In a small courtyard at the Women’s Academy, Ding Girl, who was quietly reading, suddenly looked up. Moments later, her brows furrowed.
At the distant horizon, a woman stepped through the air, followed by six black-robed figures.
The woman leading them was none other than Shen Qin!
At that moment, Ye Xuan appeared beside Ding Girl. Seeing Shen Qin, his expression darkened.
This woman came so fast!
The beastly girl, Xiong Ni, also appeared on the scene. She glanced at Shen Qin with a slight smile. “Shen Qin, you’ve arrived a bit too quickly!”
Shen Qin glanced at Xiong Ni, then fixed her gaze on Ye Xuan. “Young Master Ye, we meet again!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Miss Shen Qin, we’re not getting involved in whatever’s between you two!”
Shen Qin shook her head. “You’re the one who released her!”
Ye Xuan sighed helplessly. “It was unintentional!”
Shen Qin looked at him. “We’d like Young Master Ye to do us a favor!”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed.
Shen Qin asked, “Is Young Master Ye unwilling?”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Let me tell you, my Aunt Ding is here—don’t try threatening me!”
With that, he stepped behind Ding Girl.
His father might not care about him, but he’d definitely care about Aunt Ding!
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Ding Girl shook her head with a smile. This kid was just like a child!
Shen Qin turned to Ding Girl. “Madam, we’d like Young Master Ye to assist us. Is that alright?”
Ding Girl shook her head. “No, it’s not!”
Shen Qin’s eyes narrowed. “Then I won’t hold back!”
As she spoke, she opened her palm, about to act, when Ding Girl suddenly said, “Isn’t your target this Xiong Ni girl?”
Beside them, Xiong Ni laughed. “Her main target isn’t actually me—it’s Little Brother Ye! If she gets that mysterious spacetime, she can easily seal me! But if Little Brother Ye helps me, she’ll never seal me!”
Ye Xuan quickly said, “Then take her out!”
Xiong Ni rolled her eyes at him. “She’s got seven people, I’m just one—I can’t beat them! Unless you help me!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
At that moment, Shen Qin in the sky made her move, pressing down gently with her right hand.
Boom!
The space below boiled instantly!
Down below, Ding Girl smiled faintly. She opened her palm, and a streak of sword light shot skyward.
Boom!
Before anyone could react, Shen Qin was blasted tens of thousands of feet away. When she stopped, her physical body had completely vanished, leaving only a frail soul!
Everyone was stunned by the scene!
Even Xiong Ni’s expression shifted. She stared hard at Ding Girl, silent.
At that moment, Ding Girl opened her palm again, and the distant sword light returned to her hand, then vanished.
Ye Xuan glanced at Ding Girl. Just as he’d suspected, his father had indeed left her a life-saving trump card!
In the distance, Shen Qin stared at Ding Girl in disbelief. “You…”
Ding Girl smiled. “Leave the Women’s Academy. I’ll only say it once!”
Shen Qin glanced at Ding Girl, then retreated with her six companions.
Ye Xuan turned to Xiong Ni. “She’s badly hurt now—aren’t you going to finish her off?”
Xiong Ni rolled her eyes. “Didn’t you see she still has six people with her?”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “But she’s seriously injured! It’s the perfect chance to kill her!”
Xiong Ni blinked. “How about we team up?”
Ye Xuan pursed his lips and turned to leave.
Xiong Ni licked her candied hawthorn and looked at Ding Girl. “That sword light just now wasn’t yours!”
Ding Girl smiled. “Indeed, it wasn’t!”
Xiong Ni quickly asked, “Whose was it?”
Ding Girl laughed. “I won’t tell you!”
With that, she turned and left.
Xiong Ni stood there, silent.

Outside the Women’s Academy, Shen Qin and her six companions stopped. All seven wore grave expressions, especially Shen Qin!
She had nearly been obliterated by that sword light!
Whose sword light was it?
At that moment, an elder behind her frowned and turned. Not far off, a woman approached—Divine Path Ling!
Divine Path Ling looked at Shen Qin. “Who are you?”
Shen Qin frowned. “And who are you?”
Divine Path Ling smiled. “You’re asking who I am on my turf?”
Shen Qin said, “You’re the ruler of the Divine Path Kingdom!”
Divine Path Ling laughed. “That’s right!”
Shen Qin’s face remained expressionless. “This has nothing to do with your Divine Path Kingdom!”
Divine Path Ling smiled. “Understood!”
With that, she turned and left.
After Divine Path Ling departed, an elder beside Shen Qin said gravely, “That woman’s not simple. There were many powerful, mysterious auras around just now!”
Shen Qin’s expression stayed calm. “Her ancestor was quite a figure!”
The elder said solemnly, “Goddess, what do we do next? If that boy helps Xiong Ni, it’ll be extremely unfavorable for us!”
Shen Qin sighed and shook her head, saying nothing.
Moments later, she said, “We can’t let that boy help Xiong Ni. But now he’s hostile toward us. If I approach him, it’ll only backfire!”
The elder asked gravely, “What should we do then?”
Shen Qin was silent for a moment, then said, “That boy possesses a mysterious spacetime that can suppress various special spacetimes. If the Heavenly Dao Sect finds out, what do you think will happen?”
The elder hesitated, then said, “Goddess, do you mean to borrow a knife to kill?”
Shen Qin nodded. “Go handle it!”
The elder bowed slightly. “Understood!”
With that, he turned and left.
Shen Qin slowly closed her eyes. If she could start over, she’d take a softer approach. But now, with enmity established, a soft touch was useless!
—
Elsewhere, Divine Path Ling arrived at Ding Girl’s courtyard. Seeing Ding Girl, she smiled faintly. “Ding Girl, if you need the Divine Path Kingdom’s help, please don’t hesitate to ask!”
Ding Girl smiled. “Thank you!”
Divine Path Ling said gravely, “Those people have an unusual background!”
Ding Girl laughed. “No worries, Miss Ling. Don’t concern yourself with this—we’ll handle it ourselves!”
Divine Path Ling smiled. “Understood!”
With that, she stood and left.
After Divine Path Ling departed, Ding Girl fell silent. Moments later, she rose and left.

In a room, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged, the spacetime around him gradually warping.
The mysterious spacetime!
With the small tower’s aid, he could now merge with this spacetime. Now, he aimed to wield it using the Qingxuan Sword!
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared. With a gentle pull, the spacetime before him turned ethereal.
Ye Xuan grew excited!
It worked!
Through the Qingxuan Sword, he’d just managed to exert a sliver of spacetime pressure!
Looking at the sword, he sighed in awe. The Qingxuan Sword was incredible, as if no spacetime could resist it!
Without further thought, he pressed on!
In the days that followed, Ye Xuan trained relentlessly. For him, this was the perfect time to cultivate—with Aunt Ding protecting him!
In another courtyard, Xiong Ni sat cross-legged, her body wreathed in flames.
Healing!
About an hour later, she slowly opened her eyes, her injuries fully recovered!
At that moment, a shadowy figure appeared behind her and knelt. “Beast Lord! That goddess is gravely wounded—why don’t we finish her off?”
Xiong Ni glanced at the shadow. “Idiot! If we kill her, who’ll deal with Little Brother Ye?”
The shadow hesitated, then said, “Beast Lord, that boy’s weak as a chicken. Even I could easily kill him, let alone you! Why…”
“Shut up!”
Xiong Ni shot the shadow a cold glare. “You fool, can’t you see our Little Brother Ye has a backer?”
The shadow muttered, “Beast Lord, you’re invincible!”
Xiong Ni sighed and shook her head. “Get back and send Yu Xian here. With a pig teammate like you around, I’m scared!”
Shadow: “…”
After the shadow left, Xiong Ni closed her eyes slowly. She was honestly a bit troubled—she’d long wanted to act!
But she held back!
She couldn’t fathom that mysterious spacetime, and that uncertainty made her wary.
Her caution proved right—that mysterious sword light from Ding Girl earlier, she wasn’t sure she could withstand it.
Moments later, Xiong Ni rose and left.

A month later, Ye Xuan could now wield the spacetime pressure of the mysterious spacetime. Killing someone in the Soul Fate Realm was as easy as slaughtering a chicken. Fused with the mysterious spacetime, he could suppress all spacetimes—ninth, tenth, even eleventh layers!
Those spacetimes couldn’t withstand his mysterious spacetime!
He no longer knew what level his strength had reached!
One day, Ye Xuan sought out Xiong Ni. Seeing him approach her主动ly, she was surprised. “Little Brother Ye, what do you want with me?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “I’d like to spar with you!”
Xiong Ni blinked. “Spar with me?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
Xiong Ni shook her head with a laugh. “Little Brother Ye, I know your mysterious spacetime is powerful, but as far as I know, you can’t fully control it. Even if you could, you wouldn’t be my match! Your realm’s too low!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “No worries, I just want to test it!”
Xiong Ni nodded. “Alright, make your move!”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, the Qingxuan Sword appearing. With a single slash—
The spacetime before him shattered and annihilated!
Xiong Ni’s eyes narrowed, and she threw a punch.
Boom!
Ye Xuan was blasted into the tenth spacetime layer, and instantly, it ignited into a fiery inferno!
But Xiong Ni was also slashed into the spacetime abyss of the tenth layer by Ye Xuan’s strike!
Yet the abyss couldn’t hold her!
At that moment, Xiong Ni’s expression grew serious!
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan’s lips curved into a smile.
That slash hadn’t used the spacetime pressure—just like when he’d thrown the tower before.
Now, he had a rough idea of his combat strength!
With the mysterious spacetime’s pressure, he could fight Xiong Ni!
