Hearing Qin Guan’s words, Luo Tian was instantly furious, “How dare you!”
Qin Guan ignored him and turned to Ye Xuan, “I’ll give you another token!”
As she spoke, she opened her palm, and a golden token floated to Ye Xuan.
The token she had given him earlier was black!
Qin Guan smiled, “Have fun, I’ve got work to do!”
Ye Xuan quickly said, “I borrowed quite a bit of money from your people!”
Qin Guan paused, turned to face Ye Xuan, and asked, “How much?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Over four billion cosmic veins!”
Qin Guan thought for a moment, then asked, “So, what’s your plan?”
Ye Xuan gave a wry smile, “I can’t pay you back anytime soon!”
Qin Guan laughed, “Then don’t! Consider it my sponsorship for your academy!”
Nearby, Lan Qing’s expression froze.
Ye Xuan blinked, “Sponsor the academy?”
Qin Guan nodded, “I’ve looked into your academy, and it’s impressive. I can tell you’re serious about it! I’m happy to support something meaningful like this. Not just with money, I can also provide some ancient texts. But I have one small request!”
Ye Xuan, curious, asked, “What’s that?”
Qin Guan said earnestly, “Keep going!”
Ye Xuan replied solemnly, “I will!”
Qin Guan smiled, “Good! I’ve got some things to handle, but once I’m done, I’ll join you! Then, I’ll merge the Huaxia Academy with your Guanxuan Academy, and we’ll run it together!”
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, “Great!”
With Qin Guan’s support, the Guanxuan Academy would be unstoppable!
Money? Plenty of it!
People? No shortage there either!
Qin Guan said no more and turned to leave.
After Qin Guan disappeared, Lan Qing glanced at Ye Xuan, his expression turning peculiar.
Cold sweat dripped down!
He knew Qin Guan and Ye Xuan were acquainted, but he hadn’t realised their relationship… had that kind of vibe!
If things went that way, Ye Xuan might just become the man of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!
Lucky!
Good thing he’d built that goodwill earlier!
Otherwise, this could’ve been a disaster!
Ye Xuan snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the black token in his hand. Without hesitation, he activated it!
Boom!
The black token transformed into a streak of black light that shot into the sky, vanishing into the depths of the starry expanse!
Ye Xuan looked up at the starry sky. Soon, two mysterious figures in black robes emerged from the depths!
The two stepped forward, arriving instantly before Ye Xuan. As they appeared, the entire Luo City trembled and became illusory!
Upper God Realm!
Seeing this, Luo Tian’s face grew grim!
The two mysterious figures bowed respectfully to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan glanced at Luo Tian, “Take him down!”
At that, Luo Tian’s expression changed drastically, “You…”
At that moment, the two mysterious figures charged towards Luo Tian!
Two Upper God Realm fighters!
Luo Tian’s heart sank, and he roared, “Attack!”
As his voice rang out, the fighters behind him moved to act, but Ye Xuan coldly swept his gaze over them, “Who dares!”
Boom!
A blood-red aura surged from Ye Xuan’s body, and in an instant, a terrifying bloodline pressure enveloped all the Luo City fighters!
Faced with this overwhelming bloodline pressure, the Luo City fighters’ faces paled, and they dared not move!
Ye Xuan was the true Young Master!
To act against the Young Master was outright rebellion!
At this moment, Zhang Shi, standing nearby, quickly positioned himself beside Ye Xuan, coldly eyeing the Luo City fighters!
Earlier, he’d been a bit panicked!
Ye Xuan teaming up with outsiders to challenge the Yang Clan had worried him, but on second thought, how could Ye Xuan possibly rebel?
Ye Xuan was the Young Master!
The true Young Master of the Yang Clan!
His actions were likely to establish his authority!
Ye Xuan glanced at Zhang Shi and smiled slightly. Truth be told, Zhang Shi was quite capable and worth cultivating!
The Immortal Treasure Pavilion fighters brought by Lan Qing also gathered around Ye Xuan!
After hearing Qin Guan’s words earlier, Lan Qing had already started seeing Ye Xuan as the future master of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!
If he didn’t show his worth now, he might not get another chance!
At that moment, Ye Xuan looked up. In the starry depths, Luo Tian was completely suppressed.
Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze and turned to Zhang Shi, “You’ll temporarily take charge of the Luo Realm!”
He glanced at the Luo City fighters, “Anyone who disobeys, kill them on the spot!”
With that, he walked off into the distance.
Zhang Shi quickly responded, “Yes, sir!”
He looked at the Luo Realm fighters, “Do you follow Luo Tian or the Young Master?”
The crowd’s faces darkened.
Follow Luo Tian or the Young Master?
Seeing their hesitation, Zhang Shi’s gaze grew cold.
This place had practically become its own little kingdom, so far from the emperor that these people only knew Luo Tian and not the Yang Clan!
Zhang Shi was already harbouring killing intent!
But he didn’t act. As a subordinate, the biggest taboo was acting on one’s own!
Zhang Shi quickly followed Ye Xuan.
In the field, Lan Qing glanced at Luo Tian, under siege in the sky, and shook his head.
He knew Luo Tian was finished!
Unless the Yang Clan truly wanted Yang Nianxue to inherit the family, or unless Ye Xuan and Yang Nianxue were at odds, Luo Tian had no chance of survival!
A mere subordinate daring to defy the Young Master was breaking the rules!
He knew Luo Tian was trying to show loyalty, but Luo Tian hadn’t realised one thing: he was just a small fry, not even cannon fodder in the grand scheme of the Yang Clan. What loyalty was he trying to prove?
Intelligence!
Lan Qing sighed and shook his head.
Better to read more books, lest low intelligence leads to ruin!
…
Ye Xuan and Zhang Shi arrived at Luo Tian’s city lord mansion. Upon entering, Ye Xuan noticed the mansion was completely empty. Clearly, everyone had heard about the events at the tavern earlier.
Ye Xuan looked around. Truth be told, the city lord mansion was vast, like a palace!
Ye Xuan chuckled, “Perfect for an academy!”
An academy!
Zhang Shi turned to Ye Xuan, “Young Master, are you planning to establish an academy here?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Yes!”
Zhang Shi hesitated, then said, “Young Master, forgive my boldness, but if you want to build a powerful force, you could simply return and inherit the Yang Clan.”
Ye Xuan shook his head, “It’s different!”
Zhang Shi, curious, asked, “How so?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “The academy I’m building has a different purpose from the Yang Clan’s. Changing the entire Yang Clan overnight isn’t realistic, so I can only use the Yang Clan to develop the academy and gradually transform the clan later!”
Zhang Shi, excited, asked, “Is the Young Master aiming for the heir’s position?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “It’s already mine. Why fight for it?”
With that, he walked off.
Zhang Shi hesitated, then said, “The Eldest Miss…”
Without turning back, Ye Xuan said, “If my sister wants it, I’ll let her have it. It makes no difference whether she or I take it!”
Hearing this, Zhang Shi was momentarily stunned, then shook his head with a smile.
Luo Tian was done for!
Initially, he thought Ye Xuan and Yang Nianxue were at odds, but now it was clear their sibling bond was strong!
Since the siblings were close, didn’t that make Luo Tian a fool?
…
Ye Xuan arrived at a quiet hall. Inside was a statue of a man in green robes!
Looking at the statue, Ye Xuan smiled, “Old Zhang!”
Zhang Shi appeared behind Ye Xuan. Pointing at the statue, Ye Xuan said, “Take this down! Replace it with mine!”
Zhang Shi: “…”
Zhang Shi ultimately complied. Soon, the statue in the hall was replaced with one of Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan sat in the room.
The two mysterious figures he’d summoned earlier entered, and between them was Luo Tian!
But Luo Tian’s physical body was gone, leaving only his soul, bound by a red iron chain.
The two mysterious figures brought Luo Tian before Ye Xuan and bowed respectfully.
Ye Xuan smiled, “Thank you both for your efforts!”
The two quickly shook their heads and respectfully stepped aside.
Ye Xuan looked at Luo Tian and smiled, “Lord Luo Tian, from this moment, I’m taking over the Luo Realm!”
Luo Tian glared at Ye Xuan, “On what grounds?”
Ye Xuan smiled, about to speak, when an old man suddenly entered the hall!
As the old man stepped in, the two mysterious figures beside Ye Xuan looked up, their gazes locking onto him.
The old man ignored their stares and walked slowly to Ye Xuan. He clasped his fists, “Young Master, I am Zhao Nie, Lord of the Cang Realm. Luo Tian is my subordinate.”
Ye Xuan smiled, “You got here fast!”
Zhao Nie said solemnly, “Young Master, Luo Tian has done nothing wrong. Why treat him this way?”
Ye Xuan looked straight at Zhao Nie, “Are you questioning me?”
Zhao Nie’s expression remained calm, “I wouldn’t dare. But Luo Tian has no fault, and for the Young Master to treat him like this is unreasonable and disheartens us subordinates.”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
At that moment, one of the mysterious figures beside Ye Xuan suddenly said, “How laughable. You’re just a subordinate, yet you dare question your master! Who gave you the nerve!”
They knew of Ye Xuan’s relationship with Qin Guan and thus treated him as one of their own.
Zhao Nie glanced at the speaking figure and said calmly, “Sir, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion interfering in our Yang Clan’s internal affairs—I’ve already reported this. I hope your Pavilion Master can provide a reasonable explanation!”
Ye Xuan laughed, “Explanation? Explain what?”
He stood and walked to Zhao Nie, saying, “Before, I didn’t care much for this Young Master title, but now, I’ve changed my mind! I’m going to inherit the family, and I’m going to be the second-generation heir!”
Zhao Nie’s expression remained calm, about to speak, when Ye Xuan cut in, “Enough talk! Call your people! Call the strongest person behind you. It’s been a while since I called my dad! Come on, you call your big shot, I’ll call my dad, and let’s see who’s tougher!”
Zhao Nie: “…”
