**Killed!**
Seeing Ye Xuan actually kill Agai, Sang Yu’s face turned pale instantly!
She hadn’t expected this man’s strength to be so terrifying—killing without hesitation.
Sang Yu stared at Ye Xuan. “Do you know what you’ve done?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “No idea!”
Sang Yu said angrily, “Do you know who he was? He’s the son of the vice-president of our Immortal Treasure Pavilion—the only son! By killing him, do you realize how serious the consequences are?”
Ye Xuan blinked, feigning a look of ‘terror.’ “The vice-president’s son? I… I didn’t know! I… I saw him bullying you, so I…”
Sang Yu was stunned for a moment, then asked, “You killed him because of me?”
Ye Xuan nodded eagerly. “Yes!”
Sang Yu stared at him. “Why?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said ‘shyly,’ “Because you’re beautiful!”
Small Tower: “…”
Sang Yu looked at Ye Xuan. After a moment, she took a deep breath and said, “You should leave quickly!”
Ye Xuan glanced at Agai’s corpse. “What about you?”
Sang Yu was silent. “I should be fine!”
Ye Xuan hurriedly said, “Why don’t we leave together?”
Sang Yu looked at him. “Elope with you?”
Before Ye Xuan could respond, Sang Yu shook her head. “If I go with you, you’re as good as dead. If you leave alone, you might still have a chance!”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly. “Silly girl, if I leave, you’re the one who’s doomed!”
Sang Yu looked at Ye Xuan, a trace of warmth rising in her heart.
At that moment, a terrifying aura appeared from the distant horizon.
Seeing this aura, Sang Yu’s face turned even paler. She rushed to Ye Xuan and handed him a talisman. “This is a supreme teleportation talisman. It can instantly transport you across star domains. Go now…”
Ye Xuan asked, “What about you?”
Sang Yu snapped, “I’m with the Immortal Treasure Pavilion—he won’t do anything to me! If you don’t leave, you’re dead! And you’ll drag your family into this. Even if you don’t care about yourself, think about your loved ones!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
*Think about Father and Qing’er?*
He felt he was overthinking!
*Better think about myself!*
Sang Yu suddenly shouted, “Why aren’t you leaving?”
Before Ye Xuan could respond, an old man appeared in the scene.
Seeing him, Sang Yu’s face grew even paler.
It was Anan, the vice-president of this branch of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!
Anan glanced at Agai’s corpse and, after a moment of silence, looked at Ye Xuan. “Did you know he was with the Immortal Treasure Pavilion?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “I did.”
Anan stared at him. “Knowing that, you still dared to kill him. It seems you’re no ordinary person! Name your backer—let me see who you are.”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “If my backer’s strong enough, you won’t cause me trouble, right?”
Anan said, “Correct.”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Ever heard of the Three Swords?”
Anan frowned. “What’s that? Never heard of it!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “What about the Lord of Time?”
Anan’s eyes narrowed. “Of course I’ve heard of him!”
Ye Xuan said solemnly, “We’re sworn brothers!”
Anan flew into a rage. “You little brat, are you insulting my intelligence? The Lord of Time? He’s the God of Time, revered by all cultivators, master of the way of time. And you claim to be his sworn brother… Are you an idiot?”
Ye Xuan was dumbfounded.
*Damn it!*
*There’s no justice!*
*Why does no one believe me when I tell the truth?*
After his battle with Dao Xuan Yi, he’d resolved to turn over a new leaf, to stop being so flashy. But now he realized—it wasn’t working!
Being honest didn’t cut it in this world!
Anan glared at Ye Xuan. “Who the hell are you?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “A wandering cultivator!”
Anan roared, “A wandering cultivator dares to kill someone from my Immortal Treasure Pavilion? Are you mocking my intelligence? Speak! Who are you?”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. “I’m your father, how’s that?”
Anan was furious. “You dare insult me? You…”
Ye Xuan exploded, “Old thief, I’m not just insulting you—I’m going to beat you to death!”
With that, he vanished from his spot!
In the distance, Anan’s expression changed. He threw a fierce punch.
*Boom!*
A burst of white light erupted, and Anan was blasted back tens of thousands of feet. When he stopped, his physical body shattered, leaving only his soul!
One sword had obliterated his body!
Anan was stunned.
Ye Xuan was also stunned. He looked at Anan, bewildered. “You’re not in the Infinite Realm?”
Anan looked at Ye Xuan, equally confused. “You’re in the Infinite Realm?”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Only now did he realize this old man wasn’t even in the Eternal Immortal Realm—just a Supreme Realm cultivator.
*Wasn’t this place supposed to be crawling with Infinite Realm experts?*
Anan’s voice trembled. “Young Master… Are you in the Infinite Realm?”
Ye Xuan looked at Anan, about to strike, when Anan suddenly dropped to his knees with a thud. “Senior, I was blind and failed to recognize greatness. Please forgive me!”
Ye Xuan looked at him. “I killed your son!”
Anan hurriedly said, “He deserved it! He offended you, Senior, and got what was coming!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
*Justice?*
At this moment, Ye Xuan’s heart was filled with complex emotions.
All justice in this world was built on the foundation of strength!
With strength, others would beg to reason with you!
Anan added, “Senior, please be magnanimous…”
*Swish!*
Before he could finish, a sword pierced his brow!
The next moment, Anan was absorbed by the Qingxuan Sword!
Completely erased!
Sang Yu glanced at Ye Xuan, a trace of wariness in her eyes.
Ye Xuan looked at her and smiled. “Do you think I’m cruel?”
Sang Yu hesitated, then said, “Do you want the truth or a lie?”
Ye Xuan laughed. “Let’s hear the lie first!”
Sang Yu said gravely, “If you’re not ruthless, you can’t stand firm. What you did was reasonable. I’d have done the same!”
Ye Xuan was curious. “And the truth?”
Sang Yu looked at him. “Are you playing the pig to eat the tiger just to show off?”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
Sang Yu hesitated, then said, “Those things you said to me earlier—were they all lies? Or just something you said on a whim, right?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “If I hadn’t acted, what would have happened to you?”
Sang Yu was silent.
Ye Xuan laughed. “Miss Sang Yu, could you give me some information about the Great Desolate Ancient Realm?”
Sang Yu quickly handed him a storage ring. As Ye Xuan reached for Star God Veins, she hurriedly said, “No, no need!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “That won’t do! I’m a man of principles!”
He opened his palm, and a storage ring floated to Sang Yu.
Sang Yu looked at it but didn’t take it. At this moment, she was still somewhat afraid of Ye Xuan.
Killing without a second thought!
Not even a hint of hesitation!
Terrifying!
Ye Xuan smiled, placed the ring in her hand, and turned to leave. As if remembering something, he added, “If the Immortal Treasure Pavilion gives you trouble, tell them to come find me. My name’s Ye Xuan!”
With that, he vanished at the edge of the distant horizon.
Sang Yu watched him go, murmuring, “Sword cultivator… Ye Xuan…”
…
At the edge of the starry void, Small Tower suddenly asked, “Little Master, where to now?”
Ye Xuan stopped and surveyed his surroundings, his expression serious.
The Great Desolate Ancient Realm!
From the information Sang Yu provided, he learned this was a peculiar world!
There were no factions here!
The population was extremely sparse, but the realm was filled with ancient ruins.
In short, this place had once been glorious, but for unknown reasons, its civilizations vanished. The ancient superpowers here had turned into ruins and secret realms!
This place was a graveyard for ancient martial civilizations!
Qinglian had called it dangerous because some ancient ruins’ powerhouses had awakened, and the realm was home to a dangerous creature: the Spirit Demon!
A peculiar being, neither fully demon nor beast, that fed on living souls!
*Fed on living souls!*
Ye Xuan suddenly thought of Er Ya!
Er Ya also liked devouring souls… Though, according to Small Tower, after going to the Milky Way, Er Ya had developed a taste for its cuisine!
Ye Xuan shook his head. If no one kept Er Ya in check, wouldn’t she eat her way through the myriad realms?
And with the Three Swords absent, there might be no one to stop her!
Ye Xuan refocused and scanned his surroundings. “This place is vast. To find Little An and Sister Nian, we’ll need the Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s help…”
He was about to head to the pavilion when his brows furrowed. He turned around.
Not far away stood a creature, humanoid but with wings and deep purple pupils.
A Spirit Demon!
Ye Xuan had already guessed its identity!
The Spirit Demon stared at him, its eyes gleaming with excitement, as if it had found a delicacy. But it didn’t attack, seemingly wary.
Ye Xuan asked, “Something up?”
A trace of greed flashed in the Spirit Demon’s eyes. “Blood…”
The next moment, it vanished and threw a punch at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan frowned. *What the hell?*
Without a word, he drew his sword and slashed.
*Swish!*
A burst of sword light tore through, blasting the Spirit Demon thousands of feet away. As it stopped, a sword pierced its brow, pinning it in place!
At that moment, a furious roar echoed from a distant mountain peak. “Human, if you dare harm him, I…”
Ye Xuan opened his palm and swept it. The Spirit Demon’s head flew off!
He looked toward the distant horizon, his expression calm. “I’ve got a bit of a temper. Don’t threaten me, or… I’ll wipe out your Spirit Demon clan!”
…
