At this moment, Elder Yue was utterly stunned!
He hadn’t expected that he would be instantly defeated by this young man before him!
This youth was only at the Circle-Breaking Realm!
In his eyes, such a realm was nothing more than an ant-like existence!
Yet now, he had been instantly defeated!
Ye Xuan didn’t waste words with Elder Yue. The Qingxuan Sword directly absorbed the elder’s divine soul.
Ye Xuan looked at the Qingxuan Sword in his hand, silent.
He had used the Qingxuan Sword just now, intending to kill with a single strike, but he realised it was completely unnecessary!
Although the opponent was at the Dao-Ming Realm, they were actually very weak. Even without the Qingxuan Sword, he could likely have defeated them instantly. Of course, apart from his own strength, there was another reason: this old man had underestimated him too much!
From start to finish, the opponent hadn’t taken him seriously!
In such a situation, combined with how close he was to the elder, he ended it with a single sword strike!
Ye Xuan was about to leave when, at that moment, an invisible pressure suddenly descended from the sky.
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. The next moment, an old man appeared before him.
Someone from White Day City!
The old man looked at Ye Xuan. “You’re from Eternal Night City!”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “No, I’m not!”
The old man’s eyes narrowed. “Then why did you kill someone from my White Day City!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “He came to kill me, so I had no choice but to fight back!”
The old man stared at Ye Xuan without speaking, but his eyes were filled with wariness.
At that moment, a man appeared in the scene.
It was none other than Mu Chen.
Mu Chen glanced at Ye Xuan with a wry smile. “Young Master Ye, I didn’t expect to see you again so soon!”
Ye Xuan shrugged. “I’m quite innocent in this. Elder Yue had a conflict with Miss Tian Yan and took it out on me. I already told him that his issues with Miss Tian Yan had nothing to do with me, but he wouldn’t listen! Not only did he refuse to listen, but he also attacked me, so I had no choice but to fight back!”
Forced to fight back!
Hearing this, the corner of Mu Chen’s mouth twitched slightly.
The old man beside them had an extremely grim expression.
Mu Chen suddenly said, “Elder Ge, you should head back!”
The old man hesitated, then said, “Second Young Master, this matter…”
Mu Chen replied, “I’ll handle it!”
The old man hesitated again, about to leave, when another man appeared in the scene. This man bore some resemblance to Mu Chen.
The old man gave a slight bow to the newcomer. “First Young Master!”
This was Mu Qian, the eldest son of the White Day City Lord!
The man smiled. “Second Brother, we can’t let this matter slide!”
He turned to Ye Xuan. “This person killed an elder of our White Day City. I suspect he’s from Eternal Night City!”
Mu Chen frowned slightly. “It was Elder Yue who provoked him first!”
Mu Qian chuckled. “Second Brother, are you still part of White Day City?”
Mu Chen fell silent for a moment before turning to Ye Xuan. “Young Master Ye, you should leave!”
Mu Qian’s eyes narrowed. “What, Second Brother, are you colluding with Eternal Night City now?”
Mu Chen remained silent.
He didn’t explain, because he knew that with someone foolish, explanations were futile!
At this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly laughed. “I’m not from Eternal Night City!”
Mu Qian looked at Ye Xuan. “You say you’re not, and that’s supposed to be enough?”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly. “He provoked me first.”
Mu Qian stared at Ye Xuan. “So you killed him?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes!”
Mu Qian’s eyes narrowed. “You’re quite arrogant!”
Ye Xuan laughed. “He wanted to kill me. Surely I wasn’t supposed to just stand there and take it?”
Mu Qian sneered. “You claim he wanted to kill you. Do you have proof?”
Ye Xuan blinked. “Are you planning to disregard reason now?”
A trace of disdain curled Mu Qian’s lips. “Reason? In this world, the one with the bigger fist makes the rules!”
Ye Xuan’s thumb suddenly flicked lightly.
*Swish!*
Before Mu Qian could react, his head was cleanly severed, and a fountain of blood spurted from his neck.
Seeing this, Mu Chen’s pupils contracted slightly. He knew Ye Xuan was strong, but he hadn’t realised just how strong! After all, his elder brother was also at the Dao-Ming Realm!
And a Dao-Ming Realm cultivator had been killed just like that?
The old man nearby turned pale, looking at Ye Xuan with eyes full of caution!
Ye Xuan glanced at Mu Qian’s soul, smiling faintly. “When I try to reason, it’s out of kindness, not fear. Understood?”
Now just a soul, Mu Qian glared at Ye Xuan. “My father is the Lord of White Day City, a supreme Transformation Realm expert!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “I despise second-generation types like you, always relying on your parents. Can’t you learn from me? Look at me—I don’t rely on my father. I rely on my sister!”
Little Tower: “…”
Mu Qian looked at Ye Xuan. “Sir, I believe this is a misunderstanding!”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “Too late!”
As his voice fell, the Qingxuan Sword suddenly plunged into Mu Qian’s soul. In an instant, Mu Qian was completely absorbed!
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword returned to his hand. He turned to leave.
At that moment, countless powerful auras suddenly surged into the sky from White Day City in the distance!
Ye Xuan abruptly vanished from the spot, disappearing at the horizon’s edge in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, both the old man and Mu Chen were stunned.
He just ran?
At that moment, dozens of experts appeared on the scene, led by a middle-aged man. The man looked toward the distant horizon. “From Eternal Night City?”
Mu Chen shook his head, sighing softly. “He’s not from Eternal Night City, but now, who can say for sure?”
The middle-aged man frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, he said, “Pursue him!”
With that, he led the group of experts in chase!
At that moment, Shen Tong and Tian Yan also appeared on the scene.
Tian Yan glanced into the distance, then looked at Mu Chen. “Are you chasing the Backing King?”
Mu Chen frowned. “Backing King?”
Tian Yan said, “That’s Ye Xuan!”
Mu Chen hesitated, then asked, “Miss Tian Yan, what exactly is Young Master Ye’s background?”
Tian Yan stared at Mu Chen. “I’m asking you, are you chasing him?”
Mu Chen nodded. “He just killed Elder Yue and my elder brother… Sigh!”
Tian Yan shook her head. “Idiots!”
As she spoke, she opened her palm, revealing a token—the identity token of White Day City.
Tian Yan flicked her finger, and the token flew to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen was puzzled. “Miss Tian Yan, you…”
Tian Yan said calmly, “From now on, I’m no longer part of White Day City!”
Mu Chen was stunned. “Miss Tian Yan, you…”
Tian Yan didn’t bother with further words and turned to leave.
Mu Chen hurriedly blocked her path, looking at her. “Miss Tian Yan, why?”
Tian Yan glanced at Mu Chen. “Why? Because you’re all courting death!”
Mu Chen said gravely, “What do you mean?”
Tian Yan replied indifferently, “That fool Elder Yue will be the death of you all! And you—if you truly have any influence, I suggest you use it to stop White Day City from chasing him. Otherwise, you’ll regret it! No, White Day City will regret it!”
With that, she vanished into the distance.
Shen Tong hesitated, then returned his wooden token to Mu Chen as well, disappearing at the horizon’s edge.
Mu Chen stood in place, silent for a moment before saying, “Investigate! Find out this person’s background!”
With that, he turned and left.
Soon, Mu Chen arrived at a pavilion in the city. He gave a slight bow to it. “Grandfather.”
There was no response from the pavilion.
Mu Chen spoke again. “Grandfather!”
After a long pause, a voice finally emerged. “Speak!”
Mu Chen began to explain in a low voice.
Moments later, the voice from the pavilion spoke again. “Not interested!”
Mu Chen gave a wry smile. “Grandfather, this could concern the survival of White Day City!”
The voice replied, “You worry too much! You’re overly cautious! Besides, he killed two of our people, including your elder brother. Such actions are a complete insult to White Day City. Whether he’s from Eternal Night or not, he must be killed. Otherwise, how will others in the city view us?”
Mu Chen fell silent.
The voice continued, “Moreover, if we don’t eliminate him and he joins Eternal Night, won’t that create another powerful enemy for White Day City? Young man, things have reached this point. Since we’ve already offended him, we must eradicate him completely, not seek peace. Besides, if you sought peace, would he join White Day City? He wouldn’t! There’s already a rift between him and us, understand?”
Mu Chen didn’t respond.
The voice went on, “Go now!”
Mu Chen gave a slight bow, then turned and left.
Mu Chen walked to a stone staircase, looking at the distant horizon, feeling a sense of unease.
Both Ye Xuan’s attitude and Tian Yan’s reaction made him feel that this matter was far from simple!
Could an ordinary force nurture a terrifying genius like Ye Xuan?
Clearly not!
In other words, there might be an extremely terrifying super force behind Ye Xuan!
This force was an uncertain factor!
Mu Chen gazed at the distant horizon, his eyes filled with deep worry.
But at this moment, he was powerless to change anything, because as his grandfather had said, things had reached a point of no reconciliation.
…
Elsewhere.
Ye Xuan rode his sword, pushing his speed to the limit. Behind him was a group of powerful Dao-Ming Realm experts!
He wasn’t afraid of the Dao-Ming Realm, but he feared being overwhelmed by numbers!
Moreover, he had been at White Day City’s gates earlier. If a fight broke out, that location would be disadvantageous to him.
Soon, Ye Xuan’s sword carried him into the vast starry sky.
Ye Xuan glanced around, then headed straight for the Eternal Night Realm.
Behind him, the leading middle-aged man stared into the distance. “He’s heading to the Eternal Night Realm. Stop him!”
With that, he pushed his speed to the limit, and the group of experts behind him accelerated as well.
At the edge of the distant starry sky, a black-robed old man suddenly appeared in front of Ye Xuan. The old man’s eyes narrowed. “Who are you?”
Ye Xuan hurriedly said, “White Day Realm is attacking! Quick… call for reinforcements to take them down!”
Black-robed old man: “…”
