Upon hearing the small tower’s words, Ye Xuan’s face instantly darkened.
Damn it, that really could happen!
At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out behind Ye Xuan, “Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan turned to look and saw a middle-aged man stepping out from a tear in the space several hundred feet away.
It was Yao Jun from the Time-Space Temple!
Seeing Yao Jun, Ye Xuan was slightly surprised, “Old Yao!”
Yao Jun glanced around and then said gravely, “Young Master Ye, all the experts from the Time-Space Temple are searching for you. You’d better leave quickly!”
Ye Xuan looked at Yao Jun and smiled, “Why are you helping me?”
Yao Jun forced a bitter smile, “Young Master Ye, let’s not dwell on that! In less than half a quarter-hour, the Time-Space Temple will find you. When that happens, they…”
Before he could finish, Yao Jun’s expression changed drastically, “They’re here! They’re here! Young Master Ye, take care!”
With that, he turned and disappeared.
As soon as Yao Jun left, the space several hundred feet to Ye Xuan’s right suddenly tore open, and a middle-aged man stepped out.
It was none other than Si Qian, the Temple Master of the Time-Space Temple!
Seeing Ye Xuan, Si Qian’s eyes immediately flashed with killing intent, “Ye Xuan! We’ve been searching for you for so long!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Temple Master Si Qian, how’s my sword treating you?”
Hearing this, Si Qian’s face twisted with rage, “Ye Xuan! You dare trick me! You’re dead!”
As he spoke, he was about to attack, but at that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly hurled the small tower at him.
Strike first to gain the upper hand!
Seeing the small tower flying toward him, Si Qian’s expression changed drastically. He didn’t defend but instead took a step forward and threw a punch with all his might!
He didn’t dare underestimate Ye Xuan, and he sensed danger!
As his punch landed, the entire starry sky boiled and then disintegrated!
But as Ye Xuan’s small tower struck—
Boom!
The space around Si Qian shattered instantly, and he was sent flying tens of thousands of feet away. The moment he stopped, only his soul remained, and even that was fading at a visible rate!
Si Qian was completely stunned!
In the distance, Ye Xuan’s face was also pale. The toll of using the small tower was simply too great!
He could only use the small tower once in a short period!
At that moment, Si Qian, who was far away, suddenly trembled and asked, “Why?”
Ye Xuan looked at Si Qian, “What do you mean, why?”
Si Qian screamed, “Why!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment and then said, “Because I have a backer!”
Si Qian’s expression froze, and his soul completely dissipated, utterly annihilated!
At that moment, countless experts from the Time-Space Temple appeared on the scene. When they saw Si Qian’s demise, their expressions turned extremely grim!
The Temple Master had been killed by Ye Xuan?
Ye Xuan glanced at the Time-Space Temple experts, “Are you all coming at me together?”
The experts from the Time-Space Temple exchanged glances, then turned and fled!
Even the Temple Master had been instantly killed!
How could they dare continue fighting Ye Xuan?
Ye Xuan didn’t chase after the fleeing experts. His current condition was very poor, and his top priority was to heal his injuries!
Ye Xuan entered the small tower, and half an hour later, his injuries were mostly healed.
After leaving the small tower, Ye Xuan sensed the Qingxuan Sword. Soon, his brows furrowed because the Qingxuan Sword was now quite far away!
Where was that guy from the Xiao Clan taking the Qingxuan Sword?
Ye Xuan frowned. After a moment, he immediately set off in pursuit.
…
Three days later, Ye Xuan, who had been flying on his sword through the starry sky, suddenly stopped. Several thousand feet ahead of him stood an incredibly majestic starry city.
As Ye Xuan approached, he saw three large characters above the city gate: **Thousand Ancient City**!
Upon entering the city, Ye Xuan was stunned.
The city was extremely bustling, with streets dozens of feet wide and towering buildings lining both sides. At a glance, the city was densely packed and slightly oppressive.
Walking on the streets were all sorts of beings, their auras powerful, with most of them being at the Fate Realm!
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Damn it!
Fate Realm experts were as common as dogs here!
At that moment, a carriage suddenly appeared at the end of the street. It wasn’t pulled by one horse but three. These horses were exceptionally tall, several times larger than ordinary horses, with black bodies covered in scales and hooves emitting crimson flames. Wherever they passed, the ground was left scorched, creating a dazzling trail of sparks.
In the carriage sat a woman dressed in silver armor, her long silver hair tied into a ponytail that fell down her back. In her hand, she held a crimson whip that crackled with thunder as she swung it.
At that moment, someone on the street exclaimed, “It’s Princess Dao Ling!”
As soon as the exclamation rang out, all the experts on both sides of the street immediately stopped and bowed.
Ye Xuan glanced at the experts around him, feeling somewhat shocked. Who was this princess? Could she be the princess of the Divine Dao Nation?
As Ye Xuan pondered, Princess Dao Ling’s carriage suddenly came to a halt, stopping not far from Ye Xuan. She looked down at him and asked, “Why aren’t you bowing?”
Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback, then replied, “I’m new here and unfamiliar with the city’s customs. Please don’t take offense, miss!”
Dao Ling stared at Ye Xuan for a moment, then suddenly said, “Disrespecting the royal family and insulting the royal dignity—execute him on the spot!”
As soon as she spoke, two mysterious experts suddenly appeared behind Ye Xuan, and two cold blades slashed toward the back of his neck.
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing in them. He opened his palm, and a sword light shot out.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The heads of the two mysterious experts flew off!
Everyone on the street was shocked!
This guy dared to attack the royal family?
Dao Ling examined Ye Xuan, “You’re a swordsman!”
Ye Xuan suddenly charged forward, slashing down with his sword.
Dao Ling’s eyes narrowed, and she swung her crimson whip.
Boom!
A burst of sword light and blood light erupted, and Dao Ling was sent flying hundreds of feet away!
Seeing this, the experts on both sides of the street turned pale and immediately fled!
Who was Dao Ling?
She was the favorite princess of the current Divine Dao Nation’s ruler and also the Holy Maiden of Spirit Mountain. Her status was incredibly noble!
And now, someone had dared to attack her?
In the distance, Dao Ling looked at Ye Xuan, “Do you know what you’re doing?”
Ye Xuan was about to speak when a group of cavalry suddenly charged out from the end of the street. There were over a hundred of them, each clad in thick black armor and exuding a powerful killing aura.
The leader of the cavalry quickly approached Dao Ling, kneeling on one knee, “This subordinate is guilty of arriving late to protect you. Please forgive me, Princess!”
Dao Ling said indifferently, “Commander Chen, it’s not you who should die—it’s someone else!”
Commander Chen stood up and looked at Ye Xuan. With a wave of his hand, the cavalry charged toward Ye Xuan. At that moment, Ye Xuan opened his palm, and a sword light shot out.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, the heads of all the cavalry flew off, and a hundred streams of blood spurted into the sky, creating an extremely gruesome scene!
Seeing this, Commander Chen’s face turned pale, and he quickly said, “Princess, you must leave first!”
Dao Ling’s eyes also showed a hint of gravity as she stared at Ye Xuan and asked again, “Do you know what you’re doing?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Are you going to say that you have a backer?”
Dao Ling looked at Ye Xuan, “You’re provoking the Divine Dao Nation and Spirit Mountain! And you will pay the most painful price for this!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled, “Isn’t it you who provoked me first?”
Dao Ling’s expression was cold, “Disrespecting the royal family warrants death!”
Ye Xuan sneered, “What a joke! I was born with pride in my bones. How could I bow to a woman like you?”
As he spoke, he suddenly charged forward and slashed down with his sword.
**Sword Draw to Decide Life and Death!**
The moment the sword slashed down, a powerful sword force instantly shattered the space before him. Dao Ling’s expression changed drastically, and she swung her crimson whip, sending a powerful blood lightning strike toward Ye Xuan.
A direct clash!
Boom!
A burst of blood light shattered, and Dao Ling’s whip was instantly destroyed. At the same time, she was sent flying out of the city. The moment she landed, a flying sword suddenly struck toward her.
Dao Ling’s pupils constricted. At this moment, she sensed the aura of death. But at the critical moment, a phantom suddenly appeared above her head, and Ye Xuan’s flying sword came to a halt.
Seeing this, Commander Chen, who was not far away, collapsed to the ground in fear. If Dao Ling died here, they would be in big trouble!
In the distance, Ye Xuan looked at the phantom above Dao Ling’s head. The phantom was blurry, and its true form couldn’t be seen. However, it wasn’t a real body—just a wisp of an image!
At that moment, Dao Ling bowed slightly, “Master!”
A powerhouse from Spirit Mountain!
The phantom looked at Ye Xuan, “At such a young age, you possess such profound swordsmanship. Who are you?”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “Just an outsider, new here.”
The phantom frowned, “New here?”
Ye Xuan pointed at Dao Ling not far away, “I’m new here and unfamiliar with the customs. Your disciple wanted to kill me just because I didn’t bow to her. Don’t you think that’s…”
The phantom suddenly said, “You didn’t bow to her, so she wanted to kill you. What’s wrong with that?”
Ye Xuan was stunned, then laughed, “Why should I bow to her?”
The phantom stared at Ye Xuan, “Don’t you know she’s the princess of the Divine Dao Nation and the Holy Maiden of Spirit Mountain?”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Just because of that, I should bow to her?”
The phantom looked at Ye Xuan for a moment, then said, “Why shouldn’t you bow to her?”
Ye Xuan’s eyes flashed with ferocity, “Princess of the Divine Dao Nation? Holy Maiden of Spirit Mountain? My father is invincible, my elder brother is invincible, and my sister is invincible. Have I ever boasted about it? Huh? Go to hell!”
As he spoke, he opened his palm, and the small tower appeared in his hand. In the next moment, he hurled it.
Boom!
The phantom was instantly obliterated by the small tower, and Dao Ling was struck by the residual force, her body shattered, leaving only her soul…
…
