As Ye Xuan charged into the Tianfu, screams echoed incessantly throughout the stronghold!
The Tianfu’s powerhouses hadn’t expected a sudden ambush from a human, most were caught off guard, by the time some reacted, their heads were already soaring, Ye Xuan’s sword was simply too swift!
However, the Tianfu powerhouses responded quickly, they swiftly rallied all their remaining forces, not only that, they began summoning their ancestors.
Boom!
A beam of white light shot skyward from within the Tianfu, the next moment, a terrifying aura swept down from the heavens, the entire sky boiled!
By then, Ye Xuan had already slipped away!
He’d killed the Tianfu Lord Mutian, plus two Thirteenth-Stage powerhouses, next, he wouldn’t need to act, the Spirit Tribe and Nether Spirit Tribe would devour the Tianfu!
The Spirit Tribe and Nether Spirit Tribe wouldn’t miss this chance!
As Ye Xuan left, the Tianfu powerhouses who’d just summoned their ancestor were left dumbfounded!
What was this mess?
At that moment, a woman emerged from the white light above the Tianfu.
She resembled a human by ninety percent, the only difference being a horn on her head.
This was Meili, the Tianfu’s first Lord!
Meili glanced at the distant horizon, opened her palm, then clenched it lightly, instantly, the surrounding space trembled, gradually, a wisp of consciousness drifted into her hand.
It was Mutian’s consciousness!
The wisp in Meili’s hand quivered, as if recounting something, after a moment, it vanished completely.
Meili stood silent for a while, then turned to her right, the next moment, she vanished from the spot.
…
At the edge of the endless starry expanse, after confirming no one pursued him, Ye Xuan stopped, as he did, he turned sharply, not far off stood a horned woman!
It was Meili!
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, “From the Tianfu?”
Meili shook her head, “No!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Then who are you?”
Meili looked at Ye Xuan, “Just passing by!”
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, “Do you have business with me?”
Meili’s gaze fell on the Qingxuan Sword in Ye Xuan’s hand, then she said, “The Beast Spirit Tribe has sent Fourteenth-Stage powerhouses here, did you know?”
Fourteenth-Stage powerhouses!
Ye Xuan stared at Meili, “You’re from the Tianfu! If I’m not mistaken, you’re the ancestor they just summoned!”
Meili twirled a strand of hair between two fingers, smiling, “What a clever human!”
Ye Xuan’s left hand slowly tightened around the Qingxuan Sword, just then, Meili suddenly said, “Relax, I’m not interested in you!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “What do you mean?”
Meili glanced at the Qingxuan Sword, “I’m interested in that sword!”
Ye Xuan erupted in anger, “I’m worth less than a sword?”
Meili blinked, “Without that sword, could you have beaten Mutian?”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Without the Qingxuan Sword, he might not have defeated Mutian, his victory relied entirely on the sword’s immunity to space-time pressure!
Meili was about to say more, but Ye Xuan suddenly smiled, “May I ask, what stage was Mutian? And what stage am I?”
Meili went quiet.
Ye Xuan pressed, “Miss, if you’re interested in my sword, you first need to clarify one thing, whether I’m interested in you, got it?”
Meili looked at Ye Xuan, smiling, “Are you interested in me?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “I, Ye Xuan, am not swayed by feminine charms!”
Meili’s eyes narrowed, “Human, you should learn respect!”
Ye Xuan laughed, “You disrespected me first!”
With that, he turned to leave.
Meili suddenly said, “The Beast Spirit Tribe…”
Ye Xuan cut in with a laugh, “Do you think I fear the Beast Spirit Tribe?”
Meili watched Ye Xuan, saying nothing.
She didn’t attack directly for two reasons, first, Ye Xuan’s sword, second, his identity!
Ye Xuan added, “Miss, how about a deal, interested?”
Meili smiled, “What kind of deal?”
Ye Xuan asked, “If I may, what’s your current strength?”
Meili’s lips curled, “Killing Fourteenth-Stage powerhouses should be effortless!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “How big a gap is there between me and a Fourteenth-Stage powerhouse now?”
Meili replied, “Without that sword, a Thirteenth-Stage powerhouse could easily kill you instantly, with it… I can’t say for sure!”
Ye Xuan looked at Meili, “Want to test it?”
Meili nodded, “Sure!”
As her voice fell, she vanished from her spot.
Ye Xuan’s pupils shrank, he was about to unleash his Invincible Sword Domain—
Bang!
A muffled sound rang out, Ye Xuan was flung back ten thousand metres!
As he stopped, two fingers pressed against his forehead.
Meili looked at Ye Xuan, after a moment, she withdrew her fingers, smiling, “This gap seems a bit wide!”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Why are you so fast?”
Meili answered, “Space-time folding!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Space-time folding?”
Meili nodded, “At our level, we can fold space-time!”
With that, she stepped back a thousand metres, waved her right hand lightly, instantly, the space between her and Ye Xuan folded, and she appeared before him.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s expression grew serious.
Meili said, “Space-time folding, in a way, is the fastest speed known!”
Ye Xuan fell silent, his mind racing, if his flying sword could travel like this…
Meili smiled, “You seem interested now!”
Ye Xuan looked at Meili, “How about a deal, interested?”
Meili nodded, “Tell me!”
Ye Xuan said, “My sword’s yours to study, in exchange, you follow me for three months, during that time, you protect me, and you teach me!”
Meili chuckled, “Why should I?”
Ye Xuan countered, “What layer can your true body enter?”
Meili replied, “The Sixth!”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, the Qingxuan Sword shot into the Seventh Layer.
Seeing this, Meili’s smile faded, after a moment, she looked at Ye Xuan, “Is the Seventh Layer your sword’s limit?”
Ye Xuan grinned, “Guess!”
Meili gave the Qingxuan Sword a deep look, “This deal you propose, it’s on!”
With that, she opened her palm, reaching for the sword.
Ye Xuan, however, put it away, “Teach me space-time folding first!”
Meili looked at Ye Xuan, silent.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Any problem?”
Meili smiled faintly, “No problem!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “What’s your name, miss?”
Meili said, “Meili!”
Ye Xuan said, “Miss Meili, let’s go into the small tower to study slowly.”
With that, he brought Meili into the small tower, upon entering, Meili’s face grew serious, “The space-time in this tower…”
She paused, looking at Ye Xuan, “Ten years here is one day outside!”
Ye Xuan glanced at Meili, inwardly shocked, she’d seen through it in an instant!
Meili gave Ye Xuan a deep look, “Young Master Ye, you’re no simple man! Did you know, this realm exists independently of the outside space-time, not only that, its creator reversed the tower’s space-time in a remarkable way, but what’s most terrifying is they tied this realm to the outside…”
She fell silent for a long while, then added, “The space-time principles here exceed my understanding, I can’t fully explain it!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “It’s just a small thing, no need to make a fuss!”
Meili frowned, “A small thing? Young Master Ye, do you realise what this means? Even the Phantom Tribe, at Level 6 civilisation, likely couldn’t achieve this!”
Phantom Tribe!
Ye Xuan blinked, “You know the Phantom Tribe?”
Meili looked at Ye Xuan, “You know them too?”
Ye Xuan said earnestly, “Of course!”
Meili stared at Ye Xuan, “What’s your connection to the Phantom Tribe?”
Ye Xuan blinked, then said, “This… do you really want to know?”
Meili nodded, “I’m curious!”
Ye Xuan laughed, “To be honest, the Phantom Tribe is a vassal of my Yang family!”
When boasting, go big—tax-free anyway!
Hearing this, Meili’s lips twitched, “Young Master Ye, are you sure?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Absolutely certain!”
Meili fell silent, “Do you know how terrifying the Phantom Tribe is?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Are they that terrifying?”
Meili smiled faintly, “From what I know, the Phantom Tribe has 136 vassal factions, the weakest being Level 5 civilisations, they also control 19 super universes, their influence is unimaginable, they’re called the foremost clan of the myriad universes, and you say they’re your Yang family’s vassal?”
Ye Xuan felt a bit sheepish, damn, had he overblown it?
But now, he was in too deep to back out, he had to keep going!
Ye Xuan laughed heartily, “Miss Meili, do you know how powerful my Yang family is?”
Meili looked at Ye Xuan, “Yang family? Frankly, I’ve never heard of it!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened, his father was too low-key!
Meili smiled, “Young Master Ye, care to tell me about this Yang clan?”
Ye Xuan grinned, “I’m the Young Clan Leader of the Yang clan, oh, no, my dad’s the Clan Leader, I’m the heir, do you know my father? A man who loves wearing a green robe!”
Meili shook her head, “Never heard of him!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Miss Meili, your level’s too low!”
Meili: “…”
Ye Xuan added, “Anyway, as long as I don’t die, my Yang clan is invincible, no, as long as my dad doesn’t die, we’re invincible, if you doubt it, feel free to challenge him anytime!”
The green-robed man: “…”
The small tower suddenly said, “Little Master, you’re amazing! Boast big, let the master carry the load…”
…
