A Dong Xuan realm expert, instantly killed?
At this moment, every powerhouse in the Yan Clan of the Divine Mountain was utterly dumbfounded.
That was a Dong Xuan realm expert!
And he was just erased like that?
Completely obliterated.
In front of Ye Xuan, the black-robed figure was so terrified he was trembling!
Truly terrified!
That was an instant kill of a Dong Xuan realm expert!
How terrifying must this strength be?
Behind Ye Xuan, the woman stared intently at him—or rather, at the brush in his hand. Beneath her icy gaze, there was deep wariness!
Just then, a woman approached slowly from the distance.
It was Yan Bei.
Seeing Yan Bei, Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He had feared some clichéd plot, like arriving to find Yan Bei in some dire situation!
Thankfully, the Great Dao Brush hadn’t arranged anything so dramatic!
Great Dao Brush: “…”
Seeing Ye Xuan, Yan Bei lowered her head slightly, whispering, “What are you doing here?”
Ye Xuan walked up to her, “Didn’t I tell you? I’d come with you to the Yan Clan. Why didn’t you trust me?”
Yan Bei said softly, “I really didn’t know you were this powerful!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Now you know?”
Yan Bei looked up at him, “Why did you come for me? You already have someone you love!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “I can like a few more, can’t I?”
Everyone: “…”
Yan Bei glared at him, “How can you be like that?”
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “Let’s not discuss that now. First, let me talk with your clan!”
He turned to the still-kneeling black-robed figure, “Do you represent the Yan Clan?”
The black-robed figure shook his head hurriedly, “No, I’m not high-ranking enough… the clan leader will talk to you!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Good! Call your clan leader out!”
At that moment, a middle-aged man approached. It was Yan Nan, the Yan Clan’s leader.
Yan Nan looked at Ye Xuan, a trace of wariness in his eyes, “How may I address you?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Ye Xuan, from the Guanxuan Academy!”
Yan Nan said gravely, “My Yan Clan has no grudge with you…”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “I’ll be blunt! I’m here for Yan Bei.”
Yan Nan looked at him, and Ye Xuan smiled, “I’m taking her with me!”
Yan Nan was silent for a moment, then said, “Can I refuse?”
Ye Xuan grinned, “You can try!”
Yan Nan: “…”
The black-robed figure suddenly said, “Sir, we can reason this out!”
Ye Xuan glanced at him, “I don’t feel like reasoning today!”
Black-robed figure: “…”
Ye Xuan turned to Yan Bei, “Let’s go!”
Yan Bei hesitated.
Yan Nan suddenly said, “Sir, you’re strong, and my Yan Clan dares not stop you! But do you know, if you take her, it will bring catastrophic disaster to our clan!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “What do you mean?”
Yan Nan sighed softly, “You should know, our Yan Clan worships the Ancient Gods, and every ten years, we must offer a Goddess as a sacrifice!”
Ye Xuan looked at Yan Nan, somewhat displeased, “So you chose your daughter to be the Goddess? You’re even more twisted than my father!”
Green-Robed Man: “…”
Yan Nan gave a bitter smile, “It wasn’t my choice for Yan Bei to be the Goddess, the Ancient God chose her!”
Ye Xuan looked at Yan Bei, who nodded slightly.
Ye Xuan’s expression grew cold, “What kind of perverse Ancient God is this?”
Yan Nan’s face changed, “Sir, watch your words!”
Ye Xuan’s face was expressionless, “Where’s this so-called Ancient God? I’ll talk to it!”
Yan Nan hesitated, then said, “Are you sure?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Yan Nan made a gesture of invitation, “Please, to the mountain’s peak!”
Ye Xuan nodded.
The group headed to the peak.
On the way, Yan Bei glanced at the woman behind Ye Xuan, then said, “Why’s she following you?”
Ye Xuan was surprised, “You know her?”
Yan Bei nodded, “She’s Xiu Fan from Shura City! She had a falling out with Shura City and left.”
Shura City!
Ye Xuan glanced at Xiu Fan, not expecting her to be from Shura City.
Xiu Fan’s expression remained calm, silent.
Just then, they reached the peak. Under Yan Nan’s lead, Ye Xuan arrived before an altar, where a massive statue stood!
The statue held a long spear, exuding an imposing aura.
Yan Nan bowed respectfully to the statue, then turned to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan stepped forward. Suddenly, the statue trembled, and its eyes opened.
The statue’s gaze locked onto Ye Xuan, indifferent, as if looking at an ant.
Seeing the statue open its eyes, the Yan Clan powerhouses’ faces changed, and they slowly knelt!
Yan Bei hesitated, then looked at Ye Xuan. Seeing his faint smile, she felt an inexplicable calm, tightly holding his hand. At that moment, the Ancient God didn’t seem so terrifying.
The Ancient God suddenly spoke, “You see me and do not kneel?”
Directed at Ye Xuan!
Ye Xuan looked at the Ancient God, chuckling, “I don’t even kneel to my father, who do you think you are?”
Green-Robed Man: “…”
The Ancient God’s eyes narrowed. The sky darkened, and a terrifying pressure swept down.
It was beyond the Dong Xuan realm!
At that moment, Ye Xuan opened his palm, and a sword shot skyward!
Boom!
One sword shattered the heavens!
As it soared, the terrifying pressure in the sky vanished without a trace!
Slash Void!
Seeing this, the Ancient God frowned slightly. As it was about to speak, a sword pierced its brow.
Boom!
The statue trembled violently, then began to crack!
Ye Xuan took Yan Bei’s hand and turned to leave.
Behind, the Ancient God spoke, “Defying and blaspheming a god, even with the luck of the Great Dao, even with the Great Dao Brush itself protecting you, you will die!”
Great Dao Brush: “…”
Ye Xuan stopped, chuckling, “God? How laughable! Just a bunch of slightly stronger beings!”
The Ancient God’s voice grew colder, “You dare question the Ancient Gods!”
Ye Xuan turned to Yan Bei, “Did you once believe in this so-called Ancient God?”
Yan Bei nodded.
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, “From now on, I’ll give you a new god to believe in!”
Yan Bei was curious, “Who?”
Ye Xuan’s lips curved, “My Qing’er. From today, follow me and believe in her!”
Yan Bei hesitated, then asked, “How powerful is she?”
Ye Xuan blinked, “Don’t ask, she’s just invincible!”
He pulled Yan Bei and walked off.
Then, he turned to Yan Nan and the others, smiling, “You can believe in Qing’er too!”
Yan Nan’s face changed drastically. He glanced at the now fully cracked Ancient God statue, bowed deeply, and kowtowed, “The Yan Clan will only worship one Ancient God, forever!”
They didn’t know what opportunity they’d missed.
Hearing Yan Nan, Ye Xuan smiled faintly, then left with Yan Bei.
Yan Nan suddenly said, “From this moment, Yan Bei is no longer part of the Yan Clan!”
Yan Bei’s body trembled slightly.
Ye Xuan turned to her, smiling, “Soon, when you return, the Yan Clan will be proud of you! Trust me!”
Yan Bei nodded slightly.
The two left.
The Ancient God suddenly said, “You…”
Ye Xuan turned, his gaze icy, “Don’t waste my time. I welcome you to come for me. My name is Ye Xuan, come target me!”
As his voice fell, he slashed out with a sword.
Boom!
The statue turned to nothingness!
Yan Clan powerhouses: “…”
Ignoring them, Ye Xuan left with Yan Bei and Xiu Fan.
…
Not long after leaving the Yan Clan, a beautiful woman appeared before the trio.
Seeing her, Yan Bei immediately approached, taking her hand, “Mother…”
The woman gently adjusted Yan Bei’s messy hair, smiling faintly, then looked at Ye Xuan, “Can we talk? Just us two!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Of course!”
The woman and Ye Xuan walked off.
She suddenly said, “You instantly killed a Dong Xuan realm expert!”
Ye Xuan nodded.
She turned to him, “An Ancient God is not comparable to a Dong Xuan realm expert!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “I know!”
She looked at him for a moment, then said, “You’re very confident and charming, no wonder she likes you!”
Ye Xuan was silent.
She continued, “You’ll treat her well, right?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes!”
She stared at him, “Is that a promise?”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, “It is!”
She smiled lightly, “You’re a very, very good person, with strength, confidence, and charisma. No wonder she likes you. But if I had a choice, I’d rather she didn’t.”
Ye Xuan looked at her, and she said softly, “Because someone like you surely has no shortage of women around him!”
Ye Xuan was silent.
She turned to him, smiling, “Looks like I hit the mark! You don’t just have one woman you like, do you?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “It’s all my father’s fault.”
She frowned, “Your father?”
Ye Xuan nodded earnestly, “He created this Mad Demon Bloodline. Those with it are naturally a bit… amorous. Sigh… sometimes, I can’t help myself!”
He activated the Mad Demon Bloodline…
Mad Demon Bloodline: “…”
Green-Robed Man: “…”
Seeing his bloodline, the woman’s expression changed, “What a terrifying bloodline! I’ve never seen such fearsome ferocity and killing intent…”
Ye Xuan nodded quickly, “Exactly! Because of this bloodline, I sometimes can’t control my… amorous tendencies. Sigh, it’s troubling.”
The Mad Demon Bloodline inwardly roared, “I only make you mad and demonic… not lustful, right?”
…
