It has to be known that under the efffects of numerous movement speed multipliers. Jiang Tian's movement speed exceeded average disciples and before Xia Hanyi could even react. Jiang Tian's back looked like a dot at the distance.

Rubbing his aching temples. Xia Hanyi could only sigh and mumble, "As long as they don't go too far then it's fine, seeing that the bastards from the Silent Monastery is starting to make their move before the three months deadline. I don't really have any time for this..."

Xia Hanyi disappeared from Jiang Tian's residence.

At the distance, Jiang Tian kept his pursuit and the commotion that he made gathered the attention of his fellow disciples. Xia Bingyue felt his presence from behind and was taken aback.

Her cultivation was at least a realm higher than him. Her speed and stamina should be stronger than him yet he could still keep his pursuit without stopping and recovering. Just what is going on? Xia BIngyue thought and with a stomp, her figure catapulted from the ground and soared through the skies, aiming towards the highest mountain peak where her father resided.

"Damn it, she's going for the restricted area?" Jiang Tian clicked his tongue in annoyance, without a substantial amount of resources, he didn't hope to breach a dangerous area such as a Mystic Realm. Though his knowledge, increased his survivability, nothing would be acquired without strength and sufficient preparation.

Rotating his Ghost Emperor Scripture, a thread of negative energy shot from the center of his eyebrows towards Xia Bingyue's figure. But before it could land on her body. A thin azure barrier blocked its way and disintegrated it into nothingness.

Even without asking his target. Jiang Tian knew that it was the effects of one of her protective items. As the daughter of the Grand Elder, Xia Bingyue was a valuable target so her father bestowed her with all the protection that he could, that also includes protections against Soul Attacks.

Jiang Tian clicked his tongue and could only watch from the distance as Xia BIngyue turned her head and stuck her tongue out towards his direction, making him even more irritated about what just happened.

Sweeping his gaze over the surrounding area, Jiang Tian saw that there wasn't any disciples around him. It was understandable since the Grand Elder's Residence was an absolute forbidden zone for disciples. No one even dared to step on a blade of grass around it, much more enter it.

Revolving his Ghost Emperor Scripture. Jiang Tian merged with the shadows of the towering trees around him and slowly went up the mountain. His camouflage was so formidable that beasts whose cultivation was a realm higher than him couldn't even detect his presence.

And what he did was only the basic, [Merge]

If his cultivation increased, Jiang Tian could even move undetected under broad daylight and walk through walls.

Eventually, Jiang Tian arrived at the peak of the mountain and a small mansion decorated with glimmering gems and shiny metals appeared before his eyes. The mansion didn't have any fences since there's little to no chance of thieves entering this forbidden area.

Despite this lax protection. Jiang Tian knitted his eyebrows and realized that every pillar, stones, and artificial trees or even the small riverstream in front of the mansion formed a wide array that prevented entrance to those without authority.

"Building such a sustainable array, and it's even so accurate that any stones around the mansion complemented the effects of the array and continuously gathered Spiritual Energy from the Heaven and Earth. Just who is the Grand Elder?" Jiang Tian sucked a mouthful of cold air. As a peak existence back in his previous life, those that can surprise someone like him could be counted on the fingers of one hand.

And that includes this magnificient sustainable array that surrounded the Grand Elder's Residence.

The array could not only detect and eliminate intruders but it could also create a perfect cultivation ground where one's cultivation efforts were doubled.

Still in his camouflage, Jiang Tian assessed risks and rewards before deciding that entering this array was currently dangerous for the weakling like him. Even with his tempered body, Jiang Tian understood that the current him couldn't possibly withstand a single strike from this array.

Retreating, his figure leaped on dark corners and tree shades. His movement, fluid and unimpeded. But before he could even reach the middle of the mountain. A fierce killing intent assaulted his side and Jiang Tians forcefully twisted his trajectory in mid-air while simultaneously crossing his arms before him as defense.

BOOM!

A deafening roar ensued, Jiang Tian's figure flew like a kite that lost its strings and a blood arrow spurted from his mouth. A single collision caused such severe damage on his body. One could predict how strong his assailant was.

His injured body struggled in mid-air as Jiang Tian flicked his wrist, sending the Flexible Ropes winding around a tree as he forcefully stopped his movement. Rolling on the ground like a bowling pin. Jiang Tian somersaulted and regained his balance.

Lifting his head, a fierce and cold light gleamed within his eyes along with an indisputable imperial aura that didn't allow for any disobedience. His Ghost Emperor Scripture madly healed his body and his Frozen Sovereign Manual ensured that he could react in the fastest speed possible.

"Oh? It's a disciple of my sect?" A feminine voice rang out along with the emergence of a beauty from the shadows. Clad in a purple robe along with an image depicting a soaring dragon. Jiang Tian's eyes widened in shock.

Those that dared to wear these kind of robes had the most powerful position in an influence.

His deduction skills told him one thing.

And it was the fact that this young woman.

Should be the "Patriarch" of the Xia Clan.

"Young man, don't you realize that you just entered a forbidden zone?" The femine voice sounded cold at first, but upon realizing that Jiang Tian was a disciple of her Clan. Her voice became mellow and gentle as springwater.

"Seeing that Yue'er looked so panicked when flying earlier, I thought that some kind of a pervert was pursuing her and it seems like I wasn't wrong. Young man, were you that pervert?" She asked once again before chuckling.

"I know that men has desires but isn't it quite inappropriate for you to try and land a hand on the princess of the Xia Clan? If you wanted some pleasures, you could've visited the City of Frost and enjoyed yourself there..."

She shook her head and stared right into Jiang Tian's defiant eyes. Her eyelashes quivered when she felt the cold and domineering frost that he emenated from his eyes.

Lifting an amused smile, she said, "So you're that kind of a man, aren't ya?"

"Despite being so severely injured, you can still stand up and become so defiant. Being beaten up should be your thing, right?" Under Jiang Tian's horrified eyes, the woman cracked her knuckles and approached him as she playfully said.

"How about you accompany this Elder Brother of yours for a round of bodily pleasures?" She said and Jiang Tian's miserable shriek soon reverberated throughout the entire mountain.
