Ye Xuan was stunned!
*Just like that, she killed him?*
In his impression, Qin Guan had a great temperament and rarely got angry, so he never expected her to actually kill Qianji!
Not only Ye Xuan, but Qianmu was also petrified on the spot!
*She just killed him like that?*
*No face given at all?*
After Shenxiu slew Qianji, her gaze fell on Qianmu, her expression unkind.
Qianmu turned to Qin Guan, his face grim. “Pavilion Master Qin, was this really necessary?”
Qin Guan smiled faintly. “City Lord Qianmu, I brought my friend to the Great Thousand Domain, yet your son secretly investigated him and even had his men deliberately cause trouble for him…”
She shook her head. “City Lord Qianmu, I really dislike this.”
Qianmu stared at her, barely containing his rage. “Did he deserve death?”
Qin Guan sighed softly. “City Lord Qianmu, when I founded the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, you offered some conveniences. If not for that, I wouldn’t have stepped in today! Do you think I intervened to harm you and Qianji City?”
She shook her head again. “I was saving you and your city.”
The crowd: “…”
They couldn’t help but find her words bizarre!
Killing someone’s son and claiming it was for their own good?
At that moment, Little Tower sighed softly, “Terrifying…”
Only it understood Qin Guan’s intent!
If Qianji hadn’t died, the conflict between him and Ye Xuan would’ve escalated. Qianji, an arrogant second-generation heir, would never back down.
Once the conflict grew, only one side—Qianji City or Ye Xuan—would survive!
Ye Xuan also grasped her meaning. He stepped beside her, gently tugging her sleeve, a bit displeased. “The way you put it makes me sound like a bad guy!”
Qin Guan blinked. “I know the whole story! The Spirit Demon Clan started trouble with you, Qianji City wanted to curry favor with the Lord of the Five Elements, and Qianji, as you said, was testing you, stirring up trouble to gauge your strength. If your background was average, he’d keep targeting you, even kill you!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Qin Guan turned to Qianmu. “City Lord Qianmu, if you’re unconvinced, you can act now. The Immortal Treasure Pavilion will see it through!”
Qianmu was silent for a long time before saying, “Pavilion Master Qin, you misunderstand. It was just a misunderstanding, and now that it’s cleared up, there’s no issue!”
With that, he turned and left.
Qin Guan smiled, saying nothing more.
Ye Xuan said in a low voice, “Aren’t you afraid he’ll retaliate?”
Qin Guan laughed. “He’s not wary of me—he’s wary of Shenxiu. Her strength makes him feel threatened, so he doesn’t dare act!”
Ye Xuan glanced at Shenxiu, then said, “Why isn’t he wary of you? I think you’re the most dangerous!”
Qin Guan blinked. “Because I don’t cultivate! I have no realm!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then asked, “You really can’t fight?”
Qin Guan nodded. “Nope! But I know all about realms, even beyond them. Plus, I’m working on new realms, creating a complete cultivation system!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan added, “Actually, many don’t know I have plenty of highly destructive treasures!”
Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Why not?”
Qin Guan blinked. “Because those who knew are mostly dead! Except you, of course!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
At that moment, the Spirit Demon Clan’s leader, Mu Xu, tried to slip away. Ye Xuan turned to him. “Trying to leave?”
Mu Xu glared at him. “What, you want to kill me too?”
Ye Xuan grinned. “Isn’t that obvious?”
As his voice fell, he vanished from his spot.
*Whoosh!*
A streak of sword light tore through the air!
In the distance, Mu Xu’s eyes narrowed. “Just you?”
With that, he disappeared as well.
*Boom!*
A burst of sword light exploded in the arena, and both men were flung back!
But as Ye Xuan was thrown, his Qingxuan Sword vanished from his hand!
Far off, Mu Xu’s pupils shrank. He smashed his right fist forward, unleashing a terrifying force.
*Boom!*
The sword light twisted, and the Qingxuan Sword was knocked back to Ye Xuan, but Mu Xu’s right hand was shredded, exposing bone!
Mu Xu glanced at his mangled hand, a feral glint in his eyes. He looked at Ye Xuan, slowly raising his left hand. The surrounding starry sky began to boil!
At that moment, mysterious powerhouses appeared in the shadows, sealing the surrounding space-time.
A battle of this level, if not contained, could shatter the Great Thousand Domain!
The destructive power was immense!
In the distance, Ye Xuan stood with his sword, the Qingxuan Sword trembling slightly.
Mu Xu’s eyes flashed with savagery. “Die!”
His left hand slammed forward.
*Boom!*
A terrifying force poured from the space-time above Ye Xuan, instantly pulverizing the area he stood in!
But at that moment, Ye Xuan struck!
*Three Swords as One!*
And all three were in their transformative state!
As the swords emerged, Qin Guan’s eyes lit up in the distance. “Interesting!”
*Boom!*
A surge of sword light erupted before Ye Xuan, tearing through everything. The sealed space-time shattered, and a figure was sent reeling back!
It was Mu Xu!
He retreated tens of thousands of feet, but as he stopped, a sword pierced his brow without warning!
*Whoosh!*
Mu Xu’s body froze.
Defeated!
Ye Xuan looked at him, ready to let the Qingxuan Sword absorb his soul, when a terrifying aura suddenly appeared. The sword in Mu Xu’s body was forced out by a mysterious power, and Mu Xu was sucked into a black vortex.
At the same time, a shadowy figure coalesced in the sky!
Ye Xuan frowned at the figure.
“The Lord of the Five Elements!” Elder Zhang, who had been silent, spoke up.
The Lord of the Five Elements!
On par with the Lord of Time!
Ye Xuan stared at the figure, silent.
The Lord of the Five Elements glared at him. “You’re arrogant!”
Ye Xuan laughed. “What’s that supposed to mean? Weren’t your people the ones trying to kill me?”
The Lord gave him a cold look. “You may claim the Heavenly Pulse, but you won’t live to enjoy it!”
With that, he glanced at Qin Guan and left.
Shenxiu frowned, her sword trembling in its sheath, ready to act, but Qin Guan stopped her.
Qin Guan smiled. “Forget it! We have bigger things to do!”
She turned to Ye Xuan. “I’ve noticed flaws in your cultivation. If you’re willing, I can discuss them with you and help boost your realm and strength!”
Ye Xuan quickly said, “Of course, I don’t mind!”
Qin Guan smiled. “Follow me!”
She turned to leave.
But Shenxiu tried to slip away. Qin Guan glanced at her. “Where are you going?”
Shenxiu hesitated, then said, “To eat!”
Qin Guan glared at her. “You’re going to kill the Lord of the Five Elements, aren’t you?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Shenxiu said in a low voice, “When he left, he glanced at you with a trace of killing intent.”
Qin Guan rolled her eyes. “So you’re going to kill him?”
Shenxiu nodded.
Qin Guan nodded slightly. “Shenxiu, one last time: without my orders, don’t act on your own or think you’re invincible. There are many stronger than you. Your impulsiveness could get you killed if you meet a true powerhouse, understand?”
Shenxiu nodded slightly. “Understood.”
Qin Guan sighed softly, turning to Ye Xuan. “Young Master Ye…”
Ye Xuan laughed. “Just call me Ye Xuan. ‘Young Master’ feels so formal.”
Qin Guan smiled. “Alright, I’ll call you Ye Xuan, and you can call me Qin Guan.”
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “I remember you said Qin Guan is your full name, right?”
Qin Guan nodded.
Ye Xuan quickly asked, “What’s your nickname?”
Qin Guan smiled. “Sifan! Qin Sifan!”
Ye Xuan blinked. “Can I call you Sifan? You don’t mind, do you?”
Qin Guan hesitated, then said, “I think… you should stick to my full name!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Alright, I’ll do as you say!”
Qin Guan smiled. “Let’s go!”
She led Ye Xuan away.
On the way, she suddenly said, “I saw you use three swords—one for the past, one for the future, one for the present, right?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Please guide me, Miss Qin!”
Qin Guan nodded. “I have a way to make those three swords at least ten times stronger!”
Ye Xuan’s expression froze.
*Ten times?*
Qin Guan said earnestly, “I’m not lying. You don’t understand space-time deeply enough. If you did, those three swords would be incredibly powerful.”
Ye Xuan said solemnly, “Please teach me, Miss Qin!”
Qin Guan smiled. “Space-time is the union of time and space, divided into past, present, and future space-time. These exist because of a river of time. But do you know the essence of the river of time?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “No idea!”
Qin Guan smiled faintly. “Its essence is still space-time!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qin Guan laughed. “The so-called river of time is formed by space-time. It’s like a hen—where does it come from? It hatches from an egg. Where does the egg come from? The hen lays it. Do you understand what I mean?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
