Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Left Protector hesitated, “Young Master! This…”
Ye Xuan smiled, “What’s my father’s is mine! If the Great Heaven Realm Lord is unwilling, let him come find me!”
With that, he led Qingqiu away.
Left Protector sighed softly where he stood.
What a mess!
In truth, they couldn’t fathom the Yang Clan’s stance above.
Who exactly did the Yang Clan want as the heir?
If they chose Ye Xuan, why had the Green Shirt Sword Master never announced it within the clan, or even mentioned Ye Xuan’s existence?
In the hearts of many Yang Clan members, Yang Nianxue was the natural choice, having grown up in the clan, always by the Green Shirt Sword Master’s side, while Ye Xuan had only recently appeared from who-knows-where!
But if they supported Ye Xuan, they feared angering the big shots backing Yang Nianxue, who had many powerful supporters.
A dilemma!
Left Protector sighed again.
Ye Xuan paid no mind to Left Protector and the others, already leading Qingqiu into Great Heaven City!
This city was the most prosperous in the entire Great Heaven Realm. Upon entering, the view was vast, with buildings spaced far apart, creating a spacious and comfortable atmosphere.
Ye Xuan also noticed the city’s immense population, easily housing tens of millions!
As if struck by a thought, he suddenly called, “Left Protector!”
No sooner had he spoken than Left Protector appeared beside him.
After their earlier exchange, Left Protector’s attitude toward Ye Xuan had shifted dramatically.
As Ye Xuan said, whether he clashed with Yang Nianxue was not something small fries like them should meddle in!
So why take sides?
After all, Right Protector had already been killed…
Ye Xuan glanced at the city’s crowd, then asked, “Does the Yang Clan select outstanding talents from this city every year?”
Left Protector nodded, “Yes! A strong force needs fresh blood. I don’t know about other places, but in the Great Heaven Realm, every few years we select exceptional talents and prodigies to nurture.”
Ye Xuan nodded slightly, turning to Left Protector, “Has your Realm Lord not come to meet me yet?”
Left Protector gave a wry smile, “The Realm Lord isn’t in the city. He left the Great Heaven Realm before you arrived!”
Ye Xuan frowned, “Left?”
Left Protector nodded.
Ye Xuan, curious, asked, “Where to?”
Left Protector shook his head, “I don’t know!”
Ye Xuan fell silent for a moment, then smiled, “He’s not avoiding me on purpose, is he?”
Left Protector gave an awkward smile, not daring to respond.
Ye Xuan suddenly said, “To the City Lord’s Mansion!”
Left Protector quickly nodded, “Alright!”
With that, he led the way!
At that moment, Qingqiu suddenly said, “Brother, I’m going to explore!”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then said, “Be careful!”
Qingqiu smiled, “Okay!”
She turned and vanished nearby.
Ye Xuan glanced at Left Protector, who quickly waved his hand, and soon three Upper God Realm experts followed her.
Before long, Left Protector brought Ye Xuan to the City Lord’s Mansion. It was undeniably grand, like a palace, and extremely luxurious.
Ye Xuan surveyed the surroundings, then said, “Big, very nice, suitable for an academy!”
Left Protector looked embarrassed, not daring to speak.
At that moment, an old man suddenly appeared before Ye Xuan, glaring coldly, “This is the City Lord’s Mansion. Outsiders are not allowed to trespass!”
Left Protector hurriedly said, “Old Zhou, this is the Young Master!”
The old man’s expression remained cold, “No one is allowed!”
Left Protector’s face froze. Just then, Ye Xuan asked, “Left Protector, does the Great Heaven Realm belong to the Yang Clan?”
Left Protector replied, “Of course it does!”
Ye Xuan nodded. The next moment, he vanished from the spot.
A flash of sword light appeared before him. In an instant, Ye Xuan slipped out of the existing universe. Four afterimages swiftly passed through Old Zhou’s body.
Instant Invincibility!
The moment Ye Xuan unleashed that sword, Old Zhou’s face changed drastically. He opened his palm, and a black shield appeared in front of him. But as the four afterimages struck, the shield shattered instantly, and four sword lights slashed through Old Zhou’s body.
Rip, rip, rip, rip!
With four tearing sounds, Old Zhou, shield and all, was cut into pieces, scattering on the ground, blood splattering!
By then, Ye Xuan had appeared a short distance behind Old Zhou.
Sheathing his sword!
Ye Xuan walked slowly forward, “Clean it up. I don’t like the smell of blood!”
Left Protector stood petrified.
He was utterly stunned!
A one-shot kill!
Old Zhou was an Upper God Realm fifth-stage expert, second only to the Realm Lord in the Great Heaven Realm. Yet, facing Ye Xuan’s terrifying sword, he couldn’t even fight back and was instantly slain.
Too horrifying!
Left Protector’s heart was gripped with extreme fear!
At that moment, he believed that even the Realm Lord couldn’t withstand that sword!
The Sword Master’s son!
Left Protector suddenly turned and roared, “Clean it up! Don’t you know the Young Master hates the smell of blood?”
People quickly rushed to clean.
After entering the hall, Ye Xuan collapsed into a chair, drained.
Weak!
Using Instant Invincibility twice in a short time had taken a massive toll!
With his current strength, three times was his limit. If he used it again now, the consequences were unpredictable.
He was already very weak!
But Instant Invincibility combined with the Qingxuan Sword was practically unbeatable.
Not even the upgraded Little Pagoda could withstand it!
Perhaps only Erya’s battle armour could barely resist!
At that moment, Left Protector appeared at the door, bowing slightly, “Young Master!”
Ye Xuan swallowed a pill, then said, “Come in!”
Left Protector entered, and by then, Ye Xuan’s expression had calmed.
Ye Xuan said, “I’m taking over the Great Heaven Realm. If anyone objects, kill them for me!”
Left Protector hesitated, then said, “The Realm Lord…”
Ye Xuan looked at him calmly, “If he objects, kill him too!”
Left Protector: “…”
Ye Xuan suddenly asked, “What world is stronger than the Great Heaven Realm?”
Left Protector said solemnly, “That would be the Middle World. There, you’ll find super experts beyond the Upper God Realm! The Upper God Realm, Cang Realm, Luo Realm, and Great Heaven Realm all fall under the Middle World’s control. As far as I know, the Middle World oversees about a hundred universes like the Great Heaven Realm. Its Realm God—not Realm Lord, but Realm God—is like a minor lord in the secular world, capable of mobilizing countless armies and experts with a single command!”
Realm God!
Ye Xuan smiled, “So the Great Heaven Realm Lord went to the Middle World, right?”
Left Protector hesitated, then nodded.
Ye Xuan chuckled softly, “So, the Middle World’s Realm God can just barely touch the Yang Clan’s core circle. Correct?”
Left Protector shook his head with a wry smile, “I wouldn’t know!”
Ye Xuan fell silent for a moment, then said in his mind, “Little Pagoda, you’ve been with Dad. Do you know about the Yang Clan?”
Little Pagoda replied, “No idea!”
Ye Xuan frowned.
Little Pagoda continued, “Little Master, I’ll tell you, the Yang Clan’s power definitely wasn’t created by Master! He’s not interested in building factions! So, it must’ve been Mother Su who founded it! If it was Mother Su, then Snow Master is the legitimate heir!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
Little Pagoda added, “Honestly, Little Master, why care about the Yang Clan? Don’t forget, you’ve got Sister Destiny behind you. Compared to her, the Yang Clan is nothing, unless Master steps in!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Little Pagoda went on, “But I think Master wants you to inherit the Yang Clan!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Why?”
Little Pagoda said, “That ring, the one Master left you, he used to wear it himself. His stance is clear! But these lowlifes don’t recognise it! I think only the Yang Clan’s true core, like Sister Tingyun, would know that ring.”
Ye Xuan pondered, then said, “So what should I do now? If I keep going, I’ll have to kill a lot of people!”
“What’s there to fear?”
Little Pagoda suddenly roared, “Little Master, I don’t like this side of you! Have you gone soft from reading?”
Ye Xuan was stunned.
Little Pagoda continued angrily, “Where’s the Ye Xuan from Qing City who killed on a whim? The one who’d slaughter a million for his sister? Remember, the Great Heaven Realm and Middle World are just the Yang family’s subordinates. In Galaxy terms, they’re our hired help. A worker bullying the boss’s son? That’s rebellion! You’re not picking a fight; they’re coming for you. What’s there to fear? Take them out! Wipe out their clans! Kill a few strong ones, and they’ll learn to respect you! Why worry?”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Little Pagoda pressed on, “You’re the Young Master, Master’s son, the Yang Clan’s rightful heir, and they don’t recognise you? That’s nonsense! Little Master, remember this: without Master’s protection, these people are nothing. Why did Master allow the Yang Clan to be created? Why give you that ring? Clearly, to help you. Even if Master didn’t intend that, who cares? If they don’t mess with you, you don’t mess with them. But if they do, even if it’s Master himself, you fight! So what if you kill your father?”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened further.
Great Path Pen suddenly said, “Broken Pagoda, think before you speak! You…”
Little Pagoda roared, “You broken pen, don’t talk to me! If you were tough, you wouldn’t have been scared silent by Sister Destiny’s sword!”
“Damn it!”
Great Path Pen snapped, “Broken Pagoda, don’t push my limits. Believe me, I’ll deal with you right now!”
“Do it!” Little Pagoda roared, “Besides Sister Destiny, who am I afraid of?”
Great Path Pen started to retort, but Little Pagoda cut in, “Stop yapping! You and your master come at me together! I’m invincible, do your worst!”
Great Path Pen: “…”
