Nothing at all!
Beside the old man, the person remained silent.
Ye Xuan was indeed prodigious, with immense strength, but if he weren’t the Yang Clan’s heir, what would he amount to in the eyes of the entire clan?
As Elder Gu said, nothing at all!
Elder Gu sighed again, “I just offered him advice to see if this Young Master had a broader perspective, but alas…”
He shook his head, “Just a hot-blooded youth, only knowing how to act bravely! Sigh!”
His eyes flashed with disappointment, “Watch, his trip to the Punishment Division will stir up a colossal disaster, and in the end, he’ll lose his status as Young Master, perhaps even be expelled from the Yang Clan!”
…
Deep in the distant starry sky.
Su Ming hesitated, then said, “Young Master, this Punishment Division isn’t simple.”
Ye Xuan smiled, “How so?”
Su Ming said gravely, “It oversees the Yang Clan’s punishments, independent of all other departments, answering only to Lady Su! They might not give you, Young Master, any face!”
Ye Xuan blinked, “I don’t need them to give me face!”
Su Ming fell silent.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a pang of panic!
What was this Young Master planning?
Was he going to take down the entire Yang Clan?
At this thought, cold sweat dripped down Su Ming’s face.
Honestly, he was tempted to slip away, because he realised this Young Master was set on overturning everything!
Beside him, Zhang Shi stood respectfully by Ye Xuan’s side.
He wasn’t panicked at all!
He had already bet his entire future on Ye Xuan—either a life of glory and wealth or complete annihilation.
He had no regrets!
It was his choice!
Soon, Ye Xuan and the others arrived at the Punishment Division.
The Punishment Division was perched atop a high mountain, its atmosphere eerie and foreboding, like a ghostly hall, instilling fear at a mere glance!
Looking at the Punishment Division, Su Ming’s expression grew solemn. In truth, he had only heard of the division and never dealt with it directly, as his rank was too low!
Within the Yang Clan, the Punishment Division was highly secretive, akin to the emperor’s covert guards, with the terrifying authority to act first and report later!
Ye Xuan looked down at the Punishment Division below and smiled slightly. His palm opened, and a beam of sword light shot into the sky!
Buzz!
A sword’s cry reverberated through the heavens and earth!
Yet, the Punishment Division below showed no response!
Seeing this, Zhang Shi’s face darkened, “Young Master, let’s just go in and take them down!”
The Punishment Division surely knew of Ye Xuan’s arrival, and their lack of reaction could only mean one thing: they were trying to put him in his place!
Young Master?
The Punishment Division answers only to Lady Su!
Hearing Zhang Shi’s words, Ye Xuan laughed heartily. The next moment, his palm opened, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared in his hand. He looked down at the Punishment Division, “I, Ye Xuan, am not an unreasonable man. I have no grudge with the Punishment Division and have no wish to create more bloodshed. I’m here today only to kill Yuan Shi!”
Below, the Punishment Division still gave no response!
Ye Xuan’s lips curled into a slight, ferocious smile. The next moment, his eyes turned blood-red, and a terrifying surge of bloodline power shot into the sky. In an instant, the entire starry sky became a sea of blood, utterly horrifying!
The Mad Demon Bloodline!
Beside him, Su Ming and the others’ faces changed dramatically!
At that moment, an old man suddenly appeared before Ye Xuan and his group, looking at Ye Xuan with a trace of solemnity in his eyes, “Mad Demon Bloodline, you…”
Ye Xuan burst into laughter, “No more nonsense!”
As his voice fell, he vanished from his spot!
Rip!
In everyone’s sight, the old man’s pupils shrank. Before he could react, his head, along with a gush of blood, flew out.
Without any further words, Ye Xuan charged straight towards the Punishment Division below, a monstrous wave of killing intent and ferocity enveloping the entire division.
Under this tide of killing intent and ferocity, the faces of the Punishment Division’s powerhouses changed dramatically!
In front of Ye Xuan, the old man hurriedly said, “Young Master, the Punishment Division is independent of all departments, answering only to the Sword Master and Lady Su, you…”
At that moment, Ye Xuan vanished again.
This time, he didn’t use Instant Invincibility but unleashed all his sword intent!
After merging with the faith power of the “Human Spirit,” his Human Sword Intent had reached a terrifying level, though he had never tested its full power! Now, he pushed his Human Sword Intent to its limit!
Amplified by his bloodline power, his Human Sword Intent became even more terrifying!
The moment Ye Xuan struck with his sword, the old man’s heart filled with dread. Facing this terrifying strike, he didn’t dare underestimate or be careless, nor could he dodge, as Ye Xuan’s sword was too fast for him to evade!
The old man charged forward, creating countless overlapping afterimages, while the surrounding space shattered!
Rip!
A black light met Ye Xuan’s terrifying sword strike head-on!
Boom!
Suddenly, a burst of sword light shattered, countless afterimages vanished, and the old man was flung back tens of thousands of feet. As he stopped, a shadow appeared behind him—it was Ye Xuan, and a sword was already lodged between the old man’s brows.
It was the Qingxuan Sword!
An instant kill!
Seeing this, Zhang Shi was utterly shocked. He realised Ye Xuan’s strength had grown even more formidable!
It was absurd!
Su Ming’s face was equally grave. Ye Xuan’s strength was truly terrifying. This old man was at the Divine Realm, yet Ye Xuan killed him as easily as slaughtering a chicken!
Too terrifying!
At that moment, he became even more convinced that this Young Master was personally groomed by the Sword Master!
With this thought, much of his earlier panic dissipated.
In the distance, behind Ye Xuan, the old man’s eyes were wide with disbelief. He hadn’t expected to be killed so easily!
Feeling his soul rapidly fading, the old man hurriedly said, “Young Master, you can’t do this, you…”
At that moment, the Qingxuan Sword trembled violently, completely absorbing the old man’s soul!
Body and soul obliterated!
Beside him, Zhang Shi sighed and shook his head.
This old man’s intelligence was questionable!
At this point, kneeling and begging for mercy might have spared his life. Zhang Shi knew Ye Xuan’s character—Ye Xuan was soft-hearted but not to those who provoked him. If you showed the right attitude and didn’t deliberately anger him, Ye Xuan was an incredibly easy person to get along with.
To his own people, Ye Xuan was truly generous.
In the distance, Ye Xuan’s palm opened, and the Qingxuan Sword returned to his hand. He looked down at the Punishment Division. At that moment, a middle-aged man appeared before him, dressed in a black robe, his expression cold, holding a long spear.
At the same time, countless powerful auras emerged around them, all locking onto Ye Xuan.
Seeing this, Zhang Shi sighed softly in the distance, feeling a sense of imbalance!
How did these brainless fools reach such heights?
Couldn’t they see the situation?
This Young Master was incredibly formidable!
So prodigious, so terrifying, he was surely groomed by the Sword Master himself!
Yet these people were still targeting Ye Xuan. Did they really want to kill him? But what then, after killing him?
In Zhang Shi’s view, surrendering now was the sensible choice!
The middle-aged man looked at Ye Xuan, expressionless, about to speak, when Ye Xuan suddenly raised his hand and struck with a sword!
The man’s eyes narrowed, his right hand trembling as his spear thrust forward.
Rip!
The space in front of the man tore apart, the spear striking Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword with the force of thunder.
Boom!
As the spear and sword clashed, the man’s pupils shrank. He found his spear cracking, and the next moment, a sword light reached his brow. Yet, at that moment, the man’s expression was eerily calm!
Rip!
Ye Xuan’s sword pierced through, but it struck nothing, as the man had vanished from his spot.
Ye Xuan spun around, slashing downward with his sword!
Boom!
A terrifying force erupted, and a shadow was flung back tens of thousands of feet—it was the middle-aged man.
As the man stopped, his face changed drastically, for a blood-red sword light slashed straight down from above.
The man roared, “Attack!”
Attack!
As his voice fell, a dozen terrifying auras charged towards Ye Xuan.
At that moment, Zhang Shi in the distance roared fiercely, “Kill!”
With that, he and Su Ming and the others rushed forward!
As Ye Xuan’s sword descended, the middle-aged man was sent flying tens of thousands of feet, his body shattering and disintegrating, leaving only his soul!
At that moment, Ye Xuan slashed again!
Seeing this strike, the man’s pupils shrank to pinpoints. At this moment, he gave up resisting, knowing that with only his soul remaining, he couldn’t block Ye Xuan’s terrifying sword!
Rip!
Without surprise, Ye Xuan’s sword pierced through the man’s brow, pinning his soul in place.
Ye Xuan appeared before the man, about to act, when a terrifying aura suddenly surged from the Punishment Division below, its overwhelming pressure sweeping towards Ye Xuan. In that instant, the entire starry sky boiled, and countless dimensions collapsed!
Seeing this, Zhang Shi roared, “Young Master, be careful!”
Ye Xuan turned, his palm opening. In an instant, countless strands of Human Sword Intent surged out, blocking the terrifying aura.
At that moment, the middle-aged man beside Ye Xuan trembled, “Master, save me! I…”
Ye Xuan suddenly swung his sword backhand.
The man’s soul was erased.
Middle-aged man: “…”
Ye Xuan looked at the man in the distance and grinned, his smile ferocious, “Come on, you can summon your ancestors now!”
Everyone: “…”
