Seeing this scene, the expressions of many hidden experts in the shadows changed instantly!
Who exactly is this guy?
How dare he disrespect the Divine Dao Nation and Spirit Mountain? Does he have a death wish?
At this moment, Dao Ling was also stunned. This guy had directly obliterated her master’s projection?
More importantly, he had the audacity to disregard the Divine Dao Nation and Spirit Mountain!
This was the first time she had encountered someone who didn’t give her face!
Dao Ling stared at Ye Xuan with a gaze as sharp as a sword, as if trying to pierce through him, “Do you know what you’re doing!”
Ye Xuan didn’t waste any words. He suddenly appeared in front of Dao Ling and slashed out with his sword.
Whoosh!
A sword light flashed by, and Dao Ling’s soul was completely erased!
Utterly erased, with no chance of reincarnation!
Seeing this, the hidden experts in the shadows all gasped in shock!
He really killed her! And he did it so ruthlessly, completely erasing her, leaving no chance for reincarnation!
This was a direct slap in the face of the Divine Dao Nation and Spirit Mountain!
Who exactly is this young man?
On the other side, Commander Chen’s face was pale, and his entire body was trembling!
Princess Dao Ling had been killed just like that?
After killing Dao Ling, Ye Xuan turned and left.
At this moment, the small tower suddenly spoke, “Young master, why couldn’t you hold back? With this kill, you’ve brought endless trouble upon yourself!”
Ye Xuan said indifferently, “I’m not a turtle. Why should I hold back?”
The small tower sighed softly, “Then from now on, you’ll have two more super enemies: the Divine Dao Nation and Spirit Mountain!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “What can I do? You saw it yourself! I, Ye Xuan, didn’t bully anyone. She was the one who bullied me first!”
The small tower fell silent.
Ye Xuan continued, “Yes, if I had bowed and shown respect at that time, maybe there wouldn’t have been all this trouble! But little tower, why should I bow and show respect to her? Just because she’s some princess of the Divine Dao Nation? A Holy Maiden of Spirit Mountain? I don’t care about all that. I only know one thing: if others don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke them. But if they do, I will definitely retaliate!”
The small tower said, “I understand your point, young master, and I know you have backbone. But how do you plan to deal with Spirit Mountain and the Divine Dao Nation now?”
Ye Xuan shrugged, “If I can fight, I’ll fight. If I can’t, I’ll run. What else can I do?”
The small tower asked, “Then why aren’t you running now?”
Ye Xuan’s expression changed slightly, “Are they here?”
The small tower retorted, “Can’t you sense it?”
Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched, “I can’t sense a damn thing!”
With that, he immediately flew away on his sword, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Not long after Ye Xuan disappeared, a beautiful woman suddenly appeared on the scene. She glanced at the ground below, her expression grim.
She was Dao Ling’s master and also the Grand Elder of Spirit Mountain, Lan Ling!
After a moment, Lan Ling turned and left, “Pass down my order: spare no effort to find this person!”
…
**Divine Dao Nation.**
The Divine Dao Nation was located in the Divine Dao Star Domain. Once, the Divine Dao Star Domain was in chaos, with tens of thousands of large and small forces. However, in the end, a Divine Emperor emerged from the Divine Dao Star Domain. In just a hundred years, he unified the entire Divine Dao Star Domain and established an unprecedented superpower: the Divine Dao Nation!
In the Divine Dao Nation’s imperial palace, within a grand hall, a woman walked slowly, holding a thick ancient book in her hand.
The woman was reading very seriously, occasionally curling her lips into a charming smile.
The woman wore a wide, white dress with a purple divine phoenix embroidered on the hem. The phoenix’s eyes were sharp, overlooking the world!
This woman was the current ruler of the Divine Dao Nation, Divine Dao Ling!
Known as the most powerful woman in all the realms!
At this moment, an old man walked to the entrance of the hall. Seeing Divine Dao Ling reading, the old man hesitated, his right foot hovering in the air. After a moment of hesitation, he finally stepped into the hall.
At that moment, Divine Dao Ling, who was in the distance, put down the ancient book in her hand and turned to look at the old man, smiling, “What major event has occurred?”
The old man bowed slightly, “Your Majesty, Princess Dao Ling has fallen!”
Divine Dao Ling!
Divine Dao Ling walked slowly to the entrance of the hall, her expression calm, “Who killed her?”
The old man replied, “A young man of unknown origin!”
Divine Dao Ling smiled, “Unknown origin?”
The old man nodded, “Unknown origin. We only know that he is a swordsman! Moreover, his cultivation is only at the Boundless Realm!”
Divine Dao Ling blinked, “A Boundless Realm cultivator killed Ling’er, who had already reached the Fate Body Realm?”
The old man nodded.
Divine Dao Ling chuckled softly, “Interesting!”
The old man bowed slightly, “Your Majesty, I have already dispatched the Imperial Spirit Guards to capture this person. Does Your Majesty want him alive or dead?”
Divine Dao Ling smiled lightly, “Lord Mu Zuo, a Boundless Realm youth who can kill a Fate Body Realm cultivator, and who knew Ling’er’s identity yet still dared to kill her—do you think he is an ordinary person?”
Mu Zuo’s expression was calm, “No matter his origin, since he dared to kill Princess Dao Ling, he is showing contempt for our Divine Dao Nation! He deserves to have ten generations of his family exterminated!”
Divine Dao Ling smiled, “Spirit Mountain is already pursuing this person?”
Mu Zuo nodded.
Divine Dao Ling said, “Then let’s wait for now. Let’s see how Spirit Mountain performs!”
Mu Zuo glanced at Divine Dao Ling and nodded, “This subordinate understands!”
After saying this, he paused for a moment, then added, “Your Majesty, the Patriarch of the Xiao Clan from Dao Mountain requests an audience. He says he has a divine artifact to present to Your Majesty!”
Divine Dao Ling frowned slightly, “Dao Mountain?”
Mu Zuo nodded, “A very remote star domain. Since it holds no value, it is not within the territory of our Divine Dao Nation.”
Divine Dao Ling asked, “He said he has a divine artifact to give me?”
Mu Zuo nodded, “Moreover, he wishes to present it to Your Majesty in person!”
Divine Dao Ling smiled, “Interesting, let him come see me!”
Mu Zuo nodded, then retreated. Not long after, Xiao Tian and Lin Xiao arrived in front of the hall. Just as they were about to look up at Divine Dao Ling, an invisible pressure enveloped them. Their expressions changed drastically, and they quickly lowered their heads. At the same time, they were filled with terror!
They were both at the Soul Realm!
Yet this woman before them could suppress them with just her aura!
How terrifying was she?
Divine Dao Ling sat down to the side and smiled, “You wish to present me with a divine artifact?”
Xiao Tian quickly replied, “Indeed!”
As he spoke, he opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword floated to Divine Dao Ling. The moment she saw the Qingxuan Sword, the smile on Divine Dao Ling’s face instantly vanished, replaced by a look of seriousness.
At this moment, Xiao Tian quickly added, “Your Majesty, this item was obtained by us by chance. The knowledge of time and space contained within this sword far exceeds our understanding. Therefore, we specially present it to Your Majesty!”
Divine Dao Ling held the Qingxuan Sword and examined it for a while. Then she looked at Xiao Tian, “Where did you obtain this sword?”
Xiao Tian hesitated for a moment, then was about to speak when Divine Dao Ling said, “I will only give you one chance to speak. Think carefully!”
Xiao Tian’s heart skipped a beat, and he dared not play any tricks. He immediately said, “We obtained it from a young man!”
Divine Dao Ling frowned slightly, “A young man?”
Xiao Tian quickly nodded, “Indeed!”
Divine Dao Ling said, “Tell me about this young man.”
Xiao Tian didn’t understand her intention but didn’t dare to refuse. He quickly recounted everything about Ye Xuan.
Meanwhile, Mu Zuo, who was standing to the side, frowned.
Divine Dao Ling looked at Mu Zuo, who nodded, “It should be that young man!”
Divine Dao Ling chuckled softly, “Interesting!”
With that, she glanced at Xiao Tian and Lin Xiao, “I quite like this sword. What reward do you two desire?”
Hearing this, the two were overjoyed. Xiao Tian quickly said, “As long as Your Majesty is pleased, any reward is fine!”
Divine Dao Ling looked at Mu Zuo, “Take them down and treat them well!”
Mu Zuo glanced at Divine Dao Ling and nodded slightly, “Understood!”
With that, he looked at Xiao Tian and Lin Xiao, “Please follow me!”
Xiao Tian and Lin Xiao quickly bowed respectfully to Divine Dao Ling, then turned and followed Mu Zuo away!
Inside the hall, Divine Dao Ling looked at the Qingxuan Sword in her hand and fell into silence.
The Qingxuan Sword!
Not long after, Mu Zuo reappeared in the hall. Mu Zuo said gravely, “Your Majesty, this sword…”
Divine Dao Ling handed the Qingxuan Sword to Mu Zuo, “Take a look!”
Mu Zuo glanced at the Qingxuan Sword before him. After a moment, his expression became solemn, “This sword…”
Divine Dao Ling said, “Summon the Divine Craftsman Hall’s Master, Mu Qiao!”
Mu Zuo immediately turned and left. Shortly after, he returned with a white-haired old man. This man was the Master of the Divine Craftsman Hall, one of the nine halls of the Divine Dao Nation, responsible for crafting divine weapons and artifacts for the entire nation.
Mu Qiao bowed respectfully to Divine Dao Ling, “Your Majesty!”
Divine Dao Ling flicked her finger, and the Qingxuan Sword landed in front of Mu Qiao, “Examine this sword!”
Mu Qiao picked up the Qingxuan Sword and examined it. After a moment, his expression became grave, “This sword… May I ask, Your Majesty, where did you obtain this sword?”
Divine Dao Ling countered, “Can you forge a sword like this?”
Mu Qiao glanced at the Qingxuan Sword, hesitated for a moment, then said, “This… Compared to the person who forged this sword, I might be just a bit lacking! Just a bit!”
Divine Dao Ling said indifferently, “So you can’t.”
Mu Qiao quickly added, “If Your Majesty is willing to let me study this sword for half a year, I will definitely be able to forge a divine artifact that surpasses this sword!”
Divine Dao Ling shook her head, “You can’t do it.”
Mu Qiao was puzzled, “Why?”
Divine Dao Ling looked at the Qingxuan Sword in her hand and said softly, “The knowledge of time and space contained within this sword is something even I find somewhat unfamiliar.”
Mu Qiao quickly said, “Your Majesty, if you give me one month to study this sword, just one month, I will definitely be able to forge a divine artifact that surpasses this…”
Divine Dao Ling suddenly said, “If you can’t, will you resign and retire? Is that acceptable?”
Mu Qiao’s expression froze. After a moment, he bowed slightly, “Your Majesty, this old man has other matters to attend to. I shall take my leave!”
With that, he turned and left.
Divine Dao Ling shook her head. She looked at Mu Zuo, “Investigate this person’s background!”
Mu Zuo nodded, then turned and left.
Inside the hall, Divine Dao Ling looked at the Qingxuan Sword in her hand. After a moment, she smiled softly, “I know you have a spirit. I won’t ask about other things, but I have one question: what level of sword are you?”
Xiao Hun (the sword spirit) fell silent for a moment, then said, “I have no level. Below the Three Swords, I am invincible!”
