Hearing the words of the Jun Emperor, Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled, a warm current flowing through his heart.
Qing’er!
He knew very well that the Jun Emperor’s actions were not because of him, Ye Xuan. After all, he wasn’t important enough to merit such attention! The reason was Qing’er!
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
Am I really just a second-generation heir?
At that moment, the space around them suddenly cracked open, and powerful auras surged forth!
Soon, dozens of mysterious experts appeared, blocking the powerful beings from the Shénrén Clan.
Seeing this, Yànzhū’s face in the starry sky instantly darkened.
So many powerful beings are helping Ye Xuan!
Yànzhū glared at the Jun Emperor in front of Ye Xuan. “Jun Emperor, as far as I know, you have ties with one of my Shénrén Clan’s elders. Why are you doing this?”
The Jun Emperor smiled, “Justice is in the heart of the people. What you Shénrén Clan are doing is monstrous. Any being with a sense of justice will not ignore it. You…”
Yànzhū exploded in fury, “What nonsense! Jun Emperor, back then, you slaughtered a million lives for your own selfish reasons, and now you speak of justice? What happened to your dignity?”
The Jun Emperor’s smile gradually turned cold. “I’ll say this only once—this young master is my elder brother. If you Shénrén Clan want to harm him, you’ll have to step over my dead body!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Yànzhū’s face trembled in anger. “Jun Emperor, you’re a ninth-level expert! How could you take a human as your elder brother? Aren’t you afraid the entire universe will laugh at you?”
The Jun Emperor chuckled, “Let them laugh! If they think I’m a fool, let them! I don’t care!”
Yànzhū glared fiercely at the Jun Emperor. “Is it because of that woman in the plain skirt?”
The Jun Emperor laughed heartily, about to respond, but then suddenly his expression changed, and his brow furrowed. “You’re stalling for time!”
As his words fell, the starry sky behind Yànzhū trembled, and countless Shénrén Clan experts charged out!
This was a full-scale assault!
Among them, there were four ninth-level experts, and even the Clan Leader, Mó Yán, was present!
Seeing this, the Jun Emperor’s face sank!
He hadn’t expected Yànzhū to go this far; it was as though the entire Shénrén Clan was putting all their strength into this!
Yànzhū stared at the Jun Emperor. “What exactly did that woman in the plain skirt give you to make you go so far for a mere human and turn against my Shénrén Clan?”
At that moment, a voice echoed from the distance. “Don’t ask about the reason. If you are enemies with my Shénrén Clan, then you must die!”
It was the voice of Mó Wúxiān.
Yànzhū wanted to say something, but Mó Yán suddenly spoke. “Kill!”
With his command, the Shénrén Clan experts charged toward Ye Xuan and the others.
Beside Ye Xuan, the Jun Emperor said in a low voice, “Be careful, Young Master Ye!”
He stepped forward, and a massive force erupted from his body, like a volcanic eruption, as he blocked two of the Shénrén Clan’s ninth-level experts!
At that moment, Mó Yán charged toward Ye Xuan, but before he could act, an old man appeared in front of him!
It was the Elder of the Jing Clan, Jīng Yuè!
Jīng Yuè looked at Mó Yán, and in the next moment, the space around Mó Yán seemed to distort as numerous strange green symbols appeared.
Mó Yán squinted his eyes. “The Path of Jing Symbols! So, the Jing Clan is really willing to turn against my Shénrén Clan for the sake of a human?”
Jīng Yuè nodded. “Yes!”
Mó Yán was puzzled. “Why?”
Jīng Yuè was silent for a moment, then spoke, “Our intelligence is on a different level; I can’t explain it.”
Mó Yán’s fury skyrocketed. “Dare to insult me!”
With a roar, he threw a punch!
Boom!
The starry sky around Jīng Yuè turned into a vortex, but quickly returned to normal!
At the same time, the strange green symbols formed a time-space cage around Mó Yán, trapping him!
Mó Yán’s expression grew serious!
At the same time, Elder Yànzhū charged toward Ye Xuan, but just as he reached him, another ninth-level expert from the Jing Clan blocked his path!
Seeing this, Yànzhū’s expression darkened!
The Jing Clan was putting everything into helping Ye Xuan!
Why?
It must be because of the woman in the plain skirt!
What kind of deal did she strike to have the entire Jing Clan take such a risk for Ye Xuan?
In his mind, he thought it was time to pause and figure out the answer to that question, but now, the situation was beyond his control!
As Yànzhū was blocked, Ye Xuan scanned his surroundings and realized that there were no more ninth-level experts from the Shénrén Clan.
Ye Xuan suddenly disappeared from his original spot.
Swoosh!
Far in the distance, the head of a Shénrén Clan general flew off in an instant.
Instant kill!
Anyone below the ninth level couldn’t even block a single strike from Ye Xuan!
After killing a general, Ye Xuan didn’t stop. He swung his sword again.
Soon, heads from Shénrén Clan experts flew one after another.
It was like slaughtering chickens!
Upon seeing this, Yànzhū’s face turned pale. He hurriedly shouted, “Stop Ye Xuan!”
But at this moment, no one from the Shénrén Clan could stop him!
Just then, a deafening explosion rang out from the starry sky, and an old man was forced to retreat continuously!
It was the City Lord of the Desolate City, who had been fighting with Mó Wúxiān!
After pushing back the City Lord, Mó Wúxiān suddenly looked at Ye Xuan below and pointed a finger!
Below, Ye Xuan suddenly looked up and drew his sword with a powerful slash!
The sword came down with a fatal force!
Boom!
With the sword light shattering, Ye Xuan plunged into the Fourth Space-Time Abyss!
Mó Wúxiān was about to strike again, but the City Lord of the Desolate City suddenly appeared before him. Mó Wúxiān squinted. “You’re seeking death!”
With a single punch, he struck!
The City Lord of the Desolate City retaliated with a punch as well!
Both punches clashed!
In that instant, the time-space around them disintegrated!
The City Lord of the Desolate City retreated!
Mó Wúxiān glared at him, “You want your Jing Clan to be annihilated?”
The City Lord smiled. “We’ll keep Young Master Ye safe.”
Mó Wúxiān stared at him. “I’m not dead yet!”
The City Lord fell silent.
It was true—Mó Wúxiān hadn’t died yet!
Mó Wúxiān spoke again, “I’ll give you one last chance. If you leave now with your Jing Clan’s experts, I’ll let you go for the sake of your ancestors. If you insist on helping this human, I guarantee your Jing Clan will be wiped out by my Shénrén Clan!”
The City Lord laughed. “We’ll keep Young Master Ye safe.”
Mó Wúxiān stared at him for a while, then shook his head. “Your actions are beyond my understanding!”
The City Lord laughed heartily, “No need to understand. Mó Wúxiān, if you have the ability, then come and destroy my Jing Clan today! If not, my Jing Clan will live or die with Young Master Ye today!”
Mó Wúxiān nodded. “I’ll make it happen for you!”
As his voice fell, his body began to fade!
Seeing this, the City Lord frowned. Was he about to disappear? Then, in an instant, his eyes widened—he realized that Mó Wúxiān was about to bring his true body here!
Meanwhile, Yànzhū and the others also realized this, and Yànzhū felt a wave of relief.
Now, only Mó Wúxiān’s true body could solve everything!
The four ninth-level experts from the Shénrén Clan paused.
They were all ninth-level experts, and no one could kill anyone in such a short time!
Now, all they needed to do was wait for their ancestor’s true body to arrive, and everything would be over!
The City Lord of the Desolate City’s face grew darker.
He hadn’t expected things to escalate to this point—The Shénrén Clan hadn’t just called for their ancestor, Mó Wúxiān was even about to bring his true body!
They must wipe out Ye Xuan!
The Jun Emperor approached the City Lord of the Desolate City and asked in a low voice, “How long will it take for him to arrive?”
The City Lord shook his head. “I don’t know! But it shouldn’t be long!”
The Jun Emperor asked, “What should we do?”
The City Lord shook his head again. “I don’t know!”
The Shénrén Clan’s ancestor could already suppress him with just a fragment of his soul. If his true body arrived, he wouldn’t be able to fight back. The true body was probably already a tenth-level expert!
Thinking of this, the City Lord’s face grew more solemn!
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly spoke, “Two seniors!”
The City Lord and the Jun Emperor turned to look at Ye Xuan. He cupped his hands and said, “I will always remember the help you have given me!”
The Jun Emperor smiled. “It’s nothing.”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “It’s a matter of life and death for me! Seniors, you should leave! I’ll handle things with the Shénrén Clan myself!”
He didn’t take their help for granted!
The City Lord hesitated for a moment, then said, “Young friend, if Mó Wúxiān’s true body arrives, we truly can’t stop him. Can you contact that woman in the plain skirt?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “I can’t!”
Upon hearing this, the City Lord sighed in his heart.
At this moment, the Jun Emperor suddenly spoke. “She won’t ignore it!”
The City Lord fell silent.
At this point, he was struggling.
Should he gamble bigger?
Now, Ye Xuan owed him a favor, but if he left with the Jing Clan, the favor wouldn’t be a big one. The future benefits would definitely be limited!
If he stayed and continued to face Mó Wúxiān with Ye Xuan, the favor would be much greater!
Of course, the risk was also high!
What if the woman in the plain skirt didn’t show up? They would all die!
And even if she did appear, what if she wasn’t able to defeat Mó Wúxiān? They’d all be doomed!
Should he bet or not?
The City Lord was torn!
At that moment, the Jun Emperor suddenly smiled. “I’ll stay!”
The City Lord turned to look at him. The Jun Emperor fell silent for a moment, then asked, “Old man, what was it like when you faced Mó Wúxiān?”
The City Lord answered, “Powerful!”
The Jun Emperor asked again, “Then what about when you faced that woman in the plain skirt?”
The City Lord’s expression changed slightly.
Fear!
When facing that woman, he had felt fear!
Thinking of this, the City Lord suddenly laughed, “My Jing Clan has lived for 1.8 million years. If I can’t make progress, what’s the point of living another million years?”
He looked at Ye Xuan and laughed. “Young friend Ye, today my Jing Clan will live or die with you! If we survive, please speak a few good words for me with that woman in the plain skirt, and my Jing Clan will be forever grateful. If we die… everything ends, hahahaha!”
He had made the bet!
Not only his life, but the lives of his entire clan!
