Ye Xuan was stunned.
In the arena, the powerful members of the Shi Clan were also stunned!
Especially the leading Time Realm experts, they were utterly dumbfounded.
They just knelt like that?
At first, the Time Realm experts were furious.
But soon, their anger gradually faded, turning into deep helplessness.
Helplessness!
In truth, having fought this far, how could they not know that this Young Master Ye before them was not someone the Shi Clan could afford to provoke?
Even if Ye Xuan were defeated this time and his head was placed before them, they wouldn’t dare to strike!
Leaving aside Pavilion Master Qin from before, the person who forged Ye Xuan’s sword and the origin of Ye Xuan’s bloodline were absolutely beyond what the Shi Clan could withstand.
The war between Ye Xuan and the Shi Clan was destined to be a loss for the Shi Clan from the very start!
This was a super prodigy with powerful backing!
If you couldn’t beat him, he’d beat you to death. If you could beat him, the people behind him would beat you to death! No matter how you fought, the outcome was death!
Thinking of this, the eyes of the Time Realm experts were filled with helplessness.
The six of them weren’t afraid of death. Having lived this long, they wanted to live longer, but that didn’t mean they feared death!
But they feared the annihilation of the Shi Clan!
Pride?
No one didn’t want pride, but compared to the survival of the Shi Clan, what was personal pride worth?
Nearby, Shi Qian looked at Ye Xuan, “Young Master Ye, our Shi Clan admits its mistake.”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “You don’t need to do this. I’ve decided now to fight for the Great Dao’s fortune on my own. I won’t rely on my father or my sister, truly!”
Shi Qian nodded, “I understand, I understand everything!”
Ye Xuan was somewhat speechless, “I’ve really decided to fight for the Great Dao’s fortune myself! If you fight me and I lose, I absolutely won’t call for help, truly.”
Shi Qian nodded, “I understand, we all understand. But we won’t fight! Please, Young Master Ye, show mercy and spare our Shi Clan!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
At that moment, Shi Tian suddenly appeared in the arena, slowly walking to Shi Qian and helping him up.
Shi Qian shook his head, “Clan Leader, we were wrong! We were all wrong.”
Shi Tian said softly, “Our Shi Clan has already paid a price!”
With that, he turned to look at Ye Xuan and Dao Ling beside him. Just as he was about to speak, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Shi Tian, during Dao Ling’s battle with you, Shi Yuan suddenly intervened. Do you think that was fair?”
Shi Tian shook his head, “It wasn’t fair!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “The two of us came to challenge you. We had no intention of being enemies with the Shi Clan, but the Shi Clan, fearing us, mobilized the entire clan to hunt us down. Do you think that was justified?”
Shi Tian looked at Ye Xuan, “It wasn’t justified!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Then if we two were to destroy your Shi Clan, wouldn’t that be reasonable?”
Shi Tian nodded, “If it were me, I’d do the same!”
Ye Xuan said, “Then you should all take your own lives!”
Dao Ling: “…”
Shi Tian and the others were suddenly dumbfounded.
What the hell?
Ye Xuan said calmly, “Anyone with a shred of shame would take their own life!”
He turned to Dao Ling, “Don’t you agree?”
Dao Ling hesitated, then said, “Yes!”
After saying that, he suddenly felt a pang in his heart.
Conscience!
Ye Xuan suddenly sent a telepathic message, “Brother Dao Ling, how did your fight with Shi Tian go?”
Dao Ling was silent for a moment, then said, “He’s very strong. I couldn’t defeat him, and he couldn’t defeat me! But I feel he wasn’t using his full strength!”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “Got it!”
In the distance, Shi Tian suddenly said, “Brother Ye, Brother Dao Ling, I’m deeply sorry for this matter. The Shi Clan went too far, and I’m willing to apologize on behalf of the Shi Clan to both of you!”
He paused, then added, “To express our apology, I’m willing to share the relic of a Time Immortal with you two.”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, “The relic of a Time Immortal?”
Shi Tian nodded, about to speak, when suddenly the three in the arena looked up. The next moment, a terrifying divine thunder swept down from the sky, targeting Ye Xuan, Dao Ling, and Shi Tian!
As the divine thunder appeared, the expressions of all three changed drastically!
It was too terrifying!
And the target of this divine thunder was the three of them!
Someone wanted to kill them!
Who?
The three had no time to think. They immediately shot into the sky.
The next moment—
Boom!
The divine thunder suddenly exploded, but Ye Xuan, Dao Ling, and Shi Tian were simultaneously blasted back hundreds of thousands of feet. As soon as they stopped, their physical bodies shattered instantly.
Seeing this, all three were stunned!
What the hell?
Ye Xuan looked up at the far end of the starry sky, where he saw a shadowy figure holding a bolt of thunder.
Ye Xuan said in a low voice, “Do you know him?”
Shi Tian shook his head.
Dao Ling also shook his head.
In the starry sky, the shadowy figure looked down at the three, his expression cold. The divine thunder in his palm suddenly shot out.
Sss!
In an instant, the entire galaxy ignited!
Seeing this, the expressions of Ye Xuan, Dao Ling, and Shi Tian changed drastically. Ye Xuan suddenly shouted, “Run!”
With that, he turned and vanished at the edge of the horizon.
Dao Ling and Shi Tian were momentarily stunned, but the next moment, they came to their senses and turned to flee!
However, the thunder pursued them like a maggot on a bone!
Wherever the thunder passed, everything was destroyed, including the power of time!
In the starry sky, Ye Xuan, Dao Ling, and Shi Tian pushed their speed to the limit, but the thunder drew closer and closer!
Ye Xuan said in a low voice, “If we keep running like this, it’ll catch up!”
Dao Ling looked at Ye Xuan, “Any ideas?”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Shi Tian hesitated, then said, “Fight it head-on?”
Ye Xuan looked at Shi Tian, “You go first!”
Shi Tian quickly shook his head, “Tch… we need to go together!”
Ye Xuan said in a low voice, “That person’s strength far surpasses the three of us. We were careless just now, and our bodies were destroyed. Going together now would just be sending ourselves to die! The priority is to find a safe place!”
Shi Tian hurriedly asked, “What place is safe?”
Ye Xuan said, “We’re here!”
As his voice fell, they had arrived at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!
Upon arriving, the masked old man appeared before Ye Xuan, Dao Ling, and Shi Tian. When he saw the thunder behind them, his expression changed drastically, “Bloody hell… Young Master Ye, what have you done?”
Ye Xuan was a bit stunned, “Senior, what are you talking about? I don’t understand! The three of us just came to buy something…”
The masked old man angrily pointed behind Ye Xuan, “That divine thunder…”
Ye Xuan quickly said, “It’s got nothing to do with us. It might be here to cause trouble for you!”
The masked old man: “…”
Ye Xuan, Dao Ling, and Shi Tian slipped into the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!
In place, the masked old man roared, “Activate the formation!”
As his voice fell, a massive light curtain enveloped the Immortal Treasure Pavilion.
The divine thunder struck.
Boom!
The massive light curtain trembled violently, then shattered, and the entire Immortal Treasure Pavilion cracked but didn’t completely collapse!
Inside the pavilion, Ye Xuan, Dao Ling, and Shi Tian were filled with shock.
Dao Ling said in a low voice, “So terrifying!”
Shi Tian nodded, still shaken, “Really fierce…”
He looked at Ye Xuan with some concern, “Brother Ye, if this Immortal Treasure Pavilion can’t hold it back, what then?”
Ye Xuan picked up a teacup from the table, took a sip, and said, “Go to the next one!”
Shi Tian: “…”
Dao Ling: “…”
Ye Xuan turned to the two, “Do you have any other ideas?”
Both shook their heads in unison, saying, “We’ll follow Brother Ye!”
Outside the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, the masked old man looked at the shadowy figure in the depths of the starry sky, his expression grave, “Sir, this is the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!”
The Immortal Treasure Pavilion!
Hearing this, the shadowy figure’s right hand suddenly clenched tightly!
Qin Guan!
He had fought that woman before, and at that time, his Ten Thousand Tribulations Body had been shattered!
The shadowy figure wanted to act but seemed hesitant.
He was wary of Qin Guan.
That flamboyant woman!
After a moment, the shadowy figure said in a low voice, “I’m after those three. Have them come out!”
In the end, he didn’t dare to act!
The masked old man hesitated, then said, “Please wait a moment!”
With that, he quickly turned and entered the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, approaching Ye Xuan, Dao Ling, and Shi Tian with a wry smile, “Young Master Ye…”
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “Senior, you said before that you and Miss Qin Guan wouldn’t interfere in the Great Dao’s fortune contest, right?”
The masked old man nodded quickly, “Yes! We’re not getting involved in this Great Dao’s fortune contest, so, Young Master Ye, you see…”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, “Senior, what does that person have to do with the Great Dao’s fortune contest?”
The masked old man’s expression froze.
Ye Xuan took out the Mysterious Heaven Token and said, “Senior, as far as I know, with this token, one can receive the protection of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, correct?”
The masked old man nodded, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan handed the token to the old man, “Senior…”
The masked old man gave a wry smile, “Young Master Ye, I can’t beat that person, not at all. In our Immortal Treasure Pavilion, only Pavilion Master Qin can defeat him!”
Ye Xuan said, “Half an hour. Stall him for half an hour, and after that, the three of us will leave!”
The masked old man looked troubled.
Ye Xuan sighed softly and turned to Dao Ling and Shi Tian, “Let’s go!”
With that, he got up to leave.
Dao Ling and Shi Tian hesitated, then followed.
The three walked very slowly!
Beside Ye Xuan, Dao Ling suddenly sent a telepathic message, “Brother Ye, are we really leaving?”
Ye Xuan said, “He’ll stop us!”
Dao Ling nodded, “Good!”
As they neared the door, the masked old man still hadn’t spoken.
Dao Ling hesitated, then said, “Brother Ye, it seems he has no intention of stopping us. What now?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Soon, the three stepped out the door. As they did, they saw the shadowy figure at the edge of the horizon, holding a thunderbolt in each hand.
Seeing this, their expressions changed slightly.
Dao Ling said in a low voice, “Brother Ye…”
Ye Xuan said, “Go back!”
Dao Ling hesitated, then said, “Isn’t that a bit too embarrassing?”
Ye Xuan said calmly, “Embarrassment or death, you choose!”
With that, he turned back.
Dao Ling hesitated, then turned back as well.
Embarrassment was better!
Shi Tian watched the two head back, hesitating. It was really hard to swallow his pride.
At that moment, the shadowy figure’s gaze locked onto Shi Tian, and an invisible pressure enveloped him. Sensing the terrifying force of that pressure, Shi Tian immediately turned back.
Damn it!
Pride wasn’t worth keeping!
