Liberation!
Zong Bai looked at Ye Xuan, her expression complicated.
She hadn’t expected that Ye Xuan’s simple chat with this powerful woman would resolve everything so easily!
It was utterly absurd!
This man’s tongue was even more terrifying than his strength. If her clan continued to target Ye Xuan, they’d be dangerously close to destruction!
She secretly resolved that, once she left, she’d do everything to stop her clan from provoking Ye Xuan further.
Seeing everyone saved, Ye Xuan smiled slightly, “Thank you!”
The woman looked at Ye Xuan. “I freed them. Don’t you owe me a favor now?”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
As expected, things weren’t that simple!
The martial world was complex indeed!
The woman asked, “Unwilling?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Please, speak, miss!”
The woman nodded. “I think you’re quite the talker. How about this: come with me and help persuade my sister. What do you say?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The woman looked at him. “Any problem?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Well… I’ve never done anything like persuading someone before!”
The woman said earnestly, “I believe in you!”
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Persuading someone?
What kind of task was this?
The woman just stared at him, silent.
Unable to withstand her gaze, Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. “Alright, I’ll try, but I can’t guarantee success!”
The woman nodded, “That’s fine!”
Ye Xuan asked, “Do we leave now?”
The woman nodded slightly, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then turned to Zong Bai. After a brief silence, she said, “Young Master Ye, I suppose this is where we part.”
Ye Xuan smiled, “You’re returning to your clan?”
Zong Bai nodded, “I’m going back to become the clan leader!”
She knew the only way to save her clan was to take charge. Otherwise, if they provoked Ye Xuan again, the clan would be doomed!
Ye Xuan nodded, “Good!”
He then looked at Ye Xian and Sima. Ye Xian quickly said, “I’m willing to follow Young Master Ye! Through fire or blade, I’ll never hesitate!”
Sima glanced at Ye Xian, then hurriedly added, “Me too! Young Master Ye, you’re my big brother from now on. Whoever you tell me to take down, I’ll do it!”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily. “Then take your people to the Guanxuan Academy in the Universe of the Gods. A girl named Qingqiu will receive you there.”
Ye Xian bowed deeply, “Understood!”
Sima nodded, “Alright!”
Ye Xuan turned to Su Xiaoxiao, who hesitated before asking, “Can I go to your academy?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Of course!”
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him, “Thank you!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “You’re welcome!”
He then turned to the woman beside him. “Miss, shall we go?”
The woman nodded, grabbing Ye Xuan’s shoulder. In the next moment, they tore through space and vanished.
…
Zong Bai stood silently for a moment before turning to leave.
The others also dispersed.
Soon, the entire Fallen City erupted into wild celebration.
They were liberated!
What Ye Xuan didn’t expect was that many in the Fallen City were willing to follow Ye Xian and the others to the Guanxuan Academy. Having been trapped for so long, their past lives had turned to dust. For them, finding a new home was paramount.
Clearly, the Guanxuan Academy was an excellent choice.
Before long, the powerhouses of the Fallen City set off for the Guanxuan Academy.
…
In a spacetime tunnel, Ye Xuan and the woman shuttled through dimensions.
The speed was incredible!
So fast that Ye Xuan’s physical body struggled to endure, but he didn’t summon his battle armor, choosing to tough it out.
He glanced at the black-skirted woman beside him. Her expression was calm, showing no discomfort.
Ye Xuan, curious, asked, “How may I address you, miss?”
The woman replied, “Wenren Lan!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “The Wenren Clan?”
The woman nodded.
Ye Xuan nodded again, saying no more.
Wenren Lan turned to him. “Have you heard of the Wenren Clan?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “No!”
Wenren Lan stared at him, silent.
Ye Xuan gave a wry smile, “Really, I haven’t!”
Wenren Lan nodded, “I believe you!”
She studied him, then said, “Your strength isn’t weak, and you have the Great Dao Pen. Your background must be extraordinary. So why haven’t you heard of the Wenren Clan?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then smiled, “Perhaps my strength isn’t enough to access certain circles!”
Wenren Lan was silent for a moment before saying, “That makes sense, but my gut tells me your origins aren’t simple!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Let’s not dwell on that!”
Wenren Lan nodded.
Ye Xuan asked, “Can you tell me about your sister and that Mu Wen?”
Wenren Lan’s face instantly turned ferocious. “My sister went to the lower realms and met this man. He was on his way to an exam when he encountered danger. My sister, out of kindness, saved him. But she never expected that saving him would ruin her!”
Ye Xuan asked, “She fell in love with Mu Wen?”
Wenren Lan nodded, “That man was a smooth talker!”
She glanced at Ye Xuan. “Just like you!”
“Hold on!” Ye Xuan quickly said, “Miss Lan, can you not make baseless accusations? When have I been a smooth talker?”
Wenren Lan’s expression was calm. “Just a guess!”
Ye Xuan’s face froze.
Wenren Lan continued, “Scholars are no good.”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Wenren Lan looked into the distance, saying softly, “My sister fell for him, determined to marry no one else. But her true heart was fed to the dogs! After that man won some top scholar title, he married another woman in the court.”
Her eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she waved her sleeve.
Boom!
A patch of starry sky to the right was obliterated!
Ye Xuan’s eyelids twitched. This woman’s strength was no joke!
Wenren Lan suddenly turned to him. “You’re a scholar too!”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Wenren Lan stared at him, silent.
The atmosphere grew tense.
Ye Xuan smiled, “I’m not just a scholar, I’m also a writer!”
He opened his palm, and a copy of *The Divine Law Codex* floated to Wenren Lan. “I wrote this!”
Small Pagoda: “…”
The Great Dao Pen couldn’t hold back, blurting, “Damn!”
Wenren Lan took the codex, glanced through it, then looked at Ye Xuan. “You wrote this?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes!”
Wenren Lan nodded slightly, “Impressive!”
She handed the codex back to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Scholars can be good or bad. I’m one of the good ones!”
Wenren Lan glanced at the Great Dao Pen at his waist. “How did you get that pen?”
Ye Xuan grinned, “Perhaps due to my personal charm!”
Somewhere in the Milky Way, in a room, a voice suddenly roared, “Damn it! Damn it! Arghhh!”
Soon, the room echoed with furious shouts.
…
In the spacetime tunnel, Wenren Lan stared at Ye Xuan, silent, as if trying to see through him.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Is there a flower on my face?”
Wenren Lan shook her head, “No! You seem sincere, but my intuition tells me something’s off about you. Is my intuition wrong?”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “I’m not after anything from you, so why would I deceive you?”
Wenren Lan shook her head, “Let’s drop this. I hope you can convince my sister to let go of her obsession.”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I’ll try to… er, I mean, I’ll do my best to persuade her!”
Wenren Lan nodded, saying no more.
Their speed increased.
Soon, a white light appeared ahead, and the two vanished.
…
When Ye Xuan opened his eyes, he stood before a grand hall.
The hall was pitch-black, exuding an eerie, unsettling aura.
Ye Xuan looked up at the sign above, which bore two large characters: Divine Prison.
He turned to Wenren Lan. “This is?”
Wenren Lan’s expression was calm. “The Divine Prison, where my Wenren Clan detains those who’ve erred.”
She led Ye Xuan toward the hall.
Ye Xuan glanced around, his eyes narrowing. He sensed countless powerful auras!
Each one was at least Ancestral God Realm!
Ancestral Gods!
Ye Xuan froze.
Were Ancestral Gods as common as dogs now?
He said solemnly, “Brother Pen, are you setting me up again? I haven’t even dealt with the Zong Clan, and you’ve already upgraded the map!”
The Great Dao Pen was silent for a moment, then said, “You’ve got a sister, what are you afraid of?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
At that moment, a man appeared before Wenren Lan and bowed slightly. “Second Young Miss!”
Wenren Lan said calmly, “I’m going in!”
The man hesitated, clearly troubled.
Wenren Lan stared at him, silent.
The man gave a wry smile, “Second Young Miss, please!”
Wenren Lan nodded and turned to Ye Xuan, “Come!”
The man’s face changed drastically. “Second Young Miss, outsiders absolutely cannot enter!”
Wenren Lan looked at him. “Does my father have a son?”
The man blinked, then said, “No!”
Wenren Lan nodded, “Who do you think the next clan leader will be?”
The man froze, then his face paled.
Damn!
The next clan leader would be her!
Realizing this, cold sweat poured down his face. He quickly said, “Please, go ahead! I saw nothing!”
With that, he retreated.
Ye Xuan glanced at Wenren Lan, silent.
Wenren Lan’s face was expressionless as she led Ye Xuan into the hall. Just as they entered, a terrified roar echoed from deep within, “Mad Demon Bloodline… This is the Mad Demon Bloodline… You’re not the Green Shirt Sword Master, who are you… Who… Who the hell are you…”
The voice was filled with fear and disbelief.
