Xiao Ta fell silent.
It knew its young master was truly enraged!
Since he started studying, the young master’s temperament had changed a lot, but the fire in his bones remained!
The Middle World sending assassins had clearly pushed him over the edge!
Upon receiving Ye Xuan’s orders, the two mysterious powerhouses from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion quietly departed. They never questioned Ye Xuan’s commands, executing them without hesitation.
Nearby, the Assassin Lord watched Ye Xuan disappear into the distance, his heart torn with indecision. He was genuinely conflicted.
Follow or not?
He struggled internally, uncertain. Following Ye Xuan meant getting entangled in the Yang Clan’s internal strife—a dangerous gamble. The Yang Clan wasn’t an ordinary family; one misstep in such a terrifying clan could lead to utter ruin.
Of course, as Ye Xuan said, if he succeeded, they could change their fates!
High rewards came with high risks!
After a long pause, the Assassin Lord sighed softly.
In the end, he gave up.
He didn’t want to gamble!
A bet could change his fate, but it could also leave him with nothing.
His current life, though mundane, was stable—no risks, no constant fear!
The Assassin Lord opened his palm and said, “Return this storage ring to the Middle World. We’re not taking this job!”
With that, he handed the ring to the elder beside him and turned to leave.
…
After receiving Ye Xuan’s orders, the two Immortal Treasure Pavilion powerhouses sprang into action. Soon, the presidents of several pavilion branches personally led their top fighters to the Great Heaven Realm!
Ye Xuan’s name was well-known in the pavilion.
He was the man closely tied to the pavilion master!
Upon receiving his orders, the branch presidents didn’t hesitate, immediately bringing their elite fighters to the Great Heaven Realm.
In the Great Heaven Realm, Qingqiu lounged on the chair Ye Xuan often used, reading a book.
Envoy Zhang stood respectfully nearby.
Truthfully, he feared Qingqiu more than Ye Xuan. This little girl was no ordinary threat.
Suddenly, Qingqiu said, “The Middle World sent people to kill my brother?”
Envoy Zhang nodded quickly. “Yes!”
Qingqiu’s face remained expressionless, silent.
Envoy Zhang hesitated, then said, “The young master is heading to the Middle World!”
Qingqiu nodded. “I’ll go with him!”
Envoy Zhang gave a wry smile. “The Middle World has powerhouses beyond Upper God Realm. I think…”
Qingqiu cut in, “Are powerhouses beyond Upper God Realm that impressive?”
Envoy Zhang was stunned. “Aren’t they?”
Qingqiu shook her head with a smile. “Within the mortal realms, all are ants!”
She paused, then added, “Except my brother!”
Envoy Zhang: “…”
…
In Qingzhou, in the imperial palace, Tuoba Yan looked at Ye Xuan. “Leaving?”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Got some business to handle!”
Tuoba Yan was silent for a moment, then asked, “When will you return?”
Ye Xuan smiled. “With the Qingxuan Sword in my hand, I can come back anytime!”
Tuoba Yan suddenly kissed him, whispering, “I’ll wait for you!”
Ye Xuan’s lips curved into a sly grin.
Sensing a change in him, Tuoba Yan’s cheeks flushed. “You…”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily, and the two vanished from the spot. At the same time, the Great Dao Pen and Xiao Ta shot out of the palace…
Xiao Ta: “…”
Great Dao Pen: “…”
…
Days later, Ye Xuan left the palace.
When he returned to the Great Heaven Realm, many Immortal Treasure Pavilion powerhouses had already gathered.
Envoy Zhang approached, bowing respectfully. “Greetings, Young Master!”
Ye Xuan asked, “How many Upper God Realm fighters do we have?”
Envoy Zhang replied gravely, “Including those from the Great Heaven Realm, twenty-six!”
Twenty-six!
Ye Xuan looked at him. “How do we compare to the Middle World?”
Envoy Zhang hesitated, then said, “The gap is vast. The Middle World has at least fifty Upper God Realm fighters, and they can summon more from other worlds. With a single order from their Realm God, they could gather hundreds in no time!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Got it!”
Envoy Zhang seemed about to speak but stopped.
Ye Xuan smiled. “Don’t be afraid!”
Envoy Zhang shook his head. “I’m not afraid—I’m furious! Young Master, how dare they send assassins after you? They’re just the Yang Clan’s lackeys, yet they dare! I’m… I’m livid!”
Ye Xuan laughed. “I’m pissed too. So, let’s crush them!”
Envoy Zhang growled, “Crush them! To death!”
Ye Xuan smiled, then turned to Qingqiu. “Little girl…”
Qingqiu interrupted, “I’m going with you!”
Ye Xuan hesitated. “This place still needs you…”
Qingqiu cut him off firmly. “I’m going with you!”
Resolute!
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then nodded. “Alright!”
Qingqiu’s face lit up with a sweet smile.
Ye Xuan studied her, then grinned. “You’re at God Transformation Realm?”
Qingqiu nodded. “Yup!”
Ye Xuan laughed. “Finally, my realm’s a bit higher than yours! Haha…”
Qingqiu suddenly snapped her fingers.
Boom!
Her aura surged, jumping from God Transformation to Upper God Realm!
Ye Xuan’s smile froze, his mind racing with a stampede of emotions.
Envoy Zhang stood petrified, feeling a pang in his chest.
Cultivation?
Damn it!
Look at her—no need to cultivate, just breaking through like that!
The more he thought, the angrier he got, his heart barely coping.
Qingqiu blinked. “Brother, what’s wrong?”
Ye Xuan hesitated, then asked, “You… just broke through like that?”
Qingqiu nodded. “Yeah!”
Ye Xuan frowned. “You don’t need cosmic veins? No comprehension?”
Qingqiu looked puzzled. “Breaking through isn’t simple? Why need those?”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Envoy Zhang’s expression was as stiff as a statue.
Ye Xuan still couldn’t grasp it. “Little girl, why is breaking through so easy for you? That’s not normal!”
Qingqiu thought, then said, “Maybe I’m just a genius!”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened. “So you’re saying we’re too dumb?”
Qingqiu giggled. “Brother’s not dumb!”
Ye Xuan gave a wry smile. “Then tell me, how do you break through with a snap?”
Qingqiu fell silent.
Ye Xuan softened. “Can’t say?”
Qingqiu shook her head. “I’m thinking how to trick you!”
Ye Xuan: “…”
Qingqiu suddenly laughed. “Brother, a long, long time ago, I was super powerful—invincibly so!”
Ye Xuan was quiet for a moment, then said, “I get it!”
Qingqiu smiled. “In my heart, Brother’s the most powerful.”
Ye Xuan gently ruffled her head, grinning. “Come on, let’s go fight with your brother!”
Qingqiu’s lips curved. “Okay!”
Ye Xuan led the group toward the Middle World.
On the way, Lan Qing, president of an Immortal Treasure Pavilion branch, gathered the other branch presidents. He glanced at them and said gravely, “Everyone, we’re targeting the Middle World, backed by the Yang Clan. You understand?”
They nodded, their expressions heavy.
Forget the Yang Clan—even the Middle World alone was formidable. Their Realm God could summon fighters from other worlds!
If they called in hundreds of Upper God Realm fighters, their group wouldn’t stand a chance.
Lan Qing continued, “But we don’t need to fear! Young Master Ye is the Yang Clan’s heir. They wouldn’t dare kill him, no matter how bold. But they’d dare kill us, so we must—”
Ye Xuan’s voice cut through. “President Lan, don’t worry. I won’t let you become cannon fodder!”
Lan Qing turned to see Ye Xuan approaching.
Seeing him, Lan Qing gave a wry smile. “Young Master Ye!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Rest assured, in the Middle World, I won’t let you be cannon fodder!”
Lan Qing nodded. “I trust your character, Young Master. But have you considered—they dared to send assassins after you, meaning they’re ready to break ties…”
He paused, then added, “Can you contact the Yang Clan’s higher-ups?”
Ye Xuan grinned. “No need!”
Lan Qing was stunned.
Ye Xuan chuckled softly. “Why contact the Yang Clan?”
Lan Qing fell silent.
Ye Xuan looked toward the depths of the starry sky, his gaze growing icy.
…
In the Middle World, news of Ye Xuan’s approach had already spread.
In a grand hall, the Middle World’s powerhouses gathered, their expressions grim.
Ye Xuan!
They hadn’t expected him to actually come. More importantly, the Middle World had received his message: if their powerhouses didn’t kneel before him upon his arrival, he’d slaughter their clans!
Slaughter their clans!
They were furious!
Though they were nothing in the Yang Clan, in this universe, they were among the elite. When had they ever been so humiliated?
Suddenly, Lord Si appeared in the hall.
Seeing him, everyone bowed.
Lord Si’s expression was calm. “I hear the young master is coming. Your thoughts?”
Silence.
Lord Si said coolly, “Issue the order: seal all space-time routes from the Middle World to the outer universe. No information leaves. Also, summon the realm lords of all major worlds to arrive within an hour!”
The crowd was confused. Why summon them?
Then Lord Si added, “Say someone’s impersonating the young master!”
Impersonating the young master!
The hall’s occupants instantly understood.
