To say the least, everyone present was utterly dumbfounded at this moment!
Six Fate Knowing Realm powerhouses!
Tens of thousands of Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators!
Where did these powerhouses come from?
Even Ye Xuan himself was somewhat bewildered. Who were these people in front of him?
Why were they so respectful toward him?
Could it be that he had yet another hidden, extraordinary identity?
For a moment, the scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
At this point, the middle-aged man leading the group hurriedly said, “It’s normal that Young Master Ye doesn’t recognize us. This is our first meeting with you!”
He stepped closer to Ye Xuan and whispered, “We know your sister!”
Sister!
Ye Xuan’s eyes widened. “The one in the plain skirt?”
The middle-aged man nodded eagerly.
Qing’er!
Ye Xuan’s mind went blank!
Where had Qing’er found so many terrifying powerhouses?
At that moment, Zhao Qing suddenly spoke up, “Who are you, sir?”
The middle-aged man in front of Ye Xuan turned to glance at Zhao Qing, then looked back at Ye Xuan. “Young Master Ye, is this man your friend?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “They want to gang up on me!”
Hearing this, the middle-aged man flew into a rage. “Outrageous!”
He turned to Zhao Qing, an invisible pressure enveloping him. “You’ve got some nerve, daring to disrespect Young Master Ye!”
At those words, Zhao Qing and his group were completely stunned!
Young Master Ye?
Where did this Young Master Ye come from?
Ye Xuan looked at the middle-aged man. “How should I address you, sir?”
The man replied, “Great Heavenly Sovereign!”
Then, as if recalling something, he quickly added, “Young Master Ye can just call me Mu Yunxi!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “I’ll call you Senior then!”
The middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly waved his hands. “No, no! Absolutely not! How could I dare be Young Master Ye’s senior… Just call me Mu Yunxi. If that feels odd, Great Heavenly Sovereign works too!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Then I’ll call you Great Heavenly Sovereign!”
The Great Heavenly Sovereign nodded eagerly. “Good!”
Seeing this, Zhao Qing and the others were left gaping.
A Fate Knowing Realm powerhouse showing such deference to Ye Xuan?
This was a Fate Knowing Realm expert!
What kind of second-generation bigshot was this?
How had they never heard of him?
Zhao Qing and his group began to panic.
In the shadows, Huangyuan Shen and Zhao Shenxiao’s expressions grew heavy. At this moment, they felt fortunate!
Fortunate they hadn’t joined the Zhao and Wang families—otherwise, they’d be finished!
Meanwhile, Mu Sen and Elder Xuanji wore bitter expressions. They’d known Ye Xuan wasn’t ordinary, but they hadn’t imagined he’d be *this* extraordinary!
They realized they’d missed a golden opportunity—one that might have propelled them to the Fate Knowing Realm!
Too late for regrets!
And Xiong Ni? She was equally dumbfounded!
She’d known Ye Xuan had someone backing him, but she hadn’t expected that backer to be *this* terrifying!
Six Fate Knowing Realm powerhouses and tens of thousands of Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators—what kind of godly faction was this?
Xiong Ni fell into deep silence.
In the distance, Zhao Qing hurriedly said, “Sir, this is a misunderstanding!”
The Great Heavenly Sovereign ignored him, turning to Ye Xuan instead. Ye Xuan smiled faintly. “Head of the Zhao family, care to explain this misunderstanding?”
Zhao Qing bowed slightly, his voice trembling. “Young Master Ye, it’s our fault. We were blind and offended you. Please, Young Master Ye…”
Ye Xuan suddenly laughed. “Kill them! Leave none alive!”
At that, Zhao Qing froze. The next moment, his expression turned ferocious. “Ye Xuan, must you be so ruthless? My ancestor was a Fate Knowing Realm powerhouse too! Don’t you know the saying—leave a way out, and we’ll meet again someday?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “There won’t be a someday! Because the Zhao family will be wiped out!”
Zhao Qing opened his mouth to retort, but the Great Heavenly Sovereign waved his right hand. In an instant, the powerhouses behind him attacked.
At that moment, Ye Xuan added, “Leave their souls!”
The Great Heavenly Sovereign nodded and vanished from his spot!
A bloody scene unfolded!
The bodies of the Zhao and Wang family powerhouses began exploding one after another, like fireworks—gruesome beyond measure!
In less than a breath, dozens of Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators were obliterated!
Zhao Qing and his group were dumbfounded.
They didn’t even have a chance to fight back!
They hadn’t imagined that, in front of a Fate Knowing Realm powerhouse, they’d be so powerless!
Was the gap really this vast?
Wang Xiao looked at Ye Xuan, trembling. “Young Master Ye, we…”
Before he could finish, Ye Xuan’s thought stirred, and the Qingxuan Sword shot out, piercing Wang Xiao’s forehead. It swiftly began absorbing his soul!
Seeing this, Zhao Qing and the others were horrified and tried to resist, but an unseen force pinned them down. They could only watch helplessly as the Qingxuan Sword devoured their souls one by one!
Despair!
Zhao Qing knew he was done! The Zhao family was done!
They’d provoked someone they shouldn’t have!
He glared at Ye Xuan with venom. “Ye Xuan, I curse you! I curse your whole family to die out!”
Die out?
Ye Xuan blinked. “I’m not worried at all!”
Zhao Qing tried to say more, but the Qingxuan Sword plunged into his forehead. In an instant, his soul was sucked dry!
In less than half a quarter-hour, the souls of every Primordial Spirit Realm powerhouse were completely absorbed!
After consuming them all, the Qingxuan Sword’s aura surged!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s lips curved upward. The Qingxuan Sword might be on the verge of another breakthrough!
These were nearly fifty Primordial Spirit Realm souls, after all!
Ye Xuan stowed the Qingxuan Sword into the small pagoda, letting Little Soul handle the breakthrough slowly!
After storing the sword, Ye Xuan turned to Xu Wang nearby. Her face was pale, her body wounded.
The Qingxuan Sword drained her heavily, and fighting six opponents had taken its toll!
Ye Xuan smiled. “Go into the pagoda to heal!”
Xu Wang nodded and entered the small pagoda!
Ye Xuan looked at the Great Heavenly Sovereign, who quickly bowed slightly. “Does Young Master Ye have any orders?”
Ye Xuan asked softly, “Where did you meet Qing’er?”
The Great Heavenly Sovereign replied gravely, “In the distant Burial Domain!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “Burial Domain?”
The Great Heavenly Sovereign nodded. “Most of today’s Fate Knowing Realm powerhouses are there, researching realms beyond Fate Knowing!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “Got it!”
With that, he opened his palm, and countless storage rings flew into his hand.
These were Zhao Qing and the others’ rings. He glanced through them—altogether, they held over a million Tianji Crystals!
Not top-grade ones!
Ye Xuan checked on Xue Jie in the pagoda. She had fewer than a few tens of thousands of Tianji Crystals left.
He sighed softly and sent all the crystals to Yang Nianxue.
At that moment, Yang Nianxue’s voice rang out. “Little brother, I knew you wouldn’t let me down!”
Ye Xuan rubbed his temples, exasperated!
The Great Heavenly Sovereign surveyed the surroundings, then said, “Young Master Ye, will you come with us to the Burial Domain?”
Ye Xuan looked at him. “To the Burial Domain?”
The Great Heavenly Sovereign nodded. “That place is far better for growth than here. The Tianji Crystal mines around here are too scarce! Simply put, the resources here can’t produce many Fate Knowing Realm powerhouses—no, they can’t produce any at all! The resources a single Fate Knowing Realm cultivator consumes are astronomical! This place is too small, too poor in resources—not suited for advancement!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly. “I see! I’ll think it over!”
The Great Heavenly Sovereign nodded. “Very well!”
He glanced at the starry sky above, then added, “We’ll wait for you in the stars! If you need anything, just say the word!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Alright!”
The Great Heavenly Sovereign bowed again, then led his group away from the scene.
Ye Xuan, meanwhile, headed straight for the Zhao and Wang families!
These two great clans had immense wealth—countless divine treasures and Tianji Crystals!
Why not take them?
After Ye Xuan left, Mu Sen and Elder Xuanji, still in hiding, shook their heads with bitter smiles.
They knew Xu Wang had hit the jackpot!
She hadn’t abandoned Ye Xuan even in the face of death. With Ye Xuan’s character, would he let her down?
No way!
He’d surely do everything to help her reach Fate Knowing Realm!
Mu Sen sighed and shook his head. “In this life, effort matters, talent matters, but opportunity matters most! We’ve missed this chance today—our breakthrough may be impossible now!”
Elder Xuanji’s expression darkened.
Mu Sen gave a bitter laugh. “Timing, fate! It’s all fate!”
With that, he turned and left.
After a long silence, Elder Xuanji followed suit.
…
Elsewhere, Mu Jianghe’s heart was a tangle of emotions.
At the start, he’d wanted to stay like Xu Wang, to face the Zhao and Wang families alongside Ye Xuan. But in the end, he hadn’t dared gamble with his life!
After all, you only get one!
Now, his life was safe, but he’d lost a chance to change his destiny!
Fate!
Mu Jianghe sighed softly and turned away.
In the clouds, Xiong Ni licked her candied hawthorn, silent.
After a long, long time, she too sighed softly and left.
She’d given up in the end!
The current Ye Xuan was beyond her ability to scheme against!
Forget the Great Heavenly Sovereign and his crew—even Ye Xuan alone might be too much for her, decked out in godly gear as he was!
…
In the starry sky, beside the Great Heavenly Sovereign, an old man said gravely, “Great Heavenly Sovereign, are you really taking Young Master Ye to the Burial Domain?”
The Great Heavenly Sovereign replied softly, “What, you don’t want to?”
The old man hesitated, then said, “That senior never told us to bring him along!”
“Fool!”
The Great Heavenly Sovereign snapped, a bit annoyed. “Think about it—if we take Young Master Ye with us, what does that mean? It means we’ve tied ourselves to that senior!”
The old man froze.
The Great Heavenly Sovereign continued, “If we stick with Young Master Ye, his backer becomes our backer. Get it?”
The old man paused, then said, “I get it! Brilliant, Great Heavenly Sovereign! I’m in awe!”
The Great Heavenly Sovereign gazed into the depths of the starry sky, murmuring, “A deity who’s surpassed Fate Knowing yet remains unknown… We’ve got to cling to this thigh!”
