy, they do not tell us how to get rid of Abyssal Energy or solve any problem related to the Abyssal Energy.”

n“If you want to ask whether I have any way to get rid of these resentful souls, then I have to disappoint Leader Ling. Although we could lay formations that could suppress these resentful souls easily, we could not guarantee the same about the Abyssal Energy coming out from their bodies.”

nGu Lufan stopped for a few seconds, looked at everyone’s gloomy expression, and then spoke again: “And… I have to tell you all the most important parts. The last formation is not only hiding the path that could lead us to the tomb of the Green Flame Emperor, but it is also suppressing the Abyssal Energy. If this formation is to be broken before we take care of these resentful souls and think of ways to deal with the Abyssal Energy, I’m afraid not only the Ye Family but the entire Green Flame City will suffer a great loss or might even be destroyed, transforming into an abyssal land, turning every life here into Abyssals.”

n“So, we have to be extremely careful of our next step.”

nEveryone’s expression turned grave when they heard Gu Lufan’s words. They all understood the gravity of this situation. They could not help but look at the resentful souls with complicated expressions, for they have no idea how to get rid of them.

nThey definitely would not dare to touch these souls or even try to refine them. After all, these souls are deeply affected by Abyssal Energy. If they accidentally come in contact with Abyssal Energy, they might lose their lives.

n“Father, why do you think Abyssal Energy is here? Isn’t this place where the Tomb of Green Flame Emperor is hidden?”

nThis question was in Ye Xiao’s mind from the moment he discovered that Living Flowers are not flowers but resentful souls.

nAt first, he just wanted to ask why there were so many resentful souls here, but after hearing and knowing about the Abyssal Energy, he changed “resentful souls” to “Abyssal Energy” in his question.

nWhen Ye Xiao asked this question to Ling Cheng, everyone turned their heads to look at him. It is mainly because what Ye Xiao asked was a critical question.

nWhy did Abyssal Energy appear here?

nWasn’t there supposed to be the tomb of Green Flame Emperor here?

nCould it be that Green Flame Emperor is related to the appearance of Abyssal Energy somehow?

nThere was also that flow of resentment. President Gu clearly said before that the formation was extracting resentments from these resentful souls and transferring them underground for some reason.

nWhat is underground?

nWhy do resentments from these resentful souls were being transferred there?

nWhat secret is hidden underground?

nMany such questions appeared in everyone’s mind after hearing Ye Xiao’s question, and every question was deeply linked with each other.

nJust one answer might solve everyone’s questions.

nUnfortunately, there was no answer.

nYe Xiao, on the other hand, frowned.

nCould it be that the fourth formation will not be broken by President Gu and Vice President Yun as long as these resentful souls are not taken care of?

nIf so, then how could he go to the Gate and see what is special about it that is attracting his Universe Essence Flame so much?

nNo, he could not let everyone retreat just like that.

nThinking of this, Ye Xiao’s figure flickered and he disappeared before reappearing in the middle of the garden.

n“Xiaolong?”

n“What are you doing? Come back!”

n“Hey… There is danger, Xiaolong. Come back!”

n“…..”

n“…..”

nYe Molong, Ye Lihua, Ling Cheng, and Ling Wei Long shouted at Ye Xiao, telling him to come back. They were not surprised that Ye Xiao suddenly went to the middle of the garden. They were well aware of Ye Xiao’s ability to teleport.

nBut this was not true for every person present at the scene.

nAll of them could see Ye Xiao’s cultivation and it was no secret that Ye Xiao was a monstrous genius, and on top of being a genius, he was also blessed by the Morning Stars. So, it was not that surprising for them to see an Eight Years Old child having the cultivation base of the Eighth Realm of Foundation Building.

nBut the way Ye Xiao just moved shocked them all. They have no idea that Ye Xiao could teleport, and it was the first time they saw Ye Xiao do it.

nBut then, their shock turned into awe and horror as they watched Ye Xiao extending his left hand.

nThe next moment, an imprint of a blade shone with green light as fragments of energy started coming out of his palm and gathered together, forming a long blade.

nThis blade’s thick part was completely green while its sharp age was purple in color. At the same time, its hilt was completely black. Most importantly, a horrifying might could be felt from this blade, as if it was the ruler of weapons.

nThis was the Infinity Edge Blade that accompanied Ye Xiao for a long time when he was still inside the Heavens (Source Universe).

nYe Xiao also had another weapon called Void Shattering Spear.

nAfter Ye Xiao came out of the Heavens, the Infinity Edge Blade and Void Shattering Spear were retrieved into his own universe by the Lotus of Chaos. And under the tempering of Lotus of Chaos, both of these weapons evolved to an extremely high level, far surpassing the Empyrean Level.

nTalking about the grades of weapons, for the people of Source Universes, an Empyrean Grade Weapon is already at the top of the weapons found there. They are very rare to find.

nBut in Chaos, Empyrean Grade Weapons are just beginner-leveled weapons and could be found everywhere.

nIn Chaos, there are four types of known weapons. From low to high, they are Empyrean Grade Weapons, Soulbound Weapons, Heavenly Soul Weapons, and Celestial Spirit Weapons.

nAnd all these four types of weapons are further divided into three grades. They are Low, Mid, and High.

nAnd the current Infinity Edge Blade as well as Void Shattering Spear, both are very likely to be Soulbound Weapons.

n“This is…”

nWhen Ye Xiao took out the Infinity Edge Blade, it shocked everyone. Everyone present could feel the horrifying aura coming out from the blade in Ye Xiao’s hand.

n“This is definitely a Soulbound Weapon. And it is a high-grade one.”

n“Yes, it is definitely a High Grade Soulbound Weapon. I didn’t expect Illusionary Spirit Gate to give a High Grade Soulbound Weapon to their junior!”

n“This is not that surprising though. Everyone knows what kind of monstrous genius Young Master Xiaolong is. If not him, then who is qualified to hold a High Grade Soulbound Weapon?”

n“But… why does that blade look very different even though we could clearly tell that it is a High Grade Soulbound Weapon? Most importantly, only when Young Master Xiaolong was summoning his Soulbound Weapon did the Weapon Imprint on his hand shown with light. Before this, the imprint was not there at all.”

nEveryone started conversing in surprise and shock.

nIt is mainly because High Grade Soulbound Weapons are very rare in the Land of Moring Stars. Only the elders or leaders of powerful forces could have this kind of weapon.

nAs for overlord forces like the Illusionary Spirit Gate and Ye Family, the highest grade of weapon they have is Low Grade Heavenly Soul Weapon. And this kind of weapon is their guardian weapon that is held by the strongest in their respective forces.

nThus, when Ye Xiao took out a High Grade Soulbound Weapon, it shocked everyone.

nThe only one who was not shocked was Ling Wei Long. 𝐨𝘃𝗹.

nThe moment Ye Xiao took out the Infinity Edge Blade, Ling Wei Long’s body trembled. He seemed to have appeared in the dark space again where the giant gave Ye Xiao two weapons.

nHe could not help but shiver in fright just from the thought of that giant.

nAlthough he was unable to see that giant’s face, it was clear that the giant was the strongest existence Ling Wei Long had ever seen in his entire life.
