Above the Heavenly Demon Clan, seeing Ye Xuan demand cosmic veins, the clan warriors’ faces darkened instantly!
Cosmic veins?
Was the Great Dao Pen greedy for wealth?
That didn’t make sense!
What would a pen need cosmic veins for?
Could it be Ye Xuan trying to extort them?
At this thought, the Heavenly Demon Clan warriors’ expressions grew grim. Damn it, this kid was clearly trying to blackmail their clan! But they were furious yet不敢言, as the tribulation thunder still loomed, and they were unsure of Ye Xuan’s relationship with the Great Dao Pen. Did they know each other or not?
At that moment, Ye Xuan, in the sky, frowned suddenly, “What, you want your clan wiped out?”
The Heavenly Demon Clan warriors glared at Ye Xuan coldly, silent.
Ye Xuan turned to the tribulation thunder, “Brother Pen…”
The thunder vanished abruptly.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan’s face sank. Damn, the Great Dao Pen didn’t give him any face!
How embarrassing!
Damn it!
Ye Xuan’s face was incredibly grim…
Seeing the thunder disappear, the Heavenly Demon Clan warriors looked at Ye Xuan with growing hostility. Clearly, the Great Dao Pen didn’t want cosmic veins; this kid was trying to extort their clan!
Utterly shameless!
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly gave Dao Ling and the others a look. The next moment, they vanished into the starry horizon.
The Heavenly Demon Clan warriors wanted to chase but hesitated, wary of something. Ye Xuan’s strength wasn’t weak; chasing him might mean going out alive but not coming back!
Just then, a terrifying aura spread through the area.
Everyone turned to see a beautiful woman approaching slowly.
She wore a black gown, her figure voluptuous, her expression icy.
Seeing her, all the Heavenly Demon Clan warriors’ faces changed, and they hurriedly bowed, “Greetings, Clan Leader!”
Clan Leader!
This was the current leader of the Heavenly Demon Clan, Yao Lian!
She was the one behind the incident with Tian Qi.
Yao Lian gazed into the starry depths, her face expressionless, her eyes chillingly cold.
After a moment, she said, “Send word, have the Second God and Ming Yao return to the clan immediately!”
With that, she turned and left.
…
Half an hour later, Yao Lian arrived alone at an Immortal Treasure Pavilion in the Heavenly Demon God Realm. The clan had always had a good relationship with this branch.
As Yao Lian entered the hall, a woman greeted her, the branch president, Cang Yue!
Cang Yue smiled, “What brings you here?”
Yao Lian walked up to Cang Yue and got straight to the point, “I want all the information on that young man!”
Cang Yue’s smile faded instantly.
Yao Lian frowned, “Is that difficult?”
Cang Yue sighed softly, “Yes!”
Yao Lian said gravely, “We’re sisters, and you won’t help with this?”
Cang Yue glanced at her, “If I didn’t want to help, I’d have left this mess long ago!”
She glanced aside, and the maids nearby quickly retreated.
Cang Yue said gravely, “That young man, Ye Xuan, is a super VIP of our Immortal Treasure Pavilion. From what I know, he has a close relationship with our Pavilion Master. As for what that relationship is, I don’t know. I only know the Pavilion Master treats him differently from others!”
She looked at Yao Lian, saying seriously, “I suggest you don’t make an enemy of him!”
Yao Lian’s expression grew colder, “It’s not me making an enemy of him, it’s him making an enemy of my Heavenly Demon Clan!”
Cang Yue sighed softly, saying nothing.
Yao Lian added, “Help me one last time. I want all his information and everything about the force behind him!”
Cang Yue shook her head immediately.
Yao Lian frowned, “You won’t help?”
Cang Yue said gravely, “It’s not that I won’t help, but I don’t have the authority to investigate his background! At my level, I have no clearance to look into his affairs!”
Yao Lian frowned, “That mysterious?”
Cang Yue nodded, “Extraordinarily mysterious!”
She looked at Yao Lian, saying earnestly, “Yao Lian, I genuinely advise you not to oppose him. This person is terrifyingly mysterious. If you persist, I fear you’ll face great calamity!”
Yao Lian’s expression grew colder, “Is that so? I’d like to see just who he is!”
With that, she turned and left.
Cang Yue wanted to persuade her further, but Yao Lian gave her no chance, vanishing into the distant horizon.
In the hall, Cang Yue fell silent.
An elder appeared beside her, saying gravely, “President…”
Cang Yue closed her eyes slowly, murmuring, “The Heavenly Demon Clan is likely doomed!”
The elder was shocked, “Why do you say that, President?”
Cang Yue looked into the distant horizon, saying softly, “I have the authority to investigate the Heavenly Demon Clan, but not the force behind that young man…”
The elder understood instantly.
Cang Yue suddenly said, “Contact Ye Xuan discreetly, express our goodwill…”
The elder hesitated, then said, “And the Heavenly Demon Clan…”
Cang Yue’s expression was calm, “There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Whoever’s stronger, that’s who we’re friends with!”
With that, she turned and left.
The elder: “…”
…
Elsewhere, in the starry sky, after Ye Xuan and his group escaped, seeing the Heavenly Demon Clan didn’t pursue, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
They’d nearly been ganged up on!
At that moment, Tian Qi suddenly said, “Big brother… I…”
Ye Xuan looked at Tian Qi, “What’s wrong?”
Tian Qi turned towards the Heavenly Demon Clan’s direction, his gaze dazed, “A familiar… scent…”
Familiar!
Ye Xuan and the others exchanged glances. The familiar scent Tian Qi mentioned was likely his mother.
Mother!
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Tian Qi lowered his head, saying nothing more.
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Tian Qi, our current strength can’t take on the entire Heavenly Demon Clan…”
Tian Qi suddenly looked at Ye Xuan, “I… know… I don’t want to drag26/03/2025 drag you all into it. But… you’re the only ones I know…”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Don’t worry, Tian Qi. Your business is our business!”
Dao Ling nodded, “Tian Qi, rest assured! With Brother Ye here, any problem can be solved!”
Tian Qi shook his head, “I… don’t want to drag you all down…”
His hands clenched slowly, his eyes full of determination, “I… must get stronger!”
Get stronger!
Ye Xuan was about to speak when he suddenly turned. In the distant starry depths, space split open, and a beautiful woman in a black gown stepped out!
It was Yao Lian, the Heavenly Demon Clan Leader!
Beside her were two black-robed elders with unfathomable auras, and behind them stood nine others!
All nine were Reincarnation Traveler realm powerhouses!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan frowned. The Heavenly Demon Clan’s powerhouses had pursued them after all!
Yao Lian looked at Ye Xuan, “What’s your relationship with the Great Dao Pen!”
Ye Xuan grinned, “Good buddies!”
Yao Lian’s expression was icy, “Don’t play slick with me, alright?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then said, “You’re the woman who stripped Tian Qi of his Demon God bloodline?”
Yao Lian’s expression was calm, “Yes!”
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, “How vicious!”
Yao Lian stared at Ye Xuan, “This had nothing to do with you, but you insisted on meddling. In that case, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
As her voice fell, she vanished from her spot.
Rip!
Before Ye Xuan, space split open, and a strange shadow rushed out!
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed. He drew his sword and slashed.
Boom!
A burst of sword light shattered, and Ye Xuan was blasted tens of thousands of feet away!
As he stopped, he glanced at his right hand. His sword was completely shattered, and his entire right arm was cracked, exposing white bone, utterly horrifying.
Ye Xuan looked at Yao Lian in the distance, his eyes growing serious. This woman’s strength was far more terrifying than the Heavenly Demon King’s!
Yao Lian stared coldly at Ye Xuan, her right hand slowly clenching. A terrifying force gathered from all directions, instantly making the entire galaxy boil!
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, his right hand tightly gripping his sword, a powerful force surging from his body into the blade.
At that moment, Yao Lian vanished.
Boom!
A demon beast’s roar echoed through the starry sky.
Boom!
Instantly, Dao Ling and the others’ faces changed drastically. The roar had torn their eardrums and damaged their organs!
Ignoring their injuries, they looked at Ye Xuan in the distance. At that moment, Ye Xuan opened his eyes and slashed!
Void-Slaying Sword!
With one slash, all returned to nothingness!
Boom!
The starry sky before Ye Xuan was erased, and a terrifying force erupted.
Boom!
Ye Xuan, with his sword, was thrown back tens of thousands of feet. As he stopped, a colossal hand descended from above.
Boom!
The starry sky above Ye Xuan burst into flames.
Below, Ye Xuan flicked his thumb.
Buzz!
A sword cry shot skyward, slashing at the giant hand.
Boom!
The hand was erased instantly!
Seeing this, Yao Lian’s eyes narrowed, “What kind of sword technique is that!”
From a distance, Ye Xuan wiped blood from his mouth, grinned, and said, “Let me stab you, and you’ll find out!”
Yao Lian flew into a rage, “Shameless, despicable! I’ll castrate you!”
Ye Xuan froze.
What the hell did I say?
How am I shameless and despicable?
