"Humph! Wants to run away, keep dreaming."

Ye Xiao's cold laughter sounded behind him and followed by intense energy fluctuation.

The middle-aged man suddenly felt that he flying in the air. Suddenly he saw a familiar headless body running towards the door and before it can cross the door, it fell down on the ground.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Ahhh!"

That middle-aged man's head also fell down from the air at this time.

All the peoples of the Zhang family that comes to kill Ye Xiao, all died just like that.

Ye Xiao sat down on the ground full of blood. He was just too tired. All the spirit energy in his body was dried up.

At this time First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique starts revolving on its own.

From all the dead bodies, a blue ball of energy comes out and entered Ye Xiao's body, filling him up.

Ye Xiao suddenly felt his cultivation increasing at an incredible pace.

Middle Stage of the First Stage.

Late Stage of the First Stage.

The peak of the First Stage.

"BOOM!"

Second Stage of Qi Condensation Realm.

"I... I broke through just like that."

Ye Xiao was dumbfounded. He has never heard or seen anybody breaking through like this.

"This devouring ability of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon is really amazing."

"Just a day ago I broke through to the First Stage of Qi Condensation Realm and now, a later once again I breakthrough, reaching the Second Stage of Qi Condensation Realm."

"Looks like, I have to search for some more evil peoples in the future to kill. This is the easiest way to level up my cultivation, hehe."

"Zhang family looks like I have to thank you for sending me such wonderful gifts. But since you tried to kill me then be ready for my revenge in the future."

"Since I didn't die today, I will definitely kill you all in the future, when I would have enough strength. One day I will definitely return to take my revenge on you and Silver Moon Sect."

"If you want to kill someone, you better be ready to be killed."

Consolidating his breakthrough, Ye Xiao stood up and takes a bath, changed his clothes, and left the inn.

He was now walking towards Riverside City.

It was only in the evening of the next day did he reach Riverside City.

As he was about to pass and enter the gate of Riverside City, two guards wearing armor stopped him.

"If you want to enter the city, you have to pay 1000 silver coins first." One of the guards said to Ye Xiao.

"Just to enter the city, I have to pay 1000 silver. Isn't it robbery in daylight?" Ye Xiao frowned.

"This is a rule set up by our Riverside City's city lord. If you want to enter then pay otherwise fuck off." The other guard snorted.

Ye Xiao did not say anything more. He just paid the guard 1000 silver coins and entered the city.

There were a lot of people present in Riverside City. Every street and road was crowded with peoples. After walking for a while, he found out that these peoples were also here to use the teleportation circle in order to teleport to the Imperial City.

To operate the teleportation formation, spirit stones were needed as its power source. Those spirit stones were provided by the Royal family and the five great sects together.

This is also the reason why peoples had to give them 1000 gold coins to use this teleportation circle.

This teleportation circle can teleport 10 peoples at once.

Let's say that in a day only 100 peoples used the teleportation formation to teleport directly to the Imperial City. Then they have to first pay 1000 gold coins each.

Hundred people were using this service, so they have to pay a total of 100,000 gold coins. If converts into spirit stones, it will be 100 low-grade spirit stones.

This was quite a good business. Five great sects and the Royal family make a lot of money every day.

Ye Xiao shook his head and sighed, then walked into an inn.

"May I know if you want to book a room or eat?"

Seeing Ye Xiao's entry into the inn, an attendant greeted him and asked politely.

"I want a room for two days!" Ye Xiao smiled and replied.

"Sir, it will be 20 silver coins for two days." The attendant said to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao raised his hand in the air and 20 silver coins appeared in his hand. He gave it to the attendant.

After receiving money, the attendant leads the way and brought him to a room.

This room was clean and tidy. There were a large bed, a table, and two chairs. Ye Xiao walked in to sit down on a chair.

Seeing the room, Ye Xiao nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Bring me some food to eat."

"Yes sir!" the attendant said then left after bowing toward him.

Not eating for a whole day and night, he was very hungry right now.

Sometime later a knock rang out, Ye Xiao stood up and opened the door to see that the attendant bringing the food to his room.

"Thank You. This is for you." Ye Xiao gave some silver coins to him and began eating. Receiving silver coins as his tip, that attendant became very happy.

"Does something new happened in the Riverside City recently?"

"No, nothing major happened, but I heard that there is a ruin of an ancient expert in the Azure Dragon Mountain Range. Tomorrow, peoples will go there in a group leading by the son of our city lord, Liu Feng." That Attendant said.

"Oh! OK, you can go."

After Ye Xiao said this, that attendant left happily.

"A ruin of an ancient expert, huh!" Ye Xiao smiled.

"Looks like I have come to this Riverside City at a right time. But I don't want to go there in that group that was leading by Liu Feng. I will go there alone. There will be many people at that time who want to go alone and search for treasures in the ruin. That son of the City lord will not be able to control them at that time."

Ye Xiao said in a low voice to himself. After eating his fill he went to the bed and started resting.
