“Done for!”
The Little Pagoda’s voice suddenly rang in Ye Xuan’s mind. The next moment, Yang Nianxue grabbed the Little Pagoda and left, leaving Ye Xuan alone in the field.
Soon, from the distant horizon, Ye Xuan heard the Little Pagoda’s shrill screams.
Ye Xuan: “…”
Resist?
The Little Pagoda naturally didn’t dare resist Yang Nianxue!
It wouldn’t even dare resist Ye Xuan, let alone Yang Nianxue. Who didn’t know Yang Nianxue was the princess of the Yang family?
Ye Xuan shook his head. This Little Pagoda spoke without a shred of thought!
What a mess!
Ignoring the Little Pagoda and Yang Nianxue, Ye Xuan looked up into the distance. Not far away stood an old man!
The old man wore a blood-red robe, his white hair flowing, his face etched with strange runes. His entire being exuded an aura of malevolence!
Ye Xuan smiled, “You must be the Lord of Burial Mountain?”
The old man rasped, “I am!”
Ye Xuan suddenly pointed at him angrily. “You dared send people to kill me? Who gave you the gall? Don’t you know who I am?”
The old man stared at Ye Xuan. “I’m rather curious about that!”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Xuantian Token appeared. “Do you know what this is?”
The old man’s expression darkened. “The Xuantian Token!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Do you know what my relationship is with the Pavilion Master of Xianbao Pavilion?”
The old man stared at Ye Xuan, silent.
Ye Xuan suddenly walked towards him. Seeing this, the old man frowned. “What are you doing?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Didn’t you want to kill my sister and me? Come on, strike me down!”
The old man’s face grew grim.
Ye Xuan continued, “Hurry up and kill me! I swear I won’t call for help!”
The old man: “…”
At that moment, many Burial Mountain powerhouses appeared around them. Seeing Ye Xuan’s arrogance, their faces darkened to the extreme.
Too damn cocky!
Utterly shameless!
Some in the crowd were about to act, but the Lord of Burial Mountain stopped them.
The Xuantian Token!
Possessing this token meant Ye Xuan had the approval of the Pavilion Master of Xianbao Pavilion. And that Pavilion Master…
Thinking of this, the Lord of Burial Mountain’s expression grew grave.
He was deeply wary of the Pavilion Master of Xianbao Pavilion, having been thoroughly dealt with by them once before!
That was a terrifying figure beyond description!
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Didn’t you want to kill me? Come on!”
The old man snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Ye Xuan. “Young man, don’t push your luck! Even if you’re…”
His words cut off as his pupils shrank. The next moment, under everyone’s gaze, the old man’s body began to turn illusory!
Severing the past!
Seeing this, the Burial Mountain powerhouses in the field were stunned.
What was happening?
The old man stared at Ye Xuan, his eyes filled with terror. “Time… How can you go back to the past… This is impossible…”
Ye Xuan looked puzzled. “Going back to the past? Isn’t that simple? What, you can’t?”
The old man: “…”
The old man wanted to say more, but the next moment, a sword light flashed through the field.
*Swish!*
The old man was completely erased!
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword returned to his hand. He swept his gaze around. “Anyone else?”
Anyone else!
The Burial Mountain powerhouses in the field looked at him with wariness.
Instantly killing an Eternal Immortality cultivator?
That was too terrifying!
Ye Xuan was about to act when the Burial Mountain powerhouses suddenly scattered in all directions, fleeing at incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, they vanished from Ye Xuan’s sight.
Ye Xuan didn’t pursue them. He opened his palm, and the storage ring of the former Lord of Burial Mountain appeared. He glanced inside—hundreds of star god veins!
Hundreds!
Ye Xuan put away the ring and turned. At that moment, Yang Nianxue returned with the Little Pagoda.
Ye Xuan: “…”
Yang Nianxue looked at him. “You dealt with Burial Mountain?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Yang Nianxue was curious. “How?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “We killed one of their Eternal Immortality cultivators earlier. I figured they probably didn’t have many of that calibre. So, just now, after confirming they only had one Eternal Immortality cultivator, I casually killed him. And that was that!”
Yang Nianxue stared at him. “That simple?”
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile. “Did you think it was hard?”
Yang Nianxue gave a thumbs-up. “Worthy of being my little brother. Impressive!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Yang Nianxue glanced around, then asked, “Did you get any treasures?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then took out a storage ring. “This is the former mountain lord’s ring. It has hundreds of star god veins. As usual, we split it half and half!”
With that, he handed half to Yang Nianxue.
Yang Nianxue stared at Ye Xuan, smiling. “Little brother, why so generous all of a sudden?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “We’re siblings, aren’t we?”
Yang Nianxue looked at him suspiciously. “I don’t quite believe you’d suddenly become so kind!”
Ye Xuan chuckled. “Didn’t you give me those pills earlier?”
Yang Nianxue hesitated, then said, “Actually, I don’t just have five pills…”
Ye Xuan was curious. “How many do you have?”
Yang Nianxue glanced at him. “Several hundred!”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
Several hundred!
My god!
This is what it means to be a second-generation heir?
Damn it!
Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
Born from the same father, yet the treatment was worlds apart!
Yang Nianxue took out a storage ring and handed it to Ye Xuan. “There are two hundred pills here. Keep them for yourself. These pills are extremely precious, specially crafted for me by someone Dad found. Each one is worth a fortune, so use them sparingly!”
Ye Xuan sighed softly, his heart heavy.
Yang Nianxue said softly, “Are you upset?”
Ye Xuan shook his head.
Yang Nianxue smiled, “Actually, I talked to Mum about you once. I asked her why Dad chose to let you roam free. Guess what she said?”
Ye Xuan was curious. “What?”
Yang Nianxue smiled, “She said Dad has high expectations for you! He knows that if he kept you by his side, you’d forever be just a second-generation heir, never surpassing him. Letting you roam free is like setting you outside the circle—you have limitless possibilities.”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Yang Nianxue smiled faintly. “He never expected me to surpass him. For him, it’s enough if I live a happy life. And he has the ability to ensure I live carefree! But I don’t really want that kind of life. I want to strive, to surpass him, to make him see me in a new light!”
The Little Pagoda suddenly spoke up, “It seems Master had me follow Little Master not just because of Mistress Su. He must also want me to surpass him! Heaven bestows great tasks on this pagoda, first tempering its will and body… I’ve never understood Master’s painstaking efforts…”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Yang Nianxue shook her head with a smile. “Little Pagoda, your personality has changed too much! You weren’t like this before!”
The Little Pagoda sighed softly, “Back when I was with Master, who didn’t give me, Little Pagoda, some face? But since following Little Master, my status has plummeted from heaven to hell… No one cares about me anymore! It’s tough!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. “Little Pagoda, I had Qing’er upgrade you!”
The Little Pagoda hesitated, then said, “Little Master, next time, have Sister Destiny make me even stronger! Your enemies are evolving too fast—fast enough that I’m struggling to keep up!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
At that moment, Yang Nianxue suddenly said, “Little brother, what’s next? Head to the Land of the Gods?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Let’s go!”
With that, the siblings vanished from the spot.
Soon, Ye Xuan and Yang Nianxue arrived at the Land of the Gods. The moment they did, Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed. The next instant, his pupils shrank, and he drew his sword in a swift slash.
*Boom!*
A burst of sword light erupted, and Ye Xuan was sent flying back several thousand zhang. As he stopped, a strange barrier suddenly appeared around him.
Ye Xuan frowned and looked into the distance. There stood an old man, his form illusory—a soul body!
The old man glanced at Ye Xuan, then said, “You’re indeed extraordinary. No wonder they summoned me early!”
Ancestor summoning!
Ye Xuan’s expression darkened.
The Land of the Gods had summoned an ancestor to deal with him in advance!
The old man suddenly added, “Who exactly are you?”
Ye Xuan was about to speak when the old man’s eyes narrowed. “Severing the future!”
With that, he clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it forward.
*Boom!*
The space-time around the old man twisted violently. The next moment, it shattered, and his soul body was forced back tens of thousands of zhang!
But Ye Xuan’s expression grew extremely grim!
The opponent had blocked his future-severing strike!
They had also gone back to the past!
This wasn’t an Eternal Immortality cultivator—this was a powerhouse beyond Eternal Immortality!
In the distance, the old man stared at Ye Xuan. “Who are you, and how can you enter the river of time?”
Ye Xuan glanced at him. “And why can *you* enter the river of time?”
The old man’s expression turned odd.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan frowned. Had he said something wrong?
The old man suddenly said gravely, “Who are you?!”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and the Qingxuan Sword appeared. “I’m the one who’s going to take your life!”
As his voice fell, the Qingxuan Sword shot out. The old man’s pupils shrank in the distance.
Severing the future!
Severing the present!
It could be done like this?
Sensing the terrifying power of Ye Xuan’s sword, the old man was horrified. He suddenly pulled out a talisman and crushed it. The talisman burst into flames, and the space-time around him was enveloped by a mysterious force.
Ye Xuan frowned. He realised his future-severing strike was trapped in the river of time.
What was going on?
The old man glared at Ye Xuan. “You dare defy time and travel to the past? Do you know you’ve committed a capital offence—a monstrous crime? The Time Enforcers will bind your soul and imprison you forever in the Boundless Realm!”
As his voice fell, a terrifying aura suddenly surged from the endless river of time.
Time Enforcers!
Ye Xuan fell silent.
In the distance, the old man burst into laughter. “Haha… They’re here! They’re really here! You’re done for! The Time Enforcers are coming! You’re as good as dead!”
