King Of Chaos

"Why are they in such a hurry?"

Ye Xiao muttered in confusion and released his Divine Sense, enveloping the entire Mystic City.

Very quickly, he knew what was going on. It turned out that the City Lord of the Mystic City, an expert half-a-foot in the Mystic Sovereign Realm, was assassinated silently by someone unknown.

It was a one-hit kill.

Someone cleanly severed his head from his body without having to waste any effort. It was clear that the assassin was not only well-versed in hiding his presence, but he was also stronger than the now-dead City Lord of the Mystic City.

A swarm of people were going to the City Lord Mansion for this reason. Everyone was in a hurry.

"Oh, it is you!"

As for Ye Xiao, he was easily able to locate the assassin who killed the City Lord. It was who had just become a Mystic Sovereign. There was a golden hue around his body which was helping him hide his presence. Even if he walked in the crowd, no one would be able to see or sense him.

"There is something strange about him!" 

Ye Xiao muttered as he deeply looked at that person.

Other than the golden hue surrounding his body which was mysterious enough, his heart seemed to be producing an endless surge of energy. This energy had a strange connection to Chaos and its fate.

Yes, Chaos's fate.

With every passing second, that connection was becoming stronger and stronger.

Although the difference was minuscule enough to not be discovered by anyone even after dozens of years, Ye Xiao was able to discover it because of the Eyes of Insight that he had already activated when he discovered that something was strange about him.

"He is the next-to-be King of Chaos of this Chaos."

Ye Xiao was still deep in thought when the Lotus of Chaos answered the rising question in his mind. It continued to speak, "He is Hu Xiao, the person who will lead you to the Azure Tomb of the Ancients. He is also the successor as well as a descendant of the current King of Chaos. Not only did he obtain the inheritance of the current King of Chaos, Hu Wuxiao, he also obtained the Pearl of Destiny that will make him the next King of Chaos."

"The continuous surge of energy coming from his heart that you are sensing is actually the Energy from the Pearl of Destiny that is establishing a link between Hu Xiao's destiny and this Chaos's destiny. This is how, Hu Wuxiao, the current King of Chaos rose to his position. Hu Xiao will follow in his footsteps."

"Anyway, this matter doesn't concern you. Let nature run its course accordingly in this Chaos. Don't interfere. You are not the being of this Chaos, this entire Chaos is just a cultivation ground for you to become stronger as quickly as possible. Nothing more and nothing less!"

After explaining this much, the Lotus of Chaos fell silent, and the same goes for Ye Xiao. He also becomes quiet.

The Lotus of Chaos brought a new question to Ye Xiao's mind.

What does the Lotus mean when it says that he is not the being of this Chaos and that the entire Chaos is just a cultivation ground for him?

Although Ye Xiao was curious, he knew he wouldn't get any answer until he completed the mission given to him.

As long as he gathers 108 Rule Source Crystals, he can receive all the answers he wants.

.....

Hu Xiao had just walked into an empty alley when he saw a light flashing before his eyes, and then, a person materialized out of thin air.

"Who are you?"

Hu Xiao immediately became alert. Someone who could appear out of nowhere like this must be an extremely powerful character, not to mention he, even as a newly ascended Mystic Sovereign, was unable to sense this person's arrival.

Ye Xiao smiled at Hu Xiao and spoke, "I'm the person you were waiting for!"

"A person I was waiting for?"

Hu Xiao frowned. He did not let his guard down and continued to look at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao also maintained the same smile on his face, and spoke again, "I don't care why you killed the City Lord of this city or anything that is unrelated to me. Let's get straight to our business."

As Ye Xiao spoke, his gaze became very sharp and seemed to be capable of piercing through Hu Xiao's soul itself.

Hu Xiao was terrified and had a feeling that Ye Xiao could kill him with a single move if he wanted.

Ye Xiao did not remove his sharp gaze. He said in a deep voice, "I was told that you would lead me to the Azure Tomb of Ancients."

"You are that person!"

A strand of lightning coursed through his body as Hu Xiao exclaimed in surprise.

It has been more than a hundred years since that woman gave him an opportunity, the opportunity to inherit the legacy of his ancestor who is also the current King of Chaos.

In return, she asked him to help someone lead to the Azure Tomb of Ancients.

Although it has only been more than a hundred years, he had been waiting for thousands of years.

Due to the Pearl of Destiny, he could enter the sacred cultivation ground left behind by Hu Wuxiao where time passes twenty times slower than outside. It was also the reason behind his instant rise in power and becoming a Mystic Sovereign from a very weak individual.

Now, the said person was standing in front of him.

"I will definitely fulfill my promise!" Hu Xiao said, stopped for a few seconds, and spoke, "However, I will not enter the Azure Tomb of Ancients. That is the number one forbidden ground of this Land and no one has ever come out of there alive. Although I'm already a Mystic Sovereign, I've just entered this realm. I'm not confident that I'll be able to walk out of that place alive. I'll lead you to the entrance, but afterward, it is all up to you!"

"I'm not telling you to enter that place with me in the first place. If not for the fact that only natives of this Land could find the entrance of Azure Tomb of the Ancients, I would not have even come to find you."

Afterward, Ye Xiao and Hu Xiao exchanged a few small talks before they set off for the Azure Tomb of the Ancients immediately.

No one wanted to waste their time.

"We should go faster. I've to return and participate in the gathering as well. There is something big I've to do in Mystic City!"

As the two of them were flying in a certain direction at full speed, Hu Xiao spoke.

Ye Xiao stopped in midair all of a sudden and Hu Xiao was forced to stop as well. He felt irritated but before he could say, Ye Xiao did something that shocked Hu Xiao.

Ye Xiao first enveloped a larger half of the Land of Mystic Falls and then shared his vision with Hu Xiao.

How did Ye Xiao achieve the feet of sharing his vision?

It was very simple actually.

Ye Xiao used his powerful consciousness to send the images he was looking at directly inside Hu Xiao's mind. 

"Now, tell me. Where should we go? Just tell me and we'll be there in an instant!"

Hu Xiao took a deep breath and replied, "Look at that forest covered in fog completely. That is the Eternal Fog Forest. It is said that fog was there before the forest grew out. That fog never disappeared. Anyway, our destination is the central area of that Eternal Fog Forest!"

Ye Xiao nodded his head, grabbed Hu Xiao's shoulder, and disappeared. When he appeared again, he was at the place pointed by Hu Xiao.

Hu Xiao was shocked but he quickly suppressed his emotions, knowing that anyone related to that lady must not be an ordinary being.

"Let's go. We are not far from the portal that will lead you directly inside the Azure Tomb of Ancients!"

Hu Xiao explained as he stepped forward, following behind him was Ye Xiao.

"Portal?" Ye Xiao frowned.

Nodding his head, Hu Xiao chuckled.

"That portal is the true entrance to the Azure Tomb of Ancients. However, that portal needs a drop of blood essence of the native of this Land in order to appear."

As Hu Xiao explained they arrived in front of dense bushes.

The fog was already making things difficult for them, causing them to be unable to see clearly. And these bushes added another layer of poisonous gases on top of the fog.

However, mysterious enough, the poisonous gases were not getting out of the range of bushes. Something seemed to hold them there tightly, not letting them go.

"We need to cross these bushes and we'll be there!"

Hu Xiao explained and took out a few pills, trying to give them to Ye Xiao, saying, "These pills could stop you from getting poisoned. Just swallow them!"

"I don't need them. No poison in Chaos could poison me!" Ye Xiao smiled at Hu Xiao mysteriously and refused his offer.
