It must be said, there were many times when Ye Xuan wanted to beat this Little Tower to a pulp!
It was just too good at showing off!
Ignoring the Little Tower, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged, slowly closing his eyes.
The earlier battle had been exhilarating!
When he wielded the Qingxuan Sword, Dao-Ming Realm experts were truly like ants to him—one sword, one kill!
However, he couldn’t underestimate Transformation Realm experts!
Of course, he also wanted to fight a Transformation Realm expert!
If Han Jiang hadn’t intervened earlier, he would’ve gone head-to-head with Mu Xu!
Moments later, Ye Xuan looked at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand, shaking his head with a wry smile.
At this moment, he could finally understand a bit of his elder brother’s helplessness.
Invincibility—that feeling wasn’t particularly great.
Because right now, he wished someone could defeat him. Only by being defeated could he find his shortcomings and improve.
Invincibility?
It wasn’t a comfortable feeling!
Ye Xuan stood up, sighing and shaking his head. “Little Tower, honestly, I’m starting to miss the days when I was constantly beaten down! Those days were tough, but fulfilling, and they gave me the drive to improve. Unlike now—being invincible makes me feel lonely and empty!”
After a moment of silence, Little Tower said, “Young Master, is it fun to show off to a tower?”
Ye Xuan burst into laughter and turned to leave.
He decided to seek out Han Jiang for a spar. Dao-Ming Realm? He had no interest in that anymore!
His small goal now was one sword, one Transformation Realm kill!
…
Just as Ye Xuan left the Little Tower, Han Jiang appeared before him, his expression unusually grave.
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “What’s wrong?”
Han Jiang said gravely, “White Day City isn’t playing by the rules!”
Ye Xuan was somewhat surprised. “What do you mean?”
Han Jiang’s face was ashen. “I just received a signal from the Defiant—he’s in danger!”
Ye Xuan was momentarily stunned, then said, “In danger?”
Han Jiang nodded. “It must be White Day City’s doing!”
Ye Xuan asked gravely, “Did their people make a move?”
Han Jiang replied, “We’ve been keeping an eye on their experts, and none have left White Day City!”
Ye Xuan’s brow furrowed. “So, they have others?”
Han Jiang nodded. “They have experts we don’t know about!”
Ye Xuan asked again, “And us? We must have some too, right?”
Han Jiang shook his head. “We don’t!”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
Han Jiang gave a wry smile. “Truly, we don’t! And I feel something’s off about this. As far as I know, White Day City only has six Transformation Realm experts, and all six are currently in White Day City… You know, producing a Transformation Realm expert is no small feat. Breaking through from Dao-Ming to Transformation creates a massive disturbance!”
Ye Xuan asked gravely, “Did the Defiant say anything else?”
Han Jiang shook his head. “After he sent the distress signal, we lost contact with him! You know his character—if it was just one-on-one, even if he died fighting, he wouldn’t ask for help. It must be that White Day City sent other experts!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “You want me to go?”
Han Jiang nodded, his expression dark. “Right now, we’re all tied up by White Day City’s experts. Anyone leaving would be intercepted!”
He looked at Ye Xuan. “Young friend Ye, you’re the extra piece we have. Only you can leave Eternal Night City, and White Day City won’t dare to stop you, because we’ll keep their current Transformation Realm experts pinned down!”
Ye Xuan said directly, “Where’s the Defiant?”
Han Jiang hurriedly replied, “The Divine War Realm! It’s an ancient battlefield where Eternal Night City and White Day City often clash!”
Ye Xuan looked at Han Jiang. “Don’t resist!”
With that, he suddenly placed his right hand on Han Jiang’s shoulder, slowly closing his eyes. “Think of the Divine War Realm!”
Han Jiang was momentarily stunned but didn’t think much of it, immediately picturing the Divine War Realm.
Moments later, Ye Xuan withdrew his hand. He opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared. In an instant, he vanished from the spot!
Han Jiang froze, and the next moment, his expression changed drastically. “This…”
He realised Ye Xuan had already gone to the Divine War Realm!
After a moment of silence, Han Jiang murmured, “That sword is impressive. I should ask young friend Ye to mass-produce some later. With those, wouldn’t Eternal Night City crush White Day City? Brilliant!”
…
Ye Xuan appeared directly in the Divine War Realm. The moment he entered, he froze, because he noticed the place was filled with the aura of death and the stench of blood.
For most people, such an aura of death and blood might be off-putting, but he didn’t mind at all—in fact, he found it somewhat familiar!
Ye Xuan scanned his surroundings. The place was a desolate continent, but its space was unusually sturdy. The spatial density here was at least dozens of times thicker than other places!
This shocked Ye Xuan!
He had traversed countless spaces, but this was the first time he’d encountered one with such dense spatial structure!
Without thinking too much, Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes, his divine sense sweeping the surroundings. With his current strength, his divine sense could instantly cover the entire Divine War Realm!
Soon, Ye Xuan frowned, because he didn’t find anyone!
Could they not be here anymore?
After a moment of silence, Ye Xuan looked up at the depths of the starry sky. The next moment, he rode his sword upward, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the starry sky above the Divine War Realm.
Ye Xuan scanned the area, his divine sense sweeping out again. Moments later, his frown deepened—he still found no one!
Ye Xuan muttered gravely, “Could the Defiant have already been killed?”
He shook his head.
He knew the Defiant’s strength. To kill him, it would take at least three Transformation Realm experts working together!
Standing in place, Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then glanced around the starry sky, calculating quietly in his mind.
At first, the Defiant and Tian Chen must have been fighting in the Divine War Realm, because he’d found traces of combat below. That meant the Defiant must have encountered some unexpected trouble and left the Divine War Realm!
Fleeing!
Where would the Defiant flee to?
As Ye Xuan pondered, he glanced around, and the next moment, he shot off in one direction!
That direction led to Eternal Night City!
In his view, if the Defiant had encountered an unbeatable enemy and needed to escape, he’d surely head toward Eternal Night City!
At that moment, Little Tower suddenly spoke. “Young Master…”
Ye Xuan said, “What do you want to say?”
After a moment of silence, Little Tower said, “Never mind!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “What’s that about?”
Little Tower replied, “I don’t want to say anything!”
Ye Xuan was speechless. Ignoring the Little Tower, he pushed his speed to the limit!
…
Divine War Realm.
Not long after Ye Xuan left, the spot where he had stood began to writhe. The next moment, a dishevelled man emerged from the ground!
The man was dressed in tattered clothes, his hair a mess, looking at first glance like a beggar.
He looked up at the depths of the starry sky, frowning slightly. “The aura of that sword…”
At this, a fervent gleam flashed in his eyes. “An unknown expert… and a woman’s aura… Interesting, haha…”
With that, he licked his lips, his gaze lascivious. “Women… strong women are the most fun to play with! Haha…”
…
At the edge of the distant starry sky, Ye Xuan rode his sword. Soon, he stopped, because he noticed the space before him was pitch black!
A battle had taken place!
Ye Xuan frowned and entered the dark space, closing his eyes slightly. His divine sense swept out, and moments later, he opened his eyes and vanished from the spot.
*Swish!*
A streak of sword light flashed through the dark space!
Not long after, Ye Xuan suddenly stopped. At that moment, he sensed an extremely powerful aura!
Ye Xuan’s brow furrowed. Just then, the space before him tore open, and a man rushed out.
It was the Defiant!
It must be said, the Defiant looked wretched. Not only was his body tattered and covered in wounds, but his right arm was gone. Most horrifyingly, a crimson-gold arrow was embedded in his left chest!
Seeing the Defiant in such a state, Ye Xuan was completely stunned. How had this guy ended up so battered?
Seeing Ye Xuan, the Defiant was also momentarily stunned. The next moment, his expression changed. “Brother Ye… you… you’re not here to spar with me, are you?”
Ye Xuan was about to speak when the Defiant hurriedly added, “Brother Ye, now’s not the time for sparring. Let’s fight another day, alright?”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. “I’m with Eternal Night City now!”
The Defiant was stunned. “Eternal Night City?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes! We’re on the same side now! I…”
At that moment, the Defiant suddenly grabbed Ye Xuan’s arm. “Brother Ye, help… help me!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The Defiant was about to say more when the space behind him suddenly split open. The next moment, a man in white stepped out slowly. He held an ink-black bow, with a quiver on his back containing six arrows: two gold, three black, and one purple!
Beside the man stood a black-robed man and a woman in a purple dress.
The black-robed man held a sheathed long sabre in his left hand, his long hair draped over his shoulders, a deep scar between his brows.
The woman in the purple dress held a white long spear in her right hand, her face veiled, her crystal-blue eyes exceedingly enchanting.
Seeing these three, Ye Xuan froze. They all looked young—clearly, they weren’t likely from White Day City!
And if they weren’t from White Day City, where were they from?
At that moment, the leading man in white looked at Ye Xuan, his gaze immediately falling on the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Xuan’s hand. Seeing the sword, his brow furrowed slightly!
In the distance, the Defiant beside Ye Xuan said gravely, “Brother Ye… did you come alone?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “What’s the problem?”
The Defiant hesitated, then said, “Then we can escape!”
With that, he turned and vanished into the horizon.
Ye Xuan stood there, utterly dumbfounded.
