Ye Xuan fell silent.
Xianbao Pavilion!
Damn it!
He suddenly realised he had severely underestimated this Xianbao Pavilion!
At that moment, the old man looked at Ye Xuan and said with a smile, “Young master, I can tell from your face that you’re here to stir things up. If you buy this insurance, it’s guaranteed profit, no loss!”
Ye Xuan suddenly opened his palm, and a token appeared in his hand.
The Xuantian Token!
Seeing the token in Ye Xuan’s hand, the old man’s expression froze instantly.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Judging by your expression, you must recognise this token!”
The old man quickly folded away the white cloth and gave a slight bow. “I was unaware of your identity earlier, young master. My apologies for the presumption!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “What’s your relationship with the Xianbao Pavilion of the Observing World?”
The old man replied with a smile, “We’re one and the same, but we operate independently. They handle worlds with lower martial arts civilisations, while we manage those with higher ones!”
Ye Xuan was curious. “How many branches does Xianbao Pavilion actually have?”
The old man hesitated, then shook his head. “I don’t know the exact number. Only the Pavilion Master would know!”
Ye Xuan asked, “Is your Pavilion Master here?”
The old man shook his head. “She’s not here, and I don’t know where she is. I’ve never even met the Pavilion Master myself.”
The Pavilion Master of Xianbao Pavilion!
Ye Xuan fell silent. This woman was shrouded in mystery!
At that moment, the old man suddenly took out all the storage rings Ye Xuan had given him earlier and returned them. “Young master, you are the most esteemed guest of Xianbao Pavilion, with full privileges. Please take these back!”
Ye Xuan put away the storage rings and smiled. “How many star veins do you earn here daily?”
The old man gave an awkward smile. “Not much. On good days, a few thousand star veins!”
A few thousand star veins!
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
Damn it!
That’s insanely profitable!
Ye Xuan snapped out of his thoughts and said, “Help me find someone!”
The old man quickly replied, “Of course!”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and a portrait appeared in his hand. “It’s her!”
The old man took the portrait and said, “Please wait a moment, young master. It won’t take long—just a quarter of an hour!”
With that, he turned and left.
A quarter of an hour!
Ye Xuan glanced at the old Stuart retreating figure in the distance, falling silent.
The strength of this Xianbao Pavilion was somewhat terrifying!
At that moment, the old man reappeared before Ye Xuan, his expression grave. “Young master, we’ve located the woman. May I ask, who is she to you?”
Ye Xuan replied, “My sister!”
The old man said solemnly, “Your sister is in danger!”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly. “What do you mean?”
The old man’s expression was serious. “She’s currently being hunted by Burial Mountain!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Burial Mountain?”
The old man nodded. “The strongest superpower in this realm!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. His sister really knew how to stir up trouble!
The old man continued, “Not only that, but according to our information, your sister also killed a young lord from the Land of the Gods. She’s being pursued by two superpowers!”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
The old man glanced at Ye Xuan. “Will you go save her?”
Ye Xuan asked, “What’s the cultivation level of the strongest people in these two factions?”
The old man said gravely, “Eternal Immortality!”
Eternal Immortality!
Ye Xuan felt a headache coming on. While he wasn’t afraid of Eternal Immortality cultivators, that didn’t mean he could easily defeat them! After all, Eternal Immortality cultivators could also enter the river of time!
This sister of his!
Ye Xuan shook his head.
The old man added, “Young master, if you want to save her, you must hurry. Your sister’s situation is dire!”
Ye Xuan looked at the old man. “Among my privileges, can I mobilise Xianbao Pavilion’s powerhouses?”
The old man nodded. “Yes!”
Ye Xuan’s heart leapt with joy, and he said, “I want to mobilise your Eternal Immortality powerhouses!”
The old man hesitated, seeming to want to say something.
Ye Xuan frowned. “What’s wrong?”
The old man gave an awkward smile. “We don’t have any!”
None!
Ye Xuan was stunned. “Are you joking? You don’t have any Eternal Immortality cultivators?”
The old man nodded. “We truly don’t… If we did, you could command them, but we don’t!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
The old man gave an embarrassed smile. “We’re in the business of trade, not fighting!”
Ye Xuan said seriously, “If you lack strength, how can you establish yourselves here? Wouldn’t they have robbed you blind by now?”
The old man smiled. “The reason they don’t dare touch us is because our Pavilion Master once nearly wiped them out. As a result, the ancestors of those factions issued strict orders never to provoke Xianbao Pavilion!”
The mysterious Pavilion Master!
Ye Xuan fell silent.
He grew increasingly curious about this enigmatic Pavilion Master of Xianbao Pavilion.
Of course, he was also frustrated!
Damn it!
*You have the authority to command our powerhouses, but we don’t have any for you to command!*
Bloody hell!
This Xianbao Pavilion was something else!
The old man hesitated, then said, “Young Master Ye, if you don’t go soon, your sister may be in grave danger…”
Ye Xuan replied nonchalantly, “Don’t worry. Even if I die, she won’t!”
With that, he turned and vanished into the horizon.
The old man quickly called out, “Young Master Ye, I haven’t told you where she is!”
Ye Xuan reappeared before the old man. “Where?”
The old man said solemnly, “In the Xukun Sea, ten thousand li to the right!”
Ye Xuan nodded, but then, as if remembering something, he suddenly asked, “Can I buy that personal accident insurance?”
The old man shook his head. “No!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Because I’m your esteemed guest?”
The old man shook his head again. “No… We assess risks when selling this insurance, Young Master Ye… Our assessment is that you’re a highly dangerous individual with a high chance of death. Therefore, we can’t sell it to you—we’re afraid… afraid of losing money!”
Ye Xuan gave a thumbs-up. “Only doing guaranteed-profit deals… You lot are incredible!”
With that, he transformed into a beam of sword light and vanished at the edge of the horizon.
The old man: “…”
…
Ten thousand li was but a fleeting moment for Ye Xuan.
Upon arriving at the Xukun Sea, Ye Xuan found the scenery quite beautiful. The seawater was crystal clear, like a mirror, allowing one to see straight to the ocean floor. As he arrived at night, the countless stars in the sky reflected in the sea, creating a breathtaking view.
After admiring the scene for a moment, Ye Xuan looked into the distance. The next moment, he vanished from the spot, having sensed Yang Nianxue’s aura!
Soon, Ye Xuan spotted Yang Nianxue. When he saw her, he was stunned. Yang Nianxue was in a pitiful state—blood trickled from her mouth, one arm had been severed, her aura was weak, and her face was pale as paper.
She was gravely injured!
Ye Xuan frowned. How had his sister ended up in such a mess?
Not far from Yang Nianxue stood an old man and a middle-aged man, both at the Eternal Will realm. Surrounding them were ten others, all at the Eternal Flesh realm!
She’d been ganged up on!
Seeing Ye Xuan, Yang Nianxue’s face lit up with joy. She rushed to him, gave him a tight hug, and exclaimed excitedly, “Brother, my dear brother! Your big sister missed you so much!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
In the distance, the leading old man and middle-aged man looked at Ye Xuan. When they saw him, both frowned.
They couldn’t discern Ye Xuan’s cultivation level!
Yang Nianxue leaned close to Ye Xuan and whispered, “Little brother, did you come alone?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Yang Nianxue looked at him. “Where’s Dad?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “He said he’s off gallivanting!”
Yang Nianxue froze, then flew into a rage. “That beast!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Yang Nianxue hesitated, then asked, “Did he give you anything to protect yourself, like sword qi?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “No!”
Yang Nianxue was shocked. “Not even one strand of sword qi?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Not a single one!”
Yang Nianxue hesitated, then said, “When I left, he gave me five strands of sword qi!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Yang Nianxue said helplessly, “I’ve used them all!”
She looked at Ye Xuan. “Brother, Dad didn’t give you a single strand of sword qi… I seriously suspect you’re not his real son!”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
Yang Nianxue continued, “Can you call upon Destiny?”
Ye Xuan shook his head.
Yang Nianxue’s face darkened. “Are you sure?”
Ye Xuan said helplessly, “I’m sure!”
Yang Nianxue stared at him. “Then why are you here?”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “Dad told me to come help you, but it looks like I can’t do much for you!”
Yang Nianxue’s face fell.
Ye Xuan asked curiously, “How did you end up fighting them?”
Yang Nianxue blinked, then said, “I found a secret realm. Inside, there were loads of treasures, including star god veins!”
Ye Xuan quickly asked, “How many?”
Yang Nianxue glanced at him warily. “Not many, just one or two!”
Ye Xuan glared at her. “Just one or two, and they’re chasing you like this? Are they mad?”
Yang Nianxue hesitated, then said, “A dozen or so!”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “How many exactly?”
Yang Nianxue replied, “Really, just a dozen or so. I swear, if I’m lying, let Dad get hacked to death!”
The man in green: “…”
Ye Xuan looked at Yang Nianxue. “If you don’t tell the truth, I’m leaving!”
With that, he turned to go.
Yang Nianxue’s expression changed drastically, and she grabbed him. “Brother, you’re my real brother!”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “What if you’re not?”
Yang Nianxue: “…”
Ye Xuan pressed, “How many exactly?”
Yang Nianxue hesitated, then said, “A few hundred!”
A few hundred!
Ye Xuan’s eyelids twitched. He held up one finger. “Half. Give me half!”
Yang Nianxue jumped up. “That’s too much! Too much!”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “Then call Dad! Let him come save you!”
With that, he turned to leave.
Yang Nianxue quickly grabbed him. “Wait… we can negotiate, we can talk!”
Ye Xuan looked at her. “Are you giving it or not?”
Yang Nianxue nodded. “I’ll give it! I’ll give it!”
Ye Xuan held out his right hand. “Give it now, then I’ll help you fight!”
Yang Nianxue hesitated.
At that moment, the old man nearby suddenly spoke. “Are you planning to intervene?”
Ye Xuan glanced at Yang Nianxue, then said, “I’m not intervening! Carry on!”
With that, he turned to leave.
Yang Nianxue’s expression changed, and she quickly said, “I’ll give it after the fight!”
Ye Xuan rolled his eyes. “Big sister, we’re family. Stop playing these tricks! Don’t you know what kind of people our family is?”
Yang Nianxue: “…”
