The moment Ye Xuan saw Ye Ling, his face changed in an instant!
Ye Ling was reduced to just a soul!
And Ye Ling had been with Nian Jie!
Could something have happened to Nian Jie?
At that moment, Ye Ling’s voice trembled, “Brother, something’s wrong!”
Something’s wrong!
Ye Xuan’s heart sank, he quickly said, “Don’t panic, take it slow!”
But Ye Ling grabbed his hand, “Go save Sister An and Sister Wenxiu!”
With that, she pulled Ye Xuan and started running.
Ye Xuan hurriedly opened his palm, sending the Qingxuan Sword into Ye Ling’s body to nourish her soul.
On the way, Ye Xuan said gravely, “Ling’er, what happened? Where’s Nian Jie? Don’t tell me something’s happened to her!”
In his mind, as long as Qing’er and the other two didn’t intervene, Nian Jie was absolutely invincible!
Ye Ling hesitated, struggling to speak.
Ye Xuan frowned, “What exactly happened?”
Ye Ling whispered, “Nian Jie’s gone!”
Ye Xuan’s voice deepened, “What do you mean?”
Ye Ling shook her head, “I don’t know, that day Nian Jie took us to the Zhouyuan Realm, then she seemed to notice something and said she’d step out for a bit, but she never came back!”
Zhouyuan Realm!
Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed again, he hadn’t expected Nian Jie and the others to have gone there.
Ye Ling continued, “After Nian Jie left, we searched everywhere for her, then we ran into the Ancient Star Clan, their young clan leader wanted to pursue Sister An, she refused, and he kept harassing us, targeting us in every way!”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s face darkened instantly.
Ye Ling added, “During one clash, Sister An and Sister Wenxiu held them off so I could escape…”
She looked at Ye Xuan, “There were too many of them, and with Nian Jie gone, we couldn’t hold them off.”
Ye Xuan asked gravely, “Are Wenxiu and Xiao An okay?”
Ye Ling shook her head, “I don’t know!”
She urged, “We need to hurry!”
Ye Xuan suddenly handed her the Qingxuan Sword, “Think of the Zhouyuan Realm in your mind!”
Ye Ling was puzzled but complied.
The Qingxuan Sword in her hand began to tremble faintly, moments later, Ye Xuan opened his palm, the sword returned to him, he looked at Ye Ling, “Into the tower!”
With that, he sent Ye Ling into Little Tower!
Gripping the Qingxuan Sword, Ye Xuan closed his eyes slowly, the next moment, the spacetime before him ripped open, and in a flash, he turned into a streak of sword light and vanished!
Destination: Zhouyuan Realm!
Using the Qingxuan Sword, Ye Xuan tore through spacetime along the way—good thing his strength had grown, or he’d never withstand such a journey!
It was too far!
Throughout, Ye Xuan’s face was terrifyingly grim, his eyes tinged with a faint blood-red hue.
…
Zhouyuan Realm.
The Zhouyuan Realm was unusually united now, all because the Tianqi Clan had emerged!
No major faction in the Zhouyuan Realm could forget the Tianqi Clan, back then, it took nearly the entire realm’s forces combined to drive this terrifying race out!
Driven out, not exterminated!
Even with every race united, they couldn’t wipe out the Tianqi Clan.
In the Zhouyuan Realm, six super races reigned: the Shenhuang Clan, Li Clan, Tianyuan Clan, Meng Clan, Ancient Star Clan, and Stone Clan.
Though the realm had many races, these six were the strongest and led the rest.
Now, with the Tianqi Clan’s return, the six clan leaders, once locked in internal strife, gathered again, signing an alliance pact!
Led by the six, the lesser races below quickly banded together as well!
The Zhouyuan Realm was as united as it had been in ages!
In an unknown mountain range.
Boom!
A muffled explosion rang out as a woman was hurled back violently, her retreat shattering the spacetime behind her!
It was An Lanxiu!
Beside her stood Zhang Wenxiu, opposite them were three men and a woman, the leader was Gu Nan, young clan leader of the Ancient Star Clan, beside him were Shen Qing of the Shenhuang Clan, Shi Tian of the Stone Clan, and Li Xun’er, the eldest daughter of the Li Clan!
Behind the four stood sixteen super powerhouses!
Fifteen were circle-breakers, and the leader, a black-robed elder, was a circle-creator!
The one who’d just repelled An Lanxiu was him!
Gu Nan looked at An Lanxiu with a faint smile, “Miss An, you’re the first woman to reject me, but the more you refuse, the more I’m intrigued! Know why? Because I love the thrill of conquest!”
Shen Qing of the Shenhuang Clan chuckled, “Brother Gu Nan, I must say, you’ve got good taste, this woman’s got something special, but for her to hold her own against a circle-creator as a circle-breaker, her background must be extraordinary!”
The leading circle-creator elder added, “Young Clan Leader, this woman’s no ordinary figure, if you force her back, it might stir up trouble we don’t want!”
Gu Nan laughed, “In the Zhouyuan Realm, there’s no one the six clans can’t handle, and beyond the Zhouyuan Realm…”
He smirked, “Outside this realm, those lesser world forces are less than ants before our six clans!”
Arrogant?
No one thought Gu Nan was arrogant!
The Zhouyuan Realm was the known center of the universe, its martial civilization the pinnacle of all known worlds.
To the six clans, anything beyond was just barbarian land!
Gu Nan looked at An Lanxiu again, “If you marry me, with your talent and my Gu family’s resources, reaching circle-creator isn’t out of the question!”
In the distance, An Lanxiu ignored him entirely, her gaze fixed on the circle-creator elder, “Again!”
Her voice fell, and she vanished.
Whoosh!
A spear thrust forward like lightning toward the elder, he frowned, raising an arm to block.
Boom!
A muffled impact rang out, and the elder was forced back nearly a hundred feet!
Seeing this, Gu Nan and the others frowned.
They were circle-breakers too, but none could withstand three moves from this elder, yet An Lanxiu had pushed him back!
This was borderline absurd!
The elder eyed An Lanxiu, a hint of gravity in his gaze, “Truly a prodigy!”
His voice fell, and he charged, throwing a punch at her!
In the distance, An Lanxiu remained calm, her spear stabbing forward, a chilling glint at its tip!
Countless forces converged at that point!
Boom!
An explosive clash erupted, a wave of spear light bursting forth like a volcanic eruption, both An Lanxiu and the elder retreated, An Lanxiu falling back into a spacetime abyss.
The elder was pushed back nearly a thousand feet!
Gu Nan and the others’ faces darkened, their expressions growing heavier!
The elder stared at An Lanxiu, a flicker of solemnity in his eyes.
Too prodigious!
That was his feeling now!
If this woman reached circle-creator, few in her tier could match her!
Even the Zhouyuan Realm’s most monstrous circle-creators might not compare!
In the distance, An Lanxiu closed her eyes slowly, her spear trembling violently.
Gu Nan suddenly asked, “Third Uncle, can you take her down?”
The elder glanced at him, voice low, “This woman’s not simple, you might not be able to tame her!”
Gu Nan laughed, “Third Uncle, are you joking? Just a woman—I can’t tame her?”
The elder’s brows furrowed—this nephew of his was far too full of himself!
Gu Nan added, “Third Uncle, remember, don’t kill her, I must make her mine!”
His eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at An Lanxiu.
Conquering a woman like this was what gave him satisfaction!
The elder glanced at Gu Nan, then turned to An Lanxiu, “Come, let’s see just how prodigious you are!”
As he prepared to strike, An Lanxiu vanished from her spot!
The elder’s eyes narrowed, he charged forward, pointing a finger!
Head-on!
The spear arrived!
Boom!
Her spear was stopped by his finger, but the next moment, An Lanxiu let go with her right hand, lunging forward and driving a knee into the elder’s abdomen.
The elder’s eyes narrowed, his left hand pressing down hard.
Thud!
A muffled sound rang out, and the elder was forced back repeatedly, at that moment, An Lanxiu grabbed her spear with her right hand, leapt up, and thrust it down at his head.
Whoosh!
Spacetime tore apart!
The elder snapped his head up, his right hand spinning fiercely, instantly turning the spacetime before him into a pitch-black vortex.
As An Lanxiu’s spear plunged into it, the vortex erupted with a terrifying force, swallowing her spear in an instant.
An Lanxiu’s pupils shrank, she flickered backward, retreating a thousand feet, but as she stopped, a shadow appeared behind her, her face changed, she spun around, arms crossing to block.
Boom!
A powerful force sent her flying thousands of feet, her body shattering as she landed!
Before her, not far off, stood a middle-aged man!
Two circle-creators!
Zhang Wenxiu rushed to An Lanxiu’s side, “Are you okay?”
An Lanxiu’s soul was faint now, extremely weak!
She could handle one circle-creator, but two were beyond her!
Gu Nan suddenly laughed, “Miss An, why put yourself through this?”
An Lanxiu ignored him, staring at the middle-aged man, her right hand clenching slowly.
Seeing her dismiss him again, Gu Nan’s eyes narrowed, “Like playing aloof, huh? Wait…”
“Wait for what?”
At that moment, a ferocious voice roared through the scene!
The elder and middle-aged man’s faces changed instantly, they turned sharply to Gu Nan, and before anyone could react, a young man appeared in front of him, a sword pressed to Gu Nan’s brow!
It was Ye Xuan!
Seeing Ye Xuan restrain Gu Nan in an instant, the elder’s eyes narrowed, “Don’t touch him!”
Gu Nan stared at Ye Xuan, “Who are you?!”
Ye Xuan grinned, his smile savage, “You dare covet my woman and shatter my sister’s body… Did Tian Ye give you the guts of a dog?”
His voice fell, and he drove the sword into Gu Nan’s groin…
…
