Although no ordinary person could track Young Master Hao, it doesn’t mean Ye Xiao also could not.
“Eyes of Insight!”
The moment Ye Xiao activated the Eyes of Insight, everything in front of him became crystal clear. With the help of Eyes of Insight, Ye Xiao gained insight as to how much distance Young Master Hao would have covered by using the talisman and in what direction he must have gone.
After figuring out everything, Ye Xiao immediately took action. He disappeared and the next moment he appeared, he was already more than ten miles away.
“You can forget about leaving today.”
Ye Xiao said as he casually punched the space in front of him. The Chaos Energy in his body erupted instantly.
“Argh…”
The moment Ye Xiao punched out, spatial energy fluctuated in the air in front of Ye Xiao and a figure appeared. The next moment, the punch landed and a painful scream sounded in the surroundings.
Young Master Hao was sent flying.
Ye Xiao then walked to Young Master Hao and casually grabbed him by the collar before lifting him up.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible. I clearly escaped. How can you possibly capture me?”
A trace of fear appeared on Young Master Hao’s face. He could not understand how Ye Xiao appeared in front of him in an instant and even knew the exact location from where he was going to walk out.
“There are still many things you don’t understand. Young Master Hao, right? Do you want to die, or live?”
Ye Xiao’s tone was calm. Beside him, Fang Da and Phantom both looked menacing, which terrified Young Master Hao.
But in this situation, what else could he do? There was no way he could escape even if he wanted to.
“Live, of course, I want to live!”
Young Master Hao said through gritted teeth.
Who wouldn’t want to live?
Even an ant would struggle for the sake of survival. Moreover, he was a dignified descendant of the Hao Family in Crystal City. How could he want to die?
A smile appeared on Ye Xiao’s face. He did not continue asking Young Master Hao anything. The next moment he again disappeared with Young Master Hao and reappeared in front of Qi Xuan who was still standing inside the Lin Family.
He said to Qi Xuan, “I don’t care what you do with the Lin Family, but I want all the books in the Lin Family’s library!”
“Senior, I understand!”
Qi Xuan lowered his head respectfully.
Ye Xiao then carried Young Master Hao in one hand and leaped forward. In a few leaps, he had returned to the Qi Family’s library.
“Thump!”
Ye Xiao threw Young Master Hao to the ground.
Young Master Hao appeared to be in a rather sorry state, but he did not dare to flare up at this moment.
“If you want to live, you have to prove your value!” Ye Xiao said calmly.
Young Master Hao gritted his teeth and took out a silver soft armor on his body. He said in a low voice, “This Silver Armor is a Soulbound Treasure, enough to withstand a strike from a Peak Chaos Land Realm warrior.”
Previously, Young Master Hao had relied on this silver soft armor to resist Phantom’s attack. However, he did not manage to hold out for long, which meant that this armor was not too strong.
“Not enough!”
Ye Xiao did not even glance at this soft armor.
Young Master Hao thought for a moment and took out all kinds of treasures. However, these treasures were a little unique, but they were only Empyrean-grade treasures at most and had not even reached the Soulbound Rank. What was the use of those treasures to Ye Xiao?
“Still not enough!”
“What exactly do you want?”
Young Master Hao took out everything he carried. Seeing that Ye Xiao was still dissatisfied, he could only grit his teeth and ask.
“I want all the books present in your Hao Family.”
“What? You want all the books from my Hao Family? That’s impossible. Do you know that if the books of my Hao Family get out of the library, the Hao Family will definitely hunt you down? They’ll never tolerate it!”
“Oh? Doesn’t your Hao Family already want to hunt me down now?”
Young Master Hao was slightly stunned. Indeed, Ye Xiao had already offended the Hao Family to the extreme. Taking away the Mountain Suppressing Pagoda and killing nine Peak Chaos Dust Realm warriors was already a mortal feud. How could the Hao Family let Ye Xiao off?
Seeing that Young Master Hao was still hesitating, he again said, “Don’t worry, I’m not saying to bring me all the books at once. Just bring me dozens of books at once every day. The next day, when you will bring another batch of books, I will return the previous ones. Then you can put those books back in the library. Although there is a risk, the risk is not that great this way.”
“And when I will read all the books present in your family’s library, you will be free. How about it?”
Young Master Hao gritted his teeth. He hesitated and after thinking for a while, he shook his head and spoke, “No, I can’t do that. Every book has to be registered before someone could take them out of the library. I really can’t do that.”
Ye Xiao frowned. He had already given Young Master Hao a way to save his life, but he still refused to eat the toast.
“Since that’s the case, just die!”
Ye Xiao sighed and just as he was about to kill Young Master Hao, Young Master Hao took out a few combat skills and cultivation techniques from his spatial ring and threw them to the ground. Then he said, “I can currently only give you these books. If you want to read more, I can not help you with that. The most I can do is to bring you to the Hao Family. After that, if you can find a way to enter the library and read the books, you can do that yourself. How about it?”
Ye Xiao furrowed his brows. He was surprised by the sudden idea proposed by Young Master Hao.
In the end, he agreed with Young Master Hao and told him to wait for him for a few days. After he will read all the books gathered in the library, he will go with him.
At the same time, he also warned Young Master Hao to not try to play any trick. Otherwise, he will immediately kill him.
Young Master Hao had already seen how terrifying Ye Xiao is. How could he still have thoughts to play tricks on Ye Xiao? He immediately nodded and said that he will never dare to play dirty tricks on Ye Xiao.
After that, Ye Xiao focused on reading the books again.
he believed that, with the knowledge he acquired from the library of Illusiory Spirit Gate, and the knowledge he will acquire from all these books in the Black Gold City, he can definitely create a combat skill that will best suit him.
He obtained the idea of creating a combat skill that best suits him from Yu Tian’s words. When Yu Tian told him that he was the creator of the Land Turning Seal, that stirred Ye Xiao’s heart. And he decided to create one for himself as well.

╠ Crystal City ╣
In the Hao family, the courtyard built from white jade was intricately arranged. The pavilions were all exquisite and beautiful, like a paradise. ｂｎ𝚘ｖ𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐
However, at this moment, more than ten elders were sitting in the hall of the Hao family. They were all of the high statuses in the Hao family and had reached the level of peak Chaos Dust Realm warriors.
This was the Hao family that had once given birth to a Late Stage Chaos Spirit Realm warrior. Their foundation was profound, far from what other families could compare to. Hence, even though no one from the Hao family had ever cultivated to the level of a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior since the disappearance of their ancestor, they were still the hegemon of Crystal City!
The current family head, Hao Chuan, was the top genius of the Hao family when he was young. He had once defeated his peers in several surrounding large families, and become the strongest person among the younger generation!
He was once reputed to be the top genius in the Hao family, who had the greatest chance of becoming a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior. Unfortunately, Hao Chuan still could not break that barrier and enter into a new realm of cultivation. Nonetheless, he was in charge of the entire Hao family, wielding great authority with austerity.
“Elders, I summoned you here to discuss a major matter. Not long ago, the Lin Family of Black Gold City sent news that they were willing to submit to our Hao family. They also provided us with a piece of information that told about the appearance of a powerful Chaos Beast in Black Gold City. Hence, I sent Hao Lin and nine peak Chaos Dust Realm warriors there and had them bring the Mountain Suppressing Pagoda to suppress that Chaos Beast.
