Little Tower continued, “Beaten from start to finish… Of course, compared to Sister Destiny, the Master was very young back then, so it was normal that he couldn’t beat her!”
It paused, then added, “Sister Destiny was the only one who dared to take on both your big brother and the Master at the same time… Unprecedented and unmatched!”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “In the future, I’ll be able to do that too! Not only that, I’ll make all three of them fight me together!”
After a moment of silence, Little Tower said, “When it comes to boasting and bragging, Little Master, I only admire you!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Moments later, Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes.
At this moment, he was pondering a question: the Demon Sect hadn’t come looking for him in so long, which meant the fourth-stage man from before hadn’t reported to the Demon Sect.
In other words, the other party might be investigating him!
This was his chance!
Time!
He wasn’t afraid of powerful opponents or enemies; what he feared was a lack of time!
And this “One Sword Slays Fate” technique—he needed to find a way to improve it, as it was now ineffective against Fate Mysterious beings.
The passage of time!
His intuition told him that the potential of this time-passage power was far greater than what he’d tapped into.
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Divine Decree, do you know where other Demon Sect branches are?”
Divine Decree said gravely, “If you destroy one branch, it might not attract much attention from the Demon Sect. But if you destroy several… I’m afraid you’ll draw their focus. By then, fifth- and sixth-stage powerhouses might come for you!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “If I don’t destroy them, will they spare me?”
After a long silence, Divine Decree said, “Go to the Ancient Demon Realm!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Lead the way!”
Moments later, a stream of information flooded Ye Xuan’s mind. He activated the Qingxuan Sword and vanished from the spot.
…
Ancient Demon Realm.
As soon as Ye Xuan arrived, he scanned his surroundings. Soon, his brows furrowed, and he prepared to retreat.
At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him. “Young Master Ye, I’ve been waiting for you!”
Ye Xuan turned to see a man—the same fourth-stage powerhouse he’d fought before!
His physical body had fully recovered.
Besides this man, there were two mysterious black-robed powerhouses! That wasn’t the key point—the key was that both were at the fourth stage of the Cosmic Heart Realm!
Three fourth-stage Cosmic Heart Realm experts!
The man smiled. “Young Master Ye, are you a bit surprised?”
Ye Xuan laughed. “Do you think I’m surprised?”
The man glanced at the sword in Ye Xuan’s hand and said nothing.
Ye Xuan’s Qingxuan Sword was still in its sheath, meaning he hadn’t drawn it!
Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled. “I thought the Demon Sect would send fifth-stage powerhouses. I didn’t expect they’d still be fourth-stage!”
Fifth-stage Cosmic Heart Realm!
The man smiled. “Does Young Master Ye know much about our Demon Sect?”
Ye Xuan countered, “Do you know much about me?”
The man nodded slightly. “From my investigation, it seems there’s a mysterious powerhouse behind Young Master Ye—a female sword cultivator, correct?”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “You only found one?”
The man looked at Ye Xuan. “There’s more than one?”
Ye Xuan laughed. “How may I address you?”
The man smiled. “Yun Chuan!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “Brother Yun Chuan, you knew I’d come, so you brought two fourth-stage powerhouses to wait for me. Yet you haven’t attacked directly. Why? Simple—you’re not confident you can kill me. Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, you haven’t fully investigated me or the forces behind me. You’re holding back, aren’t you?”
The man looked at Ye Xuan and smiled. “Yes!”
Ye Xuan continued, “Now, Brother Yun Chuan is even more cautious! Because I know about the Demon Sect but don’t fear it!”
Yun Chuan smiled faintly. “Yes!”
Ye Xuan added, “Does Brother Yun Chuan want to know about the forces behind me?”
From behind Yun Chuan, an old man suddenly said calmly, “Yun Chuan, why waste words with him? Just kill him and be done with it! He’s spouting all this nonsense to trick us and escape!”
Ye Xuan glanced at the old man. Damn it, he wasn’t afraid of clever people—just these half-smart, half-foolish hotheads!
Yun Chuan smiled faintly. “What are the forces behind Young Master Ye?”
He didn’t think Ye Xuan was bluffing, as all signs pointed to someone backing him!
Ye Xuan smiled. “Have you ever heard of the Three Swords Alliance?”
Little Tower: “…”
Yun Chuan frowned. “Three Swords Alliance?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “You haven’t heard of it?”
Yun Chuan hesitated, then shook his head. “No!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly. “It seems Brother Yun Chuan’s rank isn’t high enough!”
Yun Chuan: “…”
At that moment, the old man nearby said gravely, “Not high enough? Are you joking? Our Demon Sect’s influence spans countless universes. We know of so many realms, yet we’ve never heard of any Three Swords Alliance. I think you’re just trying to save your skin by fooling the three of us!”
With that, he moved to attack.
Ye Xuan suddenly opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword floated slowly toward the old man. “Old man, you’re a fourth-stage powerhouse, surely well-versed. Come, take a look at my sword!”
The old man waved his hand. “I’m not looking—I’m going to kill you!”
With that, he charged at Ye Xuan!
His immense power caused the entire sky to boil!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s eyelids twitched. Damn it, where did this hothead come from?
At that moment, Yun Chuan suddenly shouted, “Stop!”
Hearing Yun Chuan, the old man halted. He turned to Yun Chuan, who was staring at the Qingxuan Sword in front of him.
The old man frowned, about to speak, when Yun Chuan suddenly looked at Ye Xuan. “Who forged this sword?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Who do you think?”
Yun Chuan looked at the sword in his hand, silent.
In the depths of his eyes, there was a trace of solemnity.
Moments later, Yun Chuan looked at Ye Xuan. “I’ve indeed never heard of any Three Swords Alliance!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Brother Yun Chuan, how about this: three days from now, I’ll personally visit the Demon Sect. Let’s resolve the grudge between me and your sect once and for all. What do you think?”
Yun Chuan frowned. “You’re going to our Demon Sect?”
Ye Xuan laughed. “Yes! Our grudge needs to be settled, doesn’t it?”
Yun Chuan fell silent.
Ye Xuan smiled. “At that time, you’ll see the strength of the Three Swords Alliance!”
Yun Chuan glanced at Ye Xuan. “You’ll really go?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “I swear on the Three Swords Alliance: if I don’t go, may the three sword cultivators of the Three Swords Alliance be utterly destroyed!”
Little Tower: “…”
