Gone?
Still standing there, Ye Xuan was in a daze.
His heartfelt speech just now seemed to have been for nothing!
As if struck by a thought, Ye Xuan hurriedly looked at the sword in his hand. The sword was three feet long, two fingers wide, pitch black, with a thin blade and a dark red tip. In terms of appearance, it wasn’t particularly striking.
Ye Xuan examined it closely, channeling his mysterious energy.
The sword trembled slightly.
Buzz!
A sword hum shot into the sky, piercing deep into the starry expanse.
Soon, Ye Xuan frowned slightly, realizing the sword had no spirit!
A sword without a spirit!
That shouldn’t be!
Ye Xuan studied it further, finally accepting the truth.
It really was a spiritless sword!
Ye Xuan was speechless.
Was this the sword his father specially sought for him?
He was starting to doubt that.
At that moment, Elder Jun gave a slight bow, “Young Master, any other instructions?”
Ye Xuan snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Elder Jun. After a moment’s thought, he said, “Do you have any money?”
Elder Jun’s expression froze.
Ye Xuan quickly added, “Borrow! It’s a loan, not a gift. You can get reimbursed by my dad later!”
Elder Jun was speechless.
Reimbursed?
Reimbursed, my foot!
Who didn’t know the relationship between the Young Master and the Sword Master? If he lent money, would the Sword Master cover it?
If the Sword Master didn’t acknowledge it and the Young Master played rogue… wouldn’t his cosmic veins go down the drain?
This deal was a no-go!
Elder Jun thought for a moment, then said, “Young Master… I don’t have many cosmic veins, but since you need them, I’m willing to give you a million as a personal gift!”
He quickly added, “This is a gift, no need to repay!”
Better to give than lend, since it wouldn’t be repaid anyway. Giving it might earn some favor!
Hearing Elder Jun’s words, Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “This… just giving it to me, isn’t that a bit improper?”
Elder Jun was silent.
If you know it’s improper, don’t take it!
At that moment, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Since it’s Elder Jun’s kind gesture, wouldn’t refusing hurt your feelings?”
With that, he extended his right hand.
Elder Jun was speechless. You won’t hurt my feelings, but my heart aches!
Elder Jun was straightforward, taking out a storage ring and handing it to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan glanced at it, quickly took it, and gave a slight bow, “Elder Jun, thank you! When I see my dad, I’ll make sure he repays you!”
Elder Jun blurted out, “He won’t repay…”
Realizing his slip, he quickly corrected, “I mean, no need to repay, no need!”
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, “Senior, thank you!”
Elder Jun nodded, “Young Master, take care!”
With that, he prepared to leave.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Senior, can you point me in a direction?”
Elder Jun was silent for a moment, then said, “Go to the Realm of Gods, that’s the stage for young masters like you. Here, it’s all small-time, meaningless.”
He took out a scroll and handed it to Ye Xuan, “This is a map of the Realm of Gods!”
Ye Xuan took the map, smiling, “Thank you!”
Elder Jun smiled faintly, whispering, “The Mysterious Sect is there. Young Master can go straight to claim your inheritance… Young Master, until we meet again.”
With that, he gave a slight bow and vanished into the depths of the starry sky.
Claim the inheritance?
Ye Xuan blinked. No more getting beaten up?
At that moment, twenty terrifyingly powerful figures appeared beside Ye Xuan.
The leader, a mysterious figure, gave a slight bow, “Young Master, in one hour, we’ll return to report.”
Clearly, they were left to deal with the Demon Sky Clan.
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment, then turned to the Demon Lotus in the distance. Her expression was calm, lost in thought.
Seeing Ye Xuan’s gaze, her face changed drastically.
She knew the Demon Sky Clan’s survival hung on this young man’s whim.
Admittedly, it was somewhat tragic. She never imagined her life would one day depend on someone else’s decision!
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Where’s Tian Qi’s mother?”
The Demon Lotus quickly turned, “Bring her!”
A Demon Sky Clan member hurriedly left, and soon, a woman was brought to the scene.
The woman looked pale and frail. When she saw Tian Qi, she froze, then trembled, tears streaming down her face.
Tian Qi looked at her, hands clenched, tears glinting in his eyes.
The woman shakily walked to Tian Qi, reaching out a trembling hand toward his face. Just before touching him, she suddenly hugged him tightly.
Tears poured from her eyes like a broken dam.
Silent weeping.
Nearby, the Demon Lotus remained calm, lost in thought.
Tian Qi’s body was stiff, uncomfortable at first, but gradually, he hugged her back.
After a long while, the woman turned to Ye Xuan, softly saying, “Thank you!”
She knew the Demon Lotus had compromised because of this man.
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, looking at the Demon Lotus, who gave a slight bow, “Young Master Ye…”
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Kill her!”
The Demon Lotus froze.
Ye Xuan blinked, “You didn’t think a simple apology would make me let you go, did you? Don’t joke, if apologies worked, why would I bother cultivating?”
As his voice fell, the powerhouses beside him charged forward.
In the distance, the Demon Lotus’s expression was eerily calm.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan frowned slightly.
At that moment, the Demon Lotus vanished.
Gone?
Ye Xuan was stunned.
The lead elder beside him suddenly said, “Young Master, she fled when the Sword Master left. What we saw was her illusion.”
Ye Xuan said gravely, “Can you track her?”
The elder scanned the surroundings and shook his head, “Can’t sense her!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
At that moment, Tian Qi’s mother suddenly said, “She’s from the Demon Phoenix God Clan!”
Ye Xuan looked at her, “Demon Phoenix God Clan?”
The woman nodded, “An ancient race, not as strong as they once were, but still formidable.”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “She won’t go back!”
The woman was silent for a moment, then softly said, “True!”
Ye Xuan glanced at the remaining Demon Sky Clan members. Seeing his gaze, their faces changed, eyes filled with fear.
After a moment’s silence, Ye Xuan looked at Tian Qi and his mother, “Tian Qi, are you staying with the Demon Sky Clan?”
Tian Qi was stunned, then looked at the woman beside him.
She tightly held his hand.
Tian Qi lowered his head slightly.
Ye Xuan walked to him, smiling, “Stay here, take good care of your mother!”
He glanced at the Demon Sky Clan members behind Tian Qi. At that moment, one hurriedly stepped forward, “From now on, Tian Qi is the leader of our Demon Sky Clan!”
Clan leader!
The other Demon Sky Clan members quickly echoed the sentiment.
They weren’t fools. They knew the only way to avoid Ye Xuan’s wrath was to make Tian Qi their leader. Only then could the Demon Sky Clan survive this crisis!
Ye Xuan coldly glanced at them, fully aware of their intentions.
But for Tian Qi’s sake, he didn’t bother pursuing it!
After all, he couldn’t slaughter them all and leave Tian Qi as a lone commander, could he?
Ye Xuan looked at Tian Qi, smiling, “Come find me in the Realm of Gods when you have time!”
With that, he turned to leave.
At that moment, Tian Qi suddenly said, “Big Brother…”
Ye Xuan turned to him. Tian Qi quickly walked up, hesitated, then handed him a storage ring. Inside were over a dozen roasted whole lambs!
Seeing this, Ye Xuan was speechless. Couldn’t you give some money instead? Lambs…
He had planned to plunder the Demon Sky Clan, since they nearly killed him, he wasn’t going to let them off easily. But for Tian Qi’s sake, he held back!
Might as well leave something for this guy!
Ye Xuan looked at the storage ring, still finding it amusing. He took it, patted Tian Qi’s shoulder, “Take care!”
With that, he and Shi Tian’s group of three turned to leave.
Watching them go, Tian Qi stared at the horizon, his gaze gradually losing focus.
At that moment, he felt an emptiness in his heart.
…
Elsewhere, in the starry sky.
Ye Xuan looked at Dao Ling and the others, smiling, “What about you guys?”
Shi Tian was silent for a moment, then said, “I’m going back to the Shi Clan to check on things. It’s been a long time!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “You should!”
He turned to Dao Ling, who grinned, “I’m going back too. I’ve been out way too long!”
Ye Xuan smiled, then looked at Jun Xie. After a moment’s silence, Jun Xie said, “I’m going to rebuild the Evil Spirit Clan!”
Ye Xuan chuckled, “So, looks like we brothers are parting ways!”
“Temporarily!”
Shi Tian suddenly said, “We’ll come find you in the Realm of Gods!”
Dao Ling added, “Yeah, hope you don’t get weaker by then!”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily, “When you guys reach the Realm of Gods, let’s spar. What do you say?”
Shi Tian grinned, “Sounds good to me!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Let’s go!”
Shi Tian gave a slight nod, “Brothers, until we meet again!”
With that, he turned and vanished at the edge of the starry sky.
Dao Ling chuckled, then walked up to Ye Xuan, saying seriously, “Brother Ye, can you lend me some cosmic veins? I’ll pay you back, I swear on my honor…”
Ye Xuan glared at him, “Get lost! Scram!”
Dao Ling: “…”
After Dao Ling was shooed away, Ye Xuan looked at Jun Xie, who smiled slightly, “Brother Ye, see you in the Realm of Gods!”
With that, he too turned and vanished.
Only Ye Xuan remained.
After a moment’s silence, he shook his head with a smile and turned to leave.
To the Realm of Gods!
For what?
To claim his inheritance!
Everyone called him a second-generation, but today, he wasn’t hiding anymore!
Time to come clean!
He was going to be a second-generation, and do it openly!
No more getting beaten up in the next world! This time, Ye Xuan was returning as a king!
Tremble, all realms!
…
