Tang Ye wasn’t a First Heaven Realm expert, that was something that was beyond all doubt. The reason he’d suddenly become strong was that Baldy Qiang had walked over to him, and he’d secretly slapped on a high-grade Strength Talisman on himself during this time. Under the boost from the high-grade Strength Talisman and his golden Profound Energy, his strength had instantly risen by countless times. Moreover, Baldy Qiang and the others had underestimated him, and it allowed him to launch a surprise attack successfully. Otherwise, with his normal strength, it ought to be possible to defeat Baldy Qiang, yet it was absolutely impossible to instantly annihilate Baldy Qiang! Tang Ye casually swung his sword before gazing at Xiu Yuan who had a ghastly pale countenance and was trembling slightly. Right when he intended to deal with this piece of trash, Xiu Yuan suddenly said, “Tang, Tang Ye. You can’t kill me. My Big Brother is a First Heaven Realm expert. If... if you kill me, then he’ll definitely not let you go.” Idiot! You’re still trying to threaten me at a time like this? Tang Ye cursed in his heart. With a swift charge, his sword left behind a string of afterimages as it arrived before Xiu Yuan. Xiu Yuan was astounded in his heart, and he raised the sword in his hand to block instinctively. Clang! The Xiu Yuan’s sword broke into two before Tang Ye’s sword pierced through his chest. After he put his sword away, Tang ye turned around and looked towards Snake Forest before he said in an indifferent tone, “Could it be that you intend to play the part of the oriole?” When they heard Tang Ye, Man’zi and the others were shocked in their hearts. There are more people in the surroundings? The three of them suppressed the shock in their hearts and walked over to Tang Ye’s side while their faces were covered in vigilant expression.“What a formidable Divine Sense!” After a short moment of deathly silence, along with this voice, three figures suddenly leaped out from within Snake Forest. These three figures were extremely swift, and they closed a distance of over 100m in a few breaths of time to arrive 9m before Tang Ye. It was two men and one woman. The men were handsome while the woman was beautiful, and all of them were around 17 or 18 years of age. All of them wore white and plain fitting robes, and a tiny silver colored crescent was embroidered on their left chest. Even though they were young, Tang Ye’s expression was extremely solemn. Because even though they hadn’t attained the First Heaven Realm, their strengths were definitely much stronger than Baldy Qiang whom he’d just killed a few moments ago. The reason he made such an inference was that their speeds were truly too swift, and it was utterly not something ordinary mercenaries could possess. “The Brightmoon Sect!” When she saw the silver crescent on their chests, Qing Hong exclaimed with surprise. Obviously, she was warning Tang Ye. When he heard Qing Hong, Tang Ye swiftly recalled everything he knew about the Brightmoon Sect. Besides a colossus like the Grand Qin Empire, there were six more extraordinary powers in the southern territory. These six extraordinary powers were separated into one school, two palaces, and three sects. The single school amongst them was the strongest amongst the six extraordinary powers, the Origin School. The two palaces were respectively Snow Palace and Flower Palace. As for the three sects, it was the Ghost Sect, Brightmoon Sect, and Sword Sect. Of course, these were merely the powers that existed on the surface. The southern territory was extremely huge, and there were countless hidden clans and small sects. However, Tang Ye didn’t know anything about those hidden powers. When they heard Qing Hong, a man that looked slightly older amongst the three disciples from Brightmoon Sect took a step forward, and he nodded to Tang Ye’s group before he said, “I’m Brightmoon Sect’s outer court disciple, Ming Hao. These two by my side are my Junior Brother Ming Xiu and Junior Sister Ming Yue. Earlier, we’d just left Snake Forest when we noticed you in battle with others, and for the sake of avoiding any suspicion, the three of us didn’t show ourselves. However, I never expected that your Divine Sense would be so formidable, and you actually noticed the three of us.” When they saw these disciples from a sect act so courteously, Man’zi and the others were slightly not used to it. After all, all these disciples from sects were filled with arrogance when they met mercenaries in the past, and they looked at mercenaries as if those mercenaries were insignificant ants. Of course, the three of them knew that these disciples from Brightmoon Sect were so courteous because of Tang Ye. The strong were respected in the southern territory. Earlier, Ming Hao and the others were extremely shocked when they watched Tang Ye fight from the shadows. It wasn’t that they hadn’t seen such a swift sword in the past, yet a swift sword that carried such formidable strength was rare. Especially because Tang Ye had even noticed them, and this caused them to feel even more shocked. When he saw them acting so courteously, Tang Ye didn’t give them the cold shoulder. He nodded lightly and said, “I’m Tang Ye, an independent cultivator, and these few people by my side are my companions.” When they heard Tang Ye, Ming Hao and the others were slightly surprised. They’d originally thought that Tang Ye was a disciple of the Sword Sect, but they’d never expected that Tang Ye was actually an independent cultivator. However, this wasn’t important to them, and all that mattered was Tang Ye’s strength. “I wonder if Brother Tang is interested in training yourself with us?” Ming Hao smiled as he invited. No matter if Tang Ye was an independent cultivator or a disciple of a sect, possessing such strength at such an age was sufficient for them to treat him as an equal.
